However, Chen Yun's Nascent Soul was still floating steadily in the air. Although his little face showed an expression of extreme pain, he still tried his best to suppress his inner emotions.

The sound of grief in the secret room came and went, sometimes high and sometimes low, and lasted all day and all night until the sound gradually became fainter and finally disappeared completely.

After another two days of waiting, Chen Yun finally walked out of the secret room with a tired face, but there was a gleam of excitement in his eyes that was hard to conceal.

At the beginning, Chen Yun did not immediately cast a spell to plant a second Nascent Soul because he was worried that forcibly occupying the consciousness of the Wood Spirit Infant would cause a backlash.

On the contrary, he chose to use a secret method called "Soul Separation Technique" recorded in the Xuanyin Sutra on the same day and performed this spell on the Zhimu Lingying.

By using those magic tools, the consciousness of Zhimu Lingying was gradually weakened and eliminated.

As time went by, the original spiritual consciousness of Zhimu Lingying had dropped to an extremely low level.

Under such circumstances, Chen Yun, relying on his powerful spiritual consciousness that was no less than that of the late Nascent Soul stage, forcibly wiped out the last remaining spiritual consciousness of the Wood Spirit Infant. This was undoubtedly an easy task for him.

Now, the spirit baby's consciousness has been forcibly erased by him. He injected part of his own consciousness into it, and then used secret methods to take the spirit baby into his body, gradually assimilating and adapting it.

Although there is a risk that his spiritual consciousness will be assimilated by the spirit infant's instincts, Chen Yun is confident that his spiritual consciousness is extremely tenacious and the possibility of this happening is not great.

Even if this situation really happened, the most he could do was to abandon this part of his spiritual consciousness.

With his powerful spiritual sense, this part of the loss will not have much impact on his wisdom.

As for how long this assimilation process will take, it cannot be accurately predicted.

It may take three, five, or even longer, depending on the individual's situation. Chen Yun originally did not expect this second Yuanying to play a role in the trip to the Falling Demon Valley, so he was not anxious about it.

After leaving the secret room, he took a short rest and adjusted for a day, then went to the market to buy a batch of refining materials.

After spending half a month in the refining room, he reappeared.

At this time, he already had more than a dozen giant nail magic weapons in his hands that could change size freely.

Chen Yun took these magical tools and headed straight for the swamp where he captured the Snow Cloud Fox.

When he appeared in the stone house in the belly of the mountain, he saw the corpse goblin lying peacefully on the stone platform. Although he had already prepared himself mentally, he still couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He took out a jade box with a golden talisman on it from his storage bag, then arranged the giant silver nails one by one, then narrowed his eyes and stared at the corpse goblin.

The appearance of the corpse goblin has not changed at all. It is still covered with green hair, its left arm is missing, and its body is still tightly bound by thin silver chains.

Chen Yun examined the entire stone chamber from top to bottom and confirmed that everything here was exactly the same as he remembered and there was nothing unusual.

He then gently placed the jade box in his hand on the ground, and then tapped a spirit beast bag on his waist again. In an instant, a black light shot out from the opening of the bag.

The figure of the Soul-Crying Beast appeared, only about a foot in size. As soon as the beast appeared, it immediately noticed the corpse goblin on the stone platform and then let out a shrill scream.

Even before Chen Yun gave the order, its body was already flashing with black light and its size suddenly increased.

Fortunately, the beast also understood that the space here was limited, so it only grew to a size of about ten feet and then stopped. However, it still stared at the corpse goblin with a firm look, as if ready to attack at any time.

When Chen Yun saw this scene, he couldn't help but frowned. He controlled the Soul-Crying Beast through his spiritual power, causing it to gradually calm down. It turned around to face Chen Yun and squatted on the ground obediently.

"what?"

When Chen Yun saw the back of the Soul-Crying Beast clearly, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

The Soul-Crying Beast was facing away from him, and the blood-red ghost pattern on its back appeared clearer than before. The ghost on it even began to stand out slightly, giving people the illusion that the ghost was about to be resurrected.

This made Chen Yun feel a little confused.

It seems that after the recent observations and devourings, the Soul-Crying Beast seems to be undergoing some strange changes.

Although Chen Yun was surprised, he was full of expectations deep down in his heart.

However, this was not a good time to conduct an in-depth study of the Soul-Crying Beast. He released the beast mainly to prevent possible accidents.

