To win, they had to pay a price. That price might lead to their downfall.
“If it comes to it, I’ll crush the token my master gave me. With his power, descending to this realm would be effortless, and he could easily kill the ancient demon and obtain the inheritance hall!” Zhen Xian steeled his resolve.
But unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t crush the token.
Because it concerned his standing within the sect.
Moreover, this kind of assistance token, he only had one.
Once used, it would be gone. Who knew when he would get another?
If he needed his master’s help even in the mortal world, he wouldn’t be able to hold his head high among his peers.
“Senior brother, it seems there’s some movement in the city!” Fu Qing frowned as he looked toward the city.
Zhen Xian also turned his gaze.
With a thought, he sensed that the soul power within the city was rapidly increasing.
His eyes immediately froze, and he exclaimed in surprise, “What’s going on? Why is the soul power of those cultivators who entered Mangshan County City increasing so rapidly!”
With his Thought power, he pierced through the barrier that isolated Mangshan County and sensed that the soul power of the cultivators within the city was growing at a staggering rate. Several of the cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage had already reached the God Aspect level in terms of soul power.
This development shocked him even more than the ancient demon he had seen earlier!
Because the increase in soul power was permanent.
“I never imagined that such a secret method existed in the mortal world. Junior sister, let’s hurry inside!” Zhen Xian was ecstatic.
He had realized that after those cultivators killed the ghost cultivators, they automatically absorbed the ghost cultivators’ soul power, which was the reason for their rapid increase in soul power.
And the cause of all this was the barrier around Mangshan County.
Though it was called a barrier, it was more like a grand formation.
The ghost cultivators devoured each other, creating stronger ghost cultivators, all because of this formation.
After Zhen Xian finished speaking, Fu Qing’s expression also changed.
Soul cultivation methods were the most mysterious of all cultivation methods. Even in the upper realms, they were top-tier secret techniques, and neither of them had ever practiced a complete soul cultivation method.
Therefore, their soul power was only one level higher than their current realm.
It wasn’t considered top-tier, but practicing a soul cultivation method could amplify their soul power, allowing them to fully exert the power of their realm.
In their understanding, this was how soul power was used.
However, when one reached the Immortal Emergence stage, soul power would be used differently.
Because Immortal Emergence cultivators could control certain aspects of the Heavenly Dao, which required even higher levels of soul power.
At the level of an Emperor, mastering the Dao and controlling a vast world required even more soul power. Thus, they would all cultivate soul secret techniques to amplify their Thought power, enabling them to control the Dao.
But this amplification wasn’t intrinsic.
It was similar to Jian Wushuang’s Ancient Transformation technique, where the amplification required greater consumption of power, but the actual divine power hadn’t increased.
Only by amplifying one’s own divine power was it truly significant.
Soul power was the same. Only an increase in essence was truly useful.
Once their soul power surpassed their realm by two levels, the two of them could undoubtedly enter the core of their sect and become the Dao successors of their generation, allowing them to practice even more powerful secret techniques.
The only downside was that this was the mortal world.
Therefore, they were even more eager to obtain this formation that raised ghost cultivators. If they acquired it, they wouldn’t need to ask their master to descend; even inviting the strongest expert in their sect would be met with no resistance, and they would even be rewarded.
But there was one thing they needed to ascertain in advance: whether this grand formation had higher-level applications.
If it didn’t, its value would decrease significantly. However, it could still be used to cultivate lower-level disciples, which would be a significant contribution.
In any case, it would rival the value of his token.
That was Zhen Xian’s plan.
Meanwhile, inside the ancient castle, Wei Jiuxian listened in confusion, merely watching the two leave without following them.
He had more important matters to attend to in this place.
…
Inside Mangshan County City.
Jian Wushuang, who hadn’t appeared for a long time, sat cross-legged on the city wall, watching the cultivators and ghost cultivators fighting, but showed no interest.
Because his soul realm was too high.
Within the Nine Prison Pagoda, his soul realm had already reached the Immortal Emergence level.
In the mortal world, it had also reached the peak of the God Aspect realm.
There was no need for him to kill these ghost cultivators to enhance his soul realm.
However, Xiang Yang and Jiang Shang needed it, as did Yang Xiao and Qianzu Saintess. Under his guidance, they had all gone down early to kill ghost cultivators.
In fact, he had discovered this benefit from the start, but he didn’t feel the need to mention it because it had nothing to do with what he wanted.
But now that he couldn’t find the altar, he sent them down to kill ghost cultivators, thinking that if all the ghost cultivators were eliminated, perhaps they would find the answer.
Unfortunately, he could only rely on this clumsy method to explore for now.
Swoosh!!
Two powerful auras soared into the sky, instantly descending upon the county city of Mangshan.
The intensity of these auras far exceeded that of Immortal Jiu Chen earlier.
They were undoubtedly strong experts in the Zhen Xian realm.
“Two more Zhen Xian have appeared, making it four in total. The depths of the Tang Dynasty’s hidden powers are truly astounding!” Jian Wushuang rubbed his temples in surprise.
Earlier, two monks had arrived, both in the early stages of Zhen Xian, with average strength.
But this time, the two Zhen Xian who had arrived were at least in the later stages.
They immediately plunged into the vast group of ghost cultivators and began to fight fiercely.
Their speed in slaying was far faster than those from the three major forces.
Among the three forces, the strongest were only in the early and mid stages of Zhen Xian.
As for the Southern Heaven Realm, they had the grandest display yet the weakest strength, without a single Zhen Xian.
They were undoubtedly the most awkward party.
The three major forces each divided into three areas.
The two Arhats went to another area.
The later arriving Zhen Xian and Fu Qing went to the central area.
But even so, the pace of the siege was still insufficient. To completely annihilate all the ghost cultivators would take at least another hour.
“This won’t do. The demon in the sky won’t give them that much time!” Jian Wushuang sighed inwardly.
He had sensed the demon breaking the seal in the sky earlier.
Although there was a barrier in this place, it couldn’t completely block his detection.
If even Zhen Xian and Fu Qing could feel what was happening within the city from the outside, there was no way Jian Wushuang wouldn’t notice.
He was surprised when he sensed the demon’s emergence.
How could a mortal world bear the existence of a demon?
But upon realizing that the demon’s strength was also suppressed, he felt relieved.
Even he was being suppressed by this world, let alone that demon.
“It seems I’ll have to step in myself!”
Though he didn’t care much for that bit of soul power, he had no choice but to take action now.
As long as he found the altar and obtained that power, he could rapidly absorb it and reach the peak of the Zhen Xian realm.
By then, that demon would no longer be his match.
Despite being in a mortal body, every time his strength grew, he could access tens of thousands more secret techniques and divine abilities, all of which were top-tier.
