48: The system went completely insane, sacrificing the island's inhabitants to forge the soul banner!

Time flew by.

A month later.

Zhou Ziyi happily left Shen Xuansheng with three immortal essence pills. The day after she left, Shen Xuansheng saw the Disciples of God Slaying Peak leave the Jiesheng Sect with great fanfare, carrying the god-slaying disk.

He didn't know what they were going to do.

Above the clouds.

Zhou Ziyi sat at the front of the god-slaying disk, with a male and a female Disciple standing on either side of her.

"Senior Sister, that immortal essence pill is truly miraculous. In just one night, I managed to perfectly absorb the lifelong cultivation of an Immortal, along with their Dao Body Origin Essence, which strengthened my Dao Body considerably," the female Disciple said, her eyes filled with boundless wonder.

The male Disciple nodded in agreement.

Zhou Ziyi gave a chilling smile: "Therefore, our main target now is Immortals. Remember, use the god slaying sword carefully. Don't blast them all into blood mist; just leave the corpses. After we bring them back, have Senior Brother continue refining them!"

"The immortal essence pill works for us, but it is temporarily useless for our Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters who haven't achieved Immortal Ascension."

"Blood Pills refined from bodies below the Immortal level will be useful to them. That's their own cultivation. Tell them to kill carefully."

The male Disciple nodded: "Then Senior Sister, where are we going this time?"

"I received news that a Sect in Luoguo is harming innocent common people. Such a major event, such a brazen and heinous act—since we know about it, we absolutely cannot let them continue to act rampantly." Heaven knows, it took Zhou Ziyi a whole month to find a suitable target.

"Destroy them!"

"Senior Sister, you are too kind! We're almost leaving the Eastern Domain, but we must still uphold justice on behalf of Heaven!"

"Wuwu, we are going to save people."

The three of them exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

"Heheheh~~~~~~~!"

And when all the Disciples on the god-slaying disk knew about it.

"Heheheh~~~~~~~!"

Jiesheng Sect.

In Shen Xuansheng's courtyard.

Chu Feng had fully recovered, and after fusing with his younger brother's saint blood, his strength actually achieved a Breakthrough to the next level.

A blessing in disguise!

"Senior Brother, thank you!"

Chu Feng immediately knelt down before Shen Xuansheng.

"It's nothing!"

"We are all Senior and Junior Brothers of the same family!"

Shen Xuansheng waved his hand, helped Chu Feng up, and said to Lin Fan: "Lin Fan, before your Senior Sister Zhou returns, you take care of him for now."

Lin Fan quickly nodded: "Understood, Senior Brother!"

"Also, Lin Fan, your Aptitude is quite good. When you enter the Inner Sect, go to God Slaying Peak as well. After all, you two came together, and it will be convenient to be together later."

Having settled the two of them.

Shen Xuansheng listened to the voice ringing in his ear and revealed a brilliant smile.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the Host for becoming Junior Brother Chu Feng's backer."

"Reward: Four Ghosts of You Huan!"

Buzz~~~~~~~!

In an instant.

Shen Xuansheng suddenly felt a chilling Qi. In front of him, four shadows flowed like ink, eventually coalescing into four people.

"Greetings, Revered Master!"

The four immediately knelt down and said in unison.

Shen Xuansheng looked at the four and said: "Don't call me Revered Master, it sounds terrible. Call me Young Master."

The four: "Understood, Young Master!"

Just as Shen Xuansheng got up, a gentle breeze swept past, and the Black-Robed Youth appeared directly in his small courtyard.

"Creatures of the Nether Illusion Realm?"

The Youth sat down casually, looking at the four people kneeling on the ground, and asked curiously: "How did you find them?"

Shen Xuansheng asked curiously: "Revered Master, is there a problem?"

This was a System reward.

There shouldn't... be a problem, right?

"There's no problem, but the Nether Illusion Realm was destroyed long ago. I didn't expect any creatures to still exist."

"This Seat is merely curious."

The Youth said lightly: "The creatures of the Nether Illusion Realm are somewhat different from creatures in other worlds. They are naturally dark as thick ink and can hide in shadows. Although the four of them have not yet achieved Immortal Ascension, they possess the strength of Nirvana Realm Perfection. Take them with you in the future, let them hide in your shadow. If you encounter enemies, they will have a surprising effect."

Hearing this.

Shen Xuansheng immediately felt a sense of strangeness.

Is that how insidious they are?

"Furthermore, since Zhou Ziyi gave you that Soul Refining soul banner, you should go refine it. Currently, that soul banner's Origin has been damaged by the god slaying sword, so it has no power."

