Yuan Ming set aside the Array Formation Manual in his hand and picked up another classic, continuing to read.

He was not lacking in Cultivation Techniques or secret techniques; therefore, he had recently been contemplating the array manuals here, trying to find parallels and enhance his own Array Formation Cultivation, to hasten the refinement of the Stealing Heaven Tripod.

Although the refinement of the Stealing Heaven Tripod's forbidden was steadily progressing, he still felt it was slow.

Due to the time constraints of possession, Yuan Ming only aimed to memorize the contents of the classics first, planning to contemplate them thoroughly after returning, so his reading speed was exceptionally fast, and he soon finished all the borrowed Array Formation Manuals.

There was still some time left in this visit, so Yuan Ming, controlling Huo Mo, picked up a few classics and walked out of the room.

Outside was a corridor, with neatly arranged rooms on both sides, appearing spacious and tidy.

This was the living quarters for the guards; the Land of Nothingness was divided into three layers from bottom to top. The bottom layer was the prisoners' cells, the second layer was the residence of guards like Huo Mo, and the third layer was the dwelling of the Prison Master and the Six Prison Wardens.

Huo Mo advanced quickly and soon arrived at the Book Collection Pavilion, exchanging a few Array Formation Manuals.

"Huo Mo, have you also started studying formations?" a blue-haired, blue-skinned man approached.

"There's nothing much to do lately, just looking into it casually," Yuan Ming, not knowing who the other party was, could only speak vaguely.

"It's rare for you, Huo Mo, to take an interest in the art of formations. Speaking of which, your Huo Fen Clan's Burning Fire Demon Technique derives from the way of formations. If you had realized the importance of formations earlier, you wouldn't be lingering at the Nascent Soul Early Stage even now," the blue-skinned man said with a laugh.

"Studying formations in isolation rarely leads to success. If you have time, you might visit cell 186 in the Kun District. The prisoner there is from the Hui Clan of the Chuyun Realm, and her Array Formation Cultivation is quite good. You could learn a thing or two from her," the blue-skinned man chatted with Huo Mo and mentioned before leaving.

"The Hui Clan from the Chuyun Realm?" Yuan Ming silently noted the term.

From his demeanor and conversation, the blue-skinned man seemed to have a good relationship with Huo Mo and likely meant him no harm.

After some thought, Yuan Ming didn't return to his residence but instead went straight to the prison in the Kun District.

The Nihility Prison was divided into six districts, each managed by a Prison Warden. Huo Mo was a guard in the Qian District, which was right next to the Kun District.

With little time left for possession, Yuan Ming quickened his pace and soon found cell 186.

This cell was quite clean, with stone slabs on the floor and neatly repaired walls. Complete with tables and chairs, the cell even had a crystal chandelier hanging from the roof. Rather than a prison, it looked like a comfortable living room.

A woman in white sat with her back to the cell door, hunched over a desk, writing something.

As Yuan Ming's Divine Sense spread over, even before it reached the woman, she sensed it and turned to look. She was a young woman in her early twenties, plain in appearance but with an exceptional bearing.

Even within the confines of the cell, the young woman maintained a serene and unruffled demeanor.

"I wonder what brings the guard to this place?" The young woman stood up and asked with composed grace.

Yuan Ming didn't answer; instead, he controlled his Divine Sense to envelop the entire cell and quickly saw what the woman was working on. It was a design for a defense magic array, which at first glance appeared extremely complex.

Yuan Ming was secretly shocked, as his expertise in the art of arrays was already considerable, yet he couldn't understand this particular array.

On the adjacent table were laid out a dozen or so books, each detailing a complicated array that seemed to be the woman's own design, with each book bearing a name as the creator.

"Su Yingxue..."

Yuan Ming looked deeply at the woman, not staying any longer, and turned to leave.

Watching Huo Mo's retreating figure, Su Yingxue tilted her head, a hint of curiosity flickering in her eyes.

Just as Huo Mo had returned to his own residence, the time for possession came to an end. Yuan Ming's vision darkened, and his consciousness returned to his main body.

