Chapter 1414: Great Void Immortal Technique

The Soul Jockey Technique was one of the superior ghostly immortal techniques, thaht only those at the Great Void Ghostly Realm could use. It was on par with the Great Void immortal techniques.

Great Void immortal techniques were based on heavenly rule, and only ghostly kings and immortal kings could use them.

Of course, the Dark Moon Soul-and-Spirit Domination Skill from before was called a realm technique, but was actually borderline in the Great Void immortal techniques.

Great Void immortal techniques used heavenly rule power, power to shake the ages and dazzle the present. Immortal kings and ghostly kings could crush immortal lords with it, their heavenly rule power riding on the back of the autonomous realm power.

Soul Jockey Technique separated one’s immortal spirit or ghostly spirit, entering someone else’s sea of knowledge, and subsequently their immortal spirit or ghostly spirit. Using overwhelming heavenly rule power, one would ride on their immortal spirit and control their body. One could even transfer a portion of one’s strength into that person’s body.

This was an evil art, and one had to experiment extensively if one wanted to master it. Many immortal spirits faded when they were invaded.

Of course, Chakravarti Ghostly King was already well-versed at it. He sent his ghostly spirit into Zhao Yuanchen’s immortal spirit, taking control of his body. Afterwards, his ghostly spirit could return to his own body. However, Zhao Yuanchen’s immortal spirit had been polluted, and traces would remain. It would usually affect one’s talent, and destabilize one’s cultivation. The lingering ghostly spirit power would make it harder to compose immortal designs, and affect one’s purity. After being controlled, Zhao Yuanchen’s future would be negatively affected.

Of course, perhaps Zhao Gongming would be able to purge these lingering ghostly immortal remnants.

"I’ll control the body, and also add a bit of my strength to his. I want to see what resistance he will face if he goes in alone."

Chakravarti Ghostly King had already decided, and no one could change his mind.

Besides, they all knew that time was of the essence. This might well be their best shot.

And so Chakravarti Ghostly King used the Soul Jockey Technique.

Zhao Yuanchen was still in a stupor, oblivious to what was happening around him.

Chakravarti Ghostly King put him in a lotus position, and then stood behind him. He extended his wide palms to cover Zhao Yuanchen’s skull on both sides, clamping over a ear each.

And then Soul Jockey Technique began.

This Great Void immortal technique was very complicated. At least, Wu Yu could not see the essence of it from his outsider’s view.

He could only sense an awful aura. The other ghostly kings all kept their distance.

He could see black qi emitting from Chakravarti Ghostly King’s body, and then enter Zhao Yuanchen’s skull through his hands.

Zhao Yuanchen’s body was changing rapidly. The black qi continued to surface across his body, and black veins could be seen.

His face started to contort in apparent agony, but Chakravarti Ghostly King held him firmly, preventing him from moving. His immortal spirit was currently being attacked savagely.

This torturous process only ceased after two hours.

By this time, Zhao Yuanchen was already saturated with black qi. He opened his mouth suddenly, and inhaled all the lingering black qi, returning to his usual appearance, albeit now bursting with energy.

His eyes flew open. They were savage and filled with dense black qi. One look and you knew it was Chakravarti Ghostly King.

"Zhao Yuanchen" yelled and stood up. Behind him, Chakravarti Ghostly King’s eyes were closed, unmoving in the lotus position.

Zhao Yuanchen was currently being controlled by the Chakravarti Ghostly King. He limbered his body, and tested his strength. It looked like an immortal spirit’s power, although Chakravarti Ghostly King’s strength was hidden within. "Zhao Yuanchen" was much stronger now than he was before.

"Wait for my good news." "Zhao Yuanchen" said, heading for the Prismatic Thunderball.

This time, it seemed like only one immortal was approaching. How would the Prismatic Thunderball react?

They watched with wide eyes for any chance.

He was so close!

It seemed like the lightning serpents were putting up even less resistance before. "Zhao Yuanchen" had to move very close before any lightning serpent even came his way.

They were ecstatic.

"It’s right! If only an immortal approaches, the attacks are much less. It must only be about a tenth of what it was!"

They had all gone close before, and knew how frenzied the lightning serpents could be.

The resistance that Zhao Yuanchen was facing was markedly lesser. As he stepped into the epochal immortal design, the Prismatic Thunderball had already started to cave.

And then he stepped in. Of course, it was actually Chakravarti Ghostly King who was controlling him.

Wu Yu and the others watched from outside. They could see clearly how deep "Zhao Yuanchen" was going. He was still in the area that they had been before, but clearly the threat was much less. Zhao Yuanchen’s ability was just enough to deal with it.

Besides, it was not just a tenth of the strength. It might not even be one part in twenty. It was at the level where an immortal could withstand. An immortal king would probably breeze straight through it.

