Chapter 719 The Ghostly Target: The Resurrection of the Lord of Burial Stars - A Follow-up Move
After the conversation with Fairy Xi.
Wang Yu plucked a feather shaped like an ice phoenix, used his ice magic to transform it into a palm-sized, ice-blue bird, demonstrating his profound understanding of "magic possessing primordial spirit."
He used spatial means to send it out, heading towards the vicinity of the Burial Emperor City, where it would exist as his eyes.
This kind of rough inspection is very easy to conduct.
As long as you pay attention to the general situation, once a collision occurs between experts at the Dao Integration level or above, you can easily detect the fluctuations of the laws even if they are tens of thousands of miles apart.
That's enough.
immediately.
Wang Yu found a secluded and quiet place and continued to fish for the Death Bell Demon with his Taiyin Primordial Spirit body, perfecting the Death Bell Demon Talisman in the Heavenly Demon Diagram. The strength of his Innate True Demon Body also grew stronger with each absorption, but he was still far from the next evolution.
In his estimation, it would take at least ten Heavenly Demon Talismans to make significant progress in the Myriad Transformations Talent, and more accumulation would be needed to reach the "Immortal" level of leapfrog evolution.
This is not a goal that can be achieved overnight!
Now, I am very familiar with the process of fishing for and refining the Death Knell Demon, and the time required has been greatly reduced. It takes about a month and a half to obtain a perfect Death Knell Demon Orb.
If you're lucky, you can refine eight or nine in a year.
Give him another five or six years, and he can completely perfect the Death Knell Demon Talisman. Using it as a reference, he can greatly accelerate the progress of the Yellow Springs Dao Principles. He might even be able to comprehend the prototype of the fourth Dao Fruit under the same Dao.
These are all uncertain.
While refining the Death Knell Demon, Wang Yu also separated a divine thought avatar to reside permanently inside the Myriad Transformations True Demon Cave Heaven, partly because the demonic contamination of the Jianmu spiritual root was about to be completed.
This could bring about earth-shattering changes to his Dao-proving grotto-heaven, and secondly, it could lead to the construction of the Blood Sea, where a blood pool would be built at the bottom of this vast and boundless Blood Sea.
The vast number of demonic spiritual objects he planted in the cave not only provided a good environment for the internal circulation of the cave, but also could be used to refine a large number of spiritual pills in batches using the Blood Sea Alchemy Method.
It is still the most precious Soul-Cultivating Elixir.
Its value is similar to that of top-grade spirit stones, and it also has a pill-refining technique that integrates the origin of a large number of spirit pills, refines the pills to a higher grade, and after nurturing them for a few more years, it can be consumed by the user.
Even if all else fails, this large sum of resources is still money!
It should always be taken care of, and not wasted. Secondly, he guided Tantai Chan in her cultivation. After switching to the Ghost Immortal Path, she was no longer limited by her natural talent.
The cultivation of the Taiyin Ghost Immortal Body is very simple for Wang Yu to guide on his preferred path. Even the union of their primordial spirits allows Xiao Chan'er to absorb his Taiyin divine power.
This stuff is a great tonic for her.
By leaving a divine thought avatar here, he can arrange regular spiritual communion with Wang Yu's primordial spirit and engage in dual cultivation with him. The benefits Wang Yu can gain are minimal; he can mostly enjoy the desire.
It was of great benefit to his cultivation of the "Six Desires Heavenly Skill".
Xiao Chan'er, on the other hand, simply enjoyed herself while also greatly increasing her cultivation. With Wang Yu guiding her to comprehend the principles of the Taiyin, her progress was incomparable.
This is even more exaggerated than what she has experienced in the Soul Refining World over the past few hundred years.
If this trend continues, he may advance to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years at most, at which point he can borrow a set of spiritual treasures from Wang Yu for tribulation.
She could then directly reach the Void Refinement stage, and there was also the Demon Realm Fruit, a heaven-defying divine object that could help her raise her cultivation level by a small realm. Her cultivation path was smooth sailing.
They also got through those tough early days.
No more worrying about being abandoned at any time back in Ice Prison.
Wang Yu's side proceeded steadily and quietly.
