Soul Fusion offered him no benefits, and performing the secret art with Princess Qinghua could easily lead him into a trap. Naturally, Chen Lin would not do it.
So, on a dark and windy night, while the two were studying the secret art with nothing between them, he struck without warning and subdued her.
Then he began a Soul Search.
Her soul was extremely powerful. In the past, he would have been incapable of searching it.
But now, the light particles within his soul had undergone one complete compression and part of a second. His soul power had undergone another qualitative transformation. Although it had not reached the level of a silver soul, it possessed some of a silver soul's properties, allowing him to suppress Princess Qinghua's soul.
The souls of people from the Soul Country resided within their Soul Pouches, making soul searches exceptionally convenient.
With Chen Lin's "gentle treatment," the damage was minimal as well.
Before long, he had obtained the information he wanted.
His expression immediately turned cold.
Just as he had suspected, this Dual Cultivation Secret Art was a trap!
According to her memories, this was not dual cultivation at all. She was treating him as a cauldron!
His role was to balance Princess Qinghua's soul power during Soul Fusion. In theory, if the mysterious energy produced by sacrificing the Spirit Guides was abundant enough, with some left over after her advancement, he could absorb it too.
But that possibility existed only in theory. To achieve such a result, every Spirit Guide would have to be an Ability User with a Great Divine Ability and exceptionally abundant energy. That was simply unrealistic.
In other words, he would give everything and receive nothing.
That alone was not a big issue. His life would not be in danger,
