Li Yunmu didnât say anything further and collected the manuscript into his heavenly world.
"Everyone must forget about todayâs matter. Regardless of whether it is the Ghost Kingâs Body Refining Secrets or Devil Soul Refinement."
A hint of solemnity finally appeared in Li Yunmuâs voice.
All of the followers understood the reason behind his words and nodded with serious expressions.
No one had thought that the treasures hidden in Devilâs old nest would be so world shaking. Except for the couple original manuscripts, there werenât any other precious treasure here.
But if the news about these couple original manuscripts was leaked outside, then all the Temporal layer, Nirvana layer, and even some sage layer experts would go crazy like sharks whoâd smelled blood.
Thus, this matter had to be kept a secret.
Given their present cultivation, they wouldnât need to cultivate Devil Soul Refinement for a long time, so Li Yunmu didnât plan on revealing this higher level cultivation method to his followers.
As for the Ghost Kingâs Body Refining Method, that was all right.
Although it was a temporal layer secret technique, at least it wouldnât cause a commotion like Devil Soul Refinement.
They then continued to look through the ancient copper box.
It also contained Ghost Clanâs inheritance method. Everyone flipped through it once and realized why Devil had made the decision to re-cultivate.
This secret technique explained how a human could gain possession of Ghost Clanâs bloodline, including the materials required and the way to transform oneâs bloodline. Everything was explained in complete detail.
This secret technique was known as - Ghost Inheritance!
This secret technique couldnât be classified into any grade because it only allowed humans to transform into ghosts.
In the ancient box, there were also several small porcelain bottles. When the group examined all of them one by one, they discovered that they were the materials required to transform into a ghost. Devil seemed to have been collecting them during the past few years, but he had still been lacking two or three materials.
"Who wants to become a ghost?"
Li Yunmu collected the box into his heavenly world and then spit out a mouthful of impure air.
"I," Underworld Hand said without any hesitation.
"Me too."
"I, Nangong, also want to switch."
Within a short while, three of the eight followers made their decision. They knew that all the cultivation methods and secret techniques which they had discovered just now would be more compatible with them after they switched to Ghost bloodline.
Flowing Cloud opened her mouth, but didnât say anything in the end. What concerned this extremely stunning woman, it was extremely hard to know what she was thinking.
"You donât have any special innate ability, so I advise you to switch to the Ghost Inheritance. Besides, the ghost clan might be affiliated with darkness, but that clan is still quite close to the human race. It wonât have much influence on your situation," Li Qinghong suddenly said to Flowing Cloud.
Flowing Cloud looked at the four people who had gotten a great boost in their strength after re-cultivating, then clenched her teeth and made the decision.
"The-then I will switch."
It was just as Li Qinghong had said, the reason why Li Yunmu hadnât taken the initiative to choose the three people to re cultivate was mainly because Underworld Hand and them didnât possess the necessary qualifications.
Li Qinghong possessed sungod birdâs undying sage blood, while Lin Jian cultivated the blade intent of Bladewood and possessed extreme determination regarding his blade intent. He also had the blade whetstone to assist in cultivation, so he was a person with great future prospects.
The reason behind choosing Barbarian Niu neednât be explained. He was a person from the Desolate Continent, so he had merged with a bloodline upon awakening.
If they hadnât found the kingâs true territory containing divine blood, then he wouldâve remained an ordinary evolved human and couldnât be considered as outstanding. However, because of divine blood as well as having merged with the bloodline of Mist Fiends, he could now even stand in front of Li Qinghong.
Among the four, Demon was the most outstanding, but not because of his personal strength. It was because he could summon more than two amphibious sea beasts.
Divine blood had polished his only skill, and so, in the future, he would also have great prospects.
Now that they had found a great treasure, as long as they knew how to switch to the ghost bloodline, they would rise swiftly in the future.
Li Qinghong didnât want her junior sister Flowing Cloud to miss such an opportunity.
"I will also switch."
The person who also wanted to inherit the ghost bloodline was surprisingly Demon. Apparently he wasnât satisfied with always relying on his sea beasts.
"Thatâs good. Commit the eighteen secret ingredients necessary for Ghost Inheritance usage to your memory, then use all your private resources to quickly find them."
And thus, the mission to kill Devil was concluded. Although Li Yunmu couldnât fulfill the goal of obtaining all five parts of the Azure Dragon Deity Suit, it wasnât like there had been much hope for it from the start.
Thus, no one was really disappointed. On the contrary, Devilâs treasures had already left all of them dumbfounded. Devil had really concealed himself too deeply.
If Li Yunmu hadnât possessed the two parts of Azure Dragon Deity Suit and used the female shadow ancestor, Devil wouldâve probably escaped using Ghostly Image Substitution.
Mabe then he wouldâve continued living in hiding by relying on the inheritances he possessed. In time, less than ten years later, he wouldâve appeared again as another extremely terrifying character.
This had almost become a reality!
But unfortunately for him, although he had gained a great opportunity, he didnât have great luck. He had been able to avoid Frontline Heaven, but he couldnât escape Li Yunmuâs hands.
All followers sighed in pity for Devil. It wasnât that he didnât have good luck, it was just that it had been crushed by their master.
Soon, Li Yunmu led his followers out and disappeared from the cave.
They didnât remain any longer in the death zone, and even the people dispatched by Frontline Heaven to secretly infiltrate the region and learn about Li Yunmuâs attitude couldnât discover even a trace of them.
A day passed by.
The eight followers had used their personal resources to locate the secret materials which Devil couldnât find.
Li Yunmu had indeed been quite generous with his followers and granted them great freedom including the power to keep control of the businesses they were engaged in before, to keep their wealth and relationships, resources to gather intelligence, and so on. He hadnât taken complete control of them.
He allowed his underlings to have the freedom to expand their own power. He only needed to hold onto their soul imprint, the most core part of a human, thatâs all.
Including the former third most powerful Halted Fluxer Nangong Gongzi, the group of eight used all their private contacts to the fullest and quickly located three materials which Devil couldnât find. After this, only one ingredient remained. It was the rarest of them all, and they simply couldnât find its location.
During this whole time, Li Yunmu stayed within his heavenly world, undergoing the final preparations.
Ghostly Image Substitution, Ghostly Evasion, Ghost Kingâs Body Refining Secrets, Devil Soul Refinement, Ghost Inheritanceâthe five recently obtained original manuscripts had already entered the systemâs hoard of real worldâs secret techniques. After they were supplemented and repaired, cultivation relaying globes were being manufactured for all of them.
Without any hesitation, Li Yunmu immediately chose to cultivate Ghostly Image Substitution first. Among all sage skills which he had grasped until now, this life-saving ability was comparable to only one, Deity Execution.
However, Deity Execution couldnât be considered as his own skill, but the ability of the refined Snow Guzzle Cold Blade.
Thus, if Li Yunmu cultivated this sage level secret technique, he would have one that was truly his own. And it wasnât hard for him to start cultivating it since he possessed the golden black armor which allowed him to ignore the condition of possessing bloodline of the Ghost Clan.
After the first cultivation relaying globe of Ghostly Image Substitution was manufactured, he immediately jumped into the cultivation space and began to try to grasp this skill.
If he mastered this evasion technique, he wouldnât need any protection jades in the future.
