The ghost trees were like a forest, and the charming spirits were everywhere.
This was a haunted forest.
However, Yang Wu's group was able to pass through this place easily. A large part of the reason was because of Yang Tian Lin's existence. He knew where the Ghost Trees' weakness was and where the Charming Spirits' weakness was. He taught the rest of the Yang Family how to kill these Ghost Trees and Charming Spirits.
Yang Tian Lin was worthy of being the Yang Family's hidden evildoer for many years. He also had some skills. If it wasn't for Yang Wu's existence, he would be the leader without a doubt.
Yang Tianlin's attacks were simple and precise, often able to kill with a single strike. Moreover, he was still collecting the roots of the ghost tree. Although the roots contained ghost qi, the essence of the plants was a great supplement to the Azure lineage.
Yang Wu didn't attack, but something flew out of his body. It was the sacred mandala flower.
No one could sense its existence. She was an evil plant, and so were the ghost trees. They were a supplement to her.
She and Yang Wu left, and she devoured many places that the Yang family had neglected.
Yang Wu asked, "You just devoured a Water Snake Vine not long ago. Did your strength increase?"
The Water Snake Vine was a sacred item, and it contained even more energy essence.
"Of course. If you could form an equal contract with me, I would've reached mid-level Saint," the flower replied.
"Haha, don't think about it for now." Yang Wu smiled faintly.
The flower didn't dwell on this topic with Yang Wu. Wherever it went, large numbers of ghost trees withered and died. They didn't even have a chance to escape. The Yang family didn't notice this shocking situation.
At the same time, Yang Wu tried to use the Soul Control Sutra to absorb the soul power of the charming spirits he'd defeated. Charming spirits were natural souls, and they were creatures that replenished souls.
When he channeled the Soul-Mastery Sutra, the scattered soul force surged toward him and entered his Divine Court Dao Flower, nourishing it bit by bit.
"It's really effective!" Yang Wu thought to himself.
Yang Wu tried many times and proved that he could absorb the soul power. He said to everyone present, "The soul power of the Charming Spirits can be absorbed. Why don't you try and see if you can strengthen your soul power?"
Everyone turned back to look at Yang Wu, their eyes revealing a strange look. Yang Yifan opened his mouth, "Young Clan Leader, you are an alchemist and possess a high-level cultivation method for cultivating the soul. Our Yang Clan does not."
Yang Chenlong added, "Soul techniques are extremely precious. Our Yang Clan only has a Heaven Grade Soul Technique. After reaching the Dragon Transformation Realm, it doesn't have much meaning anymore."
"Why don't Young Clan Leader impart us a soul cultivation technique?" Someone boldly suggested.
"How can soul techniques be randomly passed down? Those are all secrets that cannot be passed down." Someone reprimanded.
Yang Wu realized that his question was too abrupt.
He pondered for a moment before saying, "I can teach you a soul technique, but I can only teach you a part of it. It won't be a problem to help you strengthen your soul, but you have to swear that you won't teach it to anyone else."
Everyone's eyes instantly lit up.
Yang Manfan said, "Forget it. Young Clan Leader, you have done enough for us. Soul techniques are extremely important, so you can't casually teach it to anyone else."
She wholeheartedly supported Yang Wu, so she naturally didn't wish for Yang Wu's secret technique to be learned by others. What if someone had evil intentions?
Yang Wu waved his hand and said, "As long as you all swear an oath, I can teach it to you all."
Yang Wu wasn't afraid of others teaching it to others. In any case, he would only teach a third of it. The 《Soul Control Heart Sutra》 was different from other soul cultivation methods. It was a top grade soul cultivation method. Even if it was a third of it, it was enough for everyone present to benefit greatly.
Since he was already the Young Clan Leader, he felt that it was necessary to lead everyone to become stronger.
Other than Yang Tianlin, everyone present swore that they wouldn't teach the cultivation method that Yang Wu taught them.
Yang Tianlin was an arrogant person. He didn't want to become Yang Wu's subordinate. In his heart, he still wanted to prove himself through the battle between dragons and phoenixes and quickly reach the Star Rune Realm. Only then could he suppress Yang Wu.
"Become a saint as soon as possible!" Yang Tianlin secretly said in his heart.
The difference between a Small Saint and a True Saint was like heaven and earth. Some people wouldn't be able to cross this hurdle in their entire lives. Some people, by chance, easily stepped through that door and became a dragon that rode the wind to the nine heavens, becoming a person above others.
Yang Tianlin admitted that he wasn't as good as Yang Wu right now, but once he became a saint, he was confident that he could surpass Yang Wu.
Surpassing Yang Wu was only one of his small goals. He had an even bigger goal. The Jade Moon Realm was his ultimate goal.
It had to be said that Yang Tianlin was an extremely ambitious person.
Yang Wu didn't force Yang Tianlin. He could feel a different light in the other's eyes. Perhaps he could become an overlord in the future. No matter what, it was fine as long as they were a family. If there was division or infighting, then don't blame him for being rude.
After Yang Wu imparted one-third of the Soul Control Sutra, he also imparted some of the Yang Clan's union techniques and some cultivation battle techniques. These were all his gains after awakening his bloodline. In addition, he also received the consciousness of the Yang Clan's ancestors in the God of War Pagoda. It wouldn't be difficult for him to train the people of the Black Tortoise bloodline.
