I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

"ban!"

Just when Cao Dingxiong was still amazed at the greatly increased strength of the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl, Wei Tu appeared in an instant and stuck a black talisman on his forehead in the blink of an eye.

Immediately, his soul was imprisoned by this small talisman, and his magical power was rapidly lost and sealed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What kind of talisman is this?"

Cao Dingxiong was horrified.

Although there are many fifth-level talisman masters in the human world, he has never heard of a talisman with such a strong sealing effect that can be called an evil magic, let alone seeing it in person.

There is no other reason. The training of Talisman Masters requires a lot of resources. It is okay for the first-level Talisman Masters, the second-level Talisman Masters, and the third-level Talisman Masters, but the number of fourth-level Talisman Masters and fifth-level Talisman Masters is extremely rare.

Especially for the fifth-level talisman masters, the power of a world might be able to cultivate a few, but... it would be extremely difficult to rely on the power of only one faction.

The fifth-level talisman paper and fifth-level spiritual ink used by fifth-level talisman masters to practice are not something that ordinary divine sects can possess.

Like Wei Tu, if he did not have the fate of "late bloomer", he could directly start to increase his knowledge of talismans without worrying about failure... Otherwise, the "fifth-level talisman paper" obtained by killing Ding Lezheng and the ghost woman would be far from enough for him to become a fifth-level talisman master.

However, although he knew this in his heart, Wei Tu did not feel the need to explain it to Cao Dingxiong and the other gods.

He doesn't want to be in the spotlight yet.

The title of a fifth-rank talisman master is still a little too scary.

Not to mention, the process of him becoming a fifth-rank talisman master was rather demonic in nature and was not easy to discuss with others.

……

Wait for the soul-binding talisman to fall.

This battle of hunting down Cao Dingxiong, in which the majority defeated the minority, has come to an end.

However, compared to before the war, after the war, King Lou Shi, Venerable San Yan, and Qi Yaoxian were obviously more wary when they looked at Wei Tu and Golden Silkworm Snow Girl.

——Not only are the two of them quite powerful among the gods of the same level, but they also have a very high degree of tacit understanding when fighting with each other. When they join forces, they are suspected to have the ability to kill a god of the same level.

Qi Yaoxian is even worse!
But she knew that Tianmei Xue Nu was now under the control of Wei Tu and Jincan Xue Nu.

Besides, she could clearly see that the magical powers Wei Tu used in this battle were completely different from those he used to intercept Tianmei Xue Nu five years ago.

There is an obvious sign of concealing one's weaknesses and holding back!
This means that Wei Tu’s strength may be a level higher than what she has seen.

"What kind of monster is he?"

Qi Yaoxian was a little unsure about the defense map.

A hundred years ago, this boy was a thief who stole her "Nine-Aperture Golden Ganoderma". Later, he displayed his background, fighting strength, and meticulous thinking, which gradually broke through her cognition.

This made her feel that the Wei Tu she had seen a hundred years ago was not fake, but that he had continuously broken through realms and improved his strength in just these hundred years.

After all, disguise has never been so real that it made her fail again and again.

But after thinking for a moment, Qi Yaoxian shook her head and cleared this ridiculous idea from her mind.

A hundred years? How is that possible!

Even the legendary "one-foot-long celestial infant" could not have achieved a double breakthrough in realm and magical powers and reached the peak level of the early stage of transformation in just a hundred years.

"Anyway, we are friends, not enemies. Wen Tianqi's strength will not threaten us..."

Qi Yaoxian had this thought in her mind and calmed down.

Qi Yaoxian was not the only one who held this idea. Lou Shiwang and Sanyan Guzun also thought so. No matter how stupid they were, or how much they thought Wei Tu was worthy of fear, they would not destroy their own Great Wall and target Wei Tu, their ally.

Being wary of Wei Tu is only for self-awareness, not for making enemies.

……

The display of strength brings about a change in status.

Before the battle, Qi Yaoxian and others were still thinking about how to distribute the spoils after the victory, especially the right to deal with Cao Dingxiong, the "only" remaining deity in the Ghost Shadow Palace.

But after the war, they all agreed that Cao Dingxiong should be handed over to Wei Tu and Jincan Xuenu for handling first, and did not go beyond the line.

However, Wei Tu is not arrogant enough to keep all the secrets to himself.

He glanced at the gods present and without any hesitation told them how to deal with Cao Dingxiong - first search his soul to determine the reason for the abnormal rise of the Ghost Shadow Palace.

The words fell.

The cultivators nodded slightly and said thank you.

The reason they were able to work together to attack the Ghost Shadow Palace this time was, firstly, that the Ghost Shadow Palace had angered the people and infringed upon their interests, and secondly, the abnormal rise of the Ghost Shadow Palace had aroused their greed.

However, searching the soul of a being of the same level is not an easy task.

The level of soul-searching skills will greatly affect the results of the soul-search.

