Chapter 527: New Soul Refining Sect

Wang Lin was outside the ravine. At this moment, his eyes flashed, and he grabbed at the Void Realm with his right hand, shouting, “Collect!”

As soon as he spoke, roars and howls of Heavenly Ghosts immediately came from within the ravine. At the same time, a black light shot out from the ravine at an extremely fast speed, rushing straight towards Wang Lin.

Wang Lin quickly retreated, but the black light pursued him relentlessly.

Wang Lin snorted coldly. As he retreated, he touched his Storage Pouch, and instantly the Kunji Whip was in his hand. With a flick, a crisp crack sounded, and the Heavenly Ghost immediately groaned in pain, its momentum of attack slowing down.

The Kunji Whip specialized in striking Primordial Spirits. This Heavenly Ghost had no Physical Body, so it was clearly of the soul and Primordial Spirit type.

The Heavenly Ghost, in pain, became even more ferocious. It disregarded the pain and frantically lunged at Wang Lin, its appearance extremely hideous and emanating Evil Qi.

Two strands of gray qi, like needles, rapidly threaded through its body, continuously draining a large amount of the Heavenly Ghost's vitality. But at this moment, the Heavenly Ghost didn't even glance at them, rushing straight towards Wang Lin. Wherever it passed, the grass withered and turned yellow, looking quite eerie.

Wang Lin's eyes revealed a cold glint. He didn't retreat a single step, swiftly lashing out with the Kunji Whip in his hand. With several cracking sounds of the whip, the attacking Heavenly Ghost immediately let out miserable groans. Finally, under extreme pain, it had to give up and turned to flee.

Wang Lin knew that the Heavenly Ghost was at its weakest right now. If it escaped and recovered, it would be extremely troublesome to deal with in the future. After searching Luo Yun's memory, Wang Lin already knew that after its betrayal, this Heavenly Ghost needed a first seven-day and a forty-nine-day recovery period.

He barely hesitated, suddenly throwing the Kunji Whip forward. The whip immediately shot out like a swimming Dragon, coiling towards the Heavenly Ghost.

The Heavenly Ghost was extremely ferocious. Seeing no hope of escape, it suddenly turned around, opened its ghostly mouth, and fiercely spat forward. A green ghostly flame instantly erupted from its mouth, like a vast sea of fire, directly engulfing the Kunji Whip.

This ghostly fire was the Heavenly Ghost's innate fire, its most powerful attack method. The Heavenly Ghost's hatred for Wang Lin was slightly less than its hatred for this whip; it truly hated this whip!

In its view, this whip was specifically designed to deal with Heavenly Ghosts. It would destroy this item even if it died. It had only heard of one such Magic Treasure in its life, but that Magic Treasure had long since disappeared from this world and certainly would not exist anymore.

Now, it had decided that it must destroy this strange Magic Treasure in front of it that specifically countered Heavenly Ghosts. That was why, despite its weakened state, it still used its innate fire!

The moment its innate fire erupted, Wang Lin's expression changed. He had long known this Heavenly Ghost was powerful, so he had hesitated slightly on this trip, but considering that the Heavenly Ghost was at its weakest, he decided to come and capture it.

But at this moment, seeing the flames, Wang Lin's heart trembled. He didn't directly resist the flames, but he still felt the strangeness of this fire; it didn't burn the Physical Body, but specifically burned the Primordial Spirit.

Almost immediately, Wang Lin clearly felt waves of scorching pain coming from his Primordial Spirit. He had no time to worry about the Kunji Whip and immediately retreated.

However, at this moment, the surface of the Kunji Whip, which was covered by the Heavenly Ghost's innate fire, suddenly emitted cracking sounds. A golden light abruptly flashed within it. This golden light only flashed once before immediately disappearing without a trace.

But even that single flash made Wang Lin's eyes narrow.

With a flash of golden light, the Heavenly Ghost's fire covering it immediately extinguished. The extinguishing was not gradual, but instantaneous, as if slapped by an invisible large hand, it vanished instantly.

After the flames extinguished, the Heavenly Ghost's expression became even more peculiar, as if it had seen an incredible sight. It shrieked and quickly fled.

But it was too late. With that flash of golden light, not only did the flames extinguish, but the Heavenly Ghost's body also immediately became transparent. Almost instantly, the Heavenly Ghost screamed in horror, and its entire body rapidly dissipated.

Wang Lin moved like lightning, rushing out directly and grabbing the Kunji Whip from the Void Realm. The whip vibrated and immediately flew back into Wang Lin's hand.

Gripping the whip, Wang Lin let out a sigh of relief. The golden light on the whip just now was too strange.

Looking at the Heavenly Ghost now, if Wang Lin hadn't retrieved the whip in time, it would have surely died instantly. Even now, it was on the verge of death, its body slowly dissipating.

Wang Lin slapped his Storage Pouch, and with the Soul Banner in hand, he swept it, coiling the Heavenly Ghost into it. The special environment within the Soul Banner prevented the Heavenly Ghost from dissipating further.

After doing all this, Wang Lin carefully examined the Kunji Whip in his hand. After being burned by the Heavenly Ghost's fire, the whip had undergone some changes. Layers of curled-up fine skin, when touched slightly, were extremely hard.

As he looked, Wang Lin suddenly had a strange feeling. This whip, after being burned by the fire, was like a snake shedding its skin, but now, it had just shed its skin and had not yet completed the process.

A moment later, Wang Lin put away the whip. He gazed into the distance, and after discerning the direction, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished from the spot.

Three days later, Wang Lin saw the valley from afar. At this moment, the Formation light slowly flowed over the valley, and a powerful pressure gradually spread out.

