"A Spirit Breaker Sealing Array?" At those words, Chu Feng's eyes lit up instantly, and his heart jolted.
Forbidden arrays — Chu Feng was naturally familiar with those. They were typically means that were either prohibited or violated the laws of nature, and their danger could far exceed that of forbidden martial arts.
And Chu Feng could tell that this particular forbidden array had something to do with Spirit World beings, so he asked, "Dan Dan, what exactly does this forbidden array do? What makes you place so much importance on it?"
"Chu Feng, this array can turn the Spirit World being bound to your contract into an evil spirit," Dan Dan said.
"Turn into an evil spirit? What do you mean?" Hearing this, Chu Feng was struck with sudden alarm.
"That is to say, as long as you master this array, you can freely allow your Spirit World being to leave your Spirit World space, leave your mental world, leave your Spirit World space."
"As an independent living being, to live in your world without harming your main body — it would separate the Spirit World being inside you from your body, while you remain completely unharmed," Dan Dan said.
"But Dan Dan, didn't you say before that when a Spirit World being breaks free of the Spirit World Master's body, it violates the laws of the Spirit World? Even though it can survive in this world, it becomes an embodiment of evil."
"Not only would it be bound by the Demon Suppression Curse, it would never be able to return to the Spirit Realm it came from, and could only barely survive in this world?"
"Are you saying… you want to become an evil spirit?" Chu Feng grew somewhat panicked. This was the first time he had ever felt such fear.
Because Chu Feng did have some understanding of evil spirits. The first time he had entered the Nine Provinces Continent, in the Imperial Tomb within Qingzhou, he had encountered an evil spirit. He knew how powerful evil spirits were, and he knew how terrifying and tragic their fate could be.
Evil spirits were transformed from Spirit World beings. When a Spirit World being grew powerful enough — powerful enough to surpass its own master — it could devour its master.
After devouring the master, the master would certainly die, but the Spirit World being could survive. However, freed from the Spirit World Master's bindings, it would be severed from all connection to its homeland, and could never return to the Spirit Realm.
But the reason so many Spirit World beings were willing to become evil spirits naturally had its cause, and that cause usually came down to one thing: Origin Essence.
Yes, Origin Essence. The reason most Spirit World beings agreed to come to this world with a Spirit World Master and serve them was for precisely one thing — Origin Essence.
Origin Essence existed only in this world and nowhere in the Nine Spirit Realm. But Origin Essence could make a Spirit World being grow powerful with extraordinary speed. As long as enough Origin Essence was obtained, the growth rate of a Spirit World being would be truly terrifying.
And the method of obtaining Origin Essence was simple — all it took was endless slaughter. But Spirit World Masters rarely went on killing sprees for the sake of their Spirit World beings. They would typically seek Origin Essence through opportunities, taking what came naturally but never forcing the issue, never slaughtering the innocent for their Spirit World being's benefit.
However, if a Spirit World being broke free of its Spirit World Master, it could freely go on killing sprees, indiscriminately slaying the powerful and plundering Origin Essence, thus growing in strength at a terrifying pace.
But Chu Feng did not want Dan Dan to become an evil spirit. He did not want Dan Dan to pay such a tremendous price for power.
Setting aside the fact that becoming an evil spirit would draw the hatred of all and attract countless powerful pursuers, the most important thing was this: after becoming an evil spirit, Dan Dan would never again be able to return to the Asura Spirit Realm, condemned to drift through this world as neither human nor ghost, spurned by all under heaven.
Although Dan Dan was currently sealed within his body and could not return to the Asura Spirit Realm either way, once the seal was broken, Dan Dan could restore her full power and return to the Asura Spirit Realm.
So Chu Feng truly did not want this. He did not want Dan Dan to become an evil spirit, and that was the primary reason for his panic. His fear was not born of concern for himself, but of concern for Dan Dan.
"No. Absolutely not."
