Although Man Bu She can utilize the Demon Relic, he can only harness a small fraction of its energy, as the one who can truly wield the Demon Relic is the Demon Lord Reincarnation.
However, the Demon Lord Reincarnation also requires some time to fully master the energy within the Demon Relic, which could take at least ten years or as long as twenty years, depending on the Demon Lord Reincarnation's ability to control Spiritual Energy.
Man Bu She has only managed to harness a tiny bit of energy, yet it has already significantly enhanced his cultivation level, demonstrating the vast amount of energy contained within the Demon Relic.
With the Demon Relic in hand, Lingfeng's mission was complete. Man Pillar restored the pool to its original state and then said to Lingfeng and Wan Shitong, "This Demon Relic is something many cultivators and Demon Cultivators desire. However, they all aim to convert its energy into their own, while you seek it for the sake of Cultivation Realm. Now that the Demon Relic is in your possession, you must be extra cautious from now on!"
Lingfeng nodded slightly and replied, "As long as the matter of the Demon Relic remains confidential, I have no worries about my safety. But since you have given me the Demon Relic, how will you explain this to Man Bu She once we leave?"
Although Man Bu She had promised Wan Shitong not to punish Man Pillar, it was well known that Man Bu She was narrow-minded. Who could guarantee that Wan Shitong would be safe from Man Bu She's wrath after they departed?
Man Pillar pondered for a moment and then bitterly smiled, "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it; we can only take it one step at a time!"
While Man Pillar felt this way, Lingfeng was quite concerned about his safety. After thinking for a moment, he took out a Soul-Subduing Pill from Xuanji and said, "You should personally give this pill to Man Bu She. This way, if he harbors any harmful thoughts towards you, you'll be able to foresee them in advance!"
Man Pillar hesitated as he looked at the pill in Lingfeng's hand but did not accept it.
Lingfeng understood that Man Pillar feared it might be poison and smiled reassuringly, "Brother Man, don't worry; this is a Soul-Subduing Pill. It allows you to foresee any harmful intentions from others but poses no harm to the user. You don't need to be concerned!"
Although Lingfeng could be somewhat eccentric, he was capable in dealing with people. Moreover, since Lingfeng and Man Pillar were friends, Man Pillar trusted him enough to take the Soul-Subduing Pill.
Lingfeng added, "Man Bu She is currently asleep; hurry and take this opportunity to give him the pill!"
Man Pillar nodded, and then the three of them headed toward the Golden Palace.
The roof of the Golden Palace had been damaged, with two large holes created during Wan Shitong's duel with Man Bu She. Some disciples took advantage of Man Bu She's slumber to linger inside the Golden Palace and were even amazed by what they saw.
Despite the destruction of the Golden Palace, its grandeur remained difficult to describe.
"Big Brother, can you use magic to repair the Golden Palace?" Lingfeng asked as they entered.
The All-Knowing nodded and said lightly, "What's so difficult about this? I just need to apply a little trick!"
With that, the All-Knowing gathered Spiritual Energy and released all the Mandala Demon Flowers. The Mandrake Flowers, resembling construction workers, began picking up the scattered gold pieces and placing them back in their original positions. Seeing that the gold pieces were in place but still had some broken marks on top, the All-Knowing cast another spell to connect the originally shattered gold pieces together, making it look seamless.
The Golden Palace was repaired. Lingfeng pulled Man Pillar to Man Bu She's bedside and opened Man Bu She's mouth, looking at Man Pillar and saying, "Quickly put the pill inside!"
Man Pillar nodded and then placed the Soul-Subduing Pill into Man Bu She's mouth. As he watched the pill being swallowed, Man Pillar's expression suddenly changed and looked quite unpleasant.
"Brother Man, what's wrong with you?" Lingfeng asked in confusion upon noticing Man Pillar's drastic change in expression.
"I... I can feel his thoughts!" Man Pillar replied.
Since Man Pillar could sense Man Bu She's inner thoughts, it was clear that the Soul-Subduing Pill was already taking effect, and what Man Bu She was thinking must be related to Man Pillar.
"What is he thinking?" The All-Knowing asked curiously.
Although the All-Knowing was powerful and could perform low-level spells like mind reading, he was still very curious about this Soul-Subduing Pill. This was because the Soul-Subduing Pill did not require any spell support and consumed no Spiritual Energy, making it simple and quick to use.
Man Pillar looked at Man Bu She and chuckled bitterly before saying, "He wants to get rid of me even in his dreams!"
As the saying goes, what one thinks about during the day will appear in their dreams at night. Man Bu She hated Man Pillar to the bone; his greatest desire was to eliminate Man Pillar, so it was no surprise that he would have such a dream.
Naturally, Man Pillar did not care; he was just surprised by the effect of the Soul-Subduing Pill.
However, upon hearing Man Pillar's words, the All-Knowing felt unwilling and quickly summoned a Sleep Bug to wake up Man Bu She.
