Chapter 543: Cold Ming Hibernates, Soul Sutra and Soul Seal
Han Yi did not immediately track down Wan Ming's incarnation, but went to Tianzhu Hall first, and exchanged the immortal marks he obtained from breaking into the Void Tower for two sixth-level immortal swords and five fifth-level immortal swords.
He planned to upgrade the configuration of the sword world, plus the original three fifth-level swords, to collect ten immortal swords. Even if the sword world was only fifth-level, it would definitely be enough to kill the peak golden immortal if taken alone.
Then.
He went back to Qingshu Mountains again.
He delivered a batch of immortal swords that he had eliminated to Xuandan Sect, and asked about the development of the sect. He found that except for Lian Tingxi and the other two elders who had transformed into gods to be promoted to semi-immortals, there was no other substantial progress.
He Fengdi, who was promoted to semi-immortal at the beginning, was still a semi-immortal, and he was just an ordinary semi-immortal, too far away from the true immortal.
Han Yi was not in a hurry. He calculated that with so many resources piled in, it would take at least three thousand years, and at most one thousand years, for the sect to have a true immortal.
After that, as long as he is still alive, or Yuan Hong goes one step further and is promoted to Golden Immortal with a special Immortal Puppet body, he can protect the sect. On this basis, there will definitely be a steady stream of True Immortals emerging.
In fact.
There is another important reason for the rapid development of Xuandan Sect in recent years, that is, the protection of Yuanshu Daochang. Han Yi was the top of Suizhu Xuanxian List before. Such a reputation has a huge invisible impact on the sect.
In addition, Han Yi came from Yuanshu Daochang and has a good relationship with Jinming Taoist. The Golden Immortal elders in the Daochang have a tendency to take special care of Xuandan Sect.
After returning to Qingshu Mountains, Han Yi went to Yuhu Fairyland again and replenished some divine power crystals in the divine power world at the bottom of Yuhu.
After being fully prepared, he went to Jiulei Fairyland.
This fairyland is located east of Suizhu. There are two Daochangs in the fairyland, namely Taihao Daochang and Hongyun Daochang.
When Han Yi was still in the Nascent Soul stage, he took over the mission of the Immortal Court and came to the Nine Thunders Immortal Realm. At that time, he went to the Canglong Immortal City of the Taihao Dojo.
This time, he went to the Hanming Immortal City of the Hongyun Dojo.
In the jade slip information given by the Immortal Lord Yuanshu, there is an introduction to the Soul Tower.
This is one of the three most powerful dark forces in the Daluo Immortal Realm, and its tentacles are spread all over the Immortal Realm, because the main business of the Soul Tower is intelligence.
Collect intelligence, sell intelligence, and use intelligence to guide various forces to achieve unknown goals.
Among them, many lower-level organizations of the Soul Tower are not called Soul Tower, but have other organizational names, such as the Nether Soul Tower, the Ten Thousand Souls Pavilion, the Soul Palace, etc.
When Han Yi was in the Nascent Soul stage, he used the intelligence of the Nether Soul Tower to obtain the whereabouts of the Gu Clan, a subordinate race of the Zhijie, and went to encircle and suppress it.
Most of the immortal cultivators in the Soul Tower are proficient in soul arts, and are good at practicing the art of soul transformation, soul division, and soul control. They are very powerful in obtaining intelligence.
The owner of the Soul Tower, Wanming Immortal Venerable, has thousands of souls, and he cannot be killed no matter how hard he tries.
And in the intelligence.
In Hanming Immortal City, there is a lower-level organization of the Soul Tower and a stronghold of the Soul Palace.
Speaking of the Soul Palace.
In the Yuheng Realm, there was such an organization, which was one of the four holy places of the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom at that time.
And the immortal path chosen by Han Yi is mainly based on the Nine-Layer Soul Tower of the Soul Palace Secret.
After becoming a true immortal, because of taking into account the frontal combat power, his practice in the spirit and soul was gradually leveled.
