Normally, a practitioner must enter the realm of transformation before he is qualified to give birth to his primordial spirit and gain all kinds of extraordinary magical powers.
Such a person could be called a great monk even in the heyday of cultivation ten thousand years ago.
The Yuanshen Pearl in Shen Yuan's hand is just as its name suggests, a special treasure that can give birth to a person's Yuanshen out of thin air.
However, unlike the soul born from a great cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm, the soul born from refining the soul beads is not a true soul.
It is more like a false soul that gathers divine thoughts for sublimation and thus possesses some of the characteristics of the soul.
He only possesses some of the qualities of the primordial spirit, but is unable to display its various magical powers.
But this does not mean that the Yuanshenzhu is useless.
At least for cultivators below the Spirit Transformation Realm, the Soul Pearl is still a rare treasure. It allows one to refine a fake Soul in advance so as to comprehend some of the characteristics of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
The reason why Shen Yuan knew so much information about the Yuanshen Pearl was because someone had written in the Luoyun Sect's diary that the reward for first place in the Luoyun Sect's sect competition was a Yuanshen Pearl.
Those who were able to participate in the Luoyun Sect's sect competition ten thousand years ago were basically inner disciples who had taken the step to become Qi Refiners.
Once you win first place in the competition and obtain the Yuanshen Pearl, you can use the power of the Yuanshen Pearl to enter the Shenhua realm at the fastest speed and gain the qualification to compete for a position in the Zhenchuan Hall.
Therefore, even though the Yuanshen Pearl is only a reward for the sect competition, its significance is almost equivalent to a seat for true inheritance.
This was during the heyday of cultivation ten thousand years ago. Ten thousand years later when resources are scarce, the value of the Yuanshen Pearl must be even higher.
When Shen Yuan saw the relevant information, he was envious for a long time.
Unexpectedly, after participating in the ghost market, he could actually obtain a Yuanshen Pearl, which is absolutely a priceless treasure for Shen Yuan.
Satisfiedly, he put it into his storage ring, and the depression caused by escaping from the Ghost Market was slightly dissipated.
Looking around, Shen Yuan suddenly realized that he had been taken away from his original route by the ghost market and was in some desolate wilderness.
Below the mountain where Shen Yuan was standing, a large number of ordinary people were lying unconscious in a crooked manner. At a rough glance, there were hundreds of them.
Obviously, the Ghost Market agreed to the conditions proposed by Shen Yuan and released the ordinary people who were forcibly detained in the Ghost Market.
These ordinary people were all dressed in modern clothes. Except for a few who were missing limbs, most of them were in good condition. They just had been eroded to a certain extent by the ghost fog in the ghost market and their faces were a little pale.
Shen Yuan didn't care so much. It was a blessing for them to be able to get out of the ghost market alive.
If the four pavilion masters really continue to act like that, the best outcome for these people would be to turn into monsters that are neither human nor ghost and become part of the ghost market.
The divine consciousness strengthened by the seed of sword magic easily swept across the mountains. Shen Yuan did not find any ferocious beasts, snakes, insects or other creatures in this area.
It is estimated that because of the occupation of the ghost market, these ordinary animals have long been scared away and it is impossible for them to stay there. In the short term, this place is still safe.
Saving people is just following one's heart. Now that the matter here is over, there is no need for Shen Yuan to stay here any longer.
The ghost market here has caused such a big commotion that it will definitely attract official investigation. Shen Yuan does not want to confront the authorities directly.
Glancing at the dense forest ahead, Shen Yuan, who didn't know how to fly, felt a slight headache.
After a little thought, Shen Yuan's eyes fell on the Maine Coon cat beside him.
The Maine Coon cat is almost the same size as a tiger, and it has the natural ability to walk through forests and mountains as if it were flat ground. Isn’t it the best means of transportation?
There are definitely many immortals riding tigers in ancient myths and legends, and Shen Yuan is willing to give it a try.
"Lie down." The Maine Coon cat was stunned at first, then it crawled on the ground obediently, allowing Shen Yuan to sit on its back.
If it were anyone else, even a practitioner stronger than the Maine Coon, the pride in the Maine Coon's heart would make it fight the enemy to the death.
But after this trip to the ghost market, Shen Yuan's status in the Maine Coon's heart has been infinitely elevated. In the Maine Coon's view, being able to become Shen Yuan's mount is actually an honor for it.
As Shen Yuan sat down, the Maine Coon's feet created wind, and with the help of the power of the evil wind, it soared into the air, carrying Shen Yuan quickly into the distance.
At this moment, a man woke up from his coma.
He opened his blurry eyes and saw an immortal riding a majestic tiger flying in the sky under the bright moonlight.
In the early morning, the sun's rays just shone into the mountains. In this land that should have been uninhabited, many people of different identities gathered here.
There are the generals of the Zhennan Army representing the Great Xia court, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory garrisoning the Yunzhou Prefecture, the worshippers of the Zhennan Marquisate, the Taoists of Laojun Mountain, and the representatives of the Yunzhou family.
If these people were placed outside, they would all be big figures famous throughout Yunzhou, and their influence even far exceeds that of Yunzhou itself.
However, these big shots gathered in this desolate wilderness, looking at the barren mountain in front of them with serious expressions.
"Is the ghost market really gone?"
"This time the ghost market only lasted for less than twelve hours!"
“According to the Zhennan Army who arrived first, there are still more than a hundred survivors left in the Ghost Market.
These people include not only the local people of Yunzhou, but also the people who were taken away by the ghost market that appeared in Liangzhou half a month ago."
"Except for a very small number of people who lost some limbs, the rest of the people were intact, without even any sequelae of the ghost fog's erosion."
"How is this possible?"
"The ghost market has existed for thousands of years, and I have never heard of an ordinary person who accidentally entered the ghost market and was able to walk out alive."
Just as many important figures were discussing, a young monk in Taoist robes walked over from the camp of Anza in the distance.
The discussion stopped instantly and everyone's eyes turned to the young monk.
Being stared at by so many important figures, including some powerful ones who have already entered the Qi Transformation Realm, the young cultivator felt a lot of pressure in his heart.
Resisting the throbbing in his heart, the young monk spoke to the commander of the Zhennan Army in the center:
"General Yu, the survivors have been temporarily accommodated.
After several masters examined the souls of the survivors, they confirmed that they all came from the ghost market."
"As for why they left the Ghost Market, they actually don't know."
Although there had been speculations before, this statement still caused an uproar.
"How is that possible?"
"For an ordinary person to be able to leave the Ghost Market, there must be some hidden reason!"
“Three thousand years ago, my ancestor had a great cultivator who had reached the state of incarnation. When his life was about to end, he went to the ghost market to seek opportunities.
But even such a great monk was unable to leave the Ghost Market in the end, so how could those ordinary people do this now?"
"The Zhennan Army must be hiding something. We need the truth!"
