It was supposed to be a warm moment for mother and son to meet, but no one expected something like that to happen.
Yuchi Zhen was seriously injured. Although she took medicinal pills, she was still a mortal after all. The fatigue from the journey and the mental damage made her exhausted.
Li Shiyin took her directly to the room to rest, and Li An was also under her temporary care... Only she could control the sword energy in Li An.
Late at night, Long Qiqi finally completed the task and fell asleep with his butt sticking up. It would be difficult to wake up without sleeping for a day or two. Zhuifeng, the feline, took advantage of the night to run out to warn the monsters at Danfeng that the boss of Danfeng was back.
Qin Ran sat back in his familiar and comfortable study room. He was holding a pen and reciting a technique.
The name of the technique is...
"The Great Method of Ten Thousand Ghosts Claiming Life".
It was exactly the martial arts practiced by the man in black robe under Wuyi City!
On that day, the black-robed man's Ten Thousand Ghosts Reaping Life Formation was broken, his physical body was killed by the sword energy of two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from the Infinite Sword Sect, his magic weapon was taken away by Zhao Yaqing, and his soul originally wanted to wait for an opportunity to take over Qin Ran's body, but Qin Ran tricked him again and devoured him with his "Nine Extremes Demon Devouring Art".
Qin Ran devoured his soul, not for the soul power contained in his soul, although the soul of a Jindan stage cultivator made Qin Ran's spirit stronger, but for the black-robed man's memory, or to be more precise, the black-robed man's cultivation method.
That is the unique spiritual practice, "The Soul-Calling Technique of Ten Thousand Ghosts".
This technique is extremely similar to the nameless soul-refining formula handed down from Danfeng’s ancestors.
The nameless mantra for refining the spirit is incomplete, leaving only the function of condensing the primordial spirit.
The "Ten Thousand Ghosts' Soul-Calling Technique" is complete. It gives the black-robed man the ability to harm souls, the ability to refine and control souls, and also gives him the ability to... take over other people's bodies.
Not every cultivator can harm the soul. If the primordial spirit is not condensed, then the means to harm the soul are extremely limited.
When does a monk come into contact with a soul?
Golden Elixir Stage.
The Golden Core Stage is the process where the cultivator unconsciously condenses his soul into the Golden Core in his body. However, this stage is unconscious, and the cultivator actually has no ability to control his soul.
The only one who truly has the ability to harm souls is at the Nascent Soul stage or above.
Not every cultivator can possess a body. If a cultivator wants to possess a body, he or she must have at least something to occupy the body of another person, such as the Nascent Soul or the Primordial Spirit. Those below the Nascent Soul level do not have the ability to possess a body.
The man in black robe was only in the Jindan stage, but he was able to defeat Qin Ran's spiritual clone with one move and also take over his body with his soul.
Therefore, we can see the power of "Ten Thousand Ghosts Calling for Life" from this.
When Qin Ran obtained the black-robed man’s skills, he also briefly browsed his other memories…
The man in black robe, whose name is Zhao Pu, was originally a close eunuch beside Zhao Zheng. Later, Zhao Zheng saw that he was loyal, gave him the name Zhao Pu, led him on the path of cultivation, and gave him the "Ten Thousand Ghosts Demanding Life Method".
Because of the special nature of his martial arts, Zhao Pu went into hiding and did things for Zhao Zheng that could not be seen in public.
But as time went by, as Zhao Pu gained more and more trust from Zhao Zheng and his cultivation level became higher and higher, the desire in his heart gradually grew.
He began to feel dissatisfied with his current status and strength.
This is commonly known as the inner demon.
Therefore, he would want to refine the millions of soldiers of Northern Chu and the millions of civilians and soldiers of Wuyi City, and turn them all into his ghosts and cultivators.
At the same time, it was also the reason why he was so reckless as to lock three Nascent Soul Stage and more than a dozen Golden Core Stage cultivators in the formation.
