Chapter 418: Collecting Wronged Souls
After setting up the formation, He Yihong asked Zhou Qing and Wen Lanxin to hide in the formation. He went to break the seal of the Earth Dog Star Pillar and quickly retreated back to the formation.
The star pillar collapsed, the seal was broken, and the resentment that surged into the sky immediately gushed out. The black gas that condensed into substance also spread out from the place where the star pillar collapsed, quickly filling the entire Tianxing Hall.
The wronged souls condensed into a shape, each showing the miserable state before death, which made He Yihong frown. The ghosts with missing arms and legs looked more pleasing to the eye. The miserable ones included those with half of their heads missing, those with pierced intestines, and those with swords stuck in their bodies. The strength of these wronged souls was stronger than the one that Zhou Qing had refined before, and their violent aura was shocking.
Zhou Qing used twelve formation flags to form the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons formation, trapping six ghosts inside for refining. Wen Lanxin also used magic to cooperate with the Ten Thousand Demons Banner to capture a ghost soldier and roll him into the Ten Thousand Demons Banner.
He Yihong was even more powerful. Although he did not manifest the image of the demon on the Pluto flag, he threw out twelve large flags. Black rainbows surged out from each flag, sweeping up the ghosts and pulling them into the flags.
This scene stunned Zhou Qing and Wen Lanxin. They also understood how powerful He Yihong was.
He Yihong collected nearly 90% of the 2,000 or so ghost soldiers in ten minutes. He used 80% to feed the ancestor witch clone, and 10% was collected by his soul-catching bottle. When there were less than 200 left, He Yihong took back the twelve Dutian Pluto flags, sat cross-legged in the formation, and let Zhou Qing and Wen Lanxin take action.
Two hundred Yin soldiers, one hundred each for each of them, is enough to greatly improve their strength. Zhou Qing refined the spiritual power of more than twenty Yin soldiers, and his golden body clone has been promoted to the Spiritualization Stage. If he refines a hundred Yin soldiers, it will be enough for him to be promoted to the late stage of Spiritualization. However, his method is still relatively wasteful, and it is better to refine the Yin soldiers into the twelve large flags.
There were less than 200 ghost soldiers, and it took Zhou Qing and his companions two hours to completely clear them out. Wen Lanxin knew that he had benefited from He Yihong, so he only collected 100 ghost soldiers and let Zhou Qing take the rest.
When Zhou Qing finished his work, He Yihong said with a smile, "Are these ghosts enough for you? If so, we can leave."
Wen Lanxin actually wanted to collect some more. This time, she could be said to be refining while collecting, and now she still had some energy to spare. However, she also knew that she was here to get a bargain, so she didn't say anything, but looked at Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Forget it! I'm almost there now."
"Okay! Let's leave!" He Yihong said.
Wen Lanxin was a little disappointed, but he also felt that he had gotten a great bargain by following along this time.
They removed the formation and left the underground palace. The cave entrance was blocked by He Yihong again, and a new restriction was set. Even if a cultivator of the celestial level came, it would take a long time to forcibly break through this restriction. In this way, this place can be said to be He Yihong's treasure house.
He Yihong and Zhou Qing left, and Zhou Qing joked to him, "Brother He, are you interested in Wen Lanxin?"
He Yihong smiled and said, "Indeed, it is not easy to find a talented disciple these days."
Zhou Qing was stunned: "You want to take her as your disciple? You don't want to seduce her!"
He Yihong laughed: "I have a Taoist partner now. But you have to improve your cultivation quickly, otherwise I can't tell her that I want to take her as my disciple! Could it be that the leader of the Tiandao Sect is not as good as his disciples?"
Zhou Qing's face suddenly turned bitter.
After returning to the villa, He Yihong gave the soul-catching bottle to Zhou Qing and said, "The ghost soldiers inside are given to you."
Zhou Qing said happily: "Thank you, Brother He!"
Zhou Qing and Liao Xiaojin were practicing here, while He Yihong left here, breaking through the space and returning directly to the underground palace under Changping. There were still 107 star pillars left here, and nearly 20 Yin soldiers. The 108 star pillars here formed the Tiangang Disha formation. The center of the Disha formation was the Disha star, assisted by Dikui star, Diyong star, Dijie star, and Dixiong star. If any of these five star pillars were broken, the entire Disha formation would be broken. At that time, more than Yin soldiers would rush out.
He Yihong refined two soul-catching bottles, broke these star pillars one by one, and collected all the ghost soldiers into one soul-catching bottle. He did not break the five star pillars such as the Earthly Evil Star Pillar, but tried to break the Tiangang formation.
The thirty-six Tiangang star pillars, with Tiangang as the center of the formation, assisted by Tiankui, Tianyong, Tianxiong and Tianwei. He Yihong broke the other star pillars one by one, and let the ancestor witch's clone devour half of the ghost soldiers, and the other half was collected by him into another soul-catching bottle. At this point, only the center of the Tiangang Disha formation and eight auxiliary star pillars remained in the underground palace.
From now on, no matter who comes to this underground palace to take advantage of these evil spirits, they will return empty-handed.
One of these ghosts is enough to be worth thousands of ordinary souls, and is most suitable for refining magic weapons. He Yihong's second soul-capturing bottle contains more than 30,000 ghosts, which is enough to be worth 200 to 300 million ordinary souls. The ones he let the ancestor witch's clone devour have greatly improved the strength of the twelve demon gods.
He Yihong left the underground palace and returned to Zhou Qing and the others. After nearly a month of training, Zhou Qing, with the help of his golden body clone, raised his strength to the Spiritualization Stage. His golden body clone, by devouring the spiritual power source, raised his strength to the late stage of Spiritualization. Liao Xiaojin also cultivated to the late stage of Qi Induction, while the Zhou Chen sisters were in the middle stage of Qi Induction.
During dinner that day, He Yihong came to Zhou Qing and the others and said, "The once-in-a-century founding ceremony of Shushan is about to take place. Are you interested in joining in the fun?"
Before Zhou Qing could say anything, Zhou Can beside him clapped his hands excitedly and shouted, "Great! Great! Let's go join in the fun!"
Liao Xiaojin also smiled and echoed, "Master, we have been in seclusion for such a long time, it is time to go out and relax."
Zhou Qing nodded slightly and said with a smile: "In that case, let's go together to see the situation of the Shushan Sect!" Then, he turned to look at He Yihong and asked: "Brother He, in what capacity do you think we should go there?"
He Yihong said directly: "In the name of the overseas Taoist sect Tiandao Sect, what do you think?"
Zhou Qing nodded and said, "Then we can use their founding ceremony to promote the Tiandao Sect."
He Yihong took out two jade talismans and handed them to Zhou Chen and Zhou Can, saying, "I am passing on the cultivation method to you two. You haven't cultivated to the right level yet, and your demonic aura can still be detected by others. Refine these jade talismans, and even cultivators in the Return to Void Realm will not be able to see your true form."
"Thank you, uncle!"
