Cultivation through Skin Making

As the Clan Leader of the Formless Ancient Race, how could he not be aware of the matters below?

Every disaster's expansion inevitably comes with the silent acquiescence of some significant figure.

Tang Xiaoxuan has known this for a long time.

That's why when Song Yan relayed information last time, he was indifferent.

And now, he remains indifferent.

However, upon hearing that Song Yan was already sitting at the Profound Heart of Gusha Mountain, possibly being the clan's ancestor, he had some new thoughts.

He could ignore a genius's reminder, but he could not ignore a "possible ancestor's" reminder.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes again and transmitted the information to the other side.

...

...

Ancestor Ningxin, Tang Ningxin.

Clad in a clean green robe, her delicate face was calm like a Divine Maiden, her aura like an ancient pool sealed for a hundred years, unaffected by the winds of worldly matters.

At this time, she was sitting cross-legged in the Ancestral Vein Celestial Pool, her hand stirring the water, eyes locked with the Yin Yang Profound Dragon within the pool, seeming to discern the "Divine Oracle" from distant ancestors.

With water and sky merging, human and water converging, she seemed entirely at one with this world, and the world appeared to still with her presence.

She is currently one of the only two Divine Infant ancestors stationed in the Formless Ancient Race, besides the Clan Leader.

Because of her tacit understanding with the Yin Yang Profound Dragon, she will remain in the clan even if all other Divine Infant ancestors depart.

After hearing Tang Xiaoxuan speak about the "Snow Country Sacrificing Demon Infant" and "that youngster's conjecture," Tang Ningxin responded, "He carries the aura of Feng Chengzi."

Tang Xiaoxuan's thought came, "Then it matches. Ancestor Feng Cheng is most skilled in Soul Techniques; his survival, possession, and return are most likely. Memory loss is also normal. He must have had many fortuitous encounters, thus turning misfortune into a blessing, after possessing, his comprehension and talent soaring higher."

Neither of them mentioned the "Faceless Mask."

The "Faceless Mask" is an extremely unique existence, and there are only a few such as the Faceless Mask that can hold Divine Infant thoughts, and it's natural for Feng Chengzi's lineage to be one of them.

In their view, Feng Chengzi most likely tampered with the Faceless Mask of his lineage, then, at a life-and-death juncture, somehow used the connection of bloodline and Divine Soul to escape back into the Faceless Mask, thereby seizing possession of a descendant.

This matter is indeed quite unscrupulous.

Tang Ningxin said, "Whether he is Feng Chengzi doesn't matter; I have divined it, his existence is beneficial for my Formless Race."

Tang Xiaoxuan said, "Once you are free from counteractions, divinate the Demon Infant of Snow Country for me..."

Tang Ningxin said, "This divination is not small and requires more waiting. Moreover, recently the Soul Threshold of the Ice Mirror Wilderness seems to be about to open again; I need to first divine a suitable Treasure Hunter, and then prepare in advance, as this time we cannot miss the opportunity to seize the Evil Treasure."

Tang Xiaoxuan said, "Once you divine it, I will immediately have the suitable Treasure Hunters captured."

With that, he suddenly paused and said, "Before, I had no ideas, but now I suddenly wonder if there's a connection between the sacrificial Demon Infant and the Soul Threshold of Ice Mirror Wilderness?"

Tang Ningxin said, "Don't be anxious, let me divine it first."

Tang Xiaoxuan shifted the topic and said, "If… that youngster is truly Ancestor Feng Cheng, then how should we arrange his Dao companion for the next gathering?"

Tang Ningxin said, "Old ones pair with old ones; if he's Feng Chengzi, then I'll be his Dao companion."

With that, the Divine Maiden in the green robe sighed softly, "With old friends fading away, it's rare to see an old friend return alive; even if fate did not connect us in past lives, in this life... let me guard him, watch over him. It's like guarding the future of my Formless Ancient Race."

Tang Xiaoxuan paused for a moment and said, "That works, we'll see his Realm. If he truly is Ancestor Feng Cheng, and has gained significant fortunes, there should be a conclusion for sitting atop the Profound Heart.

Ancestor Feng Cheng excels in Soul Burst Technique; if he is, then there will surely be something to achieve. Thus, even the Myriad Souls Banner, hidden within our clan, can return to its rightful owner."

...

...

Gusha Mountain, Profound Heart.

This Profound Heart is not the Evil Land Profound Heart, but Song Yan is no longer merely a Ghost Profound Root.

With the Earth Profound Root, he can complete a breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Realm here.

However, he still needs some things.

According to the Formless Ancient Race's rules, if you wish to acquire something from within the clan, you either provide Contribution Points or trade items.

What items does Song Yan have?

However, Princess Xi has plenty.

After learning that the items Song Yan needed included all "White Cave Crystal Jade" comprising the Five Elements, Evil Qi, Divine Soul, and Cause and Effect, she showed a strange expression but still fulfilled the task.

These items are extremely precious, yet the foundation of the Formless Ancient Race is evident here.

What isn't found elsewhere, is found within the Formless Ancient Race.

After arranging this, Song Yan called for Wang Susu, An Li, Yu Xuanwei...

Then, in front of An Li, he drew the Blood Slave Talisman with his hand, marking it on Wang Susu's forehead, and again on Yu Xuanwei's forehead.

Neither Wang Susu nor Yu Xuanwei could retaliate against Song Yan who is at the Late stage Of Crimson Palace despite being at the Pseudo Mansion Realm.

"This is the Blood Slave Ancient Talisman, it can nourish body and soul with my Essence Blood, enhancing cultivation speed, yet life and death are entirely under my control with just a thought. They will know many of my secrets, so I must use this talisman for control."

With that, Song Yan slightly lowered his gaze and whispered, "An Li, the person you know... is no longer."

An Li smiled faintly, her voice warm, "The person Senior Brother knew is also gone."

She stepped forward, lifted her charming face, and said, "Since the Blood Slave Ancient Talisman is so beneficial, I want one too."

Song Yan was stunned for a moment, meditated for a long while with closed eyes, and finally slowly raised his finger, pointing it at An Li's forehead, pointing it at... the once fragile love.
