An emperor in his later years is summoned by his sister to save the nation's fate.

"Ah, help—"

The group only had time to let out a short, piercing scream before the invisible tentacles forcibly dragged them into the boundless depths of darkness.

Accompanied by the chilling sound of chewing, the square fell silent once more.

This bloody demonstration of humiliation made all the Chosen Ones who had just sat down tremble, and they dared not make any further moves.

After establishing its authority, the Preaching Ghost slowly sat cross-legged and hovered in mid-air, beginning its sermon. The language it spoke was not any language of Blue Star, nor even the common language of the Xuan Tian Realm.

It is an obscure and distorted syllable that seems to resonate directly with the soul.

For the vast majority of the chosen ones, these voices were like countless flies buzzing in their heads, like listening to gibberish. Not only were they completely incomprehensible, but they also caused them annoyance and headaches.

In the corner, Xiao Fan, enduring his headache, asked in his mind, "Master, what the hell is this monster talking about?"

Within the ring, the phantom of Yao Lao's soul trembled violently, his quasi-emperor level divine soul instantly sensing this deadly danger targeting the soul.

"Block the five senses! Shut down hearing!"

The old apothecary's voice turned stern: "Xiao Fan, you must never listen to his sermon! This sermon conceals a vicious trap for the soul! If you try to understand its contents, you will surely die!"

Within Lu Xueyao's sea of ​​consciousness, Lu Li's dual pupils erupted with profound chaotic light, directly seeing through the true nature of this so-called transmission of the Dao. In Lu Li's vision, the strange transmission of the Dao appeared as if a golden lotus were blooming from its tongue, uttering mysterious sounds.

In reality, the strange syllables that floated out of its mouth were actually formed by tiny, translucent Gu worms that were invisible to the naked eye!

As the sound waves spread, these Gu worms densely burrowed into the sea of ​​consciousness between the eyebrows of everyone in the square.

"Wisdom Gu".

Lu Li sneered and recognized the origin of these things at a glance.

This was the most insidious tactic used by the lecturer named Su Mubai on this main peak of miscellaneous tasks back then! He would secretly release wisdom Gu while preaching, and once a disciple with excellent comprehension gained some insight from his teachings...

Then, taking advantage of the moment when the disciple's mind is completely open, this Wisdom Gu will directly enter the sea of ​​consciousness and greedily absorb the disciple's wisdom, and even memories!

Those who are drained of their life force will either become complete idiots or suffer severe loss of their soul and spirit, resulting in their immediate demise.

Su Mubai could then use this to continuously strengthen his divine soul.

Unexpectedly, even after this guy died and turned into a monster, he still instinctively followed the same sinister ways he had in life.

However, in Lu Li's view as a demonic cultivator, although these Wisdom Gu were insidious, now that they had become slaves of the rules, they were essentially all unclaimed supplements made from the most refined divine soul power!

"Xueyao, don't resist."

Lu Li's voice echoed in his mind: "Open your mind and listen carefully to what it is saying. The more attentive you are, the more wisdom Gu will be attracted to you."

"Won't this... be dangerous?" Lu Xueyao asked hesitantly.

"With me here, what danger could there be?"

Lu Li said arrogantly, "These Gu worms will definitely give your Myriad Souls Emperor Scripture a qualitative leap. Listen to me, lure them in, then circulate your cultivation technique and lay down an inescapable net!"

With her brother's assurance, Lu Xueyao had no more worries.

She completely relaxed and began to do her best to analyze and comprehend the obscure and strange syllables.

As expected, as Lu Xueyao displayed exceptional comprehension, the countless Wisdom Gu floating in mid-air instantly transformed into tiny, invisible specks of light, frantically surging towards her brow.

"Now! We'll make the net!" Lu Li whispered.

Lu Xueyao immediately followed the secret method of the Ten Thousand Souls Emperor Scripture, weaving her divine sense into an invisible giant net filled with devouring power in her sea of ​​consciousness!

The Wisdom Gu, which greedily rushed into Lu Xueyao's sea of ​​consciousness, crashed headlong into this giant net of divine consciousness before it even had a chance to devour Lu Xueyao's memories.

"Refine!"

The power of the Myriad Souls Emperor Scripture, which specifically counters the soul, instantly activated.

Thousands of intelligent Gu were forcibly refined into the purest divine soul essence liquid under the crushing force of this power, like rain after a long drought, frantically nourishing Lu Xueyao's divine consciousness.

With the infusion of massive amounts of divine soul power, a bright burst of divine soul light erupted from the depths of Lu Xueyao's sea of ​​consciousness!

"Buzz—!"

An illusory mark, exuding an ancient and profound aura and woven from countless intricate divine soul runes, slowly condensed and took shape in the center of her sea of ​​consciousness!

Hundred Soul Seal!

This is a sign that the Myriad Souls Emperor Scripture has entered the right track!

After condensing this Hundred Soul Seal, Lu Xueyao's spiritual power surged, and its condensation and purity far surpassed that of cultivators of the same level, even comparable to the Life Spring Realm!

Moreover, with the Hundred Soul Seal as her support, she was finally able to unleash the domineering and unparalleled divine soul secret technique recorded in the Myriad Soul Emperor Scripture!

Whether it's the single-target attack, the Divine Thrust, which can directly pierce through the enemy's sea of ​​consciousness, or the high-level control technique, the Soul-Binding Curse, which can manipulate a wide area and entangle the enemy's soul, she can cast them with ease!

During the long process of preaching, a strange change suddenly occurred in the square.

"Hehehe...hehehehe...I get it! I finally understand!"

Not far from Lu Xueyao, a chosen one from a small European country suddenly stood up.

His comprehension was exceptional; he actually understood some of the profound mysteries in the strange sermon without being on guard.

But the next second, his eyes suddenly became empty and vacant.

Saliva dripped uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth, and he began to dance wildly in place, emitting a chillingly silly laugh.

His spiritual power, along with his memories, was completely drained in an instant by the Wisdom Gu that had entered his sea of ​​consciousness!

Immediately afterwards, two more Chosen Ones fell into the same state of madness.

This scene sent a chill down everyone's spine.

It's okay if you don't understand; understanding it would make you an idiot.

Lu Li sat in his sea of ​​consciousness, his gaze piercing through the void, looking at Li Qingyue not far away.

He discovered that this Primordial Saintess was indeed a peerless genius with the Taiyin Body, possessing an astonishingly high level of comprehension.

Her brows were furrowed, and she was almost completely comprehending the core rules expounded by the Daoist Gu! If this continued, the massive amount of Wisdom Gu would inevitably break through her sea of ​​consciousness defenses in an instant.

Without any hesitation, Lu Li immediately sent a wisp of his divine sense to transmit a message, which exploded in his mind.

"Li Qingyue, stop your comprehension immediately!"

"This preaching contains a hidden poison of wisdom, specifically designed to harvest the souls of those with exceptional comprehension. You must immediately calm your mind and let it go in one ear and out the other."

As long as you don't try to understand it, and don't let it leave a mark on your heart, the Gu worms won't be able to lock onto your soul, and naturally they can't harm you!
