Chapter 116: Soul-crying Beast's Buffet
Afterwards, the two Xinggong law enforcement elders sat down cross-legged on the left and right sides of the hall entrance and ignored everyone.
The Jindan cultivators present had various expressions on their faces and looked extremely worried.
At the same time, Master Xuan Gu's long voice slowly came into my ears:
"Boy, be careful. The Xinggong monk is not a good person. When the evil is strong, he will suppress the evil. When the righteous is strong, he will also suppress the righteous."
"It doesn't give either side a chance to grow stronger. Moreover, every time they go to Xutian Palace, many cultivators from both the righteous and evil sides die inexplicably. It's possible that they were plotted against by the people from Xinggong."
After listening to Master Xuan Gu's words, Chen Yun touched his chin and remained silent.
As a time traveler, I naturally knew everything about Xinggong's actions.
As the "ruler" of the Chaos Star Sea, it occupies the most cultivation resources and has two Star Palace saints in the late Nascent Soul stage. Naturally, it will not allow both the righteous and the evil to challenge the hegemony of the Star Palace.
Even though the Xutian Palace is only opened once every three hundred years, the Xinggong has been passed down to this day and has already mastered many of its restrictions, which is enough to allow it to easily enter the inner hall and even change the dangers encountered when passing through the levels.
This is also the reason why Xinggong "legitimately" uses Xutian Palace to eliminate both the righteous and evil monks.
In the following time, the two Star Palace elders remained motionless from beginning to end, as if they had entered into Qi training, and no longer spoke.
Three more days passed in this strange atmosphere.
In the past few days, cultivators have appeared one after another, but they are all Jindan stage cultivators, and no new Yuanying stage cultivators have appeared.
Fourth day.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a series of piercing roars, a white jade door suddenly fell down at the entrance of the hall without any warning, completely sealing off the entire hall.
The surging white light enveloped the white jade gate at this moment.
From afar, it looked all white and could not be explored with spiritual sense.
Looking at the scene before them, all the Jindan cultivators present showed panic on their faces. In contrast, the Yuanying cultivators looked calm, without any sign of abnormality.
The two Star Palace elders opened their eyes calmly at this time and stood up suddenly.
The two of them flashed and walked towards the hall.
Just as the two were about to set off, they saw a slight shaking suddenly occur at the end of the hall, and then several stone slabs on the ground suddenly burst into dazzling white light.
Chen Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and saw a teleportation array about ten feet in size located there.
The two elders in white walked calmly to the teleportation array and bowed to examine it carefully.
After a while, the two looked at each other and nodded.
"Okay, there is no problem with this teleportation array. From here, we will reach the outer hall of Xutian Palace."
Having said this, the two Star Palace elders looked at each other, and then stepped onto the teleportation array one after the other:
"You all should take care of yourself."
A series of long sounds were heard, and the two of them had already disappeared without a trace in the flash of white light.
Looking at the scene before them, the Jindan cultivators in the hall could not help but look at each other, not daring to move rashly.
"Humph!"
Wan Tianming glanced at the bearded man, snorted coldly, then led Tianwuzi and Hei Mingzi, floated down and stepped onto the teleportation array.
As the white light surged, the three people disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Looking at this scene, the Jindan cultivators who were closer hurriedly stepped forward.
As the white light surged on the teleportation array, the number of Jindan cultivators in the hall suddenly decreased by half.
Seeing this, Chen Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and his figure flashed and turned into a phantom, escaping towards the teleportation array.
And the old ancestor Ji Yin who was on the jade pillar looked at Chen Yun flying in the air, his slender eyes slightly narrowed, staring at Chen Yun's back, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Chen Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling the cold gaze coming from behind him, and a barely perceptible murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
If the old ancestor Ji Yin is blind, I don't mind killing him early.
Accompanied by a feeling of dizziness, Chen Yun opened his eyes again.
The man had already appeared on a desolate little hill of earth, with no one around.
"That's good too. There's no need to hide it anymore."
Chen Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and gently stroked the spirit beast bag around his waist with his right hand.
"call out!"
Following a sharp sound of breaking through the air, an emerald green crying soul leaped lightly and landed steadily on Chen Yun's shoulder.
A pair of smart eyes quickly took in everything in front of them.
This is the first level of the outer hall of Xutian Palace, a ghostly place filled with many ghosts.
However, the strength of the ghosts here is at most the ghost king in the false infant stage, and none of them has reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Therefore, for Chen Yun, whose strength has reached the pseudo-infant stage, there is no threat.
