re all Jindan cultivators. They would exchange spirit objects with each other or publicly auction some high-value spirit objects. In the surrounding pavilions or bamboo forests, within a radius of onl...Back in his hiding place, Lu Xia Tian didn't immediately begin. He sat down and adjusted his mind to the most peaceful state possible. This time, it would take a while, as he needed to be fully prepared.

Ge Changting and Xiao Sanniang repeated what they had done before, as usual. A day later, whether it was their mana or their mental state, both returned to their peak condition. Lu Xia Tian started pinching his fingers faster and faster, the speed increasing with each passing moment. Under the concentration of his mana and divine sense, a tiny gray phantom appeared before his eyes again, its face adorned with mysterious and incomprehensible patterns.

If one does not continuously pour magical power into it, the gray phantom will fade and eventually collapse due to the severance of the magical connection. Lu Xia Tian was well aware of this.

As time passed, the gray phantom's form began to solidify, and the patterns on its surface became clearer. At first, Ge Changting and Xiao Sanniang would glance over every so often, but as the power of the Soul Devouring Seal grew stronger, their cultivation base and spiritual sense weakened compared to Lu Xia Tian's. Eventually, they didn't even dare to look in this direction, focusing instead on refining their Yin Sha Fire Essence.

They were in a very secluded cave. Occasionally, one or two zombies would wander into it and be dealt with directly by the two ghost cultivators. However, once, a sixth-level late white zombie broke in, quite powerful. It took the combined efforts of Ge Changting and Xiao Sanniang to barely hold it back. The two were anxious, wanting to call for Lu Xiaottian's help, but Lu Xiaottian had been continuously refining the Soul-Losing Seal for over half a year. Seeing that he was close to success, interrupting him would mean losing all his previous progress. They also worried that if Lu Xiaottian failed and became enraged, he would take it out on them. Just when they were at their wit's end, a golden light flashed, directly severing the white zombie's head and splitting its body in half from behind. Although this sixth-level white zombie was formidable, Ge Changting and Xiao Sanniang had momentarily held it back. The Earth Splitter Knife directly attacked from behind, without much effort, instantly killing the sixth-level white zombie.

Ge Changting and Xiao Sanniang instantly relaxed, glanced at Lu Xiaottian once more, then quickly averted their eyes. Looking at Lu Xiaottian's appearance, he was indeed diligently practicing that strange cultivation method, with a completely absorbed expression. There was no sign of pretense, unexpectedly, he was able to duel while cultivating simultaneously. Fortunately, they had witnessed Lu Xiaottian battling a horde of zombies while controlling puppets, demonstrating his ability to multitask. It seemed he had cultivated the legendary secret art of mental consciousness splitting.

It's not just that the soul splitting is unimaginably painful, but also that even a slight mistake could lead to death and disappearance from existence. It's incredibly dangerous. Ordinary cultivators wouldn't dare practice it lightly. It takes immense willpower and good fortune to succeed. Unexpectedly, this young man in front of them was one such person. The two felt even deeper respect for Lu Xia Tian.

Lu Xia Tian remained seated, not moving an inch for a year and a month. The Soul-Stealing Seal before him, which had initially been the size of a copper coin, gradually grew to encompass several feet, then shrank again and again, this cycle repeating until finally it reached completion.

Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. With a flick of his finger, he took out the Soul-suppressing Bead.

Di Kun's primordial spirit glared angrily at Lu Xiaotian, roaring in rage. This human cultivator not only seriously wounded him but also forced his primordial spirit out and imprisoned it in this ghostly place for a year or so. This was unbearable for Di Kun who had never been confined before, driving him to the brink of madness. Seeing Lu Xiaotian again now, he wished to tear him to shreds. However, deep down, Di Kun also harbored some fear towards Lu Xiaotian, after all, this human cultivator had defeated him in the past.

Lu Xiaotian smiled calmly, ignoring Di Kun's rage. He reached out and opened the restrictions of the Soul Suppressing Bead. Di Kun's primordial spirit was overjoyed and seized the opportunity to escape through the opening, but he collided head-on with the Soul Severing Seal that had been prepared long ago.

Di Kun's primordial spirit was terrified. It felt an instinctive fear of this gray mark. It wanted to struggle free, but Lu Xia Tian had made elaborate plans; how could he let Di Kun's primordial spirit escape so easily

The Soul-Stealing Seal shimmered with a ghostly light, enveloping Emperor Kun's primordial spirit. Inside, Emperor Kun's primordial spirit roared at first, but the roar gradually weakened until it became barely audible.

This process lasted for several days. After several days, Di Kun's primordial spirit recovered as usual, but looking at Lu Xia Tian's eyes, there was a kind of obedience, without the slightest trace of previous resentment and killing intent.

Lu Xiaitian let out a long sigh of relief. He had succeeded in half the task now. He had given Di Kun's soul the order to enter the Soul-Locking Bead. Although Di Kun was unwilling, he still obeyed and entered the Soul-Locking Bead.

"Congratulations, young master, your cultivation has reached a great accomplishment!" The two ghost cultivators naturally noticed the movement on Lu Xiaoteng's side. Seeing that Lu Xiaoteng had finished practicing that strange technique, they immediately congratulated him.

"Well, it did work. Give me the Yin Sha Fire Essence," Lu Xiaodao said.

"Shall we continue refining what's left" The two people handed over the vial containing the essence of Yin Sha fire and asked.

"Continue, I don't need it. I'll tell you." Lu Xia Tian nodded and then sat aside, reaching into his waist pouch with a snap. A white light flashed, and a creature appeared: a tiger head, leopard body, dragging three tails, with wings on its back. Its tail ends had five-colored fur. Its whole body was a shimmering silver-gray, exceptionally beautiful. It was the physical form of Feitian Yin Shi Di Kun.

Xiao Sanniang and Ge Changting trembled when they saw the severely injured Fei Tian Yin Shi Di Kun. Although they had speculated about various possibilities before, even thinking that Lu Xia Tian and Di Kun would both be defeated, or that Di Kun might have injured Lu Xia Tian before he fled, they never expected things to be so different. Di Kun was actually killed by this young man. To be precise, the primordial spirit within the Soul-binding Pearl, no, not only was Di Kun defeated by this young man, but his primordial spirit was also imprisoned. Moreover, this young man had cultivated a strange technique that could control divine sense and even forced Di Kun, who had been his enemy before, to submit to him.

Both of them trembled inwardly. The young man before them was simply terrifying. As ghost cultivators, they knew more about Yin corpse-type monsters than ordinary human cultivators. At this moment, their fear of Lu Xiaottian had reached an unbearable level. If Lu Xiaottian used that kind of magic on the two of them, wouldn't they become like Di Kun in the future, becoming Lu Xiaottian's puppet No one wants to be a puppet. Ge Changting and Xiao Sanniang both had a strong desire to survive, otherwise they would not have been willing to become ghost cultivators or die. Becoming a puppet, losing their original memories, was that still them Thinking of this, the two unconsciously took a step back, with a hint of escape in their hearts. As for fighting to the death, Ge Changting and Xiao Sanniang no longer had that thought.
