352: Chapter 297 352: Chapter 297 The black mist, as if feeling the call of kin, rushed toward the Hell Palace only to find that it had suddenly disappeared.
From the aura emitted by the Hell Palace just moments before, it detected the presence of Jiang Tang.
The black mist ceased its attack and submissively allowed itself to be absorbed by Jiang Tang’s avatar.
Within a single breath’s time, Jiang Tang’s avatar had absorbed all the mist, and the feedback from the avatar confirmed that the black mist was indeed a remnant soul of an ancient power.
The emergence of the Hell Palace was due to a remnant soul of an ancient being that had fallen in the Mortal World.
Separated by millions of years, the Hell Palace appeared time and time again, casting spells to awaken this sliver of the ancient being’s soul.
Before the ancient power started practicing demon art, his nature was kind.
This remnant soul that awoke in the Mortal World, tracking and attacking people, was just an act of consciousness seeking the Hell Palace.
With the feedback from his avatar, Jiang Tang roughly understood that this remnant soul posed no threat to him at the moment.
Was it leading him into the Hell Palace, or into his own space?
Jiang Tang was quite afraid that if this remnant soul grew stronger, it would control the Hell Palace.
He was even more fearful that if the remnant soul entered his own body, it might control him in the future.
That absolutely could not happen, nor could he allow this remnant soul to enter the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space.
How could he secure this remnant soul without harming his own body?
The only method Jiang Tang had at the moment was to have his avatar absorb the soul, seizing the consciousness within it.
He couldn’t let it enter the Hell Palace and become a threat to him.
Jiang Tang instructed his avatar, and using the strongest Divine Sense within his body, the avatar began to absorb the wisps of the remnant soul.
The mist seemed to have found a sense of belonging.
It did not resist the avatar’s absorption, allowing Jiang Tang’s little avatar to take it in willingly.
The mist in the air gradually dissipated, and the sun emerged.
But as the avatar absorbed the mist and the mist began to attempt possession, it suddenly became like a reawakened memory and started to resist Jiang Tang’s avatar.
Jiang Tang only felt that his mind was in pain, as the avatar inside his mind was struggling against the wisps of the remnant soul.
After all, this remnant soul belonged to an ancient Immortal, and despite million years passed with only a trace of power left, it posed a strong threat to the avatar with only Great Perfection of Spirit Mansion.
A hint of residual memory in his mind reminded him that he was an Immortal, one who had already achieved Ascension, and certainly not the little figure before him.
How could his body only possess such feeble strength?
That couldn’t possibly be him.
Then where was his body?
He was an Immortal; his body must also be mighty and could not possibly be in the Mortal World.
The remnant soul had forgotten the memories of the battle and only remembered that she was an ascended Fairy, and she could not be the little figure with such weak cultivation before her.
The remnant soul attempted to possess the little figure; at this moment, it needed a body to find and return to its original Immortal Body.
Jiang Tang, with a headache, clutched his head, and those on the flying carriage were deeply concerned for him.
“Jiang Tang, what’s wrong with you?
What happened?”
The girls’ caring words, they had just seen Jiang Tang so formidable, how could he be suffering from a headache now?
Definitely, something had changed, and amidst the girls’ concern, and a concerned look from a man, Jiang Tang had no time to chat with them.
Jiang Tang felt a sharp pain in his mind; he sensed the struggle between the remnant soul and the little figure.
Such a powerful remnant soul meant he needed to boost the little figure’s combat strength.
Immediately, he brought forth some Nourishing Soul Pills from his space, eating more than a dozen, as one would candy beans.
The others saw Jiang Tang consuming Supreme Elixirs like candy beans, and their hearts ached…
After eating a handful of Pills, the little figure in Jiang Tang’s mind received a robust boost of energy, causing his Soul Power to surge wildly and enhancing his combat capabilities, aggressively battling the mighty remnant soul.
“Little figure, you can’t kill me; I have a powerful Immortal Body.
You vile mortal, how dare you learn my martial arts?”
The remnant soul could sense that the little figure before it had just used Star-absorbing Spell, its very own spell.
In the past, it seemed that with this spell, it had ascended.
Because this body possessed that kind of spell, he was unrivaled in the Cultivation World.
For the sake of Ascension, he had done many things, becoming a formidable figure.
Furthermore, he became the overlord of the Cultivation World.
To attain the energy for Dao Ascension, he continuously absorbed the mana of human bodies, hurting many and maintaining many women as Cauldrons.
One could say he was a devil in the Cultivation World.
This history dated back ten thousand years when, after his Ascension and having refined his Immortal Body, he crafted a Hell Palace, where he planted some Immortal Herbs.
He also raised many Demonic Beasts and spectres in there, all as a supply for his spells.
Having become an Immortal, he wanted to dominate the heavens, again using such spells to absorb Immortal Qi from other Immortals.
Such actions earned him the animosity of many and even led many powerful Immortals to attempt to eradicate the evil, besieging him.
He wouldn’t die so easily.
Clinging to his tremendous spell, he absorbed many people’s mana.
His domineering spell attracted the Demon Race, Demon Cultivators, and various Cultivators with impure hearts, all desiring to acquire his technique.
Even more individuals from the race of Man, Demons, Demon Cultivators, and other Cultivators joined forces against him.
