Chapter 781 - 374: Heaven-Imprisoning Ghost Eye, Corpse Ancestor Falls
The cultivation effect is actually twice that of the Formless Demon Corpse and the Five Yin Ghosts, able to refine ten thousand points of True Demonic Qi in a day.
According to Wen Jiu’s observations, the Three Thousand Blood Inks seems to be influenced by the Corpse Fate Technique; whereas the Blood Demon Undying Bone is influenced by the Acquired Divine Techniques of the Undying Demon Corpse, it’s not that the two corpses are inherently stronger than the Formless Demon Corpse and the Five Yin Ghosts.
"In this way, it aligns perfectly with what I want." The rapid advancement of the Three Thousand Blood Inks will greatly enhance the divination abilities of the Corpse Fate Technique. And as the Blood Demon Undying Bone grows stronger, it can devour more life essence.
Life essence can be used to accelerate the cultivation of Celestial Yin Demon Blood Medicine, Corpse Concealing Elixir, and better divine one’s own fortune and misfortune.
He also wants to try if it can be used to accelerate the cultivation of the True Spirit Demon Tree Mother Tree, producing more True Spirit Demon Tree Hearts.
As for the True Spirit Demon Tree Mother Tree.
There is also information displayed during the daily settlement.
[True Spirit Demon Tree Mother Tree]
[Grade: Unranked]
[Capable of devouring all energy. Whether celestial treasures or Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine, it can convert them into its own energy to cultivate the soul power of the True Spirit Demon God, while nurturing True Spirit Demon Tree Hearts within its body.]
[Note: If the soul power of the True Spirit Demon God within the True Spirit Demon Tree Mother Tree is erased, the tree will revert to an ordinary True Spirit Demon Tree.]
"Judging by the information on the daily settlement panel, the most important aspect of this True Spirit Demon Tree Mother Tree is actually the soul power of the True Spirit Demon God." Wen Jiu actually tried to control Divine Sense of the East Spring Undying Bone to probe the soul power within the True Spirit Demon Tree, but it always conveyed a disturbing feeling that stemmed from the depths of the soul.
However.
It’s merely an unease.
The fact that the soul power can be captured by East Spring Undying Bone’s Divine Sense means it can also be captured by the Soul Capturing Technique.
Since there is a precedent of obtaining the Extremely Evil Blood Sea True Technique Divine Techniques through devouring the True Spirit Demon Tree Heart, Wen Jiu thought about directly capturing its soul.
But from the current perspective, if he wants to cultivate the True Spirit Demon Tree Heart, it seems he must abandon this idea.
"Is it better to feast all at once, or to savor it slowly? That is the question." Wen Jiu fell into contemplation.
After pondering for a long time, Wen Jiu decided to savor it slowly for the time being.
The small soul seals within the True Spirit Demon Tree Heart all contain the legacy of the True Spirit Demon Tree.
That soul power within the True Spirit Demon Tree likely contains much more, which, with his current strength, he cannot digest in one gulp.
Direct soul capturing would most likely result in acquiring a heap of things that can only be observed for now but cannot be used or cultivated.
Of course.
The most important reason is that the Corpse Fate Technique cannot predict fortune or misfortune; the result of divining the True Spirit Demon God’s soul power within the True Spirit Demon Tree Mother Tree oscillates between fortune and misfortune. It might actually be neither fortunate nor unfortunate.
Or perhaps the Corpse Fate Technique currently cannot predict the true outcome.
Whatever the reason, this is why Wen Jiu decided to savor it slowly.
Following this.
Wen Jiu looked at the information obtained after acquiring the Ghost Eye.
[Heaven-Imprisoning Ghost Eye]
[Grade: Tier Four Lower Grade]
[Originates from a Tier Four Peak Heaven-Trapping Ghost Fiend, containing the power of the Heaven-Trapping Restriction. But this eye has completely lost the essence of the Heaven-Trapping Ghost Fiend, reduced to an ordinary Tier Four entity. Although it can still release the power of the Heaven-Trapping Restriction, even Nascent Soul True Monarchs can capture and imprison it.]
"It’s actually a Tier Four artifact!"
Wen Jiu was somewhat delighted.
The most crucial point is that it is a Ghost Fiend item; the evolutionary path of the Five Yin Ghosts is towards the Celestial Yin Ghost Fiend.
Following this, Wen Jiu’s gaze lingered on the words ’Tier Four Peak’, "A Tier Four Peak Ghost Fiend, how powerful must that be?"
It’s probably atop the pinnacle of the Hundred Floating Domains, right?
"So powerful, yet still dead." Wen Jiu couldn’t help but sigh, then extended his Divine Sense to begin researching the power of the Heaven-Trapping Restriction. At the same time, he released the Five Yin Ghosts to observe their reactions upon seeing the Heaven-Imprisoning Ghost Eye.
As expected.
Upon seeing the Heaven-Imprisoning Ghost Eye, even though most of the Ghost Fiend’s aura had dissipated, it still startled the Five Yin Ghosts, yet what erupted immediately was the excitement similar to when East Spring Undying Bone sensed the True Spirit Demon Tree.
