The Final Piece of the Six Qi Transformations

Soul power surged forth, lifting the ruins of the giant palace to reveal countless black chains entwined within, at the ends of which hung numerous orbs of soul light.

Looking at the thousands upon thousands of souls, Xiao Yuan's eyes twitched involuntarily. These bastards of the Soul Clan were completely treating souls as nourishment!

Xiao Yuan waved his hand lightly, and a terrifying gust of wind swept past like a gale. The chains shattered instantly, and the souls within the orbs of light slowly opened their eyes, looking around weakly and blankly. Finally, waves of extreme joy emanated from their souls. Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, they felt a sense of freedom. For so many years, they had been locked up here like prisoners, and sometimes, even death had become a luxury. "Go, all of you. Don't let the Soul Hall catch you again."

Looking at these souls, so overjoyed and excited that they were almost in tears, Xiao Yuan sighed softly.

In the sky, countless souls lingered, and finally knelt down before Xiao Yuan, bowing deeply to him before roaring out of the spatial barrier and rushing madly towards the free world outside.

Looking at the souls frantically fleeing this place, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but shake his head. Then he slowly landed on the ground, and with a light wave of his sleeve, a terrifying gust of wind directly sent those stone pillars, hundreds of feet high, flying away.

With Xiao Yuan's rapid digging, a huge crater was instantly created in the ruins. Deep within the crater, a ball of light, about half a zhang in size, floated. The ball of light was transparent, and countless black chains connected to its outer edge. The ends of these chains were connected to the souls that had just escaped. Clearly, this ball of light was something extracted from those souls. "This is... the Soul Origin."

Xiao Yuan muttered something under his breath; he was all too familiar with this thing!

"Such a vast amount of Soul Origin must be the condensation of at least a million souls."

Xiao Yuan let out a soft breath. The methods of the Soul Hall were indeed ruthless. For the sake of these Soul Origin, they actually destroyed a million souls. And this was only the Human Hall. In the Central State, there were many other branch palaces. Those places also had such strange things. Along the way, Xiao Yuan had bloodily cleansed the branch palaces, and each branch palace had at least tens of thousands of souls.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yuan paused for a moment, his gaze fixed on the ball of soul light. With a wave of his hand, he shattered all the chains and said softly, "I have avenged part of your grudges. Don't worry, I will completely eradicate the Soul Hall and the Soul Clan."

A single, simple sentence suddenly caused the soul's light to emit a faint glow, as if a great deal of information was being emanating from it.

Xiao Yuan silently accepted this information. The soul orb contained too much Soul Origin, but there was no intelligence within it. All that remained were resentment, unwillingness, and other emotions left behind before death. These emotions were extremely difficult to refine completely, and indiscriminate absorption would inevitably affect one's mind. However, Xiao Yuan's words had just quietly dispelled these hidden negative emotions. This could be considered another kind of wisdom of these Soul Origin. Even in death, they would use their last bit of power to make those who killed them suffer. Although it seemed easy to resolve, at least the people of the Soul Hall would never utter such a sentence.

With a flick of his sleeve, Xiao Yuan stored the soul orb in his Storage Ring, then turned and sped away towards the outside of the mountain range.

Although the news of the destruction of the Soul Hall Human Hall was not deliberately announced, such shocking news could not be concealed. Therefore, in just one week after the incident, the news spread like wildfire throughout the Central State, causing a great deal of shock.

The power of the Soul Hall is best known to the forces in the Central State. This behemoth has always stood above the Central State. Even the Danta has been repeatedly defeated in its battles with them. Therefore, although many forces have suffered persecution from the Soul Hall, they dare not retaliate and can only suppress their hatred in their hearts. Now, hearing such news suddenly, they feel quite gratified.

However, the identity of the person who made the move has always been a mystery.

While the entire Central State and the Alliance were in an extremely heated atmosphere due to the destruction of the Human Hall, Xiao Yuan returned to the Starfall Pavilion, refined the Soul Origin into Soul Awakening Breakthrough Pill, and gave it to Xiao Yan.