Then, Chen Yun tapped the storage bag again. A yellow light flashed by, and an ancient and elegant jade sign quietly floated in his palm.

Chen Yun stared at the jade sign, a hint of excitement flashing between his brows.

He found this jade sign from the black-robed young man's bun after he had searched his spiritual consciousness.

The jade slip recorded more than ten different types of corpse-refining methods, most of which were stolen by Yinluo Sect from other sects. The black-robed young man copied them into his mind.

This elder of the Yinluo Sect had profound attainments in the art of corpse refining. He had put forward unique insights on the more than ten kinds of corpse refining techniques.

If improvements are made according to his suggestions, the power of corpse refining will undoubtedly be significantly enhanced.

Unfortunately, the elder treasured this knowledge very much and never shared it with his fellow disciples. He wanted to refine a few top-level corpses that could dominate the area, but he had never been able to find suitable corpses, so he had not been able to put it into practice.

Among them, a kind of corpse called "Heavenly Demon Corpse" is one of the top-level corpses that the black-robed youth has always wanted to refine. The corpses required for this method are those powerful zombies that have already acquired self-awareness. After erasing the consciousness of these zombies, and then using various mysterious spells to refine them, it is possible to give birth to this kind of Heavenly Demon Corpse.

Of course, the strength of this demonic corpse depends on the type of psychic zombie it uses and its original level of cultivation.

According to the corpse refining technique, the corpse goblin is one of the best choices. The demon corpse refined based on such a high-level heaven and earth spirit corpse can be even more ferocious than one-third of the original level.

Therefore, when Chen Yun finished reading the corpse refining technique on the jade sign, he immediately thought of the corpse monster trapped in this place.

Chen Yun naturally did not want to miss such a rare opportunity.

However, before refining the demon corpse, the original consciousness of the corpse must be discarded, just like cultivating the second Yuanying, to ensure that there is no residue. Therefore, he planned in advance to bring the jade box that might contain the consciousness of the corpse to this place in order to perform the ceremony.

At this moment, Chen Yun glanced at the giant silver nails in front of him, stretched out his hand and waved, and all the giant nails immediately floated lightly up, emitting a faint silver glow along with the spell he chanted.

As he rubbed his hands, thunder and lightning suddenly sounded, and a huge golden arc of electricity spread between his palms, with dazzling golden light and captivating momentum.

Chen Yun's face was grim and he suddenly raised his hands.

More than a dozen thin arcs of electricity shot out from his hands and hit a dozen giant nails one after another.

The gold and silver lights intertwined with each other, and the giant nails vibrated violently at the same time.

Seeing this, Chen Yun's face became solemn. He uttered the word "go" and then cast a spell.

All the giant nails turned into silver streams of light and flew out. After circling around the corpse goblin on the stone platform, they aimed at the key parts of its limbs and torso and hovered motionlessly.

After completing all this, Chen Yun took a deep breath, his eyes fell on the jade box with the golden talisman in front of him, he opened his mouth and spit out a green glow. The glow passed over the surface of the jade box, and the golden talisman shook slightly for a few times before finally falling from the box.

With a "whoosh" sound, the lid of the box flew several feet away at an angle as if it was hit by a violent external force.

Chen Yun's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes fixed on the jade box, his lips tightly pursed in silence.

A thick green mist continuously emerged from the box, accompanied by several extremely excited laughs.

"Hahaha! I am finally free. Which foolish person released me? In that case, I will use your flesh and blood to satisfy my appetite. Hey, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage?"

The green fog quickly condensed into a woman's face, which was exactly the same as Yin Yue's fox demon form, except that her eyes were green and fierce. When she saw Chen Yun clearly, a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

Chen Yun looked at this extremely familiar face and couldn't help feeling surprised, but he quickly regained his composure.

The fox form of Yin Yue was originally transformed by the corpse goblin. The jade box indeed contained the consciousness of the corpse goblin.

The green ghost face was stunned for a moment, then sneered, and suddenly opened its mouth to blow, and a cold wind whistled up. Then the ghost face suddenly grew to a size of ten feet, and leaped forward, trying to possess Chen Yun.

However, Chen Yun, who had already made all the preparations, would not let her succeed easily.

Although the corpse demon was extremely powerful when he was alive, now he is just a remnant soul that has been trapped for many years. Chen Yun has no fear of this.

He stood firmly in place, without moving an inch, a cold light flashed on his face. The Soul-Crying Beast beside him seemed to have received some kind of instruction. It suddenly snorted and a yellow light swept out.

