Chapter 785 Soul Beast
The hurricane beast never dreamed that it would meet its nemesis and lose its life unjustly.
Fairy Gu Han waved her hand slightly, and the obviously smaller wind-fixing bead flew to her palm and was collected by her.
"I didn't expect Fairy Gu Han to carry the treasure of the Yu Shui Palace with her, so it's no wonder that the hurricane beast was put last." Tianying Patriarch looked at Fairy Gu Han and said with a smile.
"This is natural. If the wind-fixing bead was disturbed by the lava ghost fire beast when it was sacrificed, it would fail. Moreover, it is really not easy to break the strong wind of such a huge hurricane beast, and it also consumes the spiritual power in the wind-fixing bead."
"Let's keep going." After saying that, Fairy Gu Han said to Xiao Lin and others, and then took the lead to continue to go deep into the lava plain.
"Second Elder, are you going to let that kid get that ancient spiritual treasure?" After Fairy Gu Han and others walked away, Tian Jue Yao Ji behind Tianying Patriarch came to her side and said indignantly.
"Hehe, now he has Fairy Gu Han backing him up, so stay calm. We still need to cooperate later. As long as the cooperation ends, we can kill that guy and take away the many treasures on him." Tianying Patriarch was surprised to see the many spiritual treasures on Xiao Lin, and listed him as a must-kill target in his mind.
"Second Elder is wise."
"Hehe, that ancient spiritual treasure that can emit the netherworld fire is extremely important to this elder. Once the two sides start fighting later, Elder Cen must help this elder to seize the ancient spiritual treasure." This sentence was said by Tianying Patriarch to Tianjue Yaofei through the secret art of sound transmission.
"Second elder, rest assured. As long as you get this ancient spiritual treasure, you will no longer be afraid of the Jade Demon. Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Concubine and the Jade Demon have always been at odds. When the time comes, they will both be defeated, and the second elder can reap the benefits, haha."
"That's good to know. Don't worry. Once the Jade Demon is eliminated and the worry of this seat is eliminated, the position of the Heavenly Demon Concubine will definitely be yours."
"Then I would like to thank the second elder first."
The rest of the people naturally did not know about the conversation between the Tianying Patriarch and the Tianjue Yaoji. They kept a distance of about 100 feet from Xiao Lin and others and just followed behind them.
Two days later.
Fairy Gu Han and others and Tianying Patriarch and others gathered together again. They looked at a huge tree at the edge of the sky and showed horrified expressions.
But in their eyes, there was excitement.
"Is that the Ghost King Tree?" Shui Ruohan's pretty face was full of surprise, and her eyes were shining with strange light.
Xiao Lin had also heard Shui Ruohan mention that the Ghost King Tree was a sacred tree in the netherworld. The real Ghost King Tree was said to connect heaven and earth and the netherworld.
It was one of the sacred trees between heaven and earth. It was said that the Ghost King Tree grew by absorbing the souls of the dead. No matter whether it was a person or a cultivator, once they died, their souls would enter the netherworld.
Not all spirits could be reincarnated. Some souls would be transformed into ghosts, and some would gradually break apart due to their weak soul power, turning into pure soul power and returning to heaven and earth.
The Ghost King Tree grew by absorbing soul power. After countless years of growth, it would produce soul-grabbing beads, which could capture the souls of mortals and cultivators.
Moreover, the soul-grabbing beads themselves were also a magical tool condensed by soul power, which could be used to refine the legendary soul tool.
The soul tool was an alternative magical tool independent of the magical tools currently used in the cultivation world. Soul tools were also divided into two types: attack and defense. However, the attack and defense of soul tools were directly applied to the divine mind.
For cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, the carrier of their divine thoughts is the soul, which is hidden deep inside the Nascent Soul. As the cultivator's realm improves, the Nascent Soul will continue to grow. With each realm upgrade, the Nascent Soul will grow one inch. For cultivators who have cultivated to the peak of the Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul can reach four inches.
According to rumors, if a cultivator can cultivate to the peak of the God Transformation, the Nascent Soul in his body will be the same size as the body. At this time, the Nascent Soul of a cultivator at the God Transformation stage is completely stable, and with the ability to teleport, he can come and go almost at will, and there will be nothing in this mortal world that can restrict him.
