"I have now perfected the Six Jia Qimen Divine Ability and recently have been diligently practicing the Circular Light Technique. The intricacy of this spell far exceeds my expectations, especially in tracking and targeting, where it is remarkably effective." Xi Ying said, though she didn't mention whether she had condensed the Dao Seal.

"When do you usually practice the Six Jia Qimen and Circular Light Technique?" Yuan Ming did not continue to inquire further but instead asked.

"Do you want to use the Stealing Heaven Tripod to possess and learn these two divine skills?" Xi Ying raised her eyebrows.

"It's because your talent surpasses mine, Xi Ying, that if I were to study them myself, who knows when I could reach mastery. To catch up with you is even more inconceivable." Yuan Ming smiled.

Listening to Yuan Ming's compliments, Xi Ying snorted lightly and said, "If you want to gain insight from my practice experience, it's possible, but you have to help me get a set of powerful defensive Sixth-level Array from Su Yingxue."

"Need a Sixth-level Defense Array, is there some trouble on your end?" Yuan Ming asked immediately upon hearing this.

"No trouble, with the Sky Eagle Chamber of Commerce as my backing, what danger could there be? Just wish to have another card up my sleeve." Xi Ying said indifferently.

"Alright, I'll find a way." Yuan Ming examined Xi Ying for a moment before replying.

"I usually practice at 9 p.m., and stop after 12:45 a.m." Xi Ying thought for a moment then said.

Yuan Ming memorized this timing carefully, then asked, "How long will you stay in Xuejing Country? What about the matter of Heavenly Fire in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range you mentioned earlier, how is that situation now?"

Although Wulu was in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, he was alone, roaming freely, holding information that paled compared to the Sky Eagle Chamber of Commerce's.

"According to the information gathered by the Sky Eagle Chamber of Commerce, the Heavenly Fire has yet to appear, but the number of people gathering at the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is increasing. How, do you also want to pursue the Heavenly Fire?" Xi Ying asked.

"The Heavenly Fire opportunity is incredibly precious, how could I dare to have such ambitions? I'm merely curious." Yuan Ming shook his head.

"The area of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is vast, finding an opportunity there might take decades or centuries without guarantee. If you're interested in the Heavenly Fire, come over, you'll certainly have time." Xi Ying laughed lightly, obviously not buying Yuan Ming's words.

"Let's discuss it once you handle affairs in Xuejing Country and head to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range." Yuan Ming no longer concealed his intentions, though he hadn't yet hunted the second Level 6 Demon Beast, currently having no plans to leave Dongji Sea.

"You're intending to hunt the second Level 6 Demon Beast in the Abyss? There are more Level 6 Demon Beasts in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, why risk the Abyss?" Xi Ying said.

"The Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is tremendously complex, countless demon beasts, cultivators everywhere. With my current strength, I can't directly contend with Level 6 Demon Beasts there; hunting beasts in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is actually more risky than here in the Abyss." Yuan Ming shook his head.

Hearing this, Xi Ying did not speak further.

"By the way, I've obtained the recipe for the Dharma Manifestation Pill, you'll likely be using it soon." Yuan Ming shared the Dharma Manifestation Pill recipe.

Xi Ying's gaze flickered but she remained silent.

Afterwards, they chatted about some trivial matters, and Yuan Ming's consciousness returned.

After a brief contemplation, he continued guarding the pass for Yun Luo Fairy.

...

Seven days later, in the Demon World, Land of Nothingness, within a tidy cell.

Su Yingxue dressed in white, was seated at the desk, penning down her insights on formations on white paper, when suddenly her vision blurred, and her consciousness uncontrollably sank.

In a blink, her pupils gleamed with a strange light, and her gaze had quietly transformed.

Yuan Ming's consciousness had entered her body, taking control of her physical faculties.

Upon successful possession, Yuan Ming immediately began searching the desk, quickly locating the blue notebook used for communication, buried beneath a thick pile of books.

The request for a Sixth-level Array from Xi Ying might be difficult for others, but for Yuan Ming, it was simple to achieve.

Su Yingxue had previously asked him to investigate the Space Transmission Array of the Nihility Prison, offering in return to assist him in advancing to a Level 6 Array Master, which he planned to accept.

