The Little Dragon paused for a moment in the deep water. Its bean-like black eyes finally dimmed, and its body slowly coiled up and stiffened. Finally, it turned into a large lustrous round pearl. The round pearl spun in the water, and large clouds of icy white mist mixed with scorching heat were emitted at a uniform speed.

In just a short moment, the round bead expanded by another inch, and a majestic demonic aura poured out from it. Ye Yu suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled, and the round bead suddenly burst out with a halo of light, and shot back into his mouth, disappearing without a trace.

When the round bead merged with Ye Yu, the aura on his body suddenly rose. Dark red scales flashed on his neck, and the terrifying wounds on his back were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, the healing speed was getting slower and slower. In the end, more than half of the wounds were still turning outwards, turning pale white from being soaked in the icy water. His face was still ashen.

Ye Cheng took out a storage bag and took out a spiritual herb with long and narrow roots. It was the Bone Growing Grass.

Without any hesitation, Ye Yu pried open Li Jinzhi's teeth and used his spirit energy to grind the Bone Growing Grass into a liquid. The green liquid was wrapped in spirit energy and sent into Li Jinzhi's mouth. After Ye Yu finished doing all this, he lowered his hand in exhaustion. His figure swayed and became somewhat blurry.

Ye Cheng's expression suddenly changed. He quickly stuffed the storage bag into Li Jinzhi's lapel and leaned over to whisper in his ear, "I've always been here."

A look of longing flashed in his eyes, and then his figure became blurry again. The tall man gradually shrank his bones, making a strange crisp sound. In the end, he became exactly the same as the little dragon just now. However, this little dragon's back was full of scars, and more than half of its scales had fallen off.

The Little Dragon shook the scales on its body and scratched the water ripples with its little claws. It looked at Li Jinzhi with its bean-like eyes, and a look of confusion flashed across its face. It tilted its head and yawned, slowly crawling into Li Jinzhi's sleeve.

Li Jinzhi's body floated in the water, drifting further and further away along the undercurrent under the ice. The icy water also turned from dark blue to pitch-black. No one knew how deep the undercurrent was under the ice.

Suddenly, his body, which was originally like a rag, trembled violently. Bursts of spiritual energy swayed from his dantian, and the broken meridians and bones gradually healed under the effect of the Bone Growing Grass. If Li Jinzhi was still awake, he would find that the Icebound Formula he practiced was operating on its own at this time.

In the beginning, the Spiritual Qi would circulate according to the routine of the Cultivation Method, but after the nine by nine cycle, the Spiritual Qi's circulation path would suddenly change, and it would circulate in the complete opposite direction, going against the flow of the meridians and going straight up!

The Spirit Qi became thicker and thicker as it circulated in circles. It spun faster and faster, and finally formed a small whirlpool in the pitch-black water.

Suddenly, a strong dark red light burst out from Jingzhi's neck. The phoenix-shaped jade pendant hanging on his neck melted quickly. The dark red thick liquid quickly penetrated his skin before it was washed away by the water, leaving a light pink mark on the delicate skin of his collarbone.

As the phoenix-shaped jade pendant melted and penetrated, Li Jinzhi's fingers moved, and his whole body unconsciously convulsed. Every bone in his body made a strange and terrifying cracking sound, and then they quickly merged and recombined. In this cycle, his body actually grew taller and taller in this strange change.

After Li Jinzhi's consciousness fell into darkness, he could not wake up even though he had the ability to think. Originally, he thought self-deprecatingly that according to his nature, he should find a door and then open it, only to find that he had returned to the original world.

But he never thought that he would be in so much pain on the premise that he could not wake up.

The sudden pain was different from the feeling of being hit by Moksha's fist. Moksha's attack covered a large area. Although it was very painful, he could endure it.

However, the pain he experienced now was like someone holding a small awl, crushing his bones inch by inch and gluing them back together bit by bit.

There seemed to be two mutually repulsive forces in his body. One force was destroying, and the other was repairing.

When it was destroyed, it was extremely painful, and when it was repaired, it was extremely itchy.

The process was very unbearable. Li Jinzhi even suspected that he had been caught by Moksha again and was being sacrificed into a banner.

