Chapter 14 Surrender! The First Soul!
"Sizzle!"
A tearing sound rang out, and the Dark Night Raven's sharp claws sliced through the Shadow King's descending hand, a hint of mockery flashing in its blood-red eyes.
It could even tear apart a hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, let alone the human Soul Master in front of it. It then prepared to attack Jiang Xiu again.
Although it has only eight hundred years of cultivation, it possesses the most advanced bloodline. Although it has not fully awakened its spirit, it still has a certain level of intelligence.
It knew perfectly well that as long as it kept struggling and intimidating the human in front of it, the strange ritual would be canceled, just as it had done last time.
But just as it was about to launch its next attack, the hand that had just been torn apart miraculously recovered completely.
Caught off guard, in just a moment, it was grabbed by the neck, and at that moment, the golden runes in the six-pointed star array surged into its body once again.
"This shadow spirit can recover instantly; the original spirit is truly powerful."
Seeing this, Leng Yaozhu looked surprised and sighed softly.
Although the Body Sect has declined, the power of the Body Martial Soul is undeniable, after all, the founder of their Spirit Pagoda also possessed the Body Martial Soul.
"Xiao Xiu's shadow spirit is more like a detached spirit. Moreover, as long as the main body is not damaged, how could the shadow shatter? It can be restored simply by consuming soul power."
Hearing Leng Yaozhu's praise, Mu Ye's expression showed a hint of pride, after all, Jiang Xiu was their Body Sect's hope for the return of the king.
"Come here!"
Jiang Xiu controlled the Shadow Monarch, gripping the Dark Raven's neck with both hands and pulling it in front of him.
The Dark Raven struggled incessantly, its claws flashing as its ultimate dark attribute soul power burst forth. But every time it caused damage, the Shadow King would instantly recover.
The Dark Raven's attacks are powerful, but its defense is its weakness. Moreover, during the spirit transfer ritual, it has to constantly resist the golden runes that enter its body.
Soon, the Dark Night Raven was brought before Jiang Xiu, but its dark red eyes were still full of arrogance and defiance as it looked at Jiang Xiu.
Look me in the eye!
Jiang Xiu showed no expression, but simply looked at Dark Night Raven, making its eyes meet his bloodshot pupils, and said in a low voice, word by word.
"Hey!"
The Dark Night Raven let out a sharp cry, and thus confronted Jiang Xiu. As long as it persisted, victory would still belong to it.
"This silly bird is really stubborn. If this continues, Xiao Xiu's soul power will definitely be exhausted first, and then the spirit transfer ceremony will fail."
Makino lowered his gaze and muttered in a low voice.
"Otherwise, why wouldn't it be called the Unyielding Spirit? The Spirit Pagoda has a total of ninety-nine Unyielding Spirits, of which only three have been successfully absorbed by Soul Masters."
Leng Yaozhu said without any surprise.
"He must have another way. After all, my intuition is right, that peculiar pressure..."
Na'er's eyes flashed with a sharp light as she carefully observed Jiang Xiu within the six-pointed star formation.
"Do you think you can get rid of it this way? Submit to me, and I will lead you to greater heights."
Jiang Xiu looked at the Dark Raven in front of him, but before it could answer, dark power gradually surged from his body, like a drop of ink falling into the six-pointed star array, instantly spreading out.
"King's Domain! Expand!"
At the same time, with a low shout, Jiang Xiu's blood-red eyes flashed with majesty. The moment the Dark Night Raven was enveloped by the Monarch's Domain, an inexplicable pressure slammed into its soul.
Even though its heart was filled with defiance and arrogance, it began to crumble in the face of this oppressive aura. A trace of clear stupidity appeared in its blood-red eyes, which were full of violence, and even its constantly waving claws slowed down by half a beat.
"This is actually an innate martial soul domain. It seems that Your Majesty has taken on a good disciple."
Leng Yaozhu's pretty face changed slightly, and a look of shock flashed in her eyes. The higher one's cultivation level, the more one can understand the meaning of this.
"So-so, so-so. Xiao Xiu's talent is only slightly better than that of an ordinary Soul Master."
With a humble expression, Mu Ye waved his hand and said that although he did not know the function of Jiang Xiu's innate domain beforehand, it seemed that he was sure of success.
