Chapter 232 Ascension Breeding and Harvesting Soul
A look of thought appeared in Yu Lie's eyes.

There is a dragon spirit on the recommendation letter, this thing must not be a harm to them, but should be a benefit.It is very likely that only those who participate in the assessment with a recommendation letter will have such benefits, and without a recommendation letter, they will not be able to get in touch at all.

This made Yu Lie slightly happy.

When he heard at the Xianlu altar that as long as he passed the examination, he could enter the Taoist Palace, besides being happy, he was also thinking about the recommendation letter that he spent a lot of money and favors in exchange, which might be useless.

Unexpectedly, just after waking up, the recommendation letter revealed a miracle.

He wiped the wooden sign transformed from the recommendation letter in his hand a few times, trying to see all the words and runes on it clearly.

It may be because of the low quality of his letter of recommendation, the changed wooden plaque only has the first three words on it, which are clearly recognizable, and the rest are incomplete and annihilated, leaving only a few traces.

Apart from these three words, there is no other information on the wooden sign, only three human figures faintly flashing behind the words.

Among them, behind the "lost souls" is a haggard, sallow and emaciated image of refugees and hungry people.

"Detaining the soul" is a thick human figure with a sickle in his hand. Judging from the utensils held in his hand, he looks like a farmer, but Yu Lie feels completely different, more like a soldier.

The last "undead" looked powerless, and was more haggard than the "lost soul", shaped like a skeleton, as if he had just crawled out of a coffin.

Yu Lie hesitated. Judging from the appearance alone, the three of them should be the "soul slaves" in the middle. They look more decent and have a stronger body.

If the function of the recommendation letter is to provide identity, then choosing a "aboriginal identity" with a strong body and a weapon will undoubtedly be of great help to Yu Lie's assessment.

But Yu Lie secretly thought in his heart: "Generally speaking, the later the identity, the more noble and rare it should be."

He set his sights on the last of the three identities, the "undead". Although the image of this identity is haggard and looks extremely decayed, his temperament is gloomy, completely different from that of the first "lost soul". Same.

And the word "immortality" really attracted the attention of cultivators like Yu Lie.

People in the immortal way practice and practice, isn't what they want to be immortal and happy?Just looking at the name of this undead, it is already half accomplished.

Yu Lie glanced at the fading dragon spirit around him, and realized that he didn't have much time to hesitate.

So he immediately made a decision, stretched out a finger, and with genuine energy, clicked on the three words "undead".

Buzz!

Immediately, there was a crackling sound, and a puff of black smoke burst out from the wooden sign in an instant, sweeping across his body at a speed that Yu Lie couldn't react to.

The true energy in Yu Lie's body was suppressed, and his physical body began to shrink and wither.

In the blink of an eye, he changed from a young Taoist priest with red lips and white teeth to a skeleton with sunken cheeks and a stench of corruption and exhaustion.

But the light in his eyes was full of vitality, and he didn't seem to be drained of vitality.

Yu Lie lowered his head, not panicking, but just looked at his skinny figure curiously, then staggered and shook his bones.

After the wooden sign released black air, a distorted rune was imprinted on it, and it lost most of its magic, leaving only a unique smell of decay in it.

When Yu Lie looked at him curiously, a memory popped up in his mind, making him look dazed for a while.

Immediately, through this stream of memory, Yu Lie had a better understanding of the world of the "Hideous Dragon Court" where the assessment took place.

This is a decadent, decaying, and decaying world. Everything is struggling to survive under the increasingly decaying sunlight, and hunger follows everywhere.

The whole world is falling into death step by step.

Right now, dusk is coming, and the gods are annihilated one by one, making immortality absurd.

It wasn't until a monster from beyond the sky descended from the sky with a golden-red light, devoured the residue of the gods, hid in the sun, and re-ignited the fire wheels of the sky, the decline of the world slowed down.

Affected by the monster's golden-red brilliance, golden-red flames ignited in the eyes of all living beings in this world. Their lifespans were extended, giving off a different kind of vitality, and death began to disappear.

But after the initial prosperity, the sun dimmed again, and everything panicked.

