Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 336 The Scheme and Guidance of the Divided Soul of the Earth Demon within the Broken Ten Tho

The relentless pursuit by the Aurors of the Western countries' Ministries of Magic and the Chinese anti-crime squad has caused the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan to suffer new injuries on top of old ones, and even after his lifespan is restored, he still has to sacrifice himself to fight the enemy.

Often, every ten days or half a month, his appearance and condition would change drastically.

The tattered Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand became even more tattered.

They captured a few scattered ghosts from the Western magical world, as well as some overconfident black and white wizard souls, which had to be sacrificed when facing powerful enemies.

This exchange didn't bring him much advantage.

At this moment, the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan stood in the forest, leaning on the even more tattered Ten Thousand Souls Banner than before. His body was filled with ghostly energy as he gazed in the direction of Hogwarts, his expression shifting between light and shadow, appearing somewhat conflicted.

Around him, a large number of snakes were active, including common venomous snakes and pythons, as well as large snakes with the bloodline of magical snakes, and even three rare purebred snakes such as the Neanderthal snake.

"Riddle, are you sure there are many ghosts in Hogwarts? Are you sure there aren't many powerful wizards left in Hogwarts at this time?"

Things are different now. Ghost cultivator Mo Xuan has learned English from a British Muggle using soul-searching techniques.

At this moment, speaking fluent and authentic English, he asked the question on the tattered banner of ten thousand souls in his hand.

Upon hearing this, a noseless, green-skinned monster face suddenly emerged from the tattered banner of the Myriad Souls, flicking its forked tongue like a snake in the form of a soul, and began its sinister reply:

"Rest assured! Your esteemed host of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, everything I said before was the truth."

Hogwarts has a history of over a thousand years, accumulating a large number of ghosts, numbering in the hundreds! Moreover, most of them were powerful ghosts with considerable strength and profound spiritual essence in their lifetimes!

There is no other place in the entire UK, or even the entire Western magical world, where such a large gathering place of ghosts can be found!

Now that summer vacation has started, most of the professors who usually reside at the castle have gone to Hogsmeade Village to relax. The place is deserted, and Hogwarts' defenses have been reduced to the bare minimum!

This is a golden opportunity! If we sneak in and launch a surprise attack, hundreds of high-quality ghosts within Hogwarts grounds will be transformed into ghost generals within the Banner of Souls, becoming your power!

The Voldemort split soul that once possessed the giant serpent Nagini has now been refined by the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan into the Ghost King within the tattered Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Moreover, he was a ghost king with a rather special status.

The Myriad Souls Banner, a magical artifact, allows only one soul to retain its consciousness and become the main soul within the banner.

Other souls captured by the banner will have most of their consciousness erased, turning them into mindless killing machines. Only when their soul essence is exhausted to the limit and they fall into the world of the dead behind the veil can they regain some consciousness.

If a ghost is rejected by the world of the dead, even if its soul essence is exhausted and it completely dissipates into the world, it will not have the chance to regain consciousness.

Voldemort truly lives up to his name; each of his fragmented souls, retaining memories and consciousness, manages to come up with something new and interesting.

Back then, the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan, despite his old and weak state, forced the tattered Myriad Soul Banner to refine the divided soul of the Earth Demon.

The moment the black flames in the banner scorched Voldemort's split soul, the split soul was stimulated to develop independent self-awareness, just like the youthful version of Voldemort's split soul in the Horcrux of the Diary.

The split soul still considers itself Voldemort, except that it wants to be an independent Voldemort, not a Voldemort split soul controlled by the main Voldemort soul.

Just then, the refining process of the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan brought a crisis to the split soul of Voldemort.

A crisis consists of two parts: danger and opportunity. Danger can be transferred, while opportunities can be readily accepted.

Through the soul connection between Voldemort's split soul and the main soul, the portion of the black flame power that had eroded consciousness and altered mind during the refining process was transferred to Voldemort's main soul within Ecclesia's womb.

Although it couldn't transmit everything, it was enough to alleviate the pressure, allowing Voldemort's split soul to take advantage of the broken loopholes in the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls and occupy the only spot in the Banner that could retain consciousness.

It also minimized the effect of the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan's control over his consciousness.

Combined with the brain-closing technique, Voldemort's split soul could even guide and influence the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan's decisions with a partially concealed truth.

Meanwhile, killing two birds with one stone, the Voldemort main soul inside Erkris's belly was unaware that it had been betrayed by its own split soul, which led to its further mental derangement.

Voldemort's main soul thought he had severed the connection with this split soul in time, but little did he know that the Voldemort split soul in the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls still retained a trace of feeling and connection with Voldemort's main soul.

This time, Voldemort's split soul within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner instigated the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan to launch a sneak attack on Hogwarts during the summer vacation.

Firstly, it was indeed intended to allow the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan to collect more ghosts to replenish the Myriad Soul Banner.

In this way, he can use his special position in the banner to absorb some of the soul essence of the ghosts to strengthen himself.

Secondly, he sensed that Voldemort's main soul was still in Hogwarts Castle, so he wanted the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan to take Voldemort's main soul into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Voldemort's split soul and Voldemort's main soul share the same origin. Once inside the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, Voldemort's main soul, whose sanity has been erased, will inevitably become nourishment for Voldemort's split soul.

By then, the soul power of Voldemort's split soul will grow strong enough to suppress the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan's control over the broken Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Turning the tables, the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan was taken over, his body was seized, and his soul was extracted into the Myriad Soul Banner and brutally tortured... All of this was no longer a dream.

Once this step is completed, Voldemort's split soul will reign supreme in the British wizarding world once again as Voldemort.

A new era of dark rule begins!

Whenever he thought of this, the divided soul of Voldemort within the tattered Ten Thousand Soul Banner would become extremely excited.

Of course, before achieving great success, he would remain silent and patient, serving as a good tool and strategist for the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan.

Voldemort had done similar things since he was a child, and he was very skilled and adept at it.

"In that case, I will use the Myriad Soul Banner to teleport again. Once we arrive near Hogwarts, you can send these snakes to scout ahead! Understand?"

Once we confirm safety, we must act swiftly! Those leeches are impossible to shake off; we can't let them block our way any longer!

Ghost cultivator Mo Xuan wasn't stupid. He didn't completely trust Voldemort's split soul, but given his current situation, he didn't have a better choice.

Only by taking a gamble can we possibly gain the capital for a strong comeback.

Furthermore, even if he decides to take the risk, he won't immediately put himself in danger.

He learned that Voldemort's split soul possessed an ability called Parseltongue, which allowed him to command swarms of snakes, and naturally, he wanted to make good use of it.

"I'll do exactly as you say!"

Voldemort, his split soul flicking out its forked tongue in its soul form, feigned humility and said, "Actually, we don't need to worry too much. Hogwarts is known as the safest place in the Western wizarding world, but also the most dangerous place for dark wizards."

You suffered a little loss at the hands of the Hogwarts professors before.

Those pursuers would never have imagined that you would come to Hogwarts on your own initiative…
