Chapter 1067 Jinghong
"Is your injury serious?" Hu Yunni asked, looking at his chest.

Several finger strikes hit him.

Given the sheer power of that finger strike, he should have been seriously injured.

Judging from his current appearance, he seemed perfectly fine after spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"It doesn't matter."

Leng Tieya was indeed not seriously injured.

When he arrived in the demon realm, his cultivation level was suppressed, and he could only unleash 70% of the power of the Great Heavenly Demon, which was equivalent to that of a Heavenly Demon.

However, this was only because the demonic energy was weakened by the demonic realm after leaving his body; its purity within his body was not weakened.

The finger force was powerful, but ultimately the practitioner's skill level was insufficient, and the damage it caused was negligible.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood is already the maximum performance one can put on.

The bag was opened, and the corpse inside was poured out, immediately releasing a stench of blood.

Hu Yunni examined the severed head without changing her expression, then shook her head: "The method of possession is indeed strange."

Leng Tieya said, "This is another Supreme Heavenly Demon possessing a body. Who is this Supreme Heavenly Demon with astonishing finger techniques?"

Hu Yunni frowned and pondered: "I have heard of a supreme celestial demon who cultivated the 'Surprising Finger,' a lost finger technique, which was created by a supreme celestial demon from 30,000 years ago."

"Thirty thousand years ago..."

Leng Tieya revealed a look of emotion.

Influenced by Chu Zhiyuan's previous life, he never quite understood the concept of time.

After all, human history in the previous life was only three to five thousand years, so it is difficult to have a clear concept of ten thousand years.

Even after receiving the memories of the Great Heavenly Demon and the Supreme Heavenly Demon, he still couldn't completely correct his ways.

Thirty thousand years is truly an unreachable distance, but in Hu Yunni's words, it feels like thirty years.

Hu Yunni said, "Among the supreme demons I've inquired about, only this one fits the description."

“That is him.” Leng Tieya sighed, “Even the Supreme Heavenly Demon from 30,000 years ago can be resurrected… I suspect that those Supreme Heavenly Demons who perished or even disappeared without a trace may have been resurrected.”

"...Can a Supreme Heavenly Demon be like a Great Heavenly Demon?" Hu Yunni frowned slightly.

Leng Tieya was taken aback.

Hu Yunni said, "If they had really been resurrected, it's impossible that there would be no news at all. With the cultivation experience of a supreme celestial demon, how could they have been wasting their time?"

Leng Tieya said, "Is it possible that after possessing a body, cultivation will be hindered, and one will be subject to the shackles of the original body?"

Hu Yunni said, "Then why don't they find someone with high aptitude to possess?"

Leng Tieya pondered: "Those with good aptitude either join a prestigious sect or find it difficult to possess another's body?"

Hu Yunni frowned slightly: "Senior Brother Miao has excellent aptitude, but if it weren't for the Heavenly Star Stone, he would have already been possessed, wouldn't he?"

“Hmm…” Leng Tieya nodded slowly.

Hu Yunni said, "The matter of the Supreme Heavenly Demon may have just begun."

"Is there some strange change in the heavens and earth?" Leng Tieya looked up at the sky.

Hu Yunni said, "That's possible...a storm is brewing."

Leng Tieya nodded slowly.

Leng Tieya kept staring at the corpse in front of him, searching for its remains.

The remains were ultimately determined to be a finger, the index finger of the left hand.

The middle-aged man had previously flicked his fingers repeatedly with astonishing power, using only his left index finger.

His entire body was clearly illuminated, except for this finger, which was obscured and could not be seen clearly.

Leng Tieya said slowly, "Miss Hu, I have a request."

Hu Yunni frowned slightly as she looked at him: "You want my remains?"

Leng Tieya nodded.

All that had happened before, from self-harm to sacrificing oneself to protect others, was for this moment.

Hu Yunni stared intently at him, her bright eyes shining, as if trying to see right through him.

Leng Tieya said, "I think it's better for me to do the research myself than to let Zhaixingya do it."

Hu Yunni snorted, "Elder Lu and the others were careless last time."

Leng Tieya shook his head and said, "If it were me, the outcome would not have been the same."

Hu Yunni rolled her eyes at him and said, "You think you're stronger than our elders?"

“The elders of Zhaixing Cliff are extremely powerful, but the fact is they messed it up,” Leng Tieya said. “It could have been avoided.”

