Chapter 111 Something's not right, might as well run.
The violent tremors occurring within Chen Yi's soul did not manifest any abnormal signs to the outside world.
While Ning Bu'er was still amazed by Chen Yi's powerful soul defense ability, a heart-wrenching soul fluctuation suddenly emanated from the puppet pouch hanging at her waist.
"What happened?" Ning Bu'er immediately asked through divine sense.
"Aaaaaah!! The core demonic thought I had branched out to parasitize has been completely obliterated!"
The ancient demonic thought within Ning Bu'er's puppet was in immense pain and gave this answer.
This answer stirred up a storm in Ning Bu'er's heart.
"Wipe them out? How is that possible?!"
It should be noted that this demonic thought has existed for tens of thousands of years; it is unknown what level of powerful being it was in its previous life.
When it invaded Ning Bu'er's soul earlier, even her Nine Yin Demon Flames couldn't extinguish that demonic thought.
The entity that invaded the bald man before him, though merely a fragment of demonic thought,
But it was wiped out just like that?
Ning Bu'er's gaze suddenly sharpened as he stared intently at Chen Yi.
She realized that this seemingly ordinary bald man was no ordinary person; she might have encountered a powerful figure she couldn't afford to offend.
The subsequent analysis of the demonic thought's transmission confirmed her suspicions.
"Young Miss, this young man may also possess an important ancient inheritance, just like you."
Although my demonic thought only possesses the power of a beginner at the third level, its essence is close to the fourth level, especially since it has already entered his soul.
Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators might not even be able to detect it, let alone find it or destroy it.
The methods that could extinguish its wisp of consciousness at the second or third tier all involved true Nascent Soul level divine consciousness inheritance!
Ning Bu'er immediately understood.
The next moment, the demonic thought's telepathic communication suddenly became excited, its voice filled with an uncontrollable greed:
"Young Miss! This is the one!"
This young man's talent is comparable to that of a peerless genius from ancient times, and he is only slightly inferior to the young lady.
Today I will choose him as my host; all other cultivators are out of the question.
"No matter what, Miss, you must help me get this person!"
The demonic thought was so excited that its soul trembled. It carefully recalled the bald body cultivator in front of it and found that apart from his plain appearance, he had many merits.
It may even possess a truly top-tier divine soul inheritance.
This is no less impressive than his talent when he was just an ordinary prodigy!
"Not only that, Miss."
This young man possesses powerful body-refining skills and soul-defense capabilities.
His purpose in coming here is probably the same as yours: to pass through this Thunder Pool and enter the final part of the Thunder Soul Sect's Inheritance Hall.
You could collaborate with him; with your combined abilities, you should be able to get in.
Then, when you receive the inheritance, I will secretly intervene, fully invading his soul to help you control his body and obtain the strongest Thunder Soul Sect inheritance. How about that?
Ning Bu'er was somewhat swayed by the demonic thoughts.
At this moment, when she looked at Chen Yi again, she had already given up the idea of killing him.
Without him,
This kid is like a tortoise shell; he's impossible to kill.
His physical cultivation was even superior to hers; even the Nine Yin Demon Flame could not burn her in the slightest.
What troubled her even more was the layer upon layer of divine soul defense shields, which were as impenetrable as a copper wall and an iron wall.
Ning Bu'er secretly estimated that even if they weren't in an underground cave, but in an open area outside,
Even if she summons a puppet ape and uses all her magical techniques and trump cards, it will probably be difficult to kill it completely.
Since they can't be eliminated, this bald man who calls himself Xu Jiu is qualified to become a partner.
Ning Bu'er stared at the figure that was faintly visible in the smoke and dust ahead, his cold voice echoing in the dark cave:
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I acknowledge your qualification to fight me."
As you probably know, this Thunder Pool is a secret passage leading to the back of the Thunder Soul Sect's Inheritance Hall.
One must withstand the baptism of the Thunder Pool with both body and soul to enter.
How about we team up? You pave the way, and you take charge of fending off the thunder.
