Late at night.
Shi Yan woke up from the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success. His Soul Consciousness was damaged badly, and he was exhausted. However, his eyes were strangely bright.
The Original Soul Pellets were used up.
The recovery of his Soul Consciousness had to slow down. He had a deep understanding of the Teleportation Formation in the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success.
He had a premonition that after three or four more times, he would be able to master the technique of building the Teleportation Formation.
However, without the Original Soul Pellets, it would take a lot of time and energy to recover his Soul Consciousness in a short time.
It wasn't a solution.
While he was thinking, he frowned, trying to find a way to strengthen his Soul Consciousness or to recover faster. The items in the Blood Vein Ring and the Fantasy Sky Ring were rummaged, trying to find a solution.
A bead as black as ink suddenly reflected in his eyes!
That bead was pitch-black and sparkling with black light. Faint soul fluctuations could be sensed from it.
Shi Yan's eyes brightened, his face excited.
Soul Gathering Bead!
This bead was the Demon Crystal of the Soul Devouring Beast, which could absorb the soul energy and transform it into pure soul energy.
Soul energy was the energy of the Soul Consciousness.
He remembered clearly that he had used the soul energy of the Soul Gathering Bead to form the Sea of Consciousness when he was at the Earth Realm, which gave him the ability to observe the creatures around.
The Soul Gathering Bead was damaged before, and it couldn't be repaired.
However, according to the Ice Cold Flame, the Immortal Martial Spirit produced the Immortal Blood, which could restore items.
Today, the Immortal Blood had been formed in his body. He had also comprehended the mysteries of the Immortal Rebirth Secret through the Immortal Sacred Texts. He knew how to use the Immortal Blood to restore the damaged items.
As long as the Soul Gathering Bead was repaired, he could use it to gather the soul energy the next time he fought with someone, creating pure soul energy to supplement his Sea of Consciousness.
Ha!
Shi Yan couldn't help but smile happily. If he had thought of the Soul Gathering Bead earlier, he wouldn't have needed the Soul Restoring Pellets and the Original Soul Pellets. With the soul energy produced by the Soul Gathering Bead, when his Soul Consciousness was damaged, it could recover fast, and it could also expand his Sea of Consciousness.
The Soul Gathering Pearl slowly floated out of the Storage Ring, falling into his palm. His Soul Consciousness flickered, and the tip of his left index finger suddenly cracked. A drop of ruby red blood, sparkling with a red halo, dripped from his finger, accurately attaching to the Soul Gathering Pearl.
The Immortal Rebirth Secret was urged. His blood boiled, and his Essence Qi rolled like a spring.
The Profound Qi seeped into the Soul Gathering Pearl, and the Soul Gathering Pearl suddenly lit up. The black light constantly flickered, and that drop of Immortal Blood seemed to become some kind of viscous liquid, moving quickly in the damaged area of the Soul Gathering Pearl.
Secretly spreading out his soul consciousness, wisps of his soul consciousness drilled into the Soul Gathering Pearl, constantly adjusting the trajectory of the Profound Qi and concentrating it on the damaged parts of the Soul Gathering Pearl.
Something marvelous happened …
With the help of that drop of Immortal Blood, the damaged part of the Soul Gathering Pearl was mended. The Immortal Blood became the source of energy to mend the Soul Gathering Pearl, making it change magically.
The feeling of blood connection came from the Soul Gathering Pearl. Shi Yan was struck.
It worked.
With a happy face, Shi Yan concentrated his spirit, Qi, and Soul. Using the Immortal Rebirth Secret as the guide, his blood and Essence Qi as the vessels, he poured them into the Soul Gathering Pearl to mend the damaged part.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound came from the Soul Gathering Pearl, and a strange suction force suddenly rippled out from the pearl.
Shi Yan's host soul shivered, as if it was pulled by some kind of rope. It wanted to leave the Sea of Consciousness and enter the Soul Gathering Pearl.
Done!
Laughing crazily, Shi Yan stood up, his face happy. He held the Soul Gathering Pearl, feeling the magical energy fluctuation. The problem that had troubled him for a long time was solved just like that.
The Soul Gathering Pearl had been refined and repaired by the Immortal Blood. The Soul Gathering Pearl and Shi Yan seemed to have become one. The soul suction force from the pearl gradually lost its effect on Shi Yan.
After a while, the light in the Soul Gathering Pearl gradually disappeared. Waves of soul suction force rippled from the inside.
Shi Yan was so excited. He didn't care that his Soul Consciousness hadn't recovered yet. He pushed the stone door open and observed the surroundings.
It was a dark night with no moon or stars. It was like a massive black cloth covering the entire sky.
The starlight pierced through the layers of dark clouds and poured into his body. The stars in his heart were shining brightly, absorbing the power of the stars to its heart's content.
He needed to find prey …
Shi Yan thought that the Soul Gathering Pearl couldn't solve the problem immediately. He still needed to find creatures with strong souls to absorb their souls into the Soul Gathering Pearl.
Only when the pearl had the power of the soul could the Soul Gathering Pearl transform it. The thicker the soul energy was, the stronger the transformed power would be.
Releasing his Soul Consciousness, he carefully sensed to find any prey that he could take into the Soul Gathering Pearl.
