Chapter 1585: Chapter 994: Yin Soul Wood_2

According to their thoughts.

The more types of treasures they search for, the greater chance they have of receiving He Song’s rewards, which would allow them to greatly enhance their own strength using those rewards.

However.

Perhaps because treasures that can enhance the strength of Nascent Soul Puppets are simply far too rare.

After months of seclusive cultivation, He Song finally acquired only one treasure capable of enhancing the strength of a Nascent Soul Early Stage puppet.

This treasure is called Yin Soul Wood.

It is an extremely rare treasure that can be used to enhance the strength of Nascent Soul Puppets.

Yin Soul Wood, combined with numerous rare materials, can be integrated into the body of a Nascent Soul Early Stage puppet and reforged using mana formulas to grant the puppet a qualitative improvement.

Its strength can be elevated from the original Nascent Soul Early Stage to Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Moreover, the presence of Yin Soul Wood enables the puppet to carry the cultivator’s divine sense more effectively and to nourish the divine sense settled within the puppet’s core.

Over time, the divine sense continuously nourished within its core will also continuously grow.

This growth means that even without He Song injecting divine sense into its core again, he can still manipulate it effortlessly.

In essence, the existence of Yin Soul Wood effectively endows the ghost soul’s core with a self-sustaining regenerative capability for its divine sense.

Although it won’t cause it to escape He Song’s control.

It does make things much easier for He Song.

After all.

For other puppets, He Song would need to inject substantial amounts of divine sense into their cores once every few hundred years to continue their manipulation.

But now, the Yin Soul Wood He Song obtained ensures that dealing with the ghost soul would no longer be as cumbersome.

With the acquisition of the Yin Soul Wood.

He Song began to deliberate on how he could discreetly enhance the ghost soul’s strength.

After all, the ghost soul is currently being confined within the Yin Soul Sect.

And within the Yin Soul Sect resides a Nascent Soul Perfect cultivator from the Soul Locking Sect.

If He Song were to take the ghost soul away from the Yin Soul Sect.

What if the Nascent Soul Perfect cultivator from the Soul Locking Sect promptly detected it?

At that point, if He Song tried to send it back to the Yin Soul Sect, wouldn’t that be like sending a lamb into the tiger’s den?

Not only would He Song lose a puppet with strength at Nascent Soul Middle Stage, but he would also lose the Yin Soul Wood he had just obtained.

Such a loss is not something He Song is willing to bear.

Thus, after careful contemplation, He Song began preparing various rare materials to complement the Yin Soul Wood.

At the same time, he manipulated the ghost soul to set up a Nascent Soul Concealment Array on the mountain peak where it was located.

With this formation.

No one from outside could possibly know what had transpired atop this mountain.

Moreover.

The presence of this formation could also be used to test the reaction of the Nascent Soul Perfect cultivator from the Soul Locking Sect.

If the other party immediately sensed something, the ghost soul could claim that it was on the verge of a breakthrough in cultivation, which was the reason for setting up the purchased Nascent Soul Concealment Array.

In doing so, even if the other party harbored suspicions, they wouldn’t pursue the matter further.

After all, a breakthrough in cultivation for a Nascent Soul cultivator is no trivial matter.

Such a move by the ghost soul indeed seems reasonable and understandable.

In this way, He Song could discreetly take the ghost soul out of the Yin Soul Sect and bring it to another place to enhance its strength.

However, if the Nascent Soul Perfect cultivator from the Soul Locking Sect doesn’t react after the formation is set up.

That would align perfectly with He Song’s intentions.

He could then take the ghost soul away without hesitation and use the Yin Soul Wood to enhance its own strength.

Of course.

If the Nascent Soul Perfect cultivator from the Soul Locking Sect immediately reacts when the ghost soul is taken away.

That would confirm the ghost soul has been marked with some Tracking Technique.

He Song would have no choice but to abandon the plan.

Nonetheless, based on He Song’s expertise, he hasn’t noticed any signs of a Tracking Technique on the ghost soul.

Given this, the likelihood of success appears high.

Still, it remains uncertain where the matter will lead.

With such thoughts in mind.

