Chapter 1017: Soul Fusion

The silver box was covered by the green light emitted from the wooden ruler above it, the spiritual light flashed, and instantly the silver radiance disappeared, returning to an unusually calm state.

It appeared extremely strange!

If someone were to sweep near the table offering the silver box, they would be even more startled. At a place more than ten zhang away from the offering table, a human figure stood motionless.

This person wore a blue robe and red headscarf, with cyan patterns flashing on the face, and was none other than the Grand Elder of the Poison Saint Sect, Hua Tianqi.

However, at this moment Hua Tianqi had his eyes slightly closed, his expression wooden, blood continuously flowing from his seven orifices, and if it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, anyone would have thought him a corpse.

Meanwhile, the other three elders of the Poison Saint Sect had vanished without a trace, not having entered this hall together with him.

However, from outside the hall door, faint rumbling and explosive sounds could be heard, as if someone were trapped in some restriction.

In the other side, within the nameless space of the restriction giant wolf, the black wolf head's eyes lost their purple light, and simultaneously a woman's voice came from its mouth:

"Blood Flame, so it's you. I originally thought you had already returned to the Holy Realm. I didn't expect you to also remain in the mortal realm until now." This voice was pleasant and melodious, actually resembling the voice of the woman who had trapped Xiang Zhili by seven or eight tenths, only lacking a few traces of charm and gaining a touch of icy coldness.

"Paying respects to the Holy Ancestor, my lord. When I set out back then, I was already a step late, and nearly fell to death from being hunted by humans. If it weren't for those human cultivators thinking I had mastered the location of the passage from the Holy Realm to the mortal realm, wanting to slowly cast spells to perform soul-extraction torture on me, I would not have survived until now." The ancient demon replied respectfully.

"Oh, your luck is not bad. The spatial rift into the Lingjing Garden back then had already shattered after we entered the mortal realm. What passage could there still be?" The black wolf head mentioned the ancient demon-wolf war of those years, yet showed no excitement, merely nodding slightly.

"Is this the ancient demon from antiquity that nearly exterminated the ancient cultivators?" The big-headed stranger observed coldly from the side, watching the ancient demon and the giant wolf converse, seeing the black wolf head speak with a female voice, speaking slowly and calmly, showing no trace of demonic nature, and secretly felt surprised in his heart.

"Since you have come to this place, you should have planned everything well. However, let me first remind you: rescuing me is not as easy as you think. Besides anything else, just the Great Zhou Tian Star Chains binding me cannot be broken by your current cultivation. This item is a treasure transmitted from the Spirit Realm, specifically designed to counter our holy race."

"Holy Ancestor, rest assured! Since I have come, I have naturally made thorough preparations. This time, not only does Fellow Daoist Ye assist me, but I have also gathered several demonic artifacts, sufficient to break these chains." The ancient demon appeared confident.

"You actually have demonic artifacts to assist, which indeed gives a few possibilities to remove this Great Zhou Tian Star Chain. However, even so, I still cannot let you cast spells immediately!" The black wolf head shook its head.

"Why is that?"

Upon this, the four-armed ancient demon with two heads was greatly surprised, purple-red light flashing in his eyes without cease. The Ye family stranger also jumped in alarm!

"It's simple: this star chain is not the strongest restriction binding you. Look at where you are standing now." The black wolf head sighed lightly.

"Where we are standing?" The ancient demon and the big-headed stranger couldn't help but both look down at their feet. Besides the black transmission magic array they had entered through, there was nothing else.

These two were both utterly confused.

"Do you really think this place is an independent space where one can freely enter and exit? This is merely a certain heavenly spiritual treasure using its power to isolate a region of the eighth layer by casting a spell. As long as you make the slightest movement, this treasure will immediately activate and send you out of this place. Re-entering this place will not be so easy. Moreover, these external forces are not the main reason I have been trapped here for many years. The greatest trouble still lies in this silver moon demon wolf body." The black wolf head slightly moved its skull, looking at the silver wolf head on the other side of its body that remained motionless and asleep, and finally a trace of solemnity appeared in its eyes.

The ancient demon and the big-headed stranger are not ordinary people; upon hearing this, they looked again at the black wolf head and the silver wolf head that were utterly different, and both had a sudden realization, vaguely guessing something.

"Back then, wasn't the primordial spirit of this silver moon wolf demon devoured by the Holy Ancestor? How could there be another mishap!" The ancient demon asked doubtfully.

"Hmph! Back then, you thought I was captured so easily. It wasn't anything else—when I possessed this wolf demon, it actually played a trick. It actually possessed two primordial spirits, one I heavily injured, at the time it escaped the body and fled, letting me think I was henceforth safe and sound. The other, however, hid itself somewhere in the body using a secret technique, and when I was fighting the Three Elders of Mount Kunwu at a critical moment, it suddenly counterattacked, leading to my being sealed for so many years." The black wolf head spoke with a trace of anger.

