Chapter 3090 - 3065: Ten Billion Soul Refining Banner

Chapter 3090: Chapter 3065: Ten Billion Soul Refining Banner

The Fotu Tower originally belonged to Ye Suxin. Now that it has been lost and found again, Ye Suxin is extremely happy.

Especially since the Fotu Tower is also an extremely formidable Magical Treasure, one of the current seventy-two Emperor Artifacts on the Barbarian Ancient Continent, its power anything but ordinary.

Lin Bai sat in a Secret Chamber and began healing. Three days later, Lin Bai’s injuries were more or less completely recovered.

Immediately, Lin Bai opened his Eyes, recalled the Black Warriors in the Corpse Burying River, and said in a low voice, "These Black Warriors should all not be Warriors of the Barbarian Ancient Continent."

"It seems the legend on the Southern Continent’s Earth wasn’t wrong. This Corpse Burying River is something that fell down from beyond the heavens."

"And at that time, the Black Warriors should already have been within it."

"Although the Black Sky Ancestor didn’t say much, based on the Meaning hidden in his words, their race was also Warriors Once. It’s just that because of the War between the Sky-swallowing Clan and the Giant God Clan, in order to preserve their lives they fell to this state, which is why they harbor such immense hatred toward the Sky-swallowing Clan."

"The clansmen of the Black Warriors are almost all at the Strength of the Peak of the Wending Realm, and number in the several thousands!"

"The Black Sky Ancestor is even an existence of the Taoist Realm."

"Still, fortunately, they seemingly can’t stray too far from the Corpse Burying River!"

"As long as I don’t go to the Corpse Burying River, I reckon they can’t do anything to me either."

Lin Bai carefully calculated for a while.

After that, Lin Bai took a deep breath, took out the Soul Refining Banner from his Storage Bag, and said with a faint smile, "This trip to the Corpse Burying River, for me, the greatest harvest should be this Soul Refining Banner."

"This was Once the possession of the Soul-refining Sect’s Grand Elder, but unfortunately, he died within the Corpse Burying River."

"However, before he died, he engraved a Magic Circle, allowing the Soul Refining Banner to continuously absorb the souls within the Corpse Burying River!"

"With so many years having passed like this, the number of souls within this Soul Refining Banner has reached a level that is hard to estimate."

"According to what that Black Sky Ancestor said, he could not enter the Stone Forest because he feared the Banner’s might, and after the Black Sky Ancestor saw the Soul Refining Banner, he even said this was... the Ten-Billion Soul Refining Banner..."

"Does that mean the souls within this Banner have reached as many as ten billion?"

Lin Bai stared blankly, lost in thought.

Looking at the Soul Refining Banner, that day when he fought the Black Sky Ancestor, Lin Bai had also used the Banner.

But at that time, the Soul Refining Banner Lin Bai unleashed only released several tens of thousands of souls, and that level of power was already decent, but it was still far from the Banner’s true extremity.

He planted the Soul Refining Banner before him.

Lin Bai once again took out a Jade Slip from his Storage Bag and carefully read through the Soul Refinement Technique written within.

After a while, Lin Bai put away the Jade Slip, looked at the Soul Refining Banner before him, his hands constantly forming Hand Seals, then shouted, "Soul Nurturing Space, open!"

Swish—

As the words left his mouth, the Technique followed. As soon as Lin Bai’s voice fell, Lin Bai’s Eyes instantly became pitch-black, allowing him to see the world within the Flags and Banners.

Within every Soul Refining Banner, there will be a Soul Nurturing Space. This is the place where souls are stored.

In Lin Bai’s vision, he saw a stretch of Dark Space.

Within that Dark Space, there were countless souls wandering freely.

The Dark Space was boundless, and there were also unseeably vast numbers of souls, almost all primarily Black Souls.

And as Lin Bai slowly looked farther ahead, he saw that among these souls, there also seemed to be many silver-colored souls.

Lin Bai softly muttered, "In the Soul-refining Sect’s Soul Refinement Technique, Black Souls are the most basic souls, and their might is also the most ordinary. Every Disciple of the Soul-refining Sect, after absorbing souls, will have those souls turn into Black Souls."