This pressure was very familiar to Wang Lin; it came from the Restriction Banner!

When Wang Lin left earlier, he had taken out the Restriction Banner, and with this banner combined with the Formation, the valley was able to remain safe amidst the冲击 of the Demon Spirit Waves.

His figure was like electricity, and he instantly arrived outside the valley. With a step, he directly entered the valley. He had broken this valley's Formation once before, and with the Fusion of the Restriction Banner, Wang Lin could come and go freely within this Formation.

The moment his figure appeared inside the valley, he immediately saw the valley residents sitting in the center of the valley, listening to Ouyang Hua speak.

Ouyang Hua immediately saw Wang Lin, and his face showed surprise and joy. He quickly walked through the crowd and bowed deeply to Wang Lin from afar, respectfully saying, “Welcome back, Immortal!”

At this moment, he had no disrespect in his heart. He had personally seen Wang Lin and another outsider leave together, but now that the Immortal had returned, this could only mean one thing: the outsider had been killed by Wang Lin!

In Ouyang Hua's view, when two outsiders met, it was inevitably a life-or-death situation.

“The depths of the valley are considered a Forbidden Land; do not trespass!” Wang Lin left these words, stepped on the ground, and in a blink of an eye, disappeared from everyone's sight, entering the depths of the valley.

Ouyang Hua's face showed wild joy. He took a deep breath, thinking that if an Immortal was stationed here, then future safety would be greatly guaranteed! Not only that, but expanding their territory would also be much easier!

Thinking of this, a fanatic glint appeared in Ouyang Hua's eyes. He suddenly turned and looked at the residents in the valley, loudly saying, “The depths of the valley are forbidden for anyone to enter. You must keep a close eye on your children, do not violate the clan rules!”

Most of the surrounding residents nodded, but a few showed displeasure on their faces. One brawny man muttered, “Why can't we go there? That's the coolest place in the whole valley.”

Ouyang Hua glared and shouted, “This is a clan rule! From today onwards, this rule will be included in the clan rules. Violators will be expelled from the valley to fend for themselves!”

As soon as these words came out, the dissenters immediately fell silent, no one daring to say another word.

Perhaps feeling that his words were too rigid, Ouyang Hua coughed and added, “This valley is too small; we should change it… Your families should also add some women… Our clan should also expand…”

The surrounding residents, hearing these words, immediately had their eyes turn red, revealing a hint of madness. One of them stepped forward a few paces and loudly said, “Elder, is it time for war?”

Ouyang Hua nodded fiercely.

Wang Lin sat cross-legged in the depths of the valley. The reason he chose to stay here temporarily was for another plan. In this Demon Spirit Land, to gain a foothold, one must have strength, and beyond that, one must have military achievements!

He definitely had to go to Ancient Demon City, but before that, he needed to make some preparations.

It was difficult to carve out a path in Ancient Demon City. Moreover, according to Luo Yun's memory, there were many experts in the mansion of the Left Wing Demon General in Ancient Demon City. These people were all native residents of the Demon Spirit Land. Their Cultivation was primarily based on Demonic Power, and their Divine Abilities were the same.

Although Wang Lin had never truly seen anyone use Demonic Power Divine Abilities, Luo Yun had, and Luo Yun's ancestors had also been in contact with them for a long time.

If it were before he searched Luo Yun's soul, Wang Lin would have immediately gone to Ancient Demon City without hesitation, but now, he had changed his mind.

“Instead of going to Ancient Demon City and entering the Left Wing Demon General's mansion now, it would be better to educate the residents here in this valley, making them obey my commands. I will teach them Spells and Divine Abilities. In this way, after countless years, I will have an additional force of my own.”

Wang Lin's eyes showed contemplation, then a flash of decisiveness.

“Those who achieve great things are not constrained by trifles. I will impart to them the art of the Soul Banner. This art is relatively easy to learn and fits the need for slaughter. The more they kill, the more souls they can gather, and the more powerful they become.

In this way, I can also take the opportunity to see if I can repair the Ten Billion Soul Banner. Once repaired, I will not fear Soul Transformation Cultivators. Among the foreign Cultivators here, I will surely be in the top ten!

Only then will I have a chance to ultimately obtain the Ancient Demon Spirit!”

Thinking of this, Wang Lin took a deep breath and touched his Storage Pouch. Two Jade Slips immediately appeared in his hand. His Divine Sense swept over them, and he immediately left some Incantations on them.

Within the Soul Refining Sect, there are three methods: Soul Refining, Soul Extraction, and Soul Locking!

Among them, Soul Locking could only be Cultivated by direct descendants of previous generations. In reality, this Soul Locking technique was originally prepared for the Ten Billion Soul Banner; it was the method for controlling this banner.

As for Soul Refining and Soul Extraction, they were the foundation of the Soul Refining Sect!

Besides these two methods, crafting one's own Soul Banner was also one of the primary choices for becoming an入門 Disciple. Only by crafting a Soul Banner could one be considered a true Soul Refining Sect Disciple.

Among them, Soul Refining was the refining of existing souls, while Soul Extraction was the extraction of souls from living people.

Wang Lin only left the Early Stage Incantations for the Soul Refining and Soul Extraction methods in the Jade Slips. After a slight contemplation, he also simply left the method for crafting a Soul Banner within them. Crafting a Soul Banner according to this method would have a fatal flaw, a flaw that only Wang Lin himself knew.

It could even be said that through this flaw, he could ignore the opponent's refinement and directly control the opponent's Soul Banner as his own!

Wang Lin was naturally cautious and would not impart Cultivation Techniques without reservation!