Chen Yun put his hands behind his back and walked slowly to the small earthen slope. He looked around and found that the surroundings were gray and there was endless gray-white fog floating everywhere.
There were gusts of cold wind blowing in the fog, accompanied by the faint sound of ghosts crying and screaming, which made people feel cold in their hearts.
However, the ghost fog was blocked outside by a layer of faint white light near the slope and could not advance any further.
Looking at the gray-white ghost fog in front of him, Chen Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly and waved his sleeves.
A ball of golden light suddenly enveloped him.
When the gray-white ghost fog saw a living person approaching, it began to boil as if it had life, and rolled towards Chen Yun.
If an ordinary mortal encounters this grayish-white mist, his blood and essence will be sucked away immediately, and he will turn into a dried corpse and die, and his soul will become a part of this ghost mist.
However, Chen Yun is a cultivator in the False Infant Stage, so he does not need to use any defensive magic weapon. He can withstand the surging ghost fog just by relying on the protective spiritual light.
As the ghost fog approached Chen Yun, golden arcs of electricity flashed by.
Then the surging ghost fog dissipated out of thin air.
Chen Yun gently scratched the crying soul on his shoulder, and walked slowly forward with one foot high and one foot low.
Because it is the underworld, the place is very humid, with potholes underfoot and even a lot of black mud.
He didn't know how long he had been walking, but he didn't encounter any ghosts along the way, which was beyond Chen Yun's expectations.
Unconsciously, as time passed, the color of the ghost fog gradually changed from its original grayish white to black.
"It looks like a big guy is coming."
Chen Yun smiled lightly, tapped the brow of the Weeping Soul Beast on his shoulder, and said jokingly: "You will have a good meal next."
After saying this, Chen Yun continued walking along the thick black fog.
After walking for half a cup of tea, bursts of crying suddenly came from the distance.
The voice sounded like a woman's voice, high-pitched and low-pitched, almost incoherent, making people extremely irritated and uneasy.
Chen Yun raised his eyebrows slightly. This was the soul-bewitching ghost sound, an innate spell of high-level demon ghosts. When used against an enemy, it would cause the opponent, whose cultivation was far lower than his own, to have the blood flow reversed throughout the body, making him unable to control himself and dancing wildly.
It is actually an extremely insidious ghost secret technique.
Looking in the direction of the crying sound, I saw thick black fog rolling in the ghost fog not far away.
I saw a huge ghost figure, offering an emerald green gem, and attacking Chen Yun.
As soon as Baozhu approached, Chen Yun felt an extremely biting chill.
"crash"
Pitch-black cold air quickly poured out from the emerald green gem.
"It can't be wasted."
Chen Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the gem that was constantly emitting cold air, waved his sleeves, and a dark blue figure flashed by.
The clam girl in a long skirt floated down, with a faint blue light in her beautiful eyes, looking quite magical. The clam girl slowly stretched out her slender jade hand and touched the center of her eyebrows.
Then a faint blue light surged, and a blue ice lotus emerged from his red lips.
Suspended in the air, blue light surged on it, instantly absorbing the black cold fog completely.
As time passed, the color of the emerald green gem quickly dimmed, and in contrast, the blue light of the blue ice lotus became increasingly dazzling.
This ghost was quite intelligent. Seeing that it was weakened, it quickly called out a few times behind it.
"Huh! Huh!"
As two sharp sounds of breaking through the air were heard, two monsters covered with green hair were seen rushing over from a distance.
Except for their pointed heads and the fact that each of their hands held a short white bone fork several feet long, these two monsters were just like ordinary green-haired zombies.
But Chen Yun knew that these two green-haired monsters were not ordinary creatures, but Demon Yasha.
It is a very rare creature among zombies, and one of the few ghosts that can move in the daytime and fly between heaven and earth.
"Crash!"
Demon Yasha swung the short bone fork in his hand vigorously, and green ghost fire quickly spurted out of it and rushed towards the clam girl.
"Go, little one!"
Chen Yun shook his right shoulder lightly, and the Soul-Crying Beast on his shoulder leaped forward.
"Ouch!"
The Soul-Crying Beast shook its nose vigorously, and a yellow light instantly sprayed out, falling directly on the green ghost fire.
No matter how fierce the will-o'-the-wisp fire was, once it was swept by the rosy glow, it would be completely sucked into the belly without leaving anything.
However, these two Demon Yakshas only dared to attack with the ghost fire on their bone forks and did not dare to get within a few feet of the Soul-Crying Beast. They were very afraid of the soul-capturing light.