"This trip has been quite fruitful. That Su Yingxue's Array Formation Cultivation seems even higher than Xi Ying's," he spoke to himself with a look of pleasure.

Yuan Ming took a moment for Breathing Control, without putting away the Stealing Heaven Tripod, his gaze firmly fixed upon it.

The Stealing Heaven Tripod hovered there, its spirit light flickering, but deep within, the Desire Power within the White Jade Lotus Platform was only a small distance away from being completely filled.

Strands of Desire Power kept streaming in, pouring into the space of the White Jade Lotus Platform. At this rate, it wouldn't take long to fill it up completely.

Yuan Ming nodded slightly and summoned the Sky-reaching Demon Pillar to break open the space of the Stealing Heaven Tripod.

Two hours later, a small gap was opened in the space of the Stealing Heaven Tripod, and Yuan Ming's Divine Soul took the chance to fly into it.

Shortly after, the inner space of the Stealing Heaven Tripod trembled violently as the Desire Power within the White Jade Lotus Platform was once again replenished. The Bright Soul Fire that was initially spread on top descended and enveloped the Desire Power, refining it into Vow Power Pills.

At the same time, Yuan Ming's main soul took the opportunity to slip into the White Jade Lotus Platform and into the vortex of Desire Power burning with the Bright Soul Fire.

The Bright Soul Fire quickly wrapped around the uninvited main soul and the flames purged all impurities from within the main soul.

As Yuan Ming sensed the changes taking place within his main soul, he was joyful. Meanwhile, he also detached a portion of his mind to quietly witness the formation of the Vow Power Pills.

According to Xia Jie, these Vow Power Pills were of no use to Yuan Ming, but what that person said might not be entirely true. Yuan Ming still wanted to research them himself, to ease his mind.

As Yuan Ming pondered, a Vow Power Pill quietly took shape in front of him, and the Bright Soul Fire completely flew back above the space of the White Jade Lotus Platform.

Yuan Ming did not control his main soul to escape. In this brief moment of effort, the impurities within his Divine Soul had not been completely refined, and he needed to continue undergoing the smelting of the Bright Soul Fire.

Yuan Ming's main soul looked towards the Vow Power Pill, and whether it was because his Divine Soul had been involved in the creation of this pill from the very beginning or not, a seemingly inexplicable connection had formed between him and the pill.

Suddenly, the Vow Power Pill trembled lightly and then actively flew towards the main soul as if it wanted to directly enter it.

However, with a shift in Yuan Ming's thoughts, he easily severed the connection between his main soul and the Vow Power Pill, causing it to stop not far in front of his main soul.

Just as Yuan Ming wanted to take a closer look, the Second Split Soul that had been staying inside the White Jade Lotus Platform suddenly appeared next to the Vow Power Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

In the next instant, the Soul Power of the Second Split Soul greatly increased, and its level quickly climbed up to the standard of the Sleeping Witch.

This sight made Yuan Ming quite astonished.

The recent action of the Second Split Soul was definitely not under his command. Could it be that the soul splitting's autonomous consciousness had awakened?

At the same time, the link between the Second Split Soul and Yuan Ming's main body was completely severed, and Yuan Ming lost all control over it.

Yuan Ming was truly taken aback this time. He urged his main soul to release several soul crows within the White Jade Lotus Platform, forming a Crow Formation aimed at the runaway Second Split Soul.

"Who is causing trouble?" Yuan Ming demanded.

In the moment before he lost connection with the Second Split Soul, he sensed another consciousness taking over the Second Split Soul. Everything happened too swiftly, and by the time he reacted, it was all said and done.

"Oh, has the controller of the Stealing Heaven Tripod changed? Has that old man Xia Jie died already?" The Second Split Soul turned its head to look at Yuan Ming and displayed a face identical to Yuan's, speaking emotionlessly.

"You know of Xia Jie. Who, may I ask, are you?" Yuan Ming asked gravely.