"Father, you must succeed." Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord was very worked up. She could feel the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King getting closer to her.

If the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King was at the heart of the Prismatic Thunderball, perhaps Chakravarti Ghostly King could indeed obtain it. But Wu Yu was thinking: how could the sky palaces’ possession be so easily relinquished to a ghostly immortal?

Therefore, he was not very worried. If Zhao Yuanchen himself had come here, wouldn’t he have been able to get the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King easily?

What was there to fight about?

Wu Yu could at least be certain that he would be able to move through the Prismatic Thunderball a lot easier compared to the Chakravarti Ghostly King.

"If Chakravarti Ghostly King does not succeed this time, then I might have to change an identity and go in to try." He could change to the appearance of another immortal and go in. Even if he were discovered, he could flee and change back into White-Eyed Ghostly Lord, and no one would be the wiser.

It was the other ghostly kings who were getting more and more tense, seeing that Chakravarti Ghostly King had already passed his previous depth record.

"Is he there yet?"

"Looking good!"

"Seems like he must be near the Prismatic Thunderball already, at this distance!"

They were looking anxiously at the teeming mass of lightning serpents.

Time seemed to slow.

Wu Yu felt a few trickles of panic. He saw that Zhao Yuanchen had already gone very deep in, almost beyond their limit of vision. Could it be that he was about to...?

Just as they thought this, there was a sudden loud bang, and someone was thrown bodily out. One ghostly king moved forward to catch it. It was Zhao Yuanchen, his entire body a mass of bloody pulp. Every inch of his body was covered in a dense mass of lightning serpents swimming over the surface. The ghostly king who caught him immediately let go, squawking from the electric shock.

Chakravarti Ghostly King opened his eyes, and manipulated Zhao Yuanchen’s body over. He was clearly heavily injured, and Chakravarti Ghostly King’s face was brooding as he dispersed the lightning serpents from Zhao Yuanchen’s body and fed him immortal medicine.

"Hell master, what happened?" Clearly another failure.

Chakravarti Ghostly King said: "I did not expect it to be so deep. I was so close. I felt like I was almost there."

"Try again?" Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord asked anxiously.

Chakravarti Ghostly King lifted his head to look at her. "Not now. This Zhao Yuanchen is heavily injured. Sending him again might kill him. I have to ensure that he is fully recovered. All we can do is to wait, and tend to him. But I will still be controlling him."

Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord was a bit disappointed. Of course, she knew that things would not be so simple. She was just worried that something else would happen on Chakravarti-raja Star before Zhao Yuanchen recovered. That would be troublesome.

Although the Astral Guardian Field had already been activated, but she was still uneasy. There would definitely be many ghostly immortals who had noticed the changes, and they still did not know if news of the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King had leaked yet.

Everything rested on Zhao Yuanchen’s body. Therefore, they had to dedicate their full efforts to his recovery, so they could make another attempt. If they did not leave this place, Wu Yu would not be disposed to make his move.

But Wu Yu would think of something.

He grumbled: "If only we could have caught a few more immortals last time, that would be good. Actually, I think those immortals might be very near. How about we send some people to search for them? We might even find something?"

Chakravarti Ghostly King stared at him in disbelief. "You... actually had a good idea? If we could catch a few more, naturally we would have more chances."

White-Eyed Ghostly Lord was normally a sloppy one, and it was rare for him to offer anything constructive.

However, if some were to leave the Astral Guardian Field and search, they naturally had to be the most trusted people.

Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord immediately shouldered forwards: "Father, I want to go out and do my part."

Wu Yu of course said: "It was my suggestion. Of course it is I who should go."

They were just about to argue, when Chakravarti Ghostly King said: "Let White-Eyed Ghostly Lord go." And then he selected a few of his most trusted ghostly kings, saying: "You all go with him. Search everywhere. White-Eyed Ghostly Lord, learn from these uncles. Do as the situation calls for. You should know."

"Father, don’t worry. I’ll definitely do it! Hehe!" Wu Yu’s expression was just the same as White-Eyed Ghostly Lord. He had mastered it really quickly.

He left swiftly with the other ghostly kings.

After they left, Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord pouted unhappily.

"What’s wrong?" Chakravarti Ghostly King asked concernedly.

"I want to go out and help also." Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord wheedled.

"Silly child, I’m doing this for your own good. It’s dangerous outside. Let him go. I want to see how much he has changed. As for you, if I get the Mark of an Immortal King within this time, what do you say?" Chakravarti Ghostly King patted her head.

Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord understood now.

Even if she had lost the fight, she was still better than her good-for-nothing brother in her father’s heart! More important!

"Father, I understand! I will not let you down!" Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord said, moved.
