Hell Emperor.

Chapter 270: Phantom Butterfly - Soul Nourishment
"There's none……"

Seeing Ye Jie's thoughtful expression, Ren Changhong glanced at him inconspicuously: "Where are your family members? You asked me to return to my family, but what about you? Where are your family members?"

Ye Jie remained silent. The shocking secrets related to the six stitched pages prevented him from recognizing his family. Even though they were right in front of him, he did not dare to reveal his identity and could only endure the torment alone.

Feeling the waves in Ye Jie's heart, the butterfly lying quietly in his palm also fluttered its wings gently a few times, conveying a sense of warmth to him.

Even though Ye Jie didn't want to bring disaster to his family, You Die had already recognized his identity, and the rest of his family would know it sooner or later.

Ye Jie must hurry up and modify his own file as much as possible before the secret of the six-sided stitching page is exposed, and improve his strength to a level that no one can shake. Only in this way can he protect his family!
"Underworld Palace... I'm a little sorry, but I've taken over your main account!"

Ye Jie's eyes sank. The current highest authority of the six-sided stitching page was to modify the skills to the Daoshi stage. If he wanted to increase the authority and modify the skills to the next stage, he would need more main accounts of the Book of Life and Death.

Beside him, Ren Changhong also felt the change in Ye Jie's aura and was a little curious: "What's wrong? You seem a little... different."

Ye Jie shook his head: "Maybe you're overthinking it... After the previous bait mission and the attempt to transform into a sword, I'm already very tired. I'll go back and rest first."

Ren Changhong did not doubt him. After all, Ye Jie was only in the late second stage of cultivation, which was terribly low.

Just now, he was acting as bait, facing a ghost fairy whose realm was far superior to his own. You can imagine how much energy he consumed. Coupled with the successive attempts to transform into a sword, he must be exhausted and want to rest, which is understandable.

Ren Changhong sighed: "There is only one day left before the competition begins. The highest level of the Nether Spirit Magical Treasure we have created is only at the fifth level. It will be difficult to win..."

After a pause, she said sympathetically, "However, excessive use of the Dark Spirit Divine Art can cause the soul to collapse. Since you are tired, you should have a good rest. Even if you lose the competition and His Highness Moruo blames you, I will bear the responsibility. You don't need to feel any pressure."

Ye Jie looked at her deeply. After all these things, a deep friendship was formed between the two.

If it were based on their original relationship, Ren Changhong would never let Ye Jie rest even if his soul was about to be torn apart.

After saying goodbye, Ye Jie soon returned to Shura's guest room.

The guest room was deathly silent. Shura Yan, who had stayed here before, was receiving treatment in the Nether Spirit Palace due to his serious injuries from the attack. Only the sound of Ye Jie's returning footsteps echoed in the slightly empty room.

If Lin Hanyan were still here, she would definitely come and ask about the result of the bait mission with concern.

Ye Jie shook his head, clearing away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and quickly returned his attention to the butterfly in his hand, which had a weak breath and only half of its wing was left.

He bid farewell to Ren Changhong, of course not because he was tired, that was just an excuse. His real purpose was to find a way to help Youdie recover.

Youdie was injured because of him, and he also asked him to secretly learn a martial art with amazing effects. Ye Jie would do anything to make Youdie get better.

Thinking of this, Ye Jie reached into his arms and took out six stitched pages. His eyes quickly locked onto the column of martial arts files.

[Kungfu learned: Dragon Transformation (Dao Shi), Bodhi Heart Method (Dao Shi), Evil Ghost Pressing the Body (Dao Shi), Dragon Catching Hand (Return to the Truth), Soul Breaking Arrow (Transformation), Soul Binding Rope (Transformation), Cloud Covering the Eyes (Transformation), Mysterious Shadow Step (Transformation), Golden Wool Soul Nourishing Technique (Transformation), Smoke and Fire (Transformation), Blood Shadow Devil Palm (Transformation), Sea of ​​Blood Difficult to Cross (Transformation)]

With the help of Youdie, Ye Jie learned not only one martial art, but two.

The first one was the "Evil Ghost Pressing the Body" in the "Fixing Body" technique. In order to restrict the actions of Xuehe Shura, Ye Jie had to spend a lot of Yin De to upgrade the "Evil Ghost Pressing the Body" to the Daoshi stage. This level of technique would affect even the ghost immortals, and it was considered a major killer move in Ye Jie's hands.

The second method is the Blood Sea Difficult to Cross in the Blood Demon Sutra. By performing this method, one can transform the body into an endless sea of ​​blood, losing the solid form, and while avoiding other people's killing moves, one can also move quickly and flexibly, which is an excellent method for escaping.

After stealing the skills from a master, Ye Jie had a vague feeling that this technique was not complete, but was missing some key parts.

