Chapter 785 Soul Beast
The hurricane beast never dreamed that it would meet its nemesis and lose its life unjustly.
Fairy Gu Han waved her hand slightly, and the obviously smaller wind-fixing bead flew to her palm and was collected by her.
"I didn't expect Fairy Gu Han to carry the treasure of the Yu Shui Palace with her, so it's no wonder that the hurricane beast was put last." Tianying Patriarch looked at Fairy Gu Han and said with a smile.
"This is natural. If the wind-fixing bead was disturbed by the lava ghost fire beast when it was sacrificed, it would fail. Moreover, it is really not easy to break the strong wind of such a huge hurricane beast, and it also consumes the spiritual power in the wind-fixing bead."
"Let's keep going." After saying that, Fairy Gu Han said to Xiao Lin and others, and then took the lead to continue to go deep into the lava plain.
"Second Elder, are you going to let that kid get that ancient spiritual treasure?" After Fairy Gu Han and others walked away, Tian Jue Yao Ji behind Tianying Patriarch came to her side and said indignantly.
"Hehe, now he has Fairy Gu Han backing him up, so stay calm. We still need to cooperate later. As long as the cooperation ends, we can kill that guy and take away the many treasures on him." Tianying Patriarch was surprised to see the many spiritual treasures on Xiao Lin, and listed him as a must-kill target in his mind.
"Second Elder is wise."
"Hehe, that ancient spiritual treasure that can emit the netherworld fire is extremely important to this elder. Once the two sides start fighting later, Elder Cen must help this elder to seize the ancient spiritual treasure." This sentence was said by Tianying Patriarch to Tianjue Yaofei through the secret art of sound transmission.
"Second elder, rest assured. As long as you get this ancient spiritual treasure, you will no longer be afraid of the Jade Demon. Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Concubine and the Jade Demon have always been at odds. When the time comes, they will both be defeated, and the second elder can reap the benefits, haha."
"That's good to know. Don't worry. Once the Jade Demon is eliminated and the worry of this seat is eliminated, the position of the Heavenly Demon Concubine will definitely be yours."
"Then I would like to thank the second elder first."
The rest of the people naturally did not know about the conversation between the Tianying Patriarch and the Tianjue Yaoji. They kept a distance of about 100 feet from Xiao Lin and others and just followed behind them.
Two days later.
Fairy Gu Han and others and Tianying Patriarch and others gathered together again. They looked at a huge tree at the edge of the sky and showed horrified expressions.
But in their eyes, there was excitement.
"Is that the Ghost King Tree?" Shui Ruohan's pretty face was full of surprise, and her eyes were shining with strange light.
Xiao Lin had also heard Shui Ruohan mention that the Ghost King Tree was a sacred tree in the netherworld. The real Ghost King Tree was said to connect heaven and earth and the netherworld.
It was one of the sacred trees between heaven and earth. It was said that the Ghost King Tree grew by absorbing the souls of the dead. No matter whether it was a person or a cultivator, once they died, their souls would enter the netherworld.
Not all spirits could be reincarnated. Some souls would be transformed into ghosts, and some would gradually break apart due to their weak soul power, turning into pure soul power and returning to heaven and earth.
The Ghost King Tree grew by absorbing soul power. After countless years of growth, it would produce soul-grabbing beads, which could capture the souls of mortals and cultivators.
Moreover, the soul-grabbing beads themselves were also a magical tool condensed by soul power, which could be used to refine the legendary soul tool.
The soul tool was an alternative magical tool independent of the magical tools currently used in the cultivation world. Soul tools were also divided into two types: attack and defense. However, the attack and defense of soul tools were directly applied to the divine mind.
For cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, the carrier of their divine thoughts is the soul, which is hidden deep inside the Nascent Soul. As the cultivator's realm improves, the Nascent Soul will continue to grow. With each realm upgrade, the Nascent Soul will grow one inch. For cultivators who have cultivated to the peak of the Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul can reach four inches.
According to rumors, if a cultivator can cultivate to the peak of the God Transformation, the Nascent Soul in his body will be the same size as the body. At this time, the Nascent Soul of a cultivator at the God Transformation stage is completely stable, and with the ability to teleport, he can come and go almost at will, and there will be nothing in this mortal world that can restrict him.
Xiao Lin is naturally full of yearning for this realm, but throughout the ages, although there are many inspirational stories of cultivators advancing to the God Transformation stage, after advancing to the God Transformation stage, these people will inexplicably disappear in front of people and disappear without a trace.
