Chapter 2860 The Spirit of the Treasure?

Especially in recent times, Lu Ye could clearly feel the insufficiency of his own spiritual power when facing many powerful enemies.

Powerful men like Xuan Wu Zong and Zong Shenliang have practiced for countless tens of thousands of years, and their spiritual power is condensed and powerful.

This soul-related treasure came at the right time. If it can be refined and used to guard the soul sea with its power, it can make up for its own shortcomings. If it encounters a strong enemy in the future, it will not suffer a loss in this regard.

Jingle Bell……

Just when Lu Ye's heart was filled with joy, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

The bell has been ringing non-stop, and the ripples in my soul sea have grown from the initial ripples to increasingly stronger ones, and now they are slightly unstable.

Before he could figure out what was happening, his hand suddenly felt lighter and the bell turned into a streak of light and flew straight towards his head.

Lu Ye was knocked back and almost fell to the ground. He quickly steadied himself and his face suddenly darkened.

He quickly immersed himself in the matter.

In the soul sea, Lu Ye's soul body appeared. Above the vast sea surface, a tall figure stood. This figure was also a soul body, but it looked a little dull, like a flower that had not been nourished by rain and dew for a long time.

She was holding a bell in her hand, which was the one Lu Ye had just picked up. The bell continued to make sounds, stirring up the sea of ​​soul.

Even Lu Ye's soul felt unbearable pain, as if countless needles were pricking his body.

He raised his eyes to look at the soul and frowned slightly.

He originally thought that the one invading his sea of ​​soul was the soul of the skeleton outside, but the situation before him was obviously not the case, because the skeleton was obviously left behind by a man after his death, but the one invading his sea of ​​soul was a woman.

Is this... the spirit of the treasure?

This thought suddenly came to Lu Ye’s mind. If this was the case, then it could explain why the soul in front of him was that of a woman.

Under normal circumstances, after a cultivator's vitality is completely extinguished, even if the soul can survive, it will not be able to last for too long without any attachment, unless there is an opportunity to enter a place like the soul clan's ancestral land and transform into a soul clan member.

Or like Yiyi, turning into amber and becoming a melancholy spirit.

The skeleton outside has been dead for who knows how many years. His soul would definitely not be able to remain and should have been annihilated long ago.

So the one in front of us is most likely the spirit of the treasure!

But if the other party is the spirit of the treasure, why would it invade my soul sea? It can communicate with me.

But in fact, before the sudden change, Lu Ye had no idea at all. The other party hid very well and used the power of the treasure to shake his soul defense and invade.

Just as Lu Ye was thinking this, the tall, curvy woman suddenly spoke slowly: "Young man, don't resist. I won't destroy your soul, I just want to borrow your body!"

Her voice was clear and soft, and as her voice rang out, the sound of the bells also changed. The sound cleansed his soul and body, and Lu Ye strangely found that he actually felt somewhat calm, and his turbulent soul sea also stabilized.

He thought for a moment and then slowly said, "Aren't you the spirit of the treasure?"

This was what he had originally guessed, but when the other party spoke, he felt something was not right.

In this world, how could the spirit of a supreme treasure come to take over the body of a cultivator?

The woman glanced at him and raised her eyebrows slightly: "You are very courageous. You are the only person I have met in all these years who can remain calm in such a situation."

She had encountered similar situations many times over the countless years. Those monks whose bodies were about to be taken away by her would either curse at her, or attack her directly, or beg her for mercy. No one was as calm and indifferent as Lu Ye.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Lu Ye looked at her steadily.

The woman said, "I am, and I am not!"

"What do you mean?" Lu Ye was a little confused.

The woman frowned, obviously not wanting to answer this question, but then she thought, it has been so many years, it is rare to meet a living person here, and she also wants to take over the other person's body, so it seems that there is no harm in saying more.

"The Soul-Calming Bell is my most precious treasure. It has no intelligence." The woman spoke slowly. When she got this treasure, she wiped out its intelligence, otherwise it would be difficult to subdue it. "I was trapped here. When my body was destroyed, I transformed my soul into its intelligence. So I can be considered the spirit of the treasure, or I can say I am not!"

Lu Ye suddenly realized and was secretly shocked.

This woman is indeed one of the top ten city lord-level powerhouses, otherwise she would not be able to do such a thing.

"So the skeleton outside is not your body." Lu Ye figured out the doubts in his heart.

"Yes, that was the last monk who was trapped here like you."

"You took his body, just like you are about to do to me now."

The woman sighed, "Although I have replaced the spirit of the treasure with my own soul, it is still a tree without roots and water without a source. Only by constantly taking the bodies of others can I continue to survive. You can see that my soul is dim. If it weren't for the protection of the power of the treasure, I'm afraid it would have disappeared long ago."

Moreover, even with the protection of the power of the treasure, it cannot be maintained forever. If Lu Ye had not come in this time, in another thousand or eight hundred years, her soul might really dissipate.

