Chu Xuan gestured with his hand, and a set of formation patterns fell into his palm.This formation, known as the Yellow Springs Soul Refining Array, was notoriously infamous within the Nether Dao Sect.Such a formation should not have been accessible to Chu Xuan, but Wan Wuying, having spent much time hiding in the Ghost Palace, had not come away empty-handed. The Yellow Springs Soul Refining Array was one of his significant finds.Wan Wuying's skills in formation were so flawed that even the spiritual qi would refuse to enter. After some negotiations, he simply sold the formation to Chu Xuan.Once deployed, this formation would attract nearby ghosts. Under normal circumstances, it could transform any place into a land rampant with malicious spirits within a century.However, given the density of ghosts on Soul Star, it would hardly take a century—probably just one year for the land to become fully malignant.In due time, the ghosts within the affected area would fight ceaselessly un

Beneath the surface of Soul Star, complex and interlacing tunnels led deeper to cities buried underground. These subterranean cities were built by the aristocrats of Soul Star over a thousand years ago. Even the nobles themselves did not know exactly how many such bases existed beneath the surface of Soul Star.Originally intended for emergency use, these cities became refuges when the Soul Tribe, once used as fuel by the aristocrats, rebelled. Now, those with physical bodies on Soul Star were primarily descendants of those nobles, including members of the Ascendant Faction, who all bore the original sin of enslaving their kin.Among these underground cities was the City of Light, one of the few strongholds of the Ascendant Faction. Due to the faction's unique position, they were opposed by the Slaughter Faction, the Husbandry Faction, and other inhabitants of Soul Star. Maintaining a few deeply hidden cities was no small feat.Yun Qi and Zhao Sheng, experienced in navigating these pa

"From now on, you are not allowed to speak when we're out," Chu Xuan warned. Four Armed whined pitifully and shrank to one side."Two Armed, I leave this place to you. If anyone dares to approach the Yellow Springs Soul Refining Array, no need for talk, just cut them down," Chu Xuan casually ordered."Dad, rest assured!" Two Armed nodded emphatically.Chu Xuan nodded slightly, retracted the Heaven-Blocking Umbrella, and took Four Armed back inside.Back on Blue Star, he threw a few more small spiritual stones into the Psionic Cube to reactivate the Psionic Transmission Matrix.Soon, the detached soul merged back into his body. After a brief period of adjustment, they were unified once more."Any changes on Blue Star?"Chu Xuan strode out of the array and returned to Haotai Hotel. Information gathered from various parts of Blue Star by Black Blade was typically delivered here by a dedicated team, usually consisting of Wang Gangjian, Wang Yong, Tang Jinchuan, and Song Dayi, the core fou

The expressions of the three bandit cultivators shifted slightly, and after exchanging a look, they each pulled out their respective weapons—a ghost commander, a corpse commander, and a swarm of gu insects. These were classic demonic cultivator tactics."This old man is fishy, he might have baited us instead," one murmured."Impossible, we three brothers are so strong, how could he possibly fish for us?" another dismissed the concern."Together, then! Even if he has hidden tricks, could he possibly stand against the three of us?!" they resolved, readying for an all-out attack.The three attackers converged on him—ghosts, corpse puppets, and swarms of gu insects charged toward Chu Xuan.With a gesture, Chu Xuan summoned his Sky-Shielding Umbrella, and suddenly, a ghastly two-headed, four-armed Ghost King appeared, towering six zhang tall, his body clad in jagged, protruding armor.The air around him was thick with a chilling ghostly aura and a menacing murderous vibe. His massive mouth

With a crisp snap, immense force burst forth, instantly twisting and breaking the burly hand covered in black hair. A pained scream erupted suddenly, drawing the attention of the surrounding cultivators. They then realized that the one who had broken the hand was a formidable and vicious corpse puppet."Isn't that Kou Mang the Black Wind Ghost? This guy is notorious for murdering and looting around Lei Family City!""I recognize him too, he killed a good friend of mine!""If I'm not mistaken, Kou Mang is a sixth-level Golden Core cultivator, and also skilled in physical cultivation. Though not highly advanced in bodily cultivation, his physical strength should surpass most Golden Core cultivators, how could he...""Unless that's a sixth-level Corpse Commander!"The onlookers gasped in shock. A Corpse Commander, and at least a sixth-level one at that!"Spare me! Please, spare my life!" Kou Mang immediately pleaded for mercy, tears and snot streaming down his face.Chu Xuan's expression
