Chapter 108: The Soul Seizes the Body, the First Visit to the Soul Hell World
Under the Hidden Moon Cave in the Soul Hell Realm, there is a huge underground palace. Only the dim moonlight seeps in. The cold wind blows through the ground, making a "woooo" sound, which seems particularly terrifying.
"Wuyong, you have to pay attention to this matter. Guixu Soul King has not shown up since the battle of Yanshan City. Even my confidants can't contact the Soul King. If... you know what I mean."
In the empty hall, there stood a huge banner nearly five meters high, decorated with white bones and emitting an evil aura.
The two soul shadows in front of the big banner were communicating through soul transmission. To living people, this scene was no different from that in the ghost realm!
Different from warriors and sword cultivators who prefer bright and dry environments, soul cultivators like to stay in the cold underground, completely separated from normal human society.
"Brother Qi, are you still worried about me doing things? I will definitely not give Soul King Guchuan a chance to take advantage of it."
"This is a special period. If we still don't get any news from Lord Soul King after a month..."
"I will go to the Soul Burial River in a month." Chu Wuyong understood what the other party meant. It would not be good for anyone if many things were stated too clearly.
"Then I'll take my leave."
The soul shadow left wrapped in the cold wind, but stopped in front of the gate of the underground palace, and its perception swept towards the big banner.
"That guy is very strange. You'd better be careful when studying his stuff. In my opinion, it's better not to get involved."
"The systems of sword cultivators and warriors are completely useless to soul cultivators like me, but some of Jiang Yi's God-given inheritance is very compatible with our cultivation methods, especially these magic weapons targeting the soul, which are very interesting."
"It's just a dead object. Brother Qi is overly nervous."
The effect of the Ghost Bone Banner automatically attacking the soul is still there, but with the strength of the two, this level of attack can be completely ignored.
"Just keep it in mind!"
The man left, and the underground palace fell into even deeper silence.
Originally, they all liked to attach themselves to soul beasts, as the soul beasts' bodies had a certain nourishing effect on their souls.
But since the battle of Yanshan City, countless soul beasts defected. Although this was only one of the many reasons that led to the failure of that battle, it also made the cautious soul cultivators change this habit.
"If I add a seal like this and shut down the automatic attack, I can directly study the more core areas..."
"Haha, I really am a genius!"
Chu Wuyong continued to devote himself to the research on the Ghost Bone Banner, and terrifying laughter echoed from the underground palace from time to time.
As time went by, Chu Wuyong gained a lot of insights in his research on the Ghost Bone Banner, but for some reason, he recently developed an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
"Could it be that Soul King Furukawa is planning to attack me?"
"That doesn't make sense. Even if someone needs to make an example of someone, it shouldn't be me!"
Chu Wuyong is very confident in himself. His strength may not be that good, but whether it is the research on curses or the level of refining Horcruxes, he is among the best.
Even if Guixu Soul King is gone, as long as he doesn't seek death, the other Soul Kings will only win him over. He is different from the previous "Brother Qi".
As time went on, this uneasiness became more and more intense.
"No, there must be something I haven't noticed." Chu Wuyong glanced at the ghost bone banner standing in the underground palace, and finally shook his head.
This magic weapon is not enough to threaten him!
Moreover, after studying it for such a long time, he did not find any sinister back-up plan in this magic weapon.
"No, I have to go and ask for an audience with Soul King Furukawa."
Chu Wuyong had long lost the mood to study the Ghost Bone Banner. After being suspicious in the underground palace for several days, he could no longer suppress the uneasiness in his heart.
He decided to surrender to Soul King Furukawa and obtain his protection. As for what that "Brother Qi" had discussed with him, in the face of a crisis that might threaten his own life, who could care less!
Moreover, they were trying to win him over just to increase their bargaining chips. If it weren't for the fact that they were all colleagues, he wouldn't want to get involved. Compared with his own safety, he could only say sorry to his colleagues.
Chu Wuyong wrapped the ghost bone banner with his soul and left the underground palace and exited the Yinyue Cave.
At this moment, Chu Wuyong suddenly let out a shrill scream, and the ghost bone banner wrapped in his soul emitted a faint precious light. An invisible clone separated from the banner and began to take over Chu Wuyong's body without any concealment.