This is also thanks to the special nature of the Demon Yasha. Because they have physical bodies, they are not afraid of the soul-capturing light of the Soul-Crying Beast as long as they are not at close range.
Of course, all this is also because the Soul-Crying Beast is not very powerful. If it evolves once.
This kind of character can swallow it into his body by just flicking his nose.
"Go and end the battle!"
Chen Yun waved his sleeves, and a green figure slowly walked out from behind Chen Yun.
The wood spirit was wearing an emerald green dress, and her whole body was enveloped in emerald green light.
Above the protective aura, golden arcs flickered from time to time.
The divine thunder that can ward off evil is the nemesis of these evil creatures. With the intervention of the wood spirit, the fate of the three-headed ghost is already determined.
Looking at the slowly approaching Mu Ling, the black ghost had a ferocious look on his face. He bared his teeth and roared at Mu Ling, revealing a mouth full of black and yellow fangs.
"call out!"
Mu Ling waved his hand and emerald green bamboo bee cloud swords flew out from his sleeves.
A total of nine Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords flashed by.
From a distance, it looked like a green dragon with arcs of electricity surging on it.
As soon as the pitch-black ghost energy approached, it was easily defeated and dissipated in the air.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the face of the pitch-black ghost suddenly changed, and he hurriedly tried to take back the green bead and escape.
It’s a pity that now that he has got the things, how could Chen Yun let it go.
His eyes couldn't help but glance at the clam girl.
"Crash!"
The biting deep blue ice quickly poured out from the blue ice lotus.
The cold fog spread extremely quickly in the blink of an eye, completely enveloping the emerald green bead.
"Crash!"
The surging cold fog was constantly being absorbed from the green beads.
The originally emerald green beads now turned pale white, and the spiritual light on them became dim.
"Aww!"
The ghost screamed, it was obvious that this gem was very important to him.
"Crack!"
Accompanied by a sharp thunderous sound, the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword fell heavily and penetrated directly into the chest of the ghost.
The dazzling divine thunder that wards off evil constantly moves across its body surface.
Its body continued to tremble, and the black mist dissipated.
Seeing this scene, the remaining two Demon Yashas also thought about turning around and escaping.
It’s a pity that the meat is right at his mouth, how can the crying soul let it go.
Tihun leaped up and pounced in front of the two Demon Yakshas while they were distracted.
He waved his nose vigorously, and a deep yellow light quickly flowed out of his nose.
Before the two Demon Yashas could even utter a groan, they were swallowed whole into the nose.
"Crash!"
The commotion here immediately attracted nearby ghosts.
The gray ghost fog continued to roll, and the shrill whimpering sound continued to ring out.
The gray shadow appeared on the side vaguely, and with a few "puff" sounds, seven or eight evil ghosts with horns on their heads and sharp fingers jumped out from the fog around them.
"Weiwu Ghost"
Chen Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly. These Weiwu ghosts were not very powerful, but they were in the late stage of foundation building.
"It looks like the Soul-Crying Beast can have a good meal this time."
Chen Yun chuckled and looked towards the Soul-Crying Beast not far away.
I saw the glow in his nose extending and rolling, and he directly sucked a demon that was approaching him into his stomach.
As the Soul-Crying Beast devoured more ghosts, the aura emanating from it became stronger and stronger.
【Crying Soul Beast】
[Realm: Foundation Building Stage]
[Talent Magical Power: Soul-Absorbing Divine Light]
Chen Yun's eyes moved slightly, and he swept across the Soul-Crying Beast not far away. He saw an attribute bar visible only to him appear in front of him.
After devouring a large number of ghosts, the Soul-Crying Beast's strength has reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.
However, this only improves its strength and it has not yet undergone its first evolution.
In the original novel, after the Weeping Soul Beast followed Han Li into the Yin and Ming Land, it devoured a large number of Yin and Ming beast souls.
After escaping from the dark land, the weeping soul broke through the bottleneck, formed a black cocoon, and evolved into a higher level. The appearance of the evolved weeping soul also changed.
At the lower end of the big nose, between the two nostrils, there was a tiny hole, and on the fur on the back, a bloody evil spirit pattern appeared, like a ghost.
It also acquired a natural magical power that allows it to transform into the image of an evil ghost behind it. It can not only suck souls and eat ghosts, but also absorb the energy of refined corpses.
"I wonder if it's possible to make the Soul-Crying Beast evolve here?"
Chen Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.
If it could advance here, the Soul-Crying Beast's strength would certainly be able to rival that of a Jindan cultivator.
