Shennong Sequence

Chapter 322 Soul Refining Stone, Soul-Bearing Evil

In addition, since Zhao Yun had analyzed a little bit about King You's intention to collect top dragon souls, he also wanted to collect a few top dragon souls himself to see if he could turn the private soldiers he recruited into a pseudo military soul legion.

Although the realization of this idea is difficult.

But if it works!

Then, Zhao Yun’s peak combat power at that time can be further enhanced by the Military Soul Legion at an epic level!

After that, everyone moved towards the depths of Dragon Soul Valley.

The black wind lurking in the depths of the deep canyon, also known as the Soul-Destroying Wind, slowly blew up like a ferocious beast that had been awakened.

Zhao Yun looked at the gray-white soul-destroying wind that was slowly moving around him, although he didn't know how other people felt when facing this soul-destroying wind.

And he himself could clearly feel that the mental power in his body seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and did not dare to incline even a little bit outside of his body!

If you are not careful, you will be instantly sucked away by the unknown and terrifying suction force deep in the Dragon Soul Valley that targets your mind, soul, etc.

This is completely different from the experience of using the Yang Fire to burn the spiritual power in the Lingyang Desert, and it is definitely not a simple process of purifying spiritual power...

In the Dragon Soul Valley, if you dare to leak even a little bit of your mental power, it will be pulled by a powerful force and dragged towards the depths of the Dragon Soul Valley until it is completely out of your control, causing you to lose this part of your mental power.

And even when Zhao Yun had stabilized his mental power within his sea of ​​consciousness, he could still clearly sense an extremely powerful attraction from the outside world coming from the depths of the Dragon Soul Valley, making his mental power seem eager to break free and run out of his sea of ​​consciousness, rushing wildly towards the mysterious depths of the Dragon Soul Valley.

In addition, in Zhao Yun's sea of ​​consciousness, besides mental power, there are also the seven souls that have not been melted together.

If it weren't for the mountain god's divinity that was firmly suppressing him, Zhao Yun felt that he would have to expend a great deal of energy to suppress the seven spirits that were shaking and almost floating out of his body.

But fortunately, with the guidance of the mountain god's divinity, the seven souls are temporarily safe!
Zhao Yun also didn't need to spend all his energy to fight against the attraction deep in the Dragon Soul Valley that wanted to take away the Seven Souls.

Then, Zhao Yun decisively used the mountain god's divinity and the seven souls to suppress the area of ​​the spiritual power puddle.

In an instant, the mental force in the sea of ​​consciousness was temporarily suppressed by the strange feeling of being pulled by the suction force from the depths of the Dragon Soul Valley outside.

In addition, Zhao Yun also discovered that the special attraction deep in the Dragon Soul Valley that targets the soul, spirit, will and many other aspects is extremely powerful in nature!
Even the Golden Light Spell, which has always been used to restrain external forces and evil, seems to be somewhat powerless in front of it, and there is a tendency that it cannot be stopped.

Otherwise, how could the mental power and seven spirits in Zhao Yun's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly become slightly agitated?

In addition, when Zhao Yun discovered that this five-colored auspicious cloud was covering his head, it also had some resistance to the special pulling force deep in the Dragon Soul Valley...

At the same time, Zhao Yun activated the Yin Sha Wind that he had mastered. As it spun rapidly around him, it was able to greatly weaken the powerful attraction on the soul and spirit in the depths of the Dragon Soul Valley.

What surprised Zhao Yun even more was that he discovered that his Black Evil Wind, like a greedy devourer, could devour and refine the Soul-Destroying Wind that had begun to float around in the Dragon Soul Valley!

As the weak swallowing continued, Black Evil Wind's quality and cultivation progress seemed to be injected with new vitality and began to steadily improve...

As they went deeper into the Dragon Soul Valley, Zhao Yun and his companions could see some strange sights every time they advanced a certain distance:

Many souls that drift here will be ruthlessly blown away by the soul-destroying wind, and in the end only a special kind of evil spirit will remain - soul evil!
This soul evil may seem insignificant, but it actually has an unimaginable restraining effect on mental strength and soul.

But to be precise, the pollution of soul, spirit, will, etc. by soul evil is the most fatal!

After all, soul evil is formed by the remnants of the soul characteristics of other living beings, as well as endless resentment.

Once this evil spirit is integrated into the mental power and soul, it is like ink dropped into clear water, instantly blending into one and cannot be removed at all.

Moreover, instead of taking the trouble to eliminate it, it would be better to cut off your polluted mental power or soul bit by bit.

