Chapter 566 Soul Refining
"kill!"
Following the loud shout of a green-faced ghost jailer, more than 50,000 hell jailers immediately roared and rushed towards the sea of ghosts in front of them.
I saw that the auras of these evil ghost jailers from different hells were connected with each other, and the phantom of the eighteen levels of hell appeared in the void, and the terrifying and oppressive aura of hell slowly descended.
These evil ghosts wandering in the sea of ghosts were suddenly trembling with fear, turned around and fled madly.
But no matter how hard these evil ghosts try to run, they cannot escape the capture of the hell's jailers.
These green-faced ghost jailers stretched out their hands, and no matter how fast the wronged souls and evil spirits ran or how tricky the angle was, they would be mysteriously grabbed by the shoulders and thrown into the eighteen levels of hell behind them.
For the jailer of hell, facing this evil ghost is like a mouse against a cat.
The absolute suppression of nature made the fifty thousand jailers feel like they were in an empty land in the sea of ghosts.
A large number of evil ghosts and wronged souls were thrown into the eighteen levels of hell, where they screamed and shrieked as they were burned by the flames of hell.
In a short while, the entire sea of ghosts became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As the eighteen levels of hell continued to fill up, the jailers' strength began to grow, and the speed of arresting evil spirits became faster and faster.
Under Qi Xiu's gaze, the last evil ghost was thrown into the tongue-pulling hell.
The entire sea of ghosts was completely cleared out.
Apart from the thin and ethereal mist, there was no trace of a ghost.
"Well done."
He didn't expect the hell jailers to be so efficient. These green-faced evil spirits born in hell have terrifying power to suppress the soul. Qi Xiu nodded with satisfaction.
It is already very good to be able to deal with this group of evil spirits so quickly without alerting the divine weapon of Hell.
"My Lord, you are too kind."
Inheriting the fanatical belief of Qi Xiu from the obsession with Liu Xing, the green-faced ghost jailers were immediately overjoyed when they heard the praise from their master.
"Now that the evil spirits have been taken to the Eighteen Layers of Hell, you can handle what happens next."
The evil spirits in the sea of ghosts were all disciples of the Hell in the past. As one of the ten major demon sects in the Middle Ages, each of these demons has a lot of blood on their hands and has committed countless evil deeds.
Now that I'm in hell, I'll settle all the old and new accounts together.
Let them also have a taste of what it feels like to be tortured and ravaged.
"Don't worry, my Lord. We know what to do."
Seeing the meaning behind Qi Xiu's words, the green-faced ghost jailer grinned. If it were something else, they might not be able to do it so well.
But when it comes to torturing people, they are all great masters!
Amidst a burst of suppressive laughter that made one's scalp tingle, more than 50,000 hell guards filed back to their respective hells.
Next, it’s time for their specialty.
The shadows of the Eighteen Levels of Hell slowly disappeared, and the jailers, evil spirits and wronged souls also dispersed.
I hope there won't be any more obstacles...
Holding the Thunder Seal in his hand, Qi Xiu stepped into the ethereal and illusory fog.
The closer one gets to Fengdu, the stronger the indescribable suppression and inexplicable attraction against the soul in the void becomes.
It’s as if in that ancient and gloomy city, a pair of invisible hands grasp your soul and drag it towards the depths of Fengdu.
“With my cultivation in the Immortal Soul Realm, and the [Suppression Talisman] to suppress my mind, I can barely resist the pull of this strange force.
Even if an ordinary cultivator has reached the state of immortality, it would be difficult for him to approach the thousands of miles of Fengdu without special methods or magical weapons.
No wonder the acting headmaster once said that the quality of this [Fengdu] is even better than the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder City] of my Divine Thunder Sect.
[Fengdu], which is still dormant and has not fully awakened, has such terrifying power.
If it is the fully revived [Fengdu], I am afraid that even the higher level of the soul realm cannot get close to it within a radius of ten thousand miles."
Gradually realizing the antiquity and terrifying nature of this divine weapon from Hell, Qi Xiu clenched the Thunder Seal in his hand.
If we cannot suppress this divine weapon again this time.
Once it fully revives, it will be a catastrophic disaster for our Shenxiao Sect.
As Qi Xiu endured the increasingly heavy pressure coming from the void, golden light flowed in his eyes.
In the ancestral orifice between the eyebrows.
His soul was sitting cross-legged in the Hunyuan Palace. The Hunyuan Palace, which was originally more than a hundred feet high in the ancestral acupoint, had been suppressed to less than six feet by this pressure.
The spirit sitting cross-legged in the Hunyuan Palace was also not at ease. The Taoist robe transformed from the Hunyuan Heart Pill was whistling and moving without wind.
Rays of colorful green light flowed on it, resisting the pressure from the Hell's weapon.
Arrived within a thousand miles of [Fengdu].
