This Blood Eye Demon Venerable does have a bit of a temper!

Lin Xuankong's eyebrows rose slightly, his gaze sweeping across the other Demon Venerables. He saw that these Demon Venerables, including Duobao Demon Venerable, all wore vicious expressions.

Duobao Demon Venerable snorted coldly, "If a Cultivator cannot cultivate to a High Grade Earth Immortal, they can't achieve Possession and be reborn! Once killed, their Yin Soul can only survive in a daze for forty-nine days before dissipating into the heavens and earth, transforming into Primordial Qi! The eight of us have already been killed by you. Although we don't know what method you used to slightly restore our consciousness, once the forty-nine days are up, our awareness will ultimately dissipate! Sooner or later, our consciousness will dissolve entirely. What could we possibly fear from you?"

Blood Eye Demon Venerable nodded. "Mu Shiba, your strength is indeed formidable, and you possess an Immortal Sword surpassing First Grade. But no matter how strong you are, the worst that can happen is death! Or perhaps you'll perform Soul Extraction and Refining on us, transforming us into Demon Artifacts? By then, our consciousness will be gone, and emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and fear will all be void!"

Lin Xuankong's lips curled into a cold smile. "What if I have a way to prevent your consciousness from dissipating?"

When Lin Xuankong's words reached the Yin Soul consciousness of the Eight Great Demon Venerables, all but the dazed White Bone Demon Venerable showed a change in expression.

Duobao Demon Venerable's expression flickered, and he frowned. "Preserving our Yin Souls from dissipating? Could you even help us reincarnate, achieve Possession? Such methods are beyond even High Grade Earth Immortals. They can only ensure their own Divine Souls are strong enough to reincarnate through Possession after death. What technique could possibly allow Cultivators with weak Divine Souls to reincarnate through Possession? Never mind the Central Divine Dynasty formed by the Immortal Sect Alliance. Not even an Earth Demon in the dominant Profound Yin Demon Sect can achieve this!"

Blood Eye Demon Venerable was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Can you truly guarantee our Yin Souls won't dissipate?"

Lin Xuankong glanced at him. "Weren't you unafraid of death?"

Blood Eye Demon Venerable's face stiffened. "Being unafraid of death doesn't mean I don't wish to survive!"

Lin Xuankong sneered and raised his right hand slightly.

In the next instant, White Bone Demon Venerable's Yin Soul floated up, gradually shrinking before landing on a monkey Lin Xuankong had prepared beforehand.

Duobao Demon Venerable, Blood Eye Demon Venerable, and the other six Demon Venerables couldn't help but stare intently at the little yellow-furred monkey.

After White Bone Demon Venerable's Divine Soul possessed the yellow-furred monkey, its previously lively eyes suddenly became dull and vacant. It moved its monkey legs a few times, walked over to where White Bone Demon Venerable had been playing with a blade of grass, and continued to fiddle with it.

At this moment, the yellow-furred monkey's actions and demeanor were identical to the previously half-witless White Bone Demon Venerable!

Duobao Demon Venerable, Blood Eye Demon Venerable, and the other six Demon Venerables were instantly aghast.

A flicker of panic appeared in Duobao Demon Venerable's eyes as he stared at Lin Xuankong. "You... you actually possess such a method? You... you can actually reincarnate others' Yin Souls at will? Moreover... this reincarnation can even disregard race and strength?"

Lin Xuankong raised his hand and pointed to the side of the valley. The vegetation there was lush and teeming with life; countless small insects and birds inhabited it, and seven condemned prisoners were bound nearby.

"Gentlemen, I'll give you three breaths to consider. If, within these three breaths, anyone is willing to acknowledge me as their foster father and call me such, I will allow that person to reincarnate into one of these condemned prisoners. If you are unwilling, you may freely choose an insect! I am very democratic. Whether you wish to be reincarnated as common insects, ants, or caterpillars, I can fulfill your desires! Of course, that's not all. I will also help you reincarnate into insects and ants each time you die!"

The seven Demon Venerables were instantly frozen in place.

Duobao Demon Venerable's face was filled with horror. What damn freedom is this... to retain consciousness while reincarnated as an ant or an insect? The fear and despair would be unimaginable! Moreover, listening to Mu Shiba, it sounds like one reincarnation isn't the end of it... to be an ant or insect for lifetime after lifetime?

Suddenly, the Seven Great Demon Venerables felt that, as Demon Sect Cultivators, their own viciousness paled in comparison to this ruthless, sinister, and evil man before them.

...

The Seven Great Demon Venerables did not disappoint Lin Xuankong. After three breaths, Lin Xuankong had seven new foster sons. After all, while there might be people in this world unafraid of death, there was absolutely no one unafraid of eternal torment through endless cycles of reincarnation!

As promised, Lin Xuankong reincarnated these seven Demon Venerables into the bodies of the condemned prisoners, forcing them to join the land reclamation work within the Secret Realm.

These Demon Venerables had harmed countless living beings; Lin Xuankong certainly wasn't going to simply obliterate their Divine Souls. For these once high-and-mighty Demon Venerables, who had held power over the lives and deaths of innumerable commoners, becoming laborers supervised by ordinary people—and laborers who, as condemned prisoners, were resented and targeted by the many commoners in the Secret Realm—was a far more painful fate than the simple annihilation of their Divine Souls.

As for whether these Demon Venerables would have a chance to resume their Cultivation? That's impossible! Not only did Lin Xuankong disable the thirtyfold Cultivation bonus from his second Talent for these seven, but he also assigned people to watch them closely.

The path of Cultivation is arduous and fraught with hardship. Merely knowing a Cultivation Technique does not guarantee one can become a peerless expert. Without sufficient innate physical Talent, especially without the support of ample resources, even an extraordinary genius would face the dilemma of 'a clever housewife being unable to cook without rice.'

The Yin Talisman Sect's Aurora Heaven-Brightening Technique and Soul-Extinction Celestial Thunder Divine Decision had been passed down for a thousand years. Despite the Yin Talisman Sect having sufficient resources, only a few individuals had managed to successfully cultivate these two techniques over hundreds, or even thousands, of years. If resources were lacking, forget the Aurora Heaven-Brightening Technique; no one would ever succeed in cultivating even the Divine Thunder Illusion Technique!
