In the stone hall, all of the luckily survived imprisoned warriors from the Endless Sea displayed a trace of elation on their faces. They looked towards Shi Yan with grateful eyes.
After Gu Ling Long and Qu Yan Qing had known Shi Yan had saved those warriors from YaJi’s hands, their thoughts about Shi Yan also changed a little bit.
However, Shi Yan’s eyes remained emotionless. After telling Yi Cu Bi to bring more food the next time, he turned around and talked to the warriors in the cage,
I have saved your lives. You will just be a little bit less miserable in my hands, but the consequences will be the same.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of those warriors in the cage dramatically changed.
What do you want?
Gu Ling Long quietly clenched her teeth.
They are all in danger like us. Do you want to kill them?
My cultivation requires some living people. They are just objects for me to cultivate. In my eyes, they are already dead.
Shi Yan coldly laughed and did not say anything further. He deliberately sat down, ignoring the others’ vengeful eyes.
His soul consciousness slightly flicked. Shi Yan suddenly stared at one of the skinny warriors from the Gu family in the cage.
Being scrutinized, that warrior’s body trembled and suddenly grabbed his head, screaming painfully.
What have you done to me?
Shi Yan was motionless and continued enhancing his soul consciousness’ force. The soul consciousness had intruded that warrior’s brain and moved inside to search for YaJi’s soul Formation Technique that had been placed inside that warrior.
Shi Yan, what are you doing after all?
He Qing Man could not stand but shout. She continued,
Everyone boards the same boat, facing the pagan tribes’ threats. We should unite to deal with them. Don’t you remember the old resentments?
Qu Yan Qing and Gu Ling Long both sharply criticized him.
However, it seemed that Shi Yan did not hear them. He focused on using his soul consciousness to encroach on the warrior’s brain, shifting around to search for his host soul’s location and features, trying to find out where YaJi had initially put his Formation technique.
During this period, thanks to the Demonic Sound Clan’s Seven Secret Scriptures, Shi Yan had a thorough understanding about the spiritual Upanishads which help him have completely removed the Spirit Seed that Yi Tian Mo had planted in his host soul and thus have escaped from Yi Tian Mo’s soul oppression.
After Shi Yan had killed Duo Long and returned to the Ancient City, Yi Tian Mo had discreetly affected his soul. Yi Tian Mo’s soul accomplishment was extremely exceptional. He had secretly planted a Spirit Seed in Shi Yan’s host soul without Shi Yan’s awareness.
Yi Tian Mo had spared his life because he believed he could have had controlled Shi Yan at any given time through that Spirit Seed.
In fact, Shi Yan had vaguely speculated that Yi Tian Mo had done something to him, but he hadn’t been sure.
However, as he had recently received the Seven Secret Soul Scriptures of the Demonic Sound Clan, he had gained the profound understanding about different kinds of the magical, spiritual Upanishads of the Demonic Sound Clan after studying them day and night. Until then, he had realized he could have had been killed by Yi Tian Mo earlier.
To prevent himself from being the others’ puppet during the critical moments, he still kept studying the essence of the Secret Soul Scriptures of the Demonic Sound Clan.
Eventually, after he had sent his host soul to the Sea of Consciousness and completely relied on his new soul perception, he had found the black Spirit Seed. He then used the force created by the unity of the soul consciousness and the fire power of the Heaven Flame to burn the Spirit Seed down.
After escaping from the latent danger of Yi Tian Mo’s spirit seed, Shi Yan suddenly felt that different magical souls of the Demonic Sound Clan were peculiar and terrifying. To prevent a similar incident from occurring, he needed to perceive the spiritual Upanishads more profoundly. That was why he had the intentions to study it deeper.
If he wanted to have a significant improvement on the spiritual Upanishads, relying only on his own was obviously not enough. Anyway, his knowledge about the spiritual Upanishads was still ambiguous. There were many things that he did not understand thoroughly; and if he had used himself in conducting the experiments, he would perhaps have vanished his soul negligently.
Using others’ souls for the experiment could help avoid some unforeseen occurrences of his soul. That was why he had asked for those warriors and Pan Zhe to study further with.
As his soul consciousness got into that warrior’s head, Shi Yan slightly triggered his mind. His soul consciousness was now divided into ten of millions of flows that quickly moved inside of that guy’s head to understand his brain’s complicated structure first.
After an unknown amount of time, Shi Yan’s soul consciousness in that guy’s head gradually got weakened. When his soul consciousness almost reached that warrior’s host soul, the warrior’s host soul suddenly emitted a spiral wave and exploded.
Boom!
Shi Yan could sense the powerful explosive sound coming out from that warrior.
As soon as the explosive sound echoed, Shi Yan hurriedly retreated his soul consciousness in fear.
Gu Ke!
Gu Ling Long roared an ear-piercing sound.
Shi Yan stared at that gaunt warrior with his eye wide open. He could see that guy’s eyes and nose were bleeding. His face’s expression was heart-rending, his pupils were enlarged. He was dead.
Shi Yan, you have done another good deed.
Gu Ling Long was like a little tigress showing her fangs and claws, jumping towards Shi Yan.
You have to pay soul for soul. The bastard like you is worthy of having thousands of slashes. You will not have a decent death.
Get the hell out of my way.
Shi Yan angrily raised his arm releasing one strike.
Gu Ling Long’s petite body was pushed back by an invisible force. She kept rolling on the ground until hitting the corner of the wall of the next stone hall. As she stood up, her face was full of dust with a blowzy appearance. She completely lost her usual noble dignity.