Therefore, when Zhao Yun discovered that the Black Evil Wind could devour the unique Soul-Destroying Wind in the Dragon Soul Valley and these troublesome soul evil spirits, he was filled with surprise.

In this way, the Black Evil Wind's original ability to devour all kinds of wind and evil spirits will continue to strengthen the performance of the Black Evil Wind itself!

In addition, in this team of 38 people, Zhao Yun relied on the Black Evil Wind to rotate, resisting the Soul-Destroying Wind on the surface and secretly devouring the Soul-Destroying Wind and the Soul Evil Energy, while the others also displayed their magical powers.

Or use the magic weapons, instruments, or exquisite techniques that are tailored to the characteristics of the soul.

Of course, there are also some people who do not have this kind of magic, and can only rely on the precious elixir distributed by King You in advance before everyone entered the Dragon Soul Valley: the Soul-Fixing Pearl.

However, this Soul-Fixing Pearl is only good enough for 5 days. Fortunately, everyone will leave Dragon Soul Valley in 5 days... From a long-term perspective, if we eat the Soul-Fixing Pearl now, we will no longer have this precious elixir when we leave Dragon Soul Valley.

Like Zhao Yun, cultivators who directly use their magic or treasures to resist the Soul-Destroying Wind all have their own little calculations in mind.

These soul-fixing beads are extremely valuable, yet King You was so generous as to equip each person with five before they set out.

So everyone’s plan was to save as many Soul-Fixing Beads as possible!
Whatever you save will be yours!

This is also the reason why everyone is different from King You, who was born in the royal family of the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty and possessed endless resources. Although the people present are all officials, most of them come from the lower class. The resources in their hands are hard-earned, and they are stingy when spending every penny, wishing they could split the money into two halves.

That's why we are so frugal.

It is not surprising that Zhao Yun uses his Black Evil Wind to resist the Soul-Destroying Wind. After all, this is also a way to control the wind.

There were also some people in the team who used similar methods to try to prevent the Soul-Destroying Wind from touching their bodies, especially the vital head!
As they continued to move deeper into the valley, the scene before them became increasingly bizarre.

There were many short white bones scattered on the ground of the long and narrow valley.

And around these bones, there are also some substances like broken diamonds.

They come in different colors, including dark blue, white, colorless, red, green, etc.

These small, crystal clear fragments are soul stones!

Among them, colorless soul stones are the most common.

Colored soul stones contain different soul characteristics. For example, green ones mostly indicate that their owner's soul characteristics tend towards the wood attribute; black ones basically correspond to the water attribute, and are roughly classified according to the five elements.

Of course, there are many with other special characteristics, which are special soul crystals.

Therefore, soul crystals have a variety of colors and shapes depending on the type of organism.

But these can be used by everyone.

However, if you can find a soul crystal that matches your soul attributes to refine, the effect will naturally be better. As everyone moves forward, these bones and soul crystals continue to appear, and more and more soul evil spirits accumulate around them.

This was undoubtedly a sumptuous meal for Zhao Yun's Black Evil Wind, which greatly accelerated his progress in cultivation.

Zhao Yun also estimated in his mind that if he let the Black Evil Wind devour for half a day longer, his cultivation state, which had been stagnant for a long time, would be able to advance again.

By then, the stronger black evil wind will be even more rapid when it devours the soul-destroying wind, soul evil and other sources of wind and evil.

Furthermore, once the Black Evil Wind is fully advanced, it will become even more powerful in resisting the evil spirit of the soul and enhancing its effect on the characteristics of the soul.

This will undoubtedly provide Zhao Yun with a powerful boost as he is about to go deep into the Dragon Soul Valley and face the dragon soul that can withstand the long-term blowing of the Soul-Destroying Wind. At least it will give him a powerful magic that can resist soul attacks.

During the short journey,

The most bizarre scene appeared!
From time to time, people could see some ferocious dragon souls wandering desperately towards the depths of the Dragon Soul Valley from outside the valley.

Moreover, these dragon souls, having lost the protection of their physical bodies and floating directly between heaven and earth, appear extremely fragile.

At this moment, they were gently blown by the gray-white soul-destroying wind unique to the Dragon Soul Valley, and they exploded into fluorescent dots like bubbles, scattered on the ground.

Then, those needle-like tiny soul stones condensed out. These were the most essential soul essences of the dragon soul that were tempered by the soul-destroying wind and formed after fusion.

However, the soul stones formed by the souls that were directly blown away by the gray-white soul-destroying wind near the entrance of the Dragon Soul Valley will become very small!