The crisp sound was heard again, and after a flash of golden light, a gap the size of a millet grain appeared on the silver chain.

Chen Yun's face changed slightly, and he could hardly hide his surprise.

Although he knew that this silver chain could restrain the extremely powerful corpse goblins and was definitely not an ordinary magic weapon, he was still surprised that even the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword with Geng essence added could only cause such minor damage.

However, Chen Yun did not stop his actions. The flying sword continued to aim at the same position and continued to slash.

After a long time, the silver chain was finally cut into two pieces by Chen Yun.

Chen Yun stretched out his hand curiously, and the silver chain that originally bound the corpse goblin instantly became as nimble as a silver snake, turning into two silver lights that fell into his palm.

He touched the silver chain lightly and found that its surface was covered with tiny runes, so tiny that they were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

Chen Yun's eyes narrowed, and his shock was evident in his words.

Such an exquisite rune is obviously not something that can be made in this world today. It should be a rare and ancient treasure!

Chen Yun thought so in his heart, and raised his hand to take the chain.

Decided to find a suitable time to try to repair the chain and verify its true strength.

He put the bracelet away and glanced at the hideous-looking corpse of the zombie.

His face was solemn, and with a wave of his fingers, ten strands of black hair flew into the body of the corpse goblin, and he began to examine it carefully.

After a while, Chen Yun showed a satisfied expression.

Except for the loss of an arm, this corpse is perfect for making zombies. Its body is as hard as iron and cannot be harmed by ordinary weapons. The corpse fire and corpse poison in its body are even more terrifying. If a cultivator touches it, he will die immediately.

However, when Chen Yun saw the broken arm of the corpse goblin, his heart moved and he fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, he patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, and a group of three-colored gold-eating insects poured out. They spun in the air, making a buzzing sound.

Chen Yun cast a spell.

The gold-eating bugs received the order and quickly flew towards the broken arm of the corpse goblin, gathering there and transforming.

Soon, a smooth tri-colored arm appeared. It was indistinguishable from the other arm except for its color and the lack of green hair.

Chen Yun smiled and expressed his satisfaction.

Next, he took out a bunch of array flags and array plates from his storage bag and set up a complex array in the stone chamber.
After staying in the cave for more than two months, when Chen Yun appeared in the cave of Zizimu Peak again, his face was pale, as if he had consumed a lot of energy.

He called out Yin Yue and went back to his secret room to continue his retreat. He never mentioned the corpse goblin again.

Another month passed, and the door of the retreat room opened again, and Chen Yun walked out calmly.

"Master, the six-winged frost centipede in the insect room has begun to lay eggs."

When Yin Yue saw Chen Yun, she immediately said respectfully.

"Really? Let me see."

After being surprised, Chen Yun also showed an expression of joy.

Then they headed toward the bug room.

Through the restricted door of the insect room, Chen Yun could clearly see the situation inside.

Compared to when Liu Yu handed it to him, the six-winged frost centipede had already been promoted to a higher level through mutual devouring. Its size had increased by nearly half, and the cold air it spewed out was much stronger than before.

Although it cannot be compared with Chen Yun's Qianlan Ice Flame, it is undoubtedly a deadly threat to Jindan stage cultivators.

At the same time, the power of the Purple Sky Fire that Chen Yun cultivated by integrating this cold energy also increased.

The eggs of the six-winged frost centipede are located in the center of the insect chamber. They are shiny black, the size of a fist, frozen in the shining ice, and emit a hint of coldness.

It was obvious that the six-winged frost centipede in the insect room was blowing a chill. Chen Yun swept his eyes across and saw that the giant centipede in the insect room had noticed something and raised its head to warn the stone door. However, Chen Yun still looked at the eggs without changing his expression.

"There are 24 centipede eggs here. Yinyue, please contact my apprentice and ask her to take these eggs away."

After confirming the number of insect eggs, Chen Yun nodded with satisfaction and whispered to Yin Yue.

"Yes, sir. I'll send the sound transmission message right away." Yin Yue agreed immediately, then took out a talisman, chanted a spell in a low voice, and threw it far away.

After Chen Yun examined the centipede eggs, he also checked the situation of the gold-eating beetles next door.

Because he had previously focused his attention on the six-winged frost centipede, he had not paid attention to these carefully selected pure golden gold-eating insects for a long time. (End of this chapter)
