Grateful for Nature's Gifts
After Xiao Yan carefully collected the Essence Blood and ordered the Creator Heavenly Saint to find a secluded place to diligently practice the Great Heaven Creation Palm, he then followed Xiao Xuan back to his Tomb Mansion.
Suddenly, a phantom halo appeared in the Tomb Mansion, containing a vast expanse of soul energy, as well as resentment and curses that seemed to threaten to engulf the heavens and the earth.
"What is this?" Xiao Yan felt a chill run down his spine.
"The Heavenly Tomb was once the resting place of the strong and the place of inheritance of the Dou Emperor race—those Energy Body were basically from the Dou Emperor race, as well as beings connected with the Dou Emperor race."
"But breaking through to the Dou Emperor requires Origin Qi, and Origin Qi is becoming increasingly scarce as each Dou Emperor refines it."
"Later, most of the Dou Emperor race was wiped out, and the Heavenly Tomb was no longer as magnificent as it once was, which was to be expected."
At this point, Xiao Xuan paused, then continued in an uncertain tone:
"That Seal Technique seems to have changed the function of the Heavenly Tomb. Before, the Heavenly Tomb could only work on Dou Zun, but now the Heavenly Tomb has a feeling of being integrated with heaven and earth."
"This space was created after the Heavenly Tomb underwent anomalies. Countless dead people formed Energy Body in the Heavenly Tomb Space, and their Residual Soul were brought to this space."
"But the information in the mark is limited. I'm not sure whether these Residual Soul will return to the world and disappear completely, or whether they will merge into the Heavenly Tomb Space and strengthen the Heavenly Tomb."
After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, Xiao Yan fell into deep thought.
There is no concept of Reincarnation in the Dou Qi Continent. At most, a strong person will leave behind Residual Soul after death. Top-tier strong people may leave behind some memory fragments or Soul Imprint and can even jump out, but once they die, they are dead.
However, Residual Soul may also obtain some rare and precious materials to complete its soul, and then possess another body, or directly possess another body and then slowly complete its soul.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan asked, "Are there many Residual Soul?"
"It's probably because of the accumulation of too many years, among which there are millions of Residual Soul at the Dou Zong level." Xiao Xuan gave an extremely terrifying number.
Xiao Yan's mind went blank for a moment, and then he subconsciously thought of the Soul Hall.
As everyone knows, the Soul Hall is a parasite on the Dou Qi Continent. It has built countless branch halls throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent, and each branch hall has at least two elders and a group of protectors.
And those guardians all seem to be in a spirit state. According to the Heavenly Tomb's judgment, would they be considered dead...?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's breathing became slightly heavier, and he said, "Teacher, take me inside to have a look?"
Xiao Xuan hesitated for a moment, then instructed, "There is a lot of resentment inside, and it seems that because Netherworld is in harmony with the Laws of Heaven and Earth, even the naturally born and nurtured Heavenly Flames cannot resist it. On the contrary, it will make you want to merge into it."
"However, your Soul Realm is already at the Heavenly Realm Great Perfection, and you also have a physical body to protect you, so just be careful."
After saying that, Xiao Xuan led Xiao Yan through the light circle. Accompanied by a mysterious fluctuation, the two arrived at a mysterious space that seemed to be between the Heavenly Tomb and the Dou Qi Continent.
A wave of dizziness washed over me, followed by a cold indifference devoid of desire, as if nothing in the world mattered.
Shaking his head to clear the strange thought from his mind, Xiao Yan opened his eyes and was met with Xiao Xuan's caring gaze.
Seeing that Xiao Yan was unharmed, Xiao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't expect this place to reject the physical body; only the soul can arrive."
Xiao Yan nodded, then looked around at the space.
The space doesn't seem very large, but you can't see the end of it no matter what, as if spatial distance doesn't exist here.
Time seemed to stand still. Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan floated in the air, below them were seemingly endless ghosts, their last expressions preserved, frozen in this space-time.
At the heart of the space is a somewhat illusory Light Sphere, its exact size unknown, seemingly boundless, yet also appearing to be just a tiny point of light.
The Light Sphere would occasionally emit a burst of intense light, but it would quickly dim. Each time this happened, Xiao Yan could see the dense cracks covering its surface.
There were also some slightly transparent orbs of light in the space. These orbs of light all emitted terrifying soul fluctuations, which were clearly the Soul Origin extracted by the Soul Hall from countless souls.
Xiao Yan then said softly, "The protectors of the Soul Hall have been wiped out. I will process their Residual Soul and put them into the bodies of livestock such as pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese, turning them into animals."
"They possess intelligence far exceeding that of ordinary animals; they easily realize their fate of being domesticated, yet they can only live in constant fear of death."
"I will avenge you."
The simple words echoed in the space, yet they caused countless orbs of soul light, large and small, to release a faint glow and convey a wealth of information.
This information is meaningless; it's just resentment, unwillingness, and other emotions left behind before a complete death.
Xiao Yan casually grabbed a handful of Soul Origin, which appeared in front of him. This Soul Origin was now the purest Soul Power, which could be directly refined and absorbed.
If the emotions involved are not resolved, even Heavenly Flames like the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, which can control negative emotions, will find it difficult to refine it, except for the Nihility Devouring Flame.
After examining the cluster of soul light, he decided to use the Spirit Transformation Emperor Soul Fruit to create a breakthrough opportunity. He believed that absorbing the cluster of soul light here would be enough to break through to the Emperor Realm Soul.
But compared to Emperor Realm Soul, Xiao Yan was more concerned about the core of this space.
To be honest, this thing looks a lot like Plane Embryo.
Xiao Yan then reached out and pushed the ball of soul light in front of the shining Light Sphere.
The Light Sphere did not react, but the Seal Technique slightly, and then suddenly drew upon Xiao Yan's Soul Power. The Yin Yang Twin Flames then broke free from Xiao Xuan's control and transmitted a strange fluctuation towards the Light Sphere.
This seemed to be a way of communicating with the Light Sphere. The Light Sphere then merged with the clusters of soul light, and then trembled slightly, taking in all the clusters of soul light in this space.
A warm, intense light shone from the Light Sphere. The cracks on its surface had not disappeared, but the Light Sphere was no longer illusory and appeared extremely solid.
A stream of light shot out from the Light Sphere and then entered Xiao Yan's body. In Xiao Yan's perception, the Emperor Flame seemed to have established some kind of vague connection with the Light Sphere.
Sure enough, the next moment, Xiao Yan felt a sense of closeness emanating from the Light Sphere.
"Origin Qi ..." Xiao Xuan, who had been quietly watching Xiao Yan's actions, finally couldn't help but murmur softly.
"What?"
"This Light Sphere seems to be a wisp of Origin Qi. Swallow it..."
Before Xiao Xuan could finish speaking, his figure disappeared from this space. Xiao Yan could sense that this was the work of the Light Sphere — Xiao Xuan had been removed from the Group Chat for making inappropriate remarks.
