Chapter 006: Gained a Huge Advantage_1

Thinking of the Soul-capturing Ancestor, Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but flash a look of horror in his eyes.

Suddenly, Ye Xiaofei remembered that just when he was about to be devoured and possessed by the Soul-capturing Ancestor, a golden flame seemed to burst from the depths of his soul, instantly devouring the Ancestor's primordial spirit.

Afterward, the primordial spirit of the Soul-capturing Ancestor instantly disintegrated and merged into Ye Xiaofei's weakened soul, allowing Ye Xiaofei to fully absorb the Ancestor's memories.

At that time, Ye Xiaofei clearly remembered that the Soul-capturing Ancestor seemed to call that golden flame "Celestial Fire."

From the memories he fused with the Soul-capturing Ancestor, Ye Xiaofei knew that the Ancestor was an expert at the Mahayana stage who had survived three heavenly tribulations.

As for the blood-colored pearl he had accidentally consumed, it was actually the Demonic Path Soul-Capturing Bead, a treasure stolen by the Soul-capturing Ancestor from a declining Truth Cultivation sect called the Demon Soul Sect.

Later, it was indeed with this Demonic Path treasure that the Soul-capturing Ancestor built his notorious reputation.

However, having offended a top force in the Truth Cultivation World, he was eventually killed by a Seven Calamities Rogue Immortal of the opposing side.

Had it not been for the Soul-capturing Ancestor's self-detonation of his demonic body, which severely injured his opponent and concealed his primordial spirit within the Soul-capturing Magic Pearl, this pitiful fellow would have died under the Rogue Immortal's sword long ago.

This Celestial Fire that suddenly burst from the depths of his soul was able to instill despair and fear even in the Soul-capturing Ancestor at the Mahayana stage, clearly indicating it was an existence that defied the heavens.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaofei sighed with lingering fear.

While feeling fortunate that the Celestial Fire had saved his life, Ye Xiaofei was also confused as to why such a fire existed deep within his soul.

If he hadn't accidentally consumed the Soul-capturing Magic Pearl, he might never have known about the terrifying Celestial Fire hidden in the depths of his soul.

Soul-capturing Magic Pearl, Soul-capturing Ancestor, Truth Cultivation World, Celestial Fire...

Wait, all of this was undoubtedly unveiling a mysterious veil for Ye Xiaofei in an instant.

Had it not been for Ye Xiaofei's complete fusion with the Soul-capturing Ancestor's memories, he might have been unable to accept this reality for a while.

However, thinking that in the end, everything about the Soul-capturing Ancestor, including the Soul-capturing Magic Pearl, had been cheaply obtained by him, Ye Xiaofei felt a surge of excitement.

Imagining that he would become a Truth Cultivator from then on, Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but get excited.

"Damn it, daring to try and possess Lord, you really don't know whether to live or die!"

Thinking this, Ye Xiaofei, according to the memories left by the Soul-capturing Ancestor, closed his eyes and soon sensed the presence of the Soul-capturing Magic Pearl.

"Soul-capturing Magic Pearl... show yourself..."

As Ye Xiaofei's mind willed it, the Soul-capturing Magic Pearl that had merged into his Inner Realm materialized before his eyes.

Looking at the Soul-capturing Magic Pearl floating before him, emitting a sinister blood light, Ye Xiaofei's eyes couldn't help but shine with fervent brilliance.

However, now was not the time to study the Soul-capturing Magic Pearl. Following that, Ye Xiaofei willed it back into his Inner Realm.

Not being able to study the Soul-capturing Magic Pearl didn't mean Ye Xiaofei couldn't study other things.

Such as the memories of the Soul-capturing Ancestor, which spanned nearly a thousand years; or the uses of the Soul-capturing Magic Pearl, among others.

Moreover, when Ye Xiaofei organized the Ancestor's memories, he was astonished to find that both his ability to read knowledge and his logical thinking had become incredibly strong.

It was as if he could understand anything at a glance and grasp it in an instant.

This astounding discovery made Ye Xiaofei ecstatic and exhilarated.

Due to the millennium of cultivation memories from the Soul-capturing Ancestor, they were overwhelmingly vast for Ye Xiaofei. In a short time, he could only pick the essentials, starting from the beginning to slowly understand them.

First and foremost, Ye Xiaofei naturally sought to select from the Soul-capturing Ancestor's memories the most suitable techniques for his own cultivation, as well as all the information regarding the Soul-capturing Magic Pearl.

After some screening, Ye Xiaofei finally chose a technique suitable for his cultivation—the Celestial Demon Divine Art.

Why was Ye Xiaofei interested in this particular technique?

Because, the Celestial Demon Divine Art was obtained by the Soul-capturing Ancestor from the ruins of an ancient Demon Head.

It's a pity that if Truth Cultivators wish to practice this technique, they must either cripple their own cultivation or reach the Human-Demon realm. This was somewhat comparable to the Sunflower Scripture.

At the time the Soul-capturing Ancestor acquired this technique, his cultivation was already in the late stages of crossing the tribulation. Therefore, naturally he wasn't foolish enough to cripple his own cultivation.

Hence, he planned to wait until his ascension to the Demon World before he started practicing these demon techniques.

Just that, unluckily for this poor fellow, he never had the chance to ascend in this lifetime, and in the end, all his possessions fell into Ye Xiaofei's lap.

In addition, Ye Xiaofei also completely sorted out the usage of the Soul-capturing Magic Pearl.

From the memories, Ye Xiaofei learned that the Soul-capturing Magic Pearl had two heaven-defying functions.

One function was to capture the souls of others, refining and merging them into one's own primordial spirit; the other was to use the pearl to set up a top-level killing formation.

After Ye Xiaofei had sorted out the things he needed, seeing that the sky outside the window was still pitch black, he knew that there was still some time before dawn.

Immediately, he couldn't help but reach into the pocket of Xiao Ya's clothes and pull out her cell phone.

At this glance, Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but jump in shock.

What Ye Xiaofei never dreamt was that he had merely fallen unconscious briefly, then had an intense fight with the Soul-capturing Ancestor inside his body, and when he awoke, an entire week had passed.

Looking at the time displayed on the phone, at first Ye Xiaofei thought there was an error with the phone's display.

But after he went online to check, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Damn... it really is so! No wonder when I woke up, my parents were not by my side, only Elder Sister Xiao Ya was sleeping beside my bed. They must have been worried sick over this past week!"

While Ye Xiaofei was feeling moved, suddenly a loud wailing cry came from the corridor outside the hospital room.

Listening to the cries outside, Ye Xiaofei got up curiously and walked out.

When he reached the door, he happened to see several nurses pushing a cart with a body covered in a white cloth passing in front of him.

Following closely behind were the relatives of the deceased, who were crying as if their hearts were breaking.

Just as Ye Xiaofei was curiously observing these people, suddenly a dark shadow flitted past his eyes.

At first, Ye Xiaofei thought he was seeing things.

However, as he watched the dark shadow incessantly bumping against the body covered by the white cloth, the startled Ye Xiaofei turned pale and almost screamed out loud.

"A ghost..."

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ye Xiaofei covered his mouth with his hand, preventing himself from screaming.

However, even though Ye Xiaofei didn't draw anyone else's attention, the dark shadow that had been bumping against the body seemed to notice Ye Xiaofei and turned to rush toward him.
