Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Defeat of the Spell
Chapter 540 Magic Failure
Mengyu knew that she must break through this layer of energy constraint as quickly as possible.
One was to bind, the other was to break through. Mengyu felt that the layer of energy was very tenacious, seemingly about to collapse, yet it stubbornly bound her tightly.
If it had been someone else, the old man would have successfully performed the soul exchange by now.
Suddenly, Mengyu thought of the layer of energy surrounding her brain, like a drumhead over a drum, requiring great force to break. However, if she used a needle, it could pierce through with a single poke.
Thus, she tried to condense her external Divine Sense into a needle.
Generally speaking, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator is unable to condense Divine Sense.
However, Mengyu had learned the Witch God Technique, and in her everyday life, her Divine Sense was not only used for seeing things but also for controlling and condensing Essence of Heaven and Earth.
Therefore, she tried to condense her out-of-body Divine Sense, with consciousness attached, in the same way as condensing Essence of Heaven and Earth, with the only difference being releasing Essence of Heaven and Earth and only condensing Divine Sense.
Finally, her Divine Sense took the form of several spheres.
Spherical shapes definitely wouldn’t do, as they wouldn’t even easily hurt if thrown at someone.
So, she pressed her Divine Sense inward again, not compressing uniformly but focusing on the center and leaving the ends.
Finally, she compressed her Divine Sense into a pillar.
Pressing further, focusing on one end!
Finally, she formed a cone.
Originally, she wanted to press further to create a needle.
But the sensation of her soul pulsating was too awful, she couldn’t continue pressing and commanded the cone of Divine Sense to stab towards the energy layer.
Indeed, the Divine Sense Cone pierced through the energy layer, instantly mixing the internal and external energies, finally breaking through the layer of energy.
That the energy layer could become like that was entirely due to the strange arrangement of energies beforehand. But once Mengyu’s Divine Sense Cone pierced through it, the energy pattern immediately became chaotic, no longer able to return to its original arrangement, thus naturally dissipating.
As the energy layer was breached, Mengyu’s body immediately regained freedom. Meanwhile, the energy from the talisman reverted into Spiritual Energy, which Mengyu absorbed.
While the old man continued to perform his spell, his drumming had become so fast that it could not get any denser; the soul of Bai Renfeng had already emerged, but Mengyu’s soul still stubbornly refused to come out.
Old man Bang’s forehead beaded with dense sweat; his complexion, which had turned rosy from drinking a secret potion, turned pale again.
He had miscalculated; the toughness of this girl’s soul was something he’d rarely seen in his life.
Mengyu really didn’t want to watch any longer, she simply sat up and looked at Old man Bang, who was dancing and drumming: “How much longer are you going to drum?”
Old man Bang’s dancing and drumming halted abruptly, followed by him spitting out a mouthful of dark red blood, his face turning ashen.
Clearly, his magic had failed.
He pointed at Mengyu in shock: “You—even as a cultivator, shouldn’t be able to withstand my Sacrificial Ceremony soul exchange. Why is your soul so tenacious? Are you perhaps a wizard?
And why was the immobilization charm ineffective against you?”
“You say your magic isn’t that great. You mentioned that even a cultivator cannot withstand your Sacrificial Ceremony soul exchange, does that mean you’ve performed a soul exchange on a cultivator before? Was that cultivator also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like me?”
“You’re an Immortal Cultivator?” The old man had thought that Mengyu was merely an Ancient Martial Cultivator with some Daoist Skills. He had not expected her to be an Immortal Cultivator.
An Immortal Cultivator, that’s what’s commonly known as an Immortal!
He had actually schemed against an Immortal!