After Wei Tu took the lead in searching Cao Dingxiong's soul, Golden Silkworm Snow Girl, Qi Yaoxian and others who came up one after another frowned slightly, looking thoughtful. It was obvious that the incomplete content obtained from the soul search did not make them very satisfied.

Several great gods subconsciously looked at Wei Tu, and seeing that Wei Tu had the same attitude as them, with a look of disappointment on his face, they immediately let go of the imbalance in their mentality.

"You are a hypocritical person. You pretend to be humble and let these Divine Transformation cultivators search Cao Dingxiong's soul from behind you. Then, after you finished searching his soul, you let me use the spell to corrupt part of Cao Dingxiong's soul, causing him to lose the memories deep in his mind."

As Wei Tu showed disappointment on his face, the slightly teasing voice of the ghost soul sounded in Wei Tu's mind.

"However, in this case, his sea of ​​consciousness will be shattered and his soul will be incomplete. It will be difficult for you to refine him into a physical corpse."

"Is it worth losing a helper just to keep this secret?"

The ghost soul asked curiously.

Hearing this, Wei Tu's eyes flashed slightly. He glanced at Cao Dingxiong, whose face looked stiff and a little bit demented, nodded, and said, "It's worth it."

Originally, he wanted to share the results of searching Cao Dingxiong's soul with Qi Yaoxian and others.

But unfortunately, after searching the soul of this person, the spiritual memories he obtained were too important, so he had to be selfish.

Just as the ghost soul had expected.

The Ghost Shadow Palace was indeed supported and risen by an outside force called the "Fog Ghost Holy Land".

Up to this point, it was nothing, and it was not worth it for him to use any means to erase the relevant records about the outside forces in Cao Dingxiong's mind.

What really made him make this decision was...

When Cao Dingxiong went to the "Holy Land of Fog Ghosts", he accidentally caught a glimpse of a golden-armored figure. He was very familiar with this golden-armored figure, who was none other than the priest Sang who destroyed the Red Dragon's Dharma Body in the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace more than a thousand years ago.

More than four hundred years ago, when he was heading to the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace, he had come face to face with the quasi-god-transforming powerful priest Sang. This man was competing with Ding Le for supremacy, and he had overwhelmed their group of Nascent Soul cultivators, making them breathless and they could only avoid his edge.

Fortunately, Cao Dingxiong did not take this memory seriously. He just thought that Priest Sang was a powerful outsider who visited the "Fog Ghost Holy Land". After secretly memorizing this face, he forgot about it and never mentioned it to anyone else.

Priest Sang has never shown up in the Great Yan cultivation world, so even if Qi Yaoxian and others knew about it, it would not be a big deal.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

——In the Great Yan cultivation world, Lord Ji Le Shen Hou has personally visited the Great Cang cultivation world several times and is familiar with the relevant information about the Zun Wang Palace.

Therefore, if Qi Yaoxian and others were accidentally captured by Ji Le Shen Hou in the battle against the Ghost Shadow Palace, and Ji Le Shen Hou mistakenly obtained this memory... then the development of things would not be something he could control in the future.

The secret realm of the Royal Palace that is coveted by Priest Sang, the "powerful outsider", is likely to be coveted by the Mist Ghost Holy Land as well, and they will take action to achieve it.

“It’s just that it’s quite surprising that Priest Sang keeps his secrets.” Wei Tu thought to himself.

According to Cao Dingxiong's memory, this holy land of fog ghosts is located in the "fog ghost cave" opened up by the powerful fog ghosts. It is below the spiritual world and above the human world, and is a demiplane attached to the spiritual world.

There are many powerful people there, including a great master who has achieved the state of integration and several masters of refining the void.

Since Priest Sang was invited by the Fog Ghost Clan to visit the "Fog Ghost Holy Land", even if his cultivation level was not at the Refining Void Realm, it must be at least at the Transformation Spirit Realm.

This is obviously inconsistent with the quasi-godhood state he has always displayed.

But think about it, with the Red Dragon Ancestor, the demonic hero, who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm when he was alive, even if he was defeated by a quasi-god-transforming strongman, he would not be defeated quickly and miserably after just a few moves, and forced to escape with his Nascent Soul out of his body.

"But...if Priest Sang is at the Divine Transformation Realm, why doesn't he open the three core palaces of the Zunwang Palace? With this person's realm and strength, it shouldn't be difficult to break the restrictions of any of the three palaces."

Wei Tu was puzzled when he thought of this.

“Unless he went there as a clone, or... the assessment of him in this secret realm of the royal palace is different from that of other cultivators?” Wei Tu touched his chin, thoughtfully.

He intuitively felt that the latter guess was correct.

The three core palaces of the Zunwang Palace: the Demon-Locking Hall, the Weapon-Smelting Hall, and the Dharma-Transmitting Pavilion.

Not to mention that the Locking Demon Hall needs to use special magical powers such as the "Yuan Zhong Divine Light" to break the "Ziwu Strange Ban".