I will use the Nine Yin Demon Flame to clear away the Thunder Beast's trial. Let us enter this place together and plot the true inheritance of the ancient Thunder Soul Sect.
how?"
Ning Bu'er's cold voice echoed in the narrow underground cave, but received no response for a long time.
A deathly silence hung in the air, broken only by her own voice echoing among the rock walls.
Ning Bu'er frowned slightly and cautiously took a few steps forward.
With a flick of his sleeve, magic surged forth, dispelling the smoke and mist before him.
When his vision cleared, Ning Bu'er's pupils suddenly contracted—
What remained in place was merely a phantom that still carried the aura of the bald man!
The golden light shining from the phantom's hands and feet was so lifelike that it almost fooled her, who was already in a state of unease.
The real bald Xu Jiu has long since disappeared.
Only a wisp of the lingering aura of the Earth Escape Talisman remained between the rock walls, proving that the opponent had already decisively retreated.
Ning Bu'er scanned the area within a hundred feet with his divine sense, but could no longer find any trace of it.
Chen Yi had wanted to run away for a long time.
The black demonic flames unleashed by this mysterious girl, though not from a righteous lineage, were surprisingly powerful, even subtly suppressing his prized golden bone defense.
In the brief exchange, his painstakingly refined golden bones were burned in more than ten places. Chen Yi felt a pang of heartache when he thought about the precious golden resources needed to repair them.
Initially, Chen Yi did indeed have the idea of killing the opponent to recover the losses.
After unleashing a burst of Thunderfire Golden Crystal, it was discovered that it had merely knocked the opponent away, without even probing their trump card.
The opponent's powerful body-refining cultivation was no weaker than Chen Yi's own.
Considering the remaining four Thunderfire Gold Crystals and a dozen or so Four-Colored Gold Radiance, Chen Yi judged that his chances of completely killing the opponent were less than 50%.
If the opponent still has escape or defensive trump cards up their sleeve, these precious resources will be wasted. The risk and reward are clearly disproportionate.
Chen Yi decided to spare her for the time being.
Once he has developed further and encounters her again, Chen Yi is confident that he can crush her and then make up for all the suffering and beatings he endured today, with interest!
It should be noted that Chen Yi only needs to obtain the Vajra Technique of the third-level body refinement to enter the third-level body refinement at any time.
What truly prompted Chen Yi to decide to flee was that bizarre soul attack.
The attack on his soul was quite powerful, but Chen Yi's soul was also very strong, and he managed to defend against it.
What truly terrified him was the ancient demonic thought that had quietly infiltrated beneath the attack.
The intensity of that demonic thought was very low, about the same as Chen Yi's wisp of third-tier divine thought.
The strength of this demonic thought was only comparable to Chen Yi's third-order divine thought, but its essential quality far exceeded expectations.
With Chen Yi's current spiritual cultivation, he was completely helpless against the demonic invasion.
He was really panicked.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have resorted to fusing his divine sense with the Golden Bone Thunder Pattern in a desperate situation, willing to risk everything to eliminate it.
Fortunately, his attempt succeeded.
Or rather, all his years of accumulated experience were used in crucial areas.
The first attempt to fuse and guide lightning spiritual power with divine sense—or perhaps it wasn't even lightning spiritual power at all, just a wisp of electricity—successfully succeeded.
While successfully annihilating the demonic thought of the opponent...
Chen Yi's soul also suffered a brief paralysis and a deafening pain, temporarily losing his ability to probe with his divine sense.
Without the aid of divine sense, Chen Yi's combat power was reduced by more than half.
Considering that the enemy might have yet to come up with any powerful new methods,
Chen Yi didn't even think about it.
While shattering the opponent's soul attack, he cast a second-tier high-grade Illusionary Truth Talisman.
He immediately used his full strength to conceal his breath and activated the Earth Escape Talisman to escape.
Chen Yi didn't even consider the existence of the Thunder Pool with its powerful energy or the external passage behind the Thunder Soul Sect's inheritance hall.