From their instinctual excitement, Wen Jiu could perceive a piece of information — the Five Yin Ghosts wanted to refine the Heaven-Imprisoning Ghost Eye.
Without hesitation, Wen Jiu directly permitted the Five Yin Ghosts to devour the Heaven-Imprisoning Ghost Eye, as the eye was of little use to him.
Tier Four or not.
The power it could exert was still within the boundary of Tier Three, even the strength of Golden Core Perfection could break it.
"I wonder if the Five Yin Ghosts will obtain the power of the Heaven-Trapping Restriction by devouring the Heaven-Imprisoning Ghost Eye."
If they could.
The power of the Heaven-Trapping Restriction, combined with the Yin Five Elements Ghost Qi, plus the assistance of the Law-Devouring Yin Insect, the Five Yin Ghosts could hold their ground independently in the future. The most important aspect is that the power of the Heaven-Trapping Restriction is indeed an excellent ability for imprisoning cultivators.
Unless broken directly.
No other method would provide an escape.
...
Meanwhile.
The sudden extinguishing of Gu Qinghe’s Life Soul Lamp in the Spirit Control Department left the cultivators there at a loss.
The current situation was already worsening, and now the death of a late-stage Golden Core Cultivator was a blow to the Spirit Control Department, and likewise a nightmare for the entire West Mountain Floating Domain.
The cultivators of the Spirit Control Department immediately relayed this incident to the other three Fate officers, but before the three could react.
The news of Spirit Suppressing General Nangong Huan’s Life Soul Lamp going out followed and spread rapidly.
Deng Lai and his group, who were jointly supporting each other in pursuing the Dark Altar Demon Cultivator, finally feeling satisfied, were stunned at the news.
The two to three hundred thousand survivors of the Spirit Suppressing Army were equally so, thinking they had finally seen daylight breaking through the clouds, foiling the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect’s plot, only for events to suddenly plunge downwards.
The Spirit Suppressing General had fallen!
Upon receiving this news, the Lu Family Elders couldn’t bother with other matters and quickly returned to the clan grounds to meet Lu Feng.
They were aware of the situation in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, a source of some concern. It was only with difficulty that the Lu Family managed to rise, but now, upon hearing of the death of Spirit Suppressing General Nangong Huan, how could they remain calm?
"Ancestor!"
"Ancestor!"
Lu Taixuan and his group were all gathered outside Lu Feng’s courtyard at this moment.
Lu Changyin was also present.
Upon hearing the news, he immediately contacted the Dark Altar Lineage’s Demon Cultivators, only to find more chaos there.
Lu Feng opened the door and stepped out, looking solemn, "Cease all other activities, pack your things, and prepare to migrate eastward."
Upon hearing this.
Lu Taixuan and the others’ faces changed dramatically.
The Lu Family had just achieved such a big victory, it was a time to prosper, but for the ancestor to suddenly suggest an eastern migration, doesn’t it imply...
At this moment, more Lu Family members hurriedly arrived to report the news of Gu Qinghe’s death to the Spirit Control Department.
The Lu Family members in the Spirit Control Department were the ones who had spread the news.
Upon learning this, Lu Taixuan and the others’ faces turned particularly unsightly, and none of them were able to utter a single word.
Such an abrupt shift.
It was simply too absurd.
Lu Feng spoke in a grave tone, "Do not spread this news, nor should you inform the clansmen of our eastward migration, just have them prepare their belongings."
Lu Taixuan quickly spoke, "Ancestor, I fear this news is impossible to conceal. Within days, the deaths of Nangong Huan and Gu Qinghe will spread among those of the Golden Core Influence, and our sudden preparation to relocate will..."
"We have no other choice."
Lu Feng said no more.
He ignored Lu Taixuan and the others and turned back into the house.
Lu Taixuan and the rest exchanged looks, finally understanding why the ancestor had sent Lu Chan away to the East Splendor Divine Palace earlier.
It was in anticipation of this day.
The ancestor must have long received word from the Corpse Ancestor.
"Move, move, move!"
"Quickly have the clansmen start packing, three late-stage Golden Core cultivators fallen in an instant, who knows how long the West can hold!"
Lu Taixuan and the others scattered in panic.
Lu Changyin did not leave, instead waiting outside the courtyard.
A moment later.
After receiving a voice transmission, Lu Changyin entered the house where Lu Feng showed none of the previous solemnity.
"Changyin, go assist Lu Chan immediately. The Corpse Ancestor mentioned it’s of utmost importance if he doesn’t fake his death, the Lu Family will face greater troubles."
Lu Changyin hastily transmitted a query, "Ancestor, are Nangong Huan and Gu Qinghe truly dead?"
Lu Feng nodded, "The Corpse Ancestor transmitted the message confirming it. Remember, only Lu Chan, you, and I know of this matter."
Lu Changyin sighed in relief.
He clasped his fists, then departed.
Meanwhile, having observed the growing unrest within the Lu Family, other Golden Core Clans also began to stir.
The Lu Family hadn’t announced the demise of the Corpse Ancestor.
But because of this, they were certain the Lu Family’s Corpse Ancestor had indeed fallen.
Why else would the Lu Family be so perturbed?
