Chapter 141

"Perhaps you know that once we demon beasts become weapon spirits, we will lose our minds and can only obey the control of the weapon master."

"But the strange thing is that since the day I became conscious, I vaguely remember some things from my previous life. Although not much, it is enough for me to retain some self-awareness."

"I vaguely remember that I am a member of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan. So, I took 'Silver Moon' as my new name."

"As for my original name, I can't remember it anymore." As she spoke, the young woman took a few light steps, as if she was adapting to this new body.

"Silver Moon Wolf Clan? I have never heard of this kind of demon." Yin Mo touched his chin and said with confusion.

"That's just my incomplete memory, maybe I remembered it wrong." Yin Yue frowned slightly and said lightly.

Hearing this, Yin Mo fell silent.

"Okay, even if you have forgotten your origins. But as a spirit of an artifact, you actually have the ability to possess a body. How is that possible? Can all spirits of artifacts do this? Otherwise, the world of immortal cultivation would have fallen into chaos long ago." Yin Mo pondered for a moment and asked seriously.

"Do you think I can possess any body at will?" The young woman sneered and asked back.

"What do you mean by this?" Yin Mo narrowed his eyes, stared at her and asked.

"Strictly speaking, the skill I just used is not soul possession, but the innate ability of our Silver Moon clan, called soul devouring."

"It means using your own spirit to leave your body and directly attack the spirit and soul of others."

"When the opponent's soul is devoured or forcibly expelled from the body, we, the Silver Moon Clan, can temporarily reside in the new body."

"But this time cannot be too long, otherwise our souls will be assimilated into the new body and will never be able to leave."

"And this ability has many limitations. The spiritual awareness of our Silver Moon Wolf Clan is not stronger than that of other demon clans. If we encounter an opponent with a particularly strong Yuan Shen, we will risk our lives."

"So we rarely use it easily. But for me without a body, it doesn't seem to be a problem."

Yin Yue slightly opened her red lips and said something that surprised Yin Mo.

When Yin Mo saw her expression change, he was about to ask a question, but she said first:
"Don't ask me about the details of Soul Devouring. I don't know how it works either. It seems like I was born knowing how to use it."

"But don't worry. This ability has many limitations and cannot be used at will. And I am not the original Silver Moon Wolf body."

"It is almost impossible to use this ability in the form of a weapon spirit. If I hadn't happened to meet this four-eyed fox spirit, I would not have been able to succeed in taking over its body."

"Because in my memory, this four-eyed fox seems to be naturally restrained by our Silver Moon Wolf Clan. Plus, the body of this fox demon has actually been possessed once by other demons of the demon clan. It is not the original owner. That's why I was able to take over the body successfully." Yin Yue explained calmly.

"A four-eyed fox? Could it be the Snow Cloud Fox?" Yin Mo carefully observed her eyes and found nothing unusual, so he asked in confusion.

"The Four-Eyed Spirit Fox refers to the form of this demon fox after it has reached its peak level of cultivation. The magical eye talent it possesses is, to some extent, more terrifying than the soul devouring ability of our Silver Moon Wolf Clan."

"It can kill its enemy without any defense at all with just a smile. But in appearance, it looks no different from an ordinary snow cloud fox."

"Unfortunately, I recognized it immediately as soon as you used the skill." Yin Yue smiled slightly, revealing a hint of alluring charm.

"The demon fox's cultivation has just reached the level of a seventh-level demon beast, but why is it not considered a great success?"

"Moreover, its cultivation clearly hasn't broken through the eighth level of transformation, so why can it transform into a human form in advance?"

"And just now you were just like the demon fox before it was possessed. How come your cultivation level fluctuates? Could it be that you can also hide your cultivation level like the demon fox so that I can't detect it?"

Yin Mo bit his lip lightly and asked the biggest question in his mind.

"Haha! You have so many questions, fellow Taoist. But I haven't communicated with others for many years, so it doesn't matter."

"As for why the demon fox was able to transform into a human form in advance, I don't know. It's possible that the corpse demon saw that the situation was not good and cast some magic to forcibly transfer part of its own cultivation to the demon fox."

