Chapter 272 Soul Collection
Buzz!
The Jade Prince kneaded the magic formula with his hand, and the whole hall trembled slightly, and a black light curtain rose from the surroundings, covering everyone in it.
This was the first time Xu Mu had seen this kind of black light curtain, and he couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes.
After the light curtain rose, the Jade Prince flew over and landed in front of the God Refining Cauldron. He then shot out a series of magic formulas and entered the God Refining Cauldron. The originally calm God Refining Cauldron began to appear with faint golden light. The dim runes gradually began to command.
The others hurriedly flew onto the cauldron and began to use the magic formula to mobilize the power of the Jiu cauldron.
On the originally plain ground, veins began to appear, emitting golden light, connecting with each other to form a complex formation network.
The light rose from the ground and converged towards the God Refining Cauldron in the center. Xu Mu felt that his spiritual power was being continuously absorbed and consumed.
After all, it’s just a battery!
Xu Mu complained in his heart.
But this is normal. With their cultivation and strength, even if the Divine Refining Cauldron is given to them, they will not be able to control it.
In fact, it is more of a support. When Lord Jade is operating the Divine Refining Cauldron, they can use the Jiuding to help the other party reduce the pressure.
The Divine Refining Cauldron, which originally only emitted a faint light, immediately shone brightly after receiving the help of the Nine Great Cauldrons, as if it had come alive, and turned into a brilliant golden appearance.
"open!"
The Jade Prince chuckled softly, and the lid of the Divine Refining Cauldron slowly opened.
"If you don't move now, wait until later!"
Prince Jade looked around, and Xu Lingyu and others immediately sat cross-legged, and then illusory soul bodies flew out of the body.
This is a soul-exiting method that can be easily used by soul cultivators. It is very different from ordinary practitioners simply releasing their souls.
These soul bodies were suspended in front of each other. They didn't know what kind of magic they had cast, and they suddenly emitted bursts of abnormal fluctuations.
Xu Mu could feel the fluctuations, as if he had put his hand in the water. The surging power was very clear, but he could not see it, nor could his spiritual mind capture it.
As the mysterious soul fluctuations spread out, the originally peaceful nine-story prison suddenly heard bursts of wind.
woo woo woo woo!
Just like the dark wind blowing in the mountains!
The wind was getting louder and louder, and people's whispers could be heard faintly.
It was like screaming and wailing, like cursing and begging for mercy, as if it was constantly cursing the world.
This scene is enough to frighten ordinary people, but to everyone present, it is nothing.
They are immortal cultivators, and all of them are big bosses in the middle and late stages of Jindan. Even if the real demons and ghosts come, they can only kneel down.
"coming!"
Xu Mu opened his eyes and saw wisps of black air flying in through the black barrier.
Their target is not the Jade Prince or the Great Cauldron, but the surrounding Xu Lingyu and others whose souls have left their bodies.
This is what bait is for!
They will attract all the resentment of the remaining souls hidden in the prison.
Buzz!
At this time, Prince Jade activated the power of the Divine Refining Cauldron, and an invisible air machine appeared, generating a strong suction force and pulling all the black energy into the cauldron.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
A faint scream, like a mosquito, came from the cauldron.
Xu Mu also felt that the consumption rate of spiritual energy in his body increased significantly.
This is soul refining!
"You take turns hosting!"
The Jade Prince's voice came out.
Everyone could only nod in agreement.
Then the Jade Prince took control of the big cauldron, and everyone relied on the nine separate cauldrons to take turns stimulating the power of the God Refining Cauldron and absorb the incoming black energy.
The Jade Prince focused on restoring his spiritual power and stayed at the last moment to refine the remaining souls.
Xu Lingyu and others concentrated on using their soul waves to attract more and more remnant souls.
At first, these remnant souls were just shapeless black energy, then slowly began to appear some black energy with grimaces, and then remnant souls with arms and legs.
These remnant souls were obviously fused, devoured, and pieced together, and they all looked very strange.
Some have eight eyes, some have three hands, and some have eight legs. Anyway, none of them look like normal people.
After these remnant souls with complete shapes appeared, everyone's pressure suddenly increased.
The power released by the God Refining Cauldron is getting stronger and stronger, otherwise it would be impossible to absorb these remaining souls.
At the same time, these remnant souls have also gained some resistance to the power of the Divine Refining Cauldron, and they will take this opportunity to attack everyone in the hall.
In other words, everyone not only has to preside over the Divine Refining Cauldron, but also has to resist these remnant souls, who may launch an attack at any time.
Do two things at once!
The difficulty can be imagined.
On the contrary, Xu Lingyu and others, who were used as bait, dealt with it quite easily and comfortably.
Their technique was designed to restrain the remnant souls, and they didn't need to separate their minds to control the refining cauldron like Xu Mu and others did, so it was much easier to deal with them.
This is when personal differences become apparent.
It will be easier to deal with the people around you who are of higher realms, stronger, and have a deeper understanding of the magic formula.
It will naturally be much more difficult for those who have insufficient cultivation, are relatively weak, and do not have a deep understanding of the techniques.
Xu Mu is one of them.
Of course, this was Xu Mu's deliberate performance. He just didn't want to attract too many people's attention.
After all, he has the shortest time for enlightenment and his level of cultivation is not high. If he performs too eye-catchingly, he will definitely be suspected by others.
Seeing Xu Mu's situation, Murong Shun's face inevitably showed an expression of gloating.
The control of the Divine Refining Cauldron is constantly rotating among the nine people, as if there is no end.
Seven days passed in a row, and there were still countless remnant souls pouring into the sky prison, which made Xu Mu couldn't help but feel numb.
How many remnant souls are hidden in this prison? In other words, how many people have died here in the past hundred years?
Otherwise, how could it be possible to gather so many remnant souls?
Also, this God-Refining Cauldron is terrifying enough. It contains so many remnant souls, but it doesn't seem to have reached its limit.
Judging by the time, it should be almost done.
Xu Mu thought secretly in his heart.
At this time, in addition to him, the other eight people also showed varying degrees of fatigue, and they were obviously approaching their limit.
Xu Lingyu and others who were in charge of making the bait also sweated on their foreheads and needed to take their souls back into their bodies from time to time to recover.
At this time, the entire hall was almost covered by remnant souls, and there were several remnant souls around everyone who were constantly attacking, consuming their less and less energy.
At this moment, Lord Jade finally opened his eyes and personally controlled the Divine Refining Cauldron, absorbing all the remaining souls in the hall almost in the blink of an eye.
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief and felt that they could wait for the mission to end.
Murong Shun glanced at Xu Mu bitterly, wondering how he could hold on until the end. It felt like he couldn't hold on any longer every time it was his turn.
You're lucky this damn guy!
Everyone else also glanced at him and thought he was really lucky.
Xu Mu smiled with relief, which made Murong Shun even more angry.
Xu Lingyu also took a breath and took his soul back into his body.
Just when everyone thought that the Jade Prince was going to cover the lid of the God Refining Cauldron and start refining the soul, the Jade Prince took out a magic weapon with a gray cloth banner and threw it in.
The cloth flag was covered with strange and strange faces, which looked very ferocious and strange.
Everyone on the field couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Never heard of this step in the soul refining process?
After the gray cloth flag was thrown in, the ghostly face on the canvas immediately came to life, flew out from inside, turned into nine green-faced and fanged evil spirits, and began to devour the remaining souls inside.
Seeing this scene in front of them, those soul cultivators seemed to have thought of something, and their expressions changed drastically.
"Ten Thousand Souls Banner!!!"
