After helping the Netherworld Boy reconstruct his body, how to deal with his original body was a very troublesome matter. After the Netherworld Boy cut up his soul and washed it with First Yuan Primordial Water, he fused it back into his new body.
It was all thanks to Yi Tian's help that the Netherworld Boy was able to get rid of Ning Kuang's original body so easily. Afterwards, Yi Tian hinted for the Netherworld Boy to deal with the original body himself.
Although Wan Gang, Yan Qiu, and Shi Jinming didn't know much about this, they didn't dare to say anything when they saw Yi Tian's serious expression.
In fact, his intentions were very clear. They couldn't let the Netherworld Boy join them for no reason. In the past, bandits had to show their allegiance when they joined a group.
As such, he had the Netherworld Boy personally kill Ning Kuang's soul fragment. Although Ning Kuang's original body wouldn't be able to find out what happened in the Celestial Realm fragment, Ning Kuang would be able to trace it back to the Netherworld Boy once everyone returned to the Nether Realm.
With four witnesses, the Netherworld Boy wouldn't be able to turn the tables even if he wanted to.
He was clearly aware of this. Although everyone had said that they wanted to rope him in, he still hadn't gained the trust of the other three.
At this point, the Netherworld Boy had no choice but to make a move. He used the Netherworld Primordial Fire and forcefully dragged Ning Kuang's soul fragment out of his body. Then, he used the Netherworld Primordial Fire to incinerate the soul fragment.
Ning Kuang's soul fragment's heart-wrenching screams came from within the Netherworld Primordial Fire, but the Netherworld Boy remained unmoved. With that in mind, he continued to make hand seals to incinerate the Netherworld Primordial Fire. Ning Kuang's soul fragment screamed in the Netherworld Primordial Fire for a long while before finally stopping.
Originally, the spiritual Qi contained within the Soul Remnant was quite dense, but at this point, no one dared to rashly absorb it. Ning Kuang was most proficient in the Dao of the Soul, so it was best to burn it alive in order to avoid leaving behind endless troubles. Furthermore, the fact that the Netherworld Boy was trying his best in front of the four of them was also a way to express his attitude.
After dealing with the soul fragment, the Netherworld Boy returned to his senses and looked at the body fragment on the ground. At this moment, there was no life force in the body. This short body had imprisoned the Netherworld Boy's soul for thousands of years. Although he had rebuilt his fleshly body, he couldn't help but feel pity for this body when he looked back at it.
Yan Qiu, on the other hand, of the Netherworld Primordial Fire. After a while, the Netherworld Boy stretched out his hand, and a black demonic light slashed down on the old body's forehead. Netherworld Primordial Fire, the Netherworld Primordial Spirit's soul, with the Netherworld Primordial Soul fragment, the Netherworld Primordial Netherworld's's soul fragment.
.... with Netherworld Primordial Fire, with Netherworld Netherworld Primordial Netherworld Nether' s's s s.... the body with with with the body body 'Netherworld Netherworld Netherworld Nether''s... to' Netherworld Netherworld Primordial Fire. Even so, the Netherworld Primordial Netherworld Primordial Spirit's soul fragment couldn't be cut open. It could be seen that Ning Kuang had put in a lot of effort to refine this body.
Yi Tian's Divine Sense swept over the body, and his expression changed slightly. He quickly said, "Netherworld Boy, please wait a moment."
"What, Brother Yi, do you want to do it for me?" The Netherworld Boy asked in confusion.
Yi Tian shook his head and said, "There seems to be a lot of inscriptions in the Niwan Palace. Let me take a look first."
The Netherworld Boy's expression changed slightly. His soul had been in the Niwan Palace for a long time, but he had never seen any inscriptions. However, he believed Yi Tian's words without a doubt. He stretched out his hand and turned the polished sword into a blade. He then used it to pry open the Niwan Gong on the head of the body.
Yi Tian walked forward, and a purple light flashed in his eyes as he began to size it up. He saw that the Niwan Palace was a mess of flesh and blood. There seemed to be no inscriptions left.
Wan Gang and the others also hurriedly gathered around. Their divine senses simultaneously extended into the head of the body in front of them. After sweeping back and forth a few times, their faces revealed suspicious expressions. After a short while, Shi Jinming asked, "Is there a mistake? The Niwan Palace is a mess of flesh and blood. How can there be inscriptions left?"
