Chapter 241: Ice Soul Formation

Chu Xuan gazed at the Yellow Springs Soul Refining Array and nodded slightly. It had been a long time since he last visited this formation. During this period, he had only fetched a few items. Each time, he harvested several million wronged souls and vengeful spirits.

Yet, the number of ghosts within the formation continued to grow unabated. The strongest of the ghosts had already reached the level of a ninth-grade Ghost Commander. However, no Ghost King had yet emerged.

Chu Xuan had no intention of allowing a Ghost King to arise among them. He planned to construct another formation called the "Extreme Cold Ice Crystal Formation" on the basis of the current one, a Nascent Soul stage formation.

This new formation would have dual functions. It would accelerate the mutual slaughter among the ghosts, determining the emergence of even stronger spirits. It would also cause the ghosts' bodies to condense ice soul crystals—a strategy that killed two birds with one stone.

The ghosts would be devoured by Two Arms and Four Arms to further their own realms, while the ice soul crystals would be reserved for his own absorption to swiftly advance the levels of his Mysterious Heavenly Ice Soul Scroll.

Chu Xuan had never set up a Nascent Soul stage formation before. His initial attempt was somewhat strenuous. However, everything has its first time, and with more practice, he would naturally master it.

Chu Xuan spent a whole day setting up the Extreme Cold Ice Crystal Formation. He made many errors during the process, but each was quickly corrected. Before long, a chill began to rise within the bounds of the formation.

The ghosts within were subtly transformed by this influence. This process would take a considerable amount of time, but it could be hastened by artificially increasing the chill and yin energy.

"From now on, it shall be known as the Ice Soul Formation," Chu Xuan declared casually, waving his hand. "This formation consumes a great deal, requiring a millennium-old ice crystal every five years. If we wish to accelerate this process, the consumption will be even greater. I must pay more attention to this matter."

Chu Xuan noted this and began to check what messages the spies he had planted had sent back.

"This detailed?" Chu Xuan was surprised at the information sent by Ghost Three and Ghost Four. The intelligence included detailed data on the garrison situations and exact numbers of twelve large cities under the Husbandry Faction. They had even sent back a map!

"What position have they managed to infiltrate? Could they already be close servants to the Greedy King?" Chu Xuan marveled. He truly had picked a group of ghost geniuses!

He scrutinized the vast and intricate but exceedingly detailed intelligence, pondering deeply. The strength of those twelve large cities was quite mediocre. Armed with Two Arms and Four Arms, Chu Xuan could easily storm in and wreak havoc. The Ghost Kings there were like a tonic for enhancing his soul.

Chu Xuan felt a touch of emotion. Which other cultivator could enjoy such treatment, freely devouring powerful souls?

After all, ghosts were a resource. The lands of extreme yin and places of grievous injustice had long been controlled by powerful forces. Not everyone could take and use them as freely as Chu Xuan.

"Let's choose Moonlight City," Chu Xuan decided.

Moonlight City was a new large city established by the Husbandry Faction, filling the void left by the former Torrential Flow City.

"However, before I go, I should strengthen my powers a bit more. It would be best to master a Nascent Soul stage soul technique."

Chu Xuan reviewed the jade slips and selected the soul technique he sought. This technique, a high-grade Nascent Soul stage soul technique called "Sky-Tearing Cold Palm," had two levels.

Mastering the first level allowed one to condense a giant hand of consciousness. Achieving the second level allowed for the formation of two such hands, as if tearing the skys themselves. Even just mastering the first level, the attack would carry the essence of chilling delay.

Chu Xuan estimated that mastering the first level alone would be sufficient to ensure no major mishaps. He planned to bring along several Ghost Commanders as cannon fodder. With such preparations, he would surely rest easy.

Having made his plans, Chu Xuan immediately sat down beside the Ice Soul Formation to cultivate the Sky-Tearing Cold Palm. A year later, he effortlessly mastered the first level of the technique.
