Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 3996: Ghost Spirit Crystal



These words sounded very reasonable.

However, as Ling Han looked at those Yin souls that were endlessly advancing in the distance, he shook his head, and asked, "Why do these Yin souls not devour each other?"

"This... I don't know either," the great yin soul said.

Ling Han laughed loudly, "My memory is not that bad. Previously, when you came, your first words were 'why Yin souls are missing'. As it turned out, it was I who had cut off the yin souls here. Thus, you are deliberately guiding these Yin souls to some place."

The great yin soul was dumbfounded. Why was this living soul's intelligence so high?

"Do you think that I have just developed intelligence like you?" Ling Han scoffed. Their intelligence were on two completely different levels.

The great Yin soul was rendered speechless.

"Don't forget, you only have one chance," Ling Han said calmly.

The large Yin soul hesitated for a moment, then said, "In front of us, there is a small piece of Ghost Spirit Crystal. For low-level Yin souls, it is an irresistible temptation, so they would all be attracted, and then begin fighting over it."

"In this kind of contest, the yin souls would devour each other, and ultimately, develop intelligence."

Ling Han nodded in understanding. This was more logical.

"Since the Ghost Spirit Crystal is so useful, why didn't you seize it?"

The large yin soul hesitated for a moment, then said, "Lord Gaddallah placed it there. Its purpose is to produce a yin soul with intelligence, and turn it into its subordinate."

"Oh, what's the deal about this Gaddallah?" Ling Han asked. "Come, come, come. Don't simply answer one question at a time. Tell me everything you know. En, let's start from after you developed intelligence."

Ling Han listened to what the great Yin soul said.

This was actually not all that complicated. The place that Ling Han was presently in was the territory of the Western Desert King, and this Western Desert King was equivalent to an elite of the Sect Master-level.

Aside from the Western Desert King, there were also seven True Lord Tier-level Great Yin Souls, and the subordinates of these seven Great Yin Souls naturally included the True Self Tier, the Core Formation Tier yin souls, and they had all developed intelligence.

How was it developed?

It was very simple. They would devour each other, and when they devoured each other to a certain extent, they would be able to develop intelligence.

Not only that, as long as it continued to devour its peers, the Yin soul could continue to become stronger.

For example, the Western Desert King had started from the True Self Tier and devoured who knew how many dead souls before finally becoming Sect Master-level.

Why did it start from the True Self Tier?

Because the Western Desert King was an elite when he was alive, the Yin soul after death was also very powerful, and its starting point far surpassed other Yin souls.

And after reaching Sect Master-level, it was already impossible for the Western Desert King to improve further by devouring ordinary Yin souls. Thus, if it wanted to become stronger, it could only devour Yin souls that were similarly Sect Master-level.

However, as fellow Sect Masters, who was weaker than the other?

Thus, these super powerful Yin souls would work hard to nurture their subordinates, and build an army to help themselves.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Of course, if his subordinate continued to become stronger, and suddenly advanced, the Western Desert King would not mind devouring this subordinate.

However, it was unknown how many Yin souls one would have to devour to gain intelligence. Then, it would become more and more difficult. To advance from the Spiritual Transformation Tier to the Minor Advanced Tier was as difficult as ascending the heavens, and it was unknown how many tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years it would take for one to appear.

Thankfully, Yin souls did not have the limitations of lifespan, so they could just continue waiting like this.

Ling Han took a deep breath, though this action was very unnecessary. They were presently in the territory of a Sect Master-level Yin soul, and if they accidentally encountered such an elite, they would not even have the chance to flee.

His soul could not return, and his physical body would slowly decay.

With a thought, he decided to continue.

This kind of method to strengthen his soul was really too simple and too easy, making him feel as if he had become addicted, and could not get rid of it no matter what.

He just had to be careful.

He killed that great yin soul with a single punch, and the soul naturally strengthened further. This was a yin soul of a Core Formation Tier, and its nourishing effects were slightly stronger than other yin souls.

Ling Han continued to hunt Yin souls, but this time, he did not block off all the Yin souls here. Instead, he released half of them. In any case, there were many Yin souls here.

After killing for a while, he stopped and purified his soul.

Just like that, after only a month, Ling Han discovered that his soul had become extremely strong. It was like a water bag that was already filled to the brim, swelling to an

uncomfortable extent.

His soul had already reached the peak stage of the Core Formation Tier.

After killing a few more Yin souls, the strength of Ling Han's soul surpassed the threshold of the Core Formation Tier and advanced into the True Self Tier.

Of course, it was only the soul's strength that surpassed Core Formation Tier. In terms of cultivation level, he was still at the Core Formation Tier.

Ling Han had no intention of crossing over either. This was something that could be forcibly increased through killing Yin souls, and not something that he had cultivated himself. After all, this was not reliable.

It was just like using natural treasures to directly increase one's cultivation level. What was the point of achieving such a cultivation level? In a battle of equal cultivation levels, one's strength would definitely be pitifully low.

Thus, Ling Han was only increasing the strength of his soul now, but the cultivation level of his soul was still at the same level. When he returned to his physical body, he would improve it together with his physical body. Only then would the cultivation level he had cultivated

become stronger.

However, when the strength of his soul had advanced into the level of the True Self Tier, killing Yin souls would no longer be able to help him improve any further.

If he hadn't encountered the large yin soul soul from before, Ling Han definitely wouldn't have understood, but now he knew that this was a bottleneck. In the future, he could only kill True Self Tier yin souls, and only then would he be able to continue improving the strength of

his soul.

This wouldn't be fast, because there were only so many True Self Tier yin souls. Furthermore, they had all developed intelligence, so it would be extremely difficult to hunt them. Furthermore, Yin souls of this level could be considered the most capable subordinates of the Western Desert King. The death of one would definitely draw attention, and a great search

would be carried out.

Thus, he had to be careful.

However, there was still another option, and that was the Ghost Spirit Crystal.

Why could Yin souls scramble madly for this? That was because this could increase the

strength of Yin souls, causing Yin souls to have an instinctive need.

The Ghost Spirit Crystal could improve Yin souls, and for living souls like them, it was also a

nutritious saintly item.

Thus, Ling Han decided to steal the Ghost Spirit Crystal.

He walked in the direction that the Yin souls were advancing in. After walking for about half a

day, he saw that those Yin souls had all become irritable and uneasy, and Ling Han could also vaguely sense that there was an indescribable fragrance ahead of him, which made him feel

comfortable all over.

Was that the Ghost Spirit Crystal?

A bit further ahead, the Yin souls began to fight with each other. The winning side would devour the losing side, and thus become much stronger. In this way, the victor would become stronger, and stand out from the rest.

Ling Han didn't get too close. He was a living soul, and for a yin soul, his temptation wasn't much inferior to that of the Ghost Spirit Crystal. However, he retracted his soul fluctuations very well. Unless one could see him "with the naked eye", they would not be able to discover

him.

In terms of strength of Spiritual Power, the True Self Tier-level vision was only about three thousand meters.

"En?" Ling Han was surprised, and looked to the side. The yin souls there were rioting, as if

they had gone mad.
