Chapter 422 – Boundary Alteration

Chapter 422 – Boundary Alteration
After Zhan Luo failed to cheat the soul blood, she used the means of refining Cheng family members’ Yuan Shen into their own bodies, which was almost like an evil cultivator, to ensure that she got 100% of the soul blood.

However, after she had done all she could, in the end, it was still a bad move.

“Losing at the hands of a Jindan Realist, I am not wronged. But so what if you know the method to break the boundary, Cheng Qingjia’s seven souls have already been refined by me and assimilated into one with my Yuan Shen, you’ll never want to get the soul blood!”

Zhan Luo gradually regained her composure, “Anyway, you’re not a member of the Cheng Family, you’re just a guest secretary. What the Cheng Family can give you, I can give you more.

As long as you let me live, I’m willing to cooperate on my own accord. After I absorb Cheng Qingjia’s residual soul and break the boundary, the treasures inside will be yours, how about that?”

Xu Chuniang was coldly concerned in her heart, Zhan Luo really was willing to do anything to achieve her goal.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t of such a nature, the treasures were certainly good, but in the end, they were just external objects, she had her own steadfastness.

With a wave of her hand, she sealed Zhan Luo once again and began to think hard about the solution.

The drop of soul blood that Cheng Shangling had given her had run out, and even if it didn’t, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be enough to break the boundary open.

Trying to separate the intermingled Yuan Shen was not an easy task.

If one was not careful, one’s Yuan Shen would be damaged, or one’s soul would be scattered.

Perhaps one should leave this secret realm first, and then find a way to strip Cheng Qingjia’s seven spirits from Zhan Luo’s Yuan Shen.

As for the boundary here, it was a bit of a shame to miss it though.

But strictly speaking, this boundary was originally set up by the Cheng Family’s ancestor, and without the Cheng Family’s soul blood, if she were to forcefully break it open, she would only destroy what was inside along with it.

Cheng Qingjia’s remnant soul floated over, with a look of wanting to speak.

The two of them hadn’t avoided him when they spoke just now.

He had learned that there was a party of heavy treasures inside the boundary that his Cheng family ancestor had left behind, and that it was necessary to use his soul blood in order to break the boundary.

“Why don’t I try to see if I can condense my soul blood with the power of my three souls?”

“Not good. Having lost the seven souls, your Yuan Shen is not complete, I’m only afraid that you won’t be able to condense the soul blood.”

Cheng Qingjia was silent, but secretly began to condense, perhaps it would work?

His residual soul began to vaporize, and then it trembled slightly.

Xu Chuniang sensed his demeanor and attempted to stop it, yet her divine sense passed through the near-voided residual soul.

“What are you doing, stop it!”

“It’s already started, it can’t be stopped. Don’t worry, it’s just a drop of soul blood, you can’t die. I also want to see the treasure that that ancestor once possessed back then.”

Cheng Qingjia’s remnant soul continued to tremble, and it actually did condense a drop of colorless soul blood.

Xu Chuniang did not agree with him, without the seven souls, Cheng Qingjia’s Yuan Shen would only be considered a remnant soul.

Without the seven spirits, Cheng Qingjia’s Yuan Shen could only be regarded as a residual soul. Can the soul blood condensed with the power of a residual soul really break through the boundary?
After condensing the soul blood, Cheng Qingjia’s residual soul was so weak that it seemed like a gust of wind could blow it away.

However, his residual soul was quite energized, carefully dragging and lifting the soul blood above the boundary.

The moment the colorless soul blood touched the boundary, it was like water dripping into a lake, causing ripples.

“There’s a trick! The power of the boundary seems to be declining.”

Xu Chuniang carefully surveyed it for a while, but her expression was grave.

While the soul blood was dissolving the boundary, it was rapidly consuming itself, and at this rate, it was only feared that if the soul blood was consumed, it would not be enough to open the boundary.

Cheng Qingjia obviously saw this change as well, a struggle flashed within him, and then he made a decision without hesitation, preparing to continue condensing the soul blood.

However, without waiting for him to move again, a boundary landed on his body, a confinement, and a protection.

“Fellow Daoist Cheng, what are you trying to do again?” Cheng Qingjia’s remnant soul breathed out a hint of seriousness, pleading.

“I am already half dead, my Yuan Shen has nothing to rely on, just like a rootless tree, my soul power will eventually run out. It would be better for me to use my last strength to break through this boundary.

After the boundary is broken, the treasures inside will belong to you, but if you can, please ask Fellow Daoist Xu to help collect my ancestor’s belongings and send them back to the Cheng family.”

Xu Chuniang watched as the soul blood above the boundary was depleted and the ripples faded, her expression unmoved.

“The object is dead, and it’s worth taking a life? You don’t want to take the body, or you can seek the method of ghost cultivation and return to the path of immortality.”

“Fellow Daoist Xu speaks lightly, the method of ghost cultivation is few and far between, how can I easily seek it ……”

Cheng Qingjia’s words had not yet finished, from within the boundary, suddenly came out several “bang bang” sounds.

It was like something was trying to break through the boundary from the inside.

Xu Chuniang’s face changed slightly, taking in the remnants of Cheng Qingjia’s soul, dodging back a few feet away, staring intently at the boundary at the back, which was transmitting strange movements.

Cheng Qingjia’s residual soul also had some nervousness, within this boundary is the ancestor’s burial place, how could there be such a strange change in a good cause?

“Bang, bang!”

Under this impact, the boundary finally couldn’t withstand it and ruptured.

At the same time, a cold and strong aura that could not be denied invaded the entire cave, bringing with it an eerie chill.

Xu Chuniang trembled, her body shaking uncontrollably.

She subconsciously went to look at Cheng Qingjia’s residual soul in her hand, only to find that he was unharmed, completely unaffected by the cold chill.

However, at this moment, the cold aura struck fiercely towards her.

It was extremely fast and arrived almost instantly.

Xu Chuniang was struck before she even had time to defend herself, her body violently flying backwards.

The cold aura struck her with a slight curl at the same time, swirling Cheng Qingjia’s Yuan Shen away and forcing it towards Xu Chunniang on the ground once again.

“No, don’t!”

Subconsciously, Cheng Qingjia transmitted a strong divine soul fluctuation, her residual soul shaking more than once.

Xu Chuniang could all feel it, the gloomy coldness that came spreading out, but this gloomy aura, however, suddenly stopped when it was about to hit her.

The cold aura slowly condensed into a shadow of a shadowy soul in the air, and immediately, a stagnant, slightly feminine voice sounded unhappily.

“She, who hurt your life, why, should she be protected?”

Cheng Qingjia’s remnant soul was relieved to see that the shadowy soul did not attack again.

When this gloomy aura first appeared, he felt the familiar aura from it and guessed that it might be related to his ancestor, recognizing his identity as a Cheng family member.

And its next protective move towards him also confirmed his guess.

Hearing this voice, Cheng Qingjia’s residual soul said without thinking, “She didn’t harm me, the one who harmed me was someone else, if she hadn’t saved me, I would have long since scattered my soul right now.”

The shadowy soul was a bit surprised, “Oh? So that’s how it is, I almost hurt my little friend by mistake, sorry.”

Xu Chuniang touched her nose, quite a bit speechless, what an unmitigated disaster.

Fortunately, her injuries were not serious, the Meteoric Heart Flame moved with her heart, and after traveling around her body, she had already dissolved the Yin Cold Qi in her chest.

She was a little curious and shot a glance at the shadowy soul, didn’t she say that the Cheng family ancestor had died a thousand years ago, then what exactly is this shadowy soul?
