The two months under the Sealed Dragon Well passed quickly.

During these two months, Lin Bai was healing the whole time.

On this day, Lin Bai opened his eyes and saw the darkness surrounding the bottom of the Sealed Dragon Well. He spoke softly, "The injury this time is surprisingly severe, I don't even know how long I've been healing."

"The five-month period agreed upon with Master Fang, I wonder how much time is left."

Lin Bai pondered for a moment and then picked up the Dragon Blood Crystal Stone from the side.

"Three Dragon Blood Crystal Stones... If I'd known, I should've put in more effort to collect a few more Dragon Blood Crystal Stones."

"Originally, I planned to return for more treasures from the dragon corpse once my cultivation improved, but I didn't expect the remnants of the Giant God's will and the Dragon Clan's will both to awaken and enter the void... Even Dragon Blood Mountain has disappeared."

Lin Bai shook his head somewhat helplessly and said.

"However, I still have three Dragon Blood Crystal Stones on hand. I wonder if they can improve my cultivation."

Lin Bai took another look at the three Dragon Blood Crystal Stones in his hand.

"Devouring Sword Spirit!"

Lin Bai mentally commanded, and the power of the Devouring Sword Spirit began to spread, starting to absorb the Dragon Blood Crystal Stones in Lin Bai's hand through his palm.

In the blink of an eye, the Qi Blood Power within the Dragon Blood Crystal Stones was gradually devoured by the Sword Soul, and the stones in his hand turned into flying ash, disappearing from Lin Bai's grasp.

One Dragon Blood Crystal Stone refined.

"Great Perfection of the Yangshen Realm!"

"Refining just one Dragon Blood Crystal Stone, and it was the smallest one, has brought me to the peak of the Yangshen Realm."

"There are still two left, which should allow me to break through to the Life-and-Death Realm!"

Lin Bai took a deep breath, feeling somewhat excited in his heart.

No more words, Lin Bai continued to channel the power of the Devouring Sword Spirit, gradually refining the Qi Blood Power within the Dragon Blood Crystal Stones into his body.

Second Dragon Blood Crystal Stone refined!

Followed by the third Dragon Blood Crystal Stone!

After Lin Bai refined all the Dragon Blood Crystal Stones in his hand, a long-lost wave of power began to appear within Lin Bai's body.

Lin Bai knew it was time for a breakthrough!

Half a day later, a series of crackling sounds emerged from within Lin Bai's body, and he suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of wild joy appearing on his face, excitedly saying, "I've broken through! First Level of the Life-and-Death Realm!"

After refining three Dragon Blood Crystal Stones, Lin Bai's cultivation finally broke through to the First Level of the Life-and-Death Realm.

"Indeed, using Demon Blood for cultivation is much faster than obtaining Spiritual Energy Crystals by slaying monsters here." Lin Bai smiled as he spoke.

Subsequently, Lin Bai spent an additional five days stabilizing his cultivation.

Injury healed, cultivation breakthrough, Lin Bai could now calm his mind and think about other issues.

"Master's Stone Sword…"

In Lin Bai's mind, the first thought was of that Stone Sword!

At the time, when Lin Bai heard the sound of the Stone Sword and felt the aura from the sword, he knew it was Ling Tianzi's sword!

Lin Bai felt somewhat guilty and said, "The war between the Sky-swallowing Clan and the Giant God Clan, I really don't want to get Master involved."

"But, this time, I was at death's door, and Master still did everything to help me out of the crisis."

"If the Stone Sword had not arrived in time, not only would I likely have died today, but everyone connected to me would have perished."

Lin Bai said somberly.

"But Master's Stone Sword was nearly shattered by the remnants of the Giant God's will, swept into spatial turbulence, and its whereabouts are unknown!"

Lin Bai said desolately.

"No matter where this Stone Sword is, no matter whose hands it falls into, as long as my cultivation is adequate, even if it's in the Nine Netherworld Hell, I will retrieve it!"

