Soul Beast Token

Gu worm in Reverend Insanity

VIII

Soul Beast Token is a rank eight Immortal Gu that enslaves soul beasts, including immemorial soul beasts, without needing rank eight immortal essence.

Old Ghost Bai Jun shows the Gu to his two Fang clan captives, Fang Yun and Fang Leng. Fang Yun cries out that it is a rank eight Immortal Gu. Old Ghost Bai Jun names it Soul Beast Token and says it lets him enslave soul beasts directly. He adds that at rank eight it can enslave immemorial soul beasts without calling for rank eight immortal essence, and that he can use it now. The narration says the Gu would let him control an immemorial soul beast, through it a huge soul beast army, and even all of green ghost desert. Fang Leng thinks an immemorial soul beast at his side would put Old Ghost Bai Jun on the footing of a quasi-rank eight existence. ch. 1504

Appearance

It is a ladybird-like Gu. It is like sapphire, the size of a small bowl, and its thick carapace is dotted with countless golden star specks that constantly twinkle with various lights. ch. 1504

Activation price

Old Ghost Bai Jun keeps the rank eight Immortal Gu Soul Beast Token as a huge trump card. The narration says there is a huge price to pay to activate it. He does not want to use it lightly. Even activated, he lacks confidence to win against Fang Yuan. He also fears that showing a rank eight Immortal Gu would make Fang Yuan attack to seize it. ch. 1506

Provenance

Fleeing after his defeat, Old Ghost Bai Jun thinks that if he ignores the cost and activates the token, no soul beast is beyond his enslavement. Eagle Concubine tells him their master would not have handed him a rank eight Immortal Gu without some means to monitor him. That master is a soul beast inside Divine Bean Palace. He begs it for mercy and insists the Gu is still with him, not lost. ch. 1508

Path and recognition

Fang Yuan learns the name of the rank eight Immortal Gu from Fang An Lei. He calls it a rank eight enslavement path Immortal Gu. He feels a strong urge to design a theft path killer move to steal it. ch. 1513

Strain on the user

Old Ghost Bai Jun thinks that activating Soul Beast Token expends his soul foundation rapidly. He judges that he cannot sustain it and must settle the battle fast. He says he is still unfamiliar with the Gu. Fang Yun and Fang Leng ask how he gained control of four immemorial soul beasts in so short a time. Fang Yuan says that controlling four immemorial soul beasts at rank seven is far beyond Old Ghost Bai Jun’s abilities. ch. 1514

Refinement and gift

Chen Yi understands that Qing Chou nurtures many wild Immortal Gu on its body, among them rank eight Immortal Gu Soul Beast Token. Qing Chou, he sees, refined it and gave it to Old Ghost Bai Jun. He reads Qing Chou’s aim as using the soul beast army to help suppress Divine Bean Palace. ch. 1516

Contest with a killer move

Fang Yuan sets his killer move hundred and eighty slaves against the Gu. The flying spider immemorial soul beast is under the effect of Soul Beast Token. The narration says hundred and eighty slaves is rank seven and cannot match the rank eight Gu on its own. The move also draws power from the number of soul beasts, and Fang Yuan has many. That lifts it to rank eight, and the two stand in a stalemate. Old Ghost Bai Jun reaches his limits and coughs blood. The power of Soul Beast Token disappears from the spider, and Fang Yuan subdues it. ch. 1518

Core of a final move

Qing Chou resists enslavement and unleashes its final move. Rank eight Soul Beast Token is the core of that move. The narration says the move’s name is unknown. Its light spreads over all of green ghost desert, and soul path dao marks light up across it. Every soul beast in the desert then feels a summons and goes to reinforce Qing Chou. The narration says its effect is not immediate. ch. 1526

Summoned soul beasts

Outside peach blossom maze, countless soul beasts gather in a sea. The narration says they were all summoned by Soul Beast Token. ch. 1527

Theft

Fang Yuan uses the killer move great thief ghost hand while standing on Qing Chou’s back. A black ghost hand enters Qing Chou’s body. He pulls it out clenched, as if holding something, and opens his immortal aperture for it. Qing Chou’s body cracks and it roars. Qing Chou then shouts, asking whether Fang Gong or Chen Yi stole its Soul Beast Token. Fang Di Chang and Chen Yi are shocked that anyone could steal a rank eight Immortal Gu from its immortal aperture. Qing Chou cannot perceive Fang Yuan, and accuses Chen Yi. ch. 1528

Second refinement

Inside Fang Yuan’s immortal aperture, the Gu struggles inside the ghost hand. Fang Yuan suppresses it with the Gu formation in Heaven Sealing Mountain. The narration says Qing Chou had already refined it, and its will remained inside. Fang Yuan first activates self love on the Gu, so that Qing Chou’s will would not risk self-detonating it. He sends in affection will next, and Qing Chou’s will destroys most of it. The lingering affection will stays scattered in the Gu. ch. 1529

He then sends in his self will in small waves, and it is wiped out each time. His advantage grows with time until he holds half the control. Lingering affection will and fake will interfere when Qing Chou’s will tries to detonate the Gu. His self will then erases the rest of Qing Chou’s will. Three days and nights pass outside before he finishes. ch. 1529

Worth among the gains

Fang Yuan counts Soul Beast Token among the gains of the Divine Bean Palace battle. The narration says such a rank eight Immortal Gu could not be obtained normally, even with huge assets.

Part of emperor yama

Fang Yuan adds rank eight Soul Beast Token to his deduction of the killer move yama. The narration says this resolves the biggest difficulty of the mid and late stage.

Rank eight holdings

Fang Yuan counts four rank eight Immortal Gu: Attitude, Wisdom Sword, Years Flow Like Water and Soul Beast Token. He thinks Soul Beast Token is needed in emperor yama and cannot be taken out. Most rank eight Immortal Gu use rank eight immortal essence. The narration names Soul Beast Token as an exception, because it expends the soul foundation of the user. Judged by that activation requirement alone, the narration calls it top tier among rank eight Immortal Gu. ch. 1572

Ghost hand purification

Fang Yuan’s unique refinement method uses rank eight Soul Beast Token as its core Immortal Gu. Dark ghost hands grab a half-finished Spring Autumn Cicada and pull impurities out of it. The narration says the method fuses great thief ghost hand and Soul Beast Token. It has great effect but easily leaves ghost qi behind. ch. 1645

Defense rating

Emperor yama combines ghostly concealment, Soul Beast Token and ghost official garment. The narration says its defense is incredible and can be used in rank eight battles. Its defense is still lower than winter coat. ch. 1700

Use in green ghost desert

Comparison with Dream Token

The narration likens rank eight dream token Immortal Gu to the Soul Beast Token that Fang Yuan has. The narration calls Soul Beast Token a soul path Gu worm with enslavement path ability. Dream token is a dream path Gu worm with a similar ability. No chapter shows Ying Wu Xie returning the Gu to Fang Yuan. ch. 1848
