"' Myriad Mile Soul-Chasing Art '? Isn't that a technique that only highly skilled cultivators can perform?"
He Ping had communicated with Chixinzi many times and had heard of this tracking Law Technique. "Ten Thousand Mile Soul Chasing" is a relatively complex Law Technique. This Law Technique requires building an altar and using Secret Method of summoning souls to gather the remnant souls of the deceased.
Whether one is a cultivator or an ordinary person, once one's soul is scattered and reduced to ashes, even a great immortal descending to earth cannot save them.
"This technique of summoning souls is said to have been passed down from High Antiquity. It involves building an altar, and with the cultivation of a master cultivator, one can silently chant incantations before the altar for three days and three nights. After three days and three nights, one can absorb some remnants of the soul's spirit and extract a trace of the deceased's resentment towards the person who killed them. By using this resentment between life and death to cast Curse, one can pinpoint the whereabouts of the person who killed them."
He Ping recalled the events and calmly analyzed them.
"' The Myriad Mile Soul-Chasing Art ' sounds nice, but it's actually just a kind of witchcraft incantation. It uses the resentment between the deceased and their enemy to cast a spell and uses Divine Sense power to sense the target. This method can neither reveal the true face of the enemy nor go back to the past. To put it bluntly, it's just a special tracking technique."
"Of course, whether it's using powerful Law Power to glimpse the secrets of heaven, understand all phenomena, and know the principles of fortune and misfortune through numerology; or tracing back to the source and illuminating the changes of cause and effect in the vast world through meditative cultivation... all of these require at least extremely profound cultivation!"
Chixinzi, "The one chasing me wasn't a Dao-entering expert either, just as we guessed before. That little devil of mine secretly gathered a group of people to investigate clues about the Mysterious Mysterious Palace on Nine Slaughter Island. If this got out, it would inevitably cause controversy. To avoid information leaks, Nanu Zhenyu might not mobilize the Sutara People's forces, but only send his own men to investigate. Apart from Nanu Zhenyu himself, he doesn't have any Dao-entering experts under his command."
He Ping and Chixinzi didn't take the " Myriad Mile Soul-Chasing Art " too seriously at first, because there are several similar Law Technique in the cultivation world, and these spells have great flaws.
Firstly, the minimum standard for casting such a spell is to enter the Dao realm; without this level of cultivation, it is usually impossible to cast it... He Ping did not believe that Nanu Zhenyu would personally come to hunt him down. Furthermore, on Flying Ray Island, he had not displayed any Dao-level combat power in front of Nanu Hutu, which was insufficient to attract Nanu Zhenyu's attention.
Secondly, the " Myriad Mile Soul-Chasing Art " can only be used for tracking, and once the tracked person discovers it, there are various methods to confuse and counter it. Moreover, every twelve hours, it is necessary to re-condense the remnant soul and lingering thoughts. This technique has many inconveniences, and unless one has sufficient patience, one should not expect to catch up with the enemy with this spell in a hurry.
He Ping and Chixinzi had a clear plan: if things didn't work out, they'd just run! Even if the Zhendan Chamber of Commerce and the Sutuoluo Clan were incredibly powerful and dominated the outer seas, would they really dare to follow them all the way to the Great You Realm?
"If that's the case, then the Nu clan has some simplified method of the ' Myriad Mile Soul-Chasing Art,' but there must be some price to pay, right?"
He Ping seemed to be deep in thought.
"There is a way, though. After building the altar, we can sacrifice high-quality living souls. If a few hundred people die to fill the gaps, we can speed up the process of gathering those remaining soul fragments. The two who were chasing me seemed to have spent ten days gathering a wisp of soul fragment from the altar, and another five days completing this incantation and finding a clue... Hehe, I think the Sun Family on Flying Ray Island is completely wiped out this time!"
Chixinzi's tone carried a hint of schadenfreude.