Run away to save your life first.
Therefore, even in earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique),
Upon hearing the female cultivator's offer of goodwill and willingness to cooperate, Chen Yi didn't hesitate at all.
The other party's demonic intent was menacing.
Chen Yi decided that before he fully mastered the technique of fusing his divine soul with the thunder spirit and possessed the means to completely annihilate that demonic thought,
I don't intend to fight them again.
Furthermore, the Nine Yin Demon Flame that the other party claims to control is even more sinister and bizarre.
Chen Yi secretly decided that after leaving the secret realm, he must carefully study the ancient texts to find a way to counteract the evil.
If he cannot find a solution, he will never again provoke this stunningly beautiful, slender, and snow-white female cultivator from the demonic sect.
He shook his head, forcibly dispelling the image of the female cultivator from his mind.
Such a thorny black rose, let whoever wants to pick it pick it; he'd rather stay far away.
As for exposing the other party's identity as a witch? Chen Yi didn't have the time or inclination for that.
First, if you rashly expose them, you are very likely to provoke the other party to hunt you down at all costs;
Now that the other party has acknowledged Chen Yi's abilities and expressed a willingness to cooperate,
Chen Yi didn't want to further escalate the female cultivator's hostility towards him.
This is not cowardice, but rather a matter of assessing the situation—the safest option right now is to temporarily avoid confrontation.
When his strength is sufficient to overwhelm his opponent, he will naturally have the final say in everything.
Besides,
More importantly, Chen Yi had no way of explaining this to the Core Formation cultivators of the Jade Dragon Sect or the royal family.
How so?
"Her Nine Yin Demon Flames were not as powerful as this; they were blocked by my Golden Bones and repelled by my Thunder Spirit Golden Crystal."
That ancient demonic thought entered my mind, but I destroyed it by fusing my divine sense with lightning.
That's when I realized she was a female cultivator from the Demonic Sect, and that she was colluding with ancient demonic thoughts.
With this explanation, it's uncertain whether the witch will be captured.
Chen Yi estimated that he would be sliced up soon.
He, a bald body cultivator who appeared out of nowhere, suddenly possessed such a strong divine soul inheritance.
It doesn't make any sense at all.
even,
To be on the safe side, Chen Yi planned to stop using the identity of Bald Xu Jiu after leaving the secret realm.
We've already made enough of a splash in the secret realm; it's not wise for us to attract any more attention.
After leaving the underground cave,
Chen Yi released the Crimson Flame Sparrow, which had now grown to half a zhang in size. Chen Yi then affixed a Lightness Talisman to himself.
He then used the Concealing Breath Technique to leap directly onto the back of the Crimson Flame Sparrow.
Although the Crimson Flame Sparrow was struggling, it was giving it its all, and its travel speed was not slow. It left the Medicine Valley at a speed close to that of the late Foundation Establishment stage.
After a 15-minute journey, he successfully left Lake and Sea Immortal City and returned to the former Lake and Sea Market – now the Fucheng area.
Even after entering the secret room beneath his private kitchen, Chen Yi could still feel the buzzing vibrations deep within his soul.
Although the previous divine lightning successfully annihilated the ancient demonic thoughts, it also severely impacted his divine sense.
At this moment, his thoughts were in a state of confusion, and his top priority was to completely stabilize his soul.
Chen Yi activated the seven-layered composite protective array set up inside the cave to ensure that his cultivation process would not be disturbed.
Then he entered a deep period of seclusion.
He poured all his spiritual power into the Green Sprout Jade Dew of his second divine aperture.
Nourished by divine sense, the green plant gradually developed a lustrous sheen, and the spiritual dew condensing at its tip became increasingly crystal clear.
Chen Yi did not hesitate to use the precious spiritual dew, carefully taking out a portion of the crystal-clear spiritual liquid from the top of the Green Seedling Jade Dew.
He focused his mind and evenly sprinkled the spiritual dew across the entire damaged soul space.
The moment the spiritual liquid came into contact with the soul, it seeped in silently, like spring rain nourishing all things.
