"That powerful fluctuation of Spiritual Power has finally disappeared!"

Running to the outskirts of Falling Star City, Soul Ancestor, leaning against the city wall, unconsciously pulled off her veil, revealing a charming face.

His heavy breathing caused his chest to heave uncontrollably.

"Lingling, phew~ what a pity..."

After a while, the Soul Ancestor's breathing became smooth. He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to recover the Soul Power and Spiritual Power he had consumed along the way.

Half an hour later, the Soul Ancestor stood up, put his veil back on, and had fully recovered his Soul Power.

Looking down at its feet, the surrounding weeds had withered and dried up, showing no signs of life.

"The small Nuoding City has actually attracted such a figure because of a single century-old Soul Bone? I hope he's just passing through."

Recalling the source of that Spiritual Power, the Soul Ancestor felt a chill of fear, but then a surge of anger arose within him. "Why does one's Martial Soul determine everything? Having good parents is truly more important than any amount of hard work later in life! God is so unfair!"

"However, I will soon be able to defy fate!"

Then, he took out a book from his pocket: "The Origin of Martial Souls".

This is precisely the third book that Zhou Qing found in the "Origin of Martial Souls" series at the Nuoding Spirit Hall Branch, which was missing.

After stuffing the book back into his pocket, he went around to the city gate of Falling Star City, showed his Martial Soul certificate, and swaggered into the city.

After Doudou around, he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion in Falling Star City. The guards at the gate seemed to recognize him and did not stop him, allowing him to enter.

"Hu Fangyuan, why are you back?"

Upon seeing the Soul Ancestor, Dales was startled, then chuckled and said, "Looks like you've rescued Hu Lingling."

"No."

Hu Fangyuan's tone turned serious. "There is an extremely powerful Spiritual Power expert in Nuoding City, whose strength is at least at the Soul Douluo level. I'm giving up on her."

"Soul Douluo! Are you sure?"

Dales' eyes widened. "How could such a powerful figure be in Nuoding City? When Elder Zhong led the team through this area, he only wanted to take the opportunity to let the students see the true cruelty of the Soul Master World."

"How would I know? But my Martial Soul is Spirit Devouring Worm, which has an almost instinctive sensitivity to Spiritual Power. I would never be wrong!"

Hu Fangyuan said coldly, "However, such a powerful expert is probably just passing by and won't stay long. It just so happens that I've found what I'm looking for during this time, and it will soon be able to help my Martial Soul break free from its cocoon and transform. As usual, take me to the secret chamber, and in the next two days, find me some pregnant women. I'm going into seclusion to cultivate for the next half month."

"Pregnant woman?"

Dales' eyes narrowed, and he said in a trembling voice, "Ordinary people are one thing. If they are discovered, I can just accuse them of a fabricated crime and put them in jail, and no one will stand up for them. Even if I look for the elderly and widowed, no one will care whether they have disappeared or not. But pregnant women are different. The Hall Master of the Spirit Hall Branch in the city is not on my side. If several pregnant women suddenly disappear in the city, he will definitely investigate thoroughly."

"If it doesn't work in the city, then let's try outside the city." Hu Fangyuan didn't care at all about Dales ' increasingly ugly face. "No one will care if those country folk who toil in the fields die. Just be careful not to slaughter the whole village and cause panic."

"That's easy for you to say. How can you just grab the people within the territory of my Star Luo Empire and use them for your cultivation?" Dales's voice grew colder and colder.

"Heh, when did you become so concerned about ordinary people?"

Hu Fangyuan sneered, but still offered a suggestion. "If Star Luo Empire territory doesn't work, then Heaven Dou territory will. Anyway, the area Falling Star City and Nuoding City is the border between the Two Great Empires, and there are scattered villages nearby. Just go to Heaven Dou."

"Today and tomorrow? That's too short! I don't have a carriage like the Star Luo Royal Academy Team that can travel a thousand miles a day!" Dales shook his head.

