The Stone Seat Elder knew that he was close to death. He was stuck at the Ninth Layer of Refining Profound, always feeling that he was just a step away from breaking through to the "Crimson Palace Realm." However, the "Crimson Palace Realm" required, besides continued absorption of Profound Qi, a suitable "external blood" as the main ingredient to refine the "Crimson Palace Pill."
This blood could be from advanced demon beasts or others.
Of course... if it's not suitable, you can try, but the success rate will be very low.
The Stone Seat Elder tried twice and failed both times.
Not only did he fail, but it also left him nearly on his last breath.
The path of cultivation is inherently a defiance against the heavens, full of obstacles—this is common.
The Stone Seat Elder resigned to fate, all he sought for the rest of his life was to find a worthy successor for his legacy.
