’The Profound Heart enduring hardship never leaves, the Divine Soul first merges with heaven and earth...’
’This Profound Heart, in the vast land of the Three Kingdoms, there is only one!
Only in this place can the Profound Root be refined to reach the Purple Mansion.
If it’s an ordinary Profound Heart, that’s fine, but if you encounter the Ghost Profound Heart of the Three Kingdoms, you have to first transform yourself into a Ghost Profound Root to break through here.’
’The position of this Profound Heart is extremely precious, perhaps it’s only comparable to the legendary Celestial Profound Root; any other attempt at continuous enhancement requires a century of steadfast cultivating at the Profound Root.
Truly it’s a case of one radish per hole; in the land of the Three Kingdoms, nurturing a second Purple Mansion Realm is simply impossible.’
’In addition, judging from Zhang Han’s tone, simply sitting at the Profound Heart could greatly enhance one’s power in the Purple Mansion Realm, which is why he confidently sits by and lets me be here, not fearing I might escape at all.’
For a moment, Song Yan felt truly helpless.
During the Third Layer of Refining Profound, he didn’t have Skin-Stripping Ointment, which was still alright. After all, Skin-Stripping Ointment isn’t considered rare among higher-level cultivators; even the Puppet Sect can exchange for it, and some underground markets can trade for it.
However, this "Profound Heart" of the Purple Mansion Realm is countless times more elusive than Skin-Stripping Ointment.
Because there is only one Profound Heart.
Only by sitting at the Profound Heart can one surpass the limit of the Crimson Palace to a certain extent, attaining a "Body of Heaven and Earth," thereby "borrowing the heavens and earth to nourish my divine," and thus nurturing a powerful Divine Soul.
For Song Yan to defeat a Purple Mansion Realm expert, he must first find an unoccupied Profound Heart to sit and cultivate on, to break through.
But to sit on the Profound Heart, he must first pull down the Purple Mansion already sitting there.
Isn’t this just an endless cycle?
What should he do?
Song Yan suddenly recalled what Grandma Hong and General Gu had said about the "situation of the Purple Mansion Patriarchs of the Fox and Wolf Races." Grandma Hong said she hadn’t even seen the patriarch, and General Gu said there is only one patriarch holding the fort, not knowing where the others are.
At this moment, Song Yan completely understood the reason.
One radish per hole; if the patriarchs can’t hold their own hole, they have to go outside to find one.
And because the Profound Heart is extremely precious, all existing Purple Mansion Realm have a mutual understanding, which is: never reveal the method of breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm, never let anyone know about the existence of the Profound Heart.
Thinking of this, Song Yan entered the paper house and sat cross-legged.
He could feel a surveillance.
It was the surveillance from Zhang Han.
Unrestrained, unconcealed!
Yet when he tried to trace it with his Divine Sense, he couldn’t find where Zhang Han was at all.
This way, the two of them spent seven days and nights.
Song Yan sat, doing nothing.
Zhang Han watched him, not turning his gaze for one moment.
The patience of both was extraordinary, as if seven days were nothing, even seven months or years passed by without them moving or changing posture.
But Song Yan did gain something.
Because he learned what kind of person Zhang Han was, at least a part of his character: steady.
