The Nether Tree absorbed this energy, and it seemed to emit a very small amount of Netherworld’s Qi.

Song Yan squinted for a moment and thought to himself: "If this thing really grows up, wouldn’t that be a problem?"

However, when he got the tree, he had already refined it at the first opportunity. Although the tree was evil, it was now bound to him.

"It’s just that this tree needs life energy, and I also need life energy."

Song Yan was a bit speechless, then immediately grabbed a corpse of an Earth Beast and started skinning it on a nearby rock.

After the skin was removed, he threw the beast’s corpse into the sacrificial array and began making a shadow puppet.

However, after some operations, he unexpectedly found that the Celestial Calamity Beast seemed extremely special; skin making couldn’t summon a soul. This was the first time he failed to make a shadow puppet using beast skin.

Thus, he threw this half-finished shadow puppet and all the Earth Beasts’ corpses into the sacrificial array, piling it full over the entire array shield.

As time passed...

Days later.

An entire boatload of Earth Beasts had been refined into life energy.

Song Yan allocated a bit to the Nether Tree, and devoured the rest himself.

The rich life energy entered his body, making him feel an indefinable transformation within.

He moved his palm, bringing out the "Free Celestial Demon Map" again, only to see that the eyes of the elegant, white-robed immortal on the map naturally gained one or two deeper lines. At the same time, he felt his eyes itching. He rubbed them instinctively, but the itch didn’t fade, as if it was rooted in his bone marrow or even his divine soul.

"Where exactly did this energy go?"

Song Yan clenched his fist, applied his technique, and found that neither his physique nor magic had strengthened.

Suddenly, the words of the Killing Demon Monk echoed in his mind.

"When I was in another Cultivation Realm, I was just a small evil thought. By chance, I grew to my current level and came to this Cultivation Realm. This time, I want to become stronger, to be a higher-level celestial demon."

In an instant, he understood.

Devouring life energy can help one become a higher-level celestial demon.

But this method isn’t efficient.

Otherwise, an evil thought, wandering another Cultivation Realm until its destruction, would only grow into a Killing Demon Monk.

This showed how much energy is needed.

Monks have many precepts: against deceit, against killing, against theft, against lust...

There are monks who understand the true meaning of deceit and the true meaning of killing, and the Killing Demon Monk mentioned one who mastered the true meaning of theft, suggesting there might be others.

When all true meanings are gathered, the monk might become a so-called "higher-level celestial demon," which likely lies beneath the Obsession Layer in the Sea of Suffering.

Compared to life energy, absorbing similar beings is more efficient.
