Bachelor [EN]: Chapter 579

The purple light flickering in the eyes of the black wolf within the restriction was fading. Soon, a woman’s voice emerged from the wolf’s mouth.

“Blood Flame, it’s you! I thought you had already returned to the Saint Realm, but you were still lingering in the Mortal Realm.”

The woman’s voice was similar to the one Xiang Jili had encountered when she entered Mount Kunwu, but it was a bit colder.

“Greetings, Saint Ancestor. I missed my chance to return and was nearly killed by humans. If they hadn’t thought I knew the passage to the Saint Realm and tried to torture me with soul-chasing techniques, I wouldn’t have survived until now,” Goma replied respectfully.

“You were lucky! The spatial rift leading to the Spirit Garden was already destroyed after we entered the Mortal Realm. How could a passage still remain?” The black wolf’s head nodded, recalling the Great War between Humans and Demons.

‘Is this Goma, who was nearly killed by the ancient cultivators during the ancient era?’ The giant-headed monster stood beside him, listening to the conversation between Goma and the giant wolf. The woman’s voice was very calm, and there was no demonic energy at all, which was strange.

“Since you’ve come this far, you must have a plan? Let me tell you in advance, it will be difficult to save me from here. Aside from everything else, the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Chain that binds me is something you cannot handle with your cultivation. This is a treasure created in the Spirit Realm specifically to target the Saint Race.”

The black wolf’s head spoke calmly, looking at the black iron chains wrapped around its body.

“Saint Ancestor, please rest assured! I have prepared everything. With the help of this Ye cultivator, I have already gathered several demonic artifacts, so we should be able to break the chains,” Goma said, explaining his pre-planned strategy.

“If you have demonic artifacts, it might not be impossible to break the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Chain. But even so, it will be impossible right now.”

“Why is that?”

“The reason is simple. This chain is not the strongest restriction among those binding me. Look at where you are standing.”

“Where we are standing?” Goma and the giant-headed monster looked down at their feet. However, they could not find anything other than the teleportation array they had used to enter this place.

“Do you really think this is an independent space? It’s merely isolated somewhere on the eighth floor with the help of the Tongtian Lingbao’s [Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure] power. If you try to save me, the treasure will immediately send you out of here. Then, it will be difficult to enter again. Moreover, the reason I’ve been trapped here for so long is because of this Silver Moon Wolf Clan’s body.”

The black wolf’s head looked at the other head that was still asleep. The giant-headed monster and Goma could roughly guess what had happened.

“Wasn’t the Silver Moon Wolf demon’s primordial spirit [original soul] devoured by the Saint Ancestor? What happened?” Goma asked, puzzled.

“That’s why I was captured back then. The Silver Moon Wolf demon had two main primordial spirits. When one of them severely injured me and left the body, I was relieved, but the other primordial spirit used a secret technique to hide somewhere in the body. It acted up while I was fighting the Kunwu Three Old Men, and I ended up in this state.”

Finally, the black wolf’s head expressed anger.

“Two main primordial spirits? Isn’t that like having two souls in one body?” The giant-headed monster asked in surprise.

“This human cultivator knows quite a lot. This wolf demon definitely had two completely independent souls. At first, there was only one head, but after the second soul appeared, a second head immediately sprouted. It was a strange cultivation method, and for a while, I didn’t even realize I was hiding inside the second soul’s body,” the black wolf’s head muttered, still feeling absurd even now.

“Then, is that second soul still alive?”

“Of course, it’s still alive. The human cultivators captured me and unexpectedly found out that this Silver Moon Wolf demon was the queen of the Heavenly Kui Divine Wolf, one of the Seven Great Demon Kings of the Spirit Realm! She was one of the few demons who descended with a true physical body at the time. The reason I could easily take over this body was because her vitality was greatly damaged shortly after descending to the Mortal Realm.

I didn’t know about the second soul, so I ended up like this, but as time passed, I managed to demonize almost half of the body. The human cultivators couldn’t kill me along with the body, nor could they extract me from the body, so they had no choice but to seal me in this True Demon Tower.”

“So, the wolf’s second soul is still inside the body,” Goma said with a wry smile, staring at the silver-white wolf’s head with his four eyes.

“Not now, but it will return soon. You guys waking me up at this time can be considered lucky.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“The ancient cultivators sealed me in a space where spiritual energy was blocked by the Black Wind Qi, and at the same time, they separately enshrined the wolf demon’s second soul in a palace full of spiritual energy. This allowed the demon queen to return there to replenish her vitality while fighting me for control of the body. Therefore, I was bound to be pushed back by her original demonic energy. So, I had no choice but to use the Soul Fusion Great Method to resist!” The black wolf’s head explained as if it were nothing, in response to Goma’s question.

“Soul Fusion Great Method? Then, it means…”

“Yes, I have already become one with her, creating a new soul. Moreover, she is the dominant consciousness, and I am just a secondary consciousness. So, when the ancient cultivators saw that, they couldn’t expel me, nor could they kill the body of the demon who had a special status, so they sealed the entire Mount Kunwu and imprisoned it.

Over ten thousand years have passed, and the fusion has stabilized, and it has now reached a nearly perfect state.

However, a few days ago, a Nascent Soul cultivator secretly infiltrated this place and was dragged into the Illusionary Heavenly Realm, which greatly damaged the new soul’s consciousness, and the souls of me and the wolf demon were able to separate once again.

This will probably be the last time. When the wolf demon’s second soul awakens in a state full of vitality, we will fuse back into one.”