Xiao Lin is naturally full of yearning for this realm, but throughout the ages, although there are many inspirational stories of cultivators advancing to the God Transformation stage, after advancing to the God Transformation stage, these people will inexplicably disappear in front of people and disappear without a trace.
For Xiao Lin, it is basically impossible to know the secrets without cultivating to that level.
It is said that the power of divine thoughts is an extension of soul power. The two complement each other. Therefore, once a soul weapon is trained and used to attack the enemy, the attack will directly affect the enemy's divine thoughts.
Even a cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul only has a very limited divine thought defense power. Only a great cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul can use the power of divine thoughts to condense into a divine thought blade to attack the enemy.
But this kind of attack is also very limited. Usually, unless the enemy is two realms lower than the enemy, it can only temporarily paralyze the enemy's divine thoughts and make him dizzy.
Real soul weapons, like magic weapons, are divided into four types: primary, intermediate, advanced and top-grade. However, even a primary soul weapon is enough to severely damage the divine thoughts of a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul.
This is the terrifying thing about soul weapons.
So when everyone saw the towering ancient tree on the horizon, they all showed an ecstatic expression. If they could get the Soul-Capturing Bead and refine a Soul Tool with it, they could at least ensure that they would be able to face enemies of the same level without worry.
"I didn't expect that the Ghost King Tree actually existed. I always thought it was just a legend." Lin Cang exclaimed.
"The real Ghost King Tree is rumored to grow in the Netherworld. The one in front of us, even if it is real, is just a section of the root of the real Ghost King Tree." Fairy Gu Han said lightly.
When everyone heard this, they all took a breath of cold air in their hearts. A section of the root is so huge, how amazing is the real Ghost King Tree? Can it really grow through many realms?
Everyone found it hard to believe.
Even Xiao Lin didn't dare to believe that there was such a sacred tree in the world.
Since the Ghost King Tree has appeared, it means that the Ten Thousand Ghosts Pond should be nearby. The Ghost King Tree legend is that it can only grow by providing nutrients through the Ten Thousand Ghosts Pond.
"But everyone should be extremely careful. The soul-grabbing bead on the Ghost King Tree has a very strong soul-grabbing power as long as it has not left the Ghost King Tree. Once it is too close, even Yuanying cultivators like us may have our souls instantly captured and become a corpse."
After a pause, Tianying Patriarch continued: "Besides, it is recorded in ancient books that soul beasts live under the Ghost King Tree and beside the Ten Thousand Ghosts Pond.
Soul beasts come and go without a trace and are good at capturing the souls of cultivators. Fairy Gu Han and I still have some resistance, but you and others in the early stage and For those in the middle stage, you must be extremely careful. You must stand behind Fairy Gu Han and me later. Don't go forward blindly. I have made it clear in advance. Otherwise, if your soul is captured, it will not be my fault. "
Xiao Lin's heart moved when he heard this. Whether it was the soul-sucking bead or the soul beast, they were all divine attacks. For ordinary cultivators, they were naturally unable to resist. But he practiced the Bu Tian Jing. With the current divine power, he can condense the divine storm and resist divine attacks to a certain extent.
Although he is not as good as Fairy Gu Han and Tian Ying Patriarch, who are late-stage cultivators, he is not much different.
I think even if he is attacked by a soul beast, he can still protect himself to a certain extent.
But he obviously has no intention of coming forward, and he still stands behind Fairy Gu Han honestly. The Bu Tian Jing is his secret. Except for Lin Xueying, even his precious disciples don't know it.
Moreover, he knew very well that if the Bu Tian Jing was really leaked, he would immediately become the target of public criticism, and he could not imagine what powerful enemies would be attracted.
In order to keep this secret, he even killed the Qishan Patriarch of Beilan Sect.
Fairy Gu Han sacrificed a defensive magic weapon and flew towards the Ghost King Tree on the horizon with everyone. The people of Liudao Kui Mo Palace and Xiankong Island followed closely behind Patriarch Tianying.
Although the distance seemed not far, everyone flew for an hour before arriving hundreds of feet in front of the Ghost King Tree.
Seeing the Ghost King Tree at such a close distance still shocked everyone. The Ghost King Tree was shiny black, and only the texture on the leaves was dark red.
Everyone looked at the Ghost King Tree, but they could not see how high it was. They only felt that it had already been inserted into the sky and deeply inserted into the blood cloud thousands of feet high.
