Chapter 38 The Crying Soul Beast
Wen Tianren remembered that Yuan Yao also had a special constitution called the Heavenly Yin Body.
However, only the Changyuan Clan of the Spirit Realm knew about this physique. It was because of this physique that Qing Yuanzi took Yuan Yao as his disciple to help him deal with the Great Heavenly Tribulation.
This Moon-Gazing Technique is a top-tier Yin-attribute cultivation method that he collected, and it should be suitable for Yuan Yao's physique.
Seeing how much Wen Tianren valued her, Yuan Yao felt relieved and said, "Thank you, Senior!"
Upon hearing Yuan Yao's address, Wen Tianren's expression softened, and his tone became gentler: "From now on, you will be my concubine, so you don't need to keep calling me 'senior.' Just call me 'Young Master.'"
He then took out a bulging storage bag and stuffed it into her hand: "This is your cultivation resource. It's enough for you to cultivate to the Core Formation stage. There are also a few good magic treasures. Yao'er, go to the cultivation room next door to study the cultivation technique I gave you, or spend more time with Ning'er and Qing'er."
I will be in seclusion for a few days. As for your senior sister's matter, don't worry about it; I have my own arrangements.
"Yes, young master." Yuan Yao bowed her head in response, her ears slightly red. Holding the jade slip and storage bag, she quietly retreated.
After Yuan Yao left the cultivation room, Wen Tianren sat cross-legged.
With a light wave of his right hand, a storage bag and a spirit beast bag appeared in front of him.
These storage bags and spirit beast bags naturally belonged to the young master of the Qingyang Sect.
His divine sense surged into the storage bag, filling it with countless crystal-clear spirit stones.
A quick glance revealed that the storage bag contained nearly a thousand mid-grade spirit stones and over ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.
With a flick of his sleeve, he directly fed all the spirit stones into the system, followed by a series of talismans and magic treasures, totaling six or seven items.
However, now that Wen Tianren has inherited the legacy of Tianjing Sanren, he no longer cares about these things.
Wen Tianren murmured, "These things are hard to sell, so I can only use them to recharge the system. Spirit stones are more practical."
Among these numerous treasures was a slightly yellowed old brocade handkerchief, next to which was a scroll painting.
Wen Tianren took out a brocade handkerchief and a scroll. He was very familiar with this old brocade handkerchief, just like the Void Heaven Fragment Map that he had obtained from Sect Master Sun of the Hidden Fiend Sect.
Unfold the scroll again, and you'll find that the contents are extremely rudimentary, outlining a rough sketch of a five-story building.
"This fragment of the Void Heaven Map should be the one that allowed Yuan Yao to enter the Void Heaven Palace. This scroll? Could it be a map of the Void Heaven Palace?"
Putting everything else aside, the small cauldron with two handles and three legs sketched with just a few strokes on one of the high platforms is definitely the mark of the Void Heaven Cauldron.
Those crisscrossing patterns must be some kind of passageways or secret rooms.
However, while all the other patterns in this picture are outlined in black ink, only a route running through several passages is drawn in bright red cinnabar. The end of this route appears to be a high wall, and behind this wall is a pattern resembling a teleportation array.
"It seems this is part of the map of the Void Heaven Palace, and this specially marked route must be the location of the Soul-Nourishing Wood and the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk. With this map, we can save time searching."
He carefully put away the scroll and continued his search. Before long, two jet-black jade slips appeared before his eyes.
Two jet-black jade slips appeared in front of Wen Tianren.
One of the jade slips contains a technique called the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique.
This is a cultivation technique that combines human and ghost cultivation. It is the technique that Yuan Yao and Yan Li, who had become a ghost cultivator, practiced together in the original work in order to save her senior sister.
Within this Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique, Wen Tianren discovered a record of a heaven-defying secret art—the Resurrection Technique.
This secret technique not only causes great harm to the user, but also has extremely demanding conditions for its execution, requiring the user to remain undisturbed during the process.
Otherwise, all previous efforts would be in vain, the soul of the person being resurrected would be completely destroyed, and the caster would also suffer a backlash.
Yuan Yao was worried about being disturbed by other cultivators, so she invited the reliable Han Li to protect her with such a precious treasure as the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk.
However, during the resurrection spell, due to the previous incarnation, Yuan Yao, Han Li, Zi Ling, and others were all swallowed by the ghost mist and entered the Netherworld.
