66: Soul scattered
The Bronze Phantom immediately went mad: "You deserve it!"
"You wanted to possess me and suppressed most of my artifact spirit!"
"Didn't expect this, did you!"
"Instead, I took the opportunity to occupy your body!"
"And then, all the successive Pavilion Masters of your Tianji Pavilion..."
"...were all possessed and devoured by me. Look at the seven of you!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Now your hopes are shattered as well!"
"Then I definitely can't let you stay!"
"I originally wanted to keep you around, to leave you without hope as you watched your own School head toward destruction!"
"But you actually thought of using my original body to deal with me?"
The Bronze Phantom mobilized all of Old Ancestor Xuanyin's cultivation to seal off his own Divine Sense.
This way, the seven remnant souls of the successive Tianji Pavilion Masters had no way to seize Old Ancestor Xuanyin's body.
Thus, the seven remnant souls of the successive Tianji Pavilion Masters and the Bronze Phantom fought in a chaotic battle within the Divine Sense!
Whenever the Bronze Phantom attacked one of them...
...the other six remnant souls of the Pavilion Masters would desperately come to the rescue.
But now, everyone was somewhat distracted.
Because their hope had been shattered once again, and the next hope was nowhere in sight.
The Bronze Phantom seized the opportunity and enveloped the weakest 7th Generation Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion.
No matter how the other six remnant souls of the Pavilion Masters attacked, it wouldn't let go, and in the blink of an eye, the 7th Generation Pavilion Master was refined by the Bronze Phantom.
The Bronze Phantom's strength immediately increased by twenty percent.
The other six Pavilion Masters of the Tianji Pavilion were filled with despair.
Originally, at seven against one, they could just barely manage a draw.
Now that the scales had tipped toward the opponent, they could only wait to be picked off one by one.
In their despair, the six Pavilion Masters also showed a hint of ruthlessness.
The 1st Generation Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion let out a roar of despair: "Forget it! Forget it!"
"The sins I've committed! I shall repay them!"
After saying that, he flew directly toward the Bronze Phantom, and when the Bronze Phantom surrounded him...
...he directly detonated his own Divine Soul.
The other five Pavilion Masters felt the shock to their Divine Souls.
However, the Bronze Phantom expanded by a circle and just happened to block it.
At this moment, the Soul power of the 1st Generation Pavilion Master was completely absorbed by the Bronze Phantom.
If Old Ancestor Xuanyin's entire Divine Soul strength was ten parts, then the Bronze Phantom now occupied seven parts.
The remaining five remnant souls of the Pavilion Masters only occupied three parts.
Therefore, the outcome was self-evident; one by one, the remnant souls of the Pavilion Masters were devoured by the Bronze Phantom.
Finally, the Bronze Phantom let out a satisfied burp.
Old Ancestor Xuanyin's Divine Sense space finally returned to tranquility.
Outside, Old Ancestor Xuanyin opened his eyes.
He looked into the distance: "My original body! Sooner or later, it will still be mine!"
Deep within the Tianji Great Hall, there was an altar.
On it were the memorial tablets of the successive Pavilion Masters of the Tianji Pavilion.
In the top row, there were previously seven blank tablets without names.
But with the death of the 7th Generation Pavilion Master's remnant soul, a name suddenly appeared on the last tablet.
Then the first tablet, and in the blink of an eye, all seven tablets had names.
It was as if the seven Pavilion Masters had not died before, but were only dying now.
This silent change revealed that the remnant souls of the seven Pavilion Masters were completely dead!
The Disciples guarding the hall did not notice anything unusual, because ordinary people could not enter this Tianji Great Hall.
Only the Elders of the Tianji Pavilion, as well as Nascent Soul Cultivator and Golden Core Cultivators, could enter.
Who knows when they would discover this anomaly!
Gu Changan did not know that the artifact spirit of the treasure gathering basin had already awakened and become powerful.
Gu Changan was still looking for a place to stay in Linxia Ridge.
He looked at many places but was not very satisfied; there were simply no quiet spots.
The Cultivators here gave off an exceptionally dangerous vibe.
Like a venomous snake, you might think nothing of it when looking at it!
But the moment you turn your head, it might bite you.
Eventually, he chose a relatively remote small courtyard where the Spiritual Qi was not very abundant.
Gu Changan favored this place because it was at the end of a road, and usually, no one came by.
But even so, the rent was not cheap; a small courtyard like this in Wenxing City would cost about thirty Spirit Stones a month!
But here, it actually cost sixty Spirit Stones.
As for the reason, it was said to be because it was close to the border and near the Tianji Pavilion.
Frequent battles!
Struggles for resources!
Challenges were intense, and casualties were severe.
The flow of people here was also relatively much larger, so the landlord wasn't worried about finding a tenant!
Gu Changan felt very displeased, but he also had to show an expression of finding it expensive.
Although he didn't care about those few dozen Spirit Stones.
Gu Changan still rented it for three months, a total of one hundred and eighty Spirit Stones!
To Gu Changan's surprise, the landlord actually asked: "What will you use for the transaction?"
Gu Changan asked back: "Then what do you accept here?"
The landlord's expression remained unchanged: "We accept anything!"
"essence blood, soul beads, living souls, corpses, and of course, primarily Spirit Stones."
"If you have some stolen goods that are hard to sell, I can also help you dispose of them!"
The corners of Gu Changan's mouth twitched; as expected of the Blood Fiend Alliance, known for its chaos.
One could actually use these things during a transaction.
It seemed that killing people was a very common occurrence in this area!
Gu Changan carefully noted several of these items.
Then he paid the 180 Spirit Stones.
The landlord left without expression.
Gu Changan was apprehensive; it seemed the courtyard wasn't safe either.
For his future plans, he must collect another set of Formations!
To strengthen his own safety.
The subsequent cultivation followed the routine, but the streets outside the courtyard were noisy.
Gu Changan was always worried that someone would barge in.
As a result, his cultivation was interrupted several times.
Just like that, a month passed in a flash, and Gu Changan finally reached Qi Refining Level 10.
But Gu Changan's heart finally felt at ease.
Because he discovered there were also formulas for Qi Refining Level 11; it seemed the Five Elements Qi Refining Art was much more advanced than the Cultivation Techniques of this world.
He didn't know if it was because his knowledge was shallow or what, but he had not yet seen a Cultivation Technique for Qi Refining Level 11.
Since the technique had changed, the cultivation plan could be adjusted once again.
Previously, he felt he was about to reach the Qi Refining Peak.
And then he would start working on a foundation establishment pill!
But now he wasn't in such a hurry; he could wait a bit longer!
After reaching Qi Refining Level 10, his physical fitness was enhanced once again.
His Soul strength reached twice that of his original Mortal stage!
His Body Refining reached four times that of the Mortal stage!
These results were all worth celebrating; the most important change was that he could now take four top-grade qi gathering pills a day.
No longer did he have to worry about his body being unable to withstand it!
This way, the time for cultivation was shortened again.
According to Gu Changan's estimation, it would take about 18 days to reach Qi Refining Level 11.
Gu Changan estimated the power of the Spells at Qi Refining Level 11.
It was probably twice as strong as an ordinary Qi Refining Level 10.
But compared to the Foundation Establishment Stage, there was still a certain gap.
