Chapter 291: You Shall Be the Young Master of Devouring Ghost

Devouring Ghost was now in Xiang Shaoyun's Nether Dragon Soul Headband, making the dried up body a true corpse that had neither vitality nor a soul . Even so, this dry corpse was still a precious treasure for many cultivators .

Unfortunately, even if someone else found this place, they wouldn't be able to retrieve the corpse . The formation sealing this place was powerful enough to kill Emperors . Xiang Shaoyun withdrew the Nether Dragon Soul Headband back into his head .

In his head, Devouring Ghost's voice rang out, "Pulling me straight into your head like this, are you not afraid that I would devour you?"

"You won't," Xiang Shaoyun replied confidently .

For some reason, he had a sense of trust toward Devouring Ghost after he talked to him . It was as if even if everyone in the world turned on him, Devouring Ghost wouldn't . Devouring Ghost sank into silence when he heard the reply .

Not intending to linger around, a pair of wings sprouted from Xiang Shaoyun's back . He then soared, trying to leave . When he neared the top of the room, Devouring Ghost released his soul power and created an opening, allowing Xiang Shaoyun to fly through it .

Once again, he found himself in the pool of soul spring water . The opening closed, not allowing even a drop of soul spring water through . The instant Xiang Shaoyun was back in the soul spring water, he found his mood calming as a comfortable sensation washed over him . The same sensation that his very soul was about to fly out returned .

"Take your time and wash your soul here . This will be very beneficial for your Nether Soul Domain," said Devouring Ghost .

Xiang Shaoyun naturally would not give up on the opportunity . He immediately activated the cultivation method of the Nether Dragon Soul Curse and started absorbing the power in the soul spring water to grow his soul power .

The Nether Dragon Soul Curse was not only a curse . It was also a secret soul cultivation method . Numerous strands of energy coursed into Xiang Shaoyun's head from the soul spring water, enriching his soul . He felt extremely comfortable, as if he was taking a bath in a river during a hot summer .

The senses of his Nether Soul Domain absorbed the power of the soul spring like a sponge, slowly growing and expanding . Xiang Shaoyun's mind went completely blank as he fully immersed himself in the blissful sensation .

After an unknown amount of time passed, his soul grew considerably stronger . All the filth had been washed off his soul, and his Nether Soul Domain had expanded by at least triple in size .

Just a single strand of soul spring was enough to help a peak Transformation Realm cultivator enter the Skysoar Realm . Therefore, it was not surprising for Xiang Shaoyun, who was practically having a bath in an entire pool of soul spring water, to grow his soul several times over .

He innately possessed the Nether Soul Domain, granting him a soul stronger than others . Absorbing the Brain Devouring Bug had further grown his soul, and after cultivating his soul with the Nether Dragon Soul Curse, he had a soul power comparable to the soul power of a third-stage or fourth-stage Skysoar Realm expert .

Now that his soul had been enriched by the power of the soul spring, his soul power was the equivalent of an eighth-stage Skysoar Realm expert . With his valiant soul power and the Nether Dragon Soul Curse, he could totally capture and put any Skysoar Realm expert below the eighth-stage under his control . Of course, that was on the premise that he could catch his target by surprise .

Xiang Shaoyun stayed in the pool and only woke up when the soul spring water could no longer help his soul grow .

He jumped out of the pool and stretched . "That was refreshing . "

His strength had also grown alongside his soul power . His cultivation level had reached peak eighth-stage Transformation Realm . Although he had only advanced from the middle eighth-stage to peak eighth-stage, it had brought him to the border of the ninth-stage, cutting the time he would have taken to reach this level by two months .

His gaze then landed on the ghostbloom . Joy covered his face as he muttered, "If I swallow this ghostbloom, my soul power will probably grow even stronger!"

"Young master, don't be in too much of a rush . The ghostbloom might be a treasure, but you are too weak . Eating it now is a waste . It is better to wait until you reach late-stage Skysoar Realm," said Devouring Ghost .

Xiang Shaoyun rubbed his nose and laughed dryly before asking, "What did you just call me?"

"Young master . From now on, you shall be Devouring Ghost's young master . Although you have incredibly horrible talent, you have still obtained my master's inheritance, which can only mean that you will probably be strong in the future . Also, I will help you with all my power from now on so your growth will be even easier," said Devouring Ghost .

Xiang Shaoyun grew cheerful as he replied, "Sure, I'll be relying on you . "

Inwardly, he grumbled, This young master has horrible talent? Oh, you will know my talent one day .

He made some space in his astral cosmos sea and moved the pool of soul spring water into it together with the ghostbloom . Three wondrous sights could be seen in Xiang Shaoyun's astral cosmos sea . First was the vicious tiger gold lotus growing among the gold lunar liquid . Second was the blaze flower growing amid a pool of lava, and third was the ghostbloom growing in a pool of soul spring water .

The fact that these three treasures were growing well in Xiang Shaoyun's astral cosmos sea was something many people couldn't even imagine . Xiang Shaoyun had never imagined that the treasures he kept in his astral cosmos sea would bring about an inconceivable change to his astral cosmos sea . That was something he would come to learn in the future .

"Young master, you already have an astral cosmos sea?" asked Devouring Ghost in surprise when he saw the pool vanishing .

"Yes, I got lucky and managed to cultivate one," said Xiang Shaoyun smugly .

Astral cosmos sea was something even many Skysoar Realm experts failed to cultivate . Generally, people would only have one upon reaching the Emperor Realm . Even that was on the premise that one possessed a secret astral cosmos sea cultivation method .

"How much space do you have currently?" asked Devouring Ghost with a somewhat rushed tone .

"Not much . About 500 square meters, I guess?" Xiang Shaoyun estimated . The combination of his growth in strength and the numerous fortuitous encounters he had stumbled upon had helped his astral cosmos sea grow steadily .

"What? So big already?" Devouring Ghost was shocked .

"That's nothing," Xiang Shaoyun said nonchalantly .

Devouring Ghost offered no reply . Instead, he sank into silence . Xiang Shaoyun was about to leave the Soul Stone Mountain when his Nether Soul Domain detected a large number of people rushing toward his location .

"They actually have the balls to intrude into the territory of the ghostrunes?" Xiang Shaoyun muttered doubtfully .

But then he recalled how Devouring Ghost had killed a large number of ghostrunes, causing all the ghostrunes in the vicinity to flee, stripping the defenders from this area .

"Whatever . I already have all the treasures anyway . I don't fear them," Xiang Shaoyun told himself . He then leaped down from the peak of Soul Stone Mountain without attempting to conceal himself at all .

One person who was running in front of the group noticed him and shouted, "Haha, is this what people call enemies meeting on a narrow path? Xiang Shaoyun, today you die!"
