Chapter 865 - 865: Soul Reading Technique (18th Update)
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, what kind of magical treasure is this, how can it have such formidable defensive power?" Ding Tianxia shouted in disbelief.
"Kill..."
Zhang Bin shouted, and together with Chiang Xue, they flew out.
Golden axes appeared in their hands, and they frantically slashed at the Immortal Slaying Cauldron.
"Boom..."
The sound of heaven collapsing and earth shattering erupted.
The Immortal Slaying Cauldron did not shatter but crashed onto the ground heavily, uttering unbearable whines.
Inside, Ding Tianxia spat blood wildly, his face ashen.
"Boom boom boom..."
Zhang Bin and Chiang Xue's bodies were strong, their power terrifying.
They continued to hack frenziedly.
"Ahhhhh..."
Ding Tianxia let out a heartrending scream.
Finally, he was blasted out like a dead dog.
Boom...
Zhang Bin cleaved fiercely at Ding Tianxia's arm with the axe.
Severing it.
Chiang Xue madly stomped on Ding Tianxia's abdomen.
Restraining his Dantian and Golden Core.
Having cultivated to the Complete Gold Core Stage, she was a realm higher than Ding Tianxia, sealing him was naturally within her capability.
Zhang Bin picked up Ding Tianxia's space ring, erasing the ownership mark.
Then he grabbed the Immortal Slaying Cauldron and similarly erased the ownership mark using a secret technique.
He then refined the Immortal Slaying Cauldron.
The Immortal Slaying Cauldron was a formidable defensive magical treasure, far superior to White Bone Peak.
Though not as good as City of Gold, it possessed a strong rebound force.
Very suitable for Zhang Bin's current use.
Zhang Bin didn't rush to kill Ding Tianxia, instead picking up the space rings and magical treasures of the two scoundrels.
Upon careful examination, his face showed delight.
Within Duanmu Kuangshi's space ring was a Silver Blade Charm, which would be one of his most powerful trump cards in the future.
Snake Youdu's space ring contained few exquisite treasures, evidently, his most formidable item was that Spatial Confinement Charm.
However, Zhang Bin found a Jade Scroll.
Surprisingly, it recorded the first four layers of the Soul Immortal Divine Technique.
With many special explanations and annotations, many miraculous cultivation methods and elixirs, even notes on methods and precautions for Soul Seizing.
Far from the simplicity of the first three layers that Hanbing Yun learned.
One could say, the first three layers Hanbing Yun learned were just a simplified version.
"The fourth layer requires forming a Soul Vein within the soul body?"
Zhang Bin's face showed surprise, as it was his first time hearing about Soul Veins.
It was exceedingly rare.
Immediately, a strong sense of joy surged in his heart. With this Jade Scroll, it was enough for him to cultivate for a long time.
Forming a Soul Vein was not easy.
From now on, Taiqing Sect will truly have a relatively complete cultivation method.
Of course, he knew the Soul Immortal Divine Technique surely had a fifth layer or more.
In the future, when he overthrows the Youming Sect, he could naturally obtain it.
No rush now.
Then he smiled at Ding Tianxia, who lay on the ground unable to move, and sarcastically said, "Ding Tianxia, why? Turned into a dead dog now? Weren't you very arrogant earlier? Wanting to destroy my soul, offering my body to Vice Sect Master She?"
"Zhang Bin, you're amazing, truly amazing, in three million years, you're the first genius so remarkable. Having reached the Golden Core Mid-Stage, you can refine high-grade magical artifacts, and even brought along another equally talented bodyguard. Actually escaping inevitable death." Ding Tianxia spoke resentfully.
He wasn't stupid; he finally understood that City of Gold was a high-grade magical artifact.
It completely overturned the rules of cultivation.
Actually, the Youming Sect's method for destroying genius souls was flawless.
Even if geniuses had bodyguards, those above Golden Core Realm cultivation level couldn't enter the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone.
Appearing in the zone would result in being slain by Bone Dragon.
Yet the three of them carried terrifying talismans, formidable in their own right.
No genius, no matter how talented, could overthrow the rules of cultivation, becoming strong enough to withstand the talisman attacks crafted by cultivators of the Union Realm.
How could it fail?
But Zhang Bin violated the rules of cultivation, at the Seed Condensing Mid-phase, he refined a high-grade defensive magical treasure.
His companion Chiang Xue was similarly a zombie who overturned cultivation rules.
Causing this unexpected result.
"I am amazing, there's no need for you to say so." Zhang Bin responded proudly, "Now tell me, how do you intend to die?"
"Zhang Bin, if you kill me, you will certainly die, with no way to survive."
Ding Tianxia's face turned pale.
"If I don't kill you, is there a way to live? Tell me, why?"
Zhang Bin's face showed an evil smile.
"You must swear not to kill me, then I'll reveal the reason."
Ding Tianxia proposed.
"Idiot." Zhang Bin sneered, "It's too easy for me to obtain your memories. Soul Reading Technique will do the job. If you don't want your soul to be scattered, then obediently confess everything. Reveal all the secrets you know."
Soul Capturing Technique was a vicious secret technique recorded in Snake Youdu's Jade Scroll.
Capable of reading a person's memories.
However, once read, the Moon Palace would collapse, causing the soul to scatter.
"You have not cultivated Soul Immortal Divine Technique, you absolutely cannot master Soul Reading Technique."
Ding Tianxia shouted in horror.
"Alas... Since you don't believe me, I'll just have to show you."
Zhang Bin touched his mute point, then tapped several times on his head.
Then he grabbed Ding Tianxia's head, True Qi surged out, entering his brain.
"Poof..."
Blood mist erupted from Ding Tianxia's mouth, his face was full of resentment and fear.
His limbs twitched uncontrollably.
After about an hour, Zhang Bin finished reading, and Ding Tianxia's Moon Palace completely collapsed, his soul scattering, dying terribly.
Then Zhang Bin's face turned ashen, gritting his teeth in anger.
Because he learned many secrets.
This guy wasn't Ding Tianxia, his name was Snake Chun, formerly a Living Ghost, having seized Ding Tianxia only a year ago.
The real Ding Tianxia was a supreme genius from China's Ding Tian Clan, deceived into entering the Youming Sect.
Afterwards, the experts of Youming Sect destroyed Ding Tianxia's soul.
Then Snake Chun occupied Ding Tianxia's body.
Having slain the soul, the remaining talented body with vitality was called a Cauldron.
They, the Living Ghosts, could infinitely occupy the body of the Cauldron.
This wasn't Soul Seizing, but soul rebirth.
So, it was not restricted by the rule that a soul can only seize once in a lifetime.
Any top genius deceived into the Youming Sect ends up as a Cauldron.
However, if Living Ghosts perform soul rebirth too many times, their soul becomes impure.
Because the body is still another's, different from one's own.
Polluting the soul, slowly weakening it.
Ultimately unable to be a Living Ghost.
Thus, most Living Ghosts of the Youming Sect wait for opportunities, only when a top genius appears and feels compatible with their soul do they extinguish the genius's soul, performing soul rebirth, allowing them longevity, living for several thousand years, pursuing Immortal Realm.
If they don't find a Cauldron matching their soul, they live as Living Ghosts, using Sacrificial Ghosts to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation. When it grows fierce enough, even Sacrificial Ghosts are unable to withstand, they seal themselves in special coffins, evading tribulations, waiting for chances.
"Poor Ding Tianxia! You died such a tragic death."
Tears nearly welled in Zhang Bin's eyes; Ding Tianxia was born carrying a Middle-Grade Magical Treasure.
A true talent, but tragically murdered by a Living Ghost...
