Chapter 222 : The Hundred Thousand Souls Banner
Chapter 222: The Hundred Thousand Souls Banner
The four Nether Spring Sect disciples dressed in black robes nodded in satisfaction after slaughtering all the Righteous Path cultivators below.
Soon afterward, the three of them suddenly felt their Ten Thousand Souls Banners begin to tremble slightly.
Upon seeing this, they immediately exchanged glances before flashing into one of the halls on Floating Cloud Mountain and entering closed-door cultivation.
Meanwhile, after rushing to several different locations in succession, Lu Xueqi and Xiao Yicai discovered that those Blood Demons had seemingly vanished overnight, never appearing again to commit evil deeds.
This left Lu Xueqi slightly puzzled. Could it be that after she killed Li Yong, those people had sensed something and hidden themselves away?
Although she was somewhat confused, there was nothing she could do about it.
After pondering briefly, she brought Xiao Yicai back to the Qingyun Sect.
After all, if those people truly intended to hide themselves, there was very little they could do while remaining outside.
Those individuals were extremely powerful, possessing at least Supreme Purity Realm cultivation or above. As long as they did not reveal themselves voluntarily, no one could detect their whereabouts.
At this moment, inside a hall on Floating Cloud Mountain, the four Nether Spring Sect disciples frowned slightly.
The Seventh Senior Brother looked at the three junior brothers below him and said, “Junior Brothers, although our trip to Floating Cloud Mountain yielded decent results, these so-called Righteous Path cultivators were somewhat lacking in strength.
Although there were over a thousand of them, only three or four had truly reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.
After killing them, their souls are still insufficient to transform all four of our Ten Thousand Souls Banners. Therefore, we need to make a decision.”
The other three immediately nodded before asking the Seventh Senior Brother, “Seventh Senior Brother, what are your thoughts?”
After hearing their question, the man known as Seventh Senior Brother replied,
“My plan is for Eighth Junior Brother and me to transform our Ten Thousand Souls Banners into Hundred Thousand Souls Banners first. Once the two of us break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, we'll find more powerful souls for the two of you and help your Ten Thousand Souls Banners evolve into Hundred Thousand Souls Banners.”
Although the remaining two felt slightly dissatisfied upon hearing Seventh Senior Brother's proposal, they also knew it was the best course of action.
After pondering briefly, they both bowed and said,
“We shall follow Senior Brother's arrangements in all things.”
Hearing the agreement of the two junior brothers, Seventh Senior Brother nodded in satisfaction.
He then turned toward the somewhat thin man beside him.
“Eighth Junior Brother, in that case, the two of us shall break through first and transform our Ten Thousand Souls Banners.”
The man addressed as Eighth Junior Brother could not help but reveal excitement in his eyes.
As long as the Ten Thousand Souls Banner could completely evolve into a Hundred Thousand Souls Banner, their cultivation would naturally advance into the Nascent Soul Realm.
One had to know that even on their own continent, the Nascent Soul Realm stood among the highest levels of existence.
Thinking of this, he became even more excited.
“Yes, Senior Brother.”
The other two black-robed men then reluctantly waved their right hands, and their two Ten Thousand Souls Banners silently appeared.
Forming hand seals, countless souls poured out from within their banners.
Seeing this, Seventh Senior Brother and Eighth Junior Brother also formed hand seals. Two enormous Ten Thousand Souls Banners appeared behind them, absorbing all the souls transferred from their two junior brothers.
After absorbing those souls, the two Ten Thousand Souls Banners immediately began emitting a faint silver radiance, while their entire bodies trembled continuously.
Seeing this, the two Nether Spring Sect disciples who had received the souls were overjoyed.
They hurriedly said to the other two,
“Junior Brothers, go outside and stand guard for us. The two of us will first refine our Ten Thousand Souls Banners into Hundred Thousand Souls Banners here. Once we've broken through, we'll come out.”
The other two junior brothers immediately nodded before flashing out of the hall.
Seventh Senior Brother then said to the other,
“Junior Brother, since that's settled, let's begin refining the Ten Thousand Souls Banners.” (For an exhilarating reading experience, visit!)
The other immediately nodded.
“Yes, Senior Brother.”
The two then began forming hand seals, following the records of the Nether Spring Sect as they continuously refined souls and forged the magical treasure.
Time quietly flowed by, and more than a month passed in silence.
At this moment, two tremendously violent explosions suddenly echoed from within the hall.
Immediately afterward, black qi spread across Floating Cloud Mountain, while ghostly qi surged into the heavens. Boundless black qi instantly enveloped the entire mountain.
In a single instant, every living creature throughout the mountain died.
The blood within their corpses was completely drained, while all the vegetation seemed to have its life force extracted in an instant, turning into ashes that scattered into the air.
Outside the hall, the other two Nether Spring Sect disciples guarding the entrance were overjoyed when they witnessed this scene.
One of them exclaimed,
“Seventh Senior Brother's and Eighth Senior Brother's Ten Thousand Souls Banners are about to advance!”
The other also nodded excitedly.
“That's right! A Hundred Thousand Souls Banner! In the past, only the Sect Master and the Ancestors could refine such a supreme treasure. I never expected Seventh Senior Brother and Eighth Senior Brother to succeed. This is wonderful!”
Thinking of the Ten Thousand Souls Banners in their own possession, excitement also filled their eyes.
As long as they continued refining their banners for some more time and absorbed the souls of more powerful beings, they too would be able to refine Hundred Thousand Souls Banners. At that time, they would possess such supreme treasures as well and would also have the opportunity to break directly into the Nascent Soul Realm.
While the two were celebrating outside, inside the hall, the Seventh and Eighth disciples of the Nether Spring Sect were likewise radiating brilliant divine light as they stared fervently at the two enormous banners before them.
At this moment, black qi swirled around the Hundred Thousand Souls Banners, yet the bodies of the banners shimmered with streams of silver light, appearing incomparably profound and mysterious.
At the very instant the Ten Thousand Souls Banners transformed into Hundred Thousand Souls Banners, an incomparably vast power suddenly surged out from within the banners and poured into the bodies of the two men, causing their expressions to change slightly before turning into overwhelming joy, for they knew this was the feedback granted by the Hundred Thousand Souls Banners after their transformation.
The two immediately sat down cross-legged and began refining this power.
Time quietly flowed on, and another month passed.
Within the hall, the auras of the two men became increasingly profound.
At a certain moment, a black whirlwind suddenly rose between heaven and earth, carrying within it an incomparably terrifying devouring force.
The moment this devouring force appeared, it completely swallowed all the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth.
Immediately afterward, an endless tide of energy erupted within the hall, while two gigantic humanoid phantom projections silently appeared.
These two humanoid phantom projections were incomparably massive, standing proudly between heaven and earth like towering giants supporting the sky.
At the same time, behind the two men, two gigantic demonic banners quietly emerged, releasing ghostly wails that made them appear like Demonic Gods themselves.
