Chapter 771 Chapter 773 The Black Mist Spreads
Rong Xianxian's soul was connected to the spirit seed. While she assisted the spirit seed in devouring the soul of the cultivator that was pulled in, she also helped the Soul-Devouring Sword to resist the fierce counterattack from the cultivator trapped in the sword.
They rushed around, looking for a way out. The blade of the Soul-Devouring Sword was repeatedly stretched, bent, and changed shape. Rong Xianxian was once worried that the Soul-Devouring Sword would break due to the pressure. Rong Xianxian's soul was connected to the Soul-Devouring Sword, which made her very uncomfortable. Although the special substance in the blade of the Soul-Devouring Sword dispersed the souls of those cultivators to ensure that the spirit seed would face a single soul each time.
However, the soul of a cultivator in the Life Fire Realm was only one step away from concentrating and taking shape, and was therefore extremely difficult to deal with. Yang Tianqin must have practiced techniques to strengthen the power of his soul, and his soul power was pure and powerful. It took a long time to wash away his emotional memories and devour his soul. The process was extremely long, and Rong Xianxian was tense and did not dare to relax at all.
As each soul was devoured by the spirit seed, the spirit seed became stronger and stronger, and Rong Xianxian also received the soul power in return. The exhausted soul was nourished and regained his fighting power. As time went on, the war became easier, contrary to the initial tense state. At the same time, the spine of the Soul-Devouring Sword became thicker, and the viscous substance inside became denser. There were conical spikes protruding from the spine, and each spike was an independent cage.
The blade of the Soul-Devouring Sword became sharper, until later, the entire blade seemed to be coated with a layer of white light. This layer of white light seemed to be condensed by invisible murderous aura, and one would be stung by the light at a glance.
After all the souls in the Soul-Devouring Sword were devoured by the spirit seed, Rong Xianxian's soul returned to her body.
After this battle, the Soul-Devouring Sword seemed to have undergone a tempering process. The blade was thinner and the tip was sharper. Perhaps because of the previous battle side by side, Rong Xianxian's perception of the Soul-Devouring Sword became closer. Originally, she needed to sense the inside of the Soul-Devouring Sword through the spirit seed, but now, the Soul-Devouring Sword seemed to have become a part of her body. She was very familiar with every inch of the blade. She could even control the Soul-Devouring Sword to enlarge or shrink it and change it into any shape.
The spirit seed devoured the souls of more than a dozen Life Fire Realm cultivators and seemed to have reached the point of a breakthrough, so it fell into a dormant state. Rong Xianxian changed the Soul-Devouring Sword into the shape of a hairpin and inserted it into her hair.
She came to the Tianyu Crystal House to check on Ning Qingyun's condition. Ever since Ning Qingyun took the ten thousand year old purple blood ginseng, Ning Qingyun's physical condition has been getting better day by day. Although his meridians are still blocked, his qi bridge is broken, and his dantian is shattered, his muscles and bones are getting stronger day by day. Now his physical strength and defense are stronger than those of ordinary blood refining realm cultivators.
Seeing that Ning Qingyun was fine, Rong Xianxian felt relieved. She looked at the external environment through the external visual area of the domain stone, and saw that the surroundings were all black scorched earth. It seemed that the fire had been extinguished and the smoke had dissipated. Rong Xianxian looked down at the time and found that three days had passed since the battle.
After Rong Xianxian left the foggy space, she looked at the bumpy and dark ground beneath her feet. The people who had besieged her before had their souls trapped, and their bodies had long been burned to ashes in the fire. However, the weapons and space items they carried with them were not afraid of fire and were preserved intact.
Among the piles of ashes, Rong Xianxian found more than a dozen space rings, three space jade bracelets, a dozen swords and weapons, and the dome-shaped jar in the hand of the woman in red that could release poisonous insects.
Rong Xianxian picked up a space ring at random and checked the items inside. She saw that it was full of sparkling spirit stones. Although most of them were medium and low-grade spirit stones, Rong Xianxian was still very excited. She looked at the other space items and thought to herself that killing and robbing was indeed a shortcut to getting rich.
While Rong Xianxian was sweeping the ancient realm in search of the Soul-Shaping Grass, an extremely arduous cleanup operation that lasted half a year had just ended on Earth.
The landing of alien invaders is becoming more and more frequent, the environment on Earth is changing all the time, the ecological environment is unstable, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, hurricanes, geological disasters and meteorological disasters occur from time to time, all kinds of strange and special secret realms emerge, the more wars are fought, the more people die, the army is short of manpower, and can only continue to expand. The situation within the military is becoming more and more complicated, and all parties are maintaining a superficial balance through trial and compromise.
The atmosphere in the meeting room of the Jincheng Central Military Headquarters was subtle.
The batch of soul jades that Rong Xianxian had brought back before had been completely consumed. New weapons such as beast soul armor, soul detectors, and soul-fixing crystals relied on soul jades to provide energy or as important materials. Without the soul jades, the development and maintenance of these new weapons were in trouble.
The black fog emitted from the Black Fog Ridge has engulfed the two large security zones connected to the Gushizhai security zone. Everyone in this conference room knows that the soul jade they have been craving for is mined in the black fog area.
However, a month ago, the military sent more than a dozen elite teams to carry out the mission, with a total of several hundred people, but less than ten people came back alive. These people all showed varying degrees of amnesia and symptoms of madness, and did not bring back any useful information.
"Chairman Jing, I think that under the current situation, no matter what mission Major General Rong is carrying out, it is not as important as mining the Soul Jade. If the Soul Jade is not replenished, will we be able to hold on when the next space rift strikes?" Cheng Ying, commander of the Second Legion, said excitedly.
"Since Commander Cheng is so concerned about the country and the people, why doesn't he send his elite troops into Black Mist Ridge to mine for soul jade?" President Jingyuan's voice was calm, and no emotion could be heard.
"Everyone knows that the previous Soul Jade was brought out by Major General Rong. Wasn't it because of this merit that Major General Rong was promoted by the president as an exception? Therefore, Major General Rong is the best candidate." Cheng Ying said as a matter of course.
"Major General Rong has other important tasks to perform now and cannot carry out this mission. With hundreds of thousands of elite generals and soldiers in the army, we will definitely be able to pick out more suitable candidates to carry out this task. Today, I have specially found Dean Wang from the Yisheng Academy and two researchers under him. These two researchers have carried out the Gushizhai mission with Major General Rong. Let's all listen to their experiences at that time!" After President Jingyuan finished speaking, he glanced at the people around him. The assistant beside him got up and left, and after a while he led three people in.
Dean Wang calmly greeted the military leaders present. The two researchers under him lowered their heads and hunched their shoulders, obviously a little nervous.
"Dean Wang, Major General Rong told me that she was able to safely transfer the survivors in the Gushizhai area. The two researchers you sent helped a lot. Can you tell us about the situation at that time?" President Jingyuan asked very politely.