"I am called 'Void,' the Artifact Spirit of the Stealing Heaven Tripod," the Second Split Soul stated word by word.

"Artifact Spirit!" Hearing this response, a shock went through Yuan Ming's heart.

He had previously asked Xia Jie this question and did not receive a clear answer. How long had it been before someone claiming to be the Artifact Spirit appeared?

After the surprise, Yuan Ming quickly regained his composure and his eyes reflected a skeptical look.

The Residual Souls in both Hua Zhi and Vajra had flown out from the Stealing Heaven Tripod. This entity that suddenly took control of his split soul might well be the third Residual Soul.

"Do you truly claim to be the Artifact Spirit of the Stealing Heaven Tripod?" he asked slowly.

"What a bold young man you are, to dare question me. If my soul body were not weak and urgently needing Vow Power for recovery, do you think I would appear before you, a minor Spoken Witch like you?" the Second Split Soul paused, then exclaimed angrily.

"Although my Cultivation is low, I have seen the Artifact Spirits of Spiritual Treasures. If you truly are the Stealing Heaven Tripod Spirit, why not show yourself instead of controlling my split soul?" Yuan Ming asked calmly, unaffected by the other's influence.

"Do you think I wish to do this? A long time ago, I was gravely injured and have since been in deep slumber, only recently recovering slightly," the Second Split Soul snorted coldly.

"Since you claim to be the Artifact Spirit of the Stealing Heaven Tripod, then let it be. But why would you seize my split soul? Could it be you wish to take the Stealing Heaven Tripod from me?" Yuan Ming looked at the Second Split Soul and asked.

"I am only an Artifact Spirit, in charge of operating the numerous Forbiddens and Divine Skills within the Stealing Heaven Tripod. Who the tripod acknowledges as its master is a matter of fate, and it has nothing to do with me. Since it has chosen you, I naturally have no reason to object. You can still use the Stealing Heaven Tripod, but I urgently need Vow Power to heal, so in the future, I will take ninety percent of the Vow Power Pills born inside it," the Second Split Soul shook its head, speaking with an indifferent demeanor.

"You're quite arrogant. Do you think I would agree to giving away ninety percent of the Vow Power Pills with just a word from you?" Yuan Ming laughed coldly in his anger. * is the home of this chapter

"If you have the capability to snatch the Vow Power Pills, feel free to take them all," the Second Split Soul chuckled malevolently. Without waiting for Yuan Ming's response, it vanished right before his eyes.

Yuan Ming was slightly taken aback by this situation. He scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense but could not find any trace of the Second Split Soul.

Nor was there any sign of the Second Split Soul in the space outside the White Jade Lotus Platform.

Seeing this, he had to temporarily put aside the search and flew towards the Bright Soul Fire above to continue refracting the impurities within his soul body.

Yuan Ming's brow furrowed as he recalled the recent events.

The words of the self-proclaimed "Void" Artifact Spirit didn't seem like mere bluster. Given its ability to hide instantly without a trace, could it really be the Stealing Heaven Tripod Artifact Spirit?

If it truly was the Artifact Spirit of the Stealing Heaven Tripod, it would be unwise to offend him. He currently had no use for the Vow Power Pill, so even if he gave ninety percent to the other party, it wouldn't greatly affect him.

But whether it was the Shura Blood Devouring Map, the Evil King Mirror, or the Stealing Heaven Tripod, none of their Artifact Spirits were docile.

Unless he completely stopped using these treasures, he would always be constrained by the Artifact Spirits. Only by fully mastering the treasures could he make the Artifact Spirits obey him obediently.

With this thought, a sense of urgency suddenly rose in Yuan Ming's heart. He wished he could immediately refine all the Forbiddens of the Stealing Heaven Tripod and drag that uncooperative Void out for a good lesson.

But for now, he could only restrain himself.

"No, it's still too early to draw conclusions. Let's see what this 'Void' is capable of when the next Vow Power Pill is formed," Yuan Ming shook his head and stopped speculating.

After giving himself a silent pep talk, he once again immersed himself in cultivation.