However, for the Yuan Yao and Yan Li sisters, it was a blessing in disguise.
If they hadn't entered the Netherworld and accidentally entered the Spirit Realm Abyss after cultivating the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique, with their aptitudes, they would never have been able to reach the Spirit Realm in their lifetime without a great fortuitous encounter, let alone have Yuan Yao become Qing Yuanzi's disciple.
Wen Tianren slowly put down the jade slip and placed it aside, then reached out and took out the second jade slip.
Divine senses surged into it, and what was recorded within was the Spirit Binding Array, a unique formation of the Qingyang Sect.
The great formation can gather and lock in all the spiritual energy within a radius of several miles, without letting a single drop leak out, and gather it all in the formation's core for cultivators to absorb day and night.
If a cultivator practices in this formation for a long time, over time, it will be as if they have divine assistance.
As for the rest, they were all things that Wen Tianren didn't think much of.
Then, Wen Tianren turned his gaze to the exquisite spirit beast bag.
With a slight thought, his divine sense slowly seeped into the bag. The next instant, a gray-black bead was drawn out and hovered above his palm.
A glint of light flashed in Wen Tianren's eyes: "This should be the Soul-Sounding Pearl, which is also used to control the Soul-Crying Beast."
Of all the spoils, the only one that truly captivated him was the Soul-Crying Beast.
The process of forging this beast is extremely bloody and difficult to succeed, and it is also against the natural order, just like forging those evil and demonic artifacts.
However, this Soul-Crying Beast is born with the ability to absorb souls and devour ghosts, and it can subdue all yin spirits and ghosts. No matter how powerful a demon or vengeful spirit is, once it encounters this beast, it will absorb it into its belly with just a gentle sniff from its nose.
It would be refined into nothingness in no time; it was truly extraordinary.
Moreover, this Tihun's true form originates from the Xing Beast bloodline of the True Immortal Realm, with an extremely high potential. In this mortal realm, there are probably few who have better aptitude than him.
He swallowed the Soul-Sounding Pearl without hesitation, and under Wen Tianren's Nascent Soul stage divine sense, there was no risk of backlash.
Then, he opened the spirit beast pouch.
"Whoosh—"
A streak of emerald light shot out, tumbled in the air, and landed steadily.
A small, emerald-green monkey appeared before us, no more than a foot tall, its fur as lustrous and radiant as jade.
What's most striking is its prominent nose, which takes up almost half of its face. It's enormous and exudes a strange, eerie feeling.
At this moment, the Soul-Crying Beast was obviously newly born, its eyes were bewildered, and it shook its head, timidly looking around.
Tihun looked up at Wen Tianren with lively eyes, blinked, and suddenly bared its teeth at Wen Tianren before leaping over.
Wen Tianren chuckled, and with a thought, he secretly activated the Soul-Sounding Pearl within his body.
"Ugh—!"
The soul that had been wailing in mid-air immediately fell to the ground, writhing in agony for less than a quarter of an hour.
The little beast collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. When it looked up again, the wildness in its eyes had vanished, replaced by a gentler look.
"Now you're behaving yourself, aren't you? You should cultivate in the spirit beast pouch for a while longer! We'll need you sometime in the future."
Wen Tianren put the Crying Soul Beast along with some Yin Soul Fruits into the Spirit Beast Bag. Although these Yin Soul Fruits were not as nourishing as real Yin Souls or vengeful ghosts, they still helped the Crying Soul Beast's cultivation increase.
Taming the Soul-Crying Beast is not something that can be rushed, as the Soul-Crying Beast has only recently been created.
Aside from being effective against certain demons and evil spirits, its own combat power was of little help to Wen Tianren.
The only way to nurture the Crying Soul is to collect more demonic souls and vengeful ghosts for him to devour in the future.
After sorting through the treasures he had obtained from the Heavenly Mirror Hermit's cave, Wen Tianren immediately resumed his cultivation.
However, this time, he did not continue to cultivate the Six Extremes True Demon Art, but instead chose to cultivate the "Ming King Technique," a body-refining method.
He had long wanted to cultivate the Little Big Dipper Yuan Gong, but his physical body had not been able to improve. This time, he wanted to cultivate the Mingwang Jue to a certain level before using it to cultivate the Little Big Dipper Yuan Gong.
