327: Chapter 327 War Begins

Yuanxu Mountain, Zichen Peak, inside the Immortal Cave behind the waterfall.

The nine tribulations soul suppressing tower stood before Lin Ming, now shrunk to half a meter in height.

After returning to Yuanxu Mountain, the Spirit Avatar also slipped into Yuanxu Mountain.

"nine tribulations soul suppressing tower: An Origin Weapon of the soul type refined by the Zhen Shen Sect, which accidentally fell into the Lower Realm."

"Refining method: ..."

Fell into the Lower Realm? So, this is actually a Magic Treasure from a Sect in the Upper Realm.

Lin Ming thought it was something the Inverse Demon Cult had cobbled together themselves.

However, re-refining this nine tribulations soul suppressing tower into a Sacred Artifact would indeed be troublesome.

For one thing, Lin Ming's level is not high enough. The Ranks of Sacred Artifacts are divided into Initial-stage Sacred Artifact, Mid-stage Sacred Artifact, High-stage Sacred Artifact, and Forged-pattern Sacred Artifact.

Lin Ming is currently only an Initial-stage Artifact Refiner, while this nine tribulations soul suppressing tower is a Forged-pattern Sacred Artifact. With Lin Ming's level, he could at most re-refine it into an Initial-stage Sacred Artifact.

However, within the Qingxuan Realm, an Initial-stage Sacred Artifact is already considered the strongest; few practitioners or Sects possess an Initial-stage Sacred Artifact.

The Rank of the Artifact Refiner isn't really a problem; as long as Lin Ming is willing to spend money, rising to a Forged-pattern Artifact Refiner isn't a big issue.

The main reason is the issue of Materials.

To re-refine the nine tribulations soul suppressing tower, one needs Sacred-stage Spiritual Plants.

The Qingxuan Realm is resource-poor, so collecting these Spiritual Plants is too difficult.

And some things aren't just buyable with money.

Unless Lin Ming resorts to outright robbery, it's unlikely he can collect enough to refine the nine tribulations soul suppressing tower into an Initial-stage Sacred Artifact.

Thinking about it, let's just forget it. A pseudo-Sacred Artifact is still quite good.

As for re-refining and such, let's wait until he Ascends to the Upper Realm.

The Inverse Demon Cult also has quite a few treasures.

Things like Cultivation Techniques, Spiritual Plants, and so on.

However, most of them are things Lin Ming cannot use. He should find time to dispose of them.

He should be able to exchange them for a sum of Origin Stones.

As for why the Divine Souls of these Inverse Demon Cult fellows could survive for so long, Lin Ming found the reason within the Inverse Demon Cult's Cultivation Technique.

There is a special method in the Inverse Demon Cult's Cultivation Technique.

The Inverse Life Method, using the Divine Soul of others as nourishment to supply oneself, allowing them to survive until now.

This Cultivation Technique also has a major drawback.

Those who use this Cultivation Technique lose the chance for Reincarnation.

Reincarnation, it is said that somewhere in this world, there exists a place of Reincarnation, where the souls of deceased living beings are guided to the place of Reincarnation, to be reincarnated.

This matter can be considered a legend.

After all, this is a place that only the dead can reach; no living person has ever been there.

At least that is the case in the Qingxuan Realm.

As for the Upper Realm, one does not know.

Therefore, most people hold a skeptical attitude toward this Reincarnation.

Additionally, those who practice this Inverse Life Method, after absorbing the nutrients, must continue to replenish them, otherwise their Divine Soul will suffer the pain of ten thousand insects devouring the soul until the Divine Soul completely dissipates.

Not only that, practitioners of the Inverse Life Method use the Divine Souls of others as nourishment, but they cannot absorb these nutrients completely, leaving some things within the Divine Soul.

This thing is called Soul Poison. When this toxin accumulates to a certain extent, it will impact the practitioner, impacting their thoughts, impacting their emotions, and so on.