Everyone could not estimate the height of the Ghost King Tree at all.
Moreover, the coverage area is also extremely amazing. The trunk alone is probably tens of miles in diameter, and thousands of feet above the trunk, some branches begin to separate, tightly surrounding the main trunk, extending out, covering an area of no less than a thousand miles.
Everyone has never seen such a wonder of heaven and earth, and they all stared at the Ghost King Tree in amazement, and remained silent for a long time.
Even Fairy Gu Han and Ancestor Tian Ying, two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, were no exception.
"My God, it's so high, how many years must it have grown." Shui Ruohan's pretty face was blank, and she muttered to herself.
"It seems that this is really the Ghost King Tree, otherwise, how can ordinary trees grow so thick and tall?"
"Second Aunt, be careful."
Shui Ruohan suddenly shouted.
Fairy Gu Han also reacted very quickly, and a green spiritual light flashed on her body, and she had retreated dozens of feet.
Seeing Fairy Gu Han retreat, Xiao Lin and others also drove the escape light and scattered.
"Soul beast." Shui Ruohan pointed to a place several dozen feet away, and when everyone looked carefully, they found that there was a dark shadow there. The shadow could not see its appearance clearly, but it would flash a green light every ten or so breaths.
However, this green light was very faint, and it was easy to ignore it if you didn't look carefully. After that, it turned into a transparent and faint black shadow, and it disappeared after a slight shake.
Xiao Lin understood that this soul beast would only show a trace when it was still, and when it attacked, it would become invisible, making it hard to defend against.
"Everyone gather behind me." Tianying Patriarch shouted with a gloomy face.
Everyone, including Fairy Gu Han, did not hesitate at all, and they all flashed behind Tianying Patriarch. At this time, the black star ring in Tianying Patriarch's hand flashed, and a green doll emerged.
This green doll was crystal clear, just like a piece of jade carved out, chubby, and with an innocent smile on his face.
But if you look closely, you can see that there is a horizontal crack on the belly of this emerald green doll, which makes this beautiful jade lose some color, and its eyes are closed, which is a bit weird with the smile on its face.
"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Tianying actually has a broken soul weapon in his hand. No wonder he is confident that he can resist the soul beast." Fairy Gu Han said with a surprised expression on her face.
"Hehe, this is what I accidentally bought at an underground auction, and the divine power required to sacrifice it is too huge. Even if I use up all my divine power, I can't drive it. So after getting it, I haven't used it yet, and I don't know how powerful it is. Today I just want to try this soul beast."
Hearing what Tianying Patriarch said, Fairy Gu Han behind him couldn't help but sneer, and she obviously didn't believe what Tianying Patriarch said.
But Tianying Patriarch naturally couldn't see Fairy Gu Han's expression.
"Everyone, please inject all your spiritual power into the emerald doll in front of me later, and leave the rest to me."
After saying this, Patriarch Tianying closed his eyes and began to chant.
The rest of the people did not neglect it, and they all released their spiritual power and injected it into the emerald doll.
Xiao Lin also released one-third of his spiritual power, and according to Patriarch Tianying's instructions, he injected it into the emerald doll. After being blessed by everyone's spiritual power, the emerald doll immediately made a buzzing sound.
It emitted a dazzling emerald green light, which directly condensed into a light shield, expanded, and wrapped everyone in it in the blink of an eye.
As the emerald doll emitted a thick green light, illuminating the surrounding area of hundreds of feet, everyone's scalp tingled to see that there was a circle of soul beasts around them, densely packed, probably dozens or even hundreds of them.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs, and the few female cultivators except Fairy Guhan were so scared that their faces turned pale.
At this time, Xiao Lin noticed that several black shadows suddenly rushed towards everyone, but when they hit the emerald green light shield, they made a faint "swoosh" sound.
Then they suddenly shot towards the distance and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the green light shield emitted by the emerald green doll could resist the attack of the soul beast, everyone was relieved.
At the same time, they did not hesitate to inject the power of divine thoughts into the emerald green doll.
The green light on the emerald green doll became more and more intense. After a while, the pair of tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
The moment the emerald green doll opened its eyes, two emerald green lights suddenly shot out, and several soul beasts in front were immediately illuminated by the light on their bodies, and then disappeared silently.
