Unlucky Soul Devouring Old Demon (5.4K)_3 Chapter 936: 377: News about Xu Wei and Mini Array Spirit!
Unlucky Soul Devouring Old Demon (5.4K)_3 He had regained some of his old butcher’s flair, now able to communicate normally with Chen Dengming in his mind.
“Brother Chen, even if I, Old Zhu, were to deceive the Infernal Ghost Monarch, I would never dare to joke about such matters.
This time, not only did I spot a fragment of our little Ancestor’s soul, but I also found some news related to Sister Xu Wei.”
Chen Dengming contained his emotions and chuckled, “The nickname you gave to Mini Array Spirit as our little Ancestor is quite apt.
Continue, what’s the news?”
Ghost Zhu Xun said, “According to the ghost creatures that currently follow me, if a ghost is on the brink of soul disintegration in the Nether Spring,
and enters the Underworld River before the soul disintegrates completely, there is a chance for the True Spirit to breed into a Soul Body.
However, if the Soul Ghost’s life span is ending, even if it enters the Underworld River, it’s unlikely that the True Spirit can breed into a Soul Body again, and it would probably drift with the flow and slowly vanish.
...
But with some luck, the True Spirit may merge with some strange entity in the Underworld River and thus foster spirituality, reincarnating as some kind of ghostly being, to redevelop the True Spirit, much like the ‘Flower of the Other Shore’ in the river, but in that case…”
“In that case, it wouldn’t really be the same person as before.”
Chen Dengming had been mentally prepared, but still couldn’t help but say, “If that’s the case, you didn’t need to report it to me.
Since you’ve reported it, what else have you discovered?”
“Hehehe, worthy of Brother Chen.”
Ghost Old Zhu laughed, “Because this subordinate ghost, at the time, had seen a speck of True Spirit drift out from the mouth of the Nether Spring of the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch, and eventually it entered the Underworld River.
This big-headed ghost once went to track it but found no trace…”
“Hmm?” Chen Dengming’s heart gave a jolt.
Ghost Zhu Xun explained, “This big-headed ghost was originally bred by the river in the Underworld, one of the lowest-ranked Ghost Officials, patrolling the river for a long time.
I demanded him from the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch, so he’s quite clear about the happenings of the Underworld River.
Above the Nether Spring, it’s rare for souls from the Mortal World to appear.
Therefore, when a speck of True Spirit drifted in over twenty years ago, this big-headed ghost was the first to observe it…”
“But as he said, Xu Wei’s situation is likely more perilous than promising.
The best outcome would be her becoming one of the beings within the Underworld River.”
“That’s correct, but there may still be a glimmer of hope.
Especially since our little ancestor’s soul fragment is also within the Underworld River right now.
At least, the Soul Power guidance given to me by the little ancestor points that way, and I’m planning to explore the Underworld River first…”
“It seems the Underworld River truly is the life-giving mother river for ghostly beings; the clues you’ve found are all linked to it.
Go ahead!”
Chen Dengming slowly calmed down.
For many matters, one can only do their best and leave the rest to fate.
Even if the result at hand is like this, it’s still better than no result at all, always guessing without clarity in one’s heart.
To cultivate immortality is to refine the heart; one must possess the courage to confront harsh truths.
After concluding his communication with Ghost Zhu Xun.
Chen Dengming observed the state of other lanterns within the Hall of Human Heart.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
This included the Heartfire status of Daoist Artifacts like Eastern Huayuan, Ancestor Lu Xiucheng, Yongxin Sword Sovereign, and Qu Shenzong.
However, for these Deity Transformation Dao Lords, he merely observed from a distance without daring to probe with his Mind Power.
Once, he had luckily taken advantage of the Hall of Human Heart Daoist Artifact to pull a fast one on the Blood God.
But the Blood God was, after all, severely injured and nearly dead.
Other fully potent Deity Transformations, each mastering different forces of Dao Orthodoxy, may not be able to detect the Hall of Human Heart and trace back through his connection to it.
He was still quite naive and ignorant about the powers of Deity Transformation, utterly unable to fully comprehend them.
“Speaking of Deity Transformations I have encountered, there are Venerable Mingguang, the Ghost King of the Netherworld, and the Outer Domain Devil Lord…
yet the Heartfire status of none of them is displayed inside the Hall of Human Heart…”
Chen Dengming began to form some speculations in his mind.
