The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2967 The Melancholy of Bells
Qingxuan Zhenren could have controlled the nine-headed king beast to carry out various actions without even getting close to it. However, after escaping the Yellow Spring Flower, his soul had nowhere to hide, so he could only approach the nine-headed king beast, hoping to use its protection to launch a counterattack against Chen Mo.

In the previous battle, he controlled the nine-headed king beast and was able to easily hunt down Chen Mo. Therefore, he believed that as long as he could protect his divine soul and control the king beast, he would be able to defeat Chen Mo.

However, the king-like beast that was so close became an insurmountable distance. His divine hand was about to touch one of the tentacles of the nine-headed king-like beast, but after being pierced by the golden light, all his energy and spirit vanished.

His entire soul seemed to be nailed to the air, and the pain from his very soul made it difficult for him to even speak.

Chen Mo did not answer Qingxuan Zhenren's question directly, but instead let out a long sigh.

He hadn't expected that this True Immortal Qingxuan would possess such a powerful talisman. Moreover, the energy released by the talisman just now told Chen Mo that it was a mid-level talisman, a bursting fireball.

It's important to know that all the talismans Chen Mo currently possesses are only at the beginner and intermediate levels; he doesn't have a single intermediate-level talisman yet. Even just mastering the beginner and intermediate-level talismans has taken him a very long time.

Fortunately, the golden spear pierced the talisman's energy circuit, destroying it just before it exploded.

In addition, Chen Mo was also wearing a golden cloak and golden arm guards. When he used the golden helmet spear, he had already wrapped himself in the golden cloak. In case he failed to stop the talisman from exploding, he could use the golden cloak to protect himself from the talisman's attack.

Since chasing after the Yellow Spring Flower, Chen Mo reacted with lightning speed. If he hadn't used the Golden Armor Spear in time, most of the space might have been swept away by the intermediate-level talisman.

Even the Yellow Springs Spider Lilies behind him will be burned to ashes in this attack.

Chen Mo was somewhat puzzled. Did this guy not want the Yellow Springs Flower anymore? He actually used a mid-level talisman, Exploding Fireball, at such close range.

Unable to remain airborne, Chen Mo landed on the ground, no more than three meters from the remnant soul.

There's no way to compare with a remnant soul; within areas where flight is restricted, a remnant soul can still float.

"No, no! What's going on?" At this moment, Master Qingxuan shouted again.

After being attacked, he couldn't even move; he could only float in the air, enduring pain that seemed to pierce his very soul. But now, he witnessed something even more devastating.

The area that had just been pierced, which was the chest area of ​​his remnant soul, was gradually widening, as if something was dissolving his remnant soul.

It's important to understand that the reduction of the remnant soul means the diminishing of the divine soul, and this diminishing can lead to the demise of the remnant soul. Furthermore, restoring the divine soul is not an easy task.

Although the pain was significant, it did not affect his sanity. As he watched the remnant soul's chest gradually melt away, his eyes slowly turned blood red.

Even in his soul form, Qingxuan Zhenren was still able to display various expressions.

The pain, coupled with the dissipation of his remnant soul, made it impossible for him to face the situation calmly. And what else could he do in this predicament? Beg for mercy?
Absolutely impossible! So Master Qingxuan roared and shouted at Chen Mo, "You don't want me to live, then I will perish with you!"

Perhaps out of anger, or perhaps because he was thinking about his own fate, Master Qingxuan spoke these words to Chen Mo clearly, each word quite distinct.

After saying that, he instantly took out a bead and swallowed it. Before Chen Mo could react, the restriction on his hand was activated, and the remnant soul exploded!

With a sudden roar, the explosive force sent the nine-headed king-like beast lying behind him flying, and it appeared to be quite injured.

The explosive force also caused Chen Mo to instantly wrap himself in a golden cloak.

The cloak fluttered in the wind, but there was no change whatsoever; the explosive force had absolutely no effect on it.

However, just as the remnant soul exploded and weakened, a ray of light flew out from the center of the explosion and instantly entered Chen Mo's brow.

Chen Mo sensed it instantly between his brows and couldn't help but mentally mutter, "Here we go again!"

How many times has this remnant soul entered my consciousness? Why does it always use this method? Isn't there any other way to fight back?

Furthermore, it's simply unbelievable that this golden cloak couldn't withstand a soul attack! However, considering that I haven't finished refining the golden cloak yet, it probably won't be able to withstand it either. Perhaps only after I finish refining it will I be able to withstand a soul attack.

"Hahaha! Little guy, let's see what you do now! Originally, I didn't want to use this move, after all, it would seriously injure my soul, but you forced me to do it. Since that's the case, then enjoy everything that's coming next!" After Qingxuan Zhenren rushed into Chen Mo's sea of ​​consciousness, he began to shout.

However, he suddenly paused, because he realized that the sea of ​​consciousness in front of him was really too big, and it was filled with white mist, making it impossible to see where his soul was!

