A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 221 Soul Control Flag

Little Spirit and Little Star were conceived within the Lake of Spirit Eyes.

He is highly talented.

It's much taller than Xiaobai and Xiaoyu.

Like the Gold-Eating Insect Swarm, it also received a spiritual infusion.

Over the years, I have unknowingly broken through the major bottleneck and naturally entered the eighth level.

but.

As a spirit insect-type spirit beast, Xiao Ling and Xiao Xing are not at the stage of transformation at level eight. Instead, like the Six-Winged Frost Centipede, they will only trigger the transformation lightning tribulation at the level of Nascent Soul or even Void Refinement stage.

We still need to continue to settle things.

The further you progress in a spirit beast or spirit insect, the harder it becomes to advance.

"I wonder when the next advancement will be."

Han Li secretly looked forward to it.

Blood Jade Spiders below level two possess the ability to spin silk, have impressive physical abilities, and an exceptionally high jumping capacity.

Blood Jade Spiders of level two or higher possess the burst-type skill Berserk.

After advancing to level five, the Blood Jade Spider gained the ability to fly. Furthermore, it can project its demonic power, forming a white protective cloud of demonic energy. Its six legs underwent a transformation, becoming as white as jade and sharper. It also possesses extremely high resistance to cold.

At level seven, their intelligence is already very high, comparable to that of a human child.

Now at level eight, its body has grown larger, and its six legs have become much longer.

The produced netting is more adhesive and more durable.

Ordinary magical sword energy could not cut through these silk nets.

And he gained two more supernatural powers.

One ability is that the two can condense the protective demonic clouds around their bodies into a set of white armor, greatly increasing their defense. The other is that they can treat the spider silk they spit out as tentacles, launching attacks in various modes.

For example, it can transform into swords or blades. Or it can coalesce into a giant snake to entangle its opponent.

When Han Li sparred with the two young partners, he felt that this move was a bit tricky.

Their shells are hard to break, and their attack methods have greatly increased.

Even an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to defeat two of them.

However, the two children's abilities were still only at the level of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, unlike the Dragon Clan, Suanni Clan, and Dragon Whale Clan, whose eighth-level cultivation was approaching the ninth-level combat power.

...

Besides the Gold-Eating Insect and the two Blood Jade Spiders, Little Spirit and Little Star, making significant progress and transformations, Little Monkey Ti Soul also underwent a change.

In the Ghost Mist Zone of the Void Heaven Palace.

The little creature devoured countless vengeful spirits and ghosts before falling into a deep slumber years ago. Awakening two years ago, its aura surged, allowing it to transform into a ferocious ape several meters tall.

The effectiveness against ghosts and spirits is significantly enhanced.

...

"Judging by the time, it's about time I refined that set of ghost-path treasures."

Looking at the ugly tree outside the Jade Pavilion and beside the Lake of Spiritual Eyes, and considering the situation of Ji Yin and Elder Ximen's two Nascent Souls, Han Li finally made up his mind.

He had been hesitating and weighing his options regarding how to utilize the Soul-Nourishing Wood.

If it were merely a matter of refining a rare treasure for nourishing the soul, it would be quite a waste.

According to his knowledge, based on a ghost-path weapon-refining technique called "Mysterious Soul Refining Technique" from the old ghost's memory in the Void Heaven Palace, Soul-Nourishing Wood can actually be used to refine ghost-path treasures.

That old ghost was none other than Xiao Cha, the Xuan Gu Master's old friend.

It was also the one who passed on the Ghost Cultivation Method to Xiao Cha.

However, that old ghost also had some tricks up his sleeve. For example, he didn't pass on to Xiao Cha the weapon-refining technique that could turn a ghost cultivator's primordial spirit into a part of a magic weapon.

This weapon-refining technique, called the Profound Soul Refining Art, can refine the primordial spirit of a ghost cultivator into a specific magical artifact, binding the ghost to the artifact from that point on, making it impossible for the ghost to break free. If the magical artifact is damaged, the ghost will also suffer a backlash.

Similar to spirit binding.

The key is that the ghost cultivator's previous supernatural abilities can be fully preserved. For example, the Xuan Gu's half-finished Asura Sacred Flame can still be refined by the Xuan Gu to further enhance its power.