Leng Yaozhu shook her head slightly. If Mu Ye hadn't been unable to suppress the upward curve of his lips, she would have really believed it. But a glint of light also flashed in her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"So this is the source of the oppressive aura, but why can't I see through this martial spirit?"
Upon seeing this scene, Na'er felt the Silver Dragon King bloodline within her stirring, and she suppressed it while pondering.
"Still not giving in!"
As the Dark Night Raven's eyes gradually cleared and its indomitable spirit dissipated, Jiang Xiu let out another low shout, his voice like that of an ancient monarch, piercing straight into the Dark Night Raven's soul.
"Gah!"
This time, the Dark Raven did not struggle. Instead, it lowered its noble head and gently rested it under Jiang Xiu's outstretched left hand, indicating its submission.
"Now that you have submitted, why not merge with me quickly?"
A hint of satisfaction appeared in Jiang Xiu's eyes. He finally understood the suppression that Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King had on those beast spirit masters. It was simply simple and powerful.
However, using the Monarch's Domain also took a toll on him.
"Hey!"
After a cry, the Dark Night Raven transformed into a cloud of black mist and merged into the Shadow King's body. The moment its body completely disappeared into the Shadow King's body, all the energy converged into Jiang Xiu's original body.
"Buzz!"
As time passed, a yellow spirit ring slowly rose beneath Jiang Xiu's feet, and the edges of this spirit ring were already faintly tinged with purple, making it very close to a thousand-year spirit ring.
Jiang Xiu's body also emitted three soft popping sounds, like popping beans, as his soul power directly advanced to level thirteen.
But before Jiang Xiu could check, he felt a faint message coming from his spiritual sea. The source of this message was his shadow that had fallen into the abyss plane.
It was as if his shadow had also broken through some kind of constraint...
"Not bad, not bad, that's how a successor of my Body Sect should be."
The spirit transfer ceremony was successfully completed. The six-pointed star array slowly disappeared, revealing Jiang Xiu's figure for a brief moment. Mu Ye then stepped forward to examine Jiang Xiu carefully to see if he had been harmed.
"Your Majesty, I see that your spiritual power has reached the Spiritual Connection Realm. Why don't you stay in the Spirit Transmission Tower today and enter the Spirit Ascension Platform with Na'er tomorrow to increase the age of your soul rings to a thousand years?"
At this moment, Leng Yaozhu stepped forward and smiled slightly.
The moment Jiang Xiu broke through, his mental strength also increased. Although it was only for a moment, Leng Yaozhu still felt it.
What she didn't know was that Jiang Xiu hadn't just broken through to the Spiritual Realm, but was at the Innate Spiritual Realm.
"this……"
"Of course, that's no problem, right, nephew?"
Just as Mu Ye hesitated, Han Tianyi's eyes flashed, and he agreed, while giving Mu Ye a look.
"Ah...right, no problem. We need to go to the Ascension Platform anyway, so it's convenient to be here."
Although Mu Ye didn't understand why his uncle had agreed, he believed that his uncle wouldn't harm him.
"See you tomorrow."
Seeing that Han Tianyi agreed, Leng Yaozhu smiled again.
"See you tomorrow."
Han Tianyi nodded slightly, then led Mu Ye and Jiang Xiu out of the Soul Spirit Small World.
After the three left, Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes were filled with contemplation as she murmured to herself.
"Perhaps the Body Sect really can be revived once again..."
Na'er stayed quietly beside Leng Yaozhu, her eyes flickering slightly, lost in thought.
……
"Muye, the deputy tower master is intentionally trying to befriend our Body Sect, and his purpose is probably because he has seen Xiaoxiu's talent."
Han Tianyi led Mu Ye and Jiang Xiu to his office, and after asking them to sit down, he spoke after a moment's thought.
"Yes, Uncle-Master, I understand."
Mu Ye nodded slightly. He had already figured it out on the way. When their Body Sect fell into decline, although these major powers didn't say anything on the surface, they didn't have high hopes for them behind the scenes.
This can be considered their first step back to the top.
"By the way, Xiao Xiu, what's your first soul skill? A soul skill from the Dark Night Raven, which possesses the attributes of extreme darkness and time, shouldn't be bad, right?"
Mu Ye asked softly, and Han Tianyi's gaze also fell on Jiang Xiu.
Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and said with a hint of excitement in his tone.
"Not weak at all. The first soul skill that Dark Night Raven gave me was a soul skill with the attribute of time..."
"It should be called... Time Stop!"
