The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 315 - 314 Demon Soul

Chapter 315: Chapter 314 Demon Soul

"With me here, it should be the ghosts that avoid us, not us avoiding them."

Ye Xuan said with a smiling face, unafraid.

This statement, when heard by everyone, brought reassurance.

Although they didn’t know where Ye Xuan’s confidence came from, they understood very well that given Ye Xuan’s character, he wouldn’t make empty promises.

Despite feeling scared, none of the people left; instead, they chose to stay put.

On the other hand, the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect and the Canghai Sect had teamed up.

The path they chose was close to the one taken by Ye Xuan and the others.

When any commotion occurred on Ye Xuan’s side, the people from the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect and the Canghai Sect were the first to notice it.

"Although strength is not bad, in this Ghost Tomb, what matters more are experience and intellect. Blindly charging in will lead to death," Yun Chen said, shaking his head with a trace of disdain in his eyes.

He admitted that Ye Xuan had considerable strength, but entering the Ghost Tomb, relying solely on strength was useless.

Because the ’ghosts’ inside wouldn’t be afraid of any one person.

The path of cultivation is incredibly long.

The realms of cultivation are divided into: Body Refinement, Reach Profound, Divine Gate, Daoist Platform, Inscriptions, Earth Element, Grotto Heaven, and Heavenly Phenomenon,

The first five realms focus primarily on tempering the flesh body and hammering the fundamentals.

While in the Earth Element, Grotto Heaven, and Heavenly Phenomenon realms, the focus is primarily on comprehending, mastering, and manipulating the Power of Heaven and Earth.

Above the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm is the Life Palace Realm!

And the Life Palace Realm is a major hurdle.

Only by unlocking the Life Palace and awakening the Life Soul, can one truly understand the essence of a person.

Only cultivators at this level are considered true Great Cultivators.

After the Life Palace Realm, one can then perceive the presence of the soul.

Cultivators at this level can even launch soul attacks that catch people off guard.

The ’ghosts’ in this Ghost Tomb can be considered as Great Cultivators of the Life Palace Realm.

However, they differ significantly from Great Cultivators of the Life Palace Realm.

Their attacks consist merely of soul attacks, and they cannot use Divine Communication Skills.

But they have one thing that makes them harder to handle than Life Palace Realm cultivators.

That is, their existence is in a state where they cannot be attacked!

Daoist Magic has no effect whatsoever on these ’ghosts’.

That’s why there’s a saying in the Ghost Tomb, ’If you encounter a ghost, avoid it.’

You can’t beat them, you can only run.

If a Life Palace Realm cultivator were to come here, they wouldn’t face as much danger.

But then there would be no point in their training.

Thus, the cultivators who enter the Ghost Tomb are all young cultivators below the Life Palace Realm, allowing them to gain experience here and learn how to face danger.

"These guys are just uncultured bumpkins who have never seen the world; it wouldn’t be surprising if they all got wiped out here in the Ghost Tomb," Jiang Yunqi sneered.

These words made Hua Qiuchen secretly curl his lips at the side.

Of everyone present, Jiang Yunqi was perhaps the least qualified to say that.

Nevertheless, Jiang Yunqi shamelessly mocked Ye Xuan, which Hua Qiuchen found rather contemptible.

"If they encounter a ’ghost,’ it means their opportunity has come." Hua Qiuchen said.

"Not necessarily, if they aren’t quick enough to escape, dying is a very real possibility, do you remember what happened with the Mountain Sect?" Yun Chen asked.

"Of course, I remember," Hua Qiuchen nodded.

The Mountain Sect, a third-rate sect in the Southern Domain, happened to seize an opportunity and joined the ranks of first-rate powers, becoming eligible to compete for the opportunities in the Ghost Tomb.

Subsequently, the Mountain Sect sent out three thousand disciples into the Ghost Tomb.

Due to a lack of experience and the disciples’ arrogance, all of them died inside the Ghost Tomb, none survived.

That incident was then used as a negative example by other powers in the Southern Domain to instruct their disciples.

"Pride leads to downfall," Yun Chen snorted softly, saying nothing more.

But internally he mused: Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan, though your strength and talent are formidable, the dangers inside the Ghost Tomb are many. Enjoy carefully...

"Let’s go and see," Yun Chen took the initiative to head in the direction of Ye Xuan and the others.

"Are you going to seize their opportunities?" Hua Qiuchen revealed a hint of a smile.

Yun Chen also smiled, "Opportunities are meant to be competed for. Those guys can’t beat the ghosts for sure. Let them draw the ghosts away while we snatch the opportunities."

