“The Demon Reincarnation Technique has been activated and cannot be stopped. However, my foundation in the Dao is the Nameless Cultivation Technique, which cannot blend the opposing elements of water and fire. Can I really afford to let the life essence of this Vermilion Bird Egg go to waste…?” Shen Luo's thoughts raced, and suddenly, his eyes lit up as he looked at the Pure Yang Sword within the giant egg.

Although the Pure Yang Sword is a Flying Sword, it is not incapable of undertaking the power of the Demon Reincarnation Technique. Moreover, the Pure Yang Sword is a fire-attribute Flying Sword, sharing the same origin as the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, so there is no issue with elemental conflict.

Furthermore, the power of the Vermilion Bird True Fire is no less than that of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. If it could be integrated into the Pure Yang Sword, the sword would possess two great Spiritual Fires, and its power would undoubtedly increase dramatically.

The more Shen Luo thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He put away the Slayer's Broken Sword with a flip of his hand and began to cast magic spells rapidly with both hands, sending streaks of black light into the huge Vermilion Bird egg.

Though he had not practiced this demonic technique, he could still exert some control over the Demon Reincarnation Technique.

As he continued to cast spells, the vitality refined from the Vermilion Bird Fledgling poured into the Pure Yang Sword. The red light on the sword grew increasingly bright, and the thirty-four layers of Pure Yang Prohibitions within it began to expand as if inflated, struggling to withstand the surging power of the Flying Sword.

Seeing this, Shen Luo was overjoyed; the Pure Yang Sword was indeed capable of inheriting the power of the Demon Reincarnation Technique.

He hurriedly divided his attention, focusing on both the Demon Reincarnation Technique and the refinement of new Pure Yang Prohibitions. As the scorching vitality of the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast flowed in, the new Pure Yang Prohibitions rapidly took shape. In just moments, a layer of prohibition was fully formed.

“Fortune favors me! The power of the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, like the Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood before, accelerates the formation of Pure Yang Prohibitions!” Shen Luo's eyes shone, and he took a deep breath to calm himself.

Refining the Vermilion Bird Egg seemed to require quite a bit of time, and the Zhurong Basin was quite peculiar. There was no guarantee that dangers wouldn't arise, and relying solely on the Liangyi Micro-dust Array might not be completely foolproof.

After a moment's contemplation, he waved his sleeve, and a scroll flew out–it was the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Shen Luo had wielded this treasure in the Dream World and was very familiar with its internal prohibitions. Although he had not consecrated it now and his mana was far less than in the Dream World, he could still activate some of the power of this treasure.

The Map of Mountains and Rivers suddenly expanded a hundredfold, turning into a massive curtain that merged into the void, shielding the Mountain Cave and its surroundings, including the Liangyi Micro-dust Array, within.

With that done, Shen Luo could fully concentrate on propelling the Demon Reincarnation Technique.

At the time when the Demon Reincarnation Great Formation was being activated, in a certain area of the Zhurong Basin, blue light appeared out of nowhere, revealing a blue figure–it was the Mirage Demon whom Shen Luo had encountered in Yunmeng Marsh.

The Mirage Demon was holding a black disk with a complex web of lines that bore some resemblance to Shen Luo's Black Jade Plate. A black dot on the disk surface was pulsating rapidly.

“Damn it, someone has beaten me to it and found that Vermilion Bird Egg, and they're even in the middle of refining it. Who could it be?” The Mirage Demon was seething with shock and anger, its hands rapidly weaving spells in an attempt to lock down the location of the Vermilion Bird Egg.

However, no matter how the Mirage Demon cast its spells, it couldn't locate the egg.

“How is this possible? Right before I entered the Zhurong Basin, I used the Demon Yoke Disk to detect the position of the Vermilion Bird Egg. It seems that someone has set up a profound prohibition or used some magical treasure to block the sense of the Demon Yoke Disk!” The Mirage Demon's face was an ugly sight.

Fortunately, it roughly remembered the location of the Vermilion Bird Egg, and there was still a chance to find it by hurrying over there.

With that thought, the Mirage Demon waved its hand.

