Mortal: The Heavenly Spiritual Root that Begins from the Demonic Path

After surging for half a month, the restless spiritual energy in this place began to slowly calm down.

As he watched the treasure ban slowly taking shape before him, Yi Jue's heart couldn't help but begin beating with excitement.

This step saves a hundred years of hard work.

You know, for a Jindan cultivator, the formation of a treasure ban often requires nurturing for a hundred years. Even if Yi Jue has the means, it will still take a hundred years of nurturing.

This is also why the magic weapons of cultivators in the late Jindan stage are often much more powerful than those in the early Jindan stage. The magic weapons can only be complete after hundreds of years of tempering.

The division in ancient times was much more rigorous. Not only were there categories of nurturing, but there were also strict divisions based on treasure bans. If a hundred years of nurturing failed to form a treasure ban, then the nurturing was in vain.

If it lasts for fifty years, it will increase one more restriction on the magic weapon, and its power will be increased by 30%.

Yi Jue watched as this treasure ban slowly grew larger, until it was almost half the size of the first treasure ban. The two treasure bans then began to slowly merge.

In this process,

"Xueyan, you control the second treasure ban, and I will control the first treasure ban."

At the most thrilling step of the treasure-ban fusion, the two of them worked together and it was actually easier than refining the magic weapon.

The two of them have been separately comprehending different treasure prohibitions over the past six months, and now that they have joined forces, their mission is complete.

Su Xiaoxiao felt her own solidity, looked at the Ghost King of Hanyuan, and then said to Xueyan.

"Xueyan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let's give it a try."

For the two of them, the two treasure bans were already the limit. Their cores had also been purified to a certain degree, and the origin of the Xuanyin Demonic Energy had been perfected. The purity of this Xuanyin Demonic Energy was not inferior to that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, the two did not stop. In this formation, Su Xiaoxiao felt that her own comprehension had been raised to a terrifying level. If she could not condense it this time, it would be very difficult in the future.

Moreover, Yi Jue's own cultivation is already so high. Su Xiaoxiao has not fought side by side with her master for a long time. She does not want to stay in the underworld forever. She hopes that she can become her master's right-hand man.

A month later, the sudden appearance of two treasure bans made Yi Jue couldn't help but be stunned. The moment these two treasure bans appeared, the momentum of the Ghost King Hanyuan suddenly dropped by one level, and he had reached the initial stage of Jindan.

And with the appearance of these two treasure bans, the Xuanyin demonic energy that had accumulated for a hundred years was fully mobilized, constantly nourishing these two treasure bans.

The cold marrow also emitted a faint glow, and the biting cold continued to surge out. Yi Jue looked at this precious land and sighed slightly.

"After this, I'm afraid I'll have to be isolated for thirty years before I can recover."

"However, the fourth ban, no, the last ban is only 70% active. But even if it is 70%, it is far beyond the ordinary three-ban magic weapon."

"Four forbidden things, a Nascent Soul-level life-definition magic weapon, this sky-repairing weapon, is it so powerful?"

"No, it's not that the Ghost God Patching Heaven Formation is strong, it's Su Xiaoxiao. Her understanding of the Ghost Dao is probably the best among everyone."

Time passed slowly, and the four treasure bans slowly merged together. Then, several balls of light flew over, and in an instant a brand new Ten Thousand Demons Banner appeared in front of Yi Jue.

The Ten Thousand Demons Banner, which previously used bones as the flagpole, skin as the flag edge, and soul silk as the flag surface, now appears, and the entire Ten Thousand Demons Banner seems like one piece.

The whole body was purple, no longer filled with the usual black air.

Yi Jue knew that the black gas was due to the incomplete utilization of the soul threads. Now, taking advantage of this opportunity, the spirit of the weapon has made great progress in cultivation, and the entire Ten Thousand Demons Banner has been refined. All the souls in the past have now become the foundation of the Ten Thousand Demons Banner.

Su Xiaoxiao walked out slowly, holding the Ten Thousand Demons Banner.

As for the Ghost King of the Cold Abyss, he is only at the initial stage of the Jindan stage. Although his origin has been restored, his one hundred years of hard training have all been used to help Su Xiaoxiao. "Sir, Xiaoxiao has lived up to your expectations and has broken through to the Ghost King."

Yi Jue looked at Su Xiaoxiao at this moment. Su Xiaoxiao was a ghost king who was born by chance. Now this ghost king not only became a spirit of the weapon, but also the incarnation of the treasure ban.

It can be said that the Ten Thousand Demons Banner is her body. Now, she can not only bring out the full effect of the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, but she can even control it to fight against the enemies.

Yi Jue carefully felt the treasure ban at the core of Su Xiaoxiao. This treasure ban was transformed from the origin of Su Xiaoxiao's innate Xuanyin ghost energy. While it was eerie and ghostly, it also had a majestic atmosphere.

Yi Jue asked,
"Did he really break through to become the Ghost Emperor?"

Su Xiaoxiao affirmed,

“Although I haven’t broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, my original Xuanyin ghost energy has now been transformed into a Xuanyin Ghost Emperor Prohibition. I have evolved my body with this prohibition, and now I can be called a Ghost Emperor.”

Yi Jue naturally knew that every treasure ban formed by the core of a magic weapon had its own name, but he did not expect that Su Xiaoxiao would break through to the Ghost Emperor by accident.

You know, Ghost Kings in the Nascent Soul stage are common, but Ghost Emperors are not common, and Ghost Emperors in the Core Formation stage are almost impossible.

The level suppression between ghosts is much stronger than the suppression between cultivators. Once Su Xiaoxiao releases her pressure, even a ghost king in the Nascent Soul stage will have his strength suppressed by 15%.

As for the Ghost King in the Jindan stage, it can reach a terrifying 30%.

"In that case, the name of the Ten Thousand Demons Banner is not very suitable. How about changing it to the Mysterious Yin Ghost Emperor Banner?"

Yi Jue suggested that, after all, the core treasure of his life already had a name, so it would be most appropriate to rename the magic weapon.

However, Su Xiaoxiao did not agree, but suggested another name.
"Xuan Yin, this may give away our true identity. It would be better to call it Ghost Emperor Banner."

Yi Jue remembered a sentence.

"If you don't work hard to cultivate immortality in this life, you will be my brother in the next life under the Emperor's Banner."

He smiled faintly and said, "Why not call it the Human Emperor Banner?"

Su Xiaoxiao felt that this name was unexpectedly appropriate and agreed immediately. Then, she used her natal treasure to brand the three words "Human Emperor Banner" on the banner pole.

Yi Jue waved his hand, and the Human Emperor Banner flew into his hand, and then he slowly stroked his first ancient treasure.

“Speaking of which, the first magic weapon refined after forming the elixir was Xiaoxiao.”

“Now, I have obtained the method of refining this ancient forbidden treasure. The first ancient treasure is also Xiaoxiao.”

"It's fate."

"It's a pity for my cave, but as long as it is completely sealed, with the essence of the cold marrow, it will be enough for it to recover within 20 to 30 years."

Just as Yi Jue put away the Emperor Banner and left, Shu Ling'er appeared in front of Yi Jue.

"What's going on? Why is there such a big commotion?"

Yi Jue's hand seal flashed, and the Ghost King of Hanyuan was tied up into a ball and thrown out directly. A jade pendant followed, and there was only one sentence in it:

"After a hundred years of nurturing, the Cold Abyss Ghost King's essence is now complete. The deal is done, and Luosha will personally open it." (End of this chapter)