Yang Yifan, Yang Manmi, and the others humbly accepted Yang Wu's teachings. This was very important to their future growth.
Yang Wu and the others stayed in this ghostly forest for seven days. During these seven days, everyone had gained a lot. Everyone was able to kill Charming Spirits and absorb their soul power. Their souls were strengthened, which was very important to them.
If any martial artist wanted to increase their cultivation level, besides accumulating enough energy in their dantian, their soul power also had to be compatible. This made it easier to break through.
Yang Wu also found a Soul Spring here. There were many Charming Spirits guarding it. Moreover, there were Charming Spirits that had reached the Saint Realm and developed intelligence. They had the ability to control the souls of living creatures. They weren't any weaker than the Illusory Demon.
Yang Wu had the Blue Enchantress, which was a saint flame. It was the nemesis of these evil beings. Even a Saint-level Charming Spirit couldn't withstand its burning. The Saint-level Charming Spirit fled in fear.
Yang Wu didn't want to let it go. His battle soul rushed out of the Divine Court Dao Flower and used pure soul power to suppress this Charming Spirit.
When Yang Wu absorbed the Saint-level Charming Spirit's soul power, the Divine Court Dao Flower grew stronger. His soul power increased tremendously. He couldn't help but sigh. "If I had the Soul Suppressing Gourd with me, I could collect all the Charming Spirits here. It would definitely help my soul become stronger."
Yang Wu suppressed this impulse. He collected the Soul Spring and gave everyone a share. The Soul Flowers and Soul Grass were also taken by him. The others didn't take a single one.
After all, Yang Wu had already taught them the Soul Control Heart Sutra. They were already indebted to him. If he gave them the Soul Flowers and Soul Grass, they wouldn't be able to accept it.
Yang Wu didn't bicker with them. He took them all. He was an alchemist. These herbs could only be used to their fullest potential in his hands.
After taking care of the Ghost Forest, Yang Wu and the others continued on their way at full speed.
Along the way, they encountered another group of ferocious beasts. This time, there were three thousand of them. However, the Yang Clan members were no longer afraid of these ferocious beasts. Under Lu Zhi's command, they formed a formation and charged forward.
This formation had been set up by Lu Zhi. With Yang Yifan, Yang Manmi, and a few others as the core, and the others as support, it had both attack and defense. It was very powerful.
With the power of this formation, everyone's fighting power was maximized. They killed the beasts until they were completely defeated.
Everyone's gaze towards Lu Zhi changed as they exclaimed in their hearts, "Young Patriarch's Imperial Military Advisor is really strong."
Yang Wu was proud of Lu Zhi. With such an advisor, he wouldn't have to worry about anything in the future.
At this time, he thought of another advisor, Pang Yuan.
Pang Yuan was also a resourceful person. It was just that he was a little ugly. His cultivation talent was also inferior to Lu Zhi's. He had also been brought to the Transcendent World with Xue Ji and the others. He was clearly not used to it and became very low-key. Other than reading various books about the Transcendent World every day, he didn't interact much with others. Yang Wu had a short conversation with him. He said, "Only by understanding everything about the Transcendent World can I help you in the future. My Lord, please don't worry about me for now."
Just like this, Yang Wu let Pang Yuan do whatever he wanted.
In any case, he left some cultivation resources for Pang Yuan. He also told the clansmen to take care of Pang Yuan. As for whether Pang Yuan could pull himself together, it would depend on his luck.
With Lu Zhi in front, Pang Yuan's presence was much weaker.
On the fifteenth day, Yang Wu's group finally passed through this large wasteland and stepped into the border of Northern Hubei.
Everyone in their group was injured. The most miserable one had one of his arms bitten off by a vicious beast. He almost died.
Fortunately, he was able to stand up again under Yang Wu's care. He didn't feel depressed because he lost an arm. Instead, he completely accepted life and death. His strength suddenly rose from the high level Dragon Transformation Realm to the top level Dragon Transformation Realm. This Yang Family member was called Yang Liyi.
Yang Wu didn't expect Yang Liyi's willpower to be so impressive. He wanted to train him for a while before giving him a bone growing pill. Now that he had a broken arm, he could even reach a higher level. This stimulated the others to cultivate as if their lives depended on it.
In a short fifteen days, everyone had an incomparably sharp aura. No matter who met them, they would feel a sense of fear before the battle. The killing intent on their bodies was too thick.
Yang Wu had also improved by quite a bit. His opponents were usually the most powerful creatures, and he had gained a lot from fighting with them. There was once when he encountered two Saint level creatures at the same time, and he was almost beaten to a pulp. At the crucial moment, he had to use all of his trump cards, and only then did he win with great difficulty.
At first, everyone was worried that Yang Wu's injuries were too severe. They were afraid that he would leave behind trouble in the future. After all, the battle between the dragons and the phoenixes was about to begin. It was best to be in peak condition. Only then would they be able to obtain a good ranking. Later, when they saw Yang Wu's abnormal recovery speed, they realized that their worries were unnecessary.
"This is a bone growing pill. Take it." Yang Wu tossed a saint pill to Yang Liyi.
