It’s likely that Chiyou never imagined his own death would complete Ding Ling.

Not to mention Chiyou.

Even Ding Ling didn’t expect it.

The bookshelf in the library, combined with the Martial Arts Melting Furnace, actually has the function of assimilating others’ memories.

Not only did Ding Ling master the War God Technique,

he also gained a small part of Chiyou’s memory in a mysterious way.

This portion of the memory was fragmented.

The older the time, the blurrier it was.

The closer to the present, the clearer it was.

This also made Ding Ling aware of all of Chiyou’s motives.

The reason he scolded Ding Ling and stirred Ding Ling’s emotions was to seize the opportunity to enter Ding Ling’s heart, but unfortunately, the Vast Righteous Qi was too pure for him to penetrate and he had to seek another way.

That was to immediately strike a deal with Ding Ling.

Only because the closer it was to the ’coffin,’

the more powerful his Soul Division could be by leveraging the power of the ’main soul.’

If he strayed away from the main soul, the Soul Division would grow weaker, making it nearly impossible to achieve his goal of soul possession.

"Possession?!"

Ding Ling’s pupils involuntarily contracted when he saw this fragment of memory.

The technique of Chiyou for possession was actually quite simple.

Simply by forcing his millennia of memories into Ding Ling’s Sea of Consciousness, he would burst Ding Ling’s consciousness body, and then he could perfectly replace Ding Ling and become the master of this body!

Even if it didn’t burst, he could still become the leader with absolute superiority!

"As expected, with malicious intent!"

"Too bad, Chiyou could never imagine that I would have such an otherworldly cheat like the library."

Ding Ling pondered:

"Chiyou’s Soul Division is completely dead, without leaving a trace of thought, so the main soul likely doesn’t know what happened within my vessel?"

Ding Ling had a sense of this, but he wasn’t quite sure; regardless of the outcome, once he became the strongest in this realm, he would definitely return to annihilate Chiyou’s main soul!

"The progress of the Martial Arts Melting Furnace is becoming increasingly apparent."

Ding Ling sensed for a moment.

[Martial Arts Melting Furnace Body Progress: 56%]

It jumped by 5 percentage points.

The acquired Celestial Frost Fist, Tathagata Divine Palm, Demon Scripture, Dragon-Subduing Divine Leg, Hero King Heart Method, War God Technique, Holy Spirit Swordsmanship, and so on were all top-tier techniques!

The War God Technique, Demon Scripture, and Tathagata Divine Palm were Void Shattering Level techniques of extremely high quality!

This resulted in just a small amount of secret manuals pushing up the progress by 5 percentage points.

The facts prove.

Quality is the king’s way!

As long as enough top-tier techniques are obtained, it’s not a problem for the progress of the Martial Arts Melting Furnace to reach a hundred percent.

"It’s a pity that I didn’t obtain all of Chiyou’s techniques."

Ding Ling estimated that if the library had more bookshelves full of secret manuals, and the manifestation level of the Martial Arts Melting Furnace was higher, perhaps he could refine more of Chiyou’s memories.

Obtaining other techniques of Chiyou would naturally not be a problem.

"It seems this bookshelf needs to be filled with secret manuals to cooperate with the Martial Arts Melting Furnace and manifest peerless power. What a pity, this is a passive skill, and I cannot actively use it."

Only those like Chiyou who actively invade Ding Ling’s Sea of Consciousness and attempt to eradicate Ding Ling’s consciousness body could be countered by the passive skill of the library’s bookshelf and the furnace.

"But this passive skill also seems to be unsustainable."

Ding Ling felt that after using this passive skill once, the bookshelf of the library and the body of the Martial Arts Melting Furnace faded considerably.

It shows that this passive skill is not without limits.

"Therefore, it’s better to be cautious and vigilant!"

With this in mind, Ding Ling opened his eyes, and what appeared before him were the large faces of Nie Renwang and Marshal Duann.

The unique male scent rushing towards him caused Ding Ling to halt his breathing instinctively and take a step back.

Nie Renwang and Marshal Duann laughed awkwardly.

Nie Renwang spoke first:

"Young Hero Ding, it’s so strange. You’ve been muttering to yourself all along, not responding to us. We thought you were possessed, so we pulled you down from the sky, thinking of how to treat you, and unexpectedly, you just woke up."

"Yes."

Marshal Duann was equally puzzled:

"Young Hero Ding, with your extraordinary talent and supreme martial arts, the characteristics just now were extremely strange and frightening. No matter how we called, you didn’t wake. We had no choice but to bring you to the ground. However, this wasn’t the most unusual thing. What shocked Brother Nie and me the most was that your aura was constantly changing, becoming deeper, stronger, and more mysterious!

Later on,

there was actually a feeling of terror and horror, as if facing an abyss and the Heavenly Dao!"

When he mentioned this,

he swallowed dryly and looked at Ding Ling nervously:

"Young Hero Ding, what exactly happened to you?!"

[Received an E-level Achievement Medal: You intimidated Marshal Duann,]

[Received an E-level Achievement Medal: You intimidated Nie Renwang]

[Note: Since you silently and effortlessly entered the Dragon Vein Space and mastered the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, both were both amazed and fearful of you. During the recent period, your aura was unpredictable, sometimes the Primordial Spirit gushed in to strengthen yourself, sometimes due to the Demon Scripture and War God Technique Full Level, generating peculiar Demon Qi and War God Qi. All of this left them shocked and incredulous!

They, for a moment, didn’t know if you were the heir of the demon or the inheritor of the god! So there is extreme tension! Trepidation!]

Hearing the prompt,

Ding Ling understood.

He glanced at Marshal Duann and Nie Renwang. These two had been cultivating arduously in this Spiritual Qi abundant Earth Realm for so many years, their cultivation entering the Grandmaster Realm, far surpassing Bu Jingyun.

Although Bu Jingyun had escaped the juvenile stage, he was clearly still in the growth phase. Nie Feng should be the same as Bu Jingyun.

Thinking of this,

Ding Ling said:

"Rest assured. I’m fine. I just had a sudden epiphany."

"Is that so?"

Nie Renwang and Marshal Duann exchanged looks, finding it hard to imagine how someone could suddenly have an epiphany out of nowhere!

Moreover, it was an epiphany of two drastically terrifying energies!

That Demon Qi was so pure and deep that a mere glance seemed to make one lose oneself in it;

That War God Qi was so frightening and fierce it made one shiver just by sensing a bit!

This young lad Ding Ling,

though so young, has realized such energies.

It was terrifying!

With such thoughts, Nie Renwang and Marshal Duann exchanged glances and instantly understood each other.

Both simultaneously bowed respectfully to Ding Ling, solemnly saying:

"Young Hero Ding, your martial arts are supreme, and you are the Xuanyuan Sword Master; now, you’ve shown incredible abilities. We are willing to acknowledge you as master and follow your orders. But on the condition, you must stay in Lingyun Cave, protect the Dragon Vein, and safeguard all living beings! To let the people of Jiuzhou enjoy peace, preventing further descent into chaos.

Otherwise, if the Dragon Vein is lost, the Demon Dao will manifest, and Jiuzhou might sink into turmoil and flames. This is such a cruel and terrifying thing.

We implore Young Hero Ding to have mercy on the people of Jiuzhou. Please don’t refuse anymore."
