Ji Yuan successfully infiltrated Beiwang Mountain, bypassing its protective array with his enhanced divine eyes. He discovered that the mountain's spiritual energy was significantly richer, attracting cultivators seeking breakthroughs. After confirming the absence of Nascent Soul cultivators, Ji Yuan located a Top-grade Spirit Stone at the heart of the mountain's spirit vein and array, preparing to seize it.

If you want to quietly take out this Top-grade Spirit Stone, it would probably require a Tier Five Array Master to do so.

Even a Tier Four Array Master wouldn’t be able to.

Because the small array in front of us is a projection of the Tier Four Array outside.

No matter from which angle you try to take it, it will trigger.

Facing this situation, Ji Yuan naturally released his PWoang Divine Eyes once again.

The array may be small, but it also has flaws.

After understanding this, Ji Yuan raised his right hand again, hovering it over the Top-grade Spirit Stone.

Water-blue mana fell like threads, landing steadily on a few flaws in the array.

Then it started to seep in slowly.

But just at that moment.

Just as Ji Yuan thought he could safely take away this Top-grade Spirit Stone, he merely blinked, and found a misty figure appearing out of nowhere to his right front!

Once it appeared, it reached out its left hand, which was like an eagle claw, towards Ji Yuan’s wrist.

"Ah—"

At this moment, even Ji Yuan, this Nascent Soul Cultivator, was startled.

He naturally hurriedly retracted his right hand.

At the same time, he stepped back, retreating about ten feet, avoiding the mysterious move, while raising his hand and condensing dozens of black arrows which he pushed forward.

The surrounding mist surged out, immediately swallowing these black arrows.

"Nascent Soul Cultivator!"

Ji Yuan, although testing with a move, wasn’t something a Core Formation Cultivator could resist so easily.

Given the circumstances, there was only one possibility.

The person in front of him was also a Nascent Soul Cultivator!

The Soul Hall Master Ji Yuan had seen wasn’t this person, so his identity became obvious.

Another Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Soul Refining Hall, Duo Ghost Demon Lord!

But the person’s cultivation in front of him didn’t seem to have reached the Nascent Soul Stage... Just as Ji Yuan was puzzled, he noticed the breath of this Duo Ghost Demon Lord rising rapidly.

As if something was continuously merging into his body.

With a sweep of Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense, he immediately understood the situation.

Core Formation!

The Core Formation Cultivators he saw earlier were now turning into pure ghost energy, drilling into his body through the cracks between the dodge stones.

For this reason, his cultivation aura could rise rapidly.

’What kind of cultivation technique is this, a replica technique?’ Ji Yuan was puzzled, and the Duo Ghost Demon Lord slowly opened his mouth:

"Fellow Daoist, your actions are somewhat ignoring our Soul Refining Hall, aren’t they?"

Hearing the long-lost dialect unique to Jiyuan Continent, Ji Yuan even felt a bit affectionate.

Because earlier in the Xingluo Archipelago, they always spoke in the Common Language.

Fairy Baihua also communicated with him in this way.

So after hesitating a bit, Ji Yuan still chose to answer in the Common Language: "Speak human language."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Duo Ghost Demon Lord immediately figured out something.

"Fellow Daoist, did you come from another continent?"

This time, when Duo Ghost Demon Lord spoke again, he also switched to the Common Language.

Coming from another continent... a few years back, this was still impossible.

But now, as the paths to Cangluo Continent and Desolate Ancient Continent gradually opened, visitors from different continents began to increase.

Some people from Jiyuan Continent also slowly began to speak the Common Language.

But most of these visitors from different continents were Foundation Establishment and Core Formation Stage cultivators, it was the first time Duo Ghost Demon Lord encountered a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

’The Nascent Soul Cultivators on Jiyuan Continent, even if I haven’t met them, I’ve heard of most of them. The person in front of me looks like a Demon Cultivator... and doesn’t take our Soul Refining Hall seriously, almost certainly from another continent, but whether it’s Desolate Ancient or Cangluo, I’m not sure.’

Duo Ghost Demon Lord figured it all out in his mind.

"What if I am, what if I’m not?"

Ji Yuan said impatiently.

Duo Ghost Demon Lord grinned and said, "Fellow Daoist, if you really came from another continent, why not join our Soul Refining Hall... becoming a Supreme Elder like us, wouldn’t that be enjoyable?"

The Demon Dao does things without much fuss and straightforwardly.

Ji Yuan was the same, so he didn’t hesitate at all.

"Give me this Top-grade Spirit Stone, and I’ll join your Soul Refining Hall."

"The Spirit Stone can be discussed, as long as Fellow Daoist is willing to join."

"Then step aside, I’ll take it myself."

Ji Yuan said and stepped forward.

Duo Ghost Demon Lord’s figure flashed and blocked the Top-grade Spirit Stone, his tone showing a bit of displeasure.

"As Nascent Soul Cultivators, don’t be ungrateful, Fellow Daoist!"

Ji Yuan seemed amused by this.

"What if I’m ungrateful!"

"A small Jiyuan Continent, does it really think it can stop me, the Master of Ten Thousand Souls Banner?"

Ji Yuan sneered, invoking the freshly promoted Ten Thousand Souls Banner into his hand, and instantly, Yin Souls surrounded him, and ghostly cries, adding a few more layers of Demonic Qi around him.

"What?!"

Duo Ghost Demon Lord was instinctively shocked upon seeing Ji Yuan take out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

The reputation of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, who in the Demon Dao doesn’t know it?

But knowing it is one thing; having seen it is another.

Even this Duo Ghost Demon Lord hadn’t seen many Thousand Souls Banners, for their crafting method is so evil and difficult that many in the Demon Dao fear it.

Let alone advancing the Thousand Souls Banner into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Just the Nascent Soul Main Soul condition alone confines countless Demon Dao practitioners.
