Luo Chen destroys the separated consciousness of a Bone Demon. The Demon's main body, an Annihilation King, is alerted. Meanwhile, in the dangerous Returning Ruins, a group of powerful cultivators meditate before the Ancient God Dojo, a place rumored to hold a way out. They have waited for over a hundred years and are growing impatient, especially the one known as 'Corpse,' who has a past connection to the Dojo and a missing rib. Luo Chen examines the rib he acquired, finding it contains a massive amount of Void Bud Crystals and a Demon Cultivation Method, which he believes will benefit his Vacuum Gu.

The sun sets in the west, paving the road with white bones.

On the earth, two figures walk silently.

Their pace is slow, not even using Gang Qi, simply measuring the ground with their feet.

The man with the blue face mutters words, his brow deeply furrowed in contemplation, troubled by some issue.

He desires to inquire, instinctively glancing at the white-robed man beside him.

Only to find.

The white-robed man holding a bone scroll, completely absorbed as if immersed in its contents.

"Forget it, Luo Chen already shared the techniques with me, better to grasp it myself!"

The blue-faced man sinks back into thought, occasionally trying out ideas to verify his thoughts.

Beside him, Luo Chen is fully immersed in the Demon Race Cultivation Method known as the "World Purifying Withered Bone Bodhi Technique."

[Using the bones of all beings as fuel, ignite the karmic fire to forge the immortal

Pass through nine deaths to become withered bones, thus attesting to the deathless Bodhi!]

Unlike the "Demon Face Technique" from the Demon Race.

This Demon Race cultivation method has been evidently refined, incorporating Buddhist concepts.

Even though it fundamentally opposes Buddhist thoughts.

By the divisions of realms within the method, it’s clear there’s no compassion or kindness of the Buddhist sect.

"Peel skin, expose the flesh, draw Earth Fire from the Netherworld to burn away all blood and flesh, leaving only the bones to bear the karma. As the skin and flesh peel away, chant the ’Burial Life Curse,’ using Buddha Power and karma to temper bone patterns."

"Devour marrow, plant the Golden Lotus, open the vertebrae to plant the Resentful Soul Bodhi Seed, infuse resentment energy, a pitch-black Bone Lotus grows in the Marrow Sea..."

"Gather impurities from thousands of bones, withered bones become Bodhi, until the world purifies without beings!"

Luo Chen examines for a long time, finally reading this peculiar cultivation method thoroughly word by word.

After reading, Luo Chen’s feeling was quite subtle.

This is not a Qi Refinement technique, nor purely a Body Refinement method.

It remarkably relates little to the Human Clan or Demon Race identities.

The cultivation of each realm is extremely cruel.

Cruel to all beings, and to oneself!

Yet only in this ultimate agony can karma and Buddha Power be transformed into one’s own great power.

And based on this, carry the faith of all beings, absorbing Incense Fire Divine Power!

Therefore!

This is a method for cultivating the Incense and Candle God Path!

Based on the Bone Demon tribe of the Demon Realm, incorporating Buddhist concepts, crafted for the Incense and Candle God Path law.

Only by cultivating to the "Withered Bone Bodhi" realm can one start absorbing Incense Fire Divine Power.

Thus...

Luo Chen caresses his bosom.

"Is this rib, like jade, an Immortal Bone or Demon Bone, or is it a Bodhi Bone cultivated by a corpse themselves?"

This thought quickly vanishes.

Then, he focuses back on the "World Purifying Withered Bone Bodhi Technique."

Evidently, aside from the Incense and Candle God Path content, other parts have great value for him.

Just as the corpse’s split consciousness mentioned, Luo Chen previously sourced the "Demon Face Technique" which likely stems from a major Demon Realm clan.

According to what Luo Chen knew about the Yuan Mo Sect’s history, it’s likely the Blood Demon tribe.

Because among the three veins of Yuan Mo Sect, the Yuan Mo Vein focuses on Qi Refinement, the Soul Refining Lineage on Soul Refining, only Blood Sea Lineage involves part of Body Refinement.

Since the Blood Demon and Bone Demon both belong to the Demon Race, their corresponding Body Refinement Methods should naturally have commonalities.

"Peel skin, expose flesh, devour marrow, plant the lotus, gather impurities, withered Bone Bodhi..."

Luo Chen quietly recites these names, his mind continuously revolving its specific cultivation methods.

Gradually, a holistic concept emerges.

If talked through Path of Martial Arts Body Refinement, this whole process is about destroying one’s physical body, leaving only the core, appearing to go against the pursuit of body integrity and strength in Martial Arts cultivation.

However, if one integrates the entire process into a single realm?

For example, from Human Immortal Realm to Destruction Realm!

This is also the pursuit of the unity between Gang Qi and the physical body.

A phase of breaking and establishing, of immortality and permanence.

Such a concept actually appears in the "Demon Face Technique."

It speaks of transforming one’s body into a Blood Sea, with countless transformations. The Blood Sea is indestructible, the body long-lived, rebirth from drops of blood, indestructible like dust!

"Withered Bone Bodhi, purifying the world not destroyed."

"Blood Sea eternal life, indestructible like dust."

"If one can merge the two, assisted by my True Spirit Body, combining three forms..."

Luo Chen grows more excited, vaguely glimpsing a Heaven Connecting Avenue in Martial Arts.

If successful, perhaps he can break through the bottleneck, directly entering the Destruction Realm!

"But how exactly should I go about it?"

After the excitement comes the bewildering confusion of endless possibilities.

He turns to consult Yuan Qingzang traveling with him.

And at the same time, the other also looks over in distress, evidently struggling with the three forms combined Luo Chen introduced.

Facing each other, Luo Chen can’t help but chuckle.

Regarding knowledge of Martial Arts, what Yuan Qingzang should share has been mostly shared, now possibly far from himself.

Consulting him would be like playing a lute to a cow.

Or rather, in terms of current Great Destruction Realm, few can guide Luo Chen in Martial Arts concepts.

Especially in the matter of creating one’s own technique.

"Forget it, the path is arduous and long, but walk it and it will arrive. Since I’ve found the direction, I can refine it out, and I have the Attribute Panel in hand."

Luo Chen exhales a turbid Qi, looking into the distance.

"How far to the Sea of Stars?"

Startled by Luo Chen’s voice, Yuan Qingzang pauses for a moment, then naturally answers: "Soon, almost there."

"Is that so..."

Luo Chen mutters to himself, eyes full of anticipation.
