Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 469 Blood Moon Mark

In the dimly lit Blackwater City, Xuan Jiaozi, who had been lost in thought, seemed to awaken from a dream.

"The Yin Earth must be found."

With a thought, Xuan Jiaozi's figure disappeared. Although Jiang Chen had seen through the secret deep in his heart, he himself did not realize anything was wrong, or rather, he naturally ignored the abnormality on his body.

At this moment, his strongest thought was to find the Yin Earth.

Meanwhile, in the Burial Sand Lake, gazing in the direction of Blackwater City, Jiang Chen's expression was gloomy.

"Yin soil, a breeding ground for ghosts and monsters, I wonder if Xuan Jiaozi will be able to find it."

Thinking of the existence of Yin Earth, Jiang Chen's thoughts drifted away.

As a cultivator of the soul, he was very interested in ghosts, since ghosts were also proficient in soul techniques. Perhaps he could gain some inspiration from them. In addition, he also wanted to see what the difference was between ordinary ghosts and evil spirits.

"I hope Xuan Jiaozi can gain something. If he can really find Yin Soil, he may be of great value to me. It is difficult to devour the soul of a demonic ghost, but it is different for ordinary ghosts."

"If I can really take this step, then my trip to the Western Regions will definitely yield even greater results. After all, most of the ghosts in the Western Regions today are related to the great battle five hundred years ago, and there may still be a lot of valuable things remaining in their souls."

With a soft sigh, Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze.

During this period, in addition to practicing the Hundred Rivers Meridian Flow Method to hone himself, he did not give up his research on the evil spirits. After all, with the experience of the Mist Dragon, practicing the Hundred Rivers Meridian Flow Method was more of a process of refinement and not too difficult.

Under these circumstances, he had already made some progress, but it was different from what he had originally envisioned. He had originally wanted to control the evil spirits in some way, but after several attempts, he simply couldn't do it.

Thinking this, without moving his physical body, Jiang Chen took out his divine soul from the bottom of the lake and retrieved the evil spirit once again. In an instant, a chilling aura spread throughout the lake.

"The existence of evil spirits is less like a demon and more like a weapon of war. They are born to fight, and because of this, they have no extra spirituality, making them impossible to control."

Looking at the evil spirit that resembled a wisp of black smoke, Jiang Chen frowned. This evil spirit was truly impervious to reason; the more he tried, the more he felt that way.

“The evil spirits are of a special nature and are difficult to kill by ordinary means, but they are not truly immortal. They also have a fatal weakness, which is located in their souls.”

With his divine soul power spreading, Jiang Chen easily found a curse mark deep within the soul of the evil ghost. Shaped like a blood moon, it exuded an ominous aura and was imprinted on the soul of the evil ghost.

When Jiang Chen detected the Blood Moon Curse Seal, a faint sense of fear emanated from the Fiend's soul.

Jiang Chen ignored this.

"As long as this Blood Moon Curse Seal is broken, the evil spirit will be completely destroyed and die."

As his gaze fell upon the Blood Moon Curse Mark, various thoughts flashed through Jiang Chen's mind. He had tried to study this Blood Moon Mark during this period, but the results were not significant.

The only certainty is that once this blood moon mark is broken, the evil spirit will truly die. "Is the evil spirit really a naturally mutated creature? Although this blood moon mark has created the evil spirit's special nature, making it difficult to kill, it may also be a kind of constraint on the evil spirit."

As the thoughts raced, Jiang Chen wondered whether the Blood Moon Mark was something the evil ghost was born with or something that was imprinted on it later.

If it's the former, then it's alright. Although this vital point is somewhat difficult to pinpoint, as long as it exists, there are ways to deal with it. But if it's the latter, then the situation is completely different.

"Speaking of which, there is the concept of Dao soldiers in the cultivation world. This evil ghost lives by killing, and in some ways it is similar to a Dao soldier. The only difference is that Dao soldiers do not develop personal emotions, while this evil ghost does."

"Of course, among the evil spirits, only those of higher rank can develop personal emotions. For example, this one in front of us has developed a certain level of intelligence and knows fear, but overall it is not very powerful. Its main behavior still relies on its nature."

Jiang Chen's thoughts were in turmoil, and he fell into deep thought.

"From the current perspective, I am unable to forcibly control the evil spirit. All methods are unable to bypass this mysterious Blood Moon Curse. Perhaps I should try a different approach."

"This Blood Moon Mark is extremely bloodthirsty and naturally suppresses spirituality. This should be the root cause of the Fiend's love of killing and annihilation of all life. Since it suppresses the Fiend's spirituality and makes it addicted to killing, then I will help the Fiend's spirituality grow."

"In this way, I might be able to use the spirit of the evil spirit to shake this blood moon mark."

A flash of inspiration crossed his mind. As the initial formation of the Dao Heart Demon Seed technique took shape, and he gained a deeper understanding of the Soul Technique, Jiang Chen indeed had a new idea in mind.

As soon as this thought arose, the fog in Jiang Chen's mind dissipated, and he suddenly felt enlightened.

"That's right. This Blood Moon Mark is extremely mysterious and difficult for me to break directly. Forcing it will only cause the Blood Moon Mark to shatter. But if it is the spirit of the evil ghost itself, it's different. The two are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Even if the spirit surges, it's only an internal problem and won't cause the Blood Moon Mark to collapse directly."

“It is troublesome for ordinary people to enhance the spirituality of living beings, but it is not a problem for me. After all, my soul itself has such characteristics. In fact, the spirituality of the evil spirits that have been with me has increased, but it is not obvious because the time is too short and the blood moon mark suppresses it.”

With an idea in mind, Jiang Chen suddenly saw a new possibility. Since external forces were difficult to break through, using one's own spear to attack one's own shield might not be a bad method.

With this in mind, Jiang Chen no longer hesitated, abandoned his previous idea of ​​forcibly controlling the evil spirit, and began to nurture it with his own divine soul power.

After being cleansed by Jiang Chen's divine soul power, the originally restless evil spirit gradually calmed down, curled up into a ball, and floated quietly in front of Jiang Chen.

"Compared to the Mo Yuan of the past, my grasp of my own spiritual characteristics is still somewhat lacking. Although the secret technique of 'gathering birds and beasts' is related to my spiritual characteristics, it does not address the root cause. In the future, I still need to create a divine power that directly points to spirituality, so that I can bring my spiritual characteristics to their fullest potential."

As Jiang Chen carefully sensed the changes in the evil spirit's spirituality, various thoughts flashed through his mind.

He has not yet developed the kind of supernatural power that can directly enlighten living beings and elevate their spirituality, so for now he can only use this clumsy method.

And so, as time passed, the evil spirit's spirituality grew at a slow but steady pace, while Jiang Chen's spiritual body became increasingly resilient, gradually beginning to develop more extraordinary qualities.