It impacts and erodes them at every moment.

Until this person's Divine Soul perishes.

"A somewhat evil method." Lin Ming took a simple look at this method and commented.

Lin Ming has seen quite a few evil and vicious methods.

The Qingxuan Realm once had times when the Demonic Path was rampant and the Righteous Path had to keep its tail between its legs.

These Demonic Path forces also developed quite a few evil and vicious methods.

This Inverse Life Method is enough to make it into the top five among the methods he knows.

Lin Ming will just look at this kind of method; it is impossible to practice it, and he certainly won't pass it on.

Lin Ming destroyed it directly.

It is better to destroy this kind of method that can extend life.

Once it spreads, who knows how many innocent people will lose their lives because of it.

"It is also time to perform Alchemy." Lin Ming put away the nine tribulations soul suppressing tower.

When he passed by the Spiritual Plant garden, he also saw that Heavenly Sun Determination Herb.

Under his careful care, the previous deficit of this Heavenly Sun Determination Herb has been completely replenished, and the quality is even better.

Calculating the time, the agreement with that number one powerhouse of the Great Yan Dynasty is almost up.

If Li Wushu cannot produce the Origin Stones, then he will take the Medicinal Pill he refines and auction it off.

It just depends on whether he believes it or not.

Lin Ming walked to the front of the Heavenly Sun Determination Herb and picked this Spiritual Plant.

...

War has begun.

Between the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path, war has finally broken out.

Led by Yuanxu Mountain and the Yongzhen Sect, they united the major top Sects to officially declare war on the Demonic Sects.

And before the official declaration of war, the three Sects of Yuanxu Mountain, the Yongzhen Sect, and the Canghai Sword Pavilion joined forces to destroy two Demonic Path Sects and several notorious Demonic cultivators.

This served as the opening for this declaration of war.

Before the declaration of war, the entire Yuanxu Mountain began to mobilize, utilizing its powerful intelligence System to find the whereabouts of Demonic cultivators and Demonic Sects.

Together with other Sects, they hunted down Demonic cultivators.

For a time, the entire Qingxuan Realm also began to become chaotic.

"War? Then I will satisfy you." The Blood Fiend Sect Leader said coldly.

Since they want to fight, he will naturally accompany them to have a good time.

At this moment, an old man suddenly appeared before him.

"Old Ancestor." Seeing this old man, the Blood Fiend Sect Leader immediately greeted him respectfully.

"The Blood Fiend Sect should also move." The old man said coldly.

"Everything is already prepared." The Blood Fiend Sect Leader said immediately.

This time, it will not be like five hundred years ago.

The gloomy wind gradually rose.

A figure emerged from the gloomy wind.

Wearing a black robe, it was impossible to see his appearance clearly.

"Everything is ready at Wanqi Mountain. It can be done tomorrow." The Black-robed Man said coldly.

They have prepared for the plan at Wanqi Mountain for a long time and invested a lot; it concerns the subsequent situation.

Success is the only option, failure is not allowed.

"Very good." The old man nodded.

"I will trouble you with that side." The old man said to the Black-robed Man.

The Black-robed Man nodded slightly at this.

"There is another piece of information." The Black-robed Man continued.

"People from the Wuxiang Demon Sect have appeared."

Once these words were spoken, the expression of the Blood Fiend Sect Leader changed slightly, but the old man's expression did not change in the slightest.

Wuxiang Demon Sect.

In that great war five hundred years ago, they were the leaders of the Demonic Path, and their Ancestor Wuxiang was the number one person in their Demonic Path at that time.

Since Ancestor Wuxiang was defeated and sealed in Wanqi Mountain, the Wuxiang Demon Sect had disappeared.

They had been looking for the traces of the Wuxiang Demon Sect, but in the five hundred years that had passed, there were no traces of the Wuxiang Demon Sect at all.

It was as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.

But now, the Wuxiang Demon Sect has appeared.