"Two primordial spirits—could it be the rare case of one body with two souls!" The big-headed stranger exclaimed upon hearing this.

"You humans know quite a bit. This silver wolf indeed possesses two completely independent souls, originally just a single wolf head, but after the second wolf soul appeared, it immediately showed a second wolf head to contend with me for control of this body. Moreover, the cultivation method of this wolf demon is indeed strange; I foolishly possessed this body for such a long time, yet never detected the anomaly." The black wolf head murmured, seemingly still unable to understand even now.

"Then does this wolf demon's second soul still exist?"

"Of course it exists. After being captured by those human cultivators, I learned that this silver moon wolf demon is actually the beloved consort of the Tiankui Divine Wolf, one of the Seven Great Demon Kings of the Spirit Realm, and also one of the few spiritual demons that descended in true form to the mortal realm back then. I was able to easily possess this wolf demon because I took advantage of the time when this demon had just descended to the mortal realm and was suffering from great vitality loss. Otherwise, with the cultivation of this silver wolf in its prime, I, being only a wisp of divided soul, might not have succeeded. However, the fact that this silver wolf possesses two souls truly surprised me, making me suffer a great loss. But at that time, I had occupied this body for some years already, and most of the flesh had already been successfully demonized. Even if I were captured and dealt with by them, those human cultivators could not force me out of this body, nor dare to rashly destroy me and this flesh together. They could only temporarily seal me in the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda." The black wolf head spoke slowly and patiently.

The ancient demon was fine, but the big-headed stranger, upon hearing these ancient secrets, was stunned.

"So, does that mean this second wolf soul is still in this body now." The ancient demon gave a bitter laugh, his four giant eyes simultaneously fixed on the silver-white wolf head.

"Not now, but after a while, she should return. Speaking of which, you guys are actually lucky, having awakened me at this time." The black wolf head gave a soft, charming laugh.

"Holy Ancestor, what does this mean?" The ancient demon's heart jolted.

"It's simple: when the ancient cultivators used the Earth Spirit Land formed from the Black Wind Banner to seal me here, they deliberately extracted the primordial spirit of that second wolf soul, built a palace rich in spiritual energy beside it, and placed it there. Thus, this demon king's beloved consort's second soul, upon beginning, would almost every so often return to this flesh to contend with me for control of the body, and once weakened, would immediately return to its place to recover its damaged spiritual energy. As for me, due to being sealed, I could only rely on the demonic energy within my body to oppose her actions; over time, I gradually fell into a disadvantage. To avoid being truly forced out of this body, I had no choice but to use the Soul Fusion Technique against her." The black wolf head said calmly.

"What, Soul Fusion Technique! You have already..." The ancient demon's four eyes simultaneously 'revealed' a look of shock, for a moment even forgetting polite speech.

"Correct, I have already fused with her into a new soul. Moreover, it is with her divine sense as the main and me as the auxiliary. However, at first, the new soul was not only unstable, but when those ancient cultivators first saw the new soul, they also recognized that I was fused within it, refused to acknowledge her identity, and did not lift the seal to let her go. But due to her special status, the ancient cultivators dared not harm her lightly, and simply abandoned Mount Kunwu as well, completely sealing this mountain. Thus, our two souls have remained in a strange state of sometimes contending, sometimes fusing. Until over ten thousand years later, after re-fusing, did it finally stabilize completely, having fused very perfectly. However, a few days ago, the new soul, in order to drag a secretly intruding Spirit Transformation stage cultivator into the Phantom Celestial Phenomenon, suffered great damage to its divine sense, allowing me and the wolf demon's soul to split again. But this time, it is likely the last split. Once that second wolf soul falls asleep and awakens in that place of abundant spiritual energy, it will re-fuse into one."

The ancient demon and the big-headed stranger were then completely dumbfounded!

"Holy Ancestor, after fusion, is the new soul a demon, or a member of our holy race!" The ancient demon was stunned for a long time, then still gave a bitter laugh and asked.

"What do you say?" The black wolf head replied indifferently.

The ancient demon, upon hearing this, could only be speechless.

"Since you have explained this so thoroughly, there should be a way to prevent this. If there is anything, just say it directly." The big-headed stranger pondered slightly, then suddenly said this.

"Oh, speaking of which, I still haven't asked you, as a human you actually assist Blood Flame—you must have some motive. I observe that your remaining vitality is not much; you seem to be nearing your limit. Are you trying to get this Holy Ancestor to pour demonic energy into you?" The black wolf head's eyes flashed with purple light, not answering but speaking with deep meaning.

"Since you have already seen through it, I have nothing to hide. Ye Mou would rather fall eternally into the demonic path than just sit and await death. If that were the case, then my near-thousand years of arduous and fearful cultivation, and countless times of risking life and limb, would have been for what? Would it just be to let myself return to dust and earth again?" Having come to this point, the big-headed stranger had no intention of concealing anything anymore, and his complexion faintly turned ferocious.
