Duan Gujin struggled for a while, only to find that his body was immobile, so he could only let the released Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul go into a frenzy.

Gradually, time passed, and about a day later, the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul in his body finally calmed down.

He used his Divine Sense to internally inspect his Divine Soul. After checking thoroughly, he finally discovered some inexplicable Rule Power surrounding his Divine Soul, and then he realized he had wasted an opportunity for Enlightenment.

"Ah! What a great opportunity, just wasted like that!"

Duan Gujin sighed, but since things had reached this point, he had no other choice but to accept the outcome.

He saw a gourd in the pool, and with a thought, his right hand sucked the gourd up from the bottom of the pool.

First, he cleaned the mud off the gourd, then his Divine Sense entered it.

A moment later, his Divine Sense sensed that there were some Classics and Elixir Medicine Bottles at the bottom of the pool.

He frowned slightly, then tried to control the gourd to see if he could open it.

After fiddling with it for a while, he finally managed to retrieve all the Classics and Elixir Medicine Bottles inside.

His Divine Sense entered those Classics, rapidly absorbing the content.

After a good while, he suddenly realized.

"So that's what it was!"

The Classics detailed the Ten Thousand Immortals Wanmen sect.

After going through all the Classics, Duan Gujin learned that the place he had arrived at was formerly a Healing Holy Land used by the Ten Thousand Immortals Wanmen to treat injuries.

In an incident, seven female elders in the sect were all severely poisoned by an enemy.

Those seven elders, to avoid humiliation, fled here, intending to use the resources of this place to heal.

However, the poison was too deep, impossible to cure; they could only struggle day by day.

Although there was no further record, Duan Gujin deduced from various clues that the seven female corpses he had seen before were those poisoned elders.

Clearly, they couldn't hold on any longer and all perished together.

"Dizzy! Those seven female elders died from poisoning; now that I've absorbed all the Primordial Energy in this pool, is my body okay?"

Duan Gujin immediately thought of his own body and hastily used his Divine Sense to inspect his physique internally.

After a thorough check, he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his body.

"Good! My body is fine!"

Although he had found some Classics of the Ten Thousand Immortals Wanmen, those were not suitable for his current level of cultivation, so he didn't look at them.

His Divine Sense then inspected the Elixir Medicine Bottles. He sensed that the Elixir Pills inside were completely ruined.

"It's normal for them to be ruined; after all, these Elixir Pills are at least a thousand years old!"

He opened the Elixir Medicine Bottle and seeing the whitish contents inside, he knew that the medicinal properties of the Elixir Pills were completely gone.

After a while, he discovered one of the Elixir Medicine Bottles had the words "Highly Poisonous" attached to it.

His Divine Sense penetrated into that Elixir Medicine Bottle and after a moment, he gasped, "Heavens! What kind of severe poison is this, so potent!"

His Divine Sense felt the intense poison inside that Elixir Medicine Bottle, determining that the poison was indeed extremely formidable.

"This is the Poisonous Pill cultivated by the Ten Thousand Immortals Immortal Sect! It says that just with this one bottle of Poison Pill, at least ten thousand Emperor Wus could be poisoned to death!"

Duan Gujin expressed ambiguity toward the texts, given that he hadn't witnessed them himself. Moreover, the bottle of poison he now had in his hands had survived a thousand years, and there was no telling if it was still effective.

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, resigned to the fact that his attempt at enlightenment had failed.

He leaped up, intending to leave then and there, but in the next moment, he felt a sudden drastic change within his soul sea.

He sucked in a cold breath and quickly sat down cross-legged, not wanting his body to fall into an uncontrollable state again.

Moments later, he felt his entire body suddenly turn cold, an overwhelmingly icy chill covering his flesh.

"What is this? Could it be that the Elixir Medicine Bottle I just touched was poisoned?"

Duan Gujin's face drastically changed, panic rising in his heart as he circulated his Primordial Power.

The next moment, he realized he really was poisoned.

"I'm really poisoned!"

His mind raced, and he remembered that he had swallowed an entire pool of Innate Yuan Qi earlier, which contained those female corpses, along with the deadly poison on their bodies.

With this thought, he felt like weeping bitterly.

"This is all the trouble caused by the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul!"

He hurriedly took out some Detoxification Elixir from his storage ring—he had very few left, and after swallowing it this time, he wouldn't have any more.

Time slowly passed, his face still deathly pale. He felt as though his entire body had been thoroughly frozen.

After a while, he felt like even his internal organs were frozen.

Projecting his Divine Sense outward, he saw his body slowly being covered by a layer of thin ice at a visible rate.

Seeing this scene, his heart pounded with fear.

Because, at this point, he could only watch helplessly as his body was covered by Cold Ice, unable to do anything about it.

"Yes, my current state is exactly like those of the seven poisoned female corpses!"

Duan Gujin swiftly recalled the description of the poisoning of those seven female corpses he had read about in the classics inside a gourd, inhaling sharply as a chill ran through him.

Those seven female corpses had been strong in life, but they couldn't withstand the deadly poison and eventually died here.

And now that he was poisoned here, the thought of the consequences horrified him.

"This is all the mischief caused by the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul!"

Duan Gujin sighed. He didn't know what else he could do now; he could only wait for death.

He simply closed his eyes, choosing not to do anything or think about anything.

Even if he wanted to cultivate, he couldn't, as his entire body was in a terrifyingly frozen state, all functions completely unable to operate normally.

An hour later, Duan Gujin finally felt a response from the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul deep within his soul sea; they began to stir and move.

As they moved, the frozen state of his body was immediately lifted.

Feeling his body rapidly recovering, he exhaled a breath of foul air.

The next moment, he felt a golden light appear deep within his soul sea, as waves of powerful Qi started spreading in all directions.

His eyes brightened fiercely; he knew this meant he was about to breakthrough.

He had previously swallowed a lot of pure Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and the deadly poison initially contained in that Primordial Qi began to take effect on his body, suppressing his enlightenment and leveling.

But that poison, after a thousand years, had mostly lost its potency and did not cause fatal damage to Duan Gujin's body.
