I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 319 Dream Gu Mother Gu (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Jiang Yi took a moment to calm his restless inner energy.

Now, as long as she doesn't actively touch the Nightmare Seed, with her current state of mind and the Moonlight Barrier in her Sea of ​​Consciousness, ordinary demonic thoughts can hardly affect her in the slightest.

At this moment, she is at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and her Qi Core is already taking shape. As long as she is properly prepared, she can sit down and form her core at any time.

But it is precisely at times like these that she must not be impatient; she still has a lot of preparations to make.

Once Xuan Hui arrives, at least most of the problems can be solved.

She used to be too independent. In order to prove her own strength, she never asked for help from others, which led her to take many detours and waste a lot of time.

Actually, there's no need for that. Jiang Yi now believes that being able to achieve one's goals with the help of external forces is also a skill.

"How can we find the location of the Dream Demon's true form in the vast Northern Sea?"

As Jiang Yi pondered, he heard a low, mournful flute melody. Looking up, he saw Shang Shixu standing under a tree in the distance, his body covered in blood that had not yet been washed away. Under the bright moon, he was playing a funeral dirge on his flute.

At the front of the Shang Dynasty, Cang Qingyue led the alpha wolf to bury the corpse of the dead gray wolf. Other cultivators also buried their fallen demon spirits and the remains of their fellow disciples in the ground, their expressions sorrowful.

Qi Tian sighed heavily; his stone-skinned rhinoceros had left no trace, not even its corpse.

Attracted by the sound of the flute, the flying insects hidden in the woods floated up like fireflies, gathered into a stream, circled the burial mound, and finally flew into the sky.

It was as if the spirits of the dead were being led to a blessed land, bringing solace to those present.

Jiang Yi knew that Shang Shixu had done it intentionally, as he had a strong ability to control insects.

As the music ended, everyone gradually left.

“Junior Brother Shang,” Jiang Yi walked to Shang Shixu’s side, “I have something I would like to ask you. If it is offensive, you do not have to answer.”

Shang Shixu held the jade flute Cangming Yin with both hands, his expression calm. "Senior Sister, please ask."

"I want to know how that dream gu in Yuyang City was made, and why it attracted the attention of the dream demon?"

Shang Shixu was taken aback. After the incident in Yuyang City, apart from the sect leader's detailed inquiries, neither Jiang Yi nor Zhao Cangyun, who were witnesses to the incident, had asked him a single question.

Shang Shixu knew that Jiang Yi and Zhao Cangyun were pretending nothing had happened because they were afraid of touching on his painful memories.

Jiang Yi's sudden question must mean something of great importance.

Shang Shixu confessed, "I don't know the specific steps of how the original Dream Gu Mother Gu was made. I only know that the Dream Gu was made by extracting a large amount of Dream Eater essence and demon seed, and finally using the original demon seed taught by Dream Immortal."

"Demon seeds? These demons are so ruthless they even refine themselves." Jiang Yi clicked his tongue in amazement.

Shang Shixu continued to explain to Jiang Yi, "After the Dream Gu is planted, it will cause the cultivator's soul to fall into a dream. The Dream Demon will then use the Pillow Fairy in the mortal world to send the souls of mortals who are willing to believe in it into the body of the cultivator."

"The Dream Gu actually plays an auxiliary role and is not a necessary procedure for the Dream Immortal Sect to parasitize cultivators. If a cultivator has inner demons and obsessions, the Dream Gu can more easily locate and control the cultivator's soul."

Jiang Yi nodded, "Actually, all demons are related to cultivators' obsessions and inner demons. It's just that the Dream Demon branch has mastered the ability to create dreams and separate souls. Mortals who believe in it are essentially signing a soul separation contract, offering their souls to the Dream Demon. Is the Dream Gu used in Yuyang City modified?"

Shang Shixu did not deny it. "Yes, the current Dream Gu Mother Gu has developed new abilities from the original demonic seed. As long as a cultivator's mind is slightly relaxed, he will be silently parasitized and enter the woven dream. Without external intervention, the cultivator who is infected by the Dream Gu will eventually die from the flaw in his own mind."

The Gu Lou was like that; it thought it was forming a Nascent Soul, but was eventually struck down by a heavenly tribulation. In reality, it had never left the room.

The nourishment required by the Dream Gu mother Gu is the soul of the Gu ant filled with regret and fear at the moment of its death. All Dream Gu ultimately devour the soul of their host, a soul with a certain emotion that is extremely intense.

The Dream Gu is used to achieve the purpose of parasitism. The parasitized cultivators do not live long and can only be used in emergency situations.

"Where is the mother Gu? Can we find the location of the Dream Demon's true form through the mother Gu?"

This is the issue that Jiang Yi is most concerned about. Her soul cannot withstand the power of the dream demon and cannot directly trace its source; she can only sense a general location.

