Chapter 381 Divine Soul Technique
Dao Yin also felt helpless, and after much deliberation, he had no choice but to be forced by the situation.
The reason he offered the Soul Cultivation Technique as a reward was twofold: firstly, to protect his own secret.
Secondly, it serves as a warning to the other party that if they harbor ill intentions, I have a divine soul technique to back them up.
Thirdly, if you want to get away as soon as possible, you need to be sincere and have something that will move the other party.
Compared to array formations, secret weapon formulas, or even rare elixir recipes, this soul cultivation technique is undoubtedly the best option.
Just as Dao Yin used a wisp of divine consciousness to imprint the cultivation technique onto the jade slip, the elk impatiently stuck it to his forehead.
"Purple Heaven Divine Soul Technique!"
With this exclamation, the old fox's face instantly lit up like a chrysanthemum, and he hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands, and said with a desire to make acquaintance:
"May I ask your esteemed name, fellow traveler?"
Dao Yin Zhenren pondered for a moment, knowing that the other party must have heard of this soul cultivation technique, and returned the greeting with a cupped hand:
"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. My name is Dao Yin."
"Dao Yin... Dao Yin... Could it be that you are... the former sect leader of the Ice God Palace, Dao Yin Zhenren..."
This old monster, Anxiu, has lived for nearly eight thousand years and is already very old, reaching the critical point of his lifespan in the Nascent Soul stage. As a result, he knows the long and rich history of this Earth Spirit Realm in great detail.
"I never imagined that, a million years later, future generations would still remember this..."
After a moment of reflection, Dao Yin couldn't help but show a look of deep regret.
The mythical beast, Anxiu, deeply understood this and said:
"Mortals are subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death. All things are subject to birth, dwelling, change, and extinction. And these three realms are also subject to formation, dwelling, decay, and emptiness."
Upon hearing this, Dao Yin Zhenren unconsciously agreed and nodded, saying:
"I never expected you to have such enlightenment, fellow Daoist. Compared to the Three Realms, which end in an era after billions of years, this is but a mere million years, which is but a fleeting moment in the vast ocean, a mere blink of an eye."
The mythical beast, though eager to engage in philosophical discussions, was keenly aware of the impending calamity and knew that time was of the essence. It bowed and said:
"Now that demonic energy has appeared in the Yanbo Sea, it is foreseeable that within a few days, the war between immortals and demons will surely engulf the entire Tiannan Sea region. If this is the case, given the current state of your soul, you must make plans as soon as possible."
Dao Yin nodded slightly, already aware of the situation. Otherwise, why would he have been so direct, resorting to using his spiritual cultivation techniques to bribe his way out of trouble?
Of course, Dao Yin understood why the mythical beast had said that, and bowed in farewell, saying:
"I will always remember your kindness in helping me, fellow Daoist. Until we meet again."
The mythical beast immediately rose and respectfully returned the greeting, saying:
"You flatter me, it was just a small favor, nothing to mention."
Dao Yin Zhenren observed this with great satisfaction, and before departing, he remarked:
"Although this spiritual cultivation technique is incomplete, if one can thoroughly comprehend it, it will surely help one break through the shackles."
The mythical beast was overjoyed upon hearing this. Even though Dao Yin had already vanished as the words fell, it still bowed and expressed its gratitude:
"I am deeply grateful for your kind words, Master!"
In reality, if Dao Yin hadn't revealed his name, Anxiu would have made him swear an oath with his Dao heart that the Purple Cloud Divine Soul Technique was genuine before letting him leave on his own.
At the same time, the mythical beast breathed a sigh of relief, its face beaming with undisguised joy.
After all, they already knew this person's identity and background, and they were at the weakest point in his life.
Even if you sincerely want to make friends and kindly try to retain them, it's not ideal if the other party has doubts.
As for whether it was an impersonation, as a powerful figure in the southern seas, although he might not have connections to the highest levels, he was certainly well-informed.
Although I did not visit the Ice God Palace ruins that caused a sensation not long ago, I must have heard about them and know that they are true.
Moreover, with this conch shell serving as an informant and providing clues in the Dragon Soul Ruins, it was enough to prove Ma Liang's suspicious nature.
As the saying goes, you can't see into someone's heart, so the best way is to let them choose whether to stay or leave.
Just as Anxiu guessed, Daoyin knew that a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall, and a wise man does not fall into a collapsed nest.
Now, with only a wisp of his soul remaining, even if he wanted to ask for help, he would inevitably have some reservations.
The best course of action now is to get out of here first, just as as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
Only when Dao Yin, with only a wisp of remnant soul, left the heavily guarded deep-sea palace of the old monster Anxiu without any hindrance did he feel at ease.
It was clear that the mythical beast had already issued a strict order, but even so, Dao Yin still drifted away first, and only after being a certain distance from the deep-sea palace did he find a place to settle down.
In a secluded crevice in the deep sea, Dao Yin, having settled down, decided after careful consideration that his immediate priority was to stabilize his soul and wait for an opportunity to act.
After all, once the war between immortals and demons breaks out in this land of the South China Sea, the casualties will be heavy. At that time, he can take advantage of the chaos to seize a body and be reborn, which will be very rewarding.
While Dao Yin was making the most of the time, he activated the Purple Cloud Divine Soul Technique to stabilize his soul and prepare for the body-seizing.
Knowing that the Tiannan Sea was about to be destroyed, and after learning that Dao Yin had left the palace, the Anxiu strictly ordered all the sea beasts and demons not to inquire about his whereabouts.
Moreover, with the war between immortals and demons about to begin, the place where I am located will inevitably face a great calamity.
