Wen Yu and Tang Haofei's conversation did not affect the nearby Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine.
At this moment, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine was more focused than ever.
The power of the Soul Nurturing Pill melded into the depths of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, bringing warmth and comfort, while simultaneously strengthening its soul power.
The enhancement of the soul was not as obvious as that of the body—at least, at this moment, the increase in the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine's soul power went completely unnoticed by Tang Haofei and even Wen Yu beside it.
Wen Yu asked, "Have you taken it?"
"I've already taken it."
"What should we do next?"
"Just leave it to me, you just need to wait."
...
The power of the Soul Nurturing Pill slowly melted into the innermost part of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine's soul.
The gentle and comforting power gradually diffused and was rapidly absorbed by the soul within the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine.
Until a certain moment, sensing that its soul power was sufficient, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine began to stretch its branches slowly, and a strange, concealed mental fluctuation instantaneously radiated, directly penetrating to a higher level of the Heavenly Palace.
Inside its body, as the power of the Soul Nurturing Pill was gradually absorbed, another more mysterious force surged forth from within the Soul Nurturing Pill at almost the same time.
Sensing this power, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine let out an indescribable sigh deep in its heart.
Once the most supreme treasure of the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor, the Soul Orb was shattered by the sovereign in the final battle, with its fragments scattered throughout the Heavenly Palace.
The main part remained in a higher level of the Heavenly Palace, but many fragments were utilized by the former Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor to create three Soul Nurturing Pills and various conditions to activate that "backup plan."
With the powers of the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor and the demon lord, this "trap" was set up, and it is no exaggeration to say that the current Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine had countless ways to "bring Wen Yu back on the right path"!
And at this moment, this method could be considered the fastest and most efficient—using the Soul Orb fragments inside the Soul Nurturing Pill as a lure to draw upon the residual power of the Soul Orb, while the remnants of the Soul Orb absorbed by Wudaozi's trio left for Wen Yu to change its own aura fluctuations, then...
Thinking of this, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine immediately stopped its contemplation.
Because the main part of the Soul Orb fragments from above had clearly transmitted back the feedback fluctuations.
The true purpose and plan of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine to lure Wen Yu into the Heavenly Palace Treasure Land finally revealed a corner of the iceberg.
...
In the Eleventh Layer of the Heavenly Palace, within the tomb of the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor.
An old man, no, a youth? No, it would be more appropriate to describe him as the demon lord's avatar.
At this moment, the demon lord was quietly sitting in the secret chamber left by the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor, until at a certain moment, sensing the surging soul aura from below, the demon lord suddenly opened his eyes!
Within his incredibly powerful perception, that secret mental fluctuation was nearly undetectable to the demon lord.
Watching that familiar soul fluctuation as if it were returning home, twisting through the complex tomb, and then turning into an unknown space, the demon lord's lips rarely curved into a smile.
"The arrangements of Heaven-Piercing have been completed, next, it’s time to see my performance..."
The voice, almost like to himself, emerged from the demon lord's mouth, and then, he gently waved his hands.
Complex and secretive runes continuously emanated from the demon lord's hands, quickly connecting the various arrangements within the secret chamber—mastering some unique power systems of the Xianxia world was truly simple for the demon lord.