As for Han Yi's visit to the Soul Palace stronghold this time, he was naturally prepared to sneak into it, step by step approach the upper-level organization, and obtain clues about the incarnation of Wanming.
This road is also one of the breakthroughs chosen by other immortals before. After all, there are many organizations in the Soul Tower, and the building is a mixed bag, most of them are peripheral cultivators or immortals.
According to rumors, the real members of the Soul Tower are all immortals above the level of True Immortal, and more than 50% of them are incarnations of Wanming Immortal Venerable. However, these incarnations are hidden behind the scenes and do not actually appear. The operation of the Soul Tower basically relies on those immortals in the Soul Tower who are not incarnations of Wanming.
In addition.
Not everyone can become the incarnation of Wanming Immortal Venerable. All of his incarnations need to merge consciousness at the moment of becoming an immortal. Therefore, the immortals in the Soul Tower organization are not worried that they will suddenly become the incarnation of Wanming.
The requirements for the incarnation of Wanming are quite harsh. It requires the matching of the characteristics of the soul and spirit. Only one in a billion can survive. Otherwise, the incarnations of Wanming are all over the immortal world, and Daluo has long been owned by Wanming Immortal Venerable. He can also be promoted to Daozu or even Tianzun.
Even, there are many low-level cultivators outside the Soul Tower who want to gain favor and become the incarnation of Wanming, but basically they are not qualified.
And in the jade slip given by Yuanshu Immortal Lord, there is also a very important piece of information.
That is, all the immortals and cultivators of the Soul Tower and its lower-level organizations, whether formal members or members of the lower-level inner and outer circles, are required to practice a soul art when they enter.
The name of the soul art is the Soul Sutra.
Intelligence shows that the Soul Sutra has ninety-nine levels, and only Soul Tower members above the True Immortal Realm can practice to the tenth level.
Whether it is the Wanming Pavilion, the Nether Soul Tower, or the Soul Hall, its internal and outer members are the same.
In addition, practicing the Soul Sutra requires a soul guide.
From the jade slip information, the style of the soul guide is not fixed. It may be a pill, a spiritual weapon, or a spiritual stone.
According to the investigation, the soul guide can only be made by the Immortal Lord-level Wanming incarnation.
Soul guides are not uncommon. Although the Immortal Court can find clues to soul guides, it cannot be traced back, nor can it be used to find the Wanming incarnation.
Once the soul guide and the Wanming incarnation are formed, they are independent and there is no causal relationship. No immortal art at this stage can track them.
This is also the trouble of the Soul Tower. It is one of the reasons why the Wanming Immortal Venerable is elusive but knows countless news in the immortal world and stirs up the situation in the immortal world.
The Soul Sutra and Soul Guide can also be found in the Suizhu Immortal Court.
But Han Yi did not take it, nor did he practice the Soul Sutra, because he was worried that if he practiced the Soul Sutra, he would not be able to sneak into the Soul Tower.
Moreover, before this, there were many immortals who used the intercepted Soul Guide to practice the Soul Sutra, but these immortals who practiced the Soul Sutra could not find any clues.
In Han Yi's view, this is equivalent to illegal access.
If the Soul Tower is likened to a network, Wanming Immortal Venerable is naturally standing at the top, manipulating the network behind the scenes. Below him are the official members of the Soul Tower. Some of these members are his incarnations, and some are not, but they all occupy more important nodes.
Further down, the formal members control the lower-level organizations, such as the Wanhun Pavilion, the Nether Soul Building, and the Soul Hall. There are fewer formal members of the Soul Hall in these lower-level organizations, and there are also peripheral personnel who rely on the lower-level organizations to seek cultivation resources or achieve their own goals.
This is the structure of the Soul Tower.
And such a structure has another most incredible feature, that is, it is feasible to control from top to bottom, but it is completely impossible to trace from bottom to top, even with the power of the Dao Ancestor, it is impossible to trace.
This top-down control is most likely based on the use of Soul Guide and Soul Sutra. Under normal circumstances, people who practice Soul Sutra, join the lower-level organization Soul Hall, or finally climb to the real members of the Soul Tower, are all recognized by Wanming Immortal Venerable.
