Returning to the Everlasting Palace, Mu Xiangxue was about to take out the jar and pearl when Su Chen hastily stopped her.
"Wait."
That pearl's poison wasn't ordinary. If she casually took it out, it would be troublesome if the poison leaked out.
Su Chen brought Mu Xiangxue to a sealed secret chamber under the surface of the lake. He used divine runes to seal the entire secret chamber, then covered himself with layers of divine rune barriers. Only then did he nod to Mu Xiangxue.
Mu Xiangxue casually opened her storage ring and took out the jar.
This jar was very ordinary. It was a jar made of ordinary red clay. It looked rough and had many impurities and cracks. It felt like it would break apart with a gust of wind.
An unusual aura spread out from the jar.
Mu Xiangxue didn't care so much. She directly grabbed the pearl attached to the jar and took it out.
It was a black agate pearl the size of a billiard ball. It looked very heavy. Mu Xiangxue had a hard time holding it.
Su Chen was stunned.
This thing … wasn't it the ghost pearl used to seal ghost servants?
Back then, Ning Xiaoran had been sealed with a yin spirit bead like this.
However, this ghost pearl was clearly much bigger.
Su Chen immediately used the appraisal technique.
"Divine grade ghost pearl: Sealed inside is an Indestructible Ghost King. But because it has been sealed for too long, the Ghost King has already died. However, a part of the Ghost King's soul remains, releasing an endless amount of poison. Ghost spirits can absorb the Ghost King's soul and obtain the Ghost King's strength inheritance."
It turned out that an Undying Calamity Ghost King was sealed inside this Ghost Pearl!
But because it had been sealed for too long, the Ghost King had died.
Su Chen was a little confused.
Could ghosts die?
Didn't they become ghosts after they died?
However, if one thought about it carefully, it was not difficult to understand. The soul was also energy. When the energy was exhausted, the soul would also be extinguished. Everything had its own life. Even a stubborn stone would gradually fade away after being exposed to the elements.
No matter how great the soul energy of the Undying Ghost King was, it couldn't resist the invasion of time. If it didn't die in thousands of years, it would die in a million years.
However, this Ghost King should not be completely dead yet, so it left behind a part of its spirit body.
Su Chen wondered if he could absorb these Ghost King Spirit Bodies.
However, the risk seemed to be a little high. After all, the result of the appraisal was that only ghost spirits could absorb it.
Although Su Chen's soul power was powerful, he was still a living person.
Did Su Chen have ghosts by his side?
It seemed like there was only one Ning Xiaoran.
However, Ning Xiaoran was too weak. Could she withstand the soul energy of Calamity Ghost King?
Forget it, let's call her over to give it a try first.
Ning Xiaoran was still in Dongli Sacred Region. Su Chen transmitted a message to Zi Yaoyao, asking her to bring Ning Xiaoran over.
With the transportation formation, it didn't take long for Zi Yaoyao to bring Ning Xiaoran over.
Ning Xiaoran was still in a daze. She thought that Su Chen had long forgotten about her. She didn't expect to be summoned by Su Chen all of a sudden. She was both expectant and nervous.
I wonder what Master wants me to do.
Zi Yaoyao quickly brought Ning Xiaoran to the Aeon Palace and entered a secret room.
"Xiao Ran greets Master!" Ning Xiaoran immediately became excited when she saw Su Chen.
After not seeing Ning Xiaoran for many years, Su Chen was filled with nostalgia. He forgot about his business and chatted with Ning Xiaoran for a while.
The more he talked, the more excited he became. Su Chen completely forgot about Mu Xiangxue.
Ning Xiaoran didn't feel as nervous as when she first met Su Chen. As they chatted, it was as if they had returned to the time when they were at the Danqing Palace in Chu. Back then, she would often accompany Su Chen and take care of his daily needs. Every late night, when Su Chen was engrossed in reading a book, she would silently accompany him.
"Cough cough …"
Mu Xiangxue finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Su Chen finally remembered his business and said to Ning Xiaoran, "Xiao Ran, I have a chance to make you stronger, but it might be risky. Do you want to give it a try?"
Ning Xiaoran nodded without hesitation and said, "Xiao Ran is not afraid. Master is giving Xiao Ran a chance. Xiao Ran is already endlessly grateful. Even if I die, to be able to die in master's arms, Xiao Ran's life will be complete."
Su Chen blushed with shame. He unhappily pinched Ning Xiaoran's cold face and said, "Don't talk nonsense. There's a risk, but it won't cost you your life."
"Hehe …" Being cared for by Su Chen, Ning Xiaoran happily laughed.
Su Chen was speechless. The ghost servant was also dumbfounded.
"Let's begin." Su Chen said to Mu Xiangxue.
Mu Xiangxue already wanted to end it. She took out the ghost pearl and smashed it with her palm. The Ghost King's soul fragments inside rushed out.
Although only fragments were left, the Ghost King of the Endless Calamity was not to be trifled with. The powerful aura it emitted made Su Chen tremble. Mu Xiangxue fell to the ground and Ning Xiaoran shivered. Her face was pale.
But even so, the Ghost King was still dead. The remaining soul fragments only had power, but they were like headless flies. Apart from the fact that they contained poison, they didn't pose any threat.
Su Chen struck out divine runes and wrapped the soul fragments.
He first picked the smallest fragment and stuffed it into Ning Xiaoran's soul.
"Refine it."
Su Chen said.
Ning Xiaoran raised her spirit and began to refine the Ghost King's fragment with all her might.
In the next moment, Ning Xiaoran seemed to have eaten an all-nourishing pill. Her aura exploded and broke through to the Foundation Building realm.
Strictly speaking, the strength of the soul wasn't divided according to the cultivator's realm. But the three thousand Great Daos all led to the same destination.
"Can you hold on?" Su Chen asked.
Ning Xiaoran said, "No problem, master. I feel pretty good. It doesn't matter if it's a bit more."
Su Chen nodded. He struck out a larger soul fragment and fused it with Ning Xiaoran's soul.
"Ah …"
Su Chen blushed with shame. You're a bit ecstatic.
"Not enough, continue … master, continue!
Don't pity Xiao Ran. "
Su Chen's mouth twitched.
But Su Chen also saw that these soul fragments wouldn't cause any harm to Ning Xiaoran.
Since that was the case, Su Chen didn't waste any more time. He placed all the remaining fragments into Ning Xiaoran's body.
"Ahhh!"
Ning Xiaoran let out a female ghost-like scream.
Although she was a female ghost.
Ning Xiaoran's aura continued to rise. Spirit Focus Realm, Reincarnation Realm.
She didn't even need to undergo tribulation and directly stepped into the Sea of Reincarnation Realm.
A Heaven Realm little ghost servant stepped into the Sea of Reincarnation Realm in the blink of an eye. It was simply miraculous.
It seemed like the remaining energy of the Ghost King's soul was still sufficient.
But Su Chen was now worried about Ning Xiaoran. Would her consciousness be taken over by the Ghost King after obtaining such a huge amount of power?
Don't be taken over.
