Chapter 519 Attacking the Red Poisonous Mountain Ridge 26
After finishing their discussion, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan shook their heads slightly, offering no further comment.
Wu Dongxiao didn't say much, just sighed and continued watching the battle between good and evil, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.
Heretical paths and unorthodox practices will always be so detestable.
However, their destructive power was too great. Even though the number of righteous cultivators was more than ten times that of them, they could not launch a large-scale battle against them without sufficient reason.
The righteous path barely manages to maintain a precarious balance.
Because when a powerful evil sect becomes unrestrained, it can easily slaughter cities and villages at will, devour blood and flesh to strengthen its power, and kill tens or hundreds of millions of people.
This time, the righteous victims took action against the culprits, which just happened to be "justified".
Otherwise, any rash and "unjustified" attack on the evil path—whether by a certain force or a certain cultivator—will become the key to unlocking the shackles of the evil path. From then on, the lives that the evil path has wantonly devoured will become a heavy burden on that force or that cultivator.
If you really want to eliminate evil...
A thought suddenly flashed through Wu Dongxiao's mind.
Perhaps, only by becoming the supreme being.
The legendary supreme beings must undergo nine tribulations of lightning to gain endless lifespan and, naturally, boundless power.
At that time, the entire continent will be under the influence of the Supreme Being's will.
Perhaps, the Supreme Being's will can suppress all evil paths in an instant and wipe them all out.
That way, evil cultivators won't have any chance to devour ordinary humans.
·
When Wu Dongxiao had this thought, the Zhong-Wu couple unconsciously glanced at him.
[Old Wu, I suddenly feel like Dong Xiao's protagonist aura has brightened up.]
Hmm, it's a bit too bright.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan exchanged another glance.
Actually, just now... this kid seemed to have developed a heavy aura.
Did he suddenly realize something?
Zhong Cai blinked.
Maybe it's the protagonist's realization or something...
Wu Shaogan winked at Zhong Cai.
He could tell what Zhong Cai was thinking just by looking at his expression.
The two turned around at the same time, looking at the battlefield.
·
The subsequent battle seemed to confirm Zhong Wufu's earlier suspicions.
As Zuo Hao's primordial spirit continued to resist Pei Xiaoling, its entire form became increasingly blurred.
The face was completely obscured, and the figure was only vaguely visible.
Although each attack still possessed immense power, the threat it posed to Pei Xiaoling was diminishing.
Suddenly, the Poison Toad Ancestor let out a "croak".
The sound was very urgent.
At this moment, Zuo Hao's primordial soul seemed to have suddenly received some kind of command and exploded rapidly!
Fragmented.
At the same time, it unleashed extremely terrifying energy!
·
—At this moment, on the warship not far away, Pei Moning let out a mournful cry of "Senior Brother," even more grief-stricken than before.
It seemed he already knew. Even if he could still hold onto a sliver of hope before, now that his senior brother had collapsed into countless fragments, it proved that his senior brother no longer had any hope at all.
He should have known.
Pei Moning burst into tears.
Ba Meng's eyes also turned red.
Soon, both of their eyes were bloodshot, filled with intense hatred.
The Poisonous Toad Ancestor! The Poisonous Toad Ancestor!
It's just a shame that they are so weak that they can't even take revenge themselves!
But they will definitely keep their eyes wide open and watch carefully.
I watched with my own eyes as Lord Pei skinned that poisonous toad alive!
·
Although Zuo Hao exploded, Pei Xiaoling seemed to have been prepared.
He retreated rapidly, having dodged most of the attacks, and with his black blade in hand, he blocked many more.
The Poison Toad Ancestor continued to create new troubles for him, but Pei Xiaoling's combat awareness allowed him to deal with them calmly.
However, something unusual happened.
A floating cloud suddenly appeared out of nowhere and swept away a fragment of a primordial soul.
Very accurate.
Then, as if nothing had happened, Pei Xiaoling continued to leap up and fight the Poison Toad Ancestor.
The Poison Toad Ancestor let out an angry "croak," then flashed forward, and another phantom of its primordial spirit appeared in front of it.
Its face was also blurred, but it was much taller and larger than the previous one, and its attacks were quite fierce.
·
Zhong Cai noticed the movement of the floating clouds and was immediately startled.
The sect leader used floating clouds... to steal a fragment of a primordial soul?
Does the sect leader mean that there is still hope for Zuo Hao?
The brothers Wu Shaogan and Wu Xuan also noticed it and were both taken aback.
Wu Dongxiao had already sent a telepathic message to the group chat, looking extremely surprised.
Is Sect Leader Ji trying to save people?
Wu Shaogan pondered for a moment.
Very similar.
Yes, very similar.
After all, if you don't want to save people, why would you collect a Yuanhun fragment during the Battle of Tongtian?
It just so happens that Sect Master Ji Zhan is also a Pill Master, so it's normal for him to want to try something more difficult.
However, for some reason, Wu Shaogan vaguely felt that something was wrong.
The attitude was clearly obvious...
Xuan Bing pondered.
Perhaps Sect Leader Ji values talent?
Zhong Wufu and Wu Dongxiao also thought it made a lot of sense.
