I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 592: Stone Tower Monster, Possession Crisis (Subscription Request)
After thinking about this in his mind, Wei Tu walked towards the main palace room with a plaque of "Locking Demon Hall" hanging in front of him.

Different from the elegance and luxury of the outer palace, the layout of the main palace is a bit wild. It is built with larger stones and has an ancient style.

The place where he was was like the junction of a corridor and a hall. On the left were three "concave"-shaped houses, and at the end of the right was a dark stone tower that was a hundred feet high.

Outside the corridor was a wasteland that stretched as far as the eye could see, emitting a hint of demonic energy.

It was not difficult for Wei Tu to choose. He turned around and walked towards the three houses on the left, intending to explore what was inside first.

However, it wasn't long before a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

Although there were quite a few "artifacts" in the house, unlike the spiritual objects in the outer palace, they were all ordinary objects without any spiritual energy. They were all shattered by a slight shock from his magic power.

"There must be a treasure in the Demon Locking Hall. I must be searching in the wrong way."

Wei Tu frowned, thinking about something.

Now, even though there is still a dark tower that has not been explored, he does not think that these three houses are completely worthless.

"Friend Wei, this should be a reverse spirit gathering formation." At this time, Bai Zhi, who was hiding in Wei Tu's sleeve, reminded him in a low voice.

In terms of cultivation, she is far behind Wei Tu, but as a third-rank formation master, she is much stronger than a half-baked one like Wei Tu, and she saw the clues here at a glance.

"A reverse spirit gathering formation?"

Hearing this, Wei Tu raised his eyebrows, and while his eyes were looking up at the sun, the muscles in his left arm tensed up and he lifted up a piece of the floor.

As it was lifted up, he instantly discovered a flash of astonishing spiritual power underground.

"Is there something under here?"

Wei Tu was pleasantly surprised, but when he was about to take a closer look, he could not catch any trace of the spiritual power, and it seemed that there was no formation or spiritual vein underground.

"Friend Wei, can you lend me the formation flag?"

"I have a way to deal with this."

Seeing this, Bai Zhi floated out from Wei Tu's sleeve, with a smile on her face, and bowed to Wei Tu.

Wei Tu was still very convinced of Bai Zhi's attainments in formation. Even though he was only a third-level formation master and had never arranged a fourth-level spiritual formation, that was only a shackle on his cultivation. It did not mean that he could not be compared with a fourth-level formation master.

After obtaining more than ten sets of formation flags, Bai Zhi did not set up the formation rashly, but walked around the house and corridors for more than ten times. After about half a day, she finally took action. With a wave of her jade sleeves, nearly a hundred formation flags flew out from her palms and were scattered around.

Not long after, as a few faint lights flashed by, there was finally movement under the house.

Wei Tu's eyes flashed with golden light, and he captured it clearly. He once again sensed the amazing spiritual energy from before.

Below the flag is a light blue formation in the shape of a five-pointed star. In the center of the formation is a glittering bracelet made up of five gemstones.

These five gems are of different colors, representing the colors of the five elements. At the moment, only the aqua blue gem is emitting dazzling light.

“A treasure that can transform spirits? The level of this bracelet should be at least level five!” Wei Tu was jealous.

However, at this moment, he did not rashly break the underground formation to take away the treasure. After all, he knew something about the origin of the Demon Locking Hall.

The Demon Locking Hall was a prison cell built by the master of the Royal Palace to imprison the ancient demon.

If you disturb the formation rashly and take away this treasure, you will regret it if something unexpected happens.

Wei Tu, who had just removed the evil spirit from Bai Zhi, was extremely wary of such things.

"There's no rush to get the treasure. I'm the only one in the Demon Locking Hall now." Wei Tu shook his head and asked Bai Zhi to remove the formation first and follow him to the dark stone tower in front to take a look.

He guessed that this dark stone tower was most likely the prison where the owner of the Royal Palace imprisoned the ancient demon.

Thinking of this, Wei Tu pondered for a moment, slapped his storage bag, and released a human puppet in the Nascent Soul stage from it, letting it lead the way.

This Nascent Soul human puppet was exactly what he had obtained during his previous transaction with Gong Shulan in Yuanze Immortal City. It was the corpse of the [Emperor Sword Master] of Jingguo Cangqiong City.

In past battles, this human puppet was not as useful as the "Yin Yang Demon Corpse", but in exploring secret realms, it was much more flexible than these demonic corpses.

Under Wei Tu's control, with a few "clicks", the body of [Emperor Sword Master] flew low over the sky like a living person and advanced towards the dark stone tower in the distance.

As soon as he entered the dark stone tower, Wei Tu's consciousness hidden in the body of [Emperor Sword Master] was deeply suppressed by the demonic energy inside.

Demonic energy is a completely different energy from spiritual energy. Demonic cultivators who can absorb demonic energy and practice cultivation are very rare, whether in the Great Cang Immortal Cultivation World or the Guixu Sea Immortal Cultivation World.

Strictly speaking, those demon cultivators who have failed to master the demonic energy are only considered to be cultivators who practice "sinister" and "quick progress" techniques, and are not true demon cultivators.

Compared to spiritual energy, demonic energy is more violent and restless. The magic power condensed from it is several times more powerful than the magic power condensed from spiritual energy.

