Chapter 104: The Elder of the Soul Hall was Actually Him?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the Demon Slayers Division of the Moon Mountain Pass, Lu Yuan naturally treated the place as his own residence upon his arrival.
After he finished off the 15 cultivators, the Xueyang Sect didn’t take further action.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to take any action; they didn’t dare to.
Therefore, after confirming that the danger had passed, Lu Yuan started organizing his recent spoils.
[Name: Lu Yuan]
[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Stage Level 5]
[Physical Body: Innate Stage Tier 3 martial artist]
[Divine Soul: Emptiness Realm Intermediate Stage]
[Spiritual Roots: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind]
[Spiritual Root Aptitude: 1200 points]
[Luck value: 12,000]
In one year, not only did Lu Yuan complete the Foundation Establishment of his earth spiritual root, but his cultivation had also reached Level 5.
Other than that, Lu Yuan’s greatest improvement was that his physical body had reached the level of an Innate Stage martial artist.
The reason why he was able to do so in such a short period of time was mainly due to the Blood Qi Pills he obtained from the 30 Blood Warrior Monks.
Innate Stage martial artists walked the path of proving their way through strength.
They were the legendary body cultivators.
Among the five righteous sects, there was actually a sect of body cultivators, Wuji Mountain.
The cultivators in Wuji Mountain were all body cultivators.
Moreover, many of the martial arts manuscripts in the mortal world were passed down from this sect.
It was not an easy thing to prove their way through strength.
This was because they required a large number of resources to refine their bodies.
Their consumption of resources was far greater than that required by the cultivation of ordinary cultivators.
Moreover, the danger and the difficulty of body cultivation were not any lesser than that of other cultivations.
As a result, the number of cultivators who walked the path of body cultivation was much lower than that of ordinary cultivators.
Although there were only 200 people in the entire Wuji Mountain sect, they were on par with the other four sects.
It was apparent how powerful the body cultivators of this sect were.
Lu Yuan possessed some body-tempering techniques as well.
The Nine Guarding Tortoiseshell Technique was essentially a body-tempering technique.
Thus, Lu Yuan had actually thought about tempering his body a long time ago.
However, due to his various restrictions and him prioritizing Core Formation through the way of the heavens, his original plan was to wait until he reached the Core Formation Stage before he started to temper his body.
The appearance of the Blood Qi Pills had allowed Lu Yuan to temper his body sooner.
This was because the essence of the Blood Qi Pills was actually the life essence of those cultivators. It was the best material for body tempering.
With the support of so many Blood Qi Pills of Foundation Establishment cultivators, even though Lu Yuan had not deliberately cultivated his body before this, his physical body still reached the level of an Innate Stage martial artist.
It had greatly improved his ability to survive.
Although he had made significant progress in body tempering, Lu Yuan knew very well what he truly relied on.
The most important thing for him now was to find a way to achieve Core Formation through the way of the heavens.
If he wanted to do so, Lu Yuan only had three problems left to solve.
He needed to first coalesce the three remaining spiritual roots of Thunder, Yin, and Yang.
The Qingyun Sect did not have the cultivation methods for these three spiritual roots.
However, after dealing with the 15 cultivators from the Xueyang Sect, Lu Yuan accidentally found a suitable Yin attribute cultivation technique stored in the Soul Pill of the cultivator named Li Yueru.
[Cultivation technique: Black Yin Devil Technique, First Volume]
[Effect: After cultivating this technique, one can condense an acquired Yin spiritual root and have a certain amount of death aura in one’s spiritual energy. After the Core Formation Stage, one can condense an innate soul weapon, Soul Reaper Rope.]
Although the first volume of the Black Yin Devil Technique was just an introduction, Lu Yuan was very satisfied with it.
This was because the special energy like the death aura was clearly tailor-made for snakes like him!
The so-called death aura was actually a special use of spiritual energy.
For most of the living, death aura was a very troublesome thing.
This was because it could directly harm their divine souls and affect their lifespans.
Young cultivators didn’t care about longevity, but old cultivators were different. They cared a lot about it!
This kind of attack that could directly affect the enemy’s lifespan was undoubtedly the nightmare of many old cultivators, especially for those who were about to reach the end of their lives.
This cultivation technique was clearly targeted at the elderly among the cultivators.
It was a skill that specialized in bullying the elderly!
It was an exclusive cultivation technique for ultimate villains.
Lu Yuan felt that he was fitted for this role!
Other than the advantage of being able to cultivate death aura, this cultivation technique could also be used to refine an innate soul weapon, the Soul Reaper Rope, after cultivating it to the Core Formation Stage.
[Soul Reaper Rope: A legendary magic instrument specially used by ghost celestials. It can directly hook out the enemy’s soul. It is difficult to defend against.]
[Note: The strength of the Soul Reaper Rope increases with the strength of the cultivator’s divine soul.]
To be honest, Lu Yuan was most interested in this Soul Reaper Rope.
When cultivators reached the Core Formation Stage, they already had many methods to defend their divine souls.
However, these defensive methods might not be able to block the attack of the Soul Reaper Rope.
Once a person’s divine soul was hooked out by the Soul Reaper Rope, then the other party would basically be on their way to Hell.
It could be said that this Black Yin Devil Technique First Volume was definitely a very good Yin attribute cultivation technique.
It was regrettable that the cultivator called Li Yueru only had the first volume of this cultivation technique.
The second volume contained the essence of this cultivation technique.
The first volume had an introduction to the second volume.
The second volume seemed to be able to allow the cultivator to condense another innate soul weapon, the Wailing Staff.
As for the function of this Wailing Staff, Lu Yuan was not very clear.
However, even without the second volume, this cultivation technique was still very suitable for Lu Yuan to cultivate.
After all, what he needed the most now was to condense a Yin Spiritual Root.
As long as he cultivated the Yin Spiritual Root, he was only two spiritual roots away from the perfect Core Formation through the way of the heavens.
However, when Lu Yuan started cultivating the Black Yin Devil Technique, he suddenly thought of something.
This was a method that specialized in attacking the divine souls that was coupled with the death aura, an energy that could only be used by villains.
Finally, there was the sinister innate soul weapon, the Soul Reaper Rope.
Good heavens. How did he become an elder of the Soul Hall?
Especially since he liked to laugh sinisterly too.
After all this time, the elder of the Soul Hall was actually him?
Impossible! It was absolutely impossible!
He, Lu Yuan, was full of righteousness. How could he be an elder of the Soul Hall?
As he consoled himself, Lu Yuan began the cultivation process of the Black Yin Devil Technique.
A layer of black death aura began to slowly appear around his body.
The more he looked at the scene of him bathing in the black death aura, the more he looked like an elder of a certain villainous force!
