Lou Lan's heart was filled with envy the moment he witnessed the successful refinement of the Nine Desires Celestial Bloom.
He sighed inwardly, Li Chengfeng is indeed a cultivation genius. Although his talent isn't top-notch, his keen perception of cultivation techniques and his cautious attitude are admirable.
Lou Lan began to realize that Li Chengfeng not only possessed formidable strength but also great wisdom and strategy. Such a person, once matured, would become an invincible existence.
Lou Lan recalled his previous thoughts about Li Chengfeng and felt they were extremely naive.
He had originally intended to use Li Chengfeng and employ schemes, even wanting to kill him, but now it seemed like such thoughts were akin to striking a stone with an egg.
Li Chengfeng's strength and wisdom far surpassed his, and he also had many life-saving methods. Such a person was extremely difficult to deal with.
Lou Lan began to change his mind. He no longer thought about retaliating against Li Chengfeng but instead wanted to curry favor with him, hoping to gain freedom.
He began to realize that being an enemy of Li Chengfeng was a very dangerous thing, while being his friend might bring more benefits.
In the following six months, Li Chengfeng remained in the spatial dimension cultivating. Occasionally, when he went out to purchase supplies, he would send a substitute puppet disguised as someone else and quickly return.
Li Chengfeng acted cautiously, always avoiding direct conflict with the Blood Clan and other forces.
Although his substitute puppet was subjected to many blockades and inspections, because Li Chengfeng himself did not walk in the world, he was able to return safely each time.
Lou Lan, seeing Li Chengfeng's caution, no longer tried to provoke him.
He knew that nothing he said could change Li Chengfeng's decisions and actions. He began to get used to Li Chengfeng's caution and calmness, and he also began to admire his wisdom and courage.
Finally, Li Chengfeng began to cultivate the Divine Sense Eye. This was an extremely difficult and dangerous cultivation, requiring extremely high talent and perseverance.
But Li Chengfeng had made full preparations. He prepared various materials and, after a long period of cultivation and preparation, finally completed the construction of all the materials needed to cultivate the Divine Sense Eye.
Lou Lan watched Li Chengfeng begin to cultivate the Divine Sense Eye, his heart filled with both joy and worry.
He was happy that if Li Chengfeng could successfully cultivate the Divine Sense Eye, his strength would become even greater; but he was also worried that Li Chengfeng would discover his secrets during the cultivation process, in which case his soul would face great danger.
However, he believed that Li Chengfeng was a smart and cautious person who would not easily trust others, nor would he allow himself to fall into danger.
During the cultivation process, Li Chengfeng gradually felt his divine sense becoming as solid as substance.
He carefully suspended that blurred eye in the air, merging it with his divine sense.
This process was extremely dangerous, because a person's soul and divine sense are the most fragile, and carelessness could lead to cultivation failure or even death.
But Li Chengfeng's soul was exceptionally strong, and coupled with his previous cultivation of the Soul Severing Art, his divine sense was incomparably firm.
After more than a month of arduous cultivation, the eye finally materialized from illusion, becoming a forbidden existence, imprinted in his divine sense and entering his brow, suspended within his sea of consciousness.
The sea of consciousness slowly enveloped and nourished this eye, making it more complete.
The moment Li Chengfeng's Divine Sense Eye was successfully cultivated, with a thought, a deep and terrifying abyss appeared between his eyebrows, as if a real eye had suddenly opened.
Although he was within the spatial dimension, this eye could see things hundreds of miles away with perfect clarity.
Even more miraculously, as long as he inputted mana and divine sense, he could magnify the field of vision tens of thousands of times. Whether it was combat, cultivation, or observation, it would advance to a higher level.
Li Chengfeng looked at this newly cultivated Divine Sense Eye, overjoyed, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. He knew that this eye would be a great help to him in the future.
At this time, Lou Lan cautiously approached, seizing the opportunity to say, "Fellow Daoist Li, congratulations on completing the cultivation of the Divine Sense Eye.
You promised me that you would return my freedom and give me a body for me to possess and be reborn.
Fellow Daoist Li, you can't go back on your word. You made a Heart Demon Oath."
Li Chengfeng looked at Lou Lan with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "Lou Lan, do you want to leave here and gain freedom so much?"
Lou Lan chuckled dryly and said, "Of course, being by Fellow Daoist's side is a daily torment. I'm afraid that one day I'll anger Fellow Daoist and be killed."
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "You're overthinking it. I'm not the kind of person who enjoys killing.
I'm quite lonely being alone in this spatial dimension. It's not bad to have you by my side to chat and joke with.
But since you insist on leaving, I will keep my promise after all, I made a Heart Demon Oath."
When Lou Lan heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for returning my freedom!"
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "I didn't promise to return your freedom. I only said I would give you a body to successfully possess."
Lou Lan was overjoyed and quickly said, "That's good, that's good. Fellow Daoist Li, ahead is a large market. Let's go there and choose a cultivator or loose cultivator with strong cultivation aptitude as the vessel for my possession."
Li Chengfeng was unmoved, smiled slightly, and said, "Why take that risk?
Not only is your true body looking for you outside, but people from other sects are also watching you covetously.
I'm not willing to take risks. But don't worry, I have a suggestion."
He then waved his hand, and a substitute puppet walked over and stood in front of Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng pointed to the substitute puppet and said, "This substitute puppet was a failed refinement from my past. There is no divine sense of mine driving it, and it is a pity to discard it.
Why don't you possess it? If you possess it, you will have a body, wouldn't that be better?"
When Lou Lan heard this, he cursed Li Chengfeng for being shameless and scheming against him again.
He knew that this substitute puppet belonged to Li Chengfeng. If he possessed such a body and went out, even if he wasn't captured by his true body, he would be caught by other demon sects, severely tortured, and even die without a burial place.
Lou Lan became more cautious and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, let's talk about it later."
Li Chengfeng nodded and said, "You said that yourself. You don't want to, I didn't force you. In this way, it can be considered that I have fulfilled my promise, but you broke the agreement first."
Lou Lan gritted his teeth and thought, "Anyway, I can possess infinitely. It doesn't matter if I possess this puppet and come back.
At least I have a body, I have feeling, and I can be free in this closed space."
So he flashed into the substitute puppet.
Sure enough, this puppet was very good. After possessing it, Lou Lan immediately controlled the body as easily as using his own limbs.
But he soon discovered the drawbacks. Although this puppet had the strength of the late stage of Qi Refining, it could not cultivate and advance on its own, and it was already destined to be formed.
That is to say, it could not improve with Li Chengfeng's strength like Blood Shadow, or improve through its own cultivation. It was only a one-time product.
