Chapter 316: Independent Soul

Yuan Ming walked quickly to Li Na, grabbed his head before it hit the ground, and then wanted to use soul search to find out the identity of the Black River God.

However, before he could use the magic technique, he saw Li Na's soul explode suddenly, and a wisp of black smoke came out of it, and quickly disappeared into the earth wall above the sunken sand city.

Yuan Ming's face darkened, knowing that this might be a trick set up by the people behind Li Xiao, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He sighed, then picked up the beads and storage bag from Li Xiao's body, looked around at the believers and people who were standing again, and raised Li Xiao's head high.

"I am the envoy of the Dark Moon God. I have rectified the false gods' minions on the spot. The Dark Moon God illuminates the earth. The good are protected and the evil are punished. You must remember this from now on."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of intense silvery white light erupted from his body, wrapping him and flying into the full moon hanging above everyone's heads. At this time, the flower branches also lowered everyone, and they were once again surrounded by light butterflies. , flew into the full moon.

Everyone witnessed what just happened before their eyes, and were shocked by the power of the Moon God. They cheered and became more devout in their faith.

In the corner of the crowd, Yuan Ming saw this scene, nodded, and then slowly released the illusion, recalled Huazhi and his insect demon brother, turned around, left here, and returned to his residence in the inner city.

Everything else can be left to Hu Ji.

"Master, how are you? I did a good job, didn't I?" As soon as she returned to her residence, Huazhi couldn't wait to start asking for credit.

Yuan Ming nodded and praised without hesitation: "I feel that you were born to do this kind of thing. What do you want?"

"I don't want anything. I just hope that the master won't let me stay in the spirit beast bag. It's dark there and it's too boring." Huazhi immediately pleaded.

Yuan Ming thought for a while, Huazhi is now becoming more and more humane, and does not like to practice hard. On the contrary, he grows faster by practicing freely in the wild. Before, he was near Wangyue City because there were few monsters, so his strength had not improved in five years. Big changes, now in a place like Black Wind Desert where there are many monsters, since he has this idea, it would be better to let him out.

After thinking about this, Yuan Ming nodded: "That's fine, but you can't be too wild outside. Don't go too far from Zhensha City. Pay attention to safety, otherwise you will be in trouble if you encounter the black wind."

Huazhi quickly agreed.

Then, Yuan Ming took out a talisman, a breathing cloak, and a set of black clothes that could cover his body.

"Put these things away. There is a magic circle underground here. Just walk through the city gate. Wear a cloak and clothes when entering and exiting the city so that no one can identify you. In addition, this evil amulet is said to be able to avoid evil to a certain extent. It can resist the evil spirit in the black wind, but it needs to be drilled underground. If you really can't make it back to the city, you can try it. "

He spent a lot of money to buy this evil talisman in the city. The person who sold it didn't dare to guarantee whether it would really work. Therefore, only wealthy monks in the foundation-building stage would buy one just in case. Now that Yuan Ming doesn't need to leave the city very much, it would be appropriate to give him to Huazhi.

Huazhi knew the value of this thing, and felt even more grateful and close to Yuan Ming.

He took the things in Yuan Ming's hands, took the insect demon brother and said goodbye to Yuan Ming, then turned and left.

After sending away the flower branches, Yuan Ming took out the ball that Li Na had previously held.

The round bead was a high-grade magic weapon. Yuan Ming put it away after playing with it for a while, and then checked Li Na's storage bag.

There weren't many things in the bag. Apart from the elixirs and spiritual stones, there was only a palm-sized gourd instrument.

This gourd is completely black, and its shell is made of Nine Netherworld iron. It feels cold when held in the hand. It is carved with many complex patterns. It is divided into two sides. On one side, there is a bright sun in the sky, and there is a streak hidden in the scorching sun Underneath the blurry figure, countless monks and mortals worshiped.

On the other side, there is a moon hanging high in the sky. A faceless man sits cross-legged under the full moon, holding it in his hands, as if holding up the moon, and as if he wants to hold the moon in his palms, and around this man , countless innocent souls are chasing and fighting, like a state of purgatory.

"This is the Nine Netherworld Iron!" Yuan Ming looked at the gourd and let out a light sigh.

His Soul-Destroying Sword is mainly made of Nine Netherworld Iron. This iron is extremely precious. The gourd is actually made of Dark Iron. The power behind Li Na is probably not small.

Yuan Ming took out the gourd and tried to activate it, but found that the gourd seemed to require special techniques to be used.

He tried to pry with his spiritual consciousness again, and then he was surprised to find that there was a large amount of wish power stored in the gourd.

Yuan Ming was amazed, this gourd could actually store the power of will!

Apart from the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, he had never seen an object that could store a large amount of wish power, except for the incense ash which could store a small amount of wish power.

Could this black gourd be a treasure similar to the Tiantian Cauldron?

But besides being made of Nine Nether Iron, this gourd doesn't have very delicate runes, it's just a magic weapon level.

He unfolded his consciousness and carefully sensed the situation inside the gourd, and soon discovered that there was a finger-sized white thing inlaid at the bottom of the gourd, which looked like a jade fragment.

The jade fragments emitted a gravitational force, and all the willpower in the gourd slowly rotated around the jade. Occasionally, there was a surge of willpower, but it was blocked by the Nine Netherworld Iron Shell of the gourd, without any spillage.

Yuan Ming understood that the reason why this gourd could store the power of will was mainly due to the role of the jade fragment, and the outer shell of the Nine Netherworld Iron was just a container.

What is the origin of this jade fragment, and it can actually attract the power of wish?

He immediately tried to extract the willpower, but found that he could not mobilize the willpower at all, and could only watch with envy.

