Lord Holy Sword is unreliable again.

"No!" Wang Hong and Yun Ying exclaimed simultaneously! Yun Ying lowered her head in shame. "Wang Hong, I'm so sorry..."

"I'll talk, I'll talk!" Wang Hong's face was ashen. "Lord Mo Jie, ask away, I'll confess everything!"

"Don't rush!" Mo Jie felt extremely pleased. This masterpiece, which he had poured his heart and soul into, had finally come in handy! Even those divine beasts didn't receive this kind of treatment!

"This item is called the Soul-Sealing Robe of Absolute Breath. I obtained it from a flash of inspiration while observing the stars at night!" Mo Jie introduced his beloved item to a customer like a true master.

"Those wrapped in this robe will lose their five senses and six consciousnesses. In an unconscious state, their spiritual power will be peeled away bit by bit, like a silkworm being unraveled. Because this robe isolates all the exchange of aura and energy, this spiritual power will return along the same path."

"But what's done is done! These spiritual energies, once extracted, naturally bring with them a violent aura. They will rampage through your body until they destroy all life in your body."

"But please rest assured, how could I let these reckless fellows do as they please!" Mo Jie's eyes revealed a hint of smugness. He straightened his back and said arrogantly, "At this moment, the Spirit-Sealing Robe will activate again, recalling those disobedient little guys. Of course, they will definitely feel a little pain when they return!"

"But don't worry, I know you're afraid of pain, so I sent them back when they were almost at the top of the robe."

"Hehe, aren't I thoughtful?"

Wang Hong was already at his wit's end, but he still patiently said, "Your ingenious ideas are truly remarkable! You will surely be a unique figure among the demons in the future!"

"Thank you for the compliment!" Mo Jie's expression suddenly changed. A black hole of his Soul Devouring Technique appeared in his right hand, which he slammed into Wang Hong's forehead. "Tell me, what is your true identity!"

Wang Hong's consciousness almost burst out of his body, and he seemed to unconsciously say, "My name is Wang Hong, and I am a man."

Suddenly, he launched an attack. The Holy Sword itself flew straight through the black hole and appeared inside Mo Jie's body. Mo Jie was shocked. No matter how he used his spiritual energy and spiritual essence to attack the jade sword that had entered his body, it could only create ripples and had no effect whatsoever.

After absorbing the essence and spiritual energy, the Holy Sword became full of energy and swept through Mo Jie's body with unstoppable force.

Mo Jie instinctively tried to back away, but he couldn't adapt to the situation of having only one leg, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

At this moment, the jade sword actually headed towards the core of his inner energy!

His face was filled with shock and anger. How could this be?

How could this person possibly know his weakness? Otherwise, he would have been dead when he was almost cleaved in two!

Wang Hong calmly stood up and stood with his back to her.

He knew that Mo Jie was doomed this time!

When Mo Jie used torture on him, Holy Sword finally came to his senses.

[Partial information about the Qing tribe unlocked...]

【Mo Jie: Qing Tribe】

[Characteristic: The Qing Clan's cultivation method differs from that of ordinary cultivators; they manipulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth by cultivating the Core of Tranquil Essence.]

[The core of the Silent Origin is the vital point of the Qing Clan; once destroyed, certain death is certain.]

[Powerful cultivators of the Qing Clan can directly escape their physical bodies in times of crisis, and can directly condense their flesh and blood to regenerate using only the Silent Origin Core.]

Clearly, Mo Jie is not among the "powerful cultivators of the Qing Clan".

boom--

To Yun Ying's astonishment, Wang Hong stood naked, like a god descending to earth. Mo Jie's body slowly floated down, making his back appear incomparably majestic.

How did he do it?

"In the past, King Goujian of Yue endured hardship and humiliation, and his three thousand Yue soldiers finally conquered Wu." Wang Hong's magnetic voice rang out, steady and powerful, "Today, I, Wang Hong, lie in bed and sense the aura of the sacred sword; only then does the holy sword unleash its power and shatter the chime!"

[The sword wielder has been detected as meeting the cultivation requirements...]

[Initiating compatibility with the Holy Sword's exclusive techniques...]

[The Sacred Technique "Heavenly Heart Righteous Qi Formula"]

Lu Huaiyuan's leisurely voice seemed to come from beyond the heavens:

Ice peaks rise majestically into the sky, their coldness overwhelming; clouds condense and water freezes, burying land and sea.

The nature of killing and the desire to harm people cannot sever the roots of thorns and brambles, nor can it unleash the power of the phoenix and the qilin.