Yi Tian's expression turned solemn. He took out a water pouch and drew out a stream of clear spring water to wash the Niwan Palace. After three breaths of time, the blood was washed clean. He took out a bottle of rune ink and held it in his hand. After pulling out a strand, he slowly used it to apply a thin layer on the inner wall of the Niwan Palace.
After doing this, Yi Tian formed a seal with his hands and muttered, "Appear!" The spirit light in his hand landed on the inner wall of the Niwan Palace. In an instant, dense and small words appeared on the wall.
Purple light flashed in Yi Tian's eyes. He used the Heavenly Demon Eye Technique to memorize the inscriptions on the Niwan Palace's inner wall. After ten breaths of time, he went through all the inscriptions. At the same time, he sighed and said, "Sure enough, Ning Kuang had left a backup plan when he refined this body."
The Netherworld Boy's expression stiffened and he hurriedly asked, "What is the use of the inscriptions?"
"This is the 'Soul Capture Curse'," Yi Tian said indifferently. He then turned to look at the Netherworld Boy in front of him and said with a smile, "You are lucky to have escaped the surveillance of Ning Kuang's remnant soul. If you were in the Nether Realm, if there were any changes in your Niwan Palace, it would activate the 'Soul Capture Curse' and let the main soul know your every move. "
Speaking of this, the Netherworld Boy's expression became extremely ugly. The meaning of Yi Tian's words could not be more obvious. Anyone with a brain would be able to tell, let alone someone like the Netherworld Boy who had lived for thousands of years.
Ignoring his reaction, Yi Tian continued to explain, "Actually, this isn't the strongest part of the 'Soul Capturing Curse'. Anyone who has been affected by this curse will become a puppet without any consciousness once activated by the main body. They can block any attack for the main body. Speaking of which, they are just abandoned pawns. "
"Alright, I understand." The Netherworld Boy's face was ashen. At this moment, there was a faint trace of anger on his face. Fortunately, he was able to maintain his composure and did not explode on the spot.
On the side, Wan Gang asked, "Then why would Ning Kuang place such a direct inscription on the Netherworld Boy's body?"
"Usually, it's because they are afraid that their own Soul power will be damaged, so they leave a backup plan." Yi Tian thought for a moment before replying, "Even if I want to refine a doppelganger, I usually won't do this because only when the Soul power is extremely weak will the doppelganger have a chance to turn the tables. However, with this insurance, it will be foolproof."
As he spoke, Yi Tian seemed to have sensed something wrong. He raised his head to look at the Netherworld Boy and hurriedly asked, "Do you know that not long after, your contact with the main body will become intermittent?"
The Netherworld Boy saw that Yi Tian had suddenly asked a question with an extremely serious expression, so he naturally knew what was at stake. He thought for a moment before replying, "I have had this feeling several times in the past, but at that time, my Divine Sense would be suppressed by an invisible force. I think it should be the 'Soul Capture Curse'. "
"That is indeed the case. This explanation makes sense," Yi Tian said.
"This feeling used to happen once every thousand years, but it has become increasingly frequent. The last few times it has happened, it has been around three or four hundred years," the Netherworld Boy said after thinking for a moment.
"Three or four hundred years, huh?" Yi Tian sighed. His eyes grew deeper and deeper, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
The three people who were listening by the side also saw Yi Tian's performance. They naturally realized that there were many problems in their hearts. Among them, Shi Jinming asked, "What does this mean?"
"This means that Ning Kuang's main body has been constantly devouring the scattered souls in this period of time. Every time the 'Soul Capture Curse' in the Netherworld Boy's Niwan Palace activates, it is the most critical moment for Ning Kuang's main body to absorb the scattered souls," Yi Tian said with an exasperated look.
"In that case, this should be the time when Ning Kuang's main body is at its weakest, right?" Shi Jinming replied casually.
"Fellow Shi is correct. In that case, this is the best time for us to deal with Ning Kuang," the Netherworld Boy said after thinking for a moment.
"That's right, but this opportunity is hard to come by," Yi Tian said with a wave of his hand, "In my opinion, he won't be at his weakest for much longer, unless."
"Unless he has completely absorbed the soul of our Yellow Spring Clan's ancestor, Yan Wenjing," Yan Qiu said with an unsightly expression, "I think Ning Kuang's main soul has already absorbed enough scattered souls, but there is no ancestor Yan Wenjing that he has no choice but to take seriously."