For Xiao Lin, it is basically impossible to know the secrets without cultivating to that level.
It is said that the power of divine thoughts is an extension of soul power. The two complement each other. Therefore, once a soul weapon is trained and used to attack the enemy, the attack will directly affect the enemy's divine thoughts.
Even a cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul only has a very limited divine thought defense power. Only a great cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul can use the power of divine thoughts to condense into a divine thought blade to attack the enemy.
But this kind of attack is also very limited. Usually, unless the enemy is two realms lower than the enemy, it can only temporarily paralyze the enemy's divine thoughts and make him dizzy.
Real soul weapons, like magic weapons, are divided into four types: primary, intermediate, advanced and top-grade. However, even a primary soul weapon is enough to severely damage the divine thoughts of a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul.
This is the terrifying thing about soul weapons.
So when everyone saw the towering ancient tree on the horizon, they all showed ecstatic expressions. If they could obtain the Soul-Capturing Pearl and use it to refine a Horcrux, they would at least be able to ensure that they would have no worries when facing enemies of the same level. .
"I didn't expect that the Ghost King Tree actually existed. I always thought it was just a legend." Lin Cang said in surprise.
"The real Ghost King Tree is rumored to grow in the Netherworld. Even if the one in front of you is real, it is just a root of the real Ghost King Tree." Fairy Gu Han said lightly.
When everyone heard this, they all gasped inwardly. One root was so huge, and how amazing was the real Ghost King Tree? Could it really be able to grow to penetrate many realms?
Everyone couldn't believe this.
Even Xiao Lin couldn't believe that there really was such a sacred tree in the world.
Since the Ghost King Tree has appeared, it means that the Ten Thousand Ghost Ponds should be nearby. According to legend, the Ghost King Tree can grow only by providing nutrients through the Ten Thousand Ghost Ponds.
"But everyone must be extremely careful. As long as the soul-capturing beads on the Ghost King Tree have not left the Ghost King Tree, they have extremely strong soul-capturing power. Once they are too close, even Nascent Soul cultivators like me may be captured instantly. The soul becomes a corpse.”
After a pause, the ancestor of Tianying continued: "Besides, it is recorded in ancient books that there are soul beasts living under the Ghost King Tree and beside the Ten Thousand Ghost Ponds.
Soul beasts come and go without a trace, and are good at capturing the souls of immortal cultivators. Fairy Guhan and I still have some resistance. You must be extremely careful when you are in the early and middle stages. You must stand by me later. Behind the two of you, Fairy Guhan, you must not blindly step forward. I have made it clear in advance, otherwise I will be the one to blame for your soul being captured. "
When Xiao Lin heard this, his heart moved. Whether it was a soul-capturing bead or a soul beast, they were all spiritual attacks. For ordinary cultivators, they were naturally unable to resist. However, after practicing the Heaven-Mending Sutra, with his current spiritual thoughts, The power can already condense the storm of spiritual thoughts, and can resist the attacks of spiritual thoughts to a certain extent.
Although it is not as good as later cultivators such as Fairy Guhan and Ancestor Tianying, it is still similar.
I thought that even if I was attacked by a spirit beast, I would be able to protect myself to a certain extent.
But he obviously had no intention of getting ahead, and he still stood behind Fairy Guhan. The Tian Mending Sutra was his secret, and except for Lin Xueying, even his precious disciples didn't know it.
Moreover, he knew very well that if the Mending Heaven Scripture was really leaked, he would probably immediately become the target of public criticism, and he would not expect how powerful enemies would be attracted by then.
In order to keep this secret, he even did not hesitate to kill the Qishan ancestor of the Beilan Sect.
Fairy Guhan sacrificed a defensive magic weapon and led everyone to fly away towards the Ghost King Tree on the horizon. The people of Liudao Kui Demon Palace and Xingkong Island followed closely behind the ancestor of Tianying.
It seemed that the distance was not far away, but everyone fled for a full hour before arriving at a distance of several hundred feet in front of the Ghost King Tree.
Everyone was shocked to see the Ghost King Tree at such a close distance. The Ghost King Tree was completely black and shiny, with only the texture on the leaves showing a dark red color.
When everyone looked at the Ghost King Tree, they couldn't see how high it was. They only felt that it had already penetrated the sky and penetrated deeply into the blood clouds thousands of feet high in the sky.
It was impossible for anyone to estimate the height of the Ghost King Tree.