Furthermore, the ghost cultivators who are now bound to the magical artifact can continue their cultivation.

Furthermore, as the cultivation level of the ghost cultivator increases, the magic weapon will also benefit and change accordingly.

As the saying goes, "If one prospers, all prosper; if one suffers, all suffer."

Back when he was in the Void Heaven Palace, he searched the old ghost's soul and learned relevant information. After that, he thought about refining this set of ghost-path treasures.

"Although Yuan Yao and Ru Shuang have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, their strength is still far inferior. At most, they can help me restrain two transformed demon cultivators. To deal with Feng Xi, I still have to rely on myself. To capture the three demons, I have to rely on myself even more. Moreover, I also have to guard against unexpected events..."

Who can be sure that after failing to find the original body's wood-attribute energy source, Feng Xi will seek out other wood-attribute demon cultivators to replace it?

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

Therefore, we still need to estimate the strength of Guirenniao's lineup as much as possible.

Instead, they should focus on improving their own overall combat strength as much as possible.

“Xiao Cha, Ji Yin, and Xi Men are all Nascent Soul cultivators.”

“Ji Yin and Xi Men’s nascent souls have not been nourished in recent years, and they are both showing signs of dementia and mental confusion. If this continues, they may lose their intelligence.”

He has to make a choice.

Either extract the soul and refine the spirit.

Either make use of waste.

"If I refine them into the main soul of the Ghostly Treasure [Soul Control Banner], I will gain three more battle powers."

"There are also more than ten Soul-Hooking Flying Spirits, which can be refined into the Soul-Controlling Banner as another powerful technique..."

In short.

It means converting the resources at hand into combat power as much as possible.

He didn't want any accidents to happen during the process of acquiring the Wind and Thunder Wings.

Once he alerts Feng Xi and scares him away, he will hardly have a second chance.

"Then, let's forge the weapon."

Having made his decision, Han Li decisively took out six one-foot-long trunks of Soul-Nourishing Wood.

Then, from the Star Palace's exchange, he took out three pieces of leather belonging to a demon cultivator who had transformed into human form.

The fourth piece of leather was taken out from Wan Tianming's storage bag.

There are also various auxiliary materials.

"Although the loss of two pieces of leather to serve as the two banners for the Soul Banner will more or less affect the overall power of this set of Soul Banner treasures, we can replace them later once we find leather from other transformed demon cultivators."

The real core material is not the spirit skin of demon cultivators, but the trunk of the Soul Nourishing Wood.

More than a month later.

Four eerie banners surrounded Han Li.

He raised his hand and pointed at the first banner, unleashing a burst of magical power. The next moment, the banner rapidly expanded to over ten zhang in size, with a skeleton of a thunder whale swimming within it. The skeletal thunder whale on the banner didn't have empty eyes; instead, it burned with two ghostly flames, one green and one gray, making it seem almost alive. When it looked up, it appeared poised to leap off the banner at any moment.

However, before the white bone thunder whale could emerge from the surface of the soul banner, two balls of ghostly fire floated out from the eye sockets of the skeleton.

The green part floated out and transformed into the appearance of Xuan Gu Shangren Xiao Cha.

Another ball of gray flame transformed into a sphere of light crackling with black lightning, circling around Xiao Cha.

Upon meeting Han Li's gaze, Xiao Cha immediately bowed respectfully and said:
"Your subordinate Xuan Gu greets your master."

"Hmm, how is the refining of the Asura Sacred Flame going?"

Han Li looked at the ball of light floating around Xiao Cha and asked.

That ball of light was none other than the Sacred Flame of Asura.

“Master, this Azure Ice Flame is indeed powerful. Even though I have been forcibly refining it for over twenty years, constantly weakening it; even though you provided a large amount of Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, preventing it from escaping, the ice flame dragon formed from the Azure Ice Flame is still unruly.”

As they were talking, the ball of light trembled.

The Ice Flame Fire Dragon, trapped between the black exorcising divine lightning and the green mysterious soul yin fire, struck the light sphere barrier again.

The impact caused the ball of light to continuously emit black arcs of electricity.

This happens frequently.

