Chapter 604 Tang Zhen’s Warning
Tang Zhen has a very funny past.
He had dreamed of becoming a world-famous master of alchemy since he was a child, and Fenyan Valley also had the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire that had been passed down from generation to generation.
It can be said that Tang Zhen’s background is enough to support him to enter the realm of an eighth-grade alchemist!
But unfortunately, Tang Zhen did not have an obvious talent for alchemy.
Tang Zhen worked hard for so many years, but he didn't make much progress in refining medicine, but instead became a Dou Zun.
It can also be said to be quite inspirational.
Although Tang Zhen could only refine fifth-grade pills himself, he knew many secrets of pharmacists in detail.
His understanding of soul power is even comparable to that of an eighth-grade alchemist!
Unfortunately, if there are no special opportunities or corresponding methods of soul cultivation, relying solely on cultivation to increase soul power, even if a cultivator has a good physique and a considerable increase in soul power, he can only reach the initial stage of the spiritual realm after cultivating to the Dou Zun level.
Even if one cultivates to the peak of Dou Zun, one can only stop at the middle stage of the Spirit Realm.
But now, Tang Zhen actually saw with his own eyes a nine-star Dou Zong who possessed the soul power of the late spiritual realm!
You know, even Cao Ying, the enchantress from the Danta Cao family, only has a soul power at the late stage of the spiritual realm.
And Cao Ying had reached the eighth-grade alchemist not long ago!
Hundreds of beasts roared together, and the soul shock and the soul attack released by the Dead Soul Wolf formed a trend of mutual consumption, and neither side could do anything to the other!
Yang Shan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Soul power is the Dead Soul Wolf's trump card.
Therefore, many of the methods used by the Dead Soul Wolf are mainly based on soul attacks.
Judging from the current situation, after the dual enhancement of the ancient dragon's blood essence and [Yama Luo], the low-level earth-level fighting skill "A Hundred Howls of Remnant Spirits" can still play an extremely reliable role.
Tang Zhen originally thought that Yang Shan's taking the initiative was just to help him attract some attention.
As a result, the Dead Soul Wolf's body was tied up and its soul attack was blocked.
A nine-star Dou Zong actually created such a good opportunity for him in a Dou Zun level battle!
This is equivalent to feeding the food into your mouth as soon as it is served!
If he doesn't show some real skills, where will he put his face as a five-star Dou Zun?
The Nine Dragons Thunder Fire in Tang Zhen's body began to become restless. At the same time, a magic core floated out from each of Tang Zhen's left and right sides.
As the magic core shattered, the essence of the two types of seventh-level beast fire was squeezed out by Tang Zhen at once.
The Nine Dragon Thunder Fire wrapped up the two beast fire origins and merged into Tang Zhen's body.
"Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire!"
Yang Shan saw Tang Zhen’s panel information with his own eyes. The number in the level column changed from “five” to “seven”!
"What the hell?"
Yang Shan was dumbfounded.
"The Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire" is a unique secret method inherited in Fenyan Valley. According to the background of the original work, the founder of this secret method is Xiao Xuan, the last patriarch of the Xiao clan!
This secret method can rely on the power of fire to improve one's cultivation in a short period of time.
In the original novel, Xiao Yan used three kinds of strange fire to perform "Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire", but he could only improve his cultivation by two stars at the Dou Zun level.
And Tang Zhen in the original novel could only barely improve his cultivation by one star.
But in the game, Tang Zhen just took two seventh-level beast fires to make up the number, and he could increase the level by two stars?
Seven-star Dou Zun?
The Jiu Tianzun of the Soul Palace is only at the peak of the Seven-Star Dou Zun level!
In the game, data is too important.
The improvement brought by two stars is not just about attributes.
Fighting skills damage and realm suppression all need to be recalculated!
This is similar to the strange amplification of heaven and earth, which is to add the value directly on the panel!
Has Tang Zhen in the game been strengthened to this extent?
For Tang Zhen who has already reached the level of Seven-Star Dou Zun, the power of Taiyi Fire Luo Palm has been greatly improved.
Just the extra two stars of pressure is enough to make the Dead Soul Wolf lose his temper.
