Upgrades and Two Clouds of Blood Mist

In the Northern Frontier of the Heavenly Soul Empire, in an ordinary little valley no more than twenty miles from Peach Spring Village.

After traveling for more than a day, Zhou Huan returned to the small cave.

There are actually many such small caves within a hundred miles of Peach Spring Village, mainly because this area is full of mountains and valleys.

That's why Peach Spring Village is actually a remote, secluded mountain village.

If roads are blocked, people can't get through, and naturally, money can't flow in either.

However, Zhou Huan felt that this kind of place wasn't entirely bad in the Douluo Continent. At least no imperial wars could reach this place because it had absolutely no strategic significance.

Even if the Heavenly Soul Empire changes hands in the future, it won't have much impact on a small mountain village like Peach Spring Village, since the government is too lazy to even come and collect taxes here.

Because this place is not only remote and poor, but also has a very small population, so they can't collect much money at all, not even enough to cover the carriage fare.

Therefore, Peach Spring Village, along with several other dilapidated mountain villages nearby, only pays taxes together once every two or three years.

It was precisely because of this remote location that Zhou Huan chose to return when he was absorbing his fifth Soul Ring.

Now, it's time to absorb the sixth Soul Ring, so Zhou Huan has returned here once again.

However, before that, Zhou Huan first drank the "Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew".

The instant those few crystal-clear dewdrops were swallowed, Zhou Huan felt a sudden tremor in his Sea of Consciousness.

An incomparably pleasant feeling instantly spread throughout my body, and my Sea of Consciousness began to expand...

This feeling lasted for a full three minutes before it subsided.

Zhou Huan opened his eyes, and for that brief moment, his eyes were as deep and unfathomable as the starry sky, but they quickly returned to normal.

Zhou Huan felt that his Spiritual Power was at least five times stronger than before.

The Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, which I've been longing for, is indeed a wonderful thing!

Although it provides almost no boost to Soul Power, its effect on Soul Master is absolutely no less than that of any Immortal Herb.

However, Zhou Huan couldn't be sure what level his Spiritual Power had reached, since there was no comparison, and no Soul Tool in this era could detect Spiritual Power.

After absorbing the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Zhou Huan began to absorb the Hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring condensed by the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

Along the way, Zhou Huan had already explained the function of his Second Martial Soul, the Floating Pagoda, to Brother Octagon and Miss Narcissus, which truly surprised the two Immortal Herbs.

After hearing Zhou Huan's plan to become a god, Brother Octagon and Miss Narcissus naturally had no reason to object, since they had already made their decision to follow Zhou Huan before they came out.

After absorbing another 100,000-year-old Soul Ring, Zhou Huan felt... well, it was just so-so, nothing special.

The absorption process was uneventful, because with Zhou Huan's current physical condition, absorbing a Hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring was an easy task.

Subsequently, following the old custom, Zhou Huan absorbed the right leg Soul Bone left behind by Octagonal, while Floating Pagoda absorbed the immortal Immortal Herb remains of Brother Octagon.

After absorbing the energy, Zhou Huan's Soul Power Level reached level sixty-four.

Now possessing four major Soul Bone — Left Arm Bone, Right Arm Bone, Right Leg Bone, and torso bone— Zhou Huan conservatively estimates that he can kill a Soul Emperor with one punch and a Soul King with one stomp.

Although the sixth Soul Ring of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass is 100,000 years old, it only grants him one skill called "Extreme Ice Amplification," which can greatly increase the power of Extreme Ice.

Zhou Huan felt this was even better than obtaining two Soul Skills, since he wasn't lacking in one or two Soul Skills.

Because the Right Leg Bone of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass gave him two more Soul Bone Skill: Octagonal Ice Origin Condensation and Octagonal Universal Spikes.

Zhou Huan, who had been hiding his true nature for many years, had actually never used these Soul Skills, especially the Soul Bone Skill.

So far, the only Self-Created Soul Skill he has faked is the Heavenly Horse Step Soul Skill from the third Soul Ring of the Blue Dragon Ice Qilin Horse.

Therefore, he became the fastest boy in Xiao Xiao's words.

However, it's much better to not use these Soul Skill than to use them three times a day.

After all, using them means engaging in battle.

That's what Zhou Huan thinks anyway.

Then, Zhou Huan looked at the Floating Pagoda in his hand.

Really!

After he became the Soul Emperor and the Floating Pagoda absorbed the remains of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, its materialization approached one-tenth, and even its internal space expanded considerably.

Immediately afterward, Zhou Huan did not stop, but began to absorb another Immortal Herb — the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhou Huan had already refined the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

The increase in Soul Power was within Zhou Huan's expectations; it only increased by two levels.

Back then, Ning Rongrong increased her Soul Power by a full six levels thanks to the Aromatic Silk Beauty, but that was an improvement at the Soul Elder level.

Of course, Zhou Huan also knew that the effect of Immortal Herb on improving Soul Power Level could not be simply assumed to be directly proportional to the Soul Master's own level.