"Not for anything else, just because it's my Master's sword!"

"It is Ling Tianzi's sword!"

Lin Bai stated with resolute determination.

In Lin Bai's heart, at this moment, he had decisively made up his mind that as long as his cultivation was sufficient, he would retrieve this Stone Sword, regardless of the hardships he had to endure.

Because this was Ling Tianzi's sword, his Master's sword.

This sword was forged by Ling Tianzi to save him, even if it was broken, it cannot be left discarded outside; it must be retrieved.

"Additionally, the dragon corpse's words are also worth contemplating!"

"He said, the Taoist Heart Demon Seed would distort my humanity, turning me into an unyielding slaughter demon… and before attaining the Dao, it's the only chance to sever the Demonic Seed!"

"Before attaining the Dao, sever the Demonic Seed!"

Lin Bai pondered and said, "Master also told me similar words in the past."

"Master said that although the Taoist Heart Demon Seed could grant me great power, it ultimately does more harm than good."

"It was only because back then, I faced my great enemy, Lin Zi'er, and urgently needed strength, so I didn't follow Master's arrangement!"

"Master said this back then, and now this dragon corpse says the same... Could it be that 'Taoist Seed of Demons' truly cannot be cultivated any further?"

Lin Bai squinted his eyes slightly, speaking softly.

At this moment, Lin Bai began to recall in his mind, one by one, the events that happened after obtaining the Taoist Heart Demon Seed.

"Indeed, after acquiring the Taoist Seed of Demons, I have become too fond of slaughter!"

"And my mood swings are erratic!"

Lin Bai's pupils narrowed, shaking his head slightly, he said: "I've even mentioned this to Xiaoxiao, she also advised me that if my strength allowed, I should also cut out the tumor in my body!"

"Evidently, my Demonic Seed has now become a tumor!"

"Before attaining the Dao, if not severed, after attaining the Dao, I'll inevitably be controlled by the Demonic Seed, turning into a monster that only knows slaughter!"

Lin Bai said expressionlessly.

"But the Taoist Heart Demon Seed has accompanied me for many years, resolving numerous dangers for me, helping me a lot, and I'm reluctant to abandon it just like that." Lin Bai said softly.

"Then find a way to see if the drawbacks of the Taoist Heart Demon Seed can be resolved before attaining the Dao!"

"Or perhaps, there are other ways!"

Lin Bai said softly.

"Additionally, the Ancient Divine Scripture..."

When Lin Bai thought of this, he reached to touch the center of his eyebrows, where originally a Divine Crystal should have been.

"The Divine Crystal was shattered, and the years of cultivation of the Ancient Divine Scripture have been destroyed!"

Lin Bai felt some reluctance in his heart, just like the Taoist Heart Demon Seed, the Ancient Divine Scripture had helped Lin Bai overcome numerous crises during his weaker moments.

Now that the cultivation of the Ancient Divine Scripture is destroyed, Lin Bai still feels great reluctance.

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "Now that the cultivation of the Ancient Divine Scripture is destroyed, wanting to recover it is impossible! Moreover, the remnant will within the severed arm not only shattered the Divine Crystal, destroying my cultivation, but also severed my body's meridians, making my physical body unsuitable for cultivating the Ancient Divine Scripture now."

"Even if I try to forcefully cultivate the Ancient Divine Scripture now, the progress would likely be very slow!"

"Back then, in the Creation Divine Palace, when my true self remained, it took two or three years of sleepless and relentless cultivation to achieve the current level of the Ancient Divine Scripture!"

"With my physical body now, trying to cultivate the Ancient Divine Scripture might not yield results!"

"Even if I manage to cultivate it, the time required would likely be three times what it was before!"

"Previously, it took my true self two or three years to give the Ancient Divine Scripture its current power, and now requiring three times that, wouldn't it take nine years to recover to its current state..."

"This time, it's too long!"

Lin Bai shook his head and said.
