Chapter 121 True Soul Seed

A soul that was like a dark cloud, with countless auras intertwined into a tangled mess, floating quietly.

This is a soul cultivator who failed to break through the True Self Realm. The True Self Realm is also the most dangerous bottleneck in the entire soul cultivation system. As he devoured others along the way, his strength increased rapidly, but the mixture of countless incomplete memories and the impact of emotions and desires also made him completely lose himself.

A small bell with a wooden handle flew out of Jiang Yi's hand and fell into his soul.

"That is, our own soul servants. If they are those without any background and are directly dug out from the cultivation ground, they are usually thrown into the furnace directly. However, even if they are soul servants, they will be kept for a maximum of thirty years. If they cannot achieve the [True Self] within thirty years, they will still be used as alchemy materials."

"Master, you know that all Soul Kings are similar in their governance. Research on this has never stopped. Many plans have been proposed, but there has been no fundamental change."

Zou Xu didn't want to take over this job. Although the head of the Magic Cave seemed to be in a high position, he still couldn't change the reality that life and death were not in one's control, and the task was still heavy. Her current position was very good, as a monitor, she only needed to keep an eye on Chu Wuyong.

Soul cultivation really isn’t a waste at all!

For Jiang Yi, who inherited Chu Wuyong's memory, he was naturally aware of the problem.

The transition from the Soul-Leaving Realm to the True Self Realm is the most dangerous bottleneck in soul cultivation. The more souls one devours and the shorter the sedimentation time, the more dangerous this level becomes.

But the normal speed of cultivation is too slow. In the Hell Soul Realm where strength equals status and status equals life, most people can only follow the tide and be pushed forward.

There is no such concept as a family of cultivators in the Hell Soul Realm. After giving up their physical bodies, soul cultivators have lost the ability to reproduce. In the process of constant devouring, their personalities will change drastically and they may even be affected by their memories, making their understanding of their "true self" blurred. Therefore, selfishness is the essence of soul cultivators.

"One can learn from others' experience. If I can't produce a result that will satisfy Lord Soul King, I'm afraid it won't be long before I become the next Sang Yangting."

The cruelty of the Nine Wind Soul King is well known to everyone, but this is not the main reason. Jiang Yi has been pushing forward his plan step by step.

As the small bell fell, the originally dull soul surged like clouds and mist, and then collapsed towards the center.

A ghostly shadow with a demonic aura flew out from the soul and landed on the soul's shock point, followed by the second, the third...

Thirteen in total!
These thirteen demon souls are all evolved after absorbing the seven emotions and six desires accumulated in the soul. Each demon soul has a completely different face, and each face is a little blurry.

At this time, the volume of the soul in the center was less than one tenth of its initial size. Clear bell sounds came out from the soul intermittently, and the rising demonic energy made the weak soul like a burning torch.

As Jiang Yi pointed his finger, the thirteen demon souls turned into black streams of light and flew into the soul. The soul expanded rapidly again, and the small bell exploded. The thirteen demon souls merged into a demon seed, and the originally chaotic aura in the soul gradually began to integrate.

"Did it really succeed?" Zou Xu was extremely surprised as he sensed the changes in his soul.

"Not really. I have erased a large amount of his memory. From now on, he will randomly switch between multiple personalities. He is truly moody."

And most importantly, this soul cultivator is now a brand new life and has little connection with his previous past.

This is the huge pitfall of the soul cultivation system [True Self Realm]. Even if in the end "I am no longer myself", it is a success. If you continue to move forward with such a result, what will eventually become?

"Compared to being used as a material for alchemy, this is already very good. I believe that Lord Soul King will be satisfied. After all, the front line also needs cannon fodder, and the soul beast troops cannot act rashly at the moment."

Each Soul King faction has a large number of Soul Cultivators who have hit the bottleneck of their True Self, and are trapped in a state of neither life nor death, with their souls in a mess. It is undoubtedly a great achievement to integrate these forces that were originally only used as materials for alchemy.