He tried to probe his consciousness to the jade fragments in the center of the gourd, but as his consciousness approached, he felt a suction force pulling his consciousness, sucking it into the fragments, and soon lost contact with Yuan Ming.

This suction force was extremely strong, far stronger than the Soul-Destroying Sword.

Yuan Ming was greatly surprised, and after studying it for a while, he found that he could neither use the willpower nor take out the jade fragments inside, unless he made up his mind to destroy this magic weapon.

Helplessly, he sighed and could only put it away silently, thinking about the matter of the Black River God in his heart.

Although he killed Li Xia this time, the scene before his death showed that there was another mastermind behind Li Xia.

And this mastermind seemed to be collecting willpower, and I don’t know what to use it for?

In addition, after the attempt just now, he also confirmed again that he could only absorb the willpower generated for himself. The willpower generated for others was useless to him and could not even be mobilized.

Yuan Ming pondered for a moment, and didn't have much clue for the time being, so he simply held the mentality of "when the enemy comes, the general will block the water, and when the water comes, the earth will cover it", and responded to all changes with the same attitude.

The most urgent task is to improve his cultivation and strength as soon as possible.

With this in mind, Yuan Ming sat cross-legged, summoned the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, and continued to absorb the willpower.

Waves of willpower were transmitted from the surroundings and converged in the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, which was much more than before.

During this period of time, as the image of the Dark Moon God created by himself was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, coupled with Hu Ji's talented operation, the collected willpower increased in an orderly manner, and this time the head-on attack on the Black River Divine Cult was even more effective.

In this way, his Dark Moon Art practice will surely make rapid progress again.

He thought so in his heart, and at the same time controlled the soul to absorb and refine all the willpower, and the soul power in the sea of ​​consciousness increased rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

In the secret room, Yuan Ming, who had closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, suddenly stopped absorbing the willpower. There was a wave between his eyebrows, and a transparent soul crow flew out and circled in the room.

Compared with the initial size, the transparent soul crow has increased several times, and the soul power fluctuation has also increased greatly.

It’s just that the soul power fluctuation is slightly sluggish, not as agile as before.

"This Huanxin Jue is really weird. It has only reached the second level, and the impact on the soul is so great." Yuan Ming muttered to himself.

The soul has been running Huanxin Jue for a while, and has reached the second level with the help of a lot of willpower.

Like the Mingyue Jue, Huanxin Jue is also divided into six levels.

The consciousness in the soul is not strong, and Huanxin Jue has the effect of destroying the seven emotions and six desires, and the consciousness of the soul has become weaker.

But this is also a good thing, the soul will never be able to escape from his control.

Moreover, if the Huanxin Jue reaches the second level, he can also try a secret technique.

Yuan Ming retracted the split soul into the sea of ​​consciousness and quickly made a seal with both hands.

The soul power in the transparent soul crow slowly surged, and a crack gradually appeared in the middle, which quickly became larger and deeper.

"Crack!" Yuan Ming shouted, and the transparent soul crow split into two halves.

The two parts of soul power quickly squirmed, and after a few breaths, they turned into two slightly smaller transparent soul crows.

This is the soul splitting technique recorded in the jade slip of the great elder, and it is necessary to practice the Huanxin Jue to the second level before it can be performed.

Yuan Ming only felt a sharp pain in his sea of ​​consciousness, as if it was split by an axe, which was much more painful than the last time when the soul was split due to the backlash of the Soul-Destroying Sword.

He gritted his teeth and endured it, his body trembling, and it took a while to relax.

"I didn't expect the soul splitting technique to cost so much. I split the split soul, and it hurts so much. If I split the main soul, I'm afraid I will die of pain." Yuan Ming was still frightened.

He sensed the two transparent soul crows, and they still had the ability to travel far and possess, and nodded secretly.

The elder's jade slip was true, the split soul could retain its previous abilities.

With two split souls, he could do more things.

And in the future, as he continued to refine his willpower, the number of split souls could continue to increase. If one day he had hundreds of soul crows like the elder, he would not be afraid of more people from Changchun Temple chasing him.

Yuan Ming raised his hand and waved, and Zuo Qinghui's body appeared on the ground.

In the past six months, the transparent soul crow rarely possessed Zuo Qinghui's body. Although this body still maintained vitality, its magic power had almost completely dissipated.

Yuan Ming controlled a soul crow and entered Zuo Qinghui's body.

His eyes were full of color again, and he sat up.

Yuan Ming controlled Zuo Qinghui to sit cross-legged again and practiced the Golden Shadow Sword Technique.

The spiritual energy of the nearby heaven and earth began to flow and converged towards Zuo Qinghui's body.

Zuo Qinghui, who was possessed by the transparent soul crow, could practice. It seemed that this body had been completely restored and was no different from that of an ordinary person. With his soul control, Zuo Qinghui could be used as a special clone.

Moreover, Zuo Qinghui had both gold and water spiritual roots, and was originally a cultivator in the Jindan stage. Although the golden elixir had been broken, his potential was still great and worth cultivating.

Yuan Ming accelerated the operation of the Golden Shadow Sword Technique, and the technique ran very smoothly, which did not seem like the first time he practiced this sword technique.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was quickly transformed into mana, which was stored in Zuo Qinghui's dantian.

"Even if the soul is annihilated, some of Zuo Qinghui's practice experience still remains in this body." Yuan Ming said secretly.

This is a good thing. With Zuo Qinghui's qualifications and the remaining practice experience, his practice will soon be improved.

"Take these pills and use them first, and improve your cultivation as soon as possible." Yuan Ming took out several bottles of Qi Refining Pills and handed them over.

The insect pills in his hand were too powerful, and Zuo Qinghui couldn't bear them at the moment.

Zuo Qinghui took them, went to another room, and practiced on his own.

Yuan Ming also sat down cross-legged and practiced the Nine Yuan Jue.
