When the Great Dao Dies, I Remain; When Spiritual Energy Withers, I Endure

Hengtianyuan was once a place where ghosts were rampant.

This place is filled with some kind of special energy. Most of the geniuses who die here will turn into souls, retain their memories of their lives, and can continue to practice as ghost cultivators.

However, there is a huge limitation.

That means you can't leave this place casually.

Li Changxiao had just obtained Baiyoushu.

Then suddenly I felt a deep cold air.

Something seemed to have noticed him.

"Ghost cultivator?" Li Changxiao muttered and walked towards the direction where the cold air was coming.

He poured spiritual energy into the torch in his hand. The flame of the torch did not become larger, but the light was several times brighter.

After passing a corner, we finally saw the source of the cold air.

It's a ghost.

It looks ferocious. If you ignore the seven hands, eight heads, and twelve legs on its body, this thing can barely be regarded as humanoid.

Li Changxiao had some experience.

It soon became clear how this ghost was formed.

At the same time, it also solved a doubt in his mind: Why didn't he see even a ghost cultivator after walking in the Hengtian Abyss for several days?

The reason is simple.

If the spiritual energy is exhausted, the hundreds of millions of ghost cultivators in Hengtian Abyss will definitely not sit still and wait to die.

Strong ghost cultivators will definitely devour weak ghost cultivators to strengthen themselves.

It would be okay if I only swallowed one or two.

But if you devour a large number of similar ghost cultivators.

Memories poured in.

Coupled with the depletion of spiritual energy and the inability to recuperate, over time, the ghost cultivator who devoured other ghost cultivators will also have memory confusion and become a wandering soul that can only follow instincts.

Just a little longer.

There were too many ghost cultivators devoured.

The soul body has mutated.

It turned into this ghost in front of me, neither human nor ghost.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and the ghost hissed and flew towards Li Changxiao.

It's a pity that this ghost was once, perhaps, very powerful.

But now.

In Li Changxiao's eyes, he was just a beast that had lost all reason and had been hungry for a long time.

I saw Li Changxiao's eyes flashing with blue light.

A little boot.

The memories from different ghost cultivators inside the ghost body were affected one after another.

The ghost held its head, half-crouched down, and howled in pain.

Countless ghost faces appeared on the body, wails, screams, curses... burst out at the same time on this ghost body.

Li Changxiao saw it vaguely.

It seems to have a soul body, struggling to escape.

Finally, bang!

Ghostly things explode.

Countless souls flew out of it and then quickly dissipated in the air.

A crystal clear bead fell to the ground.

Li Changxiao picked it up and took a look.

Pupils shrink.

"Soul Pearl!"

“I didn’t expect that I could also encounter a soul bead!”

Li Changxiao was shocked.

Even three hundred years ago, soul beads were rare.

It is a treasure with a price but no market. Once it appears, it will inevitably cause disputes.

The greatest function of the soul pearl is to absorb and nourish the soul body. It is a luxurious residence equivalent to the soul body of heaven and earth.

It is extremely attractive to ghost cultivators.

"Looking at it like this, it seems like it was just conceived."

Li Changxiao observed carefully and found that this soul bead was so crystal clear and so pure that there was no trace of impurities.

He pocketed this unexpected surprise and flew out of Hengtian Abyss with his sword.

...

After leaving Hengtianyuan, Li Changxiao held Baiyoushu in one hand and the music score in the other, looking at it in ecstasy.

His cultivation talent is average, his martial arts talent is even more average, and his understanding is not very good. His only advantage is that he has more time than others.

Baiyoushu is very mysterious about the ghosts of dead things, and even involves the secret of the cycle of life and death.

While the Baiyou Dynasty was still there, it was still not possible to study thoroughly.

Therefore, not to mention, Li Changxiao, who had just come into contact with this art.

that's all.

About a month passed.

Li Changxiao was able to memorize the music score of "Qushui Orchid Pavilion" and took it back into the dream space.