A cluster of blue light appeared above its head, revealing a blue feather that shimmered with a crystal-clear glow, apparently a peculiar magical treasure.

“Blue Spirit Snow Feather, Escape!” The Mirage Demon expelled a burst of refined vitality from its mouth, infusing it into the blue feather.

“`

The feather shot out a blue radiance suddenly, enveloping the body of the Mirage Demon and transforming into a blue rainbow that tore through the sky, instantly disappearing at the horizon ahead, with a startlingly fast speed.

Within half an hour, the Mirage Demon arrived at the site where Shen Luo had previously engaged in a fierce battle with the Red Flame Beasts near the magma lake, the traces of their fight still clearly visible.

“It seems this is the place,” the Mirage Demon immediately spread out its Divine Sense, closely scrutinizing the surroundings.

Time ticked by, and soon one day and one night had passed.

Within the space of the Liangyi Micro-dust Array, the huge Vermilion Bird egg had vanished, and the Demon Reincarnation Technique's demonic array was also nowhere to be seen, leaving behind only a dazzling ball of flame suspended there, releasing an endless intense heat, much like a miniature sun.

Shen Luo's expression was gravely serious, his hands moving quickly to form seals, as one magic spell after another integrated into the dazzling flame like raindrops.

The flame pulsated and danced restlessly, akin to a living creature's heart, with its growing gigantic aura radiating from inside, causing the surrounding Array Method Space to shake more and more violently, unable to withstand its power.

Soon another half an hour passed, and the dazzling flame's pulsations gradually stabilized, an indication that the internal power was beginning to settle.

Seeing this, Shen Luo's intense expression eased somewhat, he bit his tongue tip, spraying a mouthful of essence blood, which flashed and merged into the flame.

The blaze suddenly erupted with light, and a strikingly clear cry burst forth from within, as the illusion of a crimson avian the size of a zhang shot out from it.

This avian appeared majestic and noble, its entire body radiating fiery red color, crowned with flames and trailed by three fiery red tail feathers; spheres of crimson flame burned upon them, it was indeed the Vermilion Bird Divine Bird.

An unbearably hot aura burst forth from the Vermilion Bird Illusion, causing the nearby Liangyi Micro-dust Array Space to collapse with a thunderous roar, returning once more to the previous mountain cave as the rocks around melted into magma.

Fortunately, the Map of Mountains and Rivers was guarding the area, preventing the cave from collapsing and disintegration.

The dazzling firelight also quickly receded, revealing a crimson Flying Sword, which was the Pure Yang Sword.

However, the Pure Yang Sword now exhibited quite a few changes, its color had deepened significantly, and numerous feather patterns had appeared on the sword handle, with a faint flicker of flames within the red light it emanated.

A dense array of Spirit Patterns pulsed slightly on the sword body, evidently amounting to no less than sixty.

The fire elemental vitality within the Vermilion Bird Egg was incredibly rich, raising the grade of the Pure Yang Sword to the pinnacle of superior-grade Magical Treasures.

But what delighted Shen Luo the most was the Divine Bird phantom just now, which was the elemental spirit of the huge egg that had blended into the Pure Yang Sword, transforming into the tool spirit.

Tool Spirit is something that can only be found in very few superior-grade Magical Treasures, usually by sealing the souls of beasts within it, merging it with the treasure to form a Tool Spirit.

Doing this not only greatly enhances the power of the magical treasure, allowing it to form various shapes of Tool Spirits such as Flood Dragons, Giant Pythons, and Fierce Tigers but also retains the abilities it had in life, which is a shortcut to increase the power of the treasure.

For example, now that the Pure Yang Sword has a Vermilion Bird Tool Spirit, when pushed to the extreme it can manifest the Vermilion Bird True Spirit, making its power more than ten times higher than plain Sword Qi or Sword Radiance attacks.

The Vermilion Bird True Spirit is capable of unleashing the Vermilion Bird True Fire, melting all things, which is beyond what ordinary Sword Qi can achieve.

However, the success rate of integrating a Tool Spirit is usually quite low, and the more formidable the beast soul, the lower the chance of successful integration. Having a Vermilion Bird Tool Spirit, Shen Luo truly found a cause for overwhelming joy.