"This is to avoid any unforeseen complications." Hu Fangyuan sneered. "Don't think I don't know that you've also planted other spies in Nuoding City. Just send them messages by carrier pigeon and let them take action."

Seeing that Dales ' expression was still uncertain, Hu Fangyuan offered his benefits, saying, "After this is done, I can also help your Martial Soul Evolution."

"I don't want to become a fallen person!"

Dales stared at Hu Fangyuan, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Heh, am I Fallen Ones? For the past six years, you've been the one providing me with the resources for cultivation." Hu Fangyuan's eyes were full of sarcasm.

"If it weren't for you saving my life when I took office..."

Dales took a deep breath and said Youyou, "I hope what you say is true, and that it can help my Martial Soul Evolution."

"Don't worry, I'm very trustworthy."

Hu Fangyuan chuckled, but inwardly he was sneering:

[I asked you to help find a few pregnant women, and you're already dragging your feet like this. You still want your Martial Soul Evolution? Dream on! Even if I breach the contract, what can you do about it?]

"Trust? It's nothing more than you need me to cover your identity, and I need you to protect my safety in secret. It's just mutual exploitation."

Dales had a very clear understanding of his relationship with Hu Fangyuan. "I just want to know, what makes you so sure that you can make your Martial Soul Evolution? There are only a handful of examples of Martial Soul Evolution on the entire continent."

"You, a nobleman from a big city like Star Luo City, may not know that in this area, there was once a group of Fallen Ones who were secretly researching the mysteries of Martial Soul Evolution."

Hu Fangyuan took out the book "The Origin of Martial Souls" from his pocket.

Sizzle!

In an instant, Hu Fangyuan tore the entire book apart. Except for one page which was only wrinkled, the rest of the pages were torn in half.

Hu Fangyuan grabbed the sheet of paper, crumpled it up, and tore the grayish-yellow paper into pieces, revealing the black material inside.

This black "piece of paper," as thin as a cicada's wing, is decorated with white patterns, resembling a woman nurturing a fetus.

"This happened more than two hundred years ago. That group of Fallen Ones did not treat people like livestock on a large scale. They only occasionally captured some pregnant women and children for research."

"And they also made a very significant discovery: the process of nurturing Martial Soul is the same as that of Fetal Development! Just as a fetus is enclosed by a uterus during its nurturing process, Martial Soul is also enclosed by a special 'membrane' during its nurturing process."

"In theory, as long as the Martial Soul can re-enter that 'membrane' for nurturing, it can complete Martial Soul evolution!"

The more he spoke, the more fervent Hu Fangyuan's eyes became!

"But a 'membrane' cannot be created! So perhaps the uterus, which nurtures a fetus, can be used as a substitute, and that team of Fallen Ones has already developed the corresponding method!"

"But unfortunately, they met with misfortune before they could conduct any concrete experiments. Only one person with Martial Soul -Spirit Devouring Worm escaped unscathed..."

At that time, they had run out of experimental materials. Except for the Fallen Ones whose Martial Soul was the Spirit Devouring Worm, who stayed behind to clean up the garbage, the rest of them prepared to go out together to capture new materials.

But they had barely left the research base when they encountered a Soul Saint. The Soul Saint seemed to be being chased by someone, so he mistook the group of masked Fallen Ones for his enemies and killed them on the spot.

How ridiculous! Even that Soul Saint didn't know they were Fallen Ones!

The surviving Fallen Ones, after cleaning up the base's debris, heard the commotion and immediately destroyed all the facilities and most of the research data within the base before fleeing far away, hiding his identity and secretly plotting...

It wasn't until my generation that we opened the box left by our ancestors two hundred years ago, read the records of the past, learned about the method by which the Spirit Devouring Worm rapidly increased cultivation levels, and discovered that they had also preserved a research result...

Over the years, I've been searching for information in Library throughout the various towns and cities of this area, and now I've finally found it in the Library within the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch!