This is also one of the reasons why the cultivators in ancient books became so powerful after being "demonized".

After Wei Tu reviewed the knowledge about "demon energy" in his mind, he continued to control the [Emperor Sword Master] human puppet and carefully sensed the detailed scene inside the dark stone tower. Similar to the houses here, there were not many utensils in the house inside the dark stone tower. Even if there were, they were mostly ordinary utensils. Only a small number of utensils became rare "demon weapons" after being infected by the demon energy.

However, the purpose of Weitu's [Emperor Sword Master] is not only to find high-level spiritual objects, but more to see whether there are any surviving ancient demons in this dark stone tower.

First floor, second floor...

Wei Tu controlled the human puppet [Emperor Sword Master] and explored very carefully, not missing any place.

In the blink of an eye, they reached the highest floor, which was the fourth floor.

Unlike the layout of the three floors below, the fourth floor of the dark stone tower has no separated space and can be seen at a glance.

As soon as he stepped in, Wei Tu saw a giant beast shaped like a dragon, tied up tightly with huge chains in the center of the fourth floor. Beside it, there were seven silver lamps.

However, it seemed that because too much time had passed in the outside world, the oil in these silver lamps had burned out and they were completely extinguished.

“Dead?” Wei Tu raised his eyebrows, and with a thought, he ordered the [Emperor Sword Master] to swing out a sword energy and chop at the dragon's head.

With a "clang" sound, the giant dragon's head was unexpectedly cut off by the sword energy of [Emperor Sword Master], fell from the dragon's body and hit the ground.

As the dragon's head fell, the deathly energy hidden in the dragon's body also came out, filling the entire fourth floor of the stone tower.

"It's been too long, and the spirit in the demon's body has dissipated? Is that why it's so vulnerable?"

Wei Tu frowned.

However, he did not take it lightly. Instead, he had an idea and asked [Emperor Sword Master] to secretly take out the "Ghost Eye Demon Spider" and look towards the fourth level of space again.

The next moment, he used the "spider pupil" of the Ghost-Eyed Demon Spider to see the remnant soul of a person with a dragon head in the corner, looking coldly at the [Emperor Sword Master] without any expression.

Seeing this scene, Wei Tu's heart skipped a beat, but because he was controlling the human puppet at the moment, he didn't worry about the residual soul of the human-faced dragon-headed man discovering any abnormality of his.

"The realm of this remnant soul is around the Spirit Transformation Realm. Is it waiting for me to pass by and then take over my body or possess me?" Wei Tu thought in his heart. He saw a similar aura to the demonic soul that possessed Bai Zhi before on the remnant soul with a human face and a dragon head.

Therefore, it was not difficult for him to guess the specific purpose of this remnant soul.

"But if you take over my body..."

Wei Tu’s consciousness was immersed in his mind. He took a look at the “Golden Purple Fate” that was floating in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Hundreds of years ago, when Master Shentu took over his body, his golden and purple destiny unexpectedly showed its power, and with just a ray of golden light, he easily killed the ghost baby of Master Shentu.

Now, with the evidence of the "purple-green tree branches", he can see that the level of the golden-purple destiny must be above the realm of refining emptiness.

So, can the "Golden Purple Fate" with a level above the Refining Void Realm be able to kill the remaining soul of the human-faced dragon head whose aura is around the Transformation Spirit Realm... Wei Tu is looking forward to it.

This is enough to prove that his "physique" has a very high immunity when facing the possession of the body by a strong person.

Although this would not be of much use in normal times, it might play an unexpected role in times of danger.

However, possessing another's body is a matter of life and death after all, so he would not be so reckless as to hastily engage in a battle for possession of the body of the remnant soul of the human-faced dragon head.

"The specific experiment must be based on capturing the remaining soul of the human-faced dragon head."

Wei Tu's eyes turned cold as he thought secretly.

He raised his hand and ordered [Emperor Sword Master] to return.

After [Emperor Sword Master] returned, he took out the Soul Refining Banner from the storage bag, asked him to hold it, and then entered the dark stone tower.

The Soul Refining Banner is not only useful to cultivators, this magical weapon also has a great inhibitory effect on the souls of cultivators.

Now, even though the remnant soul of this human-faced dragon-head is still near the Spirit Transformation Realm, a remnant soul is still a remnant soul after all. Wei Tu doesn't believe that his Soul Refining Banner can't deal with this demon.

"He found me?"

Seeing the human puppet [Emperor Sword Master] enter again, with no living person following behind him, the remaining soul with a human face and a dragon head hiding in the corner had a slightly ugly expression on his face.

He didn't expect that the cultivator who broke the ban and entered this time was so cautious by nature. Not only did he not destroy the "Demon Refining Array" of the Demon Locking Hall, but he also knew how to use human puppets to explore the way.

The most important thing is that he actually has the means to discover his "remnant soul".

Without waiting for the remaining soul of the human-faced dragon head to curse Wei Tu, the [Emperor Sword Master] who climbed up to the fourth floor of the stone tower again immediately mobilized his magic power and waved the soul-refining flag in his hand.

next moment.

The souls of the two main soul refining banners, "Five Elements Infant" and "Two Yin-Yang Infant", rushed out and fought in the direction where the remaining soul of the human-faced dragon head was.
