Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 507: Chapter 250: Inside the Soul Hall

”Guard the Holy Spirit?”

”That’s right, senior might not yet know the exact structure of the [Soul Hall], this is also information our Jiang Family only recently obtained.”

Chu Xiu nodded, the four great families have traditionally helped each other, the [Heroic Spirits] who obtained the maps from the other two families were likely in contact with the four great families, so it’s not surprising they shared some intelligence.

”According to several seniors’ speculation, during the ancient disaster that the Ghost King unleashed, most of the power should have gathered in the [Soul Hall], relying on the Holy Spirit to guard it.”

The so-called Holy Spirit is a special kind of soul body created by the [Exorcist Civilization], capable of existing for a long time, practically immortal and indestructible. Even if this soul body is destroyed, a [Soul Core] will still remain deep within the [Soul Hall] and slowly recover its energy.”

Jiang Miaoyin’s words made Chu Xiu instantly understand, because the ghosts in his Soul Banner also have the trait of a [Soul Core], even if the soul body is destroyed, as long as there is enough soul nourishment, it can recover, which is why Chu Xiu is willing to let his Ghostly Legion self-destruct.”

She continued, ”Perhaps due to the [Soul Core] not having the breath of life, it did not get hunted by the attacking ghosts. In the [Soul Hall] of the cities where the seniors went, the Holy Spirit’s soul cores were not destroyed, and the guard Holy Spirits have gradually recovered and reborn over time.”

”I just saw senior possessing soul-type summoned creatures, I’m guessing you came here intending to refine the ghosts to enhance your own summoned creatures, right?”

Chu Xiu nodded, while the Soul Banner is far more miraculous than ordinary summoned creatures, this assumption isn’t wrong.

Jiang Miaoyin went on, ”The soul bodies of these guard Holy Spirits have been completely solidified into a special form, they are said to be spirit bodies, but actually more akin to fighting with a soul body as a [puppet]. To refine them, one must break their solidified structure, which would severely damage the soul body, so even with a high tier, they are useless to you.”

”But I can use special means to transform them into Curse Spirits, then leverage my talent for [Curse Spirit Fusion (SS)] to forcibly erase their solidified structure, so this item can only maximize its value by me, a humble woman.”

”Furthermore, according to the information from our clan, during that great disaster, almost all powerhouses used the Soul Hall as the last place to guard the city, so there are bound to be many dead high-tier souls accumulated within the Soul Hall, compared to these large numbers of soul bodies, those Holy Spirit guards are insignificant.”

”Moreover, there’s another benefit to cooperating with me...”

”What is it?” Chu Xiu asked.

Jiang Miaoyin blinked mischievously, ”It means the humble woman here will owe you a favor.”

Chu Xiu: ”...”

”What kind of expression is that, senior? The Jiang Family’s favors are very valuable, and after all, I just shared so much gossip with you, if not meritorious, then it was hard work, right?”

Chu Xiu: ”...”

”If not, I could dance a bit for you?”

Jiang Miaoyin lifted her skirt lightly and twirled around. Her posture was quite girlish, yet her figure was voluptuous, blending girlhood purity and a grown woman’s allure into a perfect combination.

But Chiu Xiu remained indifferent, only raising a hand in resignation, ”Just as you said, let’s proceed quickly.”

”Hehe.” Jiang Miaoyin smiled slyly, clasped her hands in salute, ”As you command!”

As she finished speaking, her initially clasped hands swiftly crossed one another, her fingers moving swiftly like nimble butterflies changing gestures, as the roar of an ancient fierce beast boomed in the field, a massive creature emerged from behind Jiang Miaoyin.

This creature’s entire body was a deep, eerie green, exuding a chilling transparency, like looking through jelly to see its internals, having no facial features or limbs, it appeared like an impossibly large worm, twisting its body and flying toward the city’s center.

And in flight, from its belly, smaller versions resembling its appearance yet much smaller, continuously dropped, quickly scuttling away in all directions upon landing.

”This Curse Spirit is called ’Instantaneous’, and the areas it and its offspring pass through can form spreading domains, within which I can know all information.”

Chu Xiu glanced over, he noticed this so-called domain was somewhat similar to the scattered divine sense, the soul of this monster called Instantaneous was extremely strong, using a divine sense-like method to probe around, while also having the ability to transmit information upwards.

”But in terms of fineness and strength, it’s far inferior to my divine sense, it feels at most equivalent to a B-level divine sense talent.”

”It’s a pity I’m only at the General Tier, the coverage of my divine sense is too small, when I reach [Heroic Spirit], I could find the Soul Hall’s location just with a sweep of my divine sense.”

Of course, Jiang Miaoyin, as an assistant for [Heroic Spirit], naturally had her advantages. This peculiar Curse Spirit moved very fast and could even pass through solid matter and go underground.

She wasn’t boasting, not even five minutes later, Jiang Miaoyin’s eyes lit up, ”Found it.”

In the distance, countless smaller Instantaneous creatures assembled into a huge green glowing bat.

Chu Xiu slightly wavered, his body vanished from its original place, arriving at the target above within a few breaths, as the delayed booming sound echoed, a vacuum tunnel appeared in the path he flew through!

And almost the instant he landed, dozens of figures lunged at him!

Before he could make a move, he heard a delicate shout above his head, as numerous eerie green flames descended from above, blasting all those figures away.
