He tried with all his might to suppress Silvan, but it was already too late.
Silvan’s soul condensed into a beam of light outside his body and violently struck Edmund’s soul.
Edmund let out a miserable, bloodcurdling scream, to his horror, his soul was actually being devoured by Silvan.
Cultivation and memories flooded into Silvan’s body like a raging torrent, his soul constantly grew stronger.
During this process, Silvan seemed to undergo a long and agonizing struggle, he felt Edmund’s soul frantically struggling within him, attempting to seize back control.
However, relying on his powerful willpower and deep attachment to his family, Silvan ultimately devoured Edmund’s soul completely.
After the devouring was complete, his strength skyrocketed instantly, he felt his connection with heaven and earth grow tighter, as if he could manipulate the surrounding spiritual energy at will.
He opened his eyes, an unprecedented radiance shone within them.
He was now very strong.
Without hesitation, he set the place on fire and burned it to the ground, then he rushed toward his home at top speed.
Bruce, having felt Silvan’s emotions and experienced everything alongside him, sighed at the unpredictability of the world, he hadn’t expected that the person who supposedly saved Silvan would turn out to be the greatest demon, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, deceiving the innocent.
Fortunately, Silvan unlocked his potential and successfully counter-killed the other party.
This made Bruce somewhat envious, when would he be able to unlock his own potential and shock his master?
Forget it, there was no point in thinking about useless things, as long as Silvan’s sister could be cured, it was fine.
Adam was still on the side, quietly observing, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Did the boy think everything would just end like this?
It wouldn’t be that simple.
This was the brightest starlight within the Starlight Crystal, things absolutely wouldn’t be this simple.
Returning home.
His parents had grown even older, but seeing Silvan return so strong, a rare look of joy appeared on their faces.
Silvan saw his sister Serene still lying in bed, face pale as paper, for the past few months, she had been in a coma almost the entire time.
His heart ached, he immediately stepped forward and held his sister’s hand.
He felt the feeble life force struggling inside her body, he knew his sister’s body was waiting for him, waiting for his return, that was why she remained in a coma, preserving her life.
Silvan knew he couldn’t wait any longer.
Taking a deep breath, he mobilized his spiritual energy, closing his eyes and forming hand seals, he began executing the secret technique Edmund had imparted.
A powerful energy surged from his body and enveloped Serene’s form.
After several hours of treatment, Serene’s complexion gradually regained a rosy hue, her large eyes, which had once lost their luster, twinkled with light once more.
She looked at her brother, her eyes were full of gratitude and joy.
"Brother... Pfft..."
But the very next second, Serene spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted.
The smiles on Silvan and his parents’ faces froze instantly, what was going on? Wasn’t she already cured?
"Serene, Serene!" Silvan was frantic and began infusing spiritual energy into her body.
This time he discovered that Serene’s life force was continuously draining away, as if being sucked out by something.
Something wasn’t right.
He began a comprehensive examination of his sister’s body.
"Wait, what is this?"
After checking over and over, he finally found the problem.
Deep within his sister’s dantian, there was a small black formation, it was ceaselessly absorbing her life force.
Damn it.
Silvan cursed angrily, why would there be a formation inside his sister’s body?
He had to destroy it, but the formation was located at her dantian, a single moment of carelessness could irreparably injure her.
Seeing this, Bruce’s mind was filled with bewilderment, what kind of situation was this?
Silvan’s family were just ordinary villagers, why would someone plant a formation in the dantian of an ordinary village girl?
...
A young girl from an ordinary village should never have come into contact with the cultivation world, so why would such a formation be planted in her dantian?
It simply didn’t make sense.
Bruce was brimming with confusion.
Although the Mysterious Yellow Great World boasted countless cultivators, outside of large-scale wars, there was almost zero intersection between cultivators and mortal commoners, there was practically no benefit to it, and one could easily become entangled in mortal karma.
Even evil cultivators, unless necessitated by their specific techniques, rarely slaughtered ordinary mortals, after all, orthodox disciples were eagerly watching, just waiting to score merit points, Evil cultivators needed time to develop safely too.
There appeared to be nothing extraordinary about this girl, so who was persecuting a simple village girl? 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Although Bruce had only just stepped onto the cultivation path, this was common sense, back in his seaside village, only the oldest grandfather had ever spoken to a cultivator, the rest could only watch as immortals flew high above, not a single one had ever descended.
Silvan was just as bewildered, to his knowledge, his sister had never seen a cultivator, more importantly, she was incredibly kind-hearted, even if she had encountered an immortal, she would never have offended one.
The cultivator who planted this formation absolutely had an ulterior motive.
Realizing he lacked the ability to safely remove it, Silvan looked anxiously at his parents.
"Dad, Mom, my sister’s condition is quite severe, there seems to be a formation in her dantian draining her life force," he said grimly, his voice thick with tension.
His parents’ faces drained of color.
His mother asked with a trembling voice, "Silvan, how could this be? Serene has never left the village, how could she get involved in something like this?"
Silvan shook his head, "I don’t know either, but I have to find a way to save her."
His father took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, he looked at Silvan, "Do whatever you must, we will support you."
Silvan nodded, resolve flashing through his eyes, he turned back to his sister, his gaze filled with determination, he knew he had to find a solution immediately, otherwise, her life would be in imminent peril.
"Dad, Mom, please step outside, I am going to try transferring this formation into my own body," Silvan said.
Although worried, his parents knew the situation was critical and could only nod, they quietly backed out of the room, giving Silvan the space he needed.