Once advancing to a Level 6 Array Master, designing a Sixth-level Defense Array wouldn't be challenging.

Yuan Ming pulled out the notebook but paused upon hearing heavy footsteps outside the cell, swiftly placing the notebook back.

The footsteps stopped outside the prison, belonging to a burly young man with red hair, one eye, and a fierce, wolf-like demeanor.

Yuan Ming was slightly startled. Though unfamiliar with this man, he couldn't mistake such distinctive features; this was Li Zheng, one of the Six Prison Wardens.

Waiting for a moment and seeing no one speaking, Yuan Ming had no choice but to rise, maintaining a composed demeanor, and looked towards him.

"Is there something you need, Warden Li Zheng?" He asked with calm composure.

Li Zheng scrutinized her for a moment, seemingly probing something.

"Nothing's the matter, continue with your affairs, don't mind me." Li Zheng coldly replied.

After speaking, he didn't leave immediately, instead lingering outside the prison, staring intently.

Yuan Ming, seeing this, returned to the desk and resumed reviewing Su Yingxue's earlier notes, thoughts swirling in his mind.

Considering Li Zheng's position as one of the Six Prison Wardens, he wouldn't come here without reason. Had the Hell Demon Lord detected something?

Time ticked away as Yuan Ming worried that the rare opportunity for possession might be wasted, when finally the footsteps resumed, and Li Zheng left.

Yuan Ming exhaled quietly, promptly retrieving the blue notebook and opening it.

Flipping ahead several pages, Yuan Ming saw multiple messages left by Su Yingxue, all asking about their previous transaction, with increasingly urgent tones, the last even stating that in addition to helping him ascend to Level 6 Array Master, she would grant him another request if he helped her investigate the Space Transmission Array.

Yuan Ming smiled faintly, decisively picked up the pen, and agreed to Su Yingxue's request.

Simultaneously, he brought up Xi Ying's request for a Sixth-level Defense Array.

After finishing, Yuan Ming placed the blue notebook properly in front of Su Yingxue, and immediately, the time for possession ended, and his consciousness returned.

Su Yingxue felt a momentary daze, as if she had a brief lapse while writing, and then she found the brush in her hand had been put down at some unknown time, and the blue notebook that had been pressed under the pile of books had appeared in front of her out of nowhere.

Had that mysterious expert been here?

Her expression first tightened, and she instinctively looked around, then with a mix of surprise and excitement, she opened the notebook.

Flipping back to the place where she had left off, she immediately saw Yuan Ming's message, and joy appeared on her face.

"You want a Sixth-level Defense Array? That's not a difficult task, the Five Elements Formation will do." Su Yingxue mused slightly, pondering to herself.

Regarding whether Yuan Ming could help her obtain the Space Array connecting the Nihility Prison to the outside world, she seemed not worried at all.

Su Yingxue first erased the writing on the notebook, then picked up her brush and wrote:

"The promotion to Level 6 Array Master cannot be achieved through personal effort alone, you need to undergo the Array Dao Inheritance Baptism to pave the way in the path of formations, only then can you break through. Half a year later, I will prepare the Inheritance Array at midnight, and all you need to do then is enter the array with your Divine Soul to receive the baptism." Keep us going by reading on *.

"Additionally, as for the Sixth-level Defense Array you need, wait until you obtain the information on the Transmission Array connecting to the Nihility Prison, and then we can make the exchange."

After writing down, she put the blue notebook back to its original place.

Su Yingxue picked up her brush again and continued writing about the formation insights.

...

Half a month later, Yuan Ming possessed Su Yingxue again, and after receiving her affirmative answer, he began preparing the subsequent work to explore the Nihility Prison.

During this period, Yun Luo Fairy finally finished her seclusion and gracefully walked out of the chamber.

Upon seeing Yun Luo Fairy, Yuan Ming almost didn't recognize her, as the person in front of him had undergone significant changes in appearance and temperament, especially in looks, compared to the Yun Luo Fairy he knew.

The former Yun Luo Fairy was just an ordinary beauty, but now, she could be called stunningly beautiful.

