After the little incident with the Phantom Demon, everyone was surprised to find that the chilling and evil aura emanating from the Ghost Cave seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
Qi Mingyu was the first to stop the Samadhi True Fire.
He looked around, frowned, and muttered to himself, "Could the things inside the Ghost Cave have escaped?"
Wan Jiao remained expressionless, but after Qi Mingyu finished speaking, she gave him an affirmative response, "Except for the Phantom Demon that just died, all the evil spirits here are gone."
"They really ran away? How could that be? It doesn't make sense. They've been entrenched here for years, where would they be..."
As Qi Mingyu was muttering to himself, Lin Yi cautiously interrupted him, saying, "Brother Mingyu, is it possible that they knew the captain was coming and ran away in fear?"
Lu Heng, Cheng Ranzhi, and Ji Zitong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Lin Yi's statement.
Qi Mingyu scratched the back of his head and clapped his hands. "Lin Yi, you've got it all figured out."
Lin Yi smiled shyly and smoothly changed the subject, asking Wan Jiao, "Captain, where are we going now?"
"Find those who disappeared in Wanggui Cave," Wan Jiao said calmly.
With the threat gone from the Ghost Cave, Qi Mingyu and the others could act freely. In just a moment, only Xiao Lejin remained by Wan Jiao's side.
As the spirit of the suona, Xiao Lejin had a strong sense of the aura of evil spirits. She tilted her head, thought for a long time, and finally decided to have a good talk with Wan Jiao about the Ghost Cave.
"Auntie, I feel that the evil spirits haven't completely disappeared."
What Xiao Lejin said was also what Wan Jiao was thinking. She gazed intently into the deepest part of the Ghost-Gazing Cave. It was pitch black there, and nothing could be seen, but... it was definitely not ordinary.
Wan Jiao clenched Xiao Le Jin's small hand in her own, and vanished from the spot in an instant. They reappeared in the deepest part of the Ghost-Gazing Cave.
It was too dark to see clearly, so Wan Jiao casually pointed, using her spiritual power to illuminate the entire depths of the Ghost-Gazing Cave.
This place is huge. Right in the middle, there's a pool, but it doesn't contain water; it contains blood.
In the pool of blood, there was an ice coffin, and inside lay a corpse.
No, more accurately, it was a body.
A man's body.
The only strange thing was that the body had no facial features.
Wan Jiao had seen related records in the ancient books of Nanshan Temple. It was a kind of evil technique called "Spirit-Severing Body".
According to ancient records, thousands of years ago, a demon god appeared out of nowhere, most skilled in bewitching arts. No matter how high the level of a mystic, no one could escape the fate of willingly accepting demonic energy and becoming a demon, reduced to slavery. In an instant, both the human and demon realms were plunged into chaos. At this time, a female mystic with exceptional talent wrote out a technique called "Spirit-Severing Body" after seven days of seclusion.
The Seven Absolute Spiritual Bodies created by the "Absolute Spiritual Body" are immaculate and impervious to all evil. However, the price to create a Seven Absolute Spiritual Body is extremely high.
First, the blood essence of 999 level-six or higher Xuanshu masters and 99 thousand-year-old demons is needed to create a blood pool. Second, 999 pairs of virgin boys and girls (age not limited, but must be celibate) must be purified before being placed in the blood pool, their flesh and souls providing "nourishment" for the Seven Absolute Spirit Body. Finally, a thousand-year-old ice coffin is placed inside. Combined with a special formation for the "Absolute Spirit Body," a Seven Absolute Spirit Body will be created within the ice coffin in just seven days…
(Ahem~ "Spirit Absolute Body" is my own creation. It's a bit cringey but very original. Just take a look and don't take it too seriously.)
At that time, life was in turmoil and everyone was in danger, including demons. The female sorcerer's "Spirit-Severing Body" plan was unanimously approved by both the human and demon realms.