The palm force almost directly imprinted on the waist and abdomen of the Dead Soul Wolf.
The silver flames instantly broke Yang Shan's thunder chains, and nine flaming dragon shadows rose into the air, accompanied by dragon roars.
Tang Zhen raised his right hand:
"Come!"
Nine flaming dragon shadows obeyed Tang Zhen's command and gathered in his palm.
"Taiyi Fire Luo Palm" is followed by "Nine Dragons Flame Break"!
Fifty years ago, Tang Zhen used this set of serial fighting skills to blast a three-star Dou Zun to pieces on the spot!
Tang Zhen is indeed a very good thug and he doesn't hide anything at all.
But Yang Shan shouted at this time:
"Senior Tang Zhen, please show mercy!"
Tang Zhen, who used the "Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire", used such a series of killing moves that even a Seven-Star Dou Zun would sweat profusely.
What’s more, it’s just an early eighth-level Dead Soul Wolf with obvious defects in its body?
In the Douqi Continent, powerful souls are not illusions, but real entities.
So the soul is not completely immune to attack in the traditional sense.
Yang Shan is now worried that Tang Zhen is too powerful and will destroy the soul of the Dead Soul Wolf!
Fortunately, Tang Zhen listened to the advice.
He temporarily suppressed the terrifying energy of "Nine Dragons Flame Break" in his palm.
As long as there is anything wrong, Tang Zhen can attack it at any time! The silver sea of fire that engulfed the Dead Soul Wolf gradually extinguished, and the slightly illusory figure of the Dead Soul Wolf floated out.
Yang Shan used the "Hundred Howls of Remaining Spirits" that he had prepared long ago.
The "independent" function of the soul has been weakened in the game. Without the protection of the physical body, even if the soul of the Dead Soul Wolf has reached the great perfection of the spiritual realm, its combat capability may even be worse than that of a Dou Huang.
Facing Yang Shan’s second attack of “A Hundred Howls of Remaining Souls”, the Dead Soul Wolf had no way to resist relying solely on its soul body.
At the moment when the Dead Soul Wolf lost consciousness, Yang Shan took out a pitch-black bead that looked very much like the Soul-Gathering Bead.
After injecting a wisp of fighting spirit, the black bead immediately transformed into a black chain, locking up the Dead Soul Wolf.
No matter how the Dead Soul Wolf wailed, the black chain was constantly retracted until the Dead Soul Wolf was also brought into the black bead.
Tang Zhen's expression froze:
"Is this the Soul Binding Pearl?"
In the Soul Palace, the Soul Bead is the most basic soul collecting item.
But this Soul-Binding Pearl is a “high-end product”!
After all, the independent consciousness of weak souls can be easily worn away, but the willpower of souls in the spiritual realm or even the heavenly realm is extremely strong.
The Soul-Binding Bead is specifically designed to target powerful souls!
When Yang Shan went to the Danghun branch hall and met Hundan again, Hundan handed the Soul-Binding Pearl to Yang Shan very solemnly.
According to the soul-destroying person, the Danghun Branch Hall was allocated only two Soul-Binding Pearls.
One is in the hand of the bastard, and the other is for "public use".
This third one was obtained by Hun Dan from his father Hun Fan Sheng after he had begged for a long time, specially for Yang Shan!
Even though the soul power of this Dead Soul Wolf is enough to reach the great perfection of the spiritual realm, after being stored in the Soul-Binding Pearl, as long as Yang Shan has a thought, the soul consciousness of the Dead Soul Wolf will completely disappear within seven days at most.
If you encounter a soul in the heavenly realm, the Soul Palace also has related formations to cooperate with the Soul-Binding Pearl, which can also erase the soul's consciousness.
"Young friend Yang Shan, where did you get this Soul Binding Pearl?"
When Tang Zhen asked this question, his tone was quite cautious.
Yang Shan had no intention of hiding it from Tang Zhen:
"To be honest, I once went through life and death with the leader of a branch of the Soul Palace in my early years. This Soul Binding Pearl was given to me by him!"
"I see! Young friend Yang Shan's connections really amaze me!"