After these two forces went back and forth for a few rounds, Li Jinzhi found that something forcibly occupied his consciousness. The pain suddenly disappeared, and the dark space seemed to be ignited by flames. The three words "Ice Phoenix Spell" appeared in mid-air, flowing with brilliant colors.

Before Li Jinzhi could react, the three words exploded with a loud bang. In the midst of the flames, the fine flames rearranged themselves one after another. Lines of small characters were neatly written, and there was a faint sound of a phoenix crying out.

Li Jinzhi read carefully word by word. He found that this "Ice Phoenix Spell" was actually a hidden scroll of the "Ice Phoenix Spell", and the preface of the "Ice Phoenix Spell" actually directly indicated that this was a demonic cultivation technique.

Demonic cultivation?!

Li Jinzhi was stunned. He had heard of demonic cultivation before, but what the hell was this "demonic cultivation"?

Could it be that demonic cultivation and demonic cultivation were the same?

That was not right. Although he had the Ice Phoenix bloodline, he was still a human. Even if his bloodline awakened, he could at most inherit a part of the race's superpowers.

The original male protagonist also awakened the Ice Phoenix bloodline after entering the Yuanying stage, and obtained some superficial bloodline superpowers.

As for the "Ice Phoenix Spell" that was only suitable for the Qi Refining stage, he had stopped practicing it long ago after entering the Foundation Establishment stage.

So now, there was a "Ice Phoenix Spell" that was meant for demonic cultivation. Was the author playing with him?

Li Jinzhi composed himself and read word by word. The more he read, the more stunned he became.

The "Ice Phoenix Spell" was only suitable for Qi Refining stage cultivators who had awakened the Ice Phoenix bloodline and entered the Dao through the "Ice Phoenix Spell". Once they entered the Foundation Establishment stage, or changed their cultivation halfway through, they could no longer practice this spell even if they had the bloodline.

Li Jinzhi was stunned for no other reason than that this setting did not exist in the original novel!

If the author used this as a foreshadowing, then why did the original protagonist change his cultivation technique and reach the stage of Yuanying?

Could it be that he did not transmigrate through the novel?

Impossible, the setting of human life was the same, it could not be so coincidental.

On second thought, perhaps the "Ice Phoenix Spell" was only a passing thought in the author's mind and he did not use it in the end, but the setting of this world recorded his flash of inspiration.

However, it seemed that he had not even awakened his bloodline. Even if he obtained the "Ice Phoenix Spell", he would still be in the Qi Condensation stage, so what use would it be?

And the setting seemed to be that he had to wait until the Yuanying stage to awaken his bloodline.

It seemed to be a dead end. Was the author playing with him?

Although Li Jinzhi knew that there was not much possibility for him to practice this spell, he still patiently read on. His face gradually revealed a look of realization. It turned out that this "Ice Phoenix Spell" allowed a human cultivator with the bloodline to enter the demonic path. The advancement method was also very different from that of ordinary demonic cultivation and immortal cultivation.

The biggest difference between humans and demons was that only fourth-level demonic beasts could develop spiritual wisdom, while seventh-level demonic cultivators could transform. Transforming demonic cultivators were tyrannical, but there were very few of them. Once they transformed, they would have a broad path.

However, the idea in the "Ice Phoenix Spell" was completely opposite from that of demonic cultivation. It was to cultivate the human body and demon body, completely opposite. The first level was to forge the muscles and refine the bones, the second level was to temper the mind, the third level was to transform the spiritual energy, the fourth level was to sacrifice the demon core, the fifth level was to transform the demon body, and the sixth level was to transcend the tribulation and ascend.

They were the Bone Forging Stage, Heart Cultivation Stage, Essence Transformation Stage, Core Sacrifice Stage, Transformation Stage, and Tribulation Stage.

It seemed very simple and was similar to other cultivation methods, but the last sentence was that this spell was against the heavens and against reason, and it was very difficult to go against the Dao.

Li Jinzhi looked up blankly and could not help but sigh. After being immersed in the end for so many years, if he still did not know that this spell was an opportunity, then it would be a waste of the thousands of years he had read.

