Ye Zhen attempts to force Wang Baimu to submit by threatening to extract his Divine Soul. When Wang Baimu resolves to die rather than be enslaved, Ye Zhen changes tactics. He reveals an astonishing number of Spirit Void Fruits, forcing Wang Baimu to realize he knows two world-shattering secrets and has no choice but to accept Ye Zhen's terms. Wang Baimu agrees to submit in exchange for Spirit Void Fruits and some autonomy, requesting time to consider the final terms.

To be honest, until now, Ye Zhen never thought he could capture a Mid-stage Dao Realm expert alive one day.

Even when capturing this Mid-stage Dao Realm Demon Lord, his Primordial Spirit was separated from his physical body, which was quite rare.

The reason is actually quite simple.

Once a martial artist has forged a Primordial Spirit, seventy percent of their cultivation is concentrated in the Dark Palace centered around the Primordial Spirit.

Originally, upon breaking through to the Dark Palace Realm, the martial artist’s Divine Soul Power would fill every corner of the Dark Palace.

As the martial artist’s Divine Soul Cultivation improves, forging the Primordial Spirit causes it to become one with the Dark Palace.

Under such circumstances, even if the martial artist’s physical body is destroyed, as long as the Primordial Spirit escapes alone, finding a suitable body to possess, they can regain ninety percent of their combat power in no time.

Therefore, those Dao Realm experts with foundation, Mountain Gate, or background, after forging their Primordial Spirit, usually have the top figures in their family or sect apply a Primordial Spirit Protection technique.

This Primordial Spirit Protection technique is generally of little use, but when the Dao Realm martial artist faces life-threatening danger, it can be activated, allowing them to escape thousands of miles away instantly.

The Primordial Spirit of the Blue-scaled Dragon King managed to escape from Ye Zhen and Mountain God Yi Xun using the Primordial Spirit Protection technique back then.

And it’s said that the Primordial Spirit Protection technique in the Blue-scaled Dragon King’s Primordial Spirit was bestowed by a Dragon Clan elder from Four Seas Dragon Court.

Because this Primordial Spirit Protection technique isn’t particularly profound, any family, sect, or force with some foundation will apply the Primordial Spirit Protection technique to their Dao Realm experts.

The most important reason is mainly that the difference between inside and outside the Dao Realm is vast.

Martial artists below the Dao Realm might be quickly trained, but losing one Dao Realm expert is a true loss.

Under these circumstances, the elders or Clan Leader of the Three-eyed Demon Clan would definitely have applied the Primordial Spirit Protection technique to the Primordial Spirit of Jii Yan, captured by Ye Zhen.

But at the time, Jii Yan always believed that Jii Gongyue couldn’t lose, so he had no thought or need to use the Primordial Spirit Protection technique.

However, not only did Jii Gongyue end up more battered than he imagined, but Ye Zhen’s Evil Punishing Divine Thunder was also the nemesis of Jii Yan’s Primordial Spirit.

One strike of the Evil Punishing Divine Thunder left him no chance to use the Primordial Spirit Protection technique.

Then Ye Zhen packed up his still-alive physical body, achieving the rare occurrence of capturing a Mid-stage Dao Realm Demon Lord alive.

To be honest, after recruiting Wang Baimu, Ye Zhen had some extravagant hopes for Jii Yan.

Although Jii Yan was captured alive by Ye Zhen, his combat power was nothing short of impressive.

Single-handedly opposing two Goldback Crocodile Dragons, he could easily kill one; he was unlucky enough to be bitten back before the Goldback Crocodile Dragon died.

And even when his physical body was half destroyed, Jii Yan stalled a Goldback Crocodile Dragon and managed to create a battle chance for Jii Gongyue with his Primordial Spirit Blood Eye.

This power is absolutely formidable.

If Ye Zhen could recruit him like Wang Baimu, he would instantly become Ye Zhen’s top henchman.

However, Ye Zhen, searching through his mind, couldn’t think of any way to subdue this Mid-stage Dao Realm Jii Yan.

With Ye Zhen’s current Four-colored Primordial Spirit, forcibly sealing Jii Yan’s Innate Divine Soul is not impossible.

