Celestial Emperor 2
Ch. 595 - The Ferocious Forgotten Soul

Qin Shan and Ji Zhufei took several days to arrive at a large island covered in fog. In this place there is not even a sign of life even though it is just a grass. The island is a cold, barren desert.

When looking at the island from a distance, Qin Shan frowned and was slightly surprised. “Entai how long since this place still has life..” Qin Shan murmured and he thought that this place might have been like this since billions of years ago.

“Do you see those giant rocky mountains? This is where we start the third exam. You have to go there.” said Ji Zhufei while pointing towards the front where a giant mountain was seen soaring up into the sky.

Hearing this, Qin Shan simply nodded his head in response. He then allowed Ji Zhufei to enter his Lotus Island and travel alone to the center of the third island in front of him.

According to Qin Shan, bringing Ji Zhufei with him was much safer than having to make him wait outside the third island. Moreover, he wanted to avoid unwanted things from happening in the future, after all this place was an extremely dangerous Forbidden Territory.

When he first set foot on the island, Qin Shan could immediately sense that there were some additional laws that made him barely able to fly. Fortunately, the Spiritual Will of his Meridian Spirit Storage Channel was already extremely powerful and made it possible for him to break the laws present in this place quite easily. Although he could not destroy the laws that limited his movements, he could at least fly for a few days until he fell back to the ground.

After flying at high speed for approximately an hour, he managed to reach the top of the rocky mountain and began to examine the area around it. This place was so cold that the air became frozen and condensed. In this kind of condition, even Qin Shan became slightly goosebumps from the cold.

“A stone altar?” Qin Shan looked at a stone altar in front of him and became a little wary. On top of the stone altar was a small pitcher that emitted boundless death energy. Apparently, there's something very dangerous locked up in there.

Qin Shan first inspected the area of the altar and finally found a few sentences carved on its surface.

“Forgotten vengeful souls, they will stop at nothing to continue gnawing at your soul for ten years. Don't touch that pitcher if you don't want your soul eroded!” Qin Shan read a few sentences engraved on the surface of the stone altar while frowning. Looks like he has to touch the jug to be able to start the third exam.

After feeling doubtful for a while, Qin Shan finally touched the fragile-looking jug quickly.

*Whooosh!! Grooooo!* The whizzing sound and the terrifying sound of the Forgotten Soul made Qin Shan almost want to cover his ears. In just a few moments, the ghosts that came out of the jug had reached nearly ten thousand vengeful souls. Apparently, the ghosts will keep coming out even more.

Witnessing this, Qin Shan inevitably had to retreat and continue dodging the attacks from the Forgotten Soul. After all, he had to endure for 10 years in this place, getting slightly injured at the very beginning would be bad in the future.

Meanwhile, Ji Zhufei, Wu Baoji, and Yu Qingzun cried out in shock inside the Lotus Island World while witnessing all of this. So many Forgotten Souls!

“Master, what kind of crime have you committed in your life until you called so many horrible ghosts?” wu Baoji said with a trembling voice, his body filled with cold sweat.

“You must have sins as vast as the ocean... A long time ago, we even only summoned around less than a thousand Forgotten Souls. But at this time, there might be almost 20 thousand.” Ji Zhufei shuddered in fear and Qin Shan's figure became a real terror for him. This guy is too horrible!

Hearing this, Qin Shan became inexhaustible. Even though he had committed many great crimes in the past, he should not have had this much sin. What exactly has he done?

At present Qin Shan still did not realize that in the past he had once guided strong cultivators to be on the path of the Demon Dao. Those cultivators slaughtered anyone they saw while walking around the world for greater strength. Moreover, Qin Shan had also cultivated the Sealing technique which was a forbidden art by the Dao of The Heavens.

Time continued to pass on that misty island, now there were already over fifty thousand Forgotten Souls! Seeing this alone was enough to make Ji Zhufei and the others faint.

Those ghosts were indeed only as strong as the flawed Early Heavenly God, yet they were untouchable at all. Moreover, they numbered over fifty thousand. This even made Qin Shan feel like vomiting blood.

“I couldn't have avoided them for ten years. Not meeting a single ghost in a single day was already a miracle. Now what should I do?” Qin Shan thought so hard that his head seemed to be about to break.

He then peered from behind a boulder to a place where there was an invisible ghost who kept pacing around like he was looking for something.

“See that fool. The trace I left in that place really made her confused. For now, I might be able to calm down for some time.” Inner Qin Shan and he started sitting in a lotus position behind a boulder.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Qin Shan, a ghost who was around him earlier had disappeared and seemed to have gone elsewhere.

Since previously Qin Shan's strength had increased quite significantly, he wanted to do a short cultivation to find out if there were any signs the Ascension Path would come at him.

After cultivating for several hours, Qin Shan could only show a sad face. Despite his strength increasing, he still could not sense any signs of ascension.

“It seems, what someone told me in the past does have a point..” Qin Shan recalled back when he first met Jie Yun in the Five Elements Treasure Realm. Back then, the old monster told him that he would not be able to go any further on the path of cultivation since he did not have his own Dao Foundation.

Actually Qin Shan wanted to learn what the Dao Foundation was and how to create his own Dao. However, he did not have the slightest knowledge and information regarding all of it.

After returning to thinking for some time, Qin Shan again recalled the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods Magical Treasure. Didn't this thing devour one's soul to restore its power? Was this thing even able to devour Forgotten Souls?

If the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods could really devour the Forgotten Souls in this place, then it was a great fortune. It was like throwing two birds with one stone!

“It turns out to be true, panic will only narrow the path of one's thinking. I should have realized this from the beginning. Although I don't know if it will work, but it never hurts to try.” Qin Shan laughed at himself.

Qin Shan did not waste any more time and he immediately sent out the Spiritual Will of the Meridian Spirit Storage Channel to begin binding a golden-colored Pagoda before him.

His Spiritual Will had already become extremely powerful since entering this Deep Ocean Oblique. So it was no wonder he was able to bind the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods in full in just less than twelve hours.

Right after Qin Shan managed to bind the magical treasure, he could feel hundreds of ghosts starting to rush into this place through his Spiritual Will. He was a little surprised and did not expect that his existence would be discovered so soon. However, instead of being afraid, Qin Shan instead looked excited.

“Truly the right time. Come here my guinea pigs, let me see if this thing is really useful for exterminating all of you?” qin Shan said while laughing in a frightening manner.

When all the ghosts had already discovered Qin Shan's existence, they howled with an extremely loud shrill voice. It seemed, they were signaling to the other ghosts regarding Qin Shan's whereabouts.

Several ghosts began to charge towards Qin Shan and attacked in a clawed and piercing manner. As they attacked with full force, a sharp silhouette could be seen darting rapidly towards Qin Shan.

“Truly annoying.” Qin Shan clucked in annoyance while dodging and repelling those attacks. Although the attacks from these ghosts were very weak, he still had to be vigilant as he could not touch them to counterattack.

A moment later, Qin Shan began to flow his Elemental Energy into the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods and activated it immediately.

Unlike before, now the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods had been under his control, so Qin Shan would not worry that it would spiral out of control.

From within the golden Pagoda, the mouth-filled vine tendrils started to come out in a frightening manner. As these tendrils came out, they all seemed to be dancing in freedom and trying to find prey all around.

An extremely concentrated Death Energy instantly formed as the tendrils realized the existence of Forgotten Souls and immediately hunted them down!

*Hiiiiiikk!!* The ghosts were screaming in fear when they saw the vines beginning to shoot towards them. They chose to escape and did not care about Qin Shan's whereabouts from the beginning being their target!
