The method of refining corpses, even with the aid of Yin Sha land, requires constantly feeding the corpse with blood and other special materials to re-spiritualize the dead body and form a zombie body.
This step takes too long, and it requires constant mental effort to practice alongside it.
To spend a hundred years refining a demon corpse, even if it's the body of an eighth-order desolate beast, Zhang Ling still feels it's not worth it, and there's a possibility of failure, after all, he's not proficient in corpse refining.
Of course, a complete eighth-order desolate beast corpse, if sold to a cultivator proficient in this method, would definitely fetch a sky-high price.
Zhang Ling was lost in thought, silent for a moment, then he put away these distracting thoughts.
During this time, through studying the Profound Female Transformation Spirit Art and some ancient books, he guessed that the biggest reason for the Second Primordial Spirit's rejection by the Mysterious Turtle's body was still because his Second Primordial Spirit was too weak.
After all, it was just a primordial spirit refined with an ordinary seventh-order demon soul. If he had the strength of a Nascent Soul, he could naturally use other methods to assist, and the success rate would greatly increase.
However, now, Zhang Ling has also thought of a special method: using the Soul Refining Technique to fuse a part of the Mysterious Turtle's demon soul, so that his Second Primordial Spirit has a part of the Mysterious Turtle's aura, which may allow him to successfully seize the body.
As for whether it will succeed, he doesn't have much confidence.
After all, the desolate beast's demon soul is most severely eroded by turbid Qi. The desolate beast's body and demon core can be used to expel turbid Qi by other methods, but the soul cannot. Maybe there are other reasons.
But if it succeeds, he will have an incarnation whose physical body is comparable to that of a transformed demon beast.
Zhang Ling recalled the Soul Refining Method in the Underworld King Art in his mind, and he didn't delay any longer, and with a flick of his hand, he took out the Yin Soul Banner.
The souls in this banner have been reduced by more than half compared to when he first obtained it. Before, he used the remnant souls inside to integrate into the puppets to refine puppets. Later, when collecting the Mysterious Turtle's demon soul, a part of the Yin souls were swallowed by the demon soul.
This treasure was originally considered a top-notch magic weapon, but now its power has been reduced by more than half. However, this soul banner was obtained by killing Old Man Shen, so even if it is damaged, Zhang Ling doesn't feel bad.
Now, taking out the Yin Soul Banner is naturally for better performing the Soul Refining Method and splitting the Mysterious Turtle's demon soul.
Zhang Ling activated the magic formula in his hand, and several profound magic formulas were cast on it, and at the same time, he opened his mouth and spewed out a cloud of yellow essence.
This treasure spun around in mid-air, turning into a huge banner more than ten feet high. A wailing Yin wind blew out from it, and in an instant, it transformed into a large gray-black ghost mist, in which appeared remnant souls, either human-shaped or beast-shaped.
As the magic formula was activated, these remnant souls devoured and overlapped each other. Before long, they transformed into more than a dozen black chains. This is the secret technique of the Underworld King Art, the Soul Refining Lock.
Before, he used the Soul Refining Lock to pull the Mysterious Turtle's demon soul into the Yin Soul Banner for temporary sealing. Now, he wants to use this method, plus the Soul Refining Method, to split a part of the Mysterious Turtle's demon soul.
The Soul Refining Technique is actually the Soul Extraction and Soul Refining that cultivators fear. It is an evil magic that forcibly sacrifices the spirits of others. It is said that souls that have been extracted and refined lose the qualification to re-enter reincarnation.
Most cultivators don't believe in the theory of reincarnation, and no one has ever heard of any cultivator being able to reincarnate, but a large number of people still believe in this theory.
When the Great Limit comes, most cultivators will voluntarily dissipate their primordial spirits, hoping to embark on the path of immortality in the next life.
The Soul Refining Method he is now performing also comes from the Underworld King Art in his hand.
This cultivation method is a ghost path cultivation method that he obtained from a relic of the ancient sect Ghost King Sect when he was in the Foundation Establishment stage. This cultivation method is extremely complete, and in his current view, it is also a top-notch ghost path cultivation method.
There are many powerful ghost path secret techniques in it, such as the Fiend Soul Silk that was previously cultivated with the baleful Qi on the corpse bear, which also comes from this cultivation method.
It also records many sinister and poisonous ghost path spells.
Magic weapons like the Yin Soul Banner basically rely on the Soul Refining Method to extract the souls of others and sacrifice them in the banner to cultivate the most powerful Yin souls to enhance their power.
Soul banners are the favorite magic weapon of ghost path cultivators. Some ghost path cultivators with powerful cultivation bases will slaughter hundreds of thousands of people without frowning in order to sacrifice such magic weapons.
As he continued to cast spells, the Soul Refining Lock condensed from the Yin Soul Banner became more and more solid. After half a cup of tea, twenty or thirty Soul Refining Locks were all around, wrapping the Soul Restriction Plate that sealed the Mysterious Turtle's demon soul.
The Soul Refining Lock has a strong restraint effect on souls and spirits. In order to prevent the Mysterious Turtle's demon soul from rushing out of the Soul Restriction Plate, these measures must be arranged.
After arranging the Soul Refining Lock, Zhang Ling pointed at the Mysterious Turtle's demon soul, and two small Soul Refining Locks suddenly wrapped around the Soul Restriction Plate.
Howls rushed into his ears, and the Mysterious Turtle's demon soul inside also sensed the danger and struggled desperately.
Zhang Ling remained unmoved, the magic formula changed continuously, and mysterious magic formulas were cast on the Soul Restriction Plate, and he began to use the Soul Refining Method to draw out part of the Mysterious Turtle's demon soul.
As the spell was cast, the Soul Restriction Plate trembled rapidly, and a beast roar was emitted. A hideous phantom of a Mysterious Turtle emerged. The dense runes on it instantly lit up completely. More than a dozen gray-white threads wrapped around the Mysterious Turtle phantom, preventing it from breaking free.
At the same time, the Mysterious Turtle in the pool also had a trace of reaction, raised its head, looked in the direction where Zhang Ling was, shook its somewhat dull head, and the aura on its body also increased a little, and the power of ice and cold emerged, sweeping across the entire space.
However, this was just the Mysterious Turtle's instinctive reaction, and the Soul Sealing Formation was enough to suppress it.
The Mysterious Turtle's cry sounded illusory, but Zhang Ling didn't dare to be careless. This was the sound emitted by the demon soul, which was as substantial as it was, and was actually very similar to the Soul Shattering Sound of his divine soul attack.
In the sound of the Mysterious Turtle's roar, he immediately felt a powerful soul power filling the surroundings. He snorted coldly, took a deep breath, and a deep and powerful word 'Break!' came out of his mouth.
Break!
A Soul Shattering Sound hit the Soul Restriction Plate, the Mysterious Turtle phantom flashed, and once again immersed in the Soul Restriction Plate, and the shaking amplitude of the Soul Restriction Plate also became much smaller.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he pinched the magic formula in his hand, and directed more than a dozen small Soul Refining Locks to rush into it, all wrapped around the Mysterious Turtle's demon soul.
Then the Soul Refining Locks changed and transformed into countless ghost claws, constantly tearing at the Mysterious Turtle's demon soul. Although the Mysterious Turtle was much weaker, it also began to fight back.
The runes on the Soul Restriction Plate all flashed, and the Mysterious Turtle's demon soul's actions were greatly restricted.
The Soul Refining Lock tore off countless gray-black light spots from the demon soul. These light spots were extremely spiritual and began to constantly gather together, transforming into very small turtle phantoms.