But the consequences would be too great.

Jii Yan doesn’t need to oppose Ye Zhen; just releasing a little information could cause untold ruin to Ye Zhen.

As for the Spirit Void Fruit, favored by Dao Realm experts, Ye Zhen would be better off not taking it out. If he did, Jii Yan might tear him apart immediately.

"Achou, any good suggestions?" Ye Zhen asked.

The Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou, though foul-mouthed, was exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced.

Achou knew things that even Purple Spirit had never heard of.

"It’s actually quite simple to use this thing, as all the materials are ready. Why are you asking me? Fool, your level of stupidity..." As expected, Achou started with none too kind words.

The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, sharing a similar Divine Sense communication with Ye Zhen, let out a sinister laugh that only Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou understood upon hearing these words.

"Achou, you’ve insulted the master again, adding to my little ledger, hahaha..." The kitten exchanged through Divine Soul.

"Bah! You cat brat, you’ve recorded more than just this, haven’t you? What’s the use..."

The Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou was indifferent, but the kitten suddenly said, "The master has obtained Five Seed Lotus Fruit, Sister Demon should be waking soon..."

Before the kitten finished, the indifferent Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou got tight-skinned. Sister Demon, their big sister in name, wasn’t self-proclaimed.

She was forged from Achou’s hide with a whip.

Achou could be indifferent to everything, but couldn’t help but become helpless before Little Demon, naturally born with Ye Zhen’s aura.

"You dead cat, you gray brat, so bad, you’re the gray brat’s gray brat, daring to con your grandpa." Achou raged.

"Huh, the storage ring on my neck seems to contain a few Shadow Capture Jade Slips the master left for me."

The moment the kitten’s voice sounded, Achou appeared as if someone grabbed his throat, silent, then showed Ye Zhen a fawning smile.

"Lord Ye, my dear lord, you actually know this, just testing me, right! Well, your Demon Soul Generals from the Demon Soul Realm are purely Demon Spirits and have no physical bodies.

Though their combat power seems strong now, once faced with similar-level opponents with comparable equipment, their lack of physical presence would be magnified.

The higher their cultivation, the larger this penalty, limiting their combat power.

However, this Three-eyed Demon Clan corpse is the optimum choice for housing them. Once one of your Demon Soul Generals possesses this body, its combat power would soar.

With this Mid-stage Dao Realm Demon Lord’s body, beneath the Dao Realm, it would be near invincible, offering advantages once breaking into the Dao Realm.

Moreover, you hold this Dao Realm Demon Lord’s Primordial Spirit, and through the War Soul Blood Flag transformation, your Demon General breaking into the Dao Realm will be much smoother..."

The kitten’s recorded ledger instantly silenced Achou, compelling him to reveal everything without reservations.

As he listened, Ye Zhen felt pleasantly surprised.

Before Little Demon went into slumber, these three were lively, arguing and bantering like treasures every day.

Achou’s foul mouth always sparked quarrels, unavoidably leading to Little Demon whipping him excessively.

If reasoning fails, Little Demon resorts to the whip.

The kitten mediates between Little Demon and Achou, seeking help from Little Demon after suffering losses and never siding against Little Demon with Achou.

During leisure, Ye Zhen was often amused by these three’s antics.

However, since Little Demon slumbered, such scenes have been scarce.

Achou’s mouth remains foul, but the kitten speaks much less.

Today’s reappearance brought Ye Zhen a different mood.

It’s time to refine the Five Seed Lotus Fruit, allowing Little Demon to awaken and return to the family.

"Achou, can my Demon Marshal’s Avatar possess the Demon Lord’s body?" Ye Zhen posed the final question.

"No," Achou accurately replied, "Lord Ye, your Demon Marshal’s Avatar, stemming from the War Soul Blood Flag, bears unique inheritance; it cannot possess the Demon Lord’s body."

"I see..." Ye Zhen suddenly chuckled, "Kitten, be ready with your little ledger."

Having said, Ye Zhen sat cross-legged, took out the shimmering Five Seed Lotus Fruit.

As the frantic kitten rejoiced, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou involuntarily shivered!