Qi Xiu's expression revealed a trace of solemnity, with golden light flashing in his eyes. One after another talismans were continuously added to his soul to calm his mind.
At this moment, every step Qi Xiu took was very slow.
Although the steps seem light, each one leaves a deep footprint on the ground.
The pressure on the soul has already spread to the physical body.
Looking at Fengdu thousands of miles away with sparkling eyes, Qi Xiu took a deep breath, and between his palms he held a golden Buddhist bead given by the old monk.
“It’s a crisis, but also a test.
This divine artifact of Hell was in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness at the moment, and it released this oppression instinctively without a trace of malice.
Such a natural place for refining souls is rare.
With the help of this natural spiritual pressure, I may be able to further improve my spiritual realm."
The Hell Divine Artifact can oppress the soul in all directions without leaving any blind spots.
But now this divine weapon of Hell has not yet fully revived, and this kind of suppression is also instinctive.
Using this kind of environment to temper one's soul is like walking on a tightrope ten thousand meters in the air.
If you succeed, your spiritual realm will rise greatly, and you may even be able to break through to the next level.
If it fails, the soul will be severely damaged, or even completely suppressed by [Fengdu], and the soul will be sucked away through the air.
However, Qi Xiu has never liked gambling, and he will not do anything without certainty.
The Buddhist bead in his hand at this moment is called [Seven Treasures Buddha Sandalwood], although it is only one hundred and eighth of the original size.
However, this Buddhist bead has been refined and nurtured by the old monk for tens of thousands of years, and its inner power is beyond description.
Once he can no longer withstand the suppression of the Hell's artifact, Qi Xiu will offer up this Buddhist bead to resist the oppression of his soul, so as to prevent his soul from being sucked away by [Fengdu].
Holding the trump card in his hand, Qi Xiu took a step forward and stepped into the area of Fengdu, which was within a thousand miles.
boom--
As soon as he walked into this area, he was suddenly pressed down by an oppressive force that was a hundred times heavier than before. Even though Qi Xiu was mentally prepared, his expression was slightly moved.
If I hadn't placed tens of thousands of [Talismans] around my soul before, this blow would have been enough to severely damage my soul. In more serious cases, it might even have caused my soul to collapse directly and could not be repaired.
With a slight movement of his mind, Qi Xiu tried to transform several external incarnations to bless him with the [Talisman] to relieve the pressure on his soul.
However, as soon as the external incarnation with soul and thoughts as the core appeared, it was immediately crushed by the pressure of the artifact of Hell and turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated into nothingness.
"We can't take shortcuts. It seems we can only fight hard."
Pursing his lips slightly, Qi Xiu took another step forward.
With every step he took, his soul suffered an invisible and heavy blow. In serious cases, even most of his soul was shattered.
However, with the blessing of Hunyuan Heart Pill, Hunyuan Qi can directly heal the soul.
The Qi of Hunyuan will not dissipate, and the heart elixir robe will not be destroyed.
If the heart elixir and the robe are not destroyed, the soul and golden body will be immortal.
In the past, Qi Xiu could travel a thousand miles in just a thought, but today, traveling a thousand miles seemed very long and slow.
Every time I lift my legs, it seems like all my strength is consumed.
As the soul was born, died and recovered again and again, wisps of extraordinary light began to appear in the soul, just like an unforged iron piece that, after constant tempering, began to emit a captivating cold light.
“Huh, fortunately I didn’t follow the method of [Yama Luo Jin Zhang] to condense the Great Freedom Heart Pill.
If there were no Hunyuan Heart Pill, it would be impossible to directly draw on the Hunyuan Qi to repair the soul.
I have no chance of getting close to this artifact today and re-applying the seal."
Seeing that they were less than three hundred miles away from [Fengdu], beads of sweat began to appear on Qi Xiu's forehead.
After he cultivated the Hunyuan Wanfa Immortal Body, the Hunyuan Qi in his body became endless.
However, the Hunyuan Heart Pill draws upon the Hunyuan Qi to repair his soul, which will also consume his energy.
After a long time, you will naturally feel tired.
Unless he enters the state of [Uniting the Body with the Tao] again, he will be able to discard all negative emotions and states, perfectly control the Hunyuan Heart Pill, and repair his soul.
"Now, it's not time yet."
After feeling his own condition, Qi Xiu slowly calmed himself down and continued to move forward.
It is still more than three hundred miles away from [Fengdu], and he can still hold on for a while.
If you want to sacrifice the Thunder Seal and repair the seal, you must get within a hundred miles of [Fengdu].
That's the most difficult part.
As he walked forward, Qi Xiu's steps became shorter and shorter, and his walking speed became slower and slower.
At this moment, he was almost a hundred miles away from Fengdu.
Every time the terrifying soul pressure as deep as the ocean came, it would tear his soul into pieces.