It wasn't until another king raised his throne high, called himself the son of a dragon, cut his back, gave birth to wings, and flew into the sun, only then did he ignite the sun's brilliance again.

After soaring one after another, a king threw himself into the sun, and the world was maintained for hundreds of years again, but it was getting more and more sunset.

In this regard, the last king established the Dragon Court, united with the blood of several generations of kings, and ruled the broken land.

The generation of pastoralists, raising minions, set up torches all over the world, igniting all kinds of creatures to sacrifice to the monsters in the sun, and called it "Ascending Sacrifice", replacing the previous king ascension.

Now the identity of "undead" chosen by Yu Lie is the descendant of a king in this world, similar to the nobles and landlords in the ancient world of mountains and seas.

It's just that he belongs to the kind of landless noble whose blood is thin, whose territory has been swallowed up by wind and sand, and whose torch has been extinguished.

After reading the information that emerged in his mind, a strange look suddenly appeared in Yu Lie's eyes.

As an orthodox cultivator under the command of the Dao Court, he could see the inadequacy of this "epic and tearful" legend at a glance.

This incident is obviously that when this foreign world was in decline, it was invaded by outside creatures, doves occupied the magpie's nest, and the wealth in the world was scraped away like oil.

The so-called Ascension Ceremony is obviously that the monster is forcing the local aborigines to put one after another into its mouth and be swallowed by it.

The later so-called "Dragon Court" was mostly established after eating the "big ones" among the aborigines. The monsters had nothing to eat anymore, so they simply established a system to allow all parts of the world to carry out blood sacrifices, regardless of size.

As for what this monster eats...

Yu Lie thought about it, then squinted his eyes slightly, and said to himself: "Good guy, it seems that the records in the history books are good. The source of spiritual energy is the soul of all things.

This alien monster feeds on living souls and extracts spiritual energy from them!

In other words, this foreign world has become a breeding ground for that monster. "

Through this information, Yu Lie also had a clearer understanding of the three identities of "lost soul", "soul servile", and "undead".

Among them, the former is the grassland people ruled by Longting, who provide their souls to the crops and lambs of the monsters in the sun.

The word "lost soul" described their state after their souls were extracted.

In order to search for as much aura as possible, the monsters who came to this world have infected the world and abolished death.Therefore, even the most ordinary local mortals have nothing to do with death, and will only lose part of their souls and memories once they die.

Because human beings are the spirit of all things, they all have three souls and seven souls, which means that a person can be harvested at least three times, and at most ten times, before turning into coke and never being harvested again.

But in the process, the grass people can still linger on, give birth to deformed children, give birth to freaks, their food intake has decreased, and they can provide new sources of souls as much as possible.

The second "soul arrest" is under Longting's command, and is responsible for capturing the "lost souls" and the minions of any spiritual beings with souls.

As for the "undead" chosen by Yu Lie, as an aristocrat among the aborigines, his role is not as simple as governing the place and governing the "lost souls".

After the ascension sacrifice replaced the ascension of the king, the blood of the king was responsible for presiding over the sacrifices in various places, and their role was more similar to that of a priest, the incarnation of a god.

Because the ascension sacrifices in various places are sacrificed to the monsters in the sun, but the sun is far away and out of reach. monster.

Because of the "blood of the dragon" in their bodies and the ability to taste the soul for the gods, these "undead" are closer to immortality than the "lost souls".

Even if their bodies are withered, rotten and smelly, their souls will not be exhausted, but will become more vigorous and powerful due to the increase in the number of ascension sacrifices held.

Every "undead" who has mastered the Ascension Priest can live at least 300 years.

Of course, it is not without cost, every time the soul is devoured, the soul of the undead will be polluted once, and the sanity will be lost day by day.

Back then, the "last king" who built the Dragon Court and replaced the king's ascension with the ascension priest, is now in the shape of a wild beast, with his sanity broken and his personality completely lost.

I heard that this "last king" is now being imprisoned in the underground king's tomb in Longdu. Any living creature that enters the tomb, whether it is a mouse or a living person, will be eaten up by the other party, and his behavior is as cruel as rotten. wild dogs.