Most of them are as small as a needle tip, not even as big as a speck of dust.

However, there were still some ferocious and powerful dragon souls that roared at everyone. After being resisted by everyone's magic, magic weapons, or special elixirs, they could only struggle feebly against the attraction of the depths of the Dragon Soul Valley, but they had no choice but to gradually fly deeper into the Dragon Soul Valley...

But most of the dragon souls, after going deep into the Dragon Soul Valley for a distance, basically exploded into fluorescent sparks like brilliant fireworks, and then dissipated like a fire...

In addition, under the blowing of the soul-destroying wind, most of the impurities in the soul spark were blown away, leaving the purest soul essence, which was melted into one tiny soul stone after another by the strange power in the Dragon Soul Valley, and fell to the ground.

And most of the impurities in the soul spark gradually gathered together, which was the initial stage of the birth of the soul demon.

In addition, the color in this Dragon Soul Valley is gray with black and white interwoven.

Therefore, after the dragon souls were blown away by the soul-destroying wind and collapsed, the majority of soul stones that were generated were very conspicuous among this gray world.

Therefore, everyone was divided into 38 routes of similar size, and agreed that whoever picked up the soul stone on their respective routes would own it, and no one was allowed to grab more than one soul stone.

This prevented everyone from rushing around to pick up some soul stones and creating a noisy scene where people were running here and there to pick up some soul stones.

However, as everyone gradually walked towards the depths of the Dragon Soul Valley, the situation of so many dragon souls suddenly running over from outside seemed a little unusual.

But there is also a sense of rationality in this abnormality.

After all, most cultivators enter this small world of dragon beasts not to stay there for a long time, nor do they really come here simply to look for resources.

The goal of most cultivators is to find the opportunity in the real dragon world connected to the ancient altar rooted deep in the dragon beast world on the day of February 2 when the dragon raises its head!

If you want to go to the real dragon world, the opening of the ancient altar is essential.

The opening of the ancient altar requires various blood sacrifices as starting energy.

Therefore, these dragon beasts naturally became the targets of hunting and blood sacrifice by everyone.

However, most practitioners can hunt dragon beasts and capture their bodies, but their ability to absorb or suppress their souls is still far behind.

Therefore, after most people killed the dragon beast, they could only let these more precious dragon souls run away.

And the many dragon souls will float to the soul destination of this small world: the Dragon Soul Valley.

Therefore, as more and more dragon souls from outside continue to pour into the Dragon Soul Valley, it also proves that the killing activities in the outside world are becoming more and more intense!

Even some of the human souls that continued to emerge afterwards were in serious trouble.

Obviously, someone was slaughtering a group of monks.

Moreover, the soul strength of these human souls is not high… which proves that they are low-level practitioners and are being slaughtered!

Therefore, Zhao Yun felt that the various things that the Xiang family had done before might really be intended to plunder the luck of many practitioners who had already been selected and had a certain amount of luck!

And now, as these human souls continue to pour into the Dragon Soul Valley, it proves that the plans of the Xiang family are underway.

Therefore, Zhao Yun’s idea that it is safer to follow King You’s team is correct!
And as everyone continued to go deeper into the Dragon Soul Valley, there were naturally these soul-destroying winds outside the Dragon Soul Valley acting as a barrier.

It can also be considered a kind of alternative protection.

In addition, in the world of cultivation, it is often said that where there are rare treasures, there are spiritual beasts and insects guarding them. This is indeed true in most cases.

For example, in the valley where the spiritual veins converged that everyone had passed through earlier, many of the more than ten spiritual plants that Zhao Yun had captured were guarded by those dragon beasts.

But a stick of Lustful Dragon Incense would directly lead them away.

This can naturally be harvested easily.

But in addition to this, the 'Iron Mountain Skin' Lingxiu that Zhao Yun got at the beginning grew on a cliff, and this special Lingxiu could only grow on a cliff where iron ore gathered.

And between those cliffs, not many dragon beasts would often stay there.

In other words, most dragon beasts are intelligent. Who wouldn't have the time to jump off a cliff?

Or flying around on the cliff?

Therefore, when Zhao Yun picked the Iron Mountain Spirit, he had never seen any spiritual beasts or dragon beasts guarding it.

The Dragon Soul Valley was originally an environment created by the Barbarian King clan, the dragon of the Canglan Grassland, for harvesting dragon souls.

How could they allow other monsters, dragon beasts, demon insects, etc. to run into their core area and absorb the soul crystals scattered on the earth?
How could they allow the dragon souls in the deep to be plundered and devoured by these foreign dragon beasts?
