Soul Tempering
The two of them worked together to arrest Wenren Yi.
Xiao Yichen didn't recognize Wen Renyi, "Senior Sister, do you recognize him? I heard you call him Wen..."
"Senior Brother Wen." Jiang Ruoshui sighed, "Junior Brother, to be honest with you, Wen Renyi, Senior Brother Wen, was once a disciple of the Canghai Sect. Five years ago, he went berserk in the Xiaocang Realm and slaughtered all the fellow disciples who entered with him at that time. I was there that time, but I escaped by luck."
Xiao Yichen was shocked, "Then why did he come back?"
"Because he's no longer Wen Renyi." Jiang Ruoshui looked at him with a deep look in her eyes. "Inside this body now lives the old demon Tianji, the demon who wreaked havoc on Xuan Ji five thousand years ago. He's back."
Xiao Yichen suddenly remembered what Lu Zhi had told him, that four great demons who would destroy the world would soon appear in the Xuanji Realm.
Is this one of them?
Xiao Yichen picked up the badge and called out a few times, but the badge did not light up.
His face was pale. "Senior Sister, I can't contact Master, and there's no way to get out."
"You can't get out. The Small Blue Realm is actually the old demon's magical weapon. From the moment he entered, he sensed his master and cut off all communication between the outside world and the realm. Junior brother, there is only one way now. Come back from where you came and go back to where you are going."
Xiao Yichen understood, "You mean to go out the same way you came in?"
Jiang Ruoshui nodded, "That's right, I'll stay here to contain the old demon, you go out and tell Master Han and the others."
Xiao Yichen was anxious: "No! It's too dangerous. We can push him out together."
Jiang Ruoshui shook his head. "Once Xiao Cang Realm realizes that the old demon is about to leave, he will seal the only door. Junior Brother, don't worry. I have a magic circle given by my father that can trap him for two hours."
Xiao Yichen looked solemn.
He knew that all hope rested on his shoulders, and Jiang Ruoshui trusted him.
But he was worried about her comfort and still struggled, "Senior Sister, how about I stay here and you go get help?"
Jiang Ruoshui smiled sadly, "I am the only one who can activate this magic circle."
Xiao Yichen: "..."
He looked at the Gong family disciple who was already frightened madly, "Then this senior brother..."
"It's okay, I'll watch over him." Jiang Ruoshui lowered her voice, with a strong sense of reluctance, as if she would never see him again, "You should go quickly! Time is running out."
Xiao Yichen made up his mind, mustered up his courage, and stepped forward to hug Jiang Ruoshui.
"Senior sister, wait for me."
After saying that, he left here as quickly as possible.
When Jiang Ruoshui saw that he had disappeared, his expression gradually relaxed.
She walked up to the Gong family member who was huddled in the corner and dared not speak.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me..."
The Gong family members couldn't recognize the person and just kept begging for mercy.
"Two of the three souls have escaped, and five of the seven spirits have dispersed. There's no point in surviving." Jiang Ruoshui reached out and pressed on his crown, "Let me help you."
Blood splattered on his face.
She frowned slightly and wiped it with her finger.
Turned around and walked towards Wen Renyi.
The latter looked at her quietly, revealing a happy smile, "The righteous path is killing its own people?"
"Old Demon Tianji." Jiang Ruoshui didn't waste any words and untied his binding spell. "Let's go to your cave."
·
Ruan Zhaozhao and his companions walked around the lava pool. Not long after, a cool air blew in front of them, instantly dispelling the heat wave and even making Yu Xiaoye sneeze.
Frost gradually covered the sides of the corridor.
Ruan Zhaozhao waved his hand, and Cui Fu consciously provided Yu Xiaoye with a layer of protection.
Yu Xiaoye didn't feel so cold anymore. "Thank you, Brother Cui."
Cui Fu had never been thanked before, and he didn't know what to say. "No, you're welcome."
Ruan Zhaozhao called Yuan Hua over, "Is this a world of ice and fire?"