If Han Li hadn't obtained a large number of Golden Thunder Bamboo magic treasures from the Void Heaven Palace...

With an inexhaustible supply of warding-off divine lightning, otherwise Qianlan Ice Flame would probably have already escaped.

"After you bound yourself to this Soul-Controlling Flag, has your cultivation level dropped?"

"No."

"Can I use the magical artifacts I possessed during my lifetime?"

"Yes, I can. Please see, Master."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and shot out a small golden thunder bamboo arrow, which was the very same Demon-Slaying Arrow.

Black lightning bolts swirled and danced above it.

Its power and prestige are quite remarkable.

"Not bad."

Han Li nodded.

He then looked at the second flag.

It has a skull printed on it.

He raised his hand and channeled a burst of magical power into the flagpole, instantly expanding the flag to ten zhang (approximately 33 meters). Then, the skull spontaneously emerged from the flag. "Hehehe..."

A chilling, sinister laugh instantly filled the secret room.

Immediately afterwards, two flames, one black and one green, appeared in the skull's pupils. The black flame floated out and transformed into an extremely yin form.

Upon appearing, Ji Yin first bowed to Han Li:
"Your subordinate, Jiyin, greets your master."

After Han Li nodded slightly, he immediately looked up and stared straight at Xiao Cha.

Xiao Cha also stared intently at Ji Yin.

The air seemed to freeze between them, as if electric sparks were colliding and bursting out.

They looked ready to start a fight at the slightest provocation.

"Master, long time no see."

He gave an extremely sinister and cold smile.

Another ball of flame from the skull floated into his hand and instantly transformed into the Heavenly Corpse Fire.

At the same time, inside the banner behind them, more than a dozen skulls crackled and throbbed, ready to leap about. Those were demonic heads transformed from the Heavenly Corpse.

Without the constraints of flesh and blood, those Heavenly Corpse Demons became even more sinister.

"You traitor, you've certainly made a name for yourself these past few years..."

Xuan Gu snorted coldly.

Holding the unfinished Asura Sacred Flame in his hand, the three-colored flames illuminated his face, making him look extremely sinister and eerie.

From within the banner behind him, a massive skeleton of a thunder whale leaped out and landed at Xuan Gu's feet.

The aura at this moment was even more sinister than that of the other two.

"Gentlemen, please don't do this. We're all on the same side now."

The third Soul-Controlling Banner didn't need Han Li to activate it; instead, an old man with white eyebrows and a white beard, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance, spontaneously appeared.

It was Elder Ximen.

The banner behind him was engraved with a golden longsword, a two-headed tiger with fierce eyes, and ten strange flying birds.

The flying sword is his natal magic weapon.

The ten eerie, gray-black birds are soul-stealing spirits.

The giant tiger is a level 7 vengeful ghost with great intelligence, located in the Ghost Mist Zone of the Void Heaven Palace.

After being coerced and lured, this old fellow voluntarily let his primordial spirit separate from his nascent soul and transform into a ghost cultivator, thus establishing a three-way balance of power with the master and disciple in front of him.

"Your subordinate, Ximen Jie, greets your master."

...

The Soul-Controlling Banner, also known as the Venerable Soul Banner, is another great demonic treasure in Han Li's possession.

The three main souls within are nourished and strengthened by the Soul-Nourishing Wood, and their growth rate is much faster than that of ordinary ghost cultivators.

Furthermore, they have retained most of their previous abilities, making them formidable opponents.

"With three more powerful combat forces, we will no longer fear the three demons of the Noble Bird."

...

of course.

This is still not enough to guarantee safety.

"If Yanli could also form a Nascent Soul, that would be wonderful."

The addition of a Nascent Soul level combatant, even if he is among the weakest, can still play a significant role.

but.

Yanli's foundation was ultimately lacking.

Although he has now reached the peak of the late Core Formation stage.

But it's still a bit short of the realm of a false infant.

The main problem is that the strength of the primordial spirit is not up to standard.

Either endure decades or even centuries, using the nourishment of the Golden Elixir and the Soul-Nourishing Wood to strengthen your primordial spirit, or master the third level of the Great Evolution Technique to significantly increase your divine sense.