"Hahaha, Brother Yun Chen, that’s what I love about you," Hua Qiuchen laughed heartily.

Jiang Yunqi couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile too.

Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan, you might just become our stepping stone.

While Yun Chen and Hua Qiuchen were talking, on Ye Xuan’s side.

A huge, translucent phantom fully emerged.

It was a giant wolf with three heads.

"A Three-headed Demon Wolf? Isn’t that an Eighth Rank Demon Beast?"

When they saw it clearly, everyone from the Emperor Immortal Sect sharply inhaled a breath of cold air.

"This is the Demon Soul of the Three-headed Demon Wolf!"

Roar!

The Demon Soul of the Three-headed Demon Wolf suddenly let out a great roar, shaking heaven and earth.

The members of the Emperor Immortal Sect all had pale faces, filled with extreme fear.

A demon soul of an Eighth Rank Demon Beast could kill them in a matter of seconds!

How terrifying!

Unconsciously, they all glanced at Ye Xuan from the corners of their eyes.

Big Senior Brother, please make your move, I’m really panicking!

They silently muttered.

Ye Xuan looked at the demon soul and mumbled, "A demon soul of an Eighth Rank Demon Beast, it seems a bit unimpressive..."

Zhou Bingyi, who was standing quite close to Ye Xuan, heard his words clearly, and her heart couldn’t help but be shocked.

"Brother-in-law, that’s a demon soul of an Eighth Rank Demon Beast!" Zhou Bingyi couldn’t help but whisper a reminder.

"I know." Ye Xuan didn’t waste words and directly used the Soul Box.

"Open."

Boom!

The Soul Box opened instantly, and the ancient Dao Patterns on it surged.

A terrifying power of devouring burst forth all at once.

"Ao——"

The previously ferocious Three-headed Demon Wolf’s demon soul immediately let out a scream of fear and was devoured by the Soul Box.

Boom!

After absorbing the Three-headed Demon Wolf’s demon soul, the Soul Box closed instantly.

All was calm again.

Ye Xuan put the Soul Box back into his storage ring and walked over to the short grave mound, smilingly saying, "Let’s see what good treasures are here."

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Damn it.

That’s it?!

Could it be any simpler?

In that moment, Zhou Youwei understood the words Ye Xuan had just said.

"With me here, it’s the ghosts who should avoid us, not the other way around."

Now it seemed, it truly was the case.

A demon soul of a Three-headed Demon Wolf was just killed off like that.

From the pitiful scream of the Three-headed Demon Wolf just now, it seemed it really wanted to flee.

Unfortunately, there was no chance at all.

As everyone was dumbstruck, Ye Xuan started digging up the grave mound.

"Not too good..."

Ye Xuan looked at the things below and shook his head slightly.

Inside lay a dozen treasures.

All were Spiritual Artifacts.

"Wow, are all these Top Grade Ninth Refinement Spiritual Artifacts?!"

One of the disciples exclaimed.

Everyone else quickly gathered around.

Among the items, all were Spiritual Artifacts.

And they were all Top Grade Ninth Refinement Spiritual Artifacts!

Just like elixirs, weapons are also graded.

Ordinary weapons are divided into: Lower Grade, Middle Grade, High Grade, Top Grade.

Spiritual Artifacts are also divided into four grades, but unlike ordinary weapons, they need an Artifact Refiner’s forging, hence the subdivision into nine refinements.

The first refinement is the weakest, and the ninth the strongest.

Top Grade Ninth Refinement Spiritual Artifacts are equivalent to a Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill.

Normally, only Eighth to Ninth Rank Artifact Refiners can forge this level of Spiritual Energy!

Definitely valuable!

"You guys take them and share them." Ye Xuan, not interested in these spiritual artifacts, handed them to Tan Qingshan to distribute among everyone.

"Tian Lu, let’s continue." Ye Xuan patted Tian Lu next to him, saying.

"Okay!" Tian Lu, particularly enthusiastic about treasure hunting, started running again.

Everyone also hurriedly followed.

After they all left, two groups of people arrived.

It was the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect and the Canghai Sect.

"Eh, where are they?" Jiang Yunqi asked, puzzled.

Yun Chen and Hua Qiuchen also began to assess the situation discreetly.

The two exchanged glances, both discerning the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

"Quick, look, that place has been dug up!" a disciple pointed at the grave mound Ye Xuan had dug up.

Yun Chen and Hua Qiuchen walked over and, seeing the results, both frowned and said, "Someone else has beaten us to it."

"This area should only have the Emperor Immortal Sect, could there have been others sneaking around?"

"There’s movement ahead, let’s go look!"