"There is an island in the Eastern Sea with quite a few creatures on it, which is suitable for you to refine the soul banner."

As the Youth spoke, he casually opened space and slapped Shen Xuansheng inside.

The space healed.

The Youth looked at the four people on the ground: "Where did you come from?"

The four lowered their heads even further.

"We do not know."

"But we are absolutely loyal to Young Master!"

The Youth extended a finger, which directly sunk into the forehead of one of them.

It was like a finger dipping into ink.

A moment later, the Youth opened space again and slapped the four inside as well: "Follow him."

The Youth's gaze looked toward the distance.

He frowned slightly.

"The Nether Illusion Realm, I remember that guy destroyed it back then, right?"

"All the Saints of the Nether Illusion Realm are dead, yet four such weaklings are still alive..."

"Heh heh."

"Forget it. This Seat still has work to do. If I cripple that guy, he'll obediently come and serve as the National Beast." The Youth's figure slowly dissipated.

The Eastern Sea is located east of the Eastern Domain. The Eastern Sea is so vast that, according to the information Shen Xuansheng knew, it was at least larger than the planet he inhabited in his previous life.

In the deep sea regions, there are various powerful Yao Race members.

Generally, no one comes to the Eastern Sea.

It can be said that the Eastern Sea is the territory of the creatures living in the sea.

However, in one part of the Eastern Sea, there was an island. Although the number of creatures on this island was not small, it still numbered in the hundreds of millions.

"Seeing this, I probably know whom you resemble."

Shen Xuansheng initially didn't know why, but upon seeing the shape of the island.

He immediately lost all guilt about refining the soul banner.

"soul banner, appear!"

Shen Xuansheng held the soul banner in one hand. As the soul banner opened, chains of Divine Soul flew out from it, heading towards the island below.

The soul banner left his hand and stood suspended above the island.

"seven treasures wonderful tree, open!"

"life and death reincarnation diagram, open!"

Shen Xuansheng activated all three treasures simultaneously, descending upon the island like the end of the world.

Accompanied by the screams of the creatures and the eruption of volcanoes, the creatures on this island were essentially plunged into an apocalypse.

One by one, Divine Souls were dragged into the soul banner by the soul banner chains. Shen Xuansheng clearly felt the power of the soul banner continuously growing stronger.

"soul banner Divine Ability?"

Shen Xuansheng connected with the soul banner. After the energy within the soul banner reached a certain level, an obscure piece of content appeared inside the soul banner. As the Divine Souls within the soul banner increased, this obscure content also continuously grew.

It wasn't until hundreds of millions of Divine Souls were swallowed that this soul banner Divine Ability was truly revealed.

"The refinement of the soul banner lies in the soul."

"Using the soul of an Immortal as the foundation, nourishing it with myriad souls, hundreds of millions of Divine Souls transform into the power of the soul banner."

"Holder of the Soul, behold my great soul banner Divine Ability."

"Soul Seizing and Spirit Capturing Technique!"

"Using the power of the soul banner, deploy this great Divine Ability to seize the souls of creatures, strip away their souls and spirits—unrivaled under Heaven!"

"The only pity is that this soul banner damages heavenly harmony. Every time the soul banner is refined, endless Karmic Obstruction descends upon the Holder of the Soul. Use it with caution!"

Shen Xuansheng was startled, looking at the Soul Refining soul banner billowing thick black smoke.

Hundreds of millions of creatures on this island had been refined into the soul banner by him. If Karmic Fire were to descend...

"Damn!"

Shen Xuansheng panicked: "I won't even have ashes left!"

However.

Under Shen Xuansheng's astonished gaze, the black smoke originally on the soul banner gradually turned golden.

"Holy crap!!"

Shen Xuansheng looked at the glittering golden soul banner: "As expected!"

"How is this merely like that race!"

"This clearly is them!"

"Born with Evil Bodies, destroy their race, specially bestowed Karma..."

At the same time.

In Shen Xuansheng's ear, the System's voice began ringing wildly.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining five hundred years of cultivation."

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining one thousand years of cultivation."

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining five thousand years of cultivation."

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Dragon Blood Phoenix Heart Pill."

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the supreme treasure Heaven Nurturing Jade."

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Ten Thousand Li Dragon Vein."

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining..."

Feeling the cultivation rapidly surging within his body, it felt almost as if it would burst him apart.

"What exactly did this race do?!"

"Revered Master, save me!!"

Shen Xuansheng couldn't help but shout.