"And through the Soul-refining Sect’s Secret Skill of refining, these Black Souls will continuously evolve and grow stronger, becoming more powerful souls—these are Silver Souls..."

"In the Soul-refining Sect, souls are divided into... Black Souls, Silver Souls, Golden Souls, Holy Souls..."

"The might of Black Souls is still acceptable."

"Silver Souls’ Strength is comparable to the Death Reversal Realm."

"Golden Souls are comparable to the Wending Realm."

"Holy Souls are comparable to the Taoist Realm!"

This time, Lin Bai used the Soul-refining Sect’s Secret Skill to enter the Soul Nurturing Space precisely to search whether this place contained any Golden Souls, or even any Holy Souls.

Within the Soul Nurturing Space, Lin Bai saw an uncountable number of Black Souls, but also many Silver Souls.

As Lin Bai carefully searched, he finally saw Golden Souls.

"There are Golden Souls... but the Strength of these Golden Souls doesn’t seem to be very strong." Lin Bai saw a Golden Soul, the Glow upon this Golden Soul presenting a pale golden color.

A pale-gold Golden Soul—Lin Bai judged that the Strength of this Golden Soul was probably only around the Third Level of the Wending Realm.

Lin Bai continued searching and saw many more Golden Souls.

Within the Soul Nurturing Space, Lin Bai searched for a full two days and nights, finally more or less checking all the souls here.

"In the current Soul Refining Banner, Black Souls are the most numerous, to a degree that is hard to estimate."

"By my preliminary judgment, the Black Souls within the Banner now should have reached as many as ten billion!"

"But the power of Black Souls is average. If they attack in a swarm, they might have some effect."

"However, to deal with Strong Ones, for example Strong Ones of the Wending Realm, Silver Souls and Golden Souls are still needed."

Lin Bai’s Eyes flashed: "The Silver Souls within the Soul Refining Banner, by preliminary estimation, should number around ten thousand, which is relatively few..."

"Golden Souls are even fewer, only about a hundred!"

"There are seventy-eight pale-gold souls, whose Strength is probably only around the Third Level of the Wending Realm."

"There are twenty pure-gold souls, whose Strength is probably only around the Sixth Level of the Wending Realm."

"There are twelve purple-gold souls, all existences comparable to the Peak of the Wending Realm."

"And there is one soul that is a platinum-colored soul. I estimate this soul should have the Strength of the Great Perfection of the Wending Realm, perhaps even the Strength of the Near-Dao Realm..."

"As for Holy Souls, it seems there are none within this Soul Refining Banner."

Lin Bai searched carefully several times, but did not find the existence of any Holy Soul.

Then, Lin Bai gave a bitter smile and said, "But although I found many Golden Souls, it seems these Golden Souls are all unwilling to heed my command!"

Just now, Lin Bai had tried to communicate with a few Golden Souls, but it seemed these Golden Souls were all unwilling to pay any attention to Lin Bai, unwilling to serve him.

No matter what Secret Skills of the Soul-refining Sect Lin Bai used, these Golden Souls just stayed motionless within the Soul Refining Banner, refusing to respond.

Moreover, even many Silver Souls did not answer Lin Bai’s command.

Otherwise, back in the Corpse Burying River, it wouldn’t have been only Black Souls appearing to assist Lin Bai, with not a single Silver Soul or Golden Soul.

"Could it be because I just obtained the Soul Refining Banner, so these Silver Souls and Golden Souls are unwilling to heed my orders?"

"Or is it that the Banner’s original owner has been dead for too long, causing the Golden Souls and Silver Souls in this Soul Nurturing Space to gradually awaken their own intelligence, no longer willing to obey commands?"

"Or perhaps... I didn’t perform each step correctly? The Soul Refinement Techniques I used were incorrect? That’s why I can’t control the Silver Souls and Golden Souls?"

In his mind, Lin Bai carefully went through all the possible problems one by one.

"No matter what, I have to master the Soul Refining Banner as soon as possible. This Banner might become a Treasure that will help me rescue my parents in the days to come!" Lin Bai’s Eyes burned hot.

Leaving everything else aside, just that one platinum-colored Golden Soul within the Banner—its Strength is comparable to the Near-Dao Realm. If Lin Bai can control it, then when he reaches the Central Holy Nation in the future, he will at least have some confidence!
