Chapter 999 - 333: Factions

The depths of the spiritual sea.

The golden Celestial Eye emitted a golden light, penetrating through the woman’s brow, seeing through her completely opened spiritual sea.

With her spiritual sea fully exposed for Lin Zheyu to study, the woman felt an unusual sensation, as if she were standing naked, being thoroughly examined inside and out.

She forced herself to endure the discomfort in her heart, allowing this mysterious elder to study her.

"Elder, is it possible?"

Seeing Lin Zheyu slightly frown, observing for a long while without speaking, the sinister woman couldn’t help but ask.

Her heart was extremely uneasy.

Lin Zheyu had been observing for a long time.

The woman did not sense Xiao Zhe elder’s spiritual sense entering her spiritual sea, only seeing the elder frowning slightly at her.

Kept looking, for a long time.

This made the woman very uneasy.

The demonic influence deeply eroded her soul; if it’s impossible, that would be tantamount to a death sentence.

"It’s a bit troublesome, I’ll give it a try first."

Lin Zheyu said casually.

The concentration and purity of the demonic influence within the woman’s spiritual sea had reached an incredibly astounding degree.

The spiritual energy originally permeating the entire spiritual sea had been entirely replaced by demonic influence.

Under the erosion of the demonic influence, the woman’s soul body also showed signs of demonization.

The entire soul body became pitch black, exuding a faint aura of filth, evil, and decay.

’The whole spiritual sea is demonized, if completely demonized, would the spiritual sea vanish entirely?

The soul merging into the demonic body as if it were a demon?’

Lin Zheyu silently pondered.

He had been silent for so long because he was using the golden Celestial Eye to observe the differences among the spiritual seas of demon cultivators, demons, and humans.

Lin Zheyu had dissected numerous demons, so he was quite familiar with them.

Demons do not have a spiritual sea.

Their consciousness, in the form of demonic influence, merges into their demon blood and energy.

This is also why demons have a kind of pseudo-immortality.

Even if blown into a pulp, as long as there’s enough demonic energy, they can still recover.

As for demon cultivators.

The golden Celestial Eye, through the woman’s soul body exuding an evil aura, saw some intriguing things.

In the perspective of the golden Celestial Eye.

The woman’s soul body was slowly transforming from a uniform, orderly solid state into a disordered, chaotic form under the erosion of the demonic influence.

However, this process was halted by the woman’s use of a special soul secret skill.

"Have you cultivated a special soul secret skill?" Lin Zheyu asked.

"Yes, elder."

The woman nodded.

It was precisely with this secret skill that she had persisted until now.

"This secret skill is quite good, but it can only alleviate it."

"Originally, I wanted to see if I could separate the demonic influence eroded into your soul body, but it seems impossible now."

"Your soul, being deeply eroded by the demonic influence, has already made it a part of your soul."

"Forcing it apart would only result in your soul dispersing to oblivion."

Lin Zheyu said softly.

Under the gaze of the golden Celestial Eye, he quickly discovered the woman’s soul’s problem.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t solve it.

The demonic influence was too strange; it could directly erode and devour a cultivator’s soul, replacing the part it had consumed.

Over time.

With the passage of time, even if a cultivator no longer practices demon skills, their soul would still be completely devoured by the demonic influence, becoming one of the demons.

"Elder... elder, is there really... really no way?"

The sinister woman asked unwillingly, trembling slightly.

She didn’t want to die!

"I can try to help you alleviate and slow down the speed of your soul being devoured by the demonic influence."

"But this method only treats the symptoms, not the root; if you want to completely stop this process..."

Lin Zheyu paused slightly.

The sinister woman’s trembling eyes showed a flicker of hope.

"Well, maybe after I join the Celestial Derivation Sect, and gain deep enough attainment in Array Dao, a solution could be found."

Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment, speaking blandly.

His attainment in Array Dao was too shallow, not enough to allow him to utilize Martial Arts Divine Pattern to create a powerful array.

However, if he could join the Celestial Derivation Sect and enhance his proficiency in Array Dao.

Lin Zheyu might have a chance to create a special array using Martial Arts Divine Pattern as a base to isolate and block demonic influence.

His Martial Arts Divine Pattern is different from the runes of Immortal Tao Array Restriction.

The Martial Arts Divine Pattern is infused with characteristics of the Demon Demonic Pattern and can use demonic energy as an energy source.

In this way, as the demon cultivator’s strength grows, the array based on Martial Arts Divine Pattern placed in the spiritual sea can have more energy sources and exert stronger power.

Of course.

This was just Lin Zheyu’s vision for the future; achieving such a level could be considered as difficult as ascending to heaven.

There is still a distant path of ten thousand and eighty thousand miles to go, countless challenges and hurdles to overcome.

"Please, elder, save me!"

"If the elder is willing to act, I shall be your slave and servant from now on, ready to obey your commands!"

A surge of hope rose in the sinister woman’s heart.

As a fellow demon cultivator, this elder made her feel too normal, normal to the point where it was unlike a demon cultivator who practiced demon skills.

If she hadn’t fought with Lin Zheyu and sensed the pure demonic energy from him.

The woman would have doubted Lin Zheyu’s identity as a demon cultivator.

Although Lin Zheyu was indeed not.

But, as long as the woman believed it.

It was quite remarkable for such a terrifyingly powerful demon cultivator to act like an ordinary person.

The elder must possess some secret technique or magical treasure to suppress the demonic influence!