He Ping remained silent, but he knew that the people who were tracking him must have been slaughtering people on Flying Ray Island, sacrificing countless lives to obtain a clue. If nothing unexpected happened, the remnants of the Sun Family on the island would definitely have become the materials for the sacrifice.
"Those two juniors chasing me are quite strong, but unfortunately, they lack experience and knowledge. I'm currently playing hide-and-seek with them in the open sea to temporarily hold them off. There should also be two other Daoist masters who arrived by sea three days ago and are tracking you along your route..."
"By boat? They're planning to wait for me to tire myself out, but aren't they afraid I'll run ashore?"
"Hehehe... that ' Zhang Jiubao ' name does have some effect. These people mistakenly believe that we know clues about the Mysterious Mysterious Palace on Nine Slaughter Island, and they even tried to persuade me to surrender, demanding that I hand over the secrets of the Mysterious Mysterious Palace in exchange for my life."
Hearing Chixinzi say this, He Ping slowly sorted out his thoughts.
"In that case, there are quite a few remedies. I will refine the Azure Corpse Puppet from the Three Corpses Secret Demon Puppet as soon as possible. Once refined, it will be extremely useful, and its power goes without saying... No, even from my perspective as a member of the Immortal Puppet Sect, this thing is an evil and strange puppet. In fact, the records of the Immortal Puppet Sect believe that such a thing is envied by Heaven, and is itself a taboo against the creation of creation. After it is refined, there will be all sorts of ominous signs..."
Unfortunately, he didn't care about any taboos or ominous signs; he had already made up his mind to refine the Three Corpses Secret Demon Puppet.
"Time waits for no one, the faster the better!"
After severing his connection with Chixinzi, He Ping sat firmly on the Flame Throne, his gaze shifting to the altar below. High on the altar, the Azure Corpse Puppet, one of the Three Corpses Secret Demon Puppet, was still undergoing its refinement.
This puppet was forged from the bones of dozens of cultivators. After seven or eight days of refining, it had taken initial shape. Its form was strange, its entire body was covered in indigo, and several blue skulls surrounded it. It also had spider-like long legs that extended out, making it a bizarre puppet that resembled a combination of a spider and a scorpion.
His eyes darted around, and he carefully examined the puppet. Then, he raised an eyebrow, pointed, and used a Body-Shifting Curse to retrieve from his shadow the broken golden knife of "Sea Wolf" He Moheng, the gemstone staff of Wugesa, and the black banner of Badar broken in two.
Immediately afterwards, with a powerful surge of his divine soul, he threw them all out into the Five Yin Profound Baleful Earthly Ultimate Demon Flame, leaving them to be burned and refined by the fire.
A moment later, these Law Artifact melted into a metallic liquid. He Ping refined and removed the impurities, then transformed the liquid gold back into the purest original material of the Law Artifact. Next, he incorporated these materials into the skeletal puppet.
"It will take a day, no, with the help of such a powerful demonic fire as the Five Yin Profound Baleful Earthly Ultimate Demon Flame, I can refine the embryo of the Azure Corpse Puppet in four or five hours at most. Anyway, there's no rush to refine the real Secret Demon Puppet, so this quick fix will do!"
He made up his mind and silently circulated his internal energy, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
He Ping deliberately chose a secluded sea area far from human habitation in order to refine his magic, but things in this world are often like this: the tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease... The commotion he made every day while refining the < Eight Lives Eight Deaths Demonic Secret Art > was far too conspicuous. Even if he tried to conceal it, it didn't mean that others wouldn't notice.
The cultivation world overseas is also quite unique. There are no broad circles; instead, various forces band together, resulting in numerous powerful cultivators, Rogue Cultivator, and various large and small secluded sects occupying islands.