Each drop of spiritual dew contains pure life energy, flowing slowly through the meridians of the divine consciousness.
The soul, which had been disordered by the impact of the thunder, began to gradually calm down under the nourishment of this gentle power.
The areas of consciousness that had been shaken and buzzed by the lightning strikes slowly returned to calm under the nourishment of the spiritual dew.
The damaged spiritual energy channels, like a dried-up riverbed regaining water, began to revive.
Chen Yin could clearly feel that wherever the spiritual dew touched, the numbness in his soul was fading, and the tearing pain was also lessening.
As the spiritual dew continued to take effect, Chen Yi's spiritual state gradually stabilized.
The previously chaotic and blurry sea of consciousness became clear again, and the divine power that had been scattered by the lightning began to re-condense.
Chen Yi slowly opened his eyes and found that the outside light had gone through the alternation of day and night.
He did a quick calculation and realized that a whole day had passed.
"Simply drawing a wisp of electricity from the Golden Bone Thunder Pattern into the soul caused such severe damage."
Chen Yi was secretly alarmed.
Even with the aid of rare spiritual treasures like the Jade Dew of Green Seedlings, it still took so long to barely recover.
He felt a lingering, subtle numbness in his soul, and couldn't help but feel awe for the ancient Thunder Soul Sect's legacy:
"How exactly does one cultivate to withstand the power of such legendary Soul Thunder inheritance?"
His spiritual state finally stabilized, and his various functions were basically restored, but Chen Yi was not in a hurry to continue cultivating.
He looked down at his body and saw that the surface of more than a dozen golden bones still bore the charred marks left by the Nine Yin Demon Flame. These damages had not yet been repaired.
Fortunately, the energy remaining from the Nine Yin Demon Flame had been almost completely absorbed by the system.
Chen Yi has some special Yin Fire energy stored in his body, but he hasn't figured out how to use it yet.
At this moment, Chen Yi was extremely cautious, trying to reduce the frequency of using his divine sense.
He decided to wait until his soul was fully restored before slowly repairing the damaged golden bones and dealing with the yin fire energy.
He wanted to do a brief debriefing of his entry into the secret realm, recalling any unstable areas, the dangers encountered, and whether any could have been avoided.
And whether it will leave you with any potential future troubles, and if so, how to reduce or eliminate them.
Firstly, regarding the gains, the overall harvest from this trip into the secret realm was quite good.
The completion of the Golden Bone, the condensation of four-colored golden radiance, and the initial transformation of two fingers into jade bones are all major breakthroughs in cultivation.
Azure Wind Escape, Blazing Sun True Body Technique, Blazing Sun Incarnation—these are the accumulations of cultivation techniques.
There are still three Earth Spirit Stone Milks left, as well as a body full of Thunderfire Golden Crystals, Thunderfire Golden Radiance, and Four-Colored Golden Radiance, etc. This is the accumulation of resources.
Of these, Chen Yi felt the most important were the jade bones of those two fingers, and the lightning bolt that was finally detected in his soul by the fusion of divine sense and electric light.
This allowed Chen Yi to experience the true shock that thunder could inflict on the soul.
"Cultivating Jade Bones cannot be rushed."
Chen Yi secretly made his own calculations.
This requires a lot of resources to refine slowly, but right now it's more important to consolidate the existing achievements.
And then,
After he achieved mastery of the Golden Bone technique, he could attempt to develop the fourth Divine Aperture. Currently, the spiritual cultivation of his three Divine Apertures has reached the near-third level.
If the fourth divine aperture is developed, one may need to advance to the third rank, and may very well face the bombardment of divine soul thunder like Qin Chengcheng.
but,
Having experienced the fusion of his divine sense with the lightning within the Golden Bone Thunder Pattern, Chen Yi was no longer as afraid of the thunderous attacks at the soul level as he had been at the beginning.
And thinking of the soul,
Chen Yi's heart stirred.
After his mind had completely calmed down, he seemed to have discovered something.
