Chapter 334
Xiao Jinting followed Long Xue and Fu Li on the eighth floor for more than a month and found nothing.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Xiao Jinting quickly sensed the danger.
Long Xue grabbed Xiao Jinting and threw him ahead. Xiao Jinting was caught off guard, angry that Long Xue used him to ward off the danger.
The cold wind enveloped Xiao Jinting, who felt he was bound by an invisible force.
In an instant, Xiao Jinting realized that why Long Xue took him along.
Surrounded by the cold air, Xiao Jinting suddenly thought of the tribe of Ghost mentioned in the Heavenly Demon Body Refining Manual.
The Ghost was one type of the Demon. It had no form and was good at seizing bodies.
The Heaven Demon Body Refining Manual had mentioned this tribe, and Xiao Jinting later made a thorough investigation. The Ghost used to be rampant in the ancient times, and it had snatched the bodies of countless races.
Eyes darkening, Xiao Jinting seemed to see Xu Muan, Xiao Xiaodong, Xiao Xiaofan, and Xiao Xiaojin being chased and killed in front of him while he could do nothing to save them.
His mind was in a whirl. He looked back and saw vaguely that Long Xue and Fu Li had retreated not far away to watch.
Xiao Jinting used a teleportation talisman and left.
Long Xue and Fu Li were shocked to find that Xiao Jinting had suddenly disappeared.
“He is gone. He seemed to have used a talisman and ran away,” Fu Li said.
Long Xue frowned and said suspiciously, “Talismans doesn’t work in this place.”
Fu Li narrowed his eyes and said, “I didn’t expect this Golden Core to be so cunning. Has his body been snatched?”
“I don’t think so. It shouldn’t be that fast,” Long Xue said.
“So he had planned this long ago?” When Xiao Jinting was attacked, he used the talisman. If he had not seen it coming, he would not have reacted so quickly.
Long Xue’s face darkened.
Fu Li explored with his soul force and shook his head, “I can’t find him.”
He was depressed. If they had been somewhere else, Xiao Jinting could not have escaped with a few teleportation talismans from the searching of his soul force. However, the eighth floor of the tower not only restricted the spiritual power but also the soul force of the cultivators.
After Xiao Jinting used the teleportation talisman, he sighed in relief when he saw that Long Xue and Fu Li didn’t chase him.
When he was with Long Xue, Xiao Jinting used the Heavenly Demon Body Refining Method to absorb some demonic power. Afraid to arouse suspicion, he was very careful and didn’t absorb too much. He worked hard for more than a month and had absorbed the power to use a teleportation talisman.
Xiao Jinting opened his eyes and saw a grey bead lying quietly in his palm.
Xiao Jinting let out a sigh of relief. The Ghost in ancient times was rampant. Many noble tribes had been eliminated. The ghost had once snatched bodies of some human Deity Transformation cultivators and caused an internal strife within the humans. Noble demonic beasts were no exception.
How did the Ghosts get extinct? Someone invented a Soul-refining Manual.
The Ghost was purely a soul before it snatched bodies, so it had no resistance against Soul Refining Method. Many people found that after it was killed by Soul Refining Method, the Ghost would turn into a Soul Bead, which was beneficial to the soul.
It takes very strong soul force for a Nascent Soul cultivator to advance to Deity Transformation. However, it was very difficult to strengthen the soul force. After the humans found out that the soul bead of the Ghost could strengthen the soul force, the Ghost suffered slaughter of a thousand years. As a result, the Ghost had disappeared for a million years.
Xiao Jinting did not expect that there were Ghosts in the Tower of Babel.
When the Ghost seized the body, it would first disturb the victim’s mind and create the scene dreaded the most by the victim before it launched an attack.
From the Heavenly Demon Body Refining Manual, Xiao Jinting had learned how to collect the soul of the Ghost, so he easily killed the Ghost that attempted to seize his body.
Xiao Jinting took a deep breath and absorbed the dense demonic Qi.
Xiao Jinting smiled. His guess was right. The eighth floor was filled with demonic Qi. The Heavenly Demon Body Refining Manual was actually a demon cultivation method, which included the way to absorb demonic Qi and refine the body.
When he escaped from Long Xue and Fu Li, he used a talisman. In fact, the amount of spiritual Qi he could use here was too limited to activate a talisman. Therefore he activated the talisman with demonic Qi, which he had absorbed during the one month with Long Xue.
After escaping from Long Xue, Xiao Jinting breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that Long Xue must have guessed that he had a secret. The reason that she didn’t do anything to him was because he was still useful to her.
If he continued to stay with Long Xue, she might turn against him sooner or later.
Xiao Jinting flew towards a mine. Looking at the piles of demonic stones, Xiao Jinting was excited. Ye Mi was an idiot, saying there was nothing good on the eighth floor. Wasn’t such a huge demonic stone mine a treasure? He was ignorant!
The effect of demon stones on the Demon was equivalent to that of spiritual stones on cultivators.
In the Heavenly Demon Practicing Manual that Xiao Jinting cultivated, there was a way to absorb demonic Qi.
Xiao Jinting put all the demonic stones into his space and hid himself in the cultivation room of the jade space.
He smiled, thinking that although spiritual power could not be used on the eighth floor, demonic power worked. If he had sufficient demonic power, he could activate Imperial Wind Art to look for the entrance to the ninth floor.
