For what Han Li gave, Zi Ling did not refuse this time, taking the jade slip and probing it briefly, her pretty face changed.

Although her cultivation was not high, she had stayed in the Black River Water Palace and Puppet City, so her knowledge was naturally extraordinary.

The cultivation methods on these jade slips were extremely precious. Any one of them, if circulated, would be a treasure that countless people would fight for tooth and nail.

"You have cultivated the 'Puppet Heart' of Puppet City to a rather high level, but when it comes to tempering divine consciousness, looking at all the great realms, no cultivation method can compare to the 'Refining Divine Art'. If you can cultivate it successfully, it will definitely be of great help to your puppet control skills. However, this cultivation method also has its drawbacks, which I have recorded in the jade slip. How you choose is up to you. Don't relax on the cultivation of the *Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill*. After leaving the Accumulation Scale Void Realm, you still need to compete based on cultivation level. First, open up the Mysterious Apertures, then it will be much easier to impact the Immortal Apertures." Wang Yu carefully instructed.

"I understand." Zi Ling nodded, carefully storing the jade slips close to her body.

"As for those two cultivation methods, they were both obtained from a Great Luo of the Demon Race. Although you can't cultivate them now, they are quite compatible with your physique, so you can keep them for later. As for the first two cultivation methods, you can cultivate them now, especially since the Accumulation Scale Void Realm has a rich concentration of Stellar Energy, which is an excellent environment for cultivating the *Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill*. You can stay here with me to protect Fellow Daoist Crab, and I can guide you a little." Wang Yu added.

"No, I plan to return to City Lord Sha's side first. My puppet control skills have not yet reached a profound level, and I need her continued guidance to improve. Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted. I will properly arrange the cultivation methods you gave me. Besides, I will take good care of myself, so you don't need to worry." Zi Ling looked away and said faintly.

"Then you should also keep this. This is what I snatched from someone in your Puppet City before. It's quite powerful, and besides, I'm giving it to you, so even if Sha Xin knows, she wouldn't dare say anything. Keep it for self-defense." Wang Yu then took out a golden sphere and handed it to Zi Ling, which was the Golden Winged Owl Puppet.

"Golden Winged Owl!" Zi Ling's beautiful eyes moved when she saw the golden sphere, but she did not refuse, and took the golden sphere and put it away.

"You gave me so many things, and I have nothing to repay you with, so I'll give you a small gift in return." After a moment of pondering, she took out an object and handed it over.

Wang Yu took the object, which was a piece of green jade pendant, as crystal clear as water, and looked like it was made of extraordinary material.

However, this jade pendant was not complete, and it seemed to be only half of it, and the broken part was uneven, as if it had been broken off by someone.

A cluster of light and shadow appeared in the center of the jade pendant, vaguely showing a figure.

"Zi Ling, this..." Wang Yu's expression changed slightly, and he looked up at Zi Ling.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. I will handle it myself. I'm just telling you about it today." Zi Ling said faintly, her voice soft but full of determination.

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and walked outside.

Wang Yu took a step forward, as if he wanted to reach out and stop her, but he stopped after all, looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and sighed.

Zi Ling quickly left the underground space and came outside.

Outside the entrance, a group of people was standing there, including Sha Xin, Madam Six Flowers, and others. Zhuo Ge, Hei Da, and Hei Er also came here and surrounded Sha Xin.

"City Lord." Zi Ling came to Sha Xin's side and bowed.

"Zi Ling, why did you come out? How is the master doing inside?" Sha Xin looked surprised and hurriedly got up to help Zi Ling.

"That senior is still recovering. I talked with Li Daoyou and then came out." Zi Ling said calmly.

"Zi Ling, I sealed your soul before, although it was for Puppet City, but it was indeed a bit inconsiderate. I hope you don't mind." Sha Xin nodded slowly, took Zi Ling's hand, and said apologetically.

"City Lord, please don't say that. I understand everything." Zi Ling said.

"What are your plans for the future?" Sha Xin heard this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then asked.

"I am willing to continue to follow the City Lord." Zi Ling said firmly.

……

Inside the underground cave, after Zi Ling left, a vortex suddenly appeared on the blood lake.

The blood-colored crystal slab then sank downwards, and Wang Yu was sucked into it along with it, sinking to the bottom of the lake.

Under the blood lake, a magic formation light flashed.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Yu and Crab Fellow Daoist appeared in a rather large crystal hall.

The four walls of the hall were transparent and flawless, showing a faint crystal red color, and were covered with various runes, which looked like a large crystal coffin.

The blood-colored crystal slab carrying the Crab Fellow Daoist's sacred skeleton was just embedded in a half-person-high stone platform on the ground, with the patterns connected to each other, looking like a whole.

On the ground of the crystal hall, there were also three circles of ring-shaped trenches, which were also engraved with complex runes.

The whole hall looked like a huge stellar magic formation.

