"So that was it."
Inside the main hall, Gu Yuan nodded in understanding after listening to Xiao Yan's account, looking at Xiao Yan before him.
"So, you used that Soul Clan secret technique in your mind to refine the Soul of the Heaven Tomb, then transferred it to Big Sister Xiao Xuan, restoring her remnant soul to the point where she could leave the Heaven Tomb?"
"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded, his brows knitting slightly. "The Soul Power of the Soul of the Heaven Tomb was indeed extraordinary, but my ancestor's Soul Power had been damaged far too severely. By my estimation, her soul has likely recovered less than thirty percent."
The Soul of the Heaven Tomb was an aggregate formed from the Vengeful Souls of countless powerful experts over a thousand years. That alone was enough to show just how immense its Soul Power was. Yet even after Xiao Xuan absorbed all of it following refinement, she had not recovered even thirty percent. This showed just how terrifying Xiao Xuan's soul had been at her peak.
"Those Soul Clan guys actually did something good for once."
Gu Yuan smiled. Xiao Yan had also told him about Hun Diao, and it made him sigh inwardly.
Back then, it had been the Soul Clan that had reduced Xiao Xuan to such a state. Yet now, Xiao Xuan could leave the Heaven Tomb because of the Soul Clan as well. Fate was truly unpredictable.
"So Big Sister Xiao Xuan will reside within your soul from now on?"
Gu Yuan asked again, but Xiao Yan gently shook his head.
"Because I have some knowledge of the soul, I can temporarily keep my ancestor safe. But the quality of her soul is simply too terrifying. I probably won't be able to protect her for long."
