To the Source River, the Source River Cauldron! Ghost Path Immortal Artifact, Resentful Ghost Pool

Whoosh.

Zhang Lingshan took out Yi Chen's physical body, poured Divine Dew into it, and thoroughly washed the body clean with it.

With that, Yi Chen's body was completely under Zhang Lingshan's control.

Moreover, Zhang Lingshan had obtained his Soul Imprint, providing a double layer of security.

According to Extreme Soul Immortal Venerable, a Soul Imprint might not be secure enough, but that did not matter. Yi Chen's soul had already made a trip through the Yama Ghost Realm and been branded with a layer of its mark.

Next, Zhang Lingshan planted the mark of his own Soul Tree within it.

This ensured absolute safety unless Yi Chen could enlist the help of an expert from the Immortal Realm.

But if he had such capability, he would not have fallen so low as to be demoted to a World Lord.

And even if he truly had that capability, there would be no need for him to do so, because it would bring Yi Chen no benefit.

On the contrary, if he cooperated with Zhang Lingshan, Yi Chen's future would be boundless.

As long as Yi Chen was not an idiot, he would know what to do.

"Thank you, Great Emperor!"

Yi Chen dropped to his knees. Having returned to his body and survived such a calamity, he keenly felt the preciousness of life. Thus, he was filled with reverence for Zhang Lingshan, respectful to the utmost degree.

"When would be the right time to ascend through the Source River Teleportation Array?" Zhang Lingshan asked directly.

Yi Chen said, "The best time is after the Realm Lord Hall competition, when we go together with the others. That has always been the rule in every Mortal Realm. If we go early, we will instead draw attention and invite unnecessary trouble."

"Good."