If Yuan Ming hadn't been able to sense her unchanged aura, it would have been hard to believe that the person in front was indeed Yun Luo Fairy.

"What's the matter, can't recognize me?" Yun Luo Fairy arched her eyebrows, smiling as she spoke.

After seeing that Yuan Ming had been guarding for her during her seclusion, she felt quite touched.

"A bit." Yuan Ming nodded.

The Yun Luo Fairy before him was wearing a water-blue gauze dress, exuding an ethereal and transcendent aura, making her appear more noble and elegant than before, yet without a cold and distant vibe, invoking a conflicting feeling in people of wanting to admire from afar yet desiring to approach and observe closely.

Yuan Ming knew that this was the manifestation of her significant advancement in cultivation and perfection of her Cultivation Technique, and with a slight activation of his Divine Thought, he collected his myriad thoughts.

Yun Luo Fairy had been carefully observing his expression changes and found that he quickly stabilized his mind, which made her a bit disappointed.

"It seems that my study of the 'Sutra of the Pure Woman' is still not at home; even after reaching the Dharma manifestation Stage, I still cannot move Fellow Daoist Yuan's heartstrings." Yun Luo Fairy said somewhat resentfully.

"Fellow Daoist Yun Luo underestimates herself too much, I am very curious, is this change on your body an illusion technique, or..." Yuan Ming shifted the topic.

"It's due to the Cultivation Technique of the Su Nu Sect. The deeper one cultivates, the better one's appearance and temperament become; however, the effects can vary when different people cultivate it." Yun Luo Fairy explained.

"I see, congratulations to Fellow Daoist Yun Luo." Yuan Ming realized and said with cupped hands.

"Thanks to the Dharma Manifestation Pill that you refined, which was of excellent quality, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy for me to advance to the Dharma manifestation Stage. Now that my matters are temporarily settled, let us not delay; we should set out to find a Level 6 demon beast and help you refine a Dharma Manifestation Pill as well." Yun Luo Fairy sincerely thanked, then continued.

"This matter isn't urgent for the moment." Yuan Ming hesitated a bit upon hearing this.

What Yuan Ming cared more about currently was the deal with Su Yingxue, and having already verified the efficacy of the Dharma Manifestation Pill, he had also gained a lot of experience from Yun Luo Fairy's advancement, so this matter was not as urgent.

"Is it really not urgent? Do you have something more important than refining a Dharma Manifestation Pill?" Yun Luo Fairy asked with a frown.

"During the time I guarded the path for you, I also had some insights and want to go into seclusion for a while to cultivate." Yuan Ming nodded in acknowledgment.

"If that's the case, then let's set out later, I can also take this time to consolidate my cultivation." Yun Luo Fairy nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

...

Seven days later.

In the inner chamber of the secret room, Yuan Ming, who was in seclusion, lit the Black Incense once more.

In the Nihility Prison, the warden Li Zheng was walking in the corridor when suddenly he felt his eyelids twitch, his eyes quickly dimmed, and uncontrollably leaned against a nearby stone wall.

As his body touched the wall, his lowered head lifted again, his eyes bright with spirit, he immediately looked around.

At this moment, the one controlling this body had already become Yuan Ming.

To investigate the situation of the space Transmission Array in the Nihility Prison, the higher the position of the person possessed, the better.

Yuan Ming had come to the Nihility Prison multiple times, but the Six Prison Wardens usually stayed aloof, and every time he possessed someone, he was busy with important tasks, so up until now, he had only seen this Li Zheng.

After possessing Li Zheng, Yuan Ming didn't delay, immediately controlling Li Zheng's body, heading deeper into the Nihility Prison.

In Su Yingxue's memory, there was a partial structural diagram of this prison, which included the approximate area where the space Transmission Array was located, although it wasn't the exact position.

With Li Zheng's identity, as Yuan Ming expected, he encountered no obstacles along the way and smoothly arrived at the area where the space Transmission Array was located.

As Yuan Ming arrived near, a guard of the Nascent Soul Stage demon clan holding a long spear came up to him, and seeing Li Zheng from afar, he bowed and saluted: "Lord Li Zheng, what brings you here today?"
