Chapter 115 Divine Punishment
"Wan Ning..."
"My name is Chu Wuyong!!"
"Chu Wuyong? Impossible. We have known each other for more than a hundred years. How could I remember your name wrong? We have conducted a lot of research together over the years. How could I remember it wrong?"
"Master, I have only been here for a month."
"is it?"
In a dim stone chamber, an old man with a bald head, a goatee and a misty lower body stared at Jiang Yi, who was wearing the Chu Wuyong vest.
There is a cold pool of water in the stone chamber, beside which grows a dark green vine. A light mist is diffused in the air, making the scene hazy.
"Forget it, let's just call him Chu Wuyong. In the Magic Cave, your name is not important. Since you are new here, I will explain the rules of the Magic Cave to you..."
The old man's name is Sang Yangting, the head of the Magic Cave. It is said that he had some problems due to a failed experiment before. His memory is confused and he often forgets what he just said the next moment.
As for Wan Ning he mentioned, he was also a researcher in the Spell Cave, but he was thrown into the Soul-Devouring Furnace by this person thirty years ago.
The pie that the Nine Wind Soul King had promised him before was to replace this person, and now Sang Yangting became his research material.
Obviously, in the eyes of the Nine Wind Soul King, Sang Yangting in this state is no longer suitable to continue to be the person in charge. Recycling waste as research material is the most suitable.
“Thinking back then, I also accompanied Lord Soul King to pay homage at Thousand Snow Peak. During the visit...what was I going to say?” Sang Yangting fell into deep thought.
"Qianxue Peak? Pay homage?" Jiang Yi originally thought it was just a group of flies buzzing in his ears. This old man was a chatterbox, and his memory was confused, so he kept saying repetitive things.
He was very interested in the beginning, but it became a complete torture after a while!
But this time I heard something new, and...
Pay homage?
Is there any existence in the Soul Prison Realm that the Soul King can humble himself and pay homage to?
"Qianxue Peak? Where is that?" Sang Yangting looked at Jiang Yi with dissatisfaction, as if blaming him for interrupting him.
really!
Seeing Sang Yangting's appearance, Jiang Yi sighed inwardly. This old guy had lost one soul and three spirits, so he became like this.
Thousand Snow Peak!
This is something worthy of attention, but such a secret is not suitable for random inquiries. Sang Yangting was used as an experimental consumable, and all he could study was the soul imprint in the other party's soul.
Even if he could perform a ritual to recover Sang Yangting's lost soul and three spirits, he couldn't control them under the nose of the Nine Wind Soul King. Once they recovered, as the person in charge of the magic cave who had controlled it for nearly a thousand years, Sang Yangting would not be as "kind" as he was now.
This matter requires long-term consideration, so let's deal with it first after the three-month period is over.
"Wan Ning, don't interrupt me if you have nothing to do."
"My name is Chu Wuyong!"
A new cycle begins again and the torture continues.
Three days later, Zou Xu, who was in charge of monitoring him, showed up with a bunch of information, "Chu Wuyong, this is what you want."
These materials were all the various inheritance books he had compiled himself, which he had requested before under various excuses.
I have to say that the Nine Winds Soul King is quite capable. Even his latest introduction to the way of magic is included in here, which is good.
During this period, he also came up with a lot of ideas and tried them on Sang Yangting or on himself more than once.
With the knowledge he currently possesses, he can indeed remove the control of the soul seal in the soul, but the means he uses cannot be explained to the Nine Wind Soul King.
If we break down and convert the methods one by one according to the system of soul cultivation, there will be no hope even in three years, let alone three months.
"Qin Yue, have you completed your research on [Nine-Nine Soul Ban]? You don't have much time left. If you fail to complete the task by the deadline, don't blame me for throwing you into the Soul-Devouring Furnace." Seeing Zou Xu, Sang Yangting immediately shifted the target of his attack. If he hadn't recognized the wrong person again, he would still have the aura of a superior.
"If you don't want to listen to his nonsense, you can lock him up in the Soul-Sealing Cave." Zou Xu glanced at Sang Yangting indifferently.
"No need. I have experiments that require him later." It is precisely because he is confused that it is possible to hear some secrets from him.
Zou Xu didn't say anything else, turned around and left, but she only left on the surface, she would continue to monitor him secretly.
"How dare you, little thing, talk to me like that!!"
Sang Yangting was angry. Who was he? He was the head of the Jiufeng Ridge Magic Cave. He could not decide life and death of all the people involved in the magic cave with a single word, but he was close.
