Most of the magical treasures in the world possess spirits.

Even some magical treasures and artifacts, under certain circumstances, can develop spirituality. This requires extremely high standards, and in terms of difficulty, it is far more difficult than the spirituality of immortal artifacts.

This is because the materials used in immortal artifacts are mostly extremely rare, and some even possess immortal properties, remaining undamaged even after thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Having withstood the test of time for so long, even without any special circumstances, a celestial artifact can naturally develop a spiritual nature. Not to mention celestial artifacts, even ordinary mortal artifacts, if they can endure such a long period of time without damage, can also develop a spiritual nature.

Aside from this method of nurturing spirits, which best aligns with the natural evolution of heaven and earth, there is another, even more harmful method: forcibly imbuing magical artifacts with spirits.

That involves forcibly injecting the soul of a living being into an object to make it fit, thereby enhancing the power of the magical artifact. However, this method is an evil one.

Most of the magical artifacts they create are inferior, capable of bullying ordinary magical tools. However, if they were to face a magical artifact imbued with spirituality through righteous methods, they would mostly be utterly defeated.

However, nothing is absolute. Not all magical treasures made with evil methods are inferior to those orthodox spiritual treasures. If the materials are extremely compatible, their power may even surpass them.

For example, if the dragon soul is infused into the dragon pearl that the dragon nurtured and refined during its lifetime, its power will inevitably surpass that of ordinary magical artifacts, and only higher-grade magical artifacts can rival it.

Therefore, all methods can be used depending on the situation. In certain special circumstances, they may produce unexpected results and yield extremely rich rewards.

At this moment, Feng Bingwen stared at the large seal in his hand, lost in thought, seemingly making a choice. However, his internal struggle did not last long, and he quickly made a decision.

"Amitabha, it seems that I did not agree to let this person be reborn as a human. Arranging for him to become the spirit of my precious seal does not mean that I have broken my promise!"

Feng Bingwen murmured to himself, a calm and composed smile naturally appearing on his face. Then, he reached into the void in front of him and gently pulled out a broken but still dignified soul.

What do you want to do?

The mountain lord, who was still basking in the joy of surviving, suddenly sensed something was wrong. In particular, when he saw the bright yellow seal held up by Feng Bingwen in his other hand, his ominous premonition intensified.

"Don't panic, I'm merely fulfilling a promise I made not long ago. Now, I'll grant you a new life!"

"No, wait, don't do this!"

The remnant soul of the Mountain Lord sensed something and cried out in terror, begging for mercy.

However, even when his body was still intact, he had no right to bargain with Feng Bingwen. Now that he was just a remnant soul, the sounds he made were completely ignored by Feng Bingwen, who continued to cast spells, forming hand seals and then injecting them into his soul, hoping to make him completely at his beck and call and never have any disloyal thoughts.

You lied to me!

Seeing the seals descending upon him, the Lord of the Mountain roared in grief and indignation, though he did not understand the meaning of these characters, the powerful force condensed on them was real.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain. He could only watch helplessly as the flaws in his soul were filled one by one, and his soul gradually became more solid.

But this was not a good thing for him. As his soul was repaired, he could feel himself losing control of his soul. He began to experience again the feeling of his body being dominated by the will of heaven and earth.

However, unlike before, when the will of heaven and earth eroded his body, he was in a deep sleep and knew nothing. When he woke up, everything was already set in stone, and the only thing he could do was to abandon everything to survive.

Now, he was even more helpless, forced to watch as this extraterrestrial being toyed with his soul, slowly eroding it. His resistance and roars were utterly futile; in fact, they seemed to only make the creature more pleased.

As the previously broken soul was repaired, the already majestic and powerful soul of the mountain lord suddenly became almost tangible, with a powerful force surging within it, making it even more extraordinary.

"good!"

Holding the soul of the innate being in his hand, Feng Bingwen was extremely satisfied. The magic seal, forged from the essence of the body, combined with the soul, or rather the spirit of the artifact, which he had carefully refined, would surely create a celestial treasure of excellent quality.

"Liar! Shameless!"

The Lord of the Mountain roared hysterically, spitting out and insulting Feng Bingwen's shameless behavior. This was the only thing he could do now. He couldn't do anything else, even if he wanted to. He could self-destruct his soul when it was first taken out, but now he was truly powerless to do so.

"Why must you be so irritable, fellow Daoist?"

Feng Bingwen's smile was as warm as a spring breeze. When people are happy, they are in high spirits, and even this immortal was no exception.

He originally intended to erase the intelligence of this innate being, leaving only its soul, but then he thought that would be too boring, cruel, and inconsiderate.

Therefore, in the end, his intelligence and memories were preserved. His soul was simply repaired and refined using magic and incantations, and his control was strengthened to prevent him from even having the ability to self-destruct.

Judging from the nature of this guy, even if Feng Bingwen did such a thing to him, as long as there is still a chance to continue living, in order to gain limited freedom, this guy will eventually bow down and submit to him.

"I have given you a body that will last for eternity, sparing you the suffering of reincarnation. You should be happy, why do this and lose face? This is an opportunity for immortality, something many people would rather die than obtain!"

As he spoke, Feng Bingwen pressed the soul in his hand onto the seal. Being of the same origin, there was naturally no obstacle, and they merged together in perfect harmony. Boundless divine light erupted, and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers appeared within it, vast and boundless.

"Eternal? Hahahaha, you forged a weapon from my heart, then forcibly stuffed my soul inside, and you're telling me it's immortal?"

The Lord of the Mountain Range was furious. He could see that he had been tricked and fooled. This was the price he paid for trusting a being from another realm so easily, even though he had no choice.

"Isn't that so? I haven't lied to you in the slightest. If I were to let you enter the cycle of reincarnation, even after countless lifetimes, you would still find it difficult to regain this body. It's not like that at all!"
