Background / History

Soul Hall is described as the strongest force operating openly on the Dou Qi Continent. Its agents harvest souls across the continent, especially targeting powerful disembodied souls and alchemists, whose soul force makes them valuable prey. Its practices earned it widespread fear and hatred, though most factions historically lacked the strength to openly oppose it. 7 116 210

The organization was created by the Soul Clan and functions as an instrument for gathering Soul Origin, refined from captured soul bodies. This resource can elevate soul realms and ultimately serves the Soul Clan's larger ambitions. 98 123

Lin Ran's early clashes with Soul Hall began at Town Ghost Pass, where Protector Han attempted to capture him and massacred guards to increase his own strength. Soon afterward, Lin Ran captured an Earth-class Protector, acquired his Soul Token, and was mistaken for a Soul Hall member after using the captured Soul Bag in public. 85 90 91

After Lin Ran became a Dou Zun, he began systematically targeting Soul Hall strongholds for their Soul Origin. He seized the Earth Fiend Hall's accumulated Soul Origin, later destroyed the Human Hall and freed its imprisoned souls. These attacks provoked escalating retaliation against the Saint Rain Sect and Starfall Pavilion. 203 204 216

Soul Hall launched a major assault on Starfall Pavilion, deploying numerous Dou Venerables, Half-Saints, and Saint Hun Qing. The attack failed after Lin Ran defeated Hun Qing, while the Hall's Heavenly Venerates suffered heavy losses. 236 239

The conflict culminated in the confrontation between the Sacred Sect and Soul Hall's highest-ranking combatants. Lin Ran defeated Soul Hall Master Hun Miesheng, while Old Man Soul Demon and Hun Qian Bai fled severely injured. The alliance subsequently eliminated remaining branch halls across the Central Continent. 294 295 320

Despite these defeats, Soul Hall later re-emerged after the Soul Clan intervened directly. Soul Clan experts assumed positions within the rebuilt organization, making it stronger than before. 329

Operations & Techniques

Soul Harvesting

Soul Hall captures souls with black chains, imprisons them within branch halls, and continuously extracts their soul force. The extracted power is gathered into Soul Origin for later use. 203

• Captured souls are bound to pillars and chains, often remaining visibly conscious and in pain. 203
• Soul Origin is a dense accumulation of refined soul power capable of greatly increasing a cultivator's soul realm. 98 202
• The Human Hall held thousands of imprisoned souls before Lin Ran destroyed it. 216
• Its collection methods particularly endanger alchemists and powerful souls that have lost their bodies. 7 116

Soul-Based Combat Arts

Soul Hall cultivation methods and Dou Techniques are generally cold and sinister, granting them advantages in manipulating souls but leaving them vulnerable to powerful Heavenly Flames. 85

• Three-Stage Soul Lock — A Protector technique that deploys chained soul restraints. 85
• Mist Soul Palm and Mist Soul Senluo — Soul-qi techniques used by Protector Han against Lin Ran. 85
• Great Soul Blood Devour — A desperate soul-fusion method that allowed a Soul Hall Elder to temporarily reach eight-star Dou Zun strength. 204
• Myriad Souls Rift Armor — Soul armor formed from countless suffering souls; it significantly increased Third Heavenly Venerable Hun Chi's aura and defenses. 236

Soul Tokens

• Earth-class Protector Token — Identifies an Earth-class Protector; Lin Ran obtained one after capturing a Protector. 90
• Venerable Elder Token — A higher-authority credential associated with access to major Soul Hall branch halls. 100

Reputation and Conduct

Soul Hall's authority was built through both its extensive network and extreme violence. The Soul Hall Master was said to have massacred dozens of sects in one night and killed five Two-Star Dou Sheng experts, establishing Soul Hall as the openly acknowledged overlord of the Central Continent. 276

Its conduct is routinely condemned by other factions:

• It treats souls as resources for cultivation rather than living beings. 98 203
• It threatens or coerces weaker experts into surrendering valuable items, including a Demonic Flame Remnant Map at the Space Trading Convention. 249
• It retaliates forcefully when its authority is challenged, as shown by its assaults on Saint City and Starfall Pavilion. 191 236
• Its capture of alchemists and soul bodies placed it in long-standing conflict with the Pill Tower. 210 266

Known Members

• Hun Miesheng — Soul Hall Master; a feared Central Continent overlord who was defeated and killed by Lin Ran. 276 295
• Soul Hall Vice Hall Master — Senior official who infiltrated the Sacred Sect's gathering through a projection and threatened its prospective members. 266 267
• Star-Picking Old Ghost — Peak Five-Star Dou Zun Venerate who led the assault on Saint City alongside Old Man Mu Gu. 191
• Old Man Mu Gu — An Eighth-Rank Alchemist and early-stage Dou Zun who participated in the Saint City attack. 191
• Protector Han Shuo — An eight-star Dou Zong Protector who devoured Town Ghost Pass guards to force his cultivation toward the half-step Dou Zun level. 85
• Hun Chi — Third Heavenly Venerable who led Soul Hall's invasion of Starfall Pavilion and fought Yao Chen. 236
• Saint Hun Qing — Second Heavenly Venerable and a One-Star Dou Saint; killed by Lin Ran during the Starfall Pavilion assault. 236 239
• Qiu Di — Eighth Heavenly Venerable; devoured by Human Puppet during the attack on Heavenly Snake Mansion. 231
• Elder Hun You — Soul Hall's chief person in charge outside the Central Continent during its later re-emergence. 329

Relationships

• Soul Clan — Creator and controlling Ancient Clan; Soul Hall gathers souls and Soul Origin to support the Soul Clan's long-term plans. 98 123
• Sacred Sect — Principal enemy; Lin Ran's faction destroyed several branch halls, the Human Hall, and much of Soul Hall's leadership. 216 294 320
• Starfall Pavilion — Major hostile faction due to Lin Ran and Yao Chen's presence; Soul Hall mounted a full-scale invasion of the pavilion. 236
• Pill Tower — Long-standing adversary; Soul Hall's pursuit of high-level alchemists placed it above and in conflict with the nominally equal Pill Tower. 210
• Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts — Collaborators who allegedly supplied Soul Hall with intelligence used to organize an earlier siege against Lin Ran. 210