In this way, how can it be called gentle and warm, like nourishing rain, so that the prosperity and decline of the world can be harmoniously shared by every household?

This is Qi Ji's "Bitter Cold Journey" from the Tang Dynasty.

Before the sound had even faded, a new mood had emerged—

"Ultimately vast and supremely strong, filling heaven and earth. Upright and harmless, this is righteous energy. Righteous energy is like a dike, sacred energy is like the sea. He who wields the sacred sword is not bound by good or evil."

"Only by channeling this righteous energy with the will of Heaven can it become sacred energy, and only then can it be called the 'Heavenly Heart Sacred Energy Secret'."

Wang Hong's heart skipped a beat. Just moments ago, the air was bitterly cold and desolate, but now it was as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining through, and a surge of righteous energy rose from his chest.

The voice paused, then sounded more somber when it resumed.

"The Yellow River flows eastward for 30,000 miles to the sea, and the Five-thousand-foot-high mountain reaches the sky. The surviving people weep under the starry sky, looking back at the land of China for another year."

As the resounding voices of ancient poems echoed in his ears, Wang Hong felt as if he had truly become Lu Huaiyuan's preacher, with the most revered teacher seemingly standing right in front of him, earnestly instructing him.

Wang Hong's heart stirred with excitement. Finally, could he begin his cultivation?

[The Heavenly Heart Righteousness Technique: The core inherited cultivation method of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion, using the heart as the furnace, righteousness as the fire, and heaven and earth as the cauldron. Cultivators must possess the righteousness of heaven and earth in their hearts and have the ability to discern between good and evil before they can even begin.]

[Core principle: To attain the state of a sage by cultivating the heart and spirit of a sage.]

[First Level: The First Flame of the Heart.]

At this moment, the fire in Wang Hong's heart was so real that it illuminated his entire chest, which was the Tanzhong acupoint, the location of the middle dantian!

At this moment, the Holy Sword emitted a wisp of pure spiritual energy, which started from the heart and traveled down along the Ren meridian.

As the spiritual energy coursed through his body, Wang Hong's senses became clearer than ever before, and his meridians felt exceptionally distinct.

The Ren meridian is like a warm river, with spiritual energy flowing through it. Wherever it passes, waves of comfort and pleasure are felt. The land that Mo Jie has plowed countless times has finally welcomed its first drop of sweet rain.

The spiritual energy descended all the way and eventually converged at the Qi Sea, where his dantian was located!

The boundless darkness.

Before chaos was created and heaven and earth were separated, it was like a desolate void.

Wisps of spiritual energy entered this darkness, like the first ray of sunlight piercing through the eternal night, though chaotic and disorderly, like rootless drifting catkins.

But as more and more spiritual energy poured in, the specks of spiritual light gradually gathered and intertwined, and an invisible force quietly emerged, causing them to slowly rotate along some mysterious trajectory.

The rotation speed increased, and the spiritual energy became more and more concentrated, eventually condensing into a faint vortex deep within the dantian.

"boom--"

A booming sound reached my mind: Dantian, open!

The moment the dantian was activated, a strange wave spread out from the abdomen.

Wang Hong's lips curled up slightly. "Four Continents, you damned Qing Clan, prepare to welcome your overlord!"

According to the Holy Sword, the Heavenly Heart Holy Qi Technique currently only has Heart Fire but no Holy Qi. Wang Hong must combine Heart Fire with spiritual Qi through continuous cultivation in order to transform spiritual Qi into Holy Qi.

The second level, "The Initial Condensation of Heavenly Heart," is the key to cultivating sacred energy!

Wang Hong slowly opened his eyes, a glint of fire flashing briefly in his dark pupils.

He looked up and met Yun Ying's deep, unfathomable eyes, which were fixed on him intently.

"Don't overthink it, I have no interest in your body!" Yunying was startled by Wang Hong's gaze and quickly waved her hand.

"Why would I think you're interested in my body?" Wang Hong was genuinely puzzled. No, even if you're a great beauty, you can't look at me like that, can you?

Yunying blushed and pointed at Wang Hong's black robe. "I didn't see it, the robe just flew onto you!"

"Oh, I see!" Wang Hong said, looking as if he had just realized something.

"There are restrictions here, and I can't move!" Yunying was even angrier when she saw Wang Hong's appearance, and pointed to the array runes on the side.

"Oh, I see!"

Yunying was furious, so she pointed to Mo Jie's naked body, "I can't exactly take his clothes off, can I!"

Upon closer inspection, Wang Hong felt a wave of nausea wash over him. "Ugh... ugh... ugh..."

Damn it, who put this thing on me?! *Sigh*