The tiny Sleep Bug wiggled its plump body out of Man Bu She's nose. Then, Man Bu She took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes, only to see three different expressions.
Lingfeng had a mischievous smile, the All-Knowing had raised eyebrows with an evil look as if wanting to eat Man Bu She, while Man Pillar appeared helpless and indifferent.
"You, how did you get here?" Man Bu She, seeing the three of them, seemed to have encountered his rivals and quickly sat up, questioning.
Before anyone else could speak, Wan Shi Tong let out a couple of cold laughs, then rubbed his fists and rolled up his sleeves, grabbing Man Bu She's collar and saying, "Old man, now that Brother Zhu and I have sworn brotherhood, the three of us share deep bonds and childhood memories. If you dare to lay a hand on him, I'll smash your head!"
Man Bu She was taken aback, completely confused by Wan Shi Tong's nonsensical idioms.
Lingfeng and Man Pillar exchanged glances and couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you two laughing at?" Wan Shi Tong put on a serious face, his eyebrows raised, making him look even more ridiculous.
"That big brother, you used the idiom incorrectly!" Lingfeng cleared his throat lightly and covered his mouth.
Wan Shi Tong was momentarily stunned, then after a brief silence, he waved his hand quickly and said, "Doesn't matter, it means the same thing anyway." He then pulled on Man Bu She's collar and asked, "Did you understand what I said?"
Man Bu She had just woken up from a stupor and was still in a daze, so he couldn't immediately adapt to Wan Shi Tong's strange words. However, after a moment of silence, he managed to grasp some meaning from Wan Shi Tong's words.
"You... you two have sworn brotherhood?" Man Bu She looked at Wan Shi Tong incredulously and asked.
Wan Shi Tong raised his head proudly and said, "Yeah, so what?"
Man Bu She was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter. "Hahaha! You, Wan Shi Tong, after being my rival for so many years, have finally become my junior!"
Man Pillar was originally Man Bu She's disciple but had now sworn brotherhood with Wan Shi Tong, thus becoming Man Bu She's junior.
However, Wan Shi Tong didn't care about such superficial hierarchy; he was only concerned about Man Pillar's safety. He said, "I don't care about any rank; I just want to tell you that Man Pillar is my brother now. If anyone dares to bully him in the future, they'll be going against me, Wan Shi Tong!"
Wan Shi Tong's actions seemed like those of a rogue, but his somewhat comical demeanor made it hard not to chuckle.
Man Bu She understood Wan Shi Tong's character; although he loved to joke around, he was extremely loyal and preferred associating with capable young people. Therefore, Man Bu She didn't dare to compliment Wan Shi Tong's words. Moreover, having previously been defeated by Wan Shi Tong, he had developed a sense of fear towards him. Thus, he could only nod in agreement.
Wanshitong smiled with satisfaction, turned around, and patted Man Pillar on the shoulder, saying, "Brother, if this guy dares to do anything to you, just come find me." With that, Wanshitong reached out and conjured a pure gold Mandala Demon Flower. Although it was made of pure gold, the softness of the Mandala Demon Flower was surprisingly indistinguishable from a real one.
"This is my invention over the years for Long-Distance Communication. If anything unexpected happens, just smash this demon flower, and a swarm of Sleep Bugs will appear inside to save your life. No matter how far away I am, I will sense your call and immediately ride my Flying Sword to you!"
Man Pillar took the golden demon flower and nodded gratefully.
Man Bu She felt quite displeased and glared at Man Pillar with resentment, thinking, "I don't care about your Long-Distance Communication; once that old guy leaves, I will eliminate you immediately!"
However, he never expected that as soon as this thought crossed his mind, Man Pillar reacted. Man Pillar looked at Man Bu She in shock and hurriedly said to Wanshitong, "Big Brother, I heard the Sect Master's thoughts!"
"What?" Wanshitong exploded like a bomb, instantly furious. He grabbed Man Bu She's collar and shouted, "Kid, I spared your life out of kindness; do you really think so little of me, Wanshitong?"
Man Bu She was lifted off the ground and remained clueless about how Man Pillar could know his inner thoughts. He continued to protest, "I-I-I wouldn't dare!"
"Wouldn't dare?" Wanshitong sneered twice, leaning close to Man Bu She's face and speaking in a low voice, "I've already placed a Spell within you. As long as you have any harmful thoughts towards my brother, he will be able to sense it immediately. You better watch yourself!"
Man Bu She was stunned for a moment, searching through all his memories. He had hardly heard of any formation like Wanshitong's aside from mind-reading techniques. He wondered if this guy had learned some new ability.
"What are you doing just standing there in a daze? Why aren't you speaking?" Wanshitong shook Man Bu She vigorously like an unruly cat, causing him to see stars.
"I will naturally listen to you; just spare me!" Wanshitong's strength was immense, and this shaking truly overwhelmed Man Bu She, prompting him to plead for mercy.