With this support, Chu Wuyong's position as the leader is completely secure, and she can continue to be her supervisor.

"Keep going!!" Jiang Yi didn't want such "achievements", this was just an indispensable process in his plan.

"Yes." Zou Xu had already prepared enough experimental materials. ...

Finally, Jiang Yi's first achievement as the head of the Magic Cave came to fruition. It was not about medical treatment, but about increasing the success rate of soul cultivators in the Soul-Separation Realm to break through to the True Self Realm, and the success rate was greatly increased.

He mixed some of the magic with the ghost arts of the underworld, and then used special soul tools to plant them in the souls of soul cultivators. In essence, it was still the method of the devil, and it also contained a lot of knowledge related to cultivation, but it was not very sophisticated.

It is even possible to merge it with the soul seal used by the Soul King to control his subordinates. Then it may form a seed that combines control, inheritance, and magic soul. Jiang Yi calls it the "true soul seed"!
In a sense, this is somewhat similar to the divine inheritance of the Three Realms, the only difference is that the divine inheritance comes from the unknown, while the latter comes from him.

This is due to the fact that it is very easy for a soul cultivator to transform his soul state into the pure [God] path. However, this method may be difficult to spread in a short period of time, and the Nine Wind Soul King cannot selflessly share the results with other forces.

However, sometimes one cannot just refuse something with just a simple "don't want to". When the benefits are so great that he becomes the target of public criticism, the Nine Wind Soul King has no choice but to compromise.

"I was right about you. Well done!" The Nine Wind Soul King met Jiang Yi again.

But it is still a divided soul, and Jiang Yi has never seen the real Nine Wind Soul King.

“I will continue to work hard to contribute to Jiufeng Ridge and cultivate more powerful people.” Jiang Yi said in the tone that Chu Wuyong used to flatter Guixu Soul King in his memory.

"It's not urgent."

As he spoke, the Nine Wind Soul King pointed a finger at Jiang Yi's brow, and the soul mark in his soul immediately underwent a drastic change.

"During this period, I have modified the soul seal. The previous 'cheating' method is no longer effective. Regardless of whether the target is truly dead or faking death, the soul seal will devour the scattered soul at the first moment." It is obvious that the Nine Winds Soul King has carefully studied the Death Box he had refined before.

"Your main task from now on is to continue to crack it. As for the result of this time, it is called the True Soul Seed, right? The subsequent advancement of the True Soul Seed can be handed over to others. Anyway, there are many people in the Spell Cave. You can mobilize the resources of Jiufeng Ridge at will."

"As long as you can complete this mission, I will fully support you in reaching the [Holy Soul Realm] and becoming the new Soul King!"

"It is my honor to serve Master Soul King. My talent is limited, and I dare not dream of reaching the Saint Soul Realm."

"You don't have to be so hypocritical. I am not Guixu, and I don't like to listen to flattery. There is no absolute loyalty in the Hell Soul Realm. If it is really as you said, then I should be worried."

"Lord Soul King is indeed a man of great insight."

Jiang Yi did not take the blank check written by the Nine Winds Soul King seriously. The Soul King could not control beings of the same realm through soul seals, but the increase in power was still very attractive.

But he didn't understand, this Soul King seemed very keen on breaking the Soul Seal, even his enthusiasm was far greater than improving the strength of Jiufeng Ridge.

This is obviously extremely unreasonable!
However, if he wants to understand the real reason, he needs to pass the subsequent tests of the Nine Wind Soul King.

"By the way, your weapon refining skills are pretty good, so I'll give you this piece of Sky Wind Nine Aperture Stone as a reward."

A strange stone with nine holes on it, from which dense yin energy gushed out from the holes from time to time, flew out from the soul of the Nine Wind Soul King. It was considered a reward for him in addition to power this time.

This is indeed a rare treasure from heaven and earth. Unfortunately, he is only a spiritual power without the "Spiritual Treasure Atlas". If he relies solely on his own refining skills, it will take at least several years, or even decades, to refine a decent magic weapon.

"Thank you, Master Soul King, for the reward."
