Chapter 111: Too Fake
Sword Domain, Blood Sword Valley.
Lu Changge held the Four Directions Sword of Heaven and Earth in his hands, standing on a broken giant sword rising from the river of blood. His left chest was pierced and blood was gushing out, but his aura did not weaken in the slightest. Instead, his momentum reached its peak under his high fighting spirit.
A corpse with its head and body separated fell into the blood river below, splashing a small splash of water, and his sword became part of the blood river.
"Congratulations, you passed!" An old man in a blood-red robe appeared in front of Lu Changge with many sword shadows. The expression on his face was extremely satisfied, and he looked at Lu Changge as if he was looking at a perfect work of art.
As for the unlucky guy who fell into the blood river and became the blood river's nutrients, he was a loser, and he was dead so be it!
The sect invested so many resources, but in the end it was defeated by an experimental subject. What is there to say? Now that it is used as nutrients to strengthen the Blood River, it can be regarded as giving back to the sect and living up to the sect's kindness in nurturing it.
"From now on, you are the fifth swordsman of my Xuehe Sect!" The old man threw an identity token to Lu Changge.
The identity token was a pure bloody red in color, with the words "Blood Sword" engraved on one side and "Fifth" engraved on the other. It had intricate sword patterns, and contained a sharp sword intent.
Lu Changge looked at the identity token in his hand for a long time without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
"How can I continue to become stronger in the future?" Lu Changge asked after putting away the token, without any respect for the Sword Master of the Blood Sword Sect in front of him.
Ironically, in the first half of his life, he had always regarded the Immortal Realm as his only goal in life, but even when the Immortal Realm took action, he only had a glimpse of it on the battlefield of mountains and seas when he was young, so he did not understand the true strength of the Immortal Realm warriors.
However, during the time in the Blood Sword Sect, his strength increased rapidly. If he were to return to the original Jueshui City now, he could easily kill the ancestor of that time. It seems that he is not weaker than a warrior in the Immortal Realm.
But the strength equivalent to the Immortal Realm can no longer satisfy him, he wants to climb to higher peaks. As long as he is alive, the name of Lu family will not disappear. He wants Lu family to have a place in the new world after the three realms are unified!
But at this time he was neither a warrior nor a swordsman, so normal cultivation methods were useless to him.
"Take your identity token and go to Liuchen Sword Sect. They will help you with all their strength!"
助?
Lu Changge knew very well that the so-called "helping him" meant being studied, but he didn't care.
He knew this would be the result when he made the choice, but when he thought about the Lu family, after generations of efforts, they ultimately only reached the peak of the Melting God Realm and were not even qualified to be put on the chessboard as chess pieces!
Since the sects that monopolize the upper-level resources are all selfish, what does the destruction of the Chongming Realm have to do with his small Lu family?
He can't bear such a heavy burden, he just wants to become stronger!
"Remember, you and the Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword are in a life-and-death relationship. Everything you have now is built on the Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword."
Lu Changge looked at the Heaven and Earth Righteousness Sword in his hand. It was said that this divine sword was one of the three ancestral swords of the Blood Sword Sect. However, it was precisely because of his life-and-death cultivation with this sword that Lu Changge could feel the evil of this divine sword.
Righteousness of heaven and earth?
This has nothing to do with righteousness!
"Shall I set off now?" In just a few words, the blood on Lu Changge's chest had stopped. The former Fifth Swordsman who was beheaded by his sword was indeed very strong, but it was a pity that the opponent ran into his evil true self swordsmanship.
"It's up to you. If you are interested, you can also communicate with other disciples, or go to the sword tomb to observe the swords."
"Can you kill people?"
"No! Only on the Sword Pond Stage can fellow disciples fight to the death."
"That's not interesting!" Lu Changge turned around and flew away, preparing to apply for a flying boat to Liuchen Sword Sect.
In the eyes of the Sword Domain's upper echelons, he is a precious experimental subject, so even if the war between the three realms begins, he does not need to go to the battlefield to fight for his life.
His mission is to be studied, which sounds like a tragic fate, but think about the soul cultivator who may be devoured at any time, the sword cultivator who is used as a whetstone, and the warrior who is used as fertilizer, what does this matter?
"I don't know if Bu Xuwen has returned to the Sword Domain."
……
In the Soul Hell Realm, on the Soul Burial River.
A luxurious palace appeared above the island in the middle of the river. Virtual three-eyed melodious beasts sang loudly, and dark clouds dotted the sky. A dim and cold light curtain hung down from the void.