"You can say that now, but if it were you in that situation, you might have messed it up too."

"No, please give these remains to me."

"How will you conduct your research?" Hu Yunni asked. "Will you use it to find other ones?"

Leng Tieya nodded slowly: "It's worth a try. Of course, we can also use your remains to find another one."

“…Fine, here you go.” Hu Yunni snorted, “But this matter must be kept secret, only you and I should know.”

Leng Tieya frowned.

Hu Yunni said irritably, "If the people in the cliff find out, they'll inevitably gossip." She wasn't afraid of the elders in the sect blaming her; what she was worried about was her peers saying that she was having romantic feelings.

Leng Tieya said, "I have made so many contributions, and I can't even get a skeleton in return? Just say that this skeleton is to reward me for my contributions, and there is no need to mention anything else."

Hu Yunni asked, "Is that really how it should be?"

Leng Tieya nodded slowly.

Hu Yunni glanced at him sideways: "You think that the things inside the cliff can no longer entice you, right?"

Leng Tieya nodded with a smile.

Hu Yunni snorted and said, "I can't keep urging you, but the people inside the cliff have been studying what kind of reward to give you."

"It's nothing more than some elixirs or treasures, isn't it?" Leng Tieya said, "That's not what I lack."

“You want the inheritance of the mental cultivation method.” Hu Yunni shook her head gently: “The one inside the cliff cannot be passed on to you, and the one outside the cliff is either something you look down on or something you can’t practice, like the Dragon Taming Technique.”

Leng Tieya laughed and said, "It must have been difficult for your sect. I might as well just practice my own cultivation method and stop being greedy and demanding."

Hu Yunni sighed.

This is indeed a difficult situation, as the cliff contains some top-notch cultivation techniques, but the cliff owner is unwilling to reveal them.

What is presented is often merely a name that sounds impressive but lacks the ability to cultivate oneself; the requirements are too demanding.

So she felt rather helpless, but she didn't feel any resentment towards the cliff because of Leng Tieya.

Leng Tieya cut off the middle finger of his right hand, buried it in the ground, and then erected a stone tablet as a grave.

……

"Shall we continue the pursuit?" He shifted his gaze from the carved stone tablet to Hu Yunni.

Hu Yunni opened the silver box and handed it to him.

Leng Tieya closed his eyes, then opened them a moment later, his eyes bright and piercing: "I really did sense it!"

"Then let's go."

"This time it's estimated to be even further."

"It's alright," Hu Yunni said. "I've already said that."

So they headed east.

……

Chu Zhiyuan took a step forward and arrived at the grave, then gently stomped his foot.

Suddenly, the soil surged and flowed, lifting out a corpse—the headless one.

Chu Zhiyuan formed a hand seal with both hands and directly activated the Great Demon Subduing Seal.

A golden light condensed in the air.

A giant tree faintly appeared in the void, its trunk hazy as if shrouded in moonlight.

A beam of moonlight fell, collided with the golden light, and merged into one, transforming into a clear light.

The bright light, like a pool of autumn water, enveloped the corpse.

A moment later, a soft, seven-colored radiance floated out of the corpse and landed between his eyebrows.

He stomped his foot.

The ground churned up again, pushing the corpse back underground.

A severed finger flew into his sleeve and disappeared.

The grave has been restored to normal.

He took a step and vanished without a trace.

The next moment, he appeared inside the Demon-Subduing Palace, closed his eyes, and remained motionless.

After being refined by the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree and the Great Demon-Subduing Seal, the seven-colored radiance had become pure and flawless, devoid of emotions and many dark thoughts, containing only memories.

He seemed to relive Lu Yongnian's life from a detached perspective.

The extraordinary life of a supreme celestial demon.

When he opened his eyes, the sense of vicissitude in his gaze was once again so profound that it could not be dispelled.

"Ugh……"

He let out a long sigh.

Lu Yongnian's life was truly one of indomitable spirit, a life of relentless struggle and continuous progress.

It is admirable and praiseworthy, but I am ashamed to admit that I am not as good as him.

The will contained within this seven-colored radiance unknowingly influenced him.

The power of Lu Yongnian's "Surprising Finger" technique was truly astonishing.

He was more concerned with willpower.

It turns out that it is not necessary to gather the will of a single supreme celestial demon.

The same applies now.

The will of every supreme celestial demon is actually interconnected!