If his bloodline awakened, so what if he went against the Dao? So what if he went against the heavens and against reason?

In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, it was a place where you had to work harder than others to survive.

Thinking of everything he had experienced earlier, Li Jinzhi suppressed the bitterness in his heart, but he saw the flames in the air suddenly gathered together, and there was another explosion.

This time, the content changed to a specific cultivation method. The "Ice Phoenix Spell" was a general outline, and it was divided into three volumes. The first volume was the Bone Forging and Core Sacrifice Technique, the second volume was the Concealing Spirit and Guarding Heart Technique, and the third volume was the Nirvana Three Revolutions Technique.

In the first volume, one had to collect the different forms of extreme yin ice seeds in the world, supplemented by sacrificing the blood, refining the body, refining the bones, and condensing the demon core. In the second volume, one had to comprehend and experience the various states of the human world, comprehend the state of mind of demonic cultivation, and finally find the balance between human and demon to break through.

The first two volumes could be cultivated at the same time, but the third volume of the Nirvana Three Revolutions Technique needed the first two volumes to pave the way. One had to go through the Nirvana Tribulation, break it, and rebuild it.

The cultivation method was mysterious, but Li Jinzhi only read it once, and these things were naturally imprinted in his mind. Even the cultivation method operation diagram that was not in the book appeared in the depths of his sea of consciousness.

But what made him feel strange was that there was no specific description of the Ice Phoenix's innate magical power and the form it should take. There was only a vague introduction. The Ice Phoenix was a branch of the Divine Bird Phoenix, and it had the magical power to control space. If it was a male cultivator, it would be a phoenix, and if it was a female cultivator, it would be a phoenix.

If one wanted to inherit the Divine Bird's orthodox lineage, one had to swallow the Ice Dragon's demon core and inherit the extreme yang ice seed.

"So, it meant that if he wanted to inherit the orthodox lineage, he had to swallow the Ice Dragon's bloodline, which was the demon core of the villain Ye Cheng?

But this setting …

Didn't it appear in the ending that was tampered with by the author's girlfriend?

Could it be that this setting had really been destroyed?

Now that he had received this information, did that mean that the villain Ye Cheng also knew about it?

Junior Brother, you'd better not think about taking revenge. The outside world has already spread that the person from the Li Family's Castle possesses the Ice Phoenix's bloodline. The demon cultivator had slaughtered his entire family in order to find a thin bloodline. Junior Brother, you'd better not get involved.

Before he left, Qing Mu's words appeared in his mind again. Li Jinzhi suddenly realized that this demon cultivator must be the villain Ye Cheng!

Moreover, the villain Ye Cheng's cultivation was at least at the early stage of the Golden Elixir, and it was very likely that he had already awakened his bloodline!

The development of the plot was too sudden. Li Jinzhi silently swallowed a mouthful of blood. At this point, he was completely sure that the plot had been tampered with by Master Kogami's girlfriend. Even if the plot had not been tampered with, the setting had definitely been tampered with. Otherwise, he would not have met the villain Ye Cheng so early and become natural enemies due to their bloodlines.

The kind that could only be sublimated if you die.

And now, his weakness was obvious. His bloodline was about to be exposed, and his cultivation level was low.

His entire family had been slaughtered, but he did not discover the Ice Phoenix's bloodline. Ye Cheng's next step would probably be to find the scattered members of the Li Family who were outside. The three brothers of the main family and his good brother had already surrendered themselves, so he might be the only one left.

If the plot was developing in this direction, then the female lead, Ye Dieer, had either been replaced or was about to be replaced.

However, if the female lead had nothing to do with him, then why would the villain, Ye Cheng, spend so much effort to pretend to be a useless person?

If he wanted to make a move, he should have chosen someone close to him.

And the person closest to him was Ye Cheng.

Li Jinzhi shook his head. If Ye Cheng had been replaced by someone else, he would have been the first to discover it. His Ye Cheng would not harm him.

No!

The most important question now was not the villain Ye Cheng, nor was it the direction of the plot. It should be how long he had been unconscious and how Ye Cheng was doing!

What was with the pain just now?!