"Damn it! How can a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator have such a vast spiritual sea? It's even much larger than when my body was intact and I was at the peak of the Golden Core stage. This is impossible, impossible!" Qingxuan Zhenren shouted speechlessly, and began to rampage through Chen Mo's spiritual sea.

"Damn little brat, come out here, come out here!" He rammed into Chen Mo's soul as he tried to get it out.

Now, his remnant soul has been detonated, and a compressed divine soul has broken in. If it cannot devour Chen Mo's soul, then his divine soul will dissipate.

Of course, even if Chen Mo's soul couldn't escape, True Person Qingxuan had a way to find it. However, using a method to find the soul would consume a portion of his soul power.

Originally, his soul wasn't entirely complete, and his legs hadn't fully recovered. So, in the beginning, he was quite obedient towards Chen Mo, just trying to get rid of him.

Unfortunately, this little guy in front of me didn't play by the rules. He insisted on figuring things out in detail, causing me to lose a Nascent Soul Pill, but he still wouldn't give up.

In the end, he even found his remaining soul in a state of dissolution. If he didn't resist, his soul would dissipate.

Therefore, in a situation where it's either you or me, we should fight back to the death.

Besides, according to his calculations, the young man before him was only at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, while he himself was a peak Golden Core cultivator. Although his soul had not yet recovered, he was still capable of dealing with the soul of a fifth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator without any problem.

However, to his surprise, after entering Chen Mo's spiritual sea, he found that it was not what he had expected. Damn it, his spiritual sea was even more vast than his own at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

After shouting and yelling, he found that the sea of ​​consciousness was filled with thick fog, but no soul appeared.

Damn it, then we'll have to resort to the last resort.

With gritted teeth, he directly used the restriction to stir up his own spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

If Chen Mo's soul does not appear, his entire spiritual sea will continue to churn, eventually damaging his consciousness.

Therefore, Chen Mo could only return to his soul. Under several restrictions, his entire spiritual sea of ​​consciousness immediately became quiet, gradually calming the turmoil within.

"Found you!" Following the fluctuations in the soul, Qingxuan Zhenren instantly appeared before Chen Mo's soul.

"Haha, little guy, today is the day you die, and also my lucky day." After saying that, without waiting for Chen Mo's reply, he pounced on his soul.

Now, Qingxuan Zhenren's remnant soul has changed drastically, resembling a sphere and almost completely losing its former appearance. However, this doesn't matter within his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

In fact, this was because a part of Qingxuan Zhenren's remnant soul had been dissolved, and because it had not been fully restored, he used external force to detonate the power of his soul in order to condense the remaining soul and rush into Chen Mo's sea of ​​consciousness.

If I can devour Chen Mo's soul, not only will I be able to reassemble my own soul, but I will also definitely be able to have a body again. It couldn't be better.

Of course, he demanded soul devouring, since the pain of having one's soul torn apart is unbearable for anyone. He had experienced it once before during a conflict with a friend, and never wanted to go through it again. But now, to survive, he had no choice but to go through it again.

However, just as Master Qingxuan rushed forward, a bell rang out, like a primordial sound, echoing in Master Qingxuan's ears.

Upon hearing this sound, his consciousness vanished. Instantly, Qingxuan Zhenren's soul, like a rubber ball, was frozen in place, and his soul ceased to react in any way.

Chen Mo chuckled and rang the protective bell in his hand again.

"bass!"

The first chirping of dawn brings frost, the setting moon lingers, filling the vast wilderness.

Although the amulet was small in Chen Mo's hand, not even as big as a fist, its chime was long and resonant, reaching deep into his soul.

Although this protective bell was not fully refined, having only been refined once, it is still a rare and invaluable artifact for soul defense. The very sound it just rang was enough to completely annihilate any alien soul that entered its spiritual sea.

Although the strength of the souls is different, the duration of control also varies; the weaker the soul, the longer it is controlled.

Since Chen Mo first refined it once, he hadn't used it. After all, this amulet was meant to protect the soul, so he hadn't taken it out to use. Moreover, no one had targeted his soul sea during this time.

Unexpectedly, this time Master Qingxuan recklessly rushed into the sea of ​​consciousness, which gave Chen Mo the opportunity to test the abilities of the Guardian Bell. To his surprise, using it truly delighted him.

This small amulet possesses extraordinary power; it's truly a remarkable treasure.

Chen Mo, the sixth brother, knocked as he approached Qingxuan Zhenren's soul.

Master Qingxuan had no way to react, as the repeated tolling of the bell left him with no way to resist.

Chen Mo tore off a large chunk of his soul and swallowed it whole. Instantly, his entire soul felt refreshed.

However, Qingxuan Zhenren's soul showed no reaction whatsoever. The bell tolled, the devouring continued, and in no time at all, Chen Mo had completely devoured his soul.
