Mortal Seeking Immortal

The Demon Eye said: "I have a way to force this body-building technique to start working, but this method will consume a lot of my soul power. After using this method, if I can't get soul nourishment, I will fall into a deep sleep until I die."

"If the master can escape this time, don't forget to wake me up."

Ye Zhou knew that the Demon Eye did all this for itself. If Ye Zhou was occupied by the demon soul, the Demon Eye parasitic in Ye Zhou's body would be swallowed by the demon soul. Therefore, even if it risked death, the Demon Eye decided to try to help Ye Zhou escape.

Ye Zhou naturally promised the Demon Eye that he would nourish it with soul in the future to help it recover its soul power.

After getting Ye Zhou's promise, the Demon Eye said, "Master, although the demon soul's strength has declined, its consciousness is still very strong, and this bronze mirror is its life magic weapon. Any movement of yours may be sensed by it."

"In order to prevent it from noticing that you have broken free from the shackles of the bronze mirror, I will activate the technique before it takes action."

After the Demon Eye said this, it disappeared without waiting for Ye Zhou's reply, fearing that it would be discovered by the phantom.

After an unknown amount of time, the formation arranged by the phantom finally took shape. It looked at Ye Zhou with satisfaction and said, "Human cultivator, although you have practiced the body-building technique, your body is still too weak to carry my demon soul. Fortunately, I know this Qijing Demon Formation. With the protection of this formation, my demon soul can be perfectly integrated with your body."

The phantom waved his hand, and the bronze mirror suspended above Ye Zhou's head moved, and the yellow light emitted carried Ye Zhou to the Qijing Demon Formation.

When Ye Zhou entered the formation, the Qijing Huayao formation began to operate with a humming sound.

At this moment, everything was ready, just waiting for the fusion. The shadow walked into the formation with a grim smile, looking down at Ye Zhou from a high position: "Boy, I will accept your flesh body with pleasure."

Ye Zhou's face turned pale when he heard this, and he looked desperate.

Seeing this, the shadow showed a smug look in his eyes, and his spirit relaxed a little.

The shadow leaned down, and one arm seemed to probe into Ye Zhou's Dantian.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Ye Zhou only felt a cold breath rushing into his Dantian, freezing Ye Zhou's lips a little white. Ye Zhou lowered his eyes and looked down, only to see that the shadow was very careful, and it took more than ten breaths to just put his forearm into Ye Zhou's Dantian.

Ye Zhou's eyes condensed, and he continued to endure the cold air in his Dantian.

Another half a minute passed in a flash, and the two arms of the phantom had completely entered Ye Zhou's Dantian. Seeing that there was no abnormality in Ye Zhou's body, the phantom was relieved. The demon soul surged, and the remaining demon soul shrank by half.

Ye Zhou knew that the phantom could not help it.

Sure enough, the next moment, the remaining demon soul of the phantom began to drill into Ye Zhou's Dantian at a rapid speed. Ye Zhou's mind moved, and a faint golden light emanated from his skin. At the same time, a scorching high temperature was released from Ye Zhou's body.

Countless black flames flowed from Ye Zhou's meridians into Ye Zhou's Dantian, surrounding the demon soul that had drilled into Ye Zhou's Dantian.

The black flames were like maggots attached to the bones the moment they met the demon soul, and began to spread to the demon soul. No matter how the demon soul struggled, it could not extinguish the black flames that spread to its body.

"What is this thing in your body?! Damn human cultivator! I will peel off your skin and pull out your tendons, pull out your soul, and torture you every day!"

The phantom was severely injured, and let out a shrill scream, and hurriedly wanted to withdraw from Ye Zhou's Dantian, but how could Ye Zhou let it do so?

A black flame burst out from Ye Zhou's body and began to burn fiercely. In an instant, Ye Zhou became a fire man, and the black flame began to spread to the demon soul exposed outside the phantom.

The phantom saw that the situation was not right, and reluctantly split the demon soul into two. The remaining half of the demon soul that was not stained by the black flame hurriedly retreated.

Looking at the rapidly retreating phantom, Ye Zhou's eyes showed a trace of regret.

At this moment, the phantom's body shrank suddenly, only as tall as an adult man, and the demon soul became much lighter, as if it had suffered a severe injury. The breath of the whole body was very unstable, and the cultivation level also dropped to the early stage of Dan formation.

Without the support of demonic power, the bronze mirror suspended above Ye Zhou's head also lost its luster at this moment, and fell to the ground with a clang, just like an ordinary mirror.

The shadow retreated to the corner of the stone room, glanced at the bronze mirror that fell to the ground, looked at Ye Zhou deeply and said: "This Huangquan mirror is one of my life magic weapons. Even if it has suffered a serious blow, it is not something that you, a mere foundation-building cultivator, can break free of!"

"Who are you?! Did the old thief Xu Yangzi send you here to plot against me?!"

The shadow said this, shook his head and murmured: "No, Xu Yangzi was eaten by me back then, who sent you?"

When Ye Zhou heard this, the figure standing in the clouds that he saw in the stone pillar flashed in his mind again. His intuition told him that the owner of that figure was Xu Yangzi mentioned by the shadow.

Unexpectedly, he fell into the mouth of the shadow in the end, and Ye Zhou sighed slightly in his heart.

Ye Zhou did not want to talk to the phantom. He flashed and left only a black afterimage. Seeing this, the phantom was horrified and dodged to the side, saying: "Human cultivator, as long as you let me go today, I swear that I will never trouble you in the future, and I will also give you a few magic weapons."

"With my magic weapons protecting your body, ordinary Jindan cultivators cannot break your defense."

Ye Zhou paused after hearing this, and looked at the phantom for a while. His eyes were fixed on the empty wrist of the phantom. Ye Zhou snorted coldly and said, "Magic weapon? I don't see any magic weapon on you. Are you kidding me?"

The black demon fire on Ye Zhou's body seemed to feel the anger in Ye Zhou's heart, and it rose several feet higher. A terrifying high temperature instantly swept the whole stone room.

The phantom looked at the black demon fire on Ye Zhou with fear, and said hurriedly: "Human cultivator, we can talk about it. The Yellow Spring Mirror and the string of blue crystal jade beads are yours. In addition, as long as you agree to let me go, I will give you this storage ring. This storage ring contains treasures that I have accumulated for thousands of years."

It turned out that the string of beads that the phantom took out to seal the exit of the pool was called blue crystal jade beads.

Seeing the shadow carefully take out a storage ring from his arms, Ye Zhou stopped where he was, as if thinking. Seeing this, the shadow felt relieved, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes, but this fierce light quickly disappeared.

The shadow looked at Ye Zhou expectantly.

After a moment, Ye Zhou looked at the shadow cautiously and said, "I can let you go, but you have to give me the storage ring first."