999 level-six or higher mystical arts masters, 99 thousand-year-old demons, and 999 pairs of young boys and girls all volunteered to sacrifice themselves at that time.
When the Seven Absolute Spirit Body was formed, the female sorcerer helped Feng Yan, the strongest person in the sorcery world at the time, to abandon his original body and have his soul enter the Seven Absolute Spirit Body.
Thus, the demon god was destroyed!
…
Judging from the condition of the seven spirits inside the ice coffin, they should last at most half a day, or seven days.
In this era, the cultivation of mystical arts masters is already difficult, and yet there are 999 mystical arts masters of level six or above in this blood pool... It is no exaggeration to say that it has shaken the foundation of the mystical arts world.
As for the 99 ancient demons and 999 pairs of young boys and girls... Wan Jiao can only say that the "people" who dare to create the Seven Absolute Spiritual Bodies are insane.
However, there is a rather thorny problem at this moment: what to do with the Seven Absolute Spirit Body that is about to be formed.
In fact, according to Wan Jiao's idea, it would be better to just destroy it, so as to avoid any big commotion caused by everyone coveting "him".
But this was a major event for the entire metaphysical community, and Wan Jiao alone had no authority to decide. So she took out her phone and contacted An Bo, "Director An, there's a situation at Wanggui Cave. Specifically..."
After Wan Jiao briefly explained the matter of the Seven Absolute Spirit Body, An Bo on the other end of the phone was so excited that it took him a long time to finish his sentence, "Xiao Wan, you stay and guard the Seven Absolute Spirit Body, don't leave it for even a moment. Elder Cui, Chairman Lan, and I will rush over immediately."
After Wan Jiao answered and hung up the phone, Xiao Lejin's soft voice reached her ears, "Auntie, there seems to be the aura of Nüba here."
Female demon?
Wan Jiao's attention was completely focused on the Seven Absolute Spirits, and she hadn't noticed anything until Xiao Le Jin reminded her.
It's definitely the aura of Nüba.
Upon seeing the Seven Absolute Spirits, Wan Jiao initially thought that an evil cultivator was controlling evil spirits to cause trouble in the Ghostly Cave. However, now that the female demon and the Seven Absolute Spirits are connected, the possibility of it being an evil cultivator is much less likely.
Yes, Nüba is not someone that evil cultivators can control.
Wan Jiao didn't yet know what kind of being could command Nüba, but one thing she was certain of was that it was definitely not human.
But the Seven Absolute Spirit Body is an immaculate body, impervious to all evil. What would a non-human being go to such lengths to create a Seven Absolute Spirit Body for?
Things seem to be getting more and more complicated!
…
…
Elder Cui, Chairman Lan, and Amber appeared at the edge of the blood pool half an hour later, beside Wan Jiao. They didn't look well and seemed exhausted.
Wan Jiao was puzzled and asked, "Elder Cui, Chairman Lan, Director An, what's wrong with you all?"
What's wrong?
Elder Cui and Chairman Lan exchanged a glance, their faces flushed red, but they remained silent. It was An Bo who cleared his throat and said slowly, "Elder Cui and Chairman Lan and I put in a bit of effort to set up the teleportation array."
It took a bit of a hassle.
But heaven knows, they actually used every ounce of strength they had to finally get through the teleportation array.
To be honest, anyone with slightly lower cultivation level wouldn't be able to get through.
Yes, if they didn't use the teleportation array and instead took a plane, by the time they arrived at the Seven Absolute Spiritual Body stage, they would have already become...
Wan Jiao didn't think too much about it. When she heard them say that setting up the teleportation array took some effort, she remembered that she had always felt that teleportation arrays were not as useful as teleportation talismans, so she subconsciously asked, "Why not use teleportation talismans?"
"A teleportation talisman???" The three stared at Wan Jiao as if they had seen a ghost. "No one in the metaphysical world has drawn a teleportation talisman in five hundred years."