She wanted to see if the Dream Gu could track down the location of the Dream Demon, or lure out the Dream Demon's true form so that Xuan Hui could cut off a piece for her.

With a flick of his wrist, Shang Shixu sent a tiny, translucent insect, resembling a weevil, emerging from his sleeve and settling in his palm. The moment this insect appeared, the Nightmare, imprisoned deep within Jiang's consciousness, went berserk and slammed violently against the moonlight barrier.

"It's the Demon Lord's aura! Let me out!!"

Jiang Yi frowned, shutting everything out.

"The sect leader must have asked you why you didn't hand it over to the sect."

Shang Shixu smiled and said, "It's beautiful, isn't it? If it's useful to you, Senior Sister, you can lend it to her."

Jiang Yi was stunned again, wondering why Shang Shixu trusted her so much.

Shang Shixu, however, thought Jiang Yi was wondering why he wasn't giving it away, and quickly explained, "This Dream Gu Mother Gu has an unbreakable connection with me now, so I can't give it away even if I wanted to."

The main problem is that the Formless Gu disagrees; it's estimated that this is the food the Formless Gu is preparing for its next advancement.

Shang Shixu found a specially made small black jar, sealed the Dream Gu Mother Gu inside, and handed it to Jiang Yi.

"I'm not sure if we can find the location of the Dream Demon. Senior Sister can give it a try. This jar was made by a Gu ant. He used to use this jar to seal the aura of the mother Gu. It seems to be effective. Senior Sister can rest assured."

Jiang Yi took the jar. "You've helped me a lot. I'm grateful for your help. If there's anything you want here, just ask. Or I can do something for you, as long as it doesn't go against my conscience or morality."

Upon hearing this, Shang Shixu smiled and said, "I do have something I want. Since you don't treat me like an outsider, I won't be polite. I would like to ask you for the sheet music for the second half of the piece you played today."

The second half is "The Song of Raging Waves," which can temporarily stimulate one's own explosive power. If Shang Shixu uses it to control insects, it can indeed instantly increase the attack power of the insect swarm by a large margin.

Jiang Yi readily agreed and immediately took out a blank jade slip, recorded the score of "Raging Waves" on it, and handed it to Shang Shixu.

"This piece was originally a musical score. You need to practice playing it on the flute. I will return the Dream Gu Mother Gu to you after I have used it."

The two thanked each other and went about their own business.

The group worked tirelessly on White Coral Island all night, repairing all the Thousand Machine Crossbows and formations. They held out for another two days, and the second wave of demonic tide did not arrive.

After the shift change disciples were teleported to the island, Jiang Yi and his group were finally able to go back and rest for a few days.

Returning to Cloud Stack Pass through the teleportation array, the square, which was bustling with people just three days ago, now appeared unusually empty.

Many of the young faces that once chatted and laughed here with great ambition are now gone.

The survivors stepped out of the teleportation array in silence, each with a face etched with a weariness beyond their years.

Some clutched their blood-stained clothes, some held the belongings of their fellow disciples in their arms, and some had empty eyes, as if their souls were still lingering in that sea where blood and fire intertwined.

The sea breeze, carrying the smoke of gunpowder, swept across the square, scattering the last vestiges of innocence.

Three days of life-or-death trials shed the naivety of these fledgling cultivators, transforming them like iron blanks forged in a raging fire, undergoing a painful metamorphosis from ordinary iron to refined steel.

Jiang Yi remained silent and returned to the inn.

That day, she made Hong Li compensate her with spirit stones, and the guest room had already been renovated. Jiang Yi sat at the table writing a letter to her master, telling him that she had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment and could prepare to form her core.

After writing the letter to her master, Jiang Yi wrote another letter of greeting to Xuan Hui. It was nothing, just that she suddenly missed Senior Xuan Hui very much, recalled the care he had given her in the past, felt guilty, and felt that she had to thank him properly.

After writing the two letters, Jiang Yi solemnly wrote a visiting card, called Hong Li out, and asked Hong Li to deliver the letter to the post station and the visiting card to Qianlong Zhenjun, who was stationed at Yunzhan Pass.

He is a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Liujing Sect. The Liujing Sect has cultivators from all walks of life, including talisman cultivators, magic cultivators, and array cultivators. His knowledge is very diverse and his interests are extremely broad.

Jiang Yi has not yet found a way to contract multiple demon spirits as her natal demon spirits. Her master and Xuan Hui are both helping her search, and Zhu Xin Jian has read many books over the years, but to no avail.

Unable to find answers from the demon tamers, Jiang Yi decided to try unconventional methods.

If it were any other Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would be impossible for them to pay homage to a Nascent Soul True Monarch, but who could blame them when her identity is extraordinary?
