Gu Chen used the Star and Moon Steps to his heart's content in the starry sky. His footwork was many times faster than when he was on the pale yellow ancient star.
Ever since he entered the vast starry sky, his Tianchen Wanxiang Jue has undergone some changes and has become more powerful than before. Not only has his cultivation progressed rapidly, but the power of the secret techniques he originally mastered has also become stronger.
He guessed that there were too many celestial bodies scattered in the starry sky, and the Tianchen Wanxiang Jue was originally cultivated with the power of celestial bodies.
He was at home in the starry sky, and it was so wonderful to feel free from the constraints of the earth and ancient stars.
The two of them advanced within the Milky Way for several days, and when they saw that all the pursuers behind them were gone, they finally settled on a lifeless star.
There is no life on this star, there is desert everywhere, and the strong wind that blows is like a knife, which can kill ordinary creatures in an instant.
The two rested here, and Gu Chen ordered the insect swarm to be vigilant around the stars so that they would know immediately if an enemy approached.
"The Sky-Swallowing Demonic Insect is a terrifying evil insect that can continuously evolve by devouring other species. It is almost extinct in all major star fields in the universe. Where did you get so many of them? It seems that they have evolved several times.
It’s really enviable.”
Black Dog looked at the hundreds of millions of ferocious insects scattered around to be vigilant, and said with emotion.
Gu Chen already knew how powerful the insect swarm was, but he didn't expect that they were quite famous in the universe.
"It's a pity that you raised them too extensively. If they fall into the hands of a powerful insect cultivator, they will definitely evolve at a faster speed."
Black Dog shook his head again and said regretfully.
Gu Chen didn't respond. He took out the Demonic Ancient Soul Jade and looked at it carefully.
This thing was born by devouring a clone of the man in the hat and the flesh and blood of countless demon clans, and then destroyed an ancient star of life. Even though the whole body is full of cracks, you can still feel the overwhelming evil energy within it.
Gu Chen separated a ray of consciousness and tried to drill into it along the cracks on its surface to investigate.
As soon as his consciousness entered it, countless monster spirits seemed to roar before his eyes, destroying all his consciousness in an instant!
Gu Chen's face turned pale and he quickly cut off the connection with the spiritual consciousness. This demonic ancient soul jade was so vicious that it followed his spiritual consciousness and tried to hurt his soul.
"It seems that it is not easy to pry into the secret of this soul jade."
Gu Chen frowned. His consciousness would be completely wiped out as soon as it penetrated into the Demonic Ancient Soul Jade. How could he find out what the secrets were inside?
"This jade is originally a great evil. It has swallowed up the souls of countless creatures in the ancient demon star. How can it be easy to control it? It is already commendable that you can keep your mind clear in front of it and not be provoked by its desires."
Black Dog said, "Why don't you leave it to me to try?"
Gu Chen did not hesitate and handed the soul jade into his hands.
A strange light appeared in the black dog's eyes, and soon the pupils of both eyes disappeared, leaving only an unusually pure and powerful spiritual wave surrounding the Yaogu Soul Jade.
Gu Chen felt his mental strength and was quite shocked.
He had never been able to see through this black dog, but the tyranny of his soul now displayed was far beyond his imagination.
Judging from the opponent's previous actions, his strength is probably at the level of the Earthly Immortal Realm, but now his soul fluctuations are as unfathomable as the vast sea.
This is illogical. Generally, there is not much difference between the realms of a monk's soul and his physical body. The black dog gave him the feeling of an extremely powerful soul trapped in his mortal body.
He couldn't help but wonder what the other person had experienced. It had been traveling in the vast starry sky for most of its life, so it must have many stories.
Black Dog examined the ancient demon soul jade for a long time before his eyes returned to normal, with a solemn look on his face.
"How?" Gu Chen asked.
"There is an extremely weird soul in this ancient demon soul jade. It has been playing hide and seek with me. If I guess correctly, it is what we are looking for." Black Dog said.
Gu Chen narrowed his eyes, "Are you referring to the split soul of the man in the hat?"
The ancient demon soul jade was born after swallowing the evil man, so it is not surprising that the other party's soul was integrated into the jade.
If there is really a trace of the soul of the man in the bamboo hat in this jade, it would be of great significance to Gu Chen as long as he captures it and searches for the soul!
"Will this divided soul reveal our location?" Gu Chen thought.
He wanted to find his father who was controlled by the soul of the man in the hat, but he knew that at least before he found his father, he must not let the man in the hat be aware of his existence.
The man in the hat now may still think that he is in the ancient Canghuang star, and the ancient Canghuang star has disappeared into the universe again, so he has nothing to do with himself.
But if he knew that he had stepped into the starry sky, there was no guarantee that he would come in person.
Gu Chen knew very well how persistent he was. At least before rescuing his father, he didn't want to expose himself to avoid alerting others.
"According to your statement, the other party has divided countless souls into various star regions. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to detect the movement of the ancient demon soul jade. Think about it, if he accurately senses what happens to each divided soul,
No matter how powerful his realm is, I'm afraid he would have already gone insane."
Black Dog analyzed, "Therefore, as long as he doesn't know that the Demonic Ancient Soul Jade has fallen into your hands, he won't go out of his way to sense it, and our position will not be exposed."
"If we can capture this part of his soul and obtain valuable information through this part of his soul, even if the location is exposed, it will be worthwhile."
Black Dog's eyes were shining with excitement. For the first time in so many years, he was so close to the mastermind behind the destruction of all the ancient stars.
He wants to find out his identity and dig out his secrets!
"Can you find out that ray of soul?" Gu Chen's mind became excited. Through that ray of soul, he might be able to find the location of his father, and even find a way to defeat the man in the hat.
"It's difficult. That split soul is too cunning and has been playing hide and seek with me. Over the endless years, the ancient demon soul jade has absorbed too many demon souls. It is hidden inside and it is difficult to distinguish it."
The dog looked regretful, looked at Gu Chen, and had a bold idea.
"Why are you staring at me?" Gu Chen frowned.
"There is a way that may be able to help us find out the split soul. Although it will take some risks for you, it also has considerable benefits. I wonder if you are willing to try it?" Black Dog said expectantly.
"What can I do?"
The black dog then picked out a fragment from the demon ancient soul jade and handed it to Gu Chen.
"We can take the method of dividing and destroying it, and gradually reduce the scope of activity of the evil soul."
"There are a lot of demon souls in this fragment. If you can refine them one by one, your soul power will be greatly improved and it will also help us catch it!"
The black dog speaks with certainty.
"Why didn't you come?" Gu Chen asked.
"The power of my soul is too strong. If the soul is hidden in the fragments, knowing that I have no way out, I will most likely choose to self-destruct."
"But you are different. If it were you, that soul would be lucky. Plus he has always been interested in you, so you have a better chance of catching him!"
"This is also an opportunity for you. If you can digest the power of this ancient demon soul jade, your strength will make an astonishing leap forward!"
