  Today's four updates are here, brothers and sisters can recommend them with a wave of their hands, thank you. If you have any opinions on this book, please leave a message in the book review, I will reply.

  "Stop it, kid." Yao Xuan's voice echoed in Yue Cheng's mind once again. After three days of soul confrontation, Yao Xuan was already very weak.

  "Unless you leave my body, I won't stop." Yue Cheng replied. Yue Cheng's current situation was not much better than You Xuan's, equally weak, but as long as You Xuan didn't leave his body, Yue Cheng wouldn't feel at ease, with a time bomb inside him that could explode at any moment.

  "Kid, if you don't stop, we'll both die." You Xuan said weakly. Given their current situation, it was a stalemate that would not be broken until the very end, and when their souls were completely exhausted, they would undoubtedly perish together.

  "I'd rather die than let you go." Yue Cheng had long been aware of the consequences, but he would rather die than let Yao Xuan get away with it.

  "Stop it, kid! I'm not interested in your body at all. Listen to me first, or we'll both be dead for sure." Yao Xuan didn't expect Yue Cheng to prefer dying together rather than stopping, but she couldn't die, she still had many things to do.

  "Alright, speak up quickly." To be honest, Yue Cheng didn't want to die either, and was even more afraid of death. Having cultivated for a thousand years, he couldn't just die unjustly like this. Yue Cheng controlled his soul force, slowly retreating half a step back, preparing to attack at any moment.

  Jian Yue Cheng stopped, and Yao Xuan also let out a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that his judgment was wrong, and Jian Yue Cheng's soul power was actually so strong.

  "I am not one of you humans, my true form is an eight-winged spirit python." Yaowen said weakly: "I went to the Ghost Abyss Forest on business, but ran into that person who had been chasing and killing me a few days ago. He was a sixth-grade alchemist, and after discovering I was an eight-winged spirit python, he actually set up a trap with someone else and injured my soul."

  "So why did you enter my body?" Yue Cheng already knew that Yao Xuan was not human, but when he heard that Yao Xuan was the true form of an Eight-Winged Spirit Python, he was still greatly shocked. The Eight-Winged Spirit Pythons were extremely rare, but their innate abilities were incredibly powerful, making them a formidable alien species that ordinary humans did not dare to provoke. Generally speaking, newly born Eight-Winged Spirit Pythons already possessed the cultivation strength of a Dou Shi, and when they evolved into two-winged form, their strength would reach the level of a Dou Ling. A four-winged Eight-Winged Spirit Python would already possess the strength of a Ten-Star Dou Wang to Dou Huang.

  "At that time, you also saw it, if I didn't use the soul-swapping technique, I would absolutely not be able to escape." You Xuan replied, if it wasn't for this, she wouldn't have abandoned her physical body either, which was extremely harmful to herself.

  "So you're prepared to sacrifice me." Yue Cheng said solemnly, a soul without a physical body would eventually die.

  "You're wrong, I'm not interested in your physical body. Once I successfully evolve into a six-winged spirit python, I'll have my own body again, which is also our innate gift. So, I just want to stay inside you for a while."

  "What makes you think I believe you." Yue Cheng said, if the other party takes advantage of their own carelessness and suddenly seizes them again, they will be finished.

  "Believe it or not, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, we can die together. My true form is an eight-winged spirit python. What use would your body be to me? It would only hinder my own cultivation and strength. This time, I was injured too severely and had to abandon my physical body. It's already very difficult for me to evolve. How about we make a deal?" said Yao Xuan.

  "What a transaction." Yue Cheng thought of Yao Xuan's words, and he couldn't help but think that if they continued to fight, it would indeed be a situation where both sides would perish together.

  "This time, it may take me two years to successfully evolve. I don't know why your soul is so strong, but I feel that your cultivation strength is quite ordinary. You are an alchemist, and within the next two years, refine a 5th-grade Dan medicine for me, the Ding Xing Dan. During these two years, if you're in danger, I'll lend a hand to save you. Although I'm just a soul, generally, even a Dou Wang wouldn't be my opponent." You Xuan said faintly.

  "Don't you think it's unfair? If I die, you'll be finished too. So when I'm in danger, you should have helped me out." said Yue Cheng.

  "What do you want to do then?" You Xuan said, not expecting that Yue Cheng would be so clever. She was now hiding in Yue Cheng's body, and if anything happened to him, she really had no choice but to take action, otherwise she would also lose her hiding place and soon disappear into thin air.

  "I'll refine a Formed Dan for you within two years, and in return, you must take a demonic oath to never again pay attention to my physical body. Moreover, after your successful evolution, you must unconditionally stay by my side and protect me for one year. If you don't agree, we'll die together."

  "Alright, I promise you." Yu Xuan hesitated for a moment before saying so. She had never been interested in Yue Cheng's body to begin with, and even if she waited until after evolving into a six-winged being to protect him for another year, the time wouldn't be long anyway. The key was the Stabilizing Pill; without it, she would have a hard time smoothly evolving into a six-winged being.

  As soon as the demon oath was issued by Yao Xuan to Yue Cheng, Yue Cheng also let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly began to cultivate his breath. His current soul power was extremely weak, and he knew that there were definitely many demons in the surrounding mountains, so it was better to recover his soul power first.

  Yao Xian saw that Yue Cheng was no longer attacking her, and slowly retreated to the side, starting to cultivate. To evolve into a six-winged being would take at least two years, during which she had to hide in Yue Cheng's body. If the evolution failed, she would have lost her physical form and would undoubtedly die.

  One day later, Yue Cheng slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air from his throat and slowly opened his eyes. Two strands of essence light lingered in his eye sockets for a long time. After the three-day confrontation with Yao Xuan's soul, Yue Cheng found that his cultivation had actually made some progress.

  "Where is this place?" Yue Cheng stood up and looked around, everywhere was towering trees, he seemed to be on a hillside.

  Originally, I was going to Shuangzi Sea, but unexpectedly, something happened on the way. Yue Cheng was also depressed and didn't know how far away Shuangzi Sea was from here. He could only plan to stay in this mountain range for a few more days, maybe those people who were chasing and killing Ya Xuan were still searching for him nearby, and if they found him, he would be in trouble.