A terrifying aura burst out from Sang Yangting, and the power of his soul surged, but the next moment, blue and white chains sprang out from his soul and tied him up like a dumpling.
"Hey, what's going on? Why do I have [Ten Thousand Soul Seals] on me? I have to go find Lord Soul King. There is a traitor in Jiufeng Ridge. He actually attacked me without me noticing. His strength is extraordinary!" Sang Yangting struggled for a few times. He was very clear about the power of Ten Thousand Soul Seals, so he gave up decisively and looked at Jiang Yi again.
"Wan Ning, go and report to Lord Soul King immediately. This is a great achievement. Don't forget to mention me!"
Jiang Yi didn't want to waste time explaining anything to the old man. It wouldn't be long before he would forget about it and start chatting with him again. This was the experience he had gained in the past month.
I don't know why, but he can't forget Wan Ning, the man he threw into the Soul-Devouring Furnace to be refined into a pill and then swallowed by him.
The control of the soul by the soul seal cannot be escaped by simply splitting the soul. If a powerful force attacks the soul seal violently, the soul seal will destroy the controlled soul first.
The next thing Jiang Yi is going to try is to imitate the extinction of the soul, deceive the soul seal, and let the soul seal dissipate on its own, just like the soul seal in Chu Wuyong's soul. This is the simplest, but also the most difficult and most dangerous direction!
He couldn't do this before, but now that he has the inheritance of the underworld, it is worth a try. According to his deduction, the chance of success is at least 60%.
...In Fire Province, Cangqiong Peak disappeared into the void, heading north from Fortress No. 5 towards the border defense zone of the Hell Soul Realm.
Cangqiong Peak can be seen as a mobile fortress. It is said that it was built by Zunwang Mountain using a prehistoric relic. Its speed is not slower than a large flying boat. Its defense is second only to Yanshan City, and it is highly secretive.
As the recognized number one sect in Chongming Realm, there is no doubt about the foundation of Zunwang Mountain.
Before leaving Fortress No. 5, Jiang Yi specifically sensed the situation in the fortress. He found that there were more than a thousand people practicing Taoism in the fortress. It seemed that his efforts during this period were not in vain.
The income from preaching the gospel was only one or two points at most, and only three or five points at most. It seemed very insignificant, but he had already overcome the most difficult hurdle. After that, even if he did nothing, he would continue to gain merit from preaching the gospel.
This is much easier than planning the merits of heaven and earth for him!
This [Jedi] plan is considered a spearhead operation, so the weakest person on Cangqiong Peak is at the peak of the Rongshen level. In order not to affect the strength of the Yanshan defense line, Qin Fuwen even brought reinforcements from the south.
Since the Sword Domain can cross the border to attack them, wouldn't it be easy for them to do some tricks in secret?
Although Jiang Yi had a certain degree of confidence in removing the soul seal after sorting out the inheritance of the underworld, he still couldn't help but be curious about how the spies planted by the various sects bypassed this trap.
However, Jiang Yi did not go to find Master Qin Shan, but found the elders of the sect. Originally, he planned to find Le Sheng, with whom he had interacted before. Although the interaction between him and Le Sheng was not pleasant, it was easier to talk to acquaintances. But he never expected that Le Sheng had died in the previous battle.
Finally he found Wu Baoping, the only female Triple Realm expert in the Mengshen Sect, and also the neutral faction of the sect.
The affairs of the sect are nominally managed by the sect master, but the real secrets are tightly held in the hands of these ancestors.
"You actually know this?" Wu Baoping looked at Jiang Yi in surprise.
Jiang Yi just smiled and nodded without further explanation. He didn't want to expose Chu Wuyong's alias for the time being. Anyway, he was now imprisoned in Jiufeng Ridge and couldn't do anything with those deeply buried nails.
Wu Baoping did not get to the bottom of the matter. Jiang Yi was a special existence not only to the Mengshen Sect, but also to the entire Chongming Realm, just like this plan.
"It's actually very simple. Don't even think about removing it. Soul cultivators have studied that thing for countless years. How can we warriors possibly unlock it?" Wu Baoping said as a matter of course.
"So, we just need to use a treasure to temporarily block the soul seal."
"Will I not be discovered after blocking?" Jiang Yi was shocked. This idea was not a problem. If he had not been imprisoned by the Nine Wind Soul King, he would have many ways to solve this problem.
"No, we are just shielding the distance. Those Soul Kings can still sense the existence of the Soul Seal."
"Normally, the soul seal planted by the Soul King can almost ignore the distance. The treasure we provide is to shorten this distance. If it is activated beyond the distance, the soul seal in the soul will not take effect." Wu Baoping explained briefly.