For her, Lu Ye’s arrival was a chance to survive, so she couldn’t let it go at all.

"What is your name, fellow Taoist?" Lu Ye asked.

The woman was silent for a moment before she spoke: "Jin Yao."

Lu Ye thought about it and realized he had never heard of him. However, this person must have lived a very long time ago. No one knew which generation of the top ten city lords he belonged to. It was normal that he had never heard of him.

"Have you heard of Jiuying?" Lu Ye asked.

"Jiuying?" The woman frowned and shook her head, "No."

My goodness, this person is most likely a stronger being who is older than Jiuying, otherwise he would not have heard of Jiuying. After all, all the gods in the sect know about the existence of Jiuying.

"Don't worry, although I will take away your body, I will not destroy your spiritual intelligence. From now on, you and I can coexist in one body." Jin Yao comforted again.

Lu Ye couldn't help but touch his nose: "You are so kind..."

Jin Yao sighed: "This place has no beginning and no end, and is boundless. Leaving your spirit here will give you a companion, which is better than me being alone."

Before Lu Ye, she had taken over the bodies of many people, and each time she lived together with the other person's soul. Otherwise, it would have been too lonely to be alone for countless years.

But other people were not like her, who were protected by the power of the treasure, so after the body they had seized died, slowly she was the only one left.

"If you have no objection, then I'll start?" Jin Yao looked at Lu Ye and slightly raised the soul-calming bell in her hand.

"I don't agree!" Lu Ye looked up at her.

Jin Yao sighed: "Whether you agree or not is irrelevant..."

Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly froze.

It was because she inexplicably felt a great sense of crisis in her heart. The sense of crisis was everywhere, as if it had surrounded her, but when she turned her head and looked around, she found nothing.

"What did you do?" Jin Yao looked at Lu Ye.

That sense of crisis couldn't have come out of nowhere, but she didn't know what had happened.

Lu Ye looked at her indifferently. Although the person in front of him was a pitiful person and had been speaking softly since he appeared, since she wanted to take over his body, he naturally would not be polite.

Moreover, the Soul-Calming Bell is a treasure of the soul after all, so he certainly would not miss it.

Jin Yao couldn't see it, but at this moment, the dense and thin roots of the talent tree were moving as it pleased, wrapping Jin Yao's soul inside. The twisted and wriggling roots were like living things, waiting for Lu Ye's order before they would pounce and bite her madly.

"Whatever you want to do, it's best not to do it. I was number one in this world back then. If I hadn't wanted to, I would have taken that step long ago. In this sea of ​​souls, you are no match for me!" Jin Yao warned lightly.

Lu Ye's heart moved when he heard this.

Number one in the world?

Isn't that the equivalent of Tyrant of that generation?

Ba Qiu also did not take that step, because Ba Qiu saw some truths, so he cut off his own foundation.

What about the person in front of you?

While he was thinking about it, Jin Yao had already activated the power of the Soul-Calming Bell. The sound of the bell instantly resounded throughout the Soul Sea, and the surface of the sea seemed to be frozen.

Lu Ye's soul seemed to be carrying a mountain on its back, frozen in place.

I was amazed in my heart, it seemed that Jin Yao was not lying. Her soul had been dead for so many years, but she could still exert such power with the help of the power of the treasure. It was really amazing.

If an ordinary person faced this kind of situation, he would be helpless and would have no choice but to be possessed.

Lu Ye's mind moved slightly, and those imperceptible roots of the innate tree suddenly rushed out like a group of snakes, madly stabbing into the soul-calming bell in Jin Yao's hand.

"Hmm?" Jin Yao noticed something immediately and looked down at the Soul-Calming Bell, but could not find the problem.

This made her feel somewhat uneasy, and what made her even more helpless was that Lu Ye could actually continue to maintain the existence of his soul under the power of the Soul-Suppressing Bell.

If she wants to take over Lu Ye's body, she must first occupy the sea of ​​soul. Lu Ye's soul is here, how can she occupy it? So she must expel Lu Ye's soul first.

The cultivators she had met in the past were simply unable to resist the power of the Soul-Calming Bell, but today she actually met one who could.

"You are also one of the ten city lords?" Jin Yao suddenly realized.

Only the ten city lord-level strongmen have such a foundation, but that's all. She has not pushed the power of the Soul-Calming Bell to its limit. According to Lu Ye's current situation, she only needs to make a little more effort and she will definitely find it difficult to hold on.

Thinking of this, I no longer hesitated.

She didn't want to kill Lu Ye, she just wanted to take over his body.

But the next moment, her expression changed.

Because she discovered that the Soul-Calming Bell that had accompanied her for many years had changed, and somehow, the power of this treasure was weakening in a way that she could not understand.

It was as if something was pulled out of the soul-calming bell.

Therefore, even if she urged the power of the treasure more fiercely, it would be difficult to achieve her goal. This made her feel more and more uneasy. She frowned and looked at Lu Ye, and shouted softly: "What on earth did you do!" (End of this chapter)