If one's primordial spirit is not strong enough and one's divine sense is lacking, it is very dangerous to forcibly shatter the core and condense the nascent soul under such circumstances.

"That's all."

"The only thing we can do is to improve the cultivation level of our main body as much as possible."

period.

He had also considered splitting his primordial spirit in two, planting one half of it into Feng Hun's body, and then shattering his core to form a new nascent soul.

However, the price of doing so is a significant loss of one's cultivation level and vital energy, which could very likely cause one to fall in cultivation realm.

after all.

The nascent soul is the perfect fusion of the three treasures: essence, energy, and spirit.

In other words, the main spirit is already bound to the nascent soul of the main body. Let alone losing nearly half of it, even losing a third, like with the Forbidden God Token, would turn a person into an idiot. Even a nascent soul cultivator cannot withstand such torment and cannot bear the division of nearly half of their spirit.

If the nascent soul is injured, how could its cultivation level not drop?
This time.

However, the essence left behind after the nascent soul of the Wind Soul dissipated did not help the main body restore its cultivation.

Once one falls from a certain level, it will take at least several years, or even a decade, to recover.

Even if one uses the Great Evolution Technique to separate hundreds of strands of thought, then merges these hundreds of strands of thought and sends them into the Wind Soul's body, one can still attempt to condense a Nascent Soul.

The risks are still very high.

If Han Li fails to form his Nascent Soul, it will mean losing his Wind Soul, a powerful force, in a short period of time, as well as losing several hundred points of spiritual energy.

This will also severely damage his vital energy and impair his consciousness.

therefore.

He gave up the idea.

Alternatively, obtain the Spiritual Infant of the Wood and refine it into a second Nascent Soul.

Alternatively, obtain the most advanced Taoist technique for creating clones, "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones"!
I wonder if the Tai Zhen Sect in Tiannan has any related methods?
Or perhaps, we could try our luck in the Crimson Forbidden Land?

Before leaving Biling Island, he removed the remaining one-foot-long trunk of the Soul-Nourishing Wood, leaving only one foot-long rootstock to grow there.

He crafted several small gadgets from this foot-long piece of tree trunk.

Includes: a ring, a bracelet, a pendant, a necklace, a mask, and a hairpin.

He didn't waste the remaining scraps; instead, he used refining techniques to reassemble and polish them into a string of beads.

A bracelet resembling a Bodhi bead.

He wore the bracelet, the ring, and even the string of leftover beads himself.

Qu Hun wore a Soul-Nourishing Wood Ring on the little finger of his left hand.

On Feng Hun's left wrist, he wore a Soul-Nourishing Wood Bracelet.

The string of beads was worn on the left ankle of the main body's nascent soul, while the mask was worn on the face of the main body's nascent soul.

To nourish the soul, one must naturally nourish it through the nascent soul.

He didn't waste a single material from the Soul-Nourishing Wood tree.

Subsequently.

He took over the palace, dug up hundreds of high-grade spirit stones, and took away many top-grade spirit stones that restored a lot of top-grade spiritual energy.

Then, with a burst of light, they headed straight for Meteor Island.

Upon seeing Yuan Yaoyan, he presented her with a pendant and a necklace.

"Come on, see if it suits you."

After stroking the two women's hair, Han Li put a headdress pendant on Yuan Yao, which further accentuated her wild beauty.

"Husband, what is this?"

"A pendant made of Soul-Nourishing Wood can nourish the primordial spirit and enhance divine consciousness. It will greatly benefit your future cultivation. When cultivating the subsequent Great Evolution Technique, you will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

As Han Li gave a brief explanation, he took out the necklace and personally put it on Yanli.

He then casually praised:

"Indeed, even the worst skills become a beautiful embellishment when they fall into your hands."

One sentence made the two women smile.

"Huh? Husband, your cultivation level..."

Previously, Yuan Yao could sense her man's cultivation level.

But now, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, she can no longer see through Han Li.

"While traveling, I stumbled upon a small opportunity. I was just trying to see if I could break through. As a result, I broke through directly."

Han Li said with a smile.

I told a white lie.

After one day and two nights:

"You all should get some rest."

Before leaving, Han Li kissed the foreheads of both women, coaxing them into a deep sleep.