"During this process, was there no spy who betrayed us and leaked our methods?" Jiang Yi couldn't believe it. This method was too crude.
Is this putting all hope on the loyalty of the spy?
But there is no brainwashing program in the Chongming Realm!
"Of course, the soul cultivation system has determined that their advantage in covert invasion will be far greater than ours. In fact, in the past few thousand years of invasion wars, we and the Sword Realm have joined forces to target the Hell Soul Realm, and the targeted treasures are also jointly researched by our two realms."
Jiang Yi finally understood. This was completely different from what he had thought before. The relationship between the three realms was really too complicated.
“So, even though the Sword Realm is now tied to the Hell Soul Realm, the Sword Realm will not use its full strength until the Hell Soul Realm is truly crippled.”
"This is also the main purpose of Lord Qin Shan's plan. To put it bluntly, it is done for the Sword Domain to see. The result is actually not important." Wu Baoping looked at Jiang Yi with a look that told young people not to be impatient.
Jiang Yi understood. He just didn't know enough about the open quarrels and secret intrigues between the three realms.
Because of his existence, or because of the existence of the Demon Summoning Banner, the Hell Soul Realm no longer has the confidence to completely turn against the Sword Realm. Therefore, as long as they show a posture of targeting the Hell Soul Realm to death, the Sword Realm will be relatively restrained. After all, they have the capital to drag it out.
In order to achieve the final victory, Jian Yu can come up with any excuse, no matter how ridiculous it is.
I knew it. Jiang Yi had always felt that this [Jedi] plan was ridiculous. So what even if it succeeded?
The Hell Soul Realm is so vast. How long will it take for him to "airdrop" the mysterious aura by himself before it becomes a threat to the Hell Soul Realm?
Once the Hell Soul Realm lets go of this spearhead force and concentrates its forces to counterattack the Yanshan defense line, the defense line will surely be broken!
Could they make a big breakthrough and go straight into the heart of the Soul Prison Society?
This is not an ordinary war. There is no point in doing this. The Heavenly Dao of Chongming Realm cannot keep up. Even if they cause great damage on the land of Hell Soul Realm, they cannot influence this world war.
Therefore, this "Jedi" plan can only be carried out once, or as Wu Baoping said, this is a show performed for Jianyu in order to stabilize Jianyu.
This method of avoiding the soul seal is completely meaningless to him!
The border defense lines of the two worlds were not too far away to begin with, and Cangqiong Peak soon reached the defense line of the Hell Soul Realm. Jiang Yi stood in the air with a black lotus under his feet, an apricot yellow flag on his head, and a demon-summoning banner in his hand.
Obviously, the Hell Soul Realm did not expect that the Chongming Realm would dare to counterattack, otherwise there would be no soul beasts here.
Jiang Yi gently waved the demon-summoning banner in his hand. A chilly wind whistled, and the green tadpoles on the banner swam out together and disappeared into the void. All the soul beasts below were controlled.
However, this time Jiang Yi did not let these soul beasts join the battle, but ordered all the soul beasts to go south. He would then pollute the entire battlefield with a mysterious aura. There was no point in keeping the soul beasts, so it would be better to send them back and give them to a group of demons as training materials.
The defense line below was fully activated, large formations lit up one after another, and powerful soul weapons attacked Cangqiong Peak.
Thousands of golden lotuses blossomed from the apricot yellow flag above Jiang Yi's head, cooperating with the defense of Cangqiong Peak. At the same time, the world-destroying black lotus under his feet flew up, and the black lotus space opened up, and mysterious auras floated down. The heavy defense formations could not block these auras at all.
All the warriors on Cangqiong Peak were just defending, no one took the initiative to attack, they were not here to kill.
The invisible and imperceptible mysterious aura gradually began to affect the entire battlefield. The soul cultivators who were contaminated by the aura were rejected by the heaven and earth and showed all kinds of weirdness.
As time went by, the entire battlefield was filled with an extremely unsettling feeling. More and more soul cultivators, even those who had not been contaminated by the mysterious aura, began to experience all kinds of discomfort, just like the northern city area of Yanshan City, which was still off-limits to strangers.
This thing is horrible!
Everyone who saw this change for the first time was shocked, while Jiang Yi was observing it carefully with the Haotian Mirror.
At this moment, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and everyone looked up unconsciously. Blood-red thunder ignored the defense of Cangqiong Peak and bombarded the golden lotus that appeared on the apricot yellow flag, causing the golden lotus to appear to decay.
Damn it! ?
How could there be divine punishment? !