Yuan Hua explained, "No, no, Sister Ruan, the third barrier is ahead. But those who can get in will either be eaten by the magic fruit as nutrients in the first barrier, or be burned to death by the flames in the second barrier, or be frozen to death in the third barrier..."
As they were talking, the four of them had already walked out of the corridor.
It was a world of ice and snow.
I saw that the cave was wrapped in thick layers of ice crystals, and even the ground was covered with ice that had not melted for thousands of years.
There is no way out here, there is ice on all sides.
But a gust of wind came from somewhere, blowing up the thin layer of frost on the ground.
Yu Xiaoye spotted a hole in the ice diagonally above him. "Why is there a hole there?"
Cui Fu: "Five years ago, a group of monks broke the rules and entered from the upper reaches. However, this was their own death. If they had entered through the main gate, they could have escaped at the first level, but here, there is no hope for them."
Then, pointing to a large, rugged ice crystal in the center, he said, "Look inside."
From a distance, it looks like an ordinary ice crystal.
Looking closer, I discovered that there was a thick dark cloud in the ice crystals, with lightning, thunder, wind and rain roaring in the cloud, carrying the power of thunder.
Yu Xiaoye asked curiously, "Did they escape?"
Yuan Hua: "Two escaped, a man and a woman. The man was possessed by our Demon Ancestor, and the woman... I guess she was just lucky. The others are all dead, killed by the man. There were corpses everywhere, and it took us two a long time just to clean up."
Trevor: "Yeah, it's all buried under the magic tree. I'm exhausted."
Ruan Zhaozhao: "Can skeletons get tired too?"
Cui Fu said with a sad face, "Working is tiring."
Yuan Hua explained this final key point, "After the container passes the first two levels, eats the magic fruit, and replaces with the flame bone, it will come here and enter the ice crystal. He thought he had inherited the power of a great power, but in fact, the Demon Ancestor was already waiting inside. The Demon Ancestor would completely tear his soul apart and eat it, and then, under the tempering of thunder and lightning, reshape it and be reborn, breaking through the ice crystal, burning the world with flames, and returning to the world."
Ruan Zhaozhao: "When the old demon possessed that man, it wasn't considered a possession?"
Cui Fu: "Of course not. All these conditions are indispensable."
Ruan Zhaozhao walked towards Bingjing.
Cui Fu hurriedly said, "You can't go in there. Only the Demon Ancestor can touch that thing. If anyone else goes in, they will be dead!"
This little kid is too reckless! Even if she can deal with the Magic Fruit and the Flame Bone, how can she touch this Soul Tempering Cloud?
Yuan Hua also advised: "Your soul will be torn apart by the Soul Tempering Cloud and used as nutrients for the Demon Ancestor's rebirth!"
Yu Xiaoye was also worried, but thinking about how Ruan Zhaozhao had handled the entire journey with ease, he thought that worrying too much would only cause her trouble, so it would be better to take care of the logistics. He sat down, put down his crow bag, and said, "Zhaozhao, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
Ruan Zhaozhao touched her stomach and was indeed a little greedy, "Brother Xiaoye, I want to eat hot pot."
"Well, it's best to eat hot pot in the snow." Yu Xiaoye said and started to set up the stove.
Cui Fu and Yuan Hua: "..."
How come they don’t take it seriously!
If Ruan Zhaozhao died in there, would it be too late for the two of them to go back and identify the Demon Ancestor?
Yu Xiaoye looked at the two of them: "Do you want to eat hot pot?"
Without thinking, the two nodded rapidly: "Eat, eat, eat!"
Ruan Zhaozhao put his face close to the ice crystal layer and observed the dark clouds inside.
There are a few lines of words on the dark clouds.
Soul Tempering Cloud (missing)
Owner: Tianji Lao Mo
Effect: After tempering, it increases the fusion degree ("Causal Killing Value") of the container (Wen Renyi) by 5 points (upper limit 100)
Ruan Zhaozhao: "System, can this item also be recycled?"
System: "Yes, but there are no keywords."