All these Deity Transformations not represented by Heartfire had one thing in common, which is that he had only encountered their avatars or split souls, not the actual person.
Perhaps one needs to have met the original being for their Heartfire to be revealed in the Hall of Human Heart.
Looking at the stable Heartfire states of the many Deity Transformation Dao Lords currently, the battle between the two sides might still be relatively peaceful for now.
Chen Dengming also specifically looked for the Heartfire of the Beiyin Holy Mother to observe.
He found that the state of this Holy Mother’s Heartfire was also tending to be peaceful, temporarily leaving no opportunity to covertly strike at this mortal enemy.
However, among the many lantern-like presences, he quickly identified an unexpectedly surprising character in a very remote corner—Soul Devouring Old Demon.
“This old guy really knows how to survive…
His physical body was left inside Senluo’s main body, and his Nascent Soul fled.
He’s still alive now, which seems to be a success in reforging through possession?”
Chen Dengming became intrigued.
Observing through the brightness of the Heartfire, the state of this Soul Devouring Old Demon was not particularly good.
Perhaps it was the sequelae of reforging through possession, or his Nascent Soul might even be in a dormant state, in deep cultivation.
In such a state, even if he were to invade his spirit, the other party might not be able to detect him.
“Let’s see where this old demon is hiding…
If he’s within the Demon Sect’s headquarters, perhaps I can imperceptibly observe the situation from his perspective and steal some intelligence…”
Chen Dengming’s eyes surged with the silver brilliance of Human Immortal Dao force, like two beams of light invading the Heartfire within the opposite lantern.
This Heartfire immediately started to tremble slightly.
…
In the Western Region, within the Sky Demon Sect.
A towering tower stood amidst the mountains and forests, its surroundings covered with moss, the brickstone dust trailing down from top to bottom, making it seem long abandoned.
The place was lush with green grass, the ancient trees were verdant, and several bats flapped their wings in the shadows, skimming through the air.
Despite being daylight, it felt gloomy and sinister.
A tall and mighty young figure was sitting bare-chested inside the tower, immersed in a pool of dark, blood-scented liquid, his body emanated a chilling Demonic Qi.
All of a sudden, his eyebrows, sharp as blades, furrowed slightly as he vaguely sensed that someone seemed to be secretly peering at him and that a Divine Thought was attempting to intrude upon his spirit.
“Hmm?
Who’s there?”
He swiftly focused his will, fortifying his spirit.
Inside his Dantian, a Nascent Soul with an aged face but youthful body also twitched slightly, as its eyes opened a fraction.
Just then, the feeling of being stealthily investigated and invaded weirdly faded and disappeared.
The young man opened his eyes, a deep purple light flashing in his pupils as he looked around, his Divine Sense spreading out to search, confused and uncertain.
“I’ve reached an agreement with the Heavenly Demon and have been hiding here for cultivation, without even returning to the Sect.
Who is playing this joke, choosing to probe me specifically in the Sky Demon Sect?”
Meanwhile.
Inside the Hall of Human Heart.
Chen Dengming furrowed his brows and withdrew the Human Immortal Dao force, thinking that the Soul Devouring Old Demon, an Ancestor at manipulating the Divine Spirit, also had profound mastery in the realm of Mind & Divine Sense.
Despite his downfall, he could still detect the invasion of his spirit.
However, the other party wasn’t able to keenly capture his Mind Power; he could come and go freely, proving that the other party’s condition was still quite poor.
Once he had refined a portion of the numerous Human Immortal Daoist Scripts he absorbed, his Soul Power would certainly increase.
By then, invading the old demon’s spirit again, he might achieve it without anyone noticing.
“From that quick glance just now, it seems that this old demon is indeed at some Demon Cult, could it be the Soul Devouring Sect?”
Reflecting and pondering, Chen Dengming remained vigilant.
This old demon was very important; in the future, once his cultivation in spirit improved, he could possibly serve as his mobile eye, secretly monitoring and observing the actions of the Demon Cults and even those of the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators.
The prerequisite being that his cultivation improvement in spirit was faster than the recovery speed of the old demon’s reforging…
