Chapter 1173: Soul Containment
Translator:Henyee TranslationsEditor:Henyee Translations
To arrive at the Divine Imperial Universe from the Prison of Wind, Lu Li had to go down the Prison of Ice and then to the Prison of Gold, from he would hurry to the Divine Imperial Universe and the Region of Flowers. Then, he could come to the Divine Imperial Universe.
If Lu Li did not have the Wicked Bead or that it could not be times faster than the Immortals body, Lu Li, when flying on his own, would not arrive in probably over a year.
Lu Li arrived at the Divine Imperial Universe in half a month since the Wicked Bead had been flying at top speed. Upon entering the Divine Imperial Universe, Lu Li realized that the spiritual connection had become quite weak. When he was arriving at the Divine Imperial City, the spiritual connection to the Immortals body was faint.
Lu Lis return caught the attention of many people. When he left, he mentioned that he was searching for some critical material and he would be able to bring down the Divine Imperial City afterward.
It had been four months since Lu Li left. He must have located the materials he required.
The warriors here had been attacking for four months. Due to the Deaf Taoist and Blazing Huos supervision, no other warrior dared to leave. However, since they had been making efforts for a long time, the warriors were exhausted, physically and psychologically. Some would take a rest every now and then.
Blazing Huo and the Deaf Taoist did not execute anyone randomly. Lu Li told them that they could do as they saw fit, not that they could kill at will. Execution could scare the warriors away, which would only be worse.
Buzzing!
Lu Li dashed out from the Wicked Bead. He ignored the Deaf Taoist and Blazing Huo and only stared at the Immortals body.
The Immortals body was still striking the Divine Imperial City. It had been a long time and yet the Divine Imperial City did not change at all. Lu Li threw a glance at the Divine Imperial City and then focused his mind on the Immortals body, staring at the Bloodvine tattoo on his neck.
The tattoo was glowing in red faintly. Though Lu Li was very close to the Immortals body, the former felt the spiritual connection with the Immortals body was barely there and could be gone any second now!
Lu Li brought the Bloodvine into control at the Waters Region. As a matter of fact, it was not really controlled. The Bloodvine was brought to rein by the Immortals body. In the end, the Bloodvine became a shadow and entered the Immortals body and thereafter, the Immortals bodys neck had a tattoo in the shape of the Bloodvine.
Back then, Lu Li was worried that the Bloodvine would reverse the situation and occupy the Immortals body. Later, nothing happened and the matter slipped Lu Lis mind. At that time, Lu Li heard that the Bloodvine was highly intelligent and it was a plant with a soul. Now, something was happening
What to do?
Many ideas spread to Lu Lis mind. He could not lose the Immortals body, which belonged to the Zi Emperor. If an intelligent plant were to seize the Immortals body, Lu Li would feel indebted to Emperor Zi. In addition, that could incur hidden danger for the nine universes. In the future, if the Bloodvine put on a killing spree by controlling the Immortals body, countless civilians would die an unnatural death, and Lu Li would be the one to be blamed
I will have to put the Immortals body into the Wicked Bead now!
Lu Li thought about it and flew over in the Wicked Bead. He gave a mental command for the Immortals body to stop and not to resist the pull of the Wicked Bead.
The Wicked Bead glowed. It was true that the spiritual connection with the Immortals body, he would still listen to Lu Li at the moment. The Immortals body stopped and did not fight back when he was taken into the inner hall of the Wicked Bead.
Keep going!
Lu Li looked around. He then said to Blazing Huo and the Deaf Taoist, Come with me.
With that said, Lu Li paid no heed to the question from Lu Renhuang and the others. Together with Blazing Huo and the Deaf Taoist, Lu Li went to the outer hall of the Wicked Bead. Those two had been living for long years. They were well-informed. Maybe, they could think of a solution.
Lu Li had been thinking but failed to arrive at any solution. The Immortals body was too strong and could not be destroyed. Since the Bloodvine was inside the Immortals body, Lu Li did not know what to do.
What is going on? Lord!
The Deaf Taoist and Blazing Huo asked Lu Li in confusion after they were taken in.
Pointing at the Immortals body, Lu Li said, This Immortals body is my puppet. I encountered a Bloodvine in the Waters Region. When I was trying to attack at the Bloodvine, it became a shadow and merged into the Immortals body. Look at the tattoo. That is the Bloodvine. Now, the spiritual connection between me and the Immortals body is weakening and can be gone at any minute now. The Bloodvine may be reversing the situation and trying to take over the Immortals body. Think of a way to stop the Bloodvine. If the Bloodvine took control of the Immortals body, things could go horribly wrong.
What
Blazing Huo blinked. He had never heard of anything like this before. He asked after a moment of thought, Cant the Immortals body be destroyed or sealed?
Lu Li darted a glance at Blazing Huo. What do you think? Burn the Immortals body with the Corpse Candle and see if you can destroy the Immortals body. The Immortals body is strong. It once was at least a super mighty warrior in the Divinity.
Eh!
Blazing Huo was shocked. He frowned as he kept thinking. The Deaf Taoist had been quiet as he checked the Immortals body with psychic power. After a while, he said, There can be only two options. Either we try to destroy or seal off the Immortals body or we bring the Bloodvine under control.
Lu Li was somewhat satisfied with the Deaf Taoists answer. The former asked, How do we do that? Do you have any ideas?
If there were no other way, Lu Li would have to destroy the Immortals body. Otherwise, when the Bloodvine took control of the Immortals body and blasted around the Wicked Bead, the Wicked Beads energy could run out and by then, Lu Li would have to let out the Immortals body.
Once that happened, the consequences would be unimaginable. Maybe civilians of the Divine Imperial Universe would be torn into pieces by the Immortals body.
Because the Bloodvine was violent and loathed human beings. When Lu Li first encountered the Bloodvine in the Waters Region, the Bloodvine was fighting against human beings.
After a moment, the Deaf Taoist said, Find someone that has skills of soul controlling or such Inhibition Formation and take control of the soul of the Bloodvine directly. I think the Bloodvine is without a body and only has a soul. The Bloodvine is trying to have a body which is why the Bloodvine is taking control of the Immortals body.
Formations to bring souls under control?
Blazing Huo thought of something. Isnt Brother Three of the Chen Family skilled in this? He can bring spectres under control!
Is he out there? Lu Li felt cheered up. Blazing Huo nodded yes. The two went out together. Blazing Huo shouted to an old warrior in the distance, Brother Three of the Chen Family, come here for a bit.
Brother Three of the Chen Family was Chen Tianxians cousin. Hearing he was called, he hurried over and said with a fawning smile, Lord Lu, Lord Huo, what do you need?
I will tell you in a moment!
Lu Li sent Brother Three of the Chen Family into the Wicked Bead. Pointing at the Immortals body, Lu Li said, There is a Bloodvine inside the Immortals body. Now, the Bloodvine is trying to possess the Immortals body. Find a way to bring the shadow under control.
A shadow? Okay!
Brother Three of the Chen Family did not waste any time. He took out some formation stones at once while the others waited on the side.
Brother Three of the Chen Family moved fast. In an hour, a formation had come into being. From the formation rose a white shield that enveloped the Immortals body. There was even some white flames as well.
Well, that is something!
Lu Li nodded. Those white flames seemed horrifying and yet those here did not feel any rise in temperature. Those must be special flames designed to deal with phantoms and shadows.
Buzzing~
Not long afterward, the Bloodvine on the neck of the Immortals body began to glow and was twitching. Lu Lis eyes were glowing. Was Brother Three of the Chen Familys method working?