·
Wu Dongxiao had mentioned before that the Temple of War had helped him find people.
Several hundred years ago, a genius appeared on the Seventh-Level Sky Ranking. Although he was not from the War God Temple, he was from the Western River Region.
Pei Xiaoling's earlier retreat, so perfectly coordinated, seemed to indicate that he had anticipated Ji Zhan's attack...
Ji Zhan and Pei Xiaoling are both Tongtian from the Western River Region, and they are still quite young Tongtian. It's normal for them to appreciate the promising talents in their own territory.
·
In reality, it may be true that they cherish talent, but that's not the whole story.
Zhong Cai's expression suddenly became somewhat subtle.
Because at that moment, he received a telepathic message from Sect Master Ji Zhan.
After this battle, I will give you the fragments of Yuan Soul that I can collect, and you will try to resolve this matter.
Zhong Cai: "..."
ah?
Him?
He's just a mere seventh-level Pill King!
How do we solve this problem of the primordial spirit from the ninth level?
However, as if Ji Zhan had anticipated Zhong Cai's questions, he continued to transmit his voice.
This fragment of Yuan Soul is level seven.
The foundation upon which the primordial spirit used to cultivate ninth-level energy is likely to be a Spirit Transformation cultivator.
Zhong Cai was taken aback upon hearing this, but then understood.
Too.
The Heavenly Soul must have been cultivated through terrifying methods. Unless absolutely necessary, the Nirvana Soul would not be used for experiments—the number of Nirvana Souls in the world is not that many compared to the vast population.
Ji Zhan said a few more words.
Zhong Cai quickly figured it out.
·
Zuo Hao's primordial soul fragments were too numerous, and each fragment was not very stable. However, after stripping away the other energy reactions, the remaining part was indeed a primordial soul of the seventh level—neither Pei Xiaoling nor Ji Zhan would mistake this.
Such a primordial soul is not only reduced to a tiny fraction, but it also lost its consciousness long ago. To completely repair it, regain its consciousness, and then find a way to reshape its physical body... all of this is very troublesome.
Although Zhong Cai considered himself to be exceptionally skilled in alchemy, he had no confidence whatsoever.
But Ji Zhan is a Pill Master, and his spare time is usually filled with various orders. How can he spend too much energy on level seven healing?
Even if Ji Zhan wanted to cure him, he would most likely have to use alchemy techniques of level eight or above.
This offers almost no benefit to Ji Zhan.
Unless Ji Zhan can forget all the alchemy techniques he has ever learned, he will unconsciously use higher-level alchemy techniques.
However, limiting oneself to only level seven is too restrictive, and Ji Zhan cannot do it.
He asked himself if, with his own strength, he could not solve this problem even at the seventh level.
Therefore, Ji Zhan was directly handed over to Zhong Cai.
Ji Zhan felt that Zhong Cai was much more outstanding now than he was back then. Back then, he might not have been as good as Zhong Cai's alchemy skills now.
Therefore, this matter should be entrusted to him.
Zhong Cai still sympathized with Zuo Hao. Since his sect leader had managed to rescue the Yuan Soul fragment, he was indeed willing to give it a try.
He himself also hoped that he could succeed.
As for the sect leader's words, there was another hidden meaning—if more fragments of the primordial spirit were rescued, they would also be given to Zhong Cai…
What can Zhong Cai do?
Of course, I agreed immediately.
Whether we can do it or not, let's try our best.
·
Pei Xiaoling's battles with the Poison Toad Ancestor became increasingly intense with each encounter.
The bulges on the back of the Poison Toad Ancestor have shriveled up considerably—especially those that concealed dark things, which have been largely depleted.
Now, this ancestor of poisonous toads has released a new phantom image.
This time, the one currently fighting Pei Xiaoling is incredibly fierce, and the newly arrived phantom quickly merges into the fray.
The new one who merged with her was a tall and strong woman. Like the previous phantom, she could quickly master certain moves once they were used, and then, by combining her two forces, she could fight Pei Xiaoling fiercely.
Pei Xiaoling didn't mind and quickly repelled those Yuan Souls.
The discovery of the Poisonous Toad Ancestor once again confirmed the speculations of Zhong Wufu and others.
Even though the previous Yuan Soul had almost completely dissipated, no new Yuan Soul appeared.
It seems that the most multi-souls that can be manipulated at the same time are only two.
·
It must be said that many cultivators secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they discovered those restrictions.
Only two at most... That couldn't be better.
·
The venomous ancestor of poisonous toads is beyond human imagination.
The first one to disappear, Zuo Hao, had a fragment taken away in an attempt to save him.
But the next two illusory souls resolutely self-destructed amidst the roar of the Poison Toad Ancestor.
This time, they still failed to harm their enemies, but they were no longer able to salvage even a single fragment of their primordial spirit.
Pei Xiaoling still felt quite sorry for those controlled souls, and tried to release some during the battle. However, the Poison Toads were becoming increasingly cunning, and Ji Zhan might not be able to find an opportunity to save them.
So, after fighting for several days, only five or six fragments of the Yuan Soul were rescued.
