Chapter 568: Chapter 273: Nine Radiant Immortal City, Seven Black Deities
Soul Alteration.
This Divine Soul Secret Method emerged after the fifth level Soul Tower condensed.
And this was also a part of Han Yi’s return plan.
However, before this secret method was activated, Han Yi pre-emptively used the Soul Search. These two Soul Skills were originally meant to be used together. Han Yi condensed the memories of this Foundation Establishment cultivator into a soul shadow in his Sea of Consciousness Space.
He quickly scanned the information within the soul shadow and then inserted a memory, which he had already prepared, directly into the Divine Soul of the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
This was Soul Alteration.
It meant modifying the Divine Soul, tampering with its meaning, creating something out of nothing, and inserting a memory also belonged to this category.
Next, Han Yi’s aura suddenly contracted, instantly lowering his own aura to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, changing his appearance to that of a twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old young man. This young man’s appearance was more or less similar to the fallen Foundation Establishment cultivator on the ground.
After that, he quickly withdrew his arm, flicking out a Spirit Light that woke the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
At this moment, the situation was urgent. There must be Monarch Level cultivators using their Divine Sense to scan this stronghold’s situation. Han Yi’s speed had reached its extreme.
From his appearance in this side hall, waking the Foundation Establishment cultivator by doing all this, it had only been less than three breaths.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator woke up with a start, and the top-grade magical artifact in his hand suddenly flourished, emanating a blazing light. However, he found that the side hall’s door was closed. He frowned, looked back at Han Yi, and didn’t have any suspicions, instead actually treating him like an acquaintance and instructing him.
“Fei’er, watch the inside of the hall, while I go out and take a look.”
After that.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator quickly walked to the door, opened it, and flew away using a magical artifact. Behind him, Han Yi found a place to sit down, his face still showing a trace of lingering fear.
Of course, this fearful expression was deliberately shown to the possible Divine Sense scanning of the Monarch-level cultivators. In reality, at the bottom of his heart, Han Yi had quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Success.
Just now, he had quickly browsed through the memories of this Foundation Establishment cultivator, simply understanding his life and situation, and then added the memory of his coming to take refuge in him as a relative to the cultivator’s Divine Soul.
This Foundation Establishment cultivator was named Du Ge, who was the second brother of the Du family’s head. Han Yi had made up a name for himself, Du Fei, whose identity was the son of the third brother. In terms of kinship, Du Fei called Du Ge his third uncle.
In the Tianquan World, among the seven major human clan forces, only one force existed in the form of an Immortal Country, while the other six major forces were sects or alliances.
The Purple Cloud Sect had a total of twenty-seven Immortal Cities, among which Jiu Yao City was one of these twenty-seven cities and also one of the five cities closest to the frontlines between the two clans.
Within the bounds of the scene, this stronghold mountain gate area belonged to the domain of Jiu Yao City. The Du family was a middle-ranking family within the Purple Cloud Sect, and the strongest person in the family, their ancestor, was a Middle Golden Core Stage cultivator.
Earlier, Han Yi only had time to quickly browse through Du Ge’s soul shadow memories. At this moment, as everything settled down, he finally had time to slowly check the detailed Divine Soul memory fragments.
Half an Incense Burning Time later, he finished digesting it completely and did not find any inappropriate details, which made Han Yi completely relieved.
At the same time, Du Ge returned with a grave and angry expression on his face.
“Damn it, all of the Evil Clan should die.”
Seeing the right moment, Du Fei showed his fearful expression and hesitated to ask: “Third Uncle, what happened in the end?”
Du Ge sighed and shook his head: “The demon cultivators came aggressively this time, and I don’t know what methods they used to temporarily disable the Golden Sunrise Formation. Though the formation has been restarted now, disciple and elder casualties within the stronghold are heavy. More than half of the celestial mountains housing the deacons and elders have been plundered.”
“Even… even Elder Zhu Peng has been confirmed dead.”
Han Yi shivered and exclaimed: “Elder Zhu Peng was the strongest among the strongholds, a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator. If even he perished, this stronghold must be unsafe. Third Uncle, when are we going back to Jiu Yao City?”
Without looking at his incompetent nephew, Du Ge sighed and waved his hand: “Don’t worry, after the demons caused chaos at this stronghold, the stronghold has been exposed, and there must be action from within the sect. It should happen very soon.”
Hearing this, Han Yi’s eyes flickered. Seeing his reaction, Du Ge shook his head even more, but no matter what, this was still his nephew and the person his deceased third brother entrusted to him. No matter how incompetent, Du Fei was still his own nephew.
Han Yi just stayed in this side hall, not going out. In the following days, two cultivators came to investigate, and under Du Ge’s explanation, both went on without surprise.
Seven days later, an Immortal Boat hovered over the celestial mountains of the stronghold. The Immortal Boat was there to pick up the cultivators returning to Jiu Yao City, including Du Ge and Du Fei. In addition to the two of them, there were more than seven hundred people from within the stronghold.
The person controlling the Immortal Boat was a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, with sharp eyes like a hawk. Han Yi was not nervous, but like everyone else, he showed a respectful face, walking up to the Immortal Boat under the cultivator’s gaze.
This great cultivator did not suspect anything, as he was primarily checking for any infiltrating demons, focusing on the detection of demonic qi. Although Han Yi was a Human Clan cultivator who had used the Disguise Technique to hide his aura and compressed his Golden Core Peak aura down to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation Stage, he was not recognized.
After that, the Immortal Boat set off on its journey without incident.