"That's why the difference in cultivation before and after is so huge. The true cultivation of this four-eyed demon fox is actually still that of a low-level demon beast."

"And due to some kind of restriction, even if the demon fox gains additional cultivation, it cannot get too far away from the corpse goblin's body."

"As for my current human form, I also used a similar secret technique to temporarily improve my cultivation to the level of a seventh or eighth level monster."

"But soon, these abilities will gradually dissipate, and you will return to your beast form. It will take at least a month before you can transform into a human form again."

Yin Yue kept explaining, which made Yin Mo suddenly realize.

Yin Mo thought for a moment, and finally said calmly:

"Although your explanation did not completely eliminate my doubts, I at least know most of the reasons."

"Now, I want to ask you something. Now that you have a body, what are you going to do next?"

Hearing this thoughtful question, Yin Yue smiled.

"If I tell you that I plan to leave you and practice on my own, will you plan to kill me?" Yin Yue asked with a smile.

"From the skills and magical powers you displayed today, did you deliberately let me trap you in the Xutian Palace so that I could get the Jade Ruyi?"

Yin Mo did not answer the young woman directly, but raised his eyebrows and asked this question.

After hearing this, Yin Yue was stunned for a moment, then her eyes flickered and she smiled.

"As the spirit of the Jade Ruyi, I cannot control my body to fly for a long time. If you want to leave Xutian Palace, a cultivator must carry the Ruyi with him."

"When I was taken in by you, I didn't resist with all my strength."

"On the other hand, because of the breakthrough of the Void Heaven Cauldron, his cultivation was greatly damaged."

"Even if I resisted with all my strength, I could not escape the clutches of the Nascent Soul cultivator in the end."

"If that's the case, I would rather be controlled by a Jindan cultivator." Yin Yue explained, smiling.

"I was not the only Jindan cultivator at that time. There were two others. Why did you choose me?" Yin Mo pondered for a moment and asked without relaxing.

"Are you talking about the young man named Wu who died in the fight for the Xutian Ding and the person who practiced the ghost technique?" Yin Yue moved slightly and asked back.

"That's right!"

"I don't like them! One is gloomy and full of ghosts, and the other is skinny and ugly. Although you are not a hero above thousands of people, you are still pleasing to the eye. Is this reason enough?"

Yin Yue opened her red lips and said with a smile, which sounded serious but also joking. Yin Mo couldn't help laughing and crying after hearing this.

"Since my friend is unwilling to reveal it, I will not force him. I will only ask the most crucial question. After I left Xutian Palace with Yu Ruyi, did you keep track of all my actions over the years?"

Yin Mo's tone suddenly became cold, and even the atmosphere in the room seemed to suddenly become solemn.

"That's right. I have carefully observed your skills and magic weapons. Even your younger brother's mysterious heaven-defying bottle, I know it clearly." The young woman restrained her smile and a solemn look appeared on her face.

Although he had a vague guess in his mind, Yin Mo's expression instantly became gloomy when he heard the young woman's words.

He stared coldly at the young woman opposite him and fell into silence, as if thinking about what to do next.

"Brother Yin, are you going to eliminate those who are not yours? After all, if those great sects knew that such a heaven-defying treasure existed, Brother Yin would probably end up in a bad way."

Yin Yue ignored Yin Mo's cold expression and still smiled faintly.

Hearing the woman's words, Yin Mo's eyes narrowed slightly and his gaze became as sharp as a knife.

"Since you know it well, why do you dare to say it so openly? Aren't you afraid that I will destroy your body?"

"If your body and soul are destroyed, you will naturally not leak any information. Do you think I am incapable of killing you?"

Yin Mo said in a murderous voice.

"With your current magic weapon and magical power, even if I don't use the body possession technique, I probably won't be your opponent."

"Now that I have used the Soul Devouring Technique, the cultivation power of the vessel I am inhabiting has been mostly lost."

"If the two of us fight, I have a 30% chance of winning, which is pretty good."