In a blink of an eye, the ghost bone banner shrank to the size of a palm and completely merged with the soul.
"It seems that there is indeed a connection between the three realms!"
I have waited for a long time, but the mark of the world's will has not fallen. There will be no problem after that.
When Chu Wuyong entered the Hell Soul Realm with the Ghost Bone Banner containing his soul, since the world will did not mark it directly, it meant that he had completed the smuggling.
“It was just an idea at first, but I never thought it would be successful!”
Jiang Yi flew down from the Hidden Moon Cave, entered the gloomy underground palace, and began to digest Chu Wuyong's memories.
The evil way of taking over other people's bodies is not limited to occupying the physical body!
In the last step of "Seven Arrows with Nailed Heads", after Jiang Yi shot the arrow at the straw man, he immediately used his cloned spirit hidden in the ghost bone banner to take over its body.
In his eyes, the seal that Chu Wuyong left on the Ghost Bone Banner was full of loopholes and could not stop him at all.
At this time, Chu Wuyong was already dying, and his clone completed the soul possession very easily. As long as he maintained the current soul breath and the received memories, he could perfectly replace Chu Wuyong's identity.
The memory of an old soul cultivator who has lived for tens of thousands of years is very vast, but Chu Wuyong died too quickly under the curse of the "Seven Arrows with Nailed Heads", so it is inevitable that some of his memory will be lost.
But it's not a big problem. Soul cultivators are affected by their cultivation methods and their temperaments are changeable. As long as they are cautious, it is unlikely that they will be discovered.
The realm of soul cultivators is not suitable for comparison with warriors. Before they get rid of the constraints of the physical body, it is collectively called the [Soul Nurturing Realm]. Soul cultivators at this stage are completely beaten by warriors and sword cultivators.
The soul can leave the body and no longer needs the physical body to nourish the soul. The soul can survive independently. This stage is called the [Soul Separation State].
Soul cultivators who have entered the Soul-Leaving State will often abandon their physical bodies directly. In their opinion, the physical body is too fragile and can be easily exploited by others as a medium to curse them.
When reaching the Soul Separation Realm, soul cultivators can quickly become stronger by devouring souls, but the souls of living beings carry a large amount of memories, and if they are not careful they will lose themselves and fall into the vicious circle of "who am I".
Therefore, it is normal for soul cultivators to have changing temperaments. It is rare for you to be able to maintain your temperament all the time.
Regardless of whether it is still the original self or not, as long as one can create a stable self and control the huge soul, it is considered a success. This step is the [realm of true self].
Above that are the Yin Shen Realm and the Sheng Hun Realm.
The Holy Soul Realm is equivalent to the Three Elements Realm of Warriors, and is also called the Soul King in the Prison Soul Realm. There are no sects or clans here, and a Soul King represents a force.
Chu Wuyong is in the Yin God realm, originally from the Guixu Soul King faction. He is the one who possessed the largest soul beast to attack Yanshan City, and finally used the soul beast's corpse to transform into a curse power to attack Jiang Yi.
That Soul King is most likely infected with a mysterious aura, and no one knows where he is hiding right now to dissipate the influence. He cannot take care of his own power for the time being, causing the people below to feel uneasy. There are other Soul Kings pushing him from behind.
Internal strife has never been unique to the Chongming Realm. The internal strife in the Hell Soul Realm is even more intense, and the methods used are more inclined towards the devil. The special method of cultivation determines that each soul cultivator is a "pill" for each other's promotion. Many soul cultivators even train their subordinates by "refining pills"!
"These soul cultivators are simply natural talents for the path of magic!" Jiang Yi sighed secretly after sorting out his memories.
Chu Wuyong is obsessed with various researches, which can be put to good use. Combined with the methods of refining soul weapons in his memory, it will not be difficult for him to survive here.
"Let's go to Soul Burial River first."
Jiang Yi gave up Chu Wuyong's plan to surrender to Guchuan Soul King. There has been no news from Guixu Soul King, and the Yinshen realm soul cultivators under him are like ants on a hot pan. Perhaps this is an opportunity.