Zhao Pu was overwhelmed by his inner demons and became extremely arrogant. He thought he had the "Banner of Ten Thousand Ghosts" and did not even take his Nascent Soul seriously.
After all, he didn't know that there are always people better than you, and he didn't understand his own position... He didn't know that he was never special. If he could control the power of the soul early on, others could too.
In fact, other people's opportunities and talents are countless times better than his.
…He met Qin Ran and Li Shiyin, and then died.
As he sorted out the memories of the man in black robe, Qin Ran felt sorry for the “Demons’ Life-Calling Banner”, but he also had a question...
That is, Zhao Zheng, isn't he a mortal emperor? How can he still have cultivation? How can he casually bestow such a powerful technique on the eunuchs around him?
Therefore, Zhao Zheng became more mysterious in the eyes of Qin Ran's original body.
But he could roughly guess that this was the reason why the clone joined Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng and his people could even sever the connection between the clone and the original body, allowing the clone to go out independently. This mysterious method was beyond Qin Ran’s comprehension at the moment. So he roughly knew how terrifying Zhao Zheng and the Xuan Qin court were.
Remember the "Ten Thousand Ghosts Calling for Life Technique". Qin Ran did not want to practice this technique. Although this technique was special and powerful, its side effects were actually too great.
Qin Ran was more envious of the magic in this technique. How could he not be tempted by magic that could hurt the soul?
He wanted to disassemble the spells and fill Danfeng's arsenal of skills.
After a busy night, Qin Ran finally finished organizing the "Ten Thousand Ghosts Calling for Life" and came up with several spells that could be used:
The first one was to collect souls and refine soul-refining spells. The soul-collecting spells would make it easier for him to destroy the corpses later.
As for the spells for refining souls, there are two types of them, namely, evil ghosts and corpse ghosts, which the man in black robe demonstrated that day. There is also a vengeful ghost, which is very powerful, but the man in black robe failed to refine it.
This soul refining technique requires practice of this technique, but Qin Ran cannot practice it, which is a pity.
However, Zhuifeng has a ghost space that can control souls, so he can show it to Zhuifeng.
The second one is the soul-searching technique, which can forcibly search other people’s memories.
This is the same spell as Kieran devouring the black robe man’s soul to obtain his memories, but soul searching does not require devouring another person’s soul in this way.
However, being forcibly searched by the soul-searching technique is extremely painful, and it is better to be swallowed.
The third one was the Soul Worship Technique, which was the same spell that the black-robed man used to kill Qin Ran’s clone.
In fact, this trick has great limitations: first, the caster's cultivation level must be higher than that of the recipient; second, he must at least know the recipient's real name; third, the recipient must be off guard.
Therefore, this is a technique that can only be used to sneak attack those with lower cultivation than oneself... It has great limitations and is actually useless. The most important thing is that it can only be performed by those who have practiced this technique.
Fourth, the Soul Fusion Technique. This was probably the most rewarding spell that Qin Ran had learned after working so hard all night. This was because the function of this spell was to allow the soul of the cultivator to merge with the body as quickly as possible after taking over another body.
After finishing the record, Qin Ran put away the book and placed it on the bookshelf on the upper right side of the desk. In this bookshelf, there are many skills he has collected over the years, such as the "Nine-Turn Star Sword Technique" practiced by Li Shiyin, the "Water Flower Heart Sutra" he practiced himself, the "Nine-Polarity Soul Devouring Demon Art" he had obtained before, and so on.
Now there is also the "Ten Thousand Ghosts Calling for Life" method.
He put the new books in place and activated the formation, hiding this layer of bookshelves and revealing the ordinary books outside.
Qin Ran stretched himself and felt generally excited and happy.
Then……
He looked out of the study window and saw another baby of four or five months old riding a sword, chasing a white cat across the sky, passing by the window early in the morning.
“???” He felt something was wrong.