The black wolf’s head was indifferent, as if it were not its own problem. Only Goma and the giant-headed monster, who were listening, were surprised and widened their eyes.

“Saint Ancestor, is the newly born soul from the fusion a demon or a member of our Saint Race?” Goma asked after thinking for a while, with a wry smile.

“What do you think?” Unexpectedly, the black wolf’s head asked back, and Goma was at a loss for words.

“Since you have explained this to us in such detail, you must have a way to stop it, right? Please tell us what it is.”

“Oh, now that I think about it, I haven’t asked you yet. What is a human cultivator doing here helping Blood Flame? It seems like you don’t have much vitality left in your body. Do you want this Saint Ancestor to inject demonic energy into you?” The black wolf’s head asked meaningfully, its purple eyes gleaming.

“Since you already know, I won’t hide it. Even if I have to walk the demonic path forever, I don’t want to leave this world. If I’m going to die like this, what’s the point of nearly a thousand years of arduous cultivation and life-risking adventures? I won’t return to dust like this,” the giant-headed monster said, revealing his desires without hiding anything.

“You’re very honest! If you’ve made up your mind, I will inject demonic energy into you as soon as I get out of here. Let me tell you in advance, even if I inject demonic energy, there’s only a 50% chance that your cultivation will increase. Of course, the lifespan of the Saint Race far exceeds that of human cultivators, so you might be able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage on your own in the remaining time,” the black wolf’s head scanned the giant-headed monster.

“Even if it’s a one in ten chance, I will try. Please tell me what I can do to help you escape.”

“Very well. Because of the Soul Fusion Great Method, when the wolf’s soul returns to the body, it will fuse with me without any special techniques. The only way to stop it is to kill the wolf’s soul first, but that Silver Moon Wolf Clan’s soul is sleeping inside a formation made by the Kunwu Three Old Men, consisting of 81 demonic blades.

If someone with demonic energy approaches, the giant blades will attack simultaneously, and they will surely die. Blood Flame has no way to break that formation, but you are different. You haven’t learned righteous cultivation methods, nor have you learned evil or demonic techniques, so there won’t be any problems. If you solve this problem, this Saint Ancestor will take responsibility and inject demonic energy into you.”

The black wolf’s head’s voice was the same as before, but it sounded more tempting than anything to the giant-headed monster.

“Where is the wolf’s soul now?” The Ye family monster, who had been hesitating, asked through gritted teeth. Unexpectedly, he didn’t seem to have any intention of using this as leverage for another deal.

“That’s a wise choice. The other of the two teleportation arrays you saw when you entered leads to the palace where the wolf’s soul is.”

“If that’s the place, the Poison Sect guys have already entered first, but if we secretly make a move, it won’t be difficult to deal with them. I’ll go right now and kill the wolf’s soul.” The giant-headed monster stood on the teleportation array and formed a hand seal, and a light rose as he was teleported away. Now, only Goma remained near the teleportation array.

“I couldn’t ask because there was a human cultivator. How many demonic artifacts have you collected?” After the monster disappeared, the black wolf’s head revealed a sinister aura. The chains on its body instantly vibrated, emitting countless sharp lights that pierced into the wolf’s body.

However, the black wolf didn’t seem to care.

“Reporting to the Saint Ancestor, I have already found five demonic artifacts that the Saint Race left behind in the Mortal Realm.”

“Five, that might barely be enough. Start immediately! I can only use half of my magic power right now, but once I get out of here, I will be able to break the Black Wind Qi’s restriction. No matter how powerful the Tongtian Lingbao is, a treasure without an owner is just a dead object,” the black wolf’s head muttered ominously.

“Yes!” Goma replied and, without hesitation, swung his four arms in the air. At the same time, a black light flashed, and dark demonic energies appeared in the air.

There was a black mirror, a blood-red arrow, a jade lotus, and an ash-white ring. And when one of the two heads opened its mouth, a small, pitch-black bottle was ejected from within.

The five demonic artifacts appeared and circled above Goma’s head, then one of Goma’s heads let out a long howl, amplifying the demonic energy throughout his body.

And with the five demonic artifacts, he soared into the air. The restriction seemed to sense something and immediately intensified its light and began to move.

Han Li, unaware that a giant ancient Goma was trying to escape from the True Demon Tower, arrived at the entrance of the Kunwu Hall. His expression became strange when he saw the situation inside.

“Northern Aurora? How is this here…” The densely spreading silver threads of light were exactly the same as what he had seen in the Chuma Bone. This time, they were not being emitted from the rocks but from over a hundred stone pillars.

The silver rays were so dense that it was impossible to see what was behind them. At that moment, the voice of Old Man Gan came from behind Han Li.

“Cultivator Han! You must choose now whether to jump into the Northern Aurora yourself or let me take the treasure.”

Han Li, frowning, turned his gaze behind him.

Beyond the entrance of the Kunwu Hall, only about a dozen of the golden-leafed trees that had been planted on both sides remained. Old Man Gan and Yinshiyacha, among others, had almost arrived.

They were looking at this place from afar with various expressions.

The demons who already knew about the Northern Aurora, as well as others with extensive knowledge, recognized the Northern Aurora inside the Kunwu Hall.

However, most of them showed worried expressions.

It was good that the Northern Aurora was blocking Han Li from entering, but it was also difficult for them to pass through the Northern Aurora.

There was a reason why Old Man Gan was mocking Han Li as if he were watching a fire across the river.