Within the soul, after being nourished by the spiritual dew, there were still more than a dozen unknown and unclaimed soul energies drifting about.
It was a black crystal.
Chen Yi sensed it slightly and discovered that the divine soul energy contained within the black crystal was not very strong, at most only one-tenth of his third-tier divine sense.
But there seemed to be very high-grade items inside. They were extremely solid, and their surfaces were covered with intricate inscriptions. Their grade was far higher than imagined.
Even using all of his third-order divine sense, he could only barely decipher the meaning of a small portion of the inscriptions.
Chen Yi recalled carefully that these black crystals should be the remnants of the ancient demonic thought that was annihilated by the divine soul lightning.
The power of thunder had completely erased the demonic will, leaving only the purest divine soul energy, which was compressed into this special crystalline form during the bombardment.
Chen Yi attempted to analyze the runes on the black crystal with his third-order divine sense, only to find that the quality of these inscriptions far exceeded his comprehension.
That wisp of divine thought was like an ant trying to shake a tree; it couldn't completely lock onto the trajectory of the runes, let alone smoothly understand their mysteries.
"This is too much trouble. The quality of this black crystal is beyond my comprehension."
Chen Yi shook his head inwardly, deciding not to waste any more energy and to directly activate the system assistance.
[Unknown divine soul energy detected. Initiating the absorption process.]
[Progress of data consumption.]
The system's feedback on the rate of absorption is abnormally slow, clearly indicating that this high-order energy exceeds the current system's analytical capabilities.
After a moment's thought, Chen Yi tried another approach—he once again mobilized that wisp of third-order divine sense and actively established a connection with the black crystal.
[Special spirituality detected in the divine soul crystal; directional devouring mode activated]
[Consuming progress 1%]
As the inscriptions within the black crystal were gradually deciphered, Chen Yi was surprised to find that the quality of his soul was rapidly improving.
That originally isolated third-order divine sense gradually assimilated the surrounding ordinary divine senses during the process of devouring, increasing in number like a snowball.
When the absorption progress reached halfway, Chen Yi looked inward into his sea of consciousness and found that the number of third-order divine thoughts had increased from the initial one strand to over a hundred strands.
These pure divine thoughts flowed through his sea of consciousness. Although they only accounted for about 1% of his total divine consciousness, each strand contained an intensity far exceeding that of ordinary divine consciousness.
What surprised Chen Yi even more was that as the proportion of third-order divine sense increased, his overall divine sense strength was also steadily increasing.
The spiritual meridians that were originally damaged by the lightning strikes recovered significantly faster under the nourishment of these high-quality divine thoughts.
He tried to mobilize these newly formed third-order divine senses and found that they were not only more solid, but also much more efficient at analyzing the remaining inscriptions on the black crystal.
Chen Yi secretly estimated that if he could completely devour these black crystals, the number of his third-order divine senses would likely break through to several hundred strands, at which point the strength of his divine senses would reach a new level.
Perhaps less than 10% of their spiritual energy can reach the third level.
If this were possible, Chen Yi's spiritual sense would be incomparable to what it was before.
Whether it's continuing to develop the fourth divine aperture, assisting in magical power cultivation, aiding in the fusion of body-refining golden radiance, or enhancing the power of the divine sense needle and divine sense shield,
Or perhaps it's preparing for the sudden Soul Lightning Tribulation that might occur when the Divine Soul advances to the third tier ahead of schedule.
Chen Yi was confident that he could complete the task more efficiently and face it more calmly.
Of course, Chen Yi had an idea that would allow him to more safely advance his divine sense to the third level.
That was to imitate the previous divine guidance and merge with the lightning patterns in the skull.
He subtly guided it into Chen Yi's soul, actively tempering its resistance to and ability to absorb lightning.
Although Chen Yi did not know the specific details of the Soul Thunder Sect's most fundamental inheritance,
But having cultivated to this point, he vaguely sensed that...
Such an attempt will bring countless benefits to one's future cultivation of the soul path.