Balls of soul fire flew out from the palace and transformed into shadows of men and women, standing on both sides.
Finally, a figure dressed in imperial robes and wearing an imperial crown walked out on the dark clouds.
The Nine Wind Soul King arrived faster than they expected!
A soul beast as big as a mountain was lying above the island, and the Nine Wind Soul King was sitting on top of the soul beast.
"Meet the Soul King!"
Led by Tang Caicai, a group of remnants of Guixu Soul King paid homage on the island. They also transformed into illusory human forms. It is said that Jiufeng Soul King pays attention to this.
The Guixu Soul Kings of the past didn’t care about these things. No matter if you were possessed by a soul beast or appeared directly as an invisible soul body, you would not be blamed.
However, Jiang Yi soon discovered that the Soul King who came was not his real body, but a split soul!
Similar to the bleeding incarnation of warriors above the Immortal Realm, the Hell Soul Realm should be busy negotiating with the Sword Realm right now. A Soul King-level being would definitely not make a personal trip for such a small matter.
"It seems that you are very aware of the current situation. This is very good. From now on, you should obey Tang Caicai's orders obediently."
The voice of the Nine Wind Soul King revealed a chill that penetrated deep into the soul, as if a giant python was entangled around their souls and constantly spitting out its tongue, making people bow even more deeply.
"I obey the king's orders!"
“Come up!” The Nine Wind Soul King nodded to Tang Caicai who was kneeling below.
Tang Caicai flew to the top of the soul beast. Although she seemed unperturbed at this moment, she was obviously very excited. Didn't she make so many small moves just for this moment?
After changing the soul seal, Tang Caicai stood beside the Nine Wind Soul King, which was an affirmation of her identity.
Afterwards, they took turns to come forward to replace their soul seals. The soul cultivators had long been accustomed to this pattern, so when the matter was settled, they had no resistance in their hearts.
Just as Jiang Yi had said when he seduced Qi Zhongping, life and death are controlled by humans anyway, so what difference does it make which Soul King you follow!
When it was Qi Zhongping's turn, Jiang Yi showed no sign of abnormality on the surface, but he was a little nervous in his heart.
Can the Soul King see through the evil seeds he planted in Qi Zhongping's soul?
The previous opportunity was too perfect, he really couldn't help himself. It is not easy to control a soul cultivator in the Yin Shen realm. With Qi Zhongping, his subsequent plans can be carried out more easily.
Perhaps the Soul King also knew that these subordinates who were controlled by soul seals had no loyalty and it was enough to keep their lives in his hands, so he did not check these new recruits carefully.
Seeing Qi Zhongping pass the test safely, Jiang Yi finally felt relieved.
In fact, these soul kings were not wrong. Even if he controlled Qi Zhongping, Qi Zhongping's life and death were still in the hands of the Nine Wind Soul King.
Soon it was his turn.
The soul beast under the seat of the Nine Wind Soul King may be stronger than the immortal realm warriors. Because of his previous actions in Yanshan City, powerful soul beasts are now prohibited from entering Huozhou to avoid aiding the enemy. The Nine Wind Soul King pointed his finger at Jiang Yi's brow, and a hidden power entered his soul. After detecting the "soul seal" in his soul, the originally casual Nine Wind Palace King suddenly became serious and explored his soul with more violent power.
Jiang Yi was not worried about this, as the soul cultivation method determined that after leaving the soul realm, countless souls would accumulate. The slightest disharmony left by the possession of another body would be completely covered up by this chaos.
"Are you Chu Wuyong?"
"It's my subordinate!"
"It is said that you are good at various researches. Today I see that the rumors are true." The Nine Wind Soul King leaned on the horns of the soul beast and continued to look at Jiang Yi.
"I am only researching some minor things, which are not worthy of the Soul King's attention."
"Unfortunately, your soul seal is too fake!"
"The Soul King is very observant. I didn't expect Lord Tang to be so decisive. The time is too tight." Jiang Yi said realistically. It is true that the time is too short, otherwise he could have imitated it more realistically and it wouldn't be so fake at first glance like it is now.
At this time, Tang Caicai also looked over. Is it too fake?
The soul seal on Chu Wuyong has been removed?
Chu Wuyong can remove the Soul King's Soul Seal? !
Tang Caicai was shocked. This had never happened in the Hell Soul World before.
“Very good, if you can break free from my control, I will appoint you as the head of the Magic Cave, but if you can’t, you will die!!” The Nine Winds Soul King had a sinister aura on his body, and he casually wiped out the fake soul imprint in Jiang Yi’s soul, and left another soul imprint that belonged to him.
