Cultivation through Skin Making

Princess Xi had already seen a miracle in this man. Coupling that with the attitudes of Ancestor Ningxin and the Yin Yang Profound Dragon, along with what this man was currently doing, she had her own thoughts, but she didn't care much about those thoughts. Therefore... when her master reminded her at this moment, she nodded seriously and said, "I will pass it on."

...

After Princess Xi left, Song Yan sat cross-legged and took out the "Nine Bloods of the Dragon Elephant" one by one.

After a slight hesitation, he raised his hand and pointed at the first and most important vial of essence blood ———— the Essence Blood of the Emperor Shiba Elephant.

The Emperor Shiba Elephant was one of the top-tier demon tribes of the Mountain and Sea Demon Race.

After becoming a member of the Formless Ancient Race, Song Yan had gained a basic understanding of this continent.

In short: besides various small countries scattered around like Ancient Jin and Great Chu, there are nine Ancient Races and seven Alliances in total.

Among them, the "Seven Alliances" refer to the seven "racial settlements" of the Mountain and Sea Demon Race.

The previous Changwang Hu, Multi-tailed Fox, and Corpse-Eating Wolf belonged to one "racial settlement," which now falls under the "Bilan Double Headed Pride Worm Tribe," thus turning the Eight Alliances into the Seven Alliances.

However, not every racial settlement is composed of three tribes; some even consist of four or five tribes.

Being able to become a top-tier demon tribe among so many tribes shows the power of the Emperor Shiba Elephant.

Besides the Emperor Shiba Elephant, the other top-tier demon tribes are: Willow Serpent, Bilan Double Headed Pride Worm, and the former Changwang Hu.

Each of these four major demon tribes has its unique features...

At this moment, Song Yan gazed at the essence blood of the "Emperor Shiba Elephant," pondered for a bit, took out the Profound Jade, and began to digest using the "Profound Sword Scripture."

In 30 years, the first blood thoroughly fused.

In 241 years, the remaining eight bloods also fused.

The new Nine Palace Blood emerged within Song Yan's body, feeding back power frantically, continuing to forge his already incredibly tough body, as if it was being reforged in a new way.

Refined steel is forged through a hundred processes, but Song Yan was essentially reforged countless times over.

At the moment when the nine bloods completely fused.

Song Yan let out a long breath, and Cold Smoke Town was instantly met with a gust of wind.

Song Yan glanced at the panel.

[Song Yan]

[Realm: Late stage Of Ancient Crimson Palace]

The realm had not changed, but he felt that his body was stronger than ever before.

Song Yan thought for a moment, feeling that if he faced Zhang Han again, even without relying on Divine Soul Power, he could simply ignore Zhang Han's mental attacks and walk right up to him, lift him from his Profound Heart, and throw him aside effortlessly.

Similarly, if he ascended to the Purple Mansion, then... the attack power of his Purple Mansion thoughts would become terrifyingly potent. He didn't know if it would make him invincible at the same realm, but... it would certainly be among the very top tier.

Suddenly, he felt as if his flesh and blood began a strange squirming, as if entering a state of reorganization.

With a thought, he modified his body, returning it to the true appearance of Song Yan.

Now, body, blood, and Divine Soul all returned to their true form.

He carefully perceived, discovering that this Nine Palace Blood's way of forging the physique was actually much easier than molding the body with pure, powerful magic, yet also weaker.

Nine Palace Blood merely required finding blood externally, while the comprehension needed for powerful magic was terrifyingly immense.

Song Yan couldn't even imagine why ancient cultivators would create such difficult-to-comprehend magic.

Could it be that every ancient cultivator was an extraordinarily gifted super genius?

For cultivators now, such magic is very difficult, but back then, it was considered normal?

But...

How could that be possible?

He suddenly thought: Could it be that someone deliberately created the new Nine Palace Blood technique, reducing its difficulty because of such changes; or perhaps... someone feared the strength of ancient techniques and intentionally crafted new methods?

No one knows!

Song Yan no longer indulged in wild guesses. After finishing all this, feeling his body, he suddenly had a thought. He took out the incomplete "Little Heavenly Dao Texts - Introduction" array pattern from the storage space.

He already had a deep understanding of Array Dao.

An idea he had never considered before now sprouted due to the extreme strength of his body.

What if... he engraved this incomplete "Little Heavenly Dao Text" onto his palm?

Then use his palm as the array plate and his five fingers as array flags, what would happen?

He decided to put it into action...

After a wise attempt, upon confirming the possibility.

Song Yan stretched out his left palm and began engraving with the Array Pattern Pen in his palm.

After many attempts, nine thousand two hundred and thirteen complex array patterns slowly embedded into his palm, and an extremely mystical feeling soared to the top.

Song Yan flexed his left hand, lightly grasping twice, and suddenly infused Profound Qi.

This time, the snowflakes didn't move, but the entire Cold Smoke Town and the surrounding area, with its extremely meager Profound Qi, felt a powerful gravitational force pulling it toward him madly, forming a vortex, gathering around him, transforming the area from "meager Profound Qi" to "normal Profound Qi," but elsewhere, it turned from "meager Profound Qi" to "no Profound Qi."

If his body were slightly weaker, this single absorption would shatter him to pieces.

But Song Yan, having undergone the body forging of "One Step to Heaven" and with the famed-for-strong physique "Nine Bloods of the Dragon Elephant" body forging, his body had reached unimaginable strength.

The same thing would kill others, but not him.

Feeling this power, Song Yan couldn't help but grin, revealing two rows of ghastly white teeth as he laughed.