The atmosphere was not so peaceful for the other Celestial race team that received the message from Fairy Xi.
Unlike the group of female Celestials led by Fairy Xi, the Celestial race has split into two factions, "Qiankun Faction," in recent years due to the treacherous scheme proposed by Mao Si.
The Heavenly Stem (乾) belongs to the Yang element and specifically refers to male cultivators.
Kun represents earth, belongs to yin, and specifically refers to female cultivators.
Mao Si objectified the women of the Celestial Race, turning them into lowly commodities, which naturally aroused the disgust and resentment of the female cultivators of the Celestial Race, and naturally led to the formation of the new Kun Sect female cultivators.
Fairy Xi's team is one of the best among the younger generation, while the Celestial Race team that ambushed them was formed by male cultivators.
If we can conquer the Soul Refining World, it will be a great achievement.
This further proves their excellence and necessity. Mao Si's wicked scheme led to the sending out of a large number of talented female celestial beings as commodities, although none of them were top geniuses.
However, this also significantly weakened their core strength.
In disputes between two factions, especially in group conflicts, being completely at a disadvantage could have even worse consequences in the long run.
Logically speaking, such a strategy that affects the stability of a group should be seen as problematic by powerful figures, but the benefits it brings are also very real.
It's just that it's hard to tell which is better or worse at the moment.
at this time.
Near the Burial Emperor City, the Celestial Cultivators, led by Lu Tianxing, wore five-colored canopies above their heads and used the effects of Heavenly Profound Spiritual Artifacts to conceal their figures and auras, making them difficult for even Loose Immortals to detect.
"Brother Tianxing, the news that Sister Xi sent over is hard to verify. Do we really want to clash with the Burial Emperor City? Even if those Mahayana and Tribulation Transcending stage native experts can't make a move, the Dao Integration stage natives alone are enough to give us a hard time."
"Yes, Brother Tianxing, Xi was tricked by us. Their progress is far behind ours. Even with the Phoenix Clan reinforcements brought by Qingxu Tianzun, they are still no match for us."
"If this is their conspiracy, such rash action could easily have adverse effects."
Under the protection of the five-colored canopy, everyone spoke in turn.
They all expressed their own opinions.
Lu Tianxing stood with his hands behind his back, silently gazing at the five-colored canopy. This was a Heavenly Profound Treasure left behind by the Lu family's Tribulation Transcending Ancestor, named the [Five Elements Five Emperors Tribulation Transcending Treasure Umbrella]!
It is ranked as an eighth-tier top-grade item, although it failed to make it onto the Heavenly Profound Spiritual Treasure Ranking.
Yet it is also a top-tier treasure in the world.
He wanted to drive it, relying entirely on his own Lu family bloodline to communicate with the spirit within the artifact and borrow a portion of its power. This operation depended on this treasure, despite the advice of his companions.
Lu Tianxing waved his hand, and the scene immediately quieted down.
He said.
"With the Celestial Race prioritizing righteousness, Xi won't make things difficult for me on this matter. If the Ghost Spirit Clan truly cooperates with the Burial Emperor City, we do need to be wary of the possibility of them raiding our base."
"My younger brother is still preparing the Heavenly Heart Joint Sacrifice Array. All the array eyes are in place, and only a Death Soul Mountain of sufficient size is missing as the main array eye. Once successful, it will be able to establish a connection with the Heavenly Heart. At that time, the inlay of the True Immortal Imprint will be a natural process, turning the advantage into victory!"
At this critical moment, upon hearing that the Ghost Spirit Clan had received support from the native holy city, Lu Tianxing had to confirm it no matter what.
If it is true, then we must find a way to sabotage it and accelerate our own camp's plans.
If it's fake... no, if the cooperation isn't as strong as expected, they can still use tactics to hinder it.
Lu Tianxing's idea is perfectly reasonable.
However, he was unaware of the sacredness of the Ghost Spirit Clan's origins. The race formed from placental blood was a natural holy race and royal family among the Soul Refining Natives, and was an object that needed to be worshipped.
The natives' undead masters held a revered position.