In the valley, after Yu Lie sorted out the information that popped up in his head, he suddenly let out a tsk-tsk sound.

Ordinary Taoists might not understand the real function of this "undead" after receiving these news, but Yu Lie has seen the breakthrough of Heishui Guanzhu and She Shuangbai, so he knows it very well.

The ancients said that incense is poisonous.

Just eating the incense and belief mixed with the remnants of living beings can pollute the body of the gods, let alone directly eating the three souls and seven souls of living beings.

This undead is the tool to filter out the dross in the soul for the monster in the sun, and will bear the disadvantages of eating the soul as much as possible, and then let the monster devour the cleaner soul.

As for why there is no need for "undead" to filter before the Dragon Court is established, that is because every ascended king is the biggest soul filter and container in the world.

And these existences that can delay the decline of the world and save the world are called "kings" instead of "sages".

It is also because except for the last step of the ascension process, they are sacrificing themselves, and all the rest of the process are these people walking in the world, bringing blood and fire, killing and destruction, and eliminating all the things that the king thinks should not be. Living beings who exist in the world and waste their resources.

In Yu Lie's view, this process is obviously more like a "harvest" than a "conquest" by the king.

And this point is precisely related to the task of Yu Lie's assessment.

He raised his haggard arm and took a look, took out a mirror from his sleeve, stared at his eyes that did not emit golden red flames, and sighed softly:
"Pity."

In the ferocious Dragon Court world, there is no golden-red flame in the eyes, which means that either the soul has been harvested by someone, or it has been harvested many times.

Either it was born with the backlash of the Ascension Priest, unable to devour the soul, and it was a heretical demon.

As a visitor from another world, Yu Lie was not a creature of this world, and he was participating in the Dao Palace assessment. Naturally, it was impossible for the Dao Palace to allow them to harvest and devour souls at will, so as not to fall into evil ways.

Therefore, the Taoist talisman and dragon energy directly extinguished the "dragon flame" in their eyes, making them unable to eat their souls.

And once they devour their souls, they will be severely recorded in their Taoist scriptures, and they will never be hired by the Taoist Palace.

However, although it is impossible to harvest the souls of ordinary creatures in this world, the Taoists still have another opportunity, and that is to harvest the souls that have been "harvested"!

That is, to imprison the crazy souls of the native undead in their heads, use them as medicine bottles, and plunder the "souls of dragon feast" that they want to sacrifice to the monsters.

And beheading the undead natives and extinguishing the torches everywhere is also the task of this Dao Palace assessment!
The specific task requirements and number are not restricted, and there is no upper limit, the more the better.The souls of the Dragon Food that the Taoists plundered could be exchanged for the same amount of spirit stones after the assessment.

Suddenly.

In the unknown valley, the dragon aura surrounding the rest disappeared, and he had already stepped into this foreign world thoroughly, and the light around him was dim.

However, in the bronze mirror, his eyes were shining brightly, as if a different kind of flame had been ignited.

This flame is not the "dragon flame" in the mouth of the aborigines, but a kind of lust called greed.

Yu Lie was not the only one like this, more than 4 Taoists who came to the foreign world, after the initial panic, knew a little about the situation in this world, and their eyes showed greed.

In the ancient way of immortality, one eats wind and drinks dew; in today's way of immortality, one eats ten thousand meals.

Yu Lie and the others, as Taoists after the Great Destruction of the Mountain and Sea Realms, bow down for a ray of spiritual energy every day, but now they have encountered such a "spirit of dragon food" that is directly equivalent to a spiritual stone, it is like a hungry mouse seeing it. The lamp oil is average, and the eyes are green.

What's more, this place is a different world, so they can be unscrupulous, and this trip is just an assessment, and they have the support of the Dao Palace behind them, so they won't die much!
Jie Jie!

Stern laughter suddenly resounded in this broken world.

Chance, no small chance!

The figures descending to the ground one after another, with excited eyes, immediately walked out of the hiding place, and rushed towards the golden and red torches scattered all over the place.

The sun is falling, and the setting sun is like blood, taking care of visitors.
