Chapter 161: Awakening of the Earth Soul

  A heart-pounding tremble emanated from the bottom of his heart, and he had never dared to be so reckless in a foreign land, getting drunk. Because, deep down, Guo Fei didn't trust anyone.

  Guo Fei suddenly opened his eyes, saw the misty surroundings, and five corpse demons guarding him with loyalty. His heart finally calmed down. Looking around, Guo Fei found himself soaking in a warm hot spring, wearing only a pair of underwear. The warmth and comfort from the water transmitted to his body, making him feel carefree and exhilarated. It seemed that his spiritual energy had increased significantly.

  "Huh!" Guo Fei was taken aback, and in an instant, he discovered that there was another person inside his body. This strange feeling made Guo Fei feel a sense of astonishment. Two souls with consciousness appeared simultaneously within his body, and Guo Fei quickly distinguished between the primary and secondary ones. His own body still took the life soul as the main one, while the emergence of another consciousness was discovered by Guo Fei to be the earth soul that had been staying in the Corpse Hall. At this time, its gray mist-like body condensed and opened a pair of eyes, with gray eyeballs flashing a sharp light.

  Guo Fei was surprised, and at the same time, a faint inexplicable feeling arose in his heart. Regarding the dual-soul physique, Guo Fei had asked Miao Yu about it before. She was indeed a cultivator from the Tang Empire's great power, and she knew all about it. Even the reason why the Ling tribe was hunting him down, she explained very clearly.

  The Ling tribe wants to capture Guo Fei alive because of the terrestrial soul in his body. The reason why the Ling tribe can cultivate the power of Qiankun and Lei Di is that there is a heavenly soul in their body, which corresponds to the source of the five elements. The heavenly soul corresponds to the Taiqing gas, while the terrestrial soul corresponds to the Taiyin gas.

  However, both the heavenly soul and the earthly soul are difficult to awaken. If they do not awaken, there is no way to cultivate the source boundary. But among the heaven and earth, all things are born and overcome each other. After the heavenly soul swallows the earthly soul, it often has a high probability of awakening. The spiritual tribe happens to have this swallowing secret method, so in the spiritual tribe, people with the heavenly soul physique want to let the heavenly soul body awaken as soon as possible and enter the cultivation boundary early. If by the age of 18, the heavenly soul still hasn't awakened, they need to find an earthly soul for it to swallow. Such an earthly soul is not ordinary, but must be like Guo Fei's, with a life soul in the same body. Before the heavenly soul swallows the earthly soul, use secret methods to make the earthly soul swallow the life soul, possessing the power of seven souls, and then swallow this earthly soul, which can help awaken the dormant heavenly soul.

  However, the earth soul in Guo Fei's body has now awakened. Guo Fei understood that apart from the Five Elements source corresponding to his life soul, there must be another "magic source" hidden in his body's secret realm, which can produce Taiyin power. To open this secret realm, he must use the magic path cultivation method.

  It was like a foreign object hidden in his body, and Guo Fei didn't know whether it was good or bad. Miao Yu warned Guo Fei not to practice the demonic path's gong method, saying that such a method was too vicious. However, Tian Hunzi advised Guo Fei to practice the demonic path's gong method, claiming that it could counter the spiritual tribe's methods.

  Two people each have their own say, but Guo Fei himself didn't have too many thoughts on the matter. He was content with whatever came his way and went with the flow, which was exactly his attitude towards this situation.

  Apart from this, Guo Fei had another very puzzling thing. In the space of the military symbol, the existence of Xing Tang made Guo Fei very incomprehensible. Originally thought that this was a place to punish traitors, but it seemed not so simple. As the killings increased, more and more red gas clusters accumulated inside, full of evil energy, making people inexplicable.

  "Boom!" A loud rumbling sound came from several kilometers away. "Hahaha, again! It's been a long time since I've felt so refreshing." The distant sound of Monkey D. Luffy's hearty laughter echoed through the air.

  Guo Fei was taken aback, then immediately stood up and put on a new warrior's uniform. He walked over to where Monkey King was fighting against Tian Hunzi. Tian Hunzi's fists, condensed from gray mist, struck Monkey King's body with a loud crash, but couldn't budge him. At this time, Monkey King's entire body shone brightly like a golden Buddha, his fists and feet unfolding rapidly, emitting golden light. The speed of his punches was extremely fast, causing bursts of air explosions. It could be seen that this person's physical strength was unparalleled. Tian Hunzi relied on his ability to fly, constantly dodging Monkey King's fists and feet.

  Kuang Fei was stunned, in Kuang Fei's team, Tian Hunzi had the highest cultivation. He didn't expect that Hou Da could actually withstand Tian Hunzi without falling behind. This demon really had some skills and it wasn't an accident that he could occupy this paradise.

  "Having a form but no substance!" Miao Yu shook her head and sighed as she watched Guo Fei walk over.

  "Oh, what does 'Zun Zhe' mean?" Guo Fei asked in surprise.

  "Tianhunzi must have reached the realm of transformation before, but now that he has reached this realm again, he doesn't have the corresponding yuanqi to support it, so using it is awkward and uncoordinated." Miao Yu said calmly.

  "What is a Transformed Boundary?" Guo Fei was taken aback, and since he didn't know much about the Transformed Realm, he asked back with great interest.

  "No matter which tribe, above the Hua Jing boundary are all the same. The human tribe calls such warriors 'Zun Zhe', while the Yao, Mo and Gui tribes call them 'Wang'. In fact, they have all reached the Hua Jing boundary, which is divided into three levels: Hua Yun, Hua Xing and Hua Shen. Tian Hun Zi must have reached the Hua Xing boundary before, although he only touched the threshold, it's absolutely not as bad as now. Now he's just using his previous understanding to make moves, but they're not even in the same league. Otherwise, this newly-promoted Yao Wang would definitely not be his opponent." Miao Yu said in a low voice.

  Guo Fei smiled slightly, and Miao Yu was right. After Tianhunzi obtained this corpse puppet, it obviously did not fully merge, and the skill he displayed was not his own comprehension of the transformation technique, but rather the military skill "Ghost Hand of the Underworld".

  "Haha, it's pointless to continue fighting, neither of us can defeat the other." Monkey King suddenly retreated and burst into loud laughter.

  "Hmph! If I were in my prime, you would absolutely not be a match for me." Tianhunzi said with a low, indignant tone.

  "Monkey brother, the Monkey Wine is really too much!" Guo Fei smiled slightly and walked over. Although it didn't show on his face, a storm was brewing in his heart. A small, insignificant demon cultivator had left Tianhunzi helpless, he couldn't imagine how powerful the three tribes of demons must be. It seemed that they were even more formidable than the famous imperial princes and princesses of the human tribe. Apparently, fame wasn't always reliable.

  "Feiyu brothers like it, I'm satisfied. Baiyu brothers haven't woken up yet." Monkey King glanced at a hot spring pool in the distance and smiled faintly.

  "Monkey brother, if you really need the Hundred Beasts Heart Scripture, I can tell it to you." Guo Fei said sincerely.

  "Hehe. Honestly, I really want to take a look, I've been stuck here for many years and there are several threads that can't be connected, leaving a big tail behind. The cultivation methods of the demon clan are extremely rare, and we all rely on ourselves to explore in the long years. If I can refer to it, I would be grateful." Monkey Da said sincerely.

  "Hmm. Brother Monkey says so, it means he's a true temperament and a good man. If you pretend to be clever, you'll end up being inferior." Guo Fei smiled slightly and asked Liang Tie to call Ouyang Ting over from not far away. This woman had a complicated background, and Guo Fei took the opportunity to investigate clearly.
