The little ghost had long been hypnotized and was under Su Jing’s control. Although intangible, it still emitted fluctuations in its spiritual essence. It shouldn’t have been able to escape Su Jing’s detection within that space. Could it have escaped from the ordinary space altogether?
“Qingyun, did something escape from here?” Su Jing inquired.
“No,” Qingyun replied.
Su Jing nodded. Even if the little ghost had absorbed Yin Qi from the coffin and experienced rapid growth, it should still be far from breaking through the spatial barrier compared to the escaped Undead.
Even if the spatial barrier were breached, it shouldn’t have evaded Qingyun’s detection. Even the escaped Undead could be sensed by Qingyun.
“Could it be that the little ghost is already dead?” Su Jing considered another possibility, one that seemed more plausible.
However, it puzzled him as to how the little ghost could have inexplicably perished, especially considering the tremendous benefits it should have derived from the Yin Qi-filled coffin, which should have significantly bolstered its strength.
Su Jing couldn’t comprehend the situation. He meticulously examined the coffin, scrutinizing every inch of it. In addition to sensing an increased eeriness emanating from the coffin, he also discovered intricate runes engraved on its bottom.
“Wait, these runes… I’ve seen them before.” Su Jing’s heart skipped a beat when he suddenly thought of something.
He requested Qingyun to transmit the recently organized paper trash from the vacuum space and swiftly searched through it. He soon stumbled upon some information regarding runes.
Though the information regarding runes was only briefly mentioned, it primarily focused on something related to them— the Beast Soul. It detailed the process of controlling and refining the Beast Soul within one’s body.
When Su Jing initially came across this information, he didn’t pay much attention to it. It wasn’t that refining the Beast Soul was futile; on the contrary, if one could successfully integrate the Beast Soul into their body, their strength would undoubtedly soar, enabling them to directly confront Undead Creatures.
This was precisely what Su Jing needed the most at the moment. However, the problem lay in the fact that the Beast Soul was a phenomenon unique to the “World of Immortals” Universe and didn’t exist on Earth.
Even if there were methods, they would be in vain without the actual Beast Soul.
“Why would there be runes for refining the Beast Soul on this coffin? Could it be…” A sudden realization dawned upon Su Jing. The Beast Soul and the Undead had a commonality— they were both souls of the deceased.
Perhaps the Undead couldn’t refine the Beast Soul into their bodies like the Barbarians, but they could control the Beast Soul to harness various benefits for themselves.
Right from the start, Su Jing had sensed that there was something extraordinary about the coffin. The intense Yin Qi it emitted perplexed him, but now he had a potential answer.
Throughout Su Jing’s contemplation, the Holy Light had been enveloping the coffin, purifying the dense Yin Qi surrounding it.
Previously, to preserve the coffin, Su Jing swiftly transferred it into the ordinary space, avoiding the illumination of the Holy Light. However, now he deliberately allowed it to bathe the coffin as he focused intently on the scene.
After a brief moment, the dissipating Yin Qi accelerated, causing the coffin to tremble. Suddenly, a piercing and agonized scream resonated as a massive black shadow, resembling a dragon, erupted from the runes at the bottom of the coffin and ruthlessly lunged at Su Jing.
Su Jing’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he swiftly exited the ordinary space, evading the black dragon’s attack. It promptly retreated back into the coffin, vanishing amidst the intricate runes.
“So, there truly is a sealed Beast Soul within this coffin, and it’s a potent Dragon Soul!” Su Jing’s elation knew no bounds as his heart raced with anticipation. Finally, he comprehended why the coffin exuded an even greater eeriness and the reason behind the little ghost’s demise.
It was likely that the little ghost had absorbed the Yin Qi from within, which had provoked the Dragon Soul and led to its devouring. After all, not everyone could suppress a Dragon Soul as effectively as that powerful Undead.
…
Excitement coursed through Su Jing as he contemplated the information on the scraps of paper once again. “Here are the methods for refining Beast Souls into the body. I should give it a try. If I can successfully refine this Dragon Soul into my body, my strength will undoubtedly skyrocket. My spiritual force will soar, and the range of Holy Light from the Angel Badge will expand. Moreover, with the power of the Dragon Soul, I can directly confront that Undead.” The prospect of this endeavor thrilled Su Jing as he carefully absorbed the details on the scraps of paper once again.
However, he soon realized a significant obstacle— he was too weak.
Refining Beast Souls necessitated not only specific methods but also personal strength, encompassing the body, mind, True Qi, and various other aspects. The stronger the Beast Soul one aimed to refine, the greater the strength required.
Su Jing estimated that he was far from possessing the necessary power to refine the Dragon Soul. If he rashly attempted it, even the slightest mistake would trigger a backlash from the Dragon Soul, resulting in certain death.
“I urgently need to enhance my strength.” Su Jing grew slightly impatient, though he understood that increasing his power wasn’t an easy feat. He had diligently practiced The Way of Silence, the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Scripture, and the Profound Water True Technique, following a gradual progression.
He had also consumed nourishing items like Lantian Silver Thread Rice, Iron Python Lizard Meat, Jade Fang Fish, and others to gradually enhance his strength. Yet, making a significant leap in power in a short span seemed unlikely.
“If only I could find an advanced cultivation technique from the ‘World of Immortals’ Universe or come across some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, there might still be hope.” Su Jing held onto this hope as he returned to the upper hemisphere space to continue sifting through the trash from the ‘World of Immortals’ Universe.
He diligently searched through the pile of fallen leaves, paying close attention to the intricate runes adorning them. As he rummaged, a thought struck him— what if these runes on the fallen leaves could be repaired by the Little White Mouse?
Su Jing summoned the Little White Mouse to attempt the repair them and to his delight, it proved successful. The fallen leaves bearing runes gradually merged, flying out of the leaf pile and seamlessly combining together.
However, the process was painstakingly slow. Only a small portion had been repaired before signs of exhaustion appeared in the Little White Mouse. The difficulty of repairing these fallen leaves surpassed Su Jing’s expectations.