Three magical life fluctuations came from a barren mountain three hundred miles away. That life fluctuation was sinister and gloomy, giving people a feeling that it wasn't a human being.
Shi Yan's face slightly changed.
It was the dead souls!
Only the soul fluctuations of dead spirits could be so cold and evil. Dead spirits wandered around the mountain range, choosing people to devour. By invading a martial artist's soul, they could increase their own strength or turn the martial artist's soul into a new dead spirit.
The dead souls were the soul creatures. They didn't have a real body, but they were good at invading souls. Although their soul power wasn't the same as human beings, their power was really thick.
Dead souls are dead souls then …
Shi Yan grinned faintly, pulling the War Devil into the Blood Vein Ring. Then, he quietly got out of the cave, flying towards the area where the dead souls fluctuated fiercely.
Fifteen minutes later, Shi Yan arrived at the barren mountain. Following his Soul Consciousness, he found a hidden tree hole.
Three gloomy green, short-legged creatures were there. Their bodies were like toad skin, full of wrinkles and disgusting granules. Cold light shot out from their cold, green eyes that could scare people.
Shi Yan was frightened.
Not a hollow body!
The three dead souls he had sensed had a real body! Although their bodies were ugly, they gave people a dangerous, evil feeling.
The three dead souls also found him. Three ear-piercing screeches arose. The three dead souls with real bodies were like three sharp, cold sabers, thrusting towards him. Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! The wrinkles on the three dead souls tightened. Their ugly bodies became as hard as green iron!
Sharp claws jutted out from their short, ugly hands, which looked like sharp, green swords.
Shi Yan's face was solemn. He immediately used the Dark Light Shield, urged his Essence Qi, and urged the negative energy from his acupuncture points.
The soul power of the three dead souls wasn't strong, but the power of their bodies was like a long spear that could pierce through the sky.
He could confirm that the soul power in the heads of these three dead souls was the same as the one he and Cherry had encountered. They were the weaker kind of dead souls.
However, after these three dead souls had a real body, their power had increased a lot. The evil energy in their gloomy green bodies could be compared to the energy of a Sky Realm warrior.
The dead souls were good at eroding souls, which meant that these three dead souls with real bodies could surpass the ordinary Sky Realm warriors.
The three strange soul movements were like three surging soul tides, carrying a brutal thought that ran directly into Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness.
Shi Yan reacted timely. His host soul immediately released the burning flame of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, sweeping away the evil energy invading his Sea of Consciousness.
Rumble Rumble Rumble!
As the three dead souls pounded on his chest, Shi Yan felt like he was hit by a giant hammer. His body was flung away.
The muscles in his chest were sore and numb. The three flows of evil energy seemed to be made of countless germs, expanding rapidly in his body, eroding all the functions in his body!
Shortly, his bones, flesh, and tendons were occupied by the evil energy. The numb and cold energy filled his entire body.
He couldn't condense his Essence Qi! His tendons and meridians were blocked, and the vitality in his body was drained fast. His power was restrained largely.
Shi Yan discolored in fright. He hurried to urge the Immortal Rebirth Secret.
As soon as the Immortal Rebirth Secret was activated, the Essence Qi in his body didn't pass through the tendons and meridians, but directly poured into his blood. His blood was the channel to fill his entire body.
At the same time, the strange energy in his body burst out. While his body was shivering, his muscles swelled and then shrank.
Countless electric currents crossed his body at the speed of light. The evil energy from the dead souls that had infiltrated his body was flushed out quickly.
Beams of gloomy green smoke were discharged from his pores. His entire body relaxed, and his tendons and meridians were unobstructed again.
Shivering inwardly, Shi Yan didn't hesitate to take out the Soul Gathering Pearl, urging the energy of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame in his host soul. Clusters of flames flew out from his pupils, covering the three dead souls. Sizzle! Sizzle!
Sizzle!
The bodies of the three dead souls weren't damaged, but their gloomy green eyes suddenly burned.
Their struggling will was pierced through by Shi Yan's mental power, covered by the deadly magnetic field. Gradually, they vanished.
When the will of the three dead souls was erased, three flows of green light flew out from their pupils. The Soul Gathering Pearl absorbed them directly.
The three green threads glowed like gossamer in the Soul Gathering Pearl, then were slowly refined.
Shi Yan's face was cold. He exhaled deeply, his eyes cold.
The Soul Gathering Pearl had collected the souls of the three dead souls, but he wasn't happy at all. After the dead souls had a real body, they were much more intimidating than he had imagined. If he hadn't reacted fast enough, and if he didn't have the supernatural power, he would have been subdued by these three dead souls.
And, these three dead souls weren't strong at all!
If they were high-level dead souls, wouldn't they be more intimidating?
There were many dead souls in the Dead Soul Mountain range, and they had a kind of ethereal body that even the Spirit Realm warriors couldn't do anything about. Once this kind of existence had a real body, how intimidating would it be?
While he was contemplating restlessly, he didn't notice that a dead soul's evil lair was slowly moving in a dark shadow on the South side of the barren mountain. Its speed was getting faster and faster, flying towards him.
Dead souls were entrenched at the entrance of the evil lair. They looked like countless demons baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. The soul-devouring power surged crazily.