During the two years that Xiao Yuan cultivated in the Bodhi Ancient Tree, he not only raised his Douqi Realm to the Mid-Stage One-Star Dou Saint, but also stepped into the Emperor Realm in the cycle of reincarnation.

However, his reincarnation is different from Xiao Yan's Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation.

Xiao Yuan's reincarnations only last nine times.

But each incarnation is different.

In his first life, he returned to the Xiao Clan many years ago and became Xiao Xuan's cousin. This was the story that happened in the dream that Xiao Xuan mentioned in the Heavenly Tomb.

In his second life, Xiao Yuan went to a place called Tianxuan Continent, where people did not cultivate Dou Qi and soul power, but instead cultivated Origin Energy and spiritual power.

There, alchemists were commonplace; instead, talisman masters took their place.

There was no Heavenly Flames there, but there were the eight ancestral symbols.

However, in Xiao Yuan's era, the first controllers of the eight ancestral symbols had all died. He was fortunate enough to obtain the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol. When he was undergoing the Third Samsara Tribulation, he was ambushed by the Alien Demon of the Outer Realm Evil Clan. After giving away the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol, he used all his strength to severely injure the Second Prince and the Third Prince who attacked him before they perished.

The third, the fourth, and so on—after nine lifetimes of reincarnation, Xiao Yuan's soul power increased, and he successfully entered the Emperor Realm.

Now, he is enough to rival Eight Star Dou Sheng! This is the plan he had in mind, to rise to the top in one step! In a quiet courtyard of the Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yuan, Yao Lao, Cai Lin, Xiao Yi Xian and others gathered together.

"After you destroyed the Human Hall, the Soul Hall still hasn't made any moves. If I'm not mistaken, they should be waiting for the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame to be born in nine months."

The Yao Lao took a small sip of tea and spoke slowly.

"The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame will be born in nine months. Your current strength is beyond question. However, the strength of those around you should be improved."

The Yao Lao.

"As Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, Cai Lin can advance at the fastest speed as long as she has enough energy. There is a place in this world where Cai Lin can temper her body. Moreover, she possesses Nine-Colored Ore, which is extremely rare in this world. If she has enough luck, she may be able to evolve into a being comparable to the Ancient Sky Serpent King, the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python!"

The Yao Lao narrowed his eyes slightly and continued.

"Where?" Cai Lin's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and she quickly asked.

"The Nine Netherworld Python Tribe's Nine Nether Yellow Springs," Yao Lao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Moreover, Xiao Yan needs one of these things to subdue the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame."

With Yao Lao old apothecary produced an ancient scroll, its entire surface a deep crimson. As soon as the scroll appeared, an extremely cold and eerie aura emanated from it, eventually spreading around the scroll like a chilling sea of clouds, which appeared quite magical.

"This is a ninth-grade medicine formula that I obtained at great cost. It is called the Nine Yin Yellow Spring Pill. When Xiao Yan subdues the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, he can inject it into the demon flame's body. The extreme yin power contained in the pill will weaken the demon Fire Energy, thereby increasing Xiao Yan's success rate in subduing it."

The Yao Lao stroked the ancient scroll. He had spent a considerable fortune to obtain this prescription from a Alchemic Grandmaster.

"However, to refine this Nine Yin Yellow Spring Pill, you need a main ingredient, which is Yellow Springs Blood Crystal. This Yellow Springs Blood Crystal can only be formed at the Bottom of Nine Nether Yellow Springs. Therefore, within these nine months, you must go to the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, get it, and refine the Nine Yin Yellow Spring Pill. Only in this way can you increase the success rate of subduing the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame as much as possible."

Xiao Yuan stared at the ancient, dark red scroll and nodded. Even without this incident, he would still have gone to the Nine Yin Yellow Springs.

The Yellow Springs Blood Crystal is also of great use to him! The final Qi of the Six Qi Transformations, the Taiyang Cold Water Qi, requires the Yin-cold power within the Yellow Springs Blood Crystal.

Xiao Yuan nodded slowly, then asked, "Is the Nine Nether Yellow Springs under the control of the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe?"

