  Soul Devouring Formation was a very evil formation, it was also called Spirit Transfer Formation. Even a level one Soul Devouring Formation was very hard to set up as the materials needed weren’t something ordinary people could acquire.

  The main ingredient needed was Soul Devouring Wood, it grew in very hidden places without any sunlight. If it was exposed to light, it must be picked away immediately or it would wither.

  The reason Soul Devouring Formation was evil was because it could transfer a cultivator’s spirit roots. Through this, it could transfer a talented cultivator’s spirit roots to yourself, making yourself better.

  Rarely would anyone in the cultivation realm do this as the requirements needed were too strict. Even if someone got the Spirit Devouring Wood, they would rarely do this as once someone took the spirit roots through the formation, they couldn’t use it for himself. He must give them to a third person so the formation really benefited the third person. That’s why it was called Spirit Transfer Formation.

  The third person must also be blood related to the second person or it wouldn’t work either.

  So if Feng Xi got Li Hun’s spirit roots through the formation, he couldn’t use them himself. He must give it to someone blood related to him.

  Ye Mo also realized why Li He didn’t kill Feng Xi after knowing this was Soul Devouring Formation. Feng Xi was also a victim and the person who harmed him might be his father Feng Chun.

  The Soul Nourishing Formation and Soul Devouring Formation were quite similar and the only difference was the Soul Devouring Wood. If Feng Chun schemed all this, then he might teach Feng Xi this formation but tell him it was the Soul Nourishing Formation instead.

  But Ye Mo felt it was also suspicious even if Feng Chun did it. Regardless of whether Feng Xi succeeded or not, he didn’t need to set up this huge illusion formation and create this terrifying mist that could make a cultivator lose his soul.

  Plus, the news he got came from Teng Yi who said it was a legend. Who knew if it was real? Bright Moon City was destroyed, so who spread the legend out? Of course, Feng Chun was the most suspicious.

  Ye Mo shook his head and didn’t keep thinking. He left this room. This had nothing to do with him, he just wanted to search for spirit herbs.

  As soon as he walked out, that black figure appeared in his spirit sense again. Shadowless knew what Ye Mo wanted and charged up already; that black figure seemed to know Shadowless was coming and wanted to run away but Shadowless’s eating power was displayed. It sucked and that black figure turned into a line and was devoured by Shadowless.

  Ye Mo saw this and thought that this eating monster was really powerful.

  \r \r \r

  Moments later, Ye Mo felt Shadowless’ joy and knew that Shadowless ate a soul that was being nourished in the mist.

  Realizing this, Ye Mo was shook. If that was the case, there definitely was some terrifying existence in the mist. Those cultivators who came in here had their souls stripped and kept inside the mist, when he wanted to use one he would take one.

  What cultivation method was practiced through devouring people’s souls? What being was this? Was he a demon cultivator or beast cultivator?

  If he found the Immortal Curl Flower, Ye Mo might leave right now. he didn’t want to stay in this eerie environment.

  He no longer had the mood to stay in this room, he quickly left and sped past streets and went into the Golden Page World at a hidden spot.

  Even though Ji Ling’s essence spirit was weak he had to ask Ji Ling.

  Ji Ling was still asleep, but due to Ye Mo’s Herb King Spirit Range, and the Bitter Bamboo, his essence spirit didn’t weaken.

  Ji Ling immediately knew that it was something important since Ye Mo wouldn’t wake him otherwise. “Is it something important?”

  Ye Mo nodded, he said directly, “Qian bei, I’ve encountered a place outside, it’s covered in grey mist and after going inside, cultivators are susceptible to losing their soul……”

  “You’re talking about Lost Soul Ruins?” Ji Ling asked.

  Ye Mo answered immediately, “That’s right, Lost Soul Ruins.”

  “Ye Mo thank you, you probably came here to find the Immortal Curl Flower for me right?” Ji Ling said.

  “Ji Ling qian bei, now’s not the time to talk about that. I see many souls in here but they only have a dark figure body and dimly lit eyes……”

  Ji Ling said in shock, “So Lost Soul Ruins is where demon cultivators devour souls. Ye Mo leave quickly, even if I can’t recover my body you must not stay here. You don’t know how terrifying soul devouring cultivators are, they’re more demonic than demons.”

  Ye Mo had already come inside, he wasn’t going to leave unless he got Immortal Curl Flower here.

  Ji Ling was saying this for his benefit but Ye Mo still said, “Qian bei, what is a soul devouring cultivator? It’s the first time I’ve heard about it.”

  Ji Ling replied, “It’s a very terrifying cultivation method, the cultivator can keep others’ souls and let them grow itself. When he needs it, he can devour them to strengthen his own soul. These cultivators’ spirit sense and soul are very powerful, more than ten times that of ordinary cultivators. They’re definitely invincible in the same cultivation level and can easily kill cultivators above their level.”

  Ji Ling murmured, “No wonder there’re so many spirit herbs here.”

  “Why?” Ye Mo immediately asked.

  “Because the souls he keeps need spirit herbs to feed them or their level wouldn’t be high enough and thus won’t be able to benefit his cultivation,” Ji Ling replied weakly.

  Ye Mo saw this and quickly said, “Qian bei, go rest first, I understand.”

  Ji Ling sighed, he worried for Ye Mo but he wasn’t able to help him.

  Ye Mo left the Golden Page World and realized why Shadowless loved devouring the black figures so much. They were all souls fed with high level spirit herbs.

  Ye Mo even suspected that the cultivator holding high level spirit herbs was intentionally let out to attract more people to come.

  Knowing that there was a very powerful being here, Ye Mo didn’t keep searching for spirit herbs. Since it was kept by someone, he wouldn’t be able to rob it. According to Ji Ling, that cultivator must be very strong and he probably was no match for him. What he needed to do now was to find the formation door of the illusion formation. Only when he could control the illusion formation would he be able to keep searching for spirit herbs.

  Only then would he be able to leave whenever he wanted.

  At this moment, Ye Mo felt a strong spirit essence wave from Shadowless. He immediately realized Shadowless broke through. He didn’t know what level Shadowless was, but each time it broke through, it’s power rose drastically.

  Shadowless broke through just by eating a black figure and didn’t even go to sleep. Ye Mo rejoiced and let the mist come near him by removing Purple Eye Soul Sever.

  As soon as the grey mist neared Ye Mo, it turned into a grey beam that was devoured completely by Shadowless. Then, the grey mist started to retreat as though it was alive.

  Shadowless didn’t seem to be interested in chasing up, it’s eyes looked around in the mist for something, clearly wanting the black figure souls.

  Ye Mo breathed easy. With Shadowless, it was much easier for him. He could focus on studying the formation.

  The illusion formation here was very high level but it wasn’t hard for level nine formation grand master Ye Mo.

  Two hours later, Ye Mo came to that big square again. He found the first formation door here and he found that this place was not only an illusion formation but also a level eight attack and trap formation. Only the illusion formation was level nine.

  The formation flags were either hidden in the air had been transformed into pebbles and rocks on the square.

  He made a new formation flag and replaced the old formation flag with his own.