"Fellow Yan is correct," Yi Tian said with a sigh, "Senior Yan Wenjing has lived a miserable life for the past ten thousand years. Why would the Balance and Ning Kuang forces place themselves in a special container to slow down the loss of their lifespan? However, this is not a long-term solution. One day, his lifespan will run out, or Ning Kuang's strength will increase to a certain level and he will be able to completely suppress Yan Wenjing. "
"I reckon that time is about to come," Yan Qiu said with a deep meaning: "Before I entered the Immortal Realm fragment, I went to see my ancestor. He told me that he doesn't have much lifespan left, so I'm guessing that Ning Kuang will make his move within the next hundred years"
"Then can we take advantage of Ning Kuang's weakest moment to kill him after he succeeds?" Wan Gang asked.
"Ning Kuang's weakened state won't last for very long. I estimate it to be two hours at most," Yi Tian said, "Furthermore, if his cultivation base has reached the early Grand Ascension Stage, then he will be at least as strong as a late Body Integration Stage cultivator. It won't be easy to take advantage of this opportunity to kill him. Don't forget that he's hiding in the unknown underground area of the Nether Capital. Just finding his tracks isn't that simple. "
Hearing this, the Netherworld Child said, "You can leave the search for Ning Kuang's true body to me. Although I know that he has at least three or four hiding places, he definitely won't appear outside of those places."
Yi Tian nodded and said, "Then that's easy. I'll leave the search for Ning Kuang to you, Fellow Daoist."
After saying this, he turned his gaze to the body and began to examine it. After ten breaths of time, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. The four of them could see clearly that Yi Tian had discovered something. In the end, it was the Netherworld Child who asked, "Brother Yi, did you discover anything else strange about this body?"
"Ning Kuang should have obtained part of the Allheaven Immortal Palace's inheritance. There are many obvious marks on this body, so it should have been refined from a part of Ning Kuang's true body. However, I don't know why he would do this." Yi Tian thought for a moment before replying, "Logically speaking, refining an avatar doesn't require any flesh or bones, but I can clearly sense traces of flesh and blood left behind by Ning Kuang's true body on this body. Or perhaps he did this in order to maintain the Netherworld Child's avatar's strength to the greatest extent. "
"I don't think so." The Netherworld Child shook his head and said, "From what I know of him, he's not the kind of person who would make a loss. Moreover, according to what Brother Yi said, Ning Kuang used a part of his true body to refine my old body. That's also a part of my body that can be cut off. "
Hearing this, a thought flashed through Yi Tian's mind. He recalled the appearance of Ning Kuang's remnant soul and reorganized his understanding of Ning Kuang in his mind. After a while, he sighed softly and said, "Could it be that he's a corpse demon and cultivates a demonic cultivation method that can reconstruct a body? But this kind of cultivation method isn't easy to learn even in the Demon Realm. Moreover, in the entire Demon Realm, only the Great Ascension Stage Demon Saint Tu Luo or the Great Heavenly Demon Dugu Jimo can master this technique. How could it be related to these two people? "
"Speaking of this matter, Brother Yi, I've heard about it." The Netherworld Child said, "According to Ning Kuang, Demon Saint Bao Luo came to the Nether Realm ten thousand years ago. Although I don't know the purpose of his trip, I think it must be directly related to Ning Kuang's true body."
'Nonsense, Demon Saint Bao Luo is the avatar of Martial Uncle Wu Xiang in Allheaven Immortal Palace who fell into the demonic path. The technique he taught Ning Kuang is the Allheaven Immortal Palace's' Harmonious Spirit Regeneration Technique '. Although the method used is improved and changed, I can confirm that it's a supreme technique after seeing the way he refined his avatar.' Yi Tian thought, but his expression didn't change.
Since this matter involved Demon Saint Bao Luo, he had to treat it seriously. Although this' Harmonious Spirit Regeneration Technique 'wasn't a secret cultivation method of the sect, it was still a relatively high level divine ability. Martial Uncle Wu Xiang should have cultivated this technique long ago. That's why he could teach this technique to Ning Kuang. But why would he do this? Thinking of this, Yi Tian felt that the development of this matter wasn't as simple as he thought. If he wanted to uncover the mystery, he would have to confront Ning Kuang or Bao Luo face to face.
