Qing Lin Emerges from Seclusion

Within the Myriad Beast Hall, time seemed to have lost all meaning. Only deathly stillness and dust remained eternal themes. Zi Yan and Xiong Zhan stood like two faithful stone statues beside the endlessly churning Malice Soul Pool, day after day.

The Soul Fluctuations occasionally emanating from the pool were sometimes violent, sometimes calm, sometimes as faint as a candle in the wind, and sometimes as resilient as refined steel, tugging at their nerves.

Zi Yan and Xiong Zhan snapped awake almost simultaneously and abruptly turned toward the altar's pillar of light.

Her aura had clearly broken through the barrier of Dou Zong and reached the Dou Venerate
