Late at night...

In the bedchamber, Song Yan and two demonesses indulged in a fervent union, like two phoenixes and a dragon chasing each other in the waves, only calming down after a long time.

He casually embraced one demoness, took a short rest, then got off the bed and headed towards the cultivation secret chamber.

At this moment, Tang Fan should be in the bridal chamber, giving birth to offspring amidst debauched ecstasy.

Tang Fan had no choice.

Nor did he.

In times like this, Feng Chengzi was naturally shielded from external permissions.

Song Yan opened the stone door and sat cross-legged in the center stone platform of the cultivation chamber.

It was a stone platform engraved with skulls, situated at a good position of the profound vein here.

Just a while ago, he had spent 580 years of lifespan perfecting the "Canxing Finger" and "Heaven-Shaking Hand," and another 1045 years selecting and cultivating 15 useful magics from previous Crimson Palace Techniques, perfecting them as well.

One must admit, a single branch of the Formless Ancient Race's heritage is far richer than that of the Nanwu Sword Sect or the Puppet Sect.

Among these 15 Crimson Palace Techniques were "Fire Escape," "Gen Earth Escape," "Wood Escape," "Golden Light Escape," "Profound Wind Escape," each specializing in different aspects apart from the Five Elements, as well as the routine "Profound Wind Escape" independent of the Five Elements. This allowed him to escape faster than anyone else regardless of the environment.

As for the remaining eleven techniques, they were scattered, each with its own wonders...

Among them was a special secret technique known as the "Blood Slave Ancient Talisman," which had extraordinary effects.

This "Blood Slave Ancient Talisman" is a special magic created by an ancient cultivator, with the minimum requirement to cast being: Late stage Of Crimson Palace Realm.

This magic uses one's own blood to cast, imprinting it into targets whose realm is lower than their own. With others' cooperation, it can be converted into "blood slaves."

For blood slaves, having this "Blood Slave Ancient Talisman" makes cultivation significantly more effective. The stronger the master's blood, the greater the cultivation results.

However, what they must offer is absolute loyalty, for the master only needs a thought to turn the "blood slave talisman" planted within them into a life-taking talisman, causing it to explode and make them perish instantly.

But for the caster, there is also a slight cost, which is the loss of blood.

Though "Blood Slave Ancient Talisman" doesn't require core essence blood to cast, it cannot be cast with ordinary blood either. If the blood explodes, it impacts the caster slightly. As long as there are only a dozen instances, it's manageable. But if the number grows, it leads to real damage.

Moreover, if the combined power of all the "blood slaves" exceeds that of the master, it can cause a certain backlash; if close to the master, it can cause a strange sense of oppression for the master.

Therefore, the "blood slave talisman" is destined not to enslave targets in large numbers and cannot enslave multiple targets only slightly lower than oneself.

Yet, even so, it remains remarkably effective.

You must understand, items like the "Cold Ice Hell Bracelet" can only control three people, and require a "Hell Floating Life Bracelet" as a medium, whereas the blood slave ancient talisman saves all that trouble for direct control.

If this secret technique is used in combat, it naturally has little effect. But if used to seize control of a local power to root oneself quickly, it's particularly effective.

In the secret chamber...

Song Yan raised his hand to demonstrate.

In the void, magic flowed continuously, eventually fading into nothingness.

...

A month later...

Song Yan sensed signs of life in Xing'Er's womb.

And Feng Chengzi not only sensed the little life but also perceived the unique divine soul fluctuation of the Formless Ancient Race from this small life, which made the Ancient Formless Ancestor ecstatic.

Xing'Er looked anxiously at this ancestor.

She instinctively wanted to further allure the ancestor.

But remembering what the ancestor said to her before, and her foolish husband's attitude during this period, she hesitated, standing obediently for the first time.

In front of Feng Chengzi, Song Yan raised his finger, pointed at Xing'Er's forehead, and a drop of scalding blood seeped from his fingertip, then began to inscribe the "Blood Slave Ancient Talisman" on her forehead.

"Old... Ancestor... did Xing'Er do something wrong?" Xing'Er panicked and asked.

Song Yan said solemnly, "Focus your mind, concentrate on absorbing it, it's beneficial for you."

"Yes..."

Moments later, a blood slave ancient talisman was branded into Xing'Er's forehead.

Song Yan said, "From now on, your cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort, and even breaking through the Crimson Palace Realm will be more promising than others. However, your life is now completely in my hands. With a single thought, even from thousands of miles away, I can kill you."

Seeing Xing'Er's frightened and uneasy look, Song Yan added, "Take good care of the child in your womb, raise it well, and you'll have nothing to worry about."

Xing'Er looked up at the ancestor before her, only to feel an odd connection forming between them, a perception of life and death being controlled by the person in front of her, and she said in horror, "Yes... Ancestor."

Song Yan continued, "Wu Fangtian will also be subjected to this technique, and then you and he will be as if on the same string. If you need anything from him, he won't dare refuse. If anything happens to the child in your womb, he will also die instantly."

Xing'Er repeatedly said "Yes," but then hesitated until Song Yan said "speak," at which point she hesitantly said, "Old... Ancestor, may I ask who my husband really is, and why is this child in my womb so important?"

Song Yan asked, "Didn't Tang Fan tell you?"

Xing'Er said, "He only told me to raise the child quietly and... not to let this child cultivate."
