From dual spiritual roots to a sword master with all attributes

Chapter 271: Soul-stealing Gu, Soul-cleansing Tree

In the past, Tu Zhan could still protect himself by using his fighting spirit.

But now he has lost his sanity for unknown reasons, and all the poisonous insects in his body are driven by the killing instinct.

Although the fighting spirit is still spreading around, it is scattered and difficult to gain momentum.

What's more, Fang Xiao's sword intent is growing day by day, and it is completely different from the situation when the two first met.

It was easy to destroy Tu Zhan's already insane mind.

Fang Xiao ignored Luo Tianshan who was in doubt and walked slowly to Tu Zhan, intending to see why he became like this.

"The situation is unclear, Fellow Daoist Fang, please don't get too close."

Although Tu Zhan had lost his mind, he was still alive and looked just like a living person. Seeing Fang Xiao walking towards him without any precautions, Luo Tianshan couldn't help but remind him.

"Don't worry. I have destroyed his mind and consciousness. He is no different from a dead person."

Fang Xiao explained as he pulled his soul out of his body.

However, he didn't want to search his soul. He couldn't even search the soul of a person in the middle stage of the God Fusion Realm.

But he discovered something strange in Tu Zhan's soul.

The mind and consciousness exist between the tangible and the intangible, and usually exist deep in the soul.

Just now, when Fang Xiao's sword was penetrating deeply into Tu Zhan's soul and destroying his mind, he clearly discovered that there was a foreign object deep in the soul. Even the mind and spirit that he finally destroyed were two.

This made Fang Xiao guess that there was not only a foreign object in his soul, but also a living creature.

As Tu Zhan's body and soul separated, he finally lost his breath completely and died.

Luo Tianshan at the side sighed, "It is impossible to escape death after all."

Fang Xiao ignored him and just concentrated his magic power to draw out the foreign object in his soul.

It was a polyhedron that was almost spherical and looked extremely regular. It did not look like a living thing, but rather like an artifact.

Then Fang Xiao began to carefully observe this unknown polyhedron, and he threw the useless soul aside, allowing it to dissipate on its own.

Seeing that there was a strange object in Tu Zhan's soul, Luo Tianshan immediately came forward.

"Hey, I think I've seen this somewhere."

"Fellow Daoist Luo, do you know this thing? Can you explain it to me? The situation of the battle seems to be related to it."

Fang Xiao handed it over and let Luo Tianshan take a look.

Luo Tianshan stared at the thing in his hand, then looked at Tu Zhan who was lying on the ground, as if he was carefully recalling the related things in his mind.

"A strange shape, and the ability to make people lose their minds, could this be the Soul Stealing Gu?"

"Spirit-stealing Gu? What kind of Gu is this?"

Fang Xiao already knew that this was a living creature. Since it was a poisonous insect, it made sense.

"The Soul-stealing Gu is a special kind of Gu that parasitizes the Gu Master's soul and lives and dies with him."

Fang Xiao asked, "Since we live and die together, how could you harm Tu Zhan like this? Do you have other abilities?"

“That’s right. Normally, the God-stealing Gu will not only not harm the host, but will also help the host’s soul grow rapidly, and the host will never be able to discover its existence.

However, once this Gu encounters the queen insect, it will be directly controlled by the queen insect and will take over the host's sanity.

The queen insect also hunts for living things for food.

The host will eventually suffer the same fate.

I saw all of this in a very obscure file in the tribe.

It describes many strange and bizarre poisonous insects, but I have never seen any of them.

I originally thought it was just nonsense from the person who wrote it, but I didn't expect it to be true.

However, the God-stealing Gu recorded in the files is far less multifaceted, and I think it should be related to its rank."

“I see. It seems that somewhere above our heads is the nest of this insect.

It was obvious that Tu Zhan had been infected by the God-stealing Gu when he entered the Gu God Palace three hundred years ago.

Coming here is like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth. Even if I don't kill him, I'm afraid he will die."

Fang Xiao finally understood. No wonder the battle turned out like this. He even attacked Li Zhaoxing directly. It was obvious that he had no choice.

"Since the two are dead, there is no need for us to stay any longer. Let's go directly to the lower level to meet up."

"Fang Daoyou, wait a minute."

"Why, is there anything else?"

Fang Xiao asked doubtfully.

Luo Tianshan smiled mysteriously.

“Naturally it’s a good thing.

According to the records in that file, the Soul-Snatching Gu has a companion creature called the Soul-Cleansing Tree. The Soul-Cleansing Fruit it produces is extremely effective in cleansing the soul and enhancing soul power.

This Soul-stealing Gu is obviously already a fourth-level creature, but it is still controlled by its mother insect, so its grade must be not low.

As a companion spirit, the Soul Cleansing Tree and the Soul Cleansing Fruit will not disappoint you in terms of their effects."

“There is actually a spiritual fruit with such an effect. Now that I have the chance to get it, I naturally cannot let it go.

But we don’t know exactly which floor it is on, and we can’t search for it floor by floor.”

What Fang Xiao lacks now is the skills to cultivate his physical body and the resources for his soul. Naturally, he is tempted by such good things that are delivered to his doorstep.

However, the area of ​​the Gu God Palace is too large. Even if we start searching from the 574th floor, it will take a lot of effort. It would be bad if the teleportation array was delayed.

“That’s easy. The two of them have been fighting all the way. Even if they can’t leave any traces on the Gu God Palace, the remaining bloodstains will not disappear for a while.

It is not difficult to find the Soul-Cleansing Tree as long as we follow the trail.

The only problem is how to deal with this Soul-Snatching Gu.

Judging from the situation, he has been in the Gu God Palace for quite some time, and there must be quite a few fourth-level beings. He also has the ability to seize the gods. Even I am afraid I can’t resist him.”

"If you just want to deal with the poisonous insects, leave it to me."

It might be very difficult to use the Chi Nian Sword Technique against those who are well versed in the art of artistic conception or have methods to protect their mind and consciousness.

But if the opponents are just some insects with weak minds and consciousness, it would be too easy.

Fang Xiao might not be able to grasp the existence of the fifth level, but it obviously does not exist in the Gu God Palace.

Even a large number of fourth-order poisonous insects are nothing more than chickens and dogs in front of his sword of mind. In the blink of an eye, he can destroy them without any form.

Moreover, if there really were so many fourth-order poisonous insects, Fang Xiao would be overjoyed. By then, he would be able to push the Five Mountains True Shape Map to its limit.

Luo Tianshan didn't understand where Fang Xiao's confidence came from.

However, he believed that Fang Xiao would never do something without a purpose and play with his life.

Then the two of them turned and went upstairs.

As for the bodies of Tu Zhan and Li Zhaoxing, they were also collected by Fang Xiao and sent into the Five Mountains True Shape Map for refining.

After crossing the 574th floor, there were indeed some intermittent traces of blood along the way.

Until the two of them reached the 602nd floor.

After finding the last trace of blood at a X-shaped intersection, nothing else was discovered ahead.

It was obvious that Tu Zhan and the other two had turned out from this fork in the road, and the God-Snatching Gu and the Soul-Cleansing Tree were most likely among them.

Without further ado, Fang Xiao and the other two immediately escaped into it and ran towards the depths at a very fast speed.