Jiang Yi finally came to his senses at this time. Due to his previous memory loss, he had no idea about the soul seal, otherwise he would never have come to Jiangxin Island!
When he found out, there was no way out and he could only go with the flow with a hope of getting away with it. That's why he planted the evil seed in Qi Zhongping at this critical juncture. Anyway, he had to take the blame for one thing, or two.
If you think about it carefully, if other soul kings helped him to remove it, how could they not leave a new soul imprint in his soul!
Then he can only remove it himself, but since you can remove the soul seal, it means that you may be out of control at any time. How can you make the Soul King feel at ease?
It’s a vicious circle!
What was originally a perfect infiltration was ultimately ruined by a tiny bit of missing memory.
"Lord Soul King, this... this will take time." Jiang Yi looked nervous and fearful.
Since the Nine Wind Soul King did not swallow him directly, it means that there is still hope for this matter.
The reward is for the person in charge of the Spell Cave, which is equivalent to a research institute, a place for studying various spells, curses, and forbidden techniques.
Different from warriors who conquer the world with their physical body and martial will, soul cultivators have various methods emerging in an endless stream, and the magic cave plays an indispensable role.
It was obvious that the Nine Wind Soul King noticed this point about him, but the removal of the soul seal had nothing to do with him at all. It was entirely because of Chu Wuyong's death that the soul seal dissipated on its own.
But can he say that?
"It doesn't matter. I'll give you some time! How about three months?"
“No matter how incompetent Guixu is, it’s impossible that he couldn’t even feel the disappearance of his soul seal, so the only way you could remove the soul seal was after the battle of Yanshan City. Three months is more than enough time.”
"I……"
How to do?
How is it possible to remove the soul seal in the soul within three months, and to do so through soul cultivation?
"What else do you want to say?" There was a hint of murderous intent in the words of the Nine Wind Soul King.
"I need the inheritance written by Jiang Yi from Chongming Realm. The more complete the better. I was able to remove the soul seal in my soul by studying this magic weapon I brought back from the battlefield of Yanshan City."
Never mind, just blow it!
It is simply impossible to remove the soul seal in just three months by relying solely on soul cultivation. If it could be done so easily, the Hell Soul Realm would not be in its current state!
In order to increase his persuasiveness, Jiang Yi summoned out the Ghost Bone Banner. He was now fighting for survival from death. As for what the Nine Wind Soul King would think, it was not within his consideration for the time being.
Survive first, then think about other things!
"Yes, those things have been passed down by spies from all sides before. For more, I will order spies to collect them for you. No matter what means you use, as long as you can remove my soul seal, the previous promise will be valid!"
The Nine Wind Soul King took over the Ghost Bone Banner and felt the power that automatically attacked his soul.
The Magic Cave has also studied Jiang Yi's inheritance and is still studying it now. Naturally, they, the Soul Kings, will not try it easily.
After all, who would scatter their inheritance around like waste paper? The more special and irreplaceable one is, the more stable one's position will be.
This is like universal education, isn't it just making things uncomfortable?
They couldn't understand Jiang Yi's thoughts and just thought that there was a trap, or it was simply a trap set by the Chongming Realm.
"Then... I will take my leave first."
"Goodbye? Where do you want to go?"
"Of course, we should hurry back to Hidden Moon Cave to do research and do our best to complete Lord Soul King's mission within the time limit."
The power controlled by each soul king is actually quite scattered. When they are not recruited, the soul cultivators in the Yin Shen realm are relatively free and have their own territories, such as Chu Wuyong's Hidden Moon Cave and Tang Caicai's Jiangxin Island.
The Soul King simply integrated the forces of these Yin Shen Realm soul cultivators together.
"No need to go through so much trouble. You can come back to Jiufeng Ridge with me. The conditions there are definitely better than your Hidden Moon Cave. Just ask for anything you need."
It was obvious that the Nine Winds Soul King did not trust him, or rather, a soul cultivator would not trust anyone except himself. The Nine Winds Soul King let other people go because of the soul seal, and kept him by his side also because of the soul seal!
Can Jiang Yi refuse?
No!
Even if he could successfully remove the soul seal in his soul three months later, he would probably not be able to leave Jiufeng Ridge. The original plan to give birth to the demon species and completely control Qi Zhongping had to be shelved temporarily.
We can only take one step at a time and see one step at a time.
"As ordered!"