Those key points are exactly the real killing moves recorded in the Blood Demon Sutra.

In the complete Blood Demon Sutra, Crossing the Sea of ​​Blood is not a method of escaping from the enemy at all, but the starting point of a series of powerful killing moves.

After transforming into a sea of ​​blood, the Blood Demon Sutra will show its true power. Whether it is directly drowning the enemy with blood, or using more sophisticated skills to kill them, the Blood Demon Sutra can do it.

Unfortunately, Youdie only learned the solitary trick of "Difficult to Cross the Sea of ​​Blood", and its usage became limited. It was difficult to be of any use except to escape.

Just like the Dragon Yuan Sutra, it is a residual move in the Divine Dragon Transformation. Just practicing the Dragon Yuan Sutra can only use the Dragon Yuan cultivated by this method to strengthen the origin, but it cannot derive a series of killing moves related to the Divine Dragon.

Secretly learning two kinds of martial arts at once, and both of them were of high quality, made Youdie exhausted, and finally suffered the tragic collapse of her soul.

Holding Youdie in his hands, Ye Jie couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

He thought of Ren Changhong's question just now, where is his family? His family is here.

After the evolution of the Nether Spirit Divine Art, there was an implicit connection between Youdie and Ye Jie, and their minds became connected to each other. Even without saying a word, they could feel what the other was thinking.

Seeing Ye Jie was heartbroken, Youdie's only remaining wings trembled gently, as if to comfort Ye Jie, saying that all this was her choice and that Ye Jie didn't need to blame himself for it.

Ye Jie's heart trembled. Until this moment, Youdie had been thinking about him, which made it even more difficult for him to calm down. Now, he began to understand Xia Wei's feelings at the time. It turned out that it would be so painful to watch his family's souls collapse for him.

Once upon a time, when Ye Jie transformed into a ghost magic weapon, overdrawn his strength, and his soul collapsed, he did not feel pain. On the contrary, now, watching his family's souls collapse for him, it was even more painful for him ten times or a hundred times.

Thinking of this, Ye Jie did not hesitate and immediately took out six stitched pages. As his mind moved, soon, words appeared on them.

[Bookkeeping of life and death:]

[In the summer of the 639th year of the Moruo calendar, Shura Jie spent 500,000 Yin De to modify the martial arts files.]

[Golden Wool Soul Nourishing Technique (Transformation) has been changed to Golden Wool Soul Nourishing Technique (Return to the True Self).] [Xura Jie spent one million Yin De to modify the skill file.]

[Golden Wool Soul Nourishing Technique (Returning to the True Self) has been changed to Golden Wool Soul Nourishing Technique (Heavenly Man). 】

[Xura Jie spent 5 million Yin De to modify the martial arts files. ]

[Golden Wool Soul Nourishing Technique (Tian Ren) has been changed to Golden Wool Soul Nourishing Technique (Dao Shi). 】

With a total of 6.5 million Yin De invested, Ye Jie also improved the Golden Silk Soul Nourishing Technique to its current limit, which is the Dao Shi level!
Dao Shi level techniques, as its name suggests, are the beginning of the great Dao. Techniques at this level cannot be measured by ordinary eyes. Only true immortals can practice a certain technique to the extreme and reach the Dao Shi level!
The Golden Cotton Soul Nourishing Technique was a soul-nourishing method that a former maid from the wine country found for Ye Jie. This method required the cooperation of both parties in order to achieve the miraculous effect of repairing the soul.

In the past, whenever Ye Jie’s soul was injured and collapsed, it was thanks to the cooperation of the maids in practicing Qigong and balancing Yin and Yang that Ye Jie’s soul was restored to its original state. Even though he would be weak for a long time after the practice, they never complained.

At this point, Ye Jie originally wanted to modify Youdie's file and teach her the Golden Cotton Soul-Nourishing Technique, but he found out awkwardly that due to the lack of corresponding martial arts manuals, he could not directly add the Golden Cotton Soul-Nourishing Technique to Youdie's file.

Fortunately, there is no restriction on using the six-sided stitching pages to modify one's own martial arts files. All one needs is enough good deeds and sufficient permissions. Ye Jie spent 6.5 million good deeds and modified the Golden Silk Soul Nourishing Technique to the Dao Shi level in one fell swoop.

When the Golden Silk Soul Nourishing Technique was modified to the Daoshi level, all the things related to this method slowly unfolded in Ye Jie's mind like a scroll.

The Golden Silk Soul-Nourishing Technique at the Daoshi level has a function that is far more than just repairing a collapsed soul. That is only its most superficial function. It also has another miraculous effect, which is to help practitioners improve their cultivation.

Of course, to improve one's cultivation, certain prerequisites need to be met, that is, two people need to practice together.

Those with higher cultivation levels will not only not benefit from it, but will fall into a state called rotten cotton. Not only will they be mentally exhausted, but the power of all their skills will also be greatly reduced, lasting for several days.