And intercepting Soul Guide and practicing Soul Sutra without authorization is illegal access, and naturally has no effect.
No wonder Wanming Immortal Venerable is feared by all the major forces and Dao Ancestors in the Immortal World. Such a system and structure cannot be eradicated, but it is hard to prevent.
After Han Yi entered Hanming Immortal City, he suddenly became a half-immortal.
Although the Immortal Art of Fetal Transformation is still at the fourth level, it is very close to the fifth level. Once this Tiangang Immortal Art derived from the panel is used on him, it is not inferior to the sixth-level Tiangang Immortal Art of other Golden Immortals.
If he is not an Immortal Lord, Han Yi is confident that he can hide the truth by performing Fetal Transformation.
He rented a cave near the Soul Palace stronghold marked in the jade slip information given by Yuanshu Immortal Lord, and began to pay attention to this stronghold at all times.
The information in the jade slip given by Yuanshu Immortal Lord includes countless Soul Tower strongholds, and the stronghold of Hanming Immortal City is not very eye-catching.
The reason why Han Yi chose this place was random.
He could not analyze anything from the information given in the jade slip, so he had to randomly choose a stronghold and try to use it as a breakthrough point to step into the Soul Tower.
His approach is a routine approach, and many Golden Immortals who took on this task in the Immortal Court also did the same.
Of course.
Most of the Golden Immortals did not gain much. In the end, even if the base was eradicated, the impact on the Soul Tower was almost zero. After a period of time, there would be peripheral members with resources, returning to the immortal city where the base was found, and opening another base.
This is not a provocation.
For the Soul Tower, this is just a means to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the major forces in the immortal world.
Therefore, for so many tens of thousands of years, even the several major immortal courts hated the Soul Tower, but they could do nothing.
Half a month later.
A half-immortal entered this base, and the half-immortal left after a while. Han Yi followed the half-immortal and easily pulled him into the world of the divine orifice, and obtained the way and means of the half-immortal to buy intelligence.
That's right.
If the response method is not right, the base of the lower-level organization of the Soul Tower will not sell the intelligence.
Han Yi did not intend to force it this time, because the jade slip information showed that those Golden Immortals who came by force could only destroy the base at most, and it would be difficult to trace back to the real Soul Tower.
The Soul Palace base here should be the branch of the Soul Palace. Going up further, it is the Soul Palace headquarters. Then, the connection of the Soul Palace headquarters is the real Soul Tower.
After obtaining the contact information of the Soul Palace base in Hanming Immortal City, seven days later, Han Yi went to the base with the appearance and breath of this half-immortal to obtain information.
The last time this half-immortal submitted the required information requirements, and today is the agreed day for the information transaction.
This half-immortal is a middle-aged man with a slightly vicissitudes of life, deep eyes, and a cold expression.
His name is Yao Zhang.
The real Yao Zhang was temporarily locked up in the world of the divine orifice by Han Yi, and Han Yi took Yao Zhang's soul and breath, and used the secret method of the immortal way to perform fetal transformation and attach it to his own soul. At the same time, Han Yi also used the method in the Beimang Immortal Sutra to temporarily transfer the cause and effect of Yao Zhang to himself, ensuring that even if it is a golden immortal, even if the cause and effect tracing is performed, the servant's fortune-telling technique cannot find any problems.
In the base, Han Yi had a cold expression. After taking the information, he left without saying a word.
Half a month later.
Han Yi, disguised as Yao Zhang, returned to Hanming Immortal City with serious injuries, and then came to this base. This time, he also came to buy information, but this time he bought information on how to join the Soul Palace.
This surprised the deacon of the Soul Palace in this base.
This was the first time he had encountered the method of buying information on how to join the Soul Palace from the Soul Palace base.
The deacon raised his head and asked, and Han Yi said solemnly:
"I have killed Han Ge, but the head of the Han family is a Xuanxian of Taihao Daochang. If I want to live, I can only join the Soul Palace."