Fortunately, the power of Hunyuan Heart Pill allows his soul to recover no matter how damaged it is.
However, the extreme pain of having his soul torn and shattered made Qi Xiu's face gradually turn pale.
"I've suffered a lot, but I have gained more insights in my heart..." Qi Xiu said softly, with a hint of charm flashing in his slightly tired eyes.
Every time the soul is damaged and then recovered, it will promote the proficiency of the [Hunyuan Gold Seal]. Along the way, the proficiency of the [Hunyuan Gold Seal] has reached the limit and is about to break through to the next level.
"finally reached."
Standing in front of a rock, Qi Xiu looked serious.
This place is a hundred miles away from [Fengdu]. If he takes another step forward, he will step into the hundred-mile range of this divine artifact of Hell.
Then he would be able to activate the Thunder Seal, repair the seal, and allow this divine weapon of Hell to fall back into slumber.
But at the same time, he will also suffer from a higher level of spiritual oppression.
"I have to admit that this time, there was indeed an element of gambling on my part..." Shaking his head and chuckling, the void and chaos surged behind Qi Xiu. Taoist Hunyuan appeared silently, and with a wave of his hand, the Jade Ruyi turned into a stream of light and merged into his body.
next second!
Be in harmony with the Tao!
Once again stepping into this ruthless, lawless state of the supreme saint, Qi Xiu's face was completely free of fatigue, and he looked calm and indifferent without any emotion change. He saw colorful mist rising up all around him. His perfect control in the state of harmony with the Tao made his already overwhelmed soul feel a lot more relaxed.
"The Seven Treasures are wonderful, and the worldly ties are flawless."
The golden Buddhist bead with the swastika mark in his hand was raised up, and the melodious sound of the conch shell echoed, with infinite Buddha light blooming from it.
next moment.
A towering tree with Buddha's light shining upon it rose from the Buddha beads into the sky. In an instant, it grew so lush and leafy that it almost covered the sky and earth.
The golden leaves, like a sky curtain, rustled in the wind, spreading the breath of infinite compassion and perfection of Buddhism. On this towering tree, seven treasures, including gold, silver, and colored glaze, could be seen everywhere.
The tree canopy-like crown shed infinite light, protecting Qi Xiu firmly beneath it.
"I see. It's a magical weapon made by imitating the essence of a divine weapon. No wonder a small part of it can still remain after tens of thousands of years."
Noticing the true meaning of Buddhism contained in this golden Buddhist bead, Qi Xiu, who was in a state of unity with the Tao, recognized at a glance that this seven-treasure tree must be a divine artifact of the Tao.
Moreover, it is a divine artifact of the innate great way!
With the protection of this magical weapon containing the shape of the innate great Dao, Qi Xiu no longer hesitated and stepped directly into the area within a hundred miles of [Fengdu].
Swah——
The scene in front of me suddenly became pitch black, and all the light seemed to be absorbed by the ancient and gloomy city of Fengdu.
Just as Qi Xiu was using the brilliant Buddha light of the [Seven Treasures Buddha Sandalwood] to look for the direction of [Fengdu].
A terrifying spiritual pressure that shook the heavens and the earth suddenly came crashing down like a thousand-foot-high tide.
In the blink of an eye, huge hands as black as ink pressed heavily on the Buddha's light hanging from the Seven Treasures Buddha Sandalwood. Cold and wooden faces appeared behind them. Just by looking at each other, Qi Xiu felt a tearing pain in his soul.
It can be seen that if one is attacked head-on by these strange figures, the soul will suffer terrible damage.
There is no time to waste.
In just one breath, Qi Xiu noticed a tiny crack appearing on the seven-treasure Buddha sandalwood above his head.
Obviously, this Buddhist treasure cannot withstand the pressure of [Fengdu] for long.
Without any further hesitation, Qi Xiu immediately raised the Thunder Seal and injected one hundred and eighty-eight thunder magic seals into it. The large seal that seemed to be carved from purple gold and colored glaze suddenly turned into a ray of lightning and flew straight towards the broken talisman in the sky above Fengdu.
Become!
Qi Xiu felt relieved after successfully using the Thunder Seal to repair the seal. No matter what, as long as the seal was repaired and this divine artifact of Hell returned to silence, his mission would be accomplished.
The next second!
The light transformed from the Thunder Seal was successfully integrated into the talisman, and the supreme divine power suddenly vibrated out. The tremendous pressure seemed to have stimulated the ancient city of [Fengdu].
I saw two cloth banners, one red and one white, fluttering above the city gate, as if an ancient being had opened its eyes and revived.
At the same time, a loud bang suddenly sounded above Qi Xiu's head.
[Seven Treasures Buddha Sandalwood] had cracked into several terrifying cracks at some point, and the Buddha's light that was hanging down to protect it flickered.
It seemed as if it would completely disappear in the next second.