On the contrary, those with lower cultivation can use more refined spiritual power or immortal essence to help in cultivation, quickly break through the realm of their skills, and the power of their skills will also be greatly improved. The maximum power will not exceed the realm of those with higher cultivation.

Feeling the power of the Golden Silk Soul Nourishing Technique, Ye Jie glanced sideways. He never thought that an ordinary Soul Nourishing Technique, after being cultivated to the Daoshi stage, could also produce such a special effect.

Sure enough, among the three thousand great ways, no matter which one you choose, as long as you can reach the extreme, the effect will not be weak.

What Ye Jie wanted to use was not the latter effect of the Golden Cotton Soul Nourishing Technique, but the most basic one, which was to repair the power of the soul, in order to heal Youdie's injuries.

Ye Jie placed Youdie in front of him. Since he had no materials to set up an array, he simply practiced his internal energy according to the method of the Golden Silk Soul Nourishing Technique. The extremely rich dragon essence in his body flowed like an endless drizzle, following certain rules and passing into Youdie's body bit by bit.

As Ye Jie practiced his skills, a faint fluorescent light appeared on the body of the ghost butterfly. Even the broken wings were condensed again under the repair of the flowing light, and recovered little by little.

The dark purple aura spread out, and the Daoshi level Golden Fiber Soul Nourishing Technique was used to repair the soul collapse, which was easy to obtain. Without those complicated formation rituals, the only thing Ye Jie had to do now was to maintain a sufficient supply of Dragon Essence.

Not long after, Ye Jie exhaled a breath and ended his practice. The dark purple butterfly in front of him was now intact and was flying around him, expressing the joy in his heart.

The fluttering butterfly soon landed on Ye Jie's shoulder. She gently touched Ye Jie's neck with her antennae, as if she had something to say to Ye Jie.

Ye Jie felt what Youdie meant and smiled. The Mingling Divine Art began to work, and Youdie once again transformed into a pocket-sized girl who looked like Li Fei'e and sat on Ye Jie's shoulder.

"Brother Jie, thank you..."

In a trance, Ye Jie suddenly heard a girl's faint whisper. He was slightly stunned and quickly held the Xingyue Linglong Moth in the palm of his hand.

Looking at the palm-sized girl, Ye Jie couldn't help but be very curious and asked, "Can you speak?"

The girl nodded timidly: "I didn't know how to do it at first, but I suddenly knew how to do it just now..."

Ye Jie was stunned, and at the same time, his soul felt genuinely tired.

It’s strange to say, ever since Ye Jie learned the Divine Dragon Transformation, he has never felt tired again, and is always in an extremely energetic state. Even after a long period of time of changes under the Nether Spirit Divine Art, nothing happened.

According to his estimation, if he were to transform into the third-grade artifact in Xia Wei's hand, the Black Blade Demon-Slaying Sword, he could at least sustain high-intensity combat for a whole day without having to worry about the collapse of his soul.

But now, the feeling of fatigue from the depths of his soul occupied his entire mind. He felt dizzy and just wanted to have a good rest.

Seeing the changes in the Xingyue Linglong Moth, Ye Jie also understood something in his heart. She suddenly learned to speak, which was obviously related to the Golden Cotton Soul Nourishing Technique.

One of the abilities of the Golden Cotton Soul Nourishing Technique is to transfer the power of the party that is performing the exercise to the other party. It seems that the Golden Cotton Soul Nourishing Technique not only repaired Youdie's injuries, but also gave her new abilities.

Seeing that the Xingyue Linglong Moth learned to speak, Ye Jie raised his eyebrows, with more curiosity in his eyes.

The Star-Moon Linglong Moth is considered a kind of Nether Spirit Magical Weapon. He has never seen a magic weapon that can move, let alone a magic weapon that can speak. The magic of the Nether Spirit Divine Art is so magical that no practitioner has yet fully mastered it.

"Don't tell Moth my identity."

As if he had thought of something, Ye Jie sighed, and then began to give instructions to the Xingyue Linglong Moth.

The miniature girl didn't know the deep meaning of this. Her crystal clear eyes were now filled with a bit of grievance. She said in a sad voice, "Brother Jie...you, you don't want my master anymore?"

The miniature girl's voice was exactly the same as Li Fei'e's, as if Li Fei'e was choking with sobs in her own mouth.

In response, Ye Jie coughed dryly: "It's not what you said... It's just that I can't protect myself now. If I'm involved in the secrets of the Ten Kings of Hell, I'll be killed if I'm not careful. Once E'er and the others know that I'm still alive, they will inevitably be implicated. This is for their own good. You can't reveal the secret."

After listening to Ye Jie's explanation, the pocket-sized girl puffed her lips and finally agreed.