Shi Yan, what you’ve done is very cruel.
Cao Zhi Lan let out a long sigh, shook her head, and said,
You could have just killed them directly. Why did you need to torture them, use them as objects for your cultivation? This is really, really …
I didn’t kill him.
Shi Yan laughed coldly,
The Demonic Sound Clan has put a Formation Technique in his soul. My soul consciousness has entered his head but hasn’t approached his soul yet. Then, the Formation Technique exploded crushing his soul. The one who killed him is the Demonic Sound Clan who had activated that Formation Technique.
Cao Zhi Lan was dumbstruck; she hesitated for a while before saying,
If you didn’t send your soul consciousness into his head, the Formation Technique would not have been scattered, and he would not have died.
The consequences are the same. If the Formation Technique exists and the opponent wants him to die, he won’t be able to resist. I’ve used him as an object for my studies of the spiritual Upanishads. I would perhaps find a way to break the Formation Technique. Although some people probably have to die, I believe as long as I have a thorough understanding of the Upanishads, I will be able to break those Formation Techniques.
Shi Yan harrumphed and then continued,
They will die sooner or later anyway. Dying sooner probably still has a little value; it is a lucky thing. I haven’t considered them as human beings. If you can also think the same way, you will not be so broken-hearted anymore.
After talking, Shi Yan continued his studies without caring about Cao Zhi Lan anymore.
The four warriors of the Gu family had become Shi Yan’s objects for his soul cultivation within two days. Their souls had exploded to dead one by one.
Gu Ling Long still wanted to risk her life with Shi Yan, but Cao Zhi Lan had advised her not to do so.
Gu Ling Long’s pretty face was ferocious. She kept screaming and cursing Shi Yan not to have a decent death. She threatened that once she went back to the Endless Sea, she would use all sorts of different brutal ways to torture him. Every time that Shi Yan was irritated because of her words, he angrily tore apart a piece of her clothes to teach her a lesson.
Until her snow-white skin was gradually exposed including her big breasts, Gu Ling Long was finally frightened enough, but she was still outraged. She temporarily kept silent and stayed at the side looking at Shi Yan with the intense resentment. She looked like she wanted to devour him whole.
Shi Yan continued his study on understanding the souls.
His soul consciousness once again intruded the brain of another one of the Gu family warriors. This time, he divided his soul consciousness into three flows and also added his soul imprint into them. The three currents of the soul consciousness formed a small soul formation of the Hidden God Soul, secretly running towards the warrior’s host soul within his brain.
The Hidden God Soul was a particular spirit skill of the Demonic Sound Clan which used the condensed flows of the soul consciousness to create a miraculous spirit Formation. This spirit Formation could then hide his spiritual aura, preventing others’ souls from detecting it.
It was a new method that had taken Shi Yan half of a day to figure out. Taking advantage of the Demonic Sound Clan’s special spirit skills, the three flows of his soul consciousness quietly approached that warrior’s soul.
Nothing abnormal happened.
Previously, whenever Shi Yan’s soul consciousness had come here, the Formation Technique in those warriors’ souls would have promptly scattered and made their souls explode.
However, this time, the soul forces in that Formation Technique apparently did not detect Shi Yan’s soul consciousness. It still stayed hidden deeply inside of that warrior’s soul without any commotions.
Shi Yan continued using his spirit to control the three flows of the soul consciousness to get into that warrior’s soul. A triangle-shaped soul Formation Technique hidden deeply inside gradually emerged.
This soul Formation Technique had a triangle shape; its surface was full of dense soul strings like thin silken fibers. Those tangled soul strings then formed a miraculous Soul Formation, consecutively emitting soul fluctuations to observe the every move of this warrior’s soul.
Shi Yan did not feel strange with the Demonic Sound Clan’s spirit skills. He knew that a person who had placed this Soul Formation Technique could also easily activate it to either make one’s soul explode or control one’s soul in a short amount of time.
Three flows of the soul consciousness suddenly spread in and violently wrapped that Formation Technique. The scorching fire power inside these flows also erupted violently.
Sputter.
Shi Yan’s forces completely burned down the Soul Formation Technique that Ya Ji had placed inside that warrior.
Not long after that, Shi Yan suddenly stared at the warriors of the Gu family in the cage and stolidly said,
The Formation Techniques in your souls have been dissolved.
Everyone in the stone hall was very surprised at first; their faces glinted with extreme joy.
Only using souls of alive people can improve one’s knowledge indeed.
Shi Yan mumbled in a low voice.
While the other people were overjoyed, he indifferently said,
Actually, I have dissolved that warrior’s Formation Technique to replace it with my Formation Technique in his head. Right now, I control his life.
You, bastard.
Gu Ling Long scolded irritatingly.
Shi Yan’s expression remained unchanged. He cold-heartedly said,
Now, I have to lift all of their Formation Techniques, and then I will replace them with my Soul Formation Techniques. After all of these are done, I can be assured to use them as objects for my soul study freely. If they are not dead after being used for my soul cultivation, I will perhaps spare those lucky people’s lives.
Upon his words, the warrior’s eyes which had just parked with full of hope instantly expressed disappointment.
You are the devil!
Gu Ling Long, Qu Yan Qing, and even Cao Zhi Lan could not stand but angrily shout out loud. Their delicate bodies were trembling with extreme resentment.
