Chapter 328: Baiting into a Trap

Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem

This was truly a rarely seen miracle. Li Yunmu’s group had no clue how Ye Qing could have accomplished this feat. They knew that unless a person’s consciousness sea had reached a certain size, their soul would instantly disperse after their death and turn into nothing, thus thoroughly eliminating all their vestiges from the world.

That was why the mortal soul was something which was considered to be exclusive to deities. After they died, they would have the opportunity to congeal a mortal soul and thus exist eternally.

Furthermore, over countless years, a mortal soul could grow stronger by using special cultivation methods and even gain dominance over another life-form, taking over its body.

Looking Ye Qing’s resentful gaze, Li Yunmu didn’t care about it much. As long as Ye Qing was conscious and clear-headed, he could be forced to agree to a compromise.

"Share your knowledge, and I’ll allow you to obtain immortality by living eternally within my heavenly world."

However, Ye Qing’s current circumstances were no different from being dead, so how could it agree to a compromise. He kept staring at Li Yunmu with a resentful gaze.

Li Yunmu didn’t care about Ye Qing’s reaction and calmly threw out another benefit, "If you will bind your mortal soul to my heavenly world, then you’ll even gain a certain amount of freedom to roam outside."

Sure enough, hearing this condition, Ye Qing was shaken. However, he still didn’t compromise, because his life would then still remain in Li Yunmu’s hands.

If he had his corporeal body or a regular human body, then binding his soul would be all right. But after turning into a mortal soul, the current Ye Qing had no hopes, especially given that he was still under the control of his mortal enemy. So how could heagree to a compromise?

"Take a look at this and then decide again."

Li Yunmu threw out another card, acting like the devil.

Even if Ye Qing had died, Li Yunmu still didn’t release him but continued to throw out bait, slowly removing his resistances. He wasn’t the least bit worried that the opponent wouldn’t agree to a compromise.

Regardless of how much Ye Qing resented him, he was confident that as long as he could give a wisp of hope to him, then given Ye Qing’s ambitious nature, he certainly wouldn’t be able to refuse the bait.

The trump card used by Li Yunmu was Ghost King’s Body Refining Method.

Ghosts, from some angles, were extremely similar to mortal souls. Although people like Demon who had their corporeal body instact had cultivated some techniques to become authentic ghost clansmen, this wasn’t the conventional way. It was rather a trick to cultivate the secrets methods of the Ghost Clan.

That’s why it was foreordained that in the future, Demon’s path of cultivation would be extremely difficult. After all, in a way, he still wasn’t a true ghost clansman.

Instead, the present Ye Qing who had separated his soul from his corporeal body was extremely similar to a ghost clansman.

Therefore, when he saw Ghost King’s Body Refining Method in Li Yunmu’s hand, he felt extremely uncomfortable and found it difficult to preserve his desireless tranquility.

The desires and possessions of a human are their weak points. Presently, Li Yunmu could clearly witness this fact being proved right.

Ghost King’s Body Refining Method would theoretically allow Ye Qing’s mortal soul to be strengthened and become powerful. Just then, when he used his tail to write a few words on the ground, Ye Qing had spent a tremendous amount of energy.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

If not for Li Yunmu’s keen eyesight, it would have been impossible for him to see the traces of those words. They were extremely shallow and almost invisible to the naked eye.

From this, it could be concluded that although the present Ye Qing had cultivated a mortal soul, it needed to be strengthened over time. It would take countless years to reach the stage of being able to interact with matter again.

However, if he possessed Ghost King’s Body Refining Method, the mortal soul would be strengthened very quickly, allowing him to reach the realm in which he could interact with matter far more quickly. This was the reason why Ye Qing found it hard to refuse.

While holding Ghost King’s Body Refining Technique, Li Yunmu said, "Tell me everything that you know."

With his temperament when he was alive, how could Ye Qing endure the enticement of such a cultivation method. Ghost King’s Body Refining Method was not a simple technique of the Ghost Clan; otherwise, it wouldn’t have Ghost King in its name.

Even within the Ghost Clan, only the Ghost Kings had the qualifications to cultivate this method, so it was understandable that Ye Qing was feeling quite moved.

Even if he knew Li Yunmu’s objective, he couldn’t resist such enticement. He was struggling very much at this moment.

"Being a genius means adapting to circumstances. Presently, you have two choices: you could strengthen your soul, or you can be thoroughly eliminated from this world without leaving behind a trace."

Li Qinghong, who was standing at Li Yunmu’s side, ruthlessly raised her Frightening Imperial Spear.

A hint of killing intent flickered in her eyes, so no one would believe that she was joking. If Ye Qing didn’t agree to the compromise, the legendary dragon soul in her Frightening Imperial Spear would certainly gobble up his mortal soul.

Ye Qing abhorred Li Yunmu, but facing Li Qinghong, he was extremely fearful. He was clear that this woman hated him and was firm in her decisions.

In the end, he wrote another sentence on the ground with great effort.

"You really are delusioned. Even now, you want to preserve Divine Religion’s secrets. Do you really think that you have a chance of staging a comeback? Don’t forget your present condition," Li Qinghong said while fuming with rage.

She was extremely annoyed by Ye Qing’s wild ambitions.

He had decided to cultivate the cultivation method and wanted to obtain it from Li Yunmu, while as for the secret of the origin world, Ye Qing didn’t mention anything about it.

Similarly, he also didn’t reply to Li Yunmu’s demand of binding himself to his heavenly world. Li Yunmu’s group of three then instantly understood that the appearance of Ghost King’s Body Refining Method had given ahope of being reborn to Ye Qing.

he used his reply to throw a bait from his side to Li Yunmu to lure him into exchanging Ghost King’s Body Refining Method for the method to cultivate mortal soul.

It has to be said that this was a great enticement. As long as it was tossed out, then whether it was Li Yunmu or Demon, both of them would be extremely moved.

As long as they were moved, Li Yunmu wouldn’t extinguish the mortal soul in his heavenly world, even if it didn’t provide the secret of the origin world for the time being.

Perhaps only people like Li Qinghong with their firm willpower would be able to completely reject it.

"Alright, consider the exchange a success."

Without any hesitation or caring for Li Qinghong’s words, Li Yunmu agreed to the enemy’s condition.

As Li Yunmu had thought, Ye Qing couldn’t decline this secret cultivation method to cultivate the mortal soul. It must be known that this was another path to survive for eternity. Moreover, Li Yunmu also had Ghostly Image Substitution and other methods.

As long as Ye Qing had his ambitions and desires, he wouldn’t be able to refuse such bait.