And the coverage range is also extremely astonishing. The trunk alone is probably dozens of miles in diameter, and thousands of feet above the trunk, some branches begin to separate, tightly surrounding the main pole, extending out, covering a range of no less than a thousand miles.
Everyone had never seen such a wonder of heaven and earth before. They all stared at the Ghost King Tree in stunned silence for a long time.
Even the two late Nascent Soul cultivators, Fairy Guhan and Ancestor Tianying, were no exception.
"My God, it's so tall. How many years does it take to grow?" Shui Ruohan murmured to himself with a dazed expression on his pretty face.
"It seems that this is really the Ghost King Tree. Otherwise, how could ordinary trees grow so strong and tall?"
"Second aunt, be careful."
Shui Ruohan suddenly shouted.
Fairy Guhan also reacted very quickly. With a flash of green light on her body, she had already retreated dozens of feet.
When Xiao Lin and others saw Fairy Guhan ducking away, they also activated their escape lights and scattered in all directions.
"Soul beast." Shui Ruohan pointed dozens of feet away, and when everyone looked carefully, they discovered that there was a dark shadow there. The appearance of this shadow could not be seen clearly, but every ten breaths , a green light will flash.
It's just that this green light is very faint. If you don't look carefully, it's easy to miss it. After that, it turns into a transparent and faint black shadow. It sways slightly and then disappears.
Xiao Lin understood that this soul beast would only show traces when it was still, and when it attacked, it would turn into an invisible state, making it difficult for people to guard against it.
"Everyone gather behind me." Ancestor Tianying looked gloomy and shouted.
Everyone, including Fairy Lone Han, did not hesitate at all and rushed behind the ancestor Tianying. At this moment, the black star ring in the ancestor's hand flashed, and an emerald green doll appeared.
This emerald green doll is crystal clear, as if it were carved from a piece of jade. It is chubby and has an innocent smile on its face.
But if you look carefully, you can see that there is a cross-cut crack on the belly of this emerald green doll, which makes this piece of beautiful jade suddenly lose a bit of color, and its eyes are closed tightly. The smile on his face was actually a bit weird.
"It turns out that Fellow Taoist Tianying actually has a broken soul weapon in his hand. No wonder he is confident that he can resist the soul beast." Fairy Guhan said with a surprised expression on her face.
"Hehe, I accidentally auctioned this at an underground auction, and the power of my spiritual thoughts required to sacrifice it is too huge. Even if I consume all the power of my spiritual thoughts, It can’t be driven either, so I haven’t used it since I got it, and I don’t know how powerful it is. I just want to give this spirit beast a try today.”
Hearing what Patriarch Tianying said, Fairy Guhan behind her couldn't help but sneered. She obviously didn't believe what Patriarch Tianying said.
But Tianying Patriarch naturally couldn't see Fairy Guhan's expression.
"Later, you will inject all the power of your spiritual thoughts into the body of the green doll in front of me, and leave the rest to me."
After saying this, Patriarch Tianying closed his eyes and began to mutter something.
The rest of the people did not neglect, they all sent out their spiritual thoughts and injected them into the body of the emerald green doll.
Xiao Lin also radiated one-third of the power of his spiritual thoughts and injected it into the body of the emerald green doll according to the instructions of Patriarch Tianying. The emerald green doll immediately buzzed after being blessed by the power of everyone's divine thoughts.
Emitting a dazzling emerald green light, this emerald green light directly condensed into a light shield, expanded, and enveloped everyone in it in the blink of an eye.
As the emerald green doll emits a thick green light, illuminating the surrounding area for hundreds of feet, everyone's scalp tingles when they see that there are already a circle of soul beasts surrounding them. They are so densely packed that there may be dozens or hundreds of them.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but feel chills running down their spines. Except for Fairy Guhan, several female cultivators turned pale with fear.
At this time, Xiao Lin noticed that several groups of black shadows rushed towards the crowd, but when they hit the emerald green light shield, they made a faint "whoosh" sound.
Then it shot towards the distance suddenly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Everyone felt relieved when they saw that the green light shield emitted by the emerald green doll could resist the attack of the soul beast.
At the same time, he continued to inject the power of his spiritual thoughts into the emerald green doll without any hesitation.
The green light on the emerald green doll became more and more intense. After lasting for a while, the closed eyes suddenly opened.
The moment the emerald green doll opened its eyes, two emerald-green rays of light suddenly shot out. Several soul beasts in front were immediately illuminated by the light, and then disappeared silently.
