I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 620: Chapter 398 Core Formation and Heavenly Tribulation?_2

Zhou Shengqing held the Soul Summoning Lamp, involuntarily marveling at it.

This item was essentially a Demon Dao artifact, which was prohibited in most parts of the Eastern Region.

For instance, in the Eastern Land Domain, everyone regards themselves as upright and honorable. Ghost and corpse cultivators are generally shunned by all. Hence, items like the Soul Summoning Lamp can only be bought and sold in secret.

Outside of the Eastern Land Domain, things weren’t as strict.

“Many old timers nearing the end of their lifespan would secretly travel to East Li to purchase a Soul Summoning Lamp. There are many Demon Sect artifact refining experts over there who make a hefty amount of Spirit Stones and accumulate resources by selling these artifacts.”

If Zhou Shengqing had not broken through to the Nascent Soul stage by the end of his lifespan, he had also considered taking this route.

“Ancestor, since the Soul Summoning Lamp is so precious, why not let the sect keep it.”

Chen Mobai immediately spoke up with righteous indignation. After all, he felt that he probably didn’t need the Soul Summoning Lamp anymore.

“If I were to use a Soul Summoning Lamp, I’d prefer a Rank-4 one. Moreover, the usage method of each Soul Summoning Lamp varies.”

Zhou Shengqing shook his head, handing the Soul Summoning Lamp in his hand to Chen Mobai. He was on the verge of Perfect Core Formation and a Rank-3 Soul Summoning Lamp could not fully accommodate his entire mind and soul.

“Ancestor, if Mrs. Guo might be involved with the Road to the Underworld, how should we handle it?”

Chen Mobai asked about this matter again.

“You go and meet her. However, what ghosts are best at is creating clones, so don’t hold out too much hope.”

With Zhou Shengqing’s words, Chen Mobai felt assured.

In Shenmu Hall, on a piece of bright yellow talisman paper, he wrote an address and lit it on fire. In no time, the paper was burned to ashes and the content on it was revealed to those who knew how to see.

“Jade Stone Mountain!”

Chen Mobai chose the location where the Guo family’s Spirit Veins were situated, a place he had visited when he was touring Green Phoenix Market last time.

Mrs. Guo was a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Guo family. After she died, the Guo family began to decline sharply. They were already selling their properties, preparing to flee to the Five Elements Sect.

However, after Chen Mobai killed Hong Xu and the Divine Wood Sect swept the Loose Repair Alliance, the Guo family found that most of their major enemies had disappeared.

Another enemy, a powerful man named Dou Yewang, seemed to have gotten wind of something and directly fled to the neighboring Snow Country.

The Guo family had managed to weather the storm but had still sent a portion of their family core to the Five Elements Sect to join Guo Boyear. However, some elders and family branches hadn’t left and were still holding up the name of the Guo family in the Founding Nation.

Chen Mobai, equipped with a Body-Protecting talisman given by Zhou Shengqing, took a teleportation array to the Green Phoenix Market. After inspecting his shops, he arrived at the Guo family’s Jade Stone Mountain under the cover of night.

This Jade Stone Mountain had been sold by the Guo family to various powerful forces in Green Phoenix Market, with the Divine Wood Sect holding the largest share.

As the guard of the Founding Nation from the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai easily entered the place.

However, he didn’t release the restrictions. He wanted to see what this mysterious entity, acting in the name of Mrs. Guo, was capable of.

When the moon had reached its zenith…

Standing on a peak, Chen Mobai suddenly changed his expression. Facing the white fog seeping out of the ground before his eyes, his eyes sparkled brilliantly.

Under his Void Spirit Eye, he saw a mysterious divine consciousness fluctuation that transcended physical restrictions. It passed through the large formation of Jade Stone Mountain, drilled into it along the Spirit Vein energy, and consolidated in front of him into a voluptuous, pale-skinned young woman.

“May I ask your name?”

Chen Mobai asked politely.

“I’ve forgotten the name I was known by before I went to sleep. You can just call me Mrs. Guo.”

A slightly husky voice with a magnetic quality echoed. Chen Mobai was a bit skeptical if the person in front of him was really a ghost.

“What do you need from me?”

“I have lost my memory. I suspect that lamp could be of help to me, so I want to take it back.”

After Mrs. Guo finished speaking, she reached out her right hand towards Chen Mobai.

“Oh, I can’t agree to that. I went through a great deal to collect this Soul Summoning Lamp.”

During this conversation, Chen Mobai took out the fully assembled Five-Colored Lotus Lamp. Mrs. Guo’s eyes lit up and she immediately extended her hand towards the lamp.

With a hiss!

Chen Mobai swung the finger of his right hand lightly, and a sword light, splashed with the flames of Qingyang Fire, severed Mrs. Guo’s right hand.

However, even though the severed fog hand was dissipating under the burn of the flame, Mrs. Guo calmly differentiated into ten more fog ghost claws and scratched towards Chen Mobai from all directions.

Although Chen Mobai had many ways to deal with this, he felt it was better to conserve energy since he had a backer this time.

He immediately crushed the talisman in his sleeve.

In a short while, a streak of green light lit up in the sky and Zhou Shengqing, who had been waiting long ago, charged over.

When the Golden Core Ancestor made his move, it was naturally extraordinary.

Five fingers splayed, with a move called Drawing Ground into Prison, he directly extracted Mrs. Guo who had turned into white fog and wanted to escape by seeping into the ground.

However, Mrs. Guo, who was imprisoned in the wood cage, just frowned and broke into pieces of Bone Jade.

“It was indeed just a clone after all.”

Zhou Shengqing had a gloomy face as he dispelled the wooden prison and with a breath of flame, burned the shattered Bone Jade into nothingness.

“Ancestor, can we confirm that she is a ghost cultivator from the Road to the Underworld?”

“More likely than not. But it’s also possible that it’s some old timer who had a problem during the process of becoming a ghost cultivator. Likely a Golden Core cultivator while alive.”