Wang Yu glanced over and his brows could not help but twitch slightly. He suddenly found that Er Kui's corpse was lying in a ring-shaped trench not far away.

"Wang Daoyou, although I have now merged with this skeleton, it is far from being resurrected. Now I need to rest here to achieve true resurrection. As I said before, I still need you to protect it for some time." The sacred skeleton on the blood-colored crystal slab suddenly said.

"Why me, not Sha Xin? Isn't she your subordinate? She seems to have been very loyal to you over the years and has always wanted to resurrect you." Wang Yu frowned and asked.

"Er Kui was also my confidant subordinate back then, and he was ordered to protect this place for me, but what happened... Didn't he collude with the Demon Lord and almost destroy this Accumulation Scale Void Realm? Now I am more willing to believe in you alone, Wang Daoyou." Crab Fellow Daoist shook his head and said.

"I have one thing I don't understand. What is the relationship between you and the Demon Lord? Why did he want to harm you?" Wang Yu asked again.

"This... is a long story. I'll tell you in detail after I've completely recovered. There are two side halls on the left and right of this Fallen Star Crystal Palace. One is where I used to study Xuan cultivation and puppet techniques, and the books and materials sealed there are still preserved and have not been affected. You can read them freely. The other is where I used to cultivate daily, and you can also retreat in it." Crab Fellow Daoist hesitated slightly and continued.

Wang Yu then stopped asking and nodded in agreement.

After a while, a circular magic formation above the crystal palace lit up with a starlight first, and then, like a prairie fire, instantly ignited the entire magic formation.

The walls and ground of the crystal palace shone with starlight at the same time, as if a vast galaxy appeared, and a majestic stellar force gathered from all directions.

All the patterns on the blood-colored crystal slab and the stone platform below lit up, and a layer of hazy light immediately gathered from them, turning into a layer of blood-colored barrier, covering the Crab Fellow Daoist's sacred skeleton.

At the same time, the sound of rushing water rang out in the trenches on the ground of the crystal palace.

Streams of blood lake water containing pure Qi and blood power poured in from somewhere, overflowing the three ring-shaped trenches and gathering towards the blood-colored stone platform in the center.

Wang Yu could clearly feel that the majestic power in the blood water was gradually merging into that body.

Just then, a strange noise came from "bang".

When Wang Yu shifted his gaze, he found that Er Kui's body in the outer trench had suddenly burst open, and pieces of flesh and bones were taken by a strange force and stuck to the crystal wall of the trench.

Under the constant scouring of the blood water, his flesh began to melt rapidly, and even his bones melted little by little. All the power on the remains was transformed into pure Qi and blood power and integrated into the entire great formation.

At this moment, Wang Yu suddenly felt a violent tremor in his heart, and his face became extremely flushed.

His expression changed slightly, and he silently circulated the Stellar Energy in his body, turned around, and walked towards the side hall on the right.

Wang Yu passed through a crystal stone door and entered the side hall, and immediately sat down cross-legged.

At this moment, the blood in his body was running wildly in the blood vessels, all the blood seemed to be boiling, and the skin on his body seemed to be burning. Layers of hot pink heat were constantly evaporating from the pores.

Including the true spirit bloodline power of the Mountain Giant Ape, Thunder Roc, True Dragon, etc., all began to riot in his body, and there was a faint tendency to be unable to suppress them and burst out of his body.

Wang Yu immediately operated the *Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill* and mobilized the Stellar Energy of his whole body in an attempt to suppress it.

As a result, it was better not to operate it. Once it was operated, the true spirit bloodline immediately seemed to be injected with a strengthening elixir, and became even more violent, causing Wang Yu's bones to make bursts of cracking sounds.

"What's going on?" Wang Yu was speechless and extremely surprised.

After a little thought, he remembered that when he was fighting with Er Kui before, it was when he operated the *Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill* that the true spirit bloodline was greatly strengthened, which shows that there is indeed a promoting effect between the two.

It's just that the true spirit bloodline is now backfiring, and such stimulation will naturally be counterproductive.

Wang Yu was shocked and quickly stopped the operation of the cultivation method, only using his mind to move the Stellar Energy in his body, distributing it to all parts of his body to help soothe the turbulent Qi and blood in his body.

After two full hours, the turbulent and rebellious true spirit bloodline in Wang Yu's body gradually subsided. Wang Yu slowly opened his eyes and let out a long sigh, but his face still had some flush from the receding Qi and blood.

"I didn't expect the true spirit bloodline to backfire at this time. It will be really troublesome in the future..." Wang Yu sighed.

After saying that, he stood up and looked around.

In the center of this hall, there were rows of white jade bookshelves, each about ten feet high, a total of eight rows, gathered towards the center of the hall in a radial posture, densely packed with various books.

In the center of the hall, there was a crystal exquisite pagoda, no more than ten feet high, with a total of eight corners and nine floors, surrounded by spiritual light, and looked extremely beautiful.