After controlling the ghost soul to set up the Nascent Soul Concealment Array, He Song remained vigilant, closely monitoring the situation outside.

Yet, there was no disturbance from the outside world.

Neither other demonic cultivators nor the Nascent Soul Perfect cultivator from the Soul Locking Sect seemed to detect anything amiss here.

Realizing this, He Song did not hesitate.

He swiftly manipulated the ghost soul to set up a Nascent Soul Defensive Great Array and a Teleportation Array.

After completing these preparations.

With Mingyue’s arrival at the location.

The ghost soul quickly utilized the Teleportation Array to reach a concealed area.

This place was not within the Nine Abysses Ruins Array where He Song currently resided.

He Song remained cautious, worried that the ghost soul might still carry some Tracking Technique.

Thus, he decided to wait briefly, allowing Mingyue, who was now within the Yin Soul Sect, to observe the external circumstances.

Once it was certain the ghost soul’s departure had gone unnoticed by others, He Song could then bring the ghost soul into the Nine Abysses Ruins Array for a personal breakthrough.

Upon Mingyue’s observations.

The Yin Soul Sect appeared entirely ordinary and undisturbed.

Seeing this, He Song finally relaxed and promptly brought the ghost soul into the Nine Abysses Ruins Array where he resided.

Soon.

With the Yin Soul Wood and a significant amount of rare treasures integrated into the ghost soul’s body.

The ghost soul’s strength quickly ascended from Nascent Soul Early Stage to Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

As the ghost soul successfully advanced to Nascent Soul Middle Stage, its safety in the upcoming battlefield was greatly improved.

At least, as long as it doesn’t encounter a Nascent Soul Perfect cultivator.

The ghost soul would be able to traverse the battlefield with ease.

There would be no need to worry about it being destroyed by others.

Having completed these tasks.

He Song quickly summoned Mingyue back and subsequently instructed the ghost soul to return to the Yin Soul Sect.

During this round trip.

The ghost soul’s strength underwent remarkable enhancement.

He Song then dismantled and put away the Teleportation Array, the Nascent Soul Defensive Great Array, and the outermost Nascent Soul Concealment Array.

The ghost soul soon declared that it would enter seclusive cultivation, stating its intent to attempt a breakthrough to Nascent Soul Middle Stage and contribute greater power to the Holy Sect.

With the ghost soul’s declaration of seclusive cultivation.

The news of its intentions was quickly relayed to the sect master of the Yin Soul Sect and the Holy Sect cultivator stationed there.

Upon hearing this.

The sect master of the Yin Soul Sect revealed a trace of astonishment.

Yet, he didn’t seem surprised.

He knew the ghost soul harbored no resentment toward the current arrangements.

The ghost soul’s words merely corroborated this understanding.

However, the ghost soul’s words left the sect master with an even better impression of it.

He, being someone who also worked for the Holy Sect.

After hearing the ghost soul’s declaration, naturally developed a stronger sense of approval toward it.

As for the Nascent Soul Perfect cultivator from the Holy Sect.

Upon learning of the matter, he shared a sentiment similar to the Yin Soul Sect’s sect master.

From the sect master, he had heard about the ghost soul’s behavior after arriving at the Yin Soul Sect.

Moreover, the ghost soul’s immediate agreement to join the Yin Soul Sect upon their first meeting had also left him with a favorable impression.

Thus, he did not mistrust the ghost soul’s intentions this time.

Instead, he reflected on the situation with admiration.

Even a cultivator like the ghost soul, who had been temporarily captured, showed such dedication to the Holy Sect–truly, the hearts of people are usable.

The Holy Sect’s plans were bound to succeed!

As for the other Nascent Soul Demons who had yet to be sent out and had not killed any disciples of the Yin Soul Sect.

They did not receive any news.

They were entirely unaware.

That the ghost soul’s seclusion this time was merely a ruse.

It was both to stall for time and to demonstrate loyalty.

Following He Song’s reasoning.

If even the ghost soul showed such devotion to the Holy Sect.

Then surely, the people of the Holy Sect wouldn’t pressure the ghost soul too excessively, right?

Otherwise, how would the other captured Nascent Soul Demons think?

Of course, He Song understood this plan could only buy some time.