Tang Zhen hesitated, then said:
"I know a little bit about the Soul Palace, my dear friend Yang Shan, don't blame me for being nosy. The Soul Palace is a truly transcendent force in Zhongzhou, and its internal factions are complicated. It's normal for you to have a personal relationship with them, but unless it's absolutely necessary, don't get involved in the internal affairs of the Soul Palace!"
Yang Shan smiled:
"I thought Senior was going to advise me to stay away from the Soul Palace!"
Tang Zhen: "It's a good thing to be able to build relationships with the high-level people in the Soul Palace. Why would I advise you to stay away? Although the Soul Palace once caused chaos in Zhongzhou, that was thousands of years ago. The current Soul Palace is very low-key. But its foundation is really terrifying! In Zhongzhou, only Danta can compare with it."
Yang Shan nodded:
"I see. I am actually quite cautious. After all, the Soul Palace is an expert in playing with souls! They collect souls everywhere, so their reputation is not good."
Tang Zhen was surprised:
"Bad reputation? Where did you hear that it has a bad reputation?"
Yang Shan: “Ah?”
Tang Zhen looked at Yang Shan and said with a smile:
"It seems that Young Master Yang Shan doesn't know much about the situation in the Soul Palace. Then I will tell you about it so that you can have an idea in your mind!"
"In the past, about four or five thousand years ago, the Soul Palace did cause bloodshed in Zhongzhou, but later it was suppressed by various forces in Zhongzhou. Later, for some reasons, the Soul Palace did something to settle the original grudge. Since then, the Soul Palace has become low-key. At least it has not openly killed people or forcibly seized souls."
"As for the clashes between forces and the scramble for resources, in these normal confrontations, the Soul Palace's methods are indeed more ruthless, but conflicts between forces and the scramble for resources should be handled with bloody means, so it cannot be said that the Soul Palace's behavior is bad."
At this point, Tang Zhen couldn't help but complain about his old rival in Fenyan Valley:
"If we really want to talk about the worst behavior, it has to be Binghe Valley! The valley master Binghe is a piece of shit! He once used secret methods to poison tens of thousands of people and cultivated himself into a body of acquired evil poison. And there is also the Tianming Sect, which is even more inhumane than Binghe Valley. Not only are they ruthless, they also encourage disciples to kill each other in the sect!"
Yang Shan touched his chin:
"So, the Soul Palace is not unforgivable?"
"Good and evil are relative!"
At this point, Tang Zhen shook his slightly calloused hands:
"The number of people who died at my hands, if not a thousand, must be seven or eight hundred! Who dares to say that I am a bad guy?"
Yang Shan nodded: "Senior Tang Zhen is right!"
Tang Zhen patted Yang Shan on the shoulder:
"My dear friend Yang Shan, I can see from the first sight that you are no ordinary person. If you had not died prematurely, you would have been a legendary figure in the future who could shake Zhongzhou with just one stomp of your foot! I have said so much to remind you that the Soul Palace has a large number of people and great power, and you are now just a relative stranger to the real strong men of the Soul Palace..."
Tang Zhen raised his little finger:
"This is it!"
Tang Zhen said earnestly:
“Young friend Yang Shan, as the young master of Fenglei Pavilion, you naturally understand that even within Fenglei Pavilion, the power struggle is endless, let alone the Soul Palace? The Soul Palace high-level people you are on good terms with must be from just one faction. It’s best to have a personal relationship with them. Don’t get involved in the factional struggles in the Soul Palace! Otherwise, Fenglei Pavilion won’t be able to protect you!”
Yang Shan lowered his head:
"Junior understands! Thank you for your warning, senior!"
"Well, with young friend Yang Shan's intelligence, there should be no need for me to talk too much. Alas, to be honest, I am a little envious of you. It is extremely difficult for outsiders to obtain the inheritance of the soul from the Soul Palace. Since you have collected the soul of the dead soul wolf, I am afraid you also have a way to refine the power of the soul, right?"
At this point, Tang Zhen's tone became a little sour:
"Congratulations, your soul is about to enter the spiritual realm of great perfection! There are many eighth-grade alchemists whose souls have not reached this level."