In fact, the cultivation world in the entire East Sea can be divided into three forces: the cultivation masters of the Divine Wind, Yanlong, and Fuyu in the inner sea, and the powerful cultivator camps of the three major merchant guilds and the seven great clans;
Secondly, there are Rogue Cultivator like the Sun Family who occupy islands of all sizes, ruling over their own islands. These Rogue Cultivator Aristocratic Clan, who have not entered the true path of cultivation and know that there is no hope of immortality and that their future is blocked, simply stop cultivating and instead devote their energy to managing their own small plot of land, accumulating wealth, and pursuing various material enjoyments.
The Sun Family is a typical example of this type of person. Among Rogue Cultivator, there are also a few with firm wills who privately ponder and research, some of whom independently comprehend some Outer Dao methods, while others eventually suffer from Qi Deviation, becoming monstrous beings that are neither human nor ghost, neither beast nor demon...
Besides the two mentioned above, there is a third type of person. These people come from all walks of life. Some are traitors from major sects, while others are independent Rogue Cultivator. They know that if they cannot enter the Dao, their lives will be in vain after a hundred years. So they willingly degenerate and do things that harm others without benefiting themselves.
These people, in groups of three or five, roam the seas, treating the world as a playground. Some of them live a life of debauchery and commit heinous acts; others are brave and wicked, their reputations even worse than those of heretical and evil practitioners like the Nine Evils of Longevity. These people are known as the corrupt overseas cultivators.
There are quite a few corrupt and treacherous forces in the East Sea. Among them, three are relatively well-known: " Wind Banner Hall ", " Silver Dam ", and " Head-Seizing Society ".
The Head-Seizing Society has been active in the East Sea for at least sixty years. They are accustomed to operating in the outer seas, specializing in hunting Rogue Cultivator sects and Calamity Sea. They are numerous and cause great harm.
The symbol of the Head-Seizing Society is a flying wheel called the ' Blood Wheel Seizer '. Once unleashed, this flying wheel can break through all kinds of spiritual light defenses, and ordinary methods are truly ineffective against it. In fact, over the past sixty years, the number of heads Head-Seizing Society the Head-Snatching Society's thugs could probably pile up into a small mountain.
Everyone in the East Sea knows that the cultivators of the Head-Seizing Society are typical corrupt cultivators, fond of fighting and even disregarding their own lives. The reason why this group is so ferocious is probably because the leader of the Head-Seizing Society, Zangling, can concoct a kind of powder called " Carefree Powder ".
After consuming it, the cultivators of the Head-Seizing Society experience various pleasures and delights in their bodies and minds. Once they take it for a long time, it becomes extremely difficult to quit. If they do not take it for even a day, they will feel as if a hundred claws are scratching their hearts, their whole body is itchy, and they wish they could scratch their skin raw.
Once a cultivator overdoses on the drug, their personality will become irritable and manic, and they will become fearless of death. They will even lose their sense of pain. The longer they use the drug, the more bloodthirsty and ferocious they will become.
The Head-Seizing Society used this " Carefree Powder " to control these numerous Rogue Cultivator, ordering them to plunder and pillage throughout the seas. Over the years, they have committed many major crimes, such as massacring merchants on Yellow Earth Island, attacking various ports and islands, killing countless people, and causing great harm.
He Ping was unaware that he had unintentionally killed several cultivators in recent days, one of whom was a parasitic cultivator from the Head-Seizing Society.
Although this parasite died on the spot, he summarized the events that happened in this sea area as the emergence of a "strange treasure" and secretly passed on this important "information".
The message was incomplete. Out of caution, the Head-Seizing Society sent a group of people over first, but they were killed by the Azure Lion Divine Dharma Body before they could even get close.
After that, several more groups of cultivators rushed to the island, but they were all burned to death by the Five Yin Profound Baleful Earthly Ultimate Demon Flame when they were about to reach the Volcano Island. After so many people died, the Head-Seizing Society became more and more convinced that there was something wrong with this island.
Finally, this news also reached the Head-Seizing Society of " Zangling " of the Head-Snatching Society...