That's nothing, "Why is it only increased by 5 points?"
System: "This item is in 'missing' state, meaning something is missing. The initial state can be improved by 20 points."
Ruan Zhaozhao thought for a moment and complained, "Big Brother is so useless."
system:"?"
Ruan Zhaozhao reached out and pressed on the ice crystal layer.
The next moment, an invisible force sucked her in.
She was sucked into the Soul Tempering Cloud, floating in mid-air, surrounded by dark clouds and thunder and lightning.
A fiery purple lightning bolt descended from the sky and struck her.
Ruan Zhaozhao raised his hand.
The lightning dissipated the moment it touched the palm of my hand!
System: "Host, the core of the Soul Quenching Cloud is above."
Ruan Zhaozhao kicked off and his body flew up like a cloud.
During this time, lightning struck again, but she brushed it away.
A flame wrapped in purple lightning suddenly appeared before his eyes.
The moment Ruan Zhaozhao picked it up, the clouds instantly became quiet, and no more purple lightning shuttled through them.
She took it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, but didn't think it was anything special.
"Zhao Zhao, the hot pot is ready!"
Hearing Yu Xiaoye's shout, Ruan Zhaozhao emerged from the clouds and stepped out of the ice crystals with ease.
When Cui Fu and Yuan Hua saw Ruan Zhaozhao go in, they were still wondering whether she could come out.
Trevor: "We've all seen what she's capable of..."
Yuan Hua: "But this is the Soul Tempering Cloud. It's not like you and I haven't seen what people who were taken in by the Demon Ancestor look like..."
Cui Fu: "If she dies in there, will we still follow the Demon Ancestor?"
Yuan Hua: "Follow! The Demon Ancestor has five thousand years of cultivation. She is just a little kid. No matter how strong her strength is or how big her background is, how big can she be——"
Suddenly a ball was dropped onto the table with a "pop".
"……go."
Cui Fu and Yuan Hua were startled and screamed after seeing clearly. Yuan Hua jumped up and piled on Cui Fu's head, with the two pairs of skeleton claws tightly clasped together.
"My little ancestor, how did you take it out!"
Yu Xiaoye looked at the purple lightning ball curiously, "Zhao Zhao, what is this?"
"The core of that cloud." Ruan Zhaozhao picked up his chopsticks and was about to pick up some meat, but put them down again after hearing the system's words. "Okay."
She held the core in her palm.
The next moment, like a magic fruit, the core was eaten bit by bit.
And an identical one appeared on her left hand.
This is what Cui Fu just saw.
He said to Yuan Hua quietly, "The magic fruit has also been eaten."
Ruan Zhaozhao weighed the fake core.
System: "Recovery completed. Host, after this core is placed back into the Soul Tempering Cloud, it will still emit purple lightning, but it will not be able to harm anyone."
Ruan Zhaozhao nodded, turned around and threw the fake core towards the ice crystal.
The fake core passed through the ice crystals and merged into the clouds, and the dark clouds began to become restless again.
After doing all this, she dusted off her hands, picked up her chopsticks and started eating with relish.
As usual, Yu Xiaoye sighed in his heart at how great Ruan Zhaozhao was.
Then he looked at the two skeletons in surprise, "Brother Cui, Brother Yuan, why aren't you eating?"
Cui Fu and Yuan Hua trembled.
The two of them actually had the intention of rebelling again. How regretful!
Yuan Hua jumped down and kowtowed with Cui Fu.
"Sister Ruan, from now on, we will go through fire and water, no matter what happens! You will be our lifelong boss. Good luck to you, Sister Ruan!"
Ruan Zhaozhao waved his chopsticks and said, "Stand up and eat."
Cui Fu and Yuan Hua: "Thank you, Sister Ruan, for your grace!"
Yu Xiaoye scratched his head.
Something seems strange.
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.
system:"……"
It seems everyone has begun to adapt to the host's extraordinary abilities...
At this moment, the system sensed something and spoke with a rare hint of nervousness, "Host, the mission details have been updated."