"Besides, the vehicle is still in your hands. It's just a matter of your thoughts to make me disappear." Yin Yue said calmly.

Yin Mo snorted coldly and said nothing more. The young woman continued:

"I am very satisfied that you have been able to endure until now and not attack me. Maybe you are not a gentleman, but at least you can distinguish right from wrong."

"If I hadn't just blocked the attack of that demon fox, you wouldn't have given me so many opportunities to talk nonsense." The young woman smiled slightly.

"Even if I give you a chance, if you can't convince me, I will still do it. I won't let anyone know about the vial unless I have control over everything."

Yin Mo admitted coldly.

"Okay, what you said is exactly what I want to hear. If you are not a decisive person, you will not be able to gain a foothold in the world of immortal cultivation. I would not have helped you before. After all, I don't want a master to die immediately after I just became his acquaintance." Yin Yue said admiringly.

"Pray to me, my master? What do you mean by that? Do you think I will let you go if you verbally acknowledge me as your master?"

Yin Mo was a little stunned, but then sneered and said.

"Of course it's not that simple. As far as I know, your Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword doesn't have a spirit yet."

"I can temporarily place my main soul in it to serve as the weapon spirit of your flying sword."

"This way, the power of your magic weapon will be greatly increased, and my life and death will also be under your control. Shouldn't you feel relieved now?"

"After all, I am your spirit, and you can sense any intention I have towards you."

"Besides, even if I have a physical body, I can't be too far away from you. You don't have to worry that I will suddenly run away."

There was a bright light in the young woman's eyes, and she said something that surprised Yin Mo.

After hearing these words, Yin Mo frowned and thought for a long time before asking without comment:

"Can a weapon spirit escape from the object it inhabits? Even if it can, why are you willing to become my weapon spirit? Are you grateful to me for bringing you out of the Xutian Palace, so you want to repay me with this?"

"Most other spirits are unable to break away from the objects they inhabit. But I am different. As long as I am willing, and with your help, I can do it."

"Of course, I would suffer from the separation, but that doesn't matter now."

"As for my purpose, I just want to get rid of the constraints of being a spirit after taking over your body. I agree to become your spirit now just to have true freedom in the future." The young woman sighed and said slowly.

"Can you explain it in more detail?" Yin Mo's heart moved, and he asked in a slightly slower tone.

"I don't know the details, but my remaining memories tell me that if I regain my body and practice some secret techniques, I might be free when you reach the legendary Spiritual Transformation stage."

"Until then, I will be at your service. If you die unexpectedly or your time is up, I will look for the next monk."

"But I think that since your little brother can possess such a treasure as the small bottle, and you can resist taking it for yourself, you are the best person to fulfill my wish. So, even if you don't mention it, I will take the initiative to ask to become your spirit."

After hearing these words, Yin Mo's face changed. After a moment, he sighed and said:

"Whether what you said is true or false, I really have no better way to control you than this method."

"Since you are willing to be my servant and my spirit, I will naturally not refuse."

"But now I have to set a temporary restriction on you. This is not something that can be done in a hurry. I still need to prepare."

"By the way, after taking over the body, how far can you stay away from the object without getting into trouble?"

Yin Mo seemed to have thought of something again.

"I can only move within a hundred miles of you now, but as the cultivation level of this demon fox body increases in the future, this range should expand."

When Yin Yue saw that Yin Mo agreed to her request, joy appeared in her eyes and she replied.

"What will happen if it exceeds this range?" Yin Mo asked seriously.

"If I go beyond this range, my soul will be summoned back by the inhabiting device. But don't worry, I know a secret technique that can seal my body in the spirit beast bag, so it's safe and sound."

"Just release my body when you need me. As for fighting, I can appear as a spirit of an artifact, or I can directly use the body of a fox demon. It depends on the situation." Yin Yue explained.

After hearing Yin Yue's words, Yin Mo nodded with satisfaction. Just as he was about to speak, he was suddenly interrupted by her:
"Oh no, my spiritual power is exhausted and I can't maintain my human form." Yin Yue's face changed and she suddenly interrupted Yin Mo.