However, all his strength relies on the power of the dead soul, which comes from the Lord of the Burial Star Dao. The Ghost Spirit Clan, who shares the same origin as him, is precisely the kind of people that dead soul masters need to curry favor with.
If the main force were the cultivators of the Burial Path, the status of the Ghost Spirit Clan might not be so revered. However, it is easier to leverage the power of the Soul Masters who have cultivated in the wrong direction.
In their eyes, the Ghost Spirit Clan is as sacred as "gods," possessing a level of dead soul power far exceeding their own; each of them is a born dead soul master.
This must have been incredibly incredible for the indigenous people.
therefore.
While it might be an exaggeration to say that one would immediately worship any city dominated by Soul Masters, it's highly likely that a large number of Soul Master cities could be subdued without even needing to fight, provided one is willing to make some promises.
The local power is expanding at an extremely rapid pace.
Even Heaven and Earth favored the Ghost Spirit Clan, making everything go smoothly and as they wished. This was the advantage brought by orthodoxy.
The Ghost Clan and the native creatures cooperated closely.
With the advantages accumulated from previous rounds of contact, Lu Tianxing's probing was destined to fail. However, the Ghost Spirit Clan had their own ulterior motives, and the natives were not necessarily of one mind.
But before the Ghost Clan's true objective is revealed.
This cooperation is difficult to break, but if the Soul Masters discover that the Ghost Spirit Clan wants to completely kill the Lord of Burial Star and change the environment of the Soul Refining World, it could be disrupted.
To convert this burial placenta into private property.
That means even the Dead Soul Masters would lead the rebellion against the "Children of Gods'" treasonous actions.
but.
It remains to be seen how the Ghost Spirit Clan will seize the power left behind by the Lord of Burial Star, and whether Wang Yu will be able to get a share of it.
That depends on the outcome of Lu Tianxing's probing.
…………
…………
at the same time.
Beneath the Death Soul Statue, which stands at the eighth-tier limit in the Burial Emperor City, Yin Li, the Red-Clothed Ghost Lord and the number one prodigy of the Ghost Spirit Clan, floats in front of the Death Soul Statue. Her aura has already surged to the peak of the third level of the Dao Integration Realm, and she is only one step away from breaking through to the fourth level of the Dao Integration Realm and becoming a mid-stage cultivator.
Yin Li was a prodigy of the Ghost Spirit Clan who entered the Soul Refining World in the first round. She cleverly concealed her existence and has been cultivating diligently in the Burial Emperor City ever since.
When she entered the realm, she had already condensed the three flowers on her head and reached the perfection of the Void Refinement realm. After hundreds of years of hard work, with the help of the power of the dead soul and its affinity with her bloodline, her strength has advanced by leaps and bounds!
For an ant, several hundred years is a lifetime.
For a Dao-merging master, it's just a fleeting moment.
Being able to break through two bottlenecks in a row and reach the mid-stage realm is already an extremely exaggerated improvement, only one level slower than Wang Yu!
'The advantages of the ghostly bloodline are fully manifested in this realm, and there is even a tendency for it to evolve further…'
Yin Li pondered in her heart.
How to utilize the environment to further enhance one's cultivation.
In fact, judging by common sense, as one of the three holy cities of the natives, the statue of the dead soul in Burial Emperor City is at least at the ninth level, and may even have reached the peak of the tenth level.
Currently, she is only at the eighth level limit because Yin Li devoured the dead soul source within it to improve her cultivation and bloodline, especially the latter, which consumed a lot of her energy.
'According to the deductions of the Ghost Ancestors, the Statue of the Dead Souls cannot reach the tenth rank; otherwise, the consciousness of the Lord of Burial Stars, who has fallen into eternal slumber, might revive, and these natives would no longer be so obedient to me.'
The Ghost Clan's plan was actually quite simple.
Slow, steady, and gradual absorption!
The source of the power of the dead soul is the Lord of the Burial Star Path. Devouring this power is actually weakening the possibility of the other party's resurrection. Although the dead soul masters among the native creatures also borrow this power, they will still die in their own realm when they grow old.
It's equivalent to no consumption.