At this critical juncture, if the Anxiu, a powerful tyrant in the southern seas, only cared about itself, it could have easily escaped unscathed.
In this way, after the great battle, they will become rootless duckweed, wandering aimlessly in the Three Realms.
Therefore, in order to preserve its foundation, the Xiongxiu had to make plans as soon as possible, and immediately ordered all the sea beasts and demons under its command to gather.
In order to jointly respond to this inevitable war between immortals and demons that will break out in the southern seas, we must work together.
"Rumble..."
With a deafening roar and the earth shaking, the place where the mythical beast resided was a deep-sea palace comparable to a magnificent city.
With the combined efforts of a group of Nascent Soul stage cultivators and above, along with the sea beasts and demons, they sank continuously and were eventually covered by thick rocks.
However, within this deep-sea palace teeming with sea beasts and demons, the lone dragon sea beast did not seek refuge from the ravages of war.
When the busy Anxiu learned of this, he was not surprised and did not investigate further, but continued to command the protective array.
After all, this is a matter of great importance, as it directly relates to whether the sea monster demon race can survive in this war between immortals and demons.
As for why the Anxiu did not lead its people to flee the southern seas to escape the war.
Firstly, it would be difficult to gather hundreds of millions of sea monsters and demons for a large-scale migration in a short period of time.
Secondly, if they were truly a large-scale group, carrying hundreds of millions of sea beasts and demons, they could escape from the South China Sea.
Wherever they go, they will inevitably clash with the already hostile human cultivators, causing unnecessary casualties.
Thirdly, the purpose of this operation is to avoid casualties from the war between immortals and demons; therefore, we should just get through it.
Once the great war ends, even if the land of the South China Sea is devastated, it will still belong to the sea monsters and demons.
Furthermore, it was also to preserve manpower in order to deal with the enemy's covetousness after the great battle.
This shows that this single battle between immortals and demons was nothing short of a catastrophe for the sea monsters and demon race.
The saying "When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer" is no more apt than this.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Of course, given the vastness of the South China Sea and the hundreds of millions of creatures, it is impossible for them all to enter the deep-sea palace and find refuge in a short period of time.
The vast majority of the sea monsters and demons who are able to enter the deep-sea palace have a certain foundation in cultivation.
Conversely, for marine creatures that have not yet developed intelligence, they are left to survive and perish on their own through natural selection.
At the same time, the group of cultivators who emerged from the Dragon Soul Ruins, upon receiving the news, flew away from Tiannan Sea at top speed.
Thus, apart from the seven Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had not yet left, even Nascent Soul stage cultivators like Qingye dared not linger.
With news of waves of sea monsters and demons landing on the continent of Yingzhou, which borders the South China Sea, and the invasion of the Demon Realm, news has arrived.
It spread like wildfire.
At the same time, the Heavenly Gang Seven Fightings Formation, set up with the ion as the array's core, did indeed have a blocking effect.
Even so, traces of demonic energy still seep in, penetrating every nook and cranny, preventing sunlight from reaching us to this day.
It is evident that the demonic cultivators from the demon realm will come with overwhelming force and will not give up until they achieve their goal.
"Little Fire Dragon, how's it going? Has Mo shown any signs of waking up?"
The advantage lies in the fact that due to the invasion of the demon realm, the entire Tiannanhai region has been thrown into chaos.
The little dragon was safe and sound, and after learning the news, it immediately returned.
But the Candle Dragon Spirit Fire that helped it refine the demonic energy was actually like a demonic flame.
Upon inquiry, the Candle Dragon Spirit Flame, still clinging to its jet-black body and emanating wisps of demonic black energy, replied uncertainly:
"It could take several months, or as few days. It all depends on when this kid wakes up from his nightmare."
The little dragon, seeing that Mo Hei's eyes were still tightly closed and his breath barely perceptible, felt a deep sense of helplessness and said:
"If that's the case, we can't completely rely on this kid waking up and telling us what will happen in three days, or how to escape this predicament."
The Candle Dragon Spirit Fire remained silent for a moment, then asked:
"Have you found out any information?"
The little dragon didn't hide anything, only smiled bitterly:
"The demon realm has begun its invasion."
"Oh, is it so?"
After a moment of surprise, the Candle Dragon Spirit Fire suddenly realized:
"No wonder this kid is entangled in demonic energy, trapped in a nightmare, and unconscious?"
The little dragon felt a headache coming on and slumped down beside the stone bed, listlessly saying:
"Just dealing with the powerful cultivators at the Void Immortal stage who are about to descend to the mortal realm is already a challenge. But who would have thought that we would also have to deal with the demonic cultivators from the Demon Realm who are about to invade. Fire Dragon, it seems that we can only pray for the best."
"That's not entirely true."
After a moment of contemplation, the Candle Dragon Spirit Fire said:
"If that's the case, the only chance of survival might be to sneak into the Demon Realm while the Demon cultivators are fighting the Immortal cultivators, and perhaps there will be a turning point."
Upon hearing this, the little dragon, who had transformed into a handsome young man, immediately jumped up and paced back and forth excitedly, saying:
"This method is feasible. It's much better than falling into the hands of a bunch of pseudo-immortals or demonic cultivators, where one would be deprived of freedom and face an uncertain fate."
With the plan decided, Zhulong Spirit Fire decisively said:
"In that case, while the situation is chaotic due to the invasion of the Demon Realm, you should find out where this sea borders the Demon Realm. I will take this opportunity to absorb as much demonic energy as possible so that I can better sneak into the Demon Realm."