Breaking the restrictions in the last two main palaces was much "simpler", at least not difficult compared to the true strength of Priest Sang.

The restriction outside the Weapon Smelting Hall was able to be opened by the combined efforts of the five demonic sects in the Da Cang cultivation world, so there is no reason why Priest Sang does not have this ability.

The "Bi Fen Shen Ban" of the Chuan Fa Pavilion requires body training at the Shen Hua level, or the ability to withstand a ten-breath attack at the late Shen Hua level in order to pass it safely.

How could this condition be difficult for Priest Sang, who was to visit the Holy Land of the Mist Ghost, to meet?
The only explanation is that Priest Sang was restricted in the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace and could not act at will, or the difficulty of passing the assessment was not something that the natives like them could compare to.

Yes, in Wei Tu's opinion, Priest Sang, who was able to communicate with the "Mist Ghost Clan", was undoubtedly not a native of the Da Cang cultivation world or even the human world, but more like a visitor from the spiritual world.

In addition, he was also wondering why Priest Sang had fought against the Red Dragon Ancestor back then? After all, with the Red Dragon Ancestor's ability, he could not threaten Priest Sang at all.

"Could it be... the seed of a celestial demon..."

Wei Tu suddenly remembered the only special treasure on the Red Dragon Ancestor - the Heavenly Ghost Soul Seed.

This Heavenly Ghost Soul Seed can allow cultivators to transform into Heavenly Ghosts without any injuries, and in terms of physique, it also has racial suppression on Ghost Cultivators such as Blissful Divine Candidate and Hidden Ghost Old Man...

If someone said that this Heavenly Ghost Seed was something that a mere Wanyin Sect could possess, he would be the first one not to believe it.

This soul seed, if not unexpectedly, should have been obtained accidentally by the ancestor of the Wanyin Sect in the Zunwang Palace, and then known by the priest Sang... and then the grudges continued to the generation of the Red Dragon Ancestor.

“Perhaps, this treasure is also related to the Mist Ghost Clan. After all, they are all from the same lineage of ghost cultivators…” Wei Tu glanced at the corner of the storage bag, which contained a Heavenly Ghost Soul Seed the size of an infant fist.

After the death of the Red Dragon Ancestor, his "Heavenly Ghost Body" was not scrapped, but instead transformed into a "Heavenly Ghost Soul Seed". This is one of the reasons why he said that this soul seed is special.

……

"Li Linggu, do you know the cultivator named Xuanling in the spirit world?"

Suppressing all distracting thoughts in his heart, Wei Tu thought for a moment and asked about the matter of the ghost god's split soul.

He did know something about the Fairy Xuanling through the memories of Ancient Demon Bangchen, but that was a long time ago. After all, Ancient Demon Bangchen had been suppressed in the Demon Locking Hall for more than ten thousand years.

Ten thousand years ago, Fairy Xuanling was a powerful being in the state of fusion.

What about today?

I'm afraid his achievements have already surpassed those of the past, and he may have even reached the Mahayana realm.

Otherwise, Priest Sang would not have been so covetous of the inheritance of the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace and would not have spent so many years to obtain it.

"Xuan Ling? Why are you asking about that bitch?"

The ghost soul obviously knew the existence of Fairy Xuanling. After hearing Wei Tu's words, he immediately responded.

There was a hint of fear in his words.

Hearing this, Wei Tu was immediately delighted.

He had also asked the ghost soul before, asking it whether it knew "Ling Jiangzi", a great cultivator of the spiritual world who had achieved the ultimate state of fusion. But the answer he got was that although cultivators of the ultimate state of fusion were rare, they were as numerous as carp crossing a river in the spiritual world, and no one in the ancient demon world had ever heard of this person's name.

Now, he asked Fairy Xuanling, but got the opposite answer.

This undoubtedly proves that whether in terms of strength or fame, Fairy Xuanling should be far superior to Lingjiangzi.

"Could it be that the Fog Ghost Clan is related to her?"

As expected, the ghost soul came from the Weeping River Demon Lord who played tricks on people. He quickly guessed some cause and effect entanglements from Wei Tu's questions.

“Don’t worry about this matter. Just tell me the corresponding information about Fairy Xuanling in the spirit world…” Wei Tu frowned slightly and waved his hand. He didn’t want to tell the information about the Zunwang Palace to Youshen’s soul yet. He was still very wary of this demon.

"Remember, after you finish speaking, you must swear the oath of the devil."

Wei Tu said it indifferently, without any consideration for the friendship they had worked together for several years, nor for the kindness of the Ghost God's soul that had just helped him.

But the ghost soul was very accustomed to this and didn't take it seriously.

After all, he had his own motives in helping Wei Tu, and he did not expect to train this "old devil" Wei Tu into his relative or friend.

Theirs is a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship.

So, after hearing this, the ghost soul choked and then talked about the many rumors and stories about Fairy Xuanling in the spirit world without any care. (End of this chapter)