"Only by joining the Soul Palace can I have the possibility of further improvement in strength and exterminate the Han family."
Although Han Yi's statement was not full of mistakes, it was not perfect either.
But what he wanted was just an excuse, through which he could get in touch with the higher-level immortals in the Soul Palace, and then slowly find a way from there.
Many cultivators and immortals who joined the Soul Palace naturally did not do so to be loyal to the Immortal Master Wanming, but they all had their own purposes.
He knew from the beginning that it would be impossible to track down the incarnation of the Immortal Master Wanming in one fell swoop. This was a long process and could not be rushed.
Moreover, it was possible that in the end, nothing would be gained, which was why the Immortal Master Yuanshu gave him an unlimited deadline.
This Soul Palace stronghold was a business pavilion that sold spiritual tools. Under normal circumstances, the cultivators who came in were all buying and selling spiritual tools and treasures. Only by using special conversation methods would the shopkeeper act like a Soul Palace steward.
At this moment, after listening to Han Yi's words, the Soul Palace steward wrote down his request and replied:
"This information requires 150,000 semi-immortal spirit stones. As usual, pay the spirit stones first."
Han Yi hesitated for a moment, but still paid the money. His hesitation was due to his substitution of Yao Zhang's character and financial resources.
This amount of money was not even a drop in the bucket for Han Yi, but it was almost his entire fortune for Yao Zhang.
The Soul Hall steward said to Han Yi: "Come back in seven days."
Then he put away the notebook he carried with him.
At this time, a god of transformation just stepped into the store. He immediately showed a gentle smile like spring breeze and greeted him.
"Sir, there are many types of spiritual treasures in the store. What type of spiritual treasure do you want? Just tell me as much as possible. I will definitely satisfy you."
...
Han Yi walked out of the fairy store and returned to the cave rented by Yao Zhang.
On the third day, he closed his eyes in the cave, his breath was frivolous, and he looked seriously injured. This was Yao Zhang's normal state of practice.
In fact, Han Yi was in the fairy world, using fairy power to simulate fairy arts to advance his progress.
But at this time, he knew that outside the cave, a true fairy appeared. The obscure fairy consciousness swept over his body, explored a few breaths, and then left again.
Another half hour passed, and the true immortal returned again, stayed for a few breaths, and left again.
Han Yi was unmoved.
Since he was going to play a seriously injured half-immortal, he would not show any abnormality casually.
Even if the golden immortal came to investigate, it would be difficult to tell whether he was real or not.
Seven days later.
He walked into the immortal shop again, and the Soul Hall steward handed him a jade slip of cultivation method.
"To join the Soul Hall, you need to practice a soul technique. The name of the soul technique is very simple, it is called the Soul Sutra."
"The Soul Sutra has ninety-nine levels."
"Don't think too much, cultivators below the immortal can only practice to the ninth level at most."
"Your realm is half-immortal. If you can practice to the third level, you are qualified to join the Soul Hall."
"In addition, practicing the Soul Sutra requires soul guidance."
The Soul Hall steward took out another white pill and handed it to Han Yi.
"This pill is the Soul Guide. You can take it when practicing the Soul Sutra."
"Remember, the Soul Sutra can only be comprehended once. After one time, it will be broken. There is only one chance. Don't try it lightly. Be sure to be prepared."
"When you practice the third level of the Soul Sutra, someone will contact you and let you join the Soul Palace."
The Soul Palace steward waved his hand and let Han Yi leave.
Although Han Yi knew about the Soul Sutra and the Soul Guide in advance, he still showed a hesitant look, but at the signal of the Soul Palace steward, he still showed a resolute expression of believing in it and giving it a try.
After Han Yi left, the Soul Palace steward shook his head slightly:
"The third level of the Soul Sutra is not so easy to reach."
"I have been in this base for so many years. There are at least nine thousand semi-immortals who want to join the Soul Palace. In the end, only ten or so people got what they wanted." (End of this chapter)
