Soul Devouring Formation was a very evil formation, it was also called Spirit Transfer Formation. Even a level one Soul Devouring Formation was very hard to set up as the materials needed werenât something ordinary people could acquire.
The main ingredient needed was Soul Devouring Wood, it grew in very hidden places without any sunlight. If it was exposed to light, it must be picked away immediately or it would wither.
The reason Soul Devouring Formation was evil was because it could transfer a cultivatorâs spirit roots. Through this, it could transfer a talented cultivatorâs spirit roots to yourself, making yourself better.
Rarely would anyone in the cultivation realm do this as the requirements needed were too strict. Even if someone got the Spirit Devouring Wood, they would rarely do this as once someone took the spirit roots through the formation, they couldnât use it for himself. He must give them to a third person so the formation really benefited the third person. Thatâs why it was called Spirit Transfer Formation.
The third person must also be blood related to the second person or it wouldnât work either.
So if Feng Xi got Li Hunâs spirit roots through the formation, he couldnât use them himself. He must give it to someone blood related to him.
Ye Mo also realized why Li He didnât kill Feng Xi after knowing this was Soul Devouring Formation. Feng Xi was also a victim and the person who harmed him might be his father Feng Chun.
The Soul Nourishing Formation and Soul Devouring Formation were quite similar and the only difference was the Soul Devouring Wood. If Feng Chun schemed all this, then he might teach Feng Xi this formation but tell him it was the Soul Nourishing Formation instead.
But Ye Mo felt it was also suspicious even if Feng Chun did it. Regardless of whether Feng Xi succeeded or not, he didnât need to set up this huge illusion formation and create this terrifying mist that could make a cultivator lose his soul.
Plus, the news he got came from Teng Yi who said it was a legend. Who knew if it was real? Bright Moon City was destroyed, so who spread the legend out? Of course, Feng Chun was the most suspicious.
Ye Mo shook his head and didnât keep thinking. He left this room. This had nothing to do with him, he just wanted to search for spirit herbs.
As soon as he walked out, that black figure appeared in his spirit sense again. Shadowless knew what Ye Mo wanted and charged up already; that black figure seemed to know Shadowless was coming and wanted to run away but Shadowlessâs eating power was displayed. It sucked and that black figure turned into a line and was devoured by Shadowless.
Ye Mo saw this and thought that this eating monster was really powerful.
Moments later, Ye Mo felt Shadowlessâ joy and knew that Shadowless ate a soul that was being nourished in the mist.
Realizing this, Ye Mo was shook. If that was the case, there definitely was some terrifying existence in the mist. Those cultivators who came in here had their souls stripped and kept inside the mist, when he wanted to use one he would take one.
What cultivation method was practiced through devouring peopleâs souls? What being was this? Was he a demon cultivator or beast cultivator?
If he found the Immortal Curl Flower, Ye Mo might leave right now. he didnât want to stay in this eerie environment.
He no longer had the mood to stay in this room, he quickly left and sped past streets and went into the Golden Page World at a hidden spot.
Even though Ji Lingâs essence spirit was weak he had to ask Ji Ling.
Ji Ling was still asleep, but due to Ye Moâs Herb King Spirit Range, and the Bitter Bamboo, his essence spirit didnât weaken.
Ji Ling immediately knew that it was something important since Ye Mo wouldnât wake him otherwise. âIs it something important?â
Ye Mo nodded, he said directly, âQian bei, Iâve encountered a place outside, itâs covered in grey mist and after going inside, cultivators are susceptible to losing their soul...â
âYouâre talking about Lost Soul Ruins?â Ji Ling asked.
Ye Mo answered immediately, âThatâs right, Lost Soul Ruins.â
âYe Mo thank you, you probably came here to find the Immortal Curl Flower for me right?â Ji Ling said.
âJi Ling qian bei, nowâs not the time to talk about that. I see many souls in here but they only have a dark figure body and dimly lit eyes...â
Ji Ling said in shock, âSo Lost Soul Ruins is where demon cultivators devour souls. Ye Mo leave quickly, even if I canât recover my body you must not stay here. You donât know how terrifying soul devouring cultivators are, theyâre more demonic than demons.â
Ye Mo had already come inside, he wasnât going to leave unless he got Immortal Curl Flower here.
Ji Ling was saying this for his benefit but Ye Mo still said, âQian bei, what is a soul devouring cultivator? Itâs the first time Iâve heard about it.â
Ji Ling replied, âItâs a very terrifying cultivation method, the cultivator can keep othersâ souls and let them grow itself. When he needs it, he can devour them to strengthen his own soul. These cultivatorsâ spirit sense and soul are very powerful, more than ten times that of ordinary cultivators. Theyâre definitely invincible in the same cultivation level and can easily kill cultivators above their level.â
Ji Ling murmured, âNo wonder thereâre so many spirit herbs here.â
âWhy?â Ye Mo immediately asked.
âBecause the souls he keeps need spirit herbs to feed them or their level wouldnât be high enough and thus wonât be able to benefit his cultivation,â Ji Ling replied weakly.
Ye Mo saw this and quickly said, âQian bei, go rest first, I understand.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ji Ling sighed, he worried for Ye Mo but he wasnât able to help him.
Ye Mo left the Golden Page World and realized why Shadowless loved devouring the black figures so much. They were all souls fed with high level spirit herbs.
Ye Mo even suspected that the cultivator holding high level spirit herbs was intentionally let out to attract more people to come.
Knowing that there was a very powerful being here, Ye Mo didnât keep searching for spirit herbs. Since it was kept by someone, he wouldnât be able to rob it. According to Ji Ling, that cultivator must be very strong and he probably was no match for him. What he needed to do now was to find the formation door of the illusion formation. Only when he could control the illusion formation would he be able to keep searching for spirit herbs.
Only then would he be able to leave whenever he wanted.
At this moment, Ye Mo felt a strong spirit essence wave from Shadowless. He immediately realized Shadowless broke through. He didnât know what level Shadowless was, but each time it broke through, itâs power rose drastically.
Shadowless broke through just by eating a black figure and didnât even go to sleep. Ye Mo rejoiced and let the mist come near him by removing Purple Eye Soul Sever.
As soon as the grey mist neared Ye Mo, it turned into a grey beam that was devoured completely by Shadowless. Then, the grey mist started to retreat as though it was alive.
Shadowless didnât seem to be interested in chasing up, itâs eyes looked around in the mist for something, clearly wanting the black figure souls.
Ye Mo breathed easy. With Shadowless, it was much easier for him. He could focus on studying the formation.
The illusion formation here was very high level but it wasnât hard for level nine formation grand master Ye Mo.
Two hours later, Ye Mo came to that big square again. He found the first formation door here and he found that this place was not only an illusion formation but also a level eight attack and trap formation. Only the illusion formation was level nine.
The formation flags were either hidden in the air had been transformed into pebbles and rocks on the square.
He made a new formation flag and replaced the old formation flag with his own.
