The soul of a Profound Spirit cultivator—this was impossible.
Qin Fengming had already learned quite a bit about Black Mist Island and knew that it was an ancient island in the Dark Sea Region, so ancient that even some super sects did not know how long it had existed.
Yet ever since the earliest records were written, they had clearly stated that no Spirit Severing or stronger cultivator could exist on Black Mist Island.
This had been tested by countless cultivators. As long as a cultivator at the Spirit Severing stage or above entered Black Mist Island, powerful restrictive force would surge forth. They would either be annihilated or teleported out of Black Mist Island.
Even if they were brought in inside a Xumi Cave Dwelling treasure, they still could not remain on the island once they left the Xumi treasure.
By this reasoning, the owner of the skeleton before him absolutely should not have been someone at the Spirit Severing stage or above.
But at that moment, the terrifying soul-energy fluctuations radiating from the round bead left Qin Fengming utterly shocked.
Qin Fengming understood that a cultivator's soul realm did not necessarily correspond to his cultivation. Even an Integration stage cultivator's soul could be powerful enough to reach the soul realm possessed by a Spirit Severing cultivator.
His own soul was already no weaker than that of a mid Spirit Severing cultivator.
For an Integration stage cultivator to possess a powerful soul in the Profound Spirit realm was something Qin Fengming, despite having read countless books, had encountered for the first time. It felt utterly inconceivable.
Yet such a thing was not impossible. As long as enough soul energy gathered and was devoured by that self-sealed soul energy, its soul realm would naturally increase dramatically, surpassing its original realm.