"Yes, the Nine Nether Yellow Springs is located deep within the earth. It is generally the territory of the Nine Nether Earth Python, who regard it as a sacred place. Whenever Nine Nether Earth Python is about to advance in rank, it will go to the Nine Nether Yellow Springs and soak in it, which will make the breakthrough much smoother. However, the water in the Nine Nether Yellow Springs is extremely yin and cold. For serpentine magical beasts that are already inclined to yin and cold, it is one of the best places in the world to refine their bodies. However, because the water in the Nine Nether Yellow Springs is too yin and cold, even I dare not really go deep into it."

The Yao Lao said solemnly.

"However, with your abilities, it shouldn't be difficult for you to persist to the depths of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs and obtain the Yellow Spring Yellow Springs Blood Crystal. Moreover, that place is a sacred land for Cai Lin. The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python is a divine species of snake, Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python is even comparable to the Ancient Sky Serpent King. If you can successfully evolve in the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, your strength will undoubtedly increase by leaps and bounds." Yao Lao smiled and said, "If you really evolve into the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, when you transform into a snake, you can devour an entire mountain range in one gulp, and even the sky can be swallowed up."

Xiao Yuan nodded. Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python were already rare, and Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python were even rarer. Even in ancient times, they appeared only a handful of times. He naturally had no doubt about the power of Cai Lin after its successful evolution.

"Since that's the case, and time is of the essence, then we'll set off tomorrow."

Xiao Yuan also knew that time was tight and the time for the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame to be born was getting closer. Although his soul realm had broken through to the Emperor Realm, his Douqi Realm was still a weakness that needed to be strengthened.

"Okay, go ahead without worry."

The Yao Lao smiled and nodded.

The next day, as soon as the sky brightened, Xiao Yuan, along with Cai Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lian, set off from the Starfall Pavilion and headed directly towards the Beast Region.

Since this wasn't Xiao Yuan's first trip to the Beast Region, he was quite familiar with the route. Now that his strength had greatly increased, his travel speed was naturally much faster. What used to take several days could now be completed in just half a day.

After entering the Beast Region, Xiao Yuan and the others did not linger and headed directly to the area where the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe was located.

The true stronghold of the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe lies deep underground. Of course, they also have numerous branches on the surface. This race ranks first in number among the three major races, but their large number naturally leads to impure bloodlines. According to the elders of the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe, if this continues, the ancient bloodline possessed by the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe will probably be completely exhausted in a hundred years. At that time, the Nine Netherworld Python Clan will be reduced to a situation similar to that of ordinary magical beasts.

The Nine Netherworld Python Tribe has a great deal of disagreement and arguing over this matter, but without the replenishment of ancient bloodlines, and given their current rate of reproduction, that day will come sooner or later.

The Nine Netherworld Abyss is a major passage into the Underground World, and it is occupied by the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe. Therefore, its defenses are quite formidable. However, this formidable defenses are only for ordinary experts. With Xiao Yuan's current strength, such defenses would not even be able to detect his presence.

Xiao Yuan and his group appeared on a mountain peak not far from the abyss. He glanced at the seemingly formidable defenses and shook his head. Just as he was about to use his Space Power to teleport everyone into the abyss, a sound of wind breaking suddenly came from not far away. Then, several figures flashed from the horizon and appeared above the deep ravine in a few blinks.

"These people seem to be from the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe?"

Xiao Yuan stared at the figures, a hint of surprise flashing across his face. He also possessed some Dragon Phoenix and Ancient Void Dragon Bloodline, so he naturally had a special affinity for the bloodlines of the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe.

Xiao Yuan frowned slightly, then his mind stirred, and a wave spread out from his body, eventually spreading out quietly and rapidly. Shortly after this wave spread out, some faint and intermittent sounds also traveled through the space and reached his ears.

"Dragon King. Dispatch"

"Dragon King. It seems the Three Great Dragon Kings are still up to no good. I'll have to help Zi Yan out later."

Hearing this term, Xiao Yuan was not surprised. He naturally knew that the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe was now divided into four. Apart from East Dragon Island where Zi Yan was located, the other Three Great Dragon Islands were controlled by the Three Great Dragon Kings. The title of Dragon King was only used to address the island lords of these three Dragon Island.