But for him to advance two levels at once from the Soul Emperor level is already quite remarkable.

Moreover, the most important function of the Immortal Herb has never been to increase the Soul Power Level, but to forge the foundation for becoming a god.

Thus, thanks to the gains from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Zhou Huan's Soul Power increased by a full six levels, making him a glorious level sixty-six Soul Emperor.

Looking at the Floating Pagoda again, Zhou Huan's eyelids twitched.

As expected, the Floating Pagoda has indeed been upgraded to nine stories, but what are those two stories on top?

The eighth and ninth levels seem to be like those with kidney deficiency, completely different from the seven levels below, which are nearly one-tenth of the total.

Zhou Huan was worried that a single breath would blow away the incredibly weak eighth and ninth floors.

Zhou Huan sighed slightly. "Never mind for now. I'll fix it later when I have the chance."

After carefully cleaning up the small cave and erasing all traces, Zhou Huan was about to return to Peach Spring Village, since it was still a long time before the start of the fourth grade. However, he suddenly spotted a man and a woman dressed in black with their faces covered from the eyes of the little gray mouse on guard about a kilometer ahead.

Their faces were covered by cloaks, but their actions were so furtive that it was hard to believe they were respectable people.

At this moment, Zhou Huan heard the voluptuous woman in black say, "This place is the middle of nowhere, how many people can we possibly find here?"

The man in black replied grimly, "What can we do? We're just two Holy Servant from a branch of the Holy Cult. What good place could we possibly go?"

The woman in black spoke with dissatisfaction, "So, why did we join the Holy Cult in the first place? Wasn't it just to serve someone else? In this Heavenly Soul Empire, the Holy Cult's missions are nothing but hiding. If it's just about hiding, then why should we serve the Holy Cult?"

At this moment, the man in black stopped, his cold eyes fixed on the woman in black. "These words, once spoken, are heard by me. Never say them again! Selling your life? Yes, selling your life! But if you join the sect and sell your life, there's still a chance of survival. If you become a carefree Evil Soul Master, unless you give up your path to advancement, you're doomed. But are you willing to give up the power of Soul Master?"

The woman in black remained silent. Clearly, she could not possibly give up the power of Soul Master; otherwise, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

With her Bloodthirsty Bat Evil Martial Soul, she advanced to the Soul King level in just a few years. How could she possibly give up?

It's just that her evil Martial Soul Awakening relatively late and wasn't fully developed, and she was also older than usual; otherwise, she could have become a true Holy Spirit Disciple long ago, instead of remaining a peripheral Holy Servant.

Seeing the woman in black remain silent, the man in black's tone softened somewhat. "Alright, enough of that unpleasant talk. Let's find a small mountain village and have a good meal. In such remote and impoverished places, no one would care even if everyone died. Hehehe, my Blood Mosquito can't hold back any longer."

The woman in black nodded. "Okay."

However, in the next second, an extremely cold chill instantly enveloped the two of them!

Centered on the two individuals, an icy domain was formed within a hundred-meter radius in the blink of an eye!

The two Holy Spirit Cult servants were shocked, but they found that in this icy and bone-chilling domain, they couldn't even activate their Martial Soul. They could only stay in place like puppets, unable to move.

Despair was the only feeling these two people experienced!

At this moment, Zhou Huan appeared in front of the two of them without them noticing.

This domain is clearly the Domain Skill that the Blue Dragon Ice Qilin Horse- Torso Soul Bone gave Zhou Huan — Ice Qilin Cold Domain!

A powerful skill that can forcibly freeze Soul Master, even preventing them from activating their Martial Soul!

Zhou Huan looked at the two people in front of her expressionlessly and said calmly, "I'll only ask once: besides you two, is there anyone else who would come here?"

Although he had overheard the conversation between the two Evil Soul Masters, he still wanted to ask one more question.

The man in black answered readily, "You must promise to let us go first, then we can..."

Before he could finish speaking, a Snow Palm struck him, and in the next instant, with a "bang!", the man in black turned into a cloud of blood mist, leaving not even a trace behind.

Emperor Palm - Great Cold Without Snow!

That's how powerful they are!

At this moment, the remaining woman in black was completely stunned.

He looks like a teenager, how could he be so ruthless?

Are we the Evil Soul Master, or is he?

Zhou Huan looked at the woman in black again and calmly asked, "What is your answer?"

Hearing the question, the woman in black finally snapped out of her daze and hurriedly replied, "N-no, that's all. We just weren't assigned to a good place, that's why we came here. Nobody ever comes to places like this normally. By the way, we are... I can't say our religious name, but..."

At this moment, nothing was more important to the woman in black than her own life, and she had to say everything she could.

However, Zhou Huan waved his hand, stopping her from continuing.

But the woman in black still managed to say one last thing, "If you let me go, I'm willing to do anything for you, anything at all. I look..."

The next second, "Bang!"

Another cloud of blood mist!

After finishing, Zhou Huan sighed, "The Holy Spirit Cult, so they've already started infiltrating and laying the groundwork in the Heavenly Soul Empire? This is really troublesome."