Through the music score, he has been able to understand the ancient characters of Baiyou Dynasty, as well as some secret words in Baiyou technique.

He holds Baiyoushu all day long.

I don't know where I'm going to go.

Anyway, just walking and watching.

About half a month later.

He saw some tricks.

Baiyoushu can control the dead, control the soul, establish a contract with the soul, and become one's ghost servant.

It is worth mentioning that ghost cultivators in the spiritual world all appear in the form of souls.

Therefore, Baiyoushu can also be regarded as the nemesis of all ghost cultivators.

Li Changxiao studied in depth for more than half a month.

I discovered that Baiyou Technique is actually very suitable for me.

He might be able to combine the Baiyou Technique with his power to control dreams.

It's shameful to say.

It has been nearly a thousand years since Li Changxiao embarked on the path of spiritual practice.

This Hundred Nether Technique is the most profound and highest-level technique he has ever come into contact with.

What he had used before, whether it was sword moves or training techniques, were all wild methods. They couldn't be said to be the lowest level, but they were definitely at the middle to lower level.

Therefore, this Baiyou Technique is not just a simple technique for him, but it also broadens his horizons.

I thought of more uses and possibilities of my dream power.

The benefits of this are even far greater than the Baiyou Technique itself.

A few more days.

Li Changxiao was eager to try.

The first step in practicing the Hundred Ghost Technique is to cultivate the Hundred Ghost Pupils.

Ghosts in heaven and earth exist in the form of souls. Only mortals who have opened their spiritual orifices and have yin and yang eyes, or monks who have reached a certain level of cultivation, can see them.

The function of the Hundred Ghost Pupils is to strengthen the monks' sensitivity to ghosts.

Li Changxiao followed the above practice method.

At noon every day, burn your eyes with ghost fire. No matter how painful it is, you can't stop until dusk, and then drip two drops of Yellow Spring Water.

Continue this for 27 days, and the Hundred Ghost Pupils will be formed.

Ghost fire is a rootless fire belonging to Yin.

Yellow Spring Water is the extremely cold water deep underground.

Three hundred years ago, both of them were extremely rare and required the whole country to search.

So it is said that the Hundred Ghost Technique is not easy to practice.

Li Changxiao can only use something with the same medicinal properties as a substitute.

One month later.

The inferior version of the Hundred Ghost Pupils is a small success.

Next, it is to find ghosts, establish contracts, and recruit ghost servants.

But...

Where can I find ghosts?

Now that the spiritual energy is exhausted, the souls of people after death will quickly dissipate between heaven and earth, even cultivators are no exception.

Only those with deep obsessions will have their souls stay in the mortal world for a while longer.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly he noticed something.

He took out the crystal clear soul bead.

With the minor success of Baiyoutong, he was several times more sensitive to ghosts. When he saw this soul bead again, he sensed that there was a weak soul living in this soul bead.

This soul has always been there.

"It's not the soul of a cultivator, could it be the leader of the Demon Sect?" Li Changxiao said after a careful sense.

I think it must be that after the death of the Demon Sect leader, his soul is still following him.

When the soul bead fell, it instinctively drilled into it and was nurtured by the soul bead, so it has not dissipated.

"Meeting is fate." Li Changxiao said with a smile: "Whether to enter the reincarnation or become a ghost servant, you choose."

"Enter the reincarnation, this world disappears, become a ghost servant, well... it may not be better than entering the reincarnation."

His eyes flashed with blue light.

The Hundred Ghosts Technique combined with the power of dreams to condense an invisible contract and enter the consciousness of the soul.

Just wait for the remaining consciousness of the soul to agree or refuse.

What surprised Li Changxiao was.

The contract just entered the soul consciousness.

It was signed immediately without a trace of hesitation.

Around the soul bead, thick black air floated up and condensed into a tall human figure in mid-air. The hideous and terrifying Rakshasa mask on his face made people shudder.

"Ghost servant greets the master." The ghost knelt on one knee, and the Rakshasa mask seemed to come alive against the background of the gloomy ghost air.