If a cultivator who practices the Burial Dao achieves success and returns to heaven, it will actually strengthen the origin of the dead soul, subtly restoring the power of the Burial Immortal Dao Fruit, and over the long years, it will once again be lifted into the Great Dao.
At that time, the revival of the Lord of the Burial Star Path will be exceptionally natural.
This is one of the measures taken after the recovery.
Secondly.
When the Statue of the Dead Soul reaches the tenth level, the consciousness of the Lord of the Burial Star will also be revived within it. This is a contingency plan left for fierce wars or invasions by foreign enemies.
The more intense the battle, the greater the probability that the final victor, by pooling the strength of the masses, will elevate to a tenth-tier divine statue.
Conversely, the same principle applies when facing invasion by foreign enemies. If the native creatures do not want to be wiped out, they can only try to build up tenth-tier divine statues and obtain immortal-level inheritances in order to have a chance to resist.
However, something went wrong with this backup plan.
This resulted in the Dead Soul Statue lacking certain conditions, making it difficult to truly advance to the tenth rank. After Yin Li and other Ghost Spirit Clan members intervened, they devoured the statue's essence on a large scale, weakening it to the extreme of the eighth rank.
This eliminated the possibility of Su's repeated attacks.
This intelligence was naturally derived by the two True Immortals behind the scenes of the Ghost Spirit Clan, who exerted all their efforts to deduce it. However, it is unclear whether the Lord of Burial Stars has a third method of revival.
Therefore, the Ghost Clan's strategy is very sound.
The Celestial Race was kept in check, giving them hope of victory. The delays continued, allowing the Ghost Spirit Race's prodigies to devour more of the dead soul's essence.
The second aspect is to stabilize the indigenous beings and continuously build up the strength of the Celestial Race, making the indigenous powerhouses above the Dao Integration Realm afraid to take action, and then draw nourishment from them to strengthen themselves.
Despite having established stable communication with the Burial Star Placenta and made contact with it, the three parties did not act rashly, but instead maintained the external pressure brought by the Celestial Race.
This allowed them to extract more secrets from the indigenous people.
Even those mass-produced Burial Dao inheritances are of great value to the Ghost Spirit Clan.
This gives a glimpse into their treacherous and cunning nature!
However, the Ghost Clan's plan is a bit too focused on balance. Once it is exposed by external forces and the native creatures see through its true nature, the backlash will be exceptionally severe.
At times like these, we should thank the Celestial Race for being arrogant enough.
It is precisely because of their arrogance and overconfidence, which led them to regard the Soul Refining World as their own, that the Ghost Spirit Clan had room for sophisticated manipulation.
Yin Li pondered her next steps.
'The weakening plans for Burial Emperor City, Hundred Vein Mountain City, and Netherworld City have all been successfully completed. Now the only concern is potential problems with the Celestial Race. What if those arrogant fools give up?'
'There are also requests from two True Immortal Ancestors. The core of the placenta might contain the Immortal Burial Dao Fruit left behind by the Dao Lord. If I could obtain it, becoming the third Immortal of the Ghost Spirit Clan wouldn't be impossible!'
Ambitions were growing vigorously in Yin Li.
Her stunning figure became increasingly alluring, and an aura of extraordinary strength emanated from her.
Her face was as pale as snow, with delicate and elegant features. Her eyes were covered by red silk, adding to her mystery and the unknown.
With delicate, jade-like hands moving gently, the illusory image of one of the Death Soul Master Elders of Burial Emperor City materialized before her, her alluring little tongue licking her red lips as she murmured.
"If one can devour its origin, the evolution of bloodline is a certainty, and breaking through to the mid-stage of Dao Integration will be a piece of cake."
only.
She hadn't yet figured out a reasonable way to implement this ambition.
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard.
"Lu Tianxing of the Celestial Race has come to pay a visit. I wonder if Fairy Yin Li of the Ghost Spirit Race is here?"
Yin Li's face immediately darkened. She and Lu Tianxing were old acquaintances; she had fought against him during the first time the two races competed for the Soul Refining World.
Now that the other party is coming on strong and has pinpointed her name, it's hard not to have some doubts.
'That damned rat, how did it become smart...'
