Abundant Life! The Irritable Zhang Geyang!
Zhang Geyang immediately smiled and spoke, his tone as gentle as if he were greeting a junior member of his family:
"Come to think of it, it's been almost twenty years since I last saw Heavenly Phoenix. I never imagined her disciples would grow up so much."
Time flies!
"Now it's all up to you young people."
His gaze lingered on Bai Yuan's face for a moment.
"So, what brings you to the Spirit Pagoda, young friend?"
His tone remained gentle as he spoke, but the fleeting cold glint in his eyes was still caught by Mu Ye, who was standing beside him.
"This person is very cunning."
I really want to beat him up!
He, who practices body tempering, detests people with cunning and scheming minds.
Bai Yuan's complexion remained normal, and his voice was steady.
"I'd like to use this Soul Spirit chamber."
Zhang Geyang raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone still carrying just the right amount of curiosity:
"The Soul Spirit Chamber?"
"Soul Beast captured from the outside world will be sent here to be made into Soul Spirit."
"Then I have to help you with this."
His gaze lingered on Bai Yuan for a brief moment.
As far as he knew, their ship had indeed been attacked by Sea Soul Beast.
However, he did not receive any specific information about what they had gained.
After all, there were no people on that ship; the Star Luo Empire was quite strict about this.
He turned to the side and gestured for them to proceed.
"Come, my dear nephew, this way please."
The four of them passed through the hall and walked down the passage into the underground space of the Spirit Pagoda.
As far as the eye could see, there was only endless pure white.
White spread from the smooth, mirror-like ground beneath our feet, enveloping the dome hidden in a soft halo.
Zhang Geyang stopped in front of a piece of equipment:
"Soul Spirit Chamber"
Let me introduce myself first.
"Soul Beast captured from the outside world are sent here to be made into Soul Spirit, and then transported to virtual spaces such as the Spirit Ascension Platform and Soul Spirit Tower using soul guidance devices."
"Of course, in this era, Soul Beast are scarce, and the opportunity to use the Soul Spirit Chamber is extremely rare. Only occasionally are some Sea Soul Beast transported here."
Bai Yuan listened quietly, his gaze sweeping over the silent instruments.
His gaze lingered briefly on the instruments.
"This is one of the most crucial secrets of the Spirit Pagoda."
"This is also the foundation upon which it rapidly became a behemoth on the continent."
Zhang Geyang stood beside him.
Wait for him to explain his true purpose.
Gu Yuena stood a step behind Bai Yuan, her gaze fixed on the pure white space.
She saw those instruments.
A surge of emotions welled up within her.
Ten thousand years ago, the Soul Spirit experiment succeeded, finally changing the irreconcilable conflict between humans and Soul Beast.
I thought it was a wonderful thing, but what happened?
However, it was precisely because of the appearance of Soul Spirit that those Soul Beasts who believed in humans ultimately met an accelerated end.
In the end, only a portion of the Soul Beast remained deep within the Star Dou Forest; the rest became extinct.
She lowered her eyes, not letting that thought leave any extra trace on her face.
The chill that flashed in his eyes deepened slightly compared to before.
"Humans, wait for me to retrieve the Golden Dragon King and the Dragon God's artifact."
"Then you will face my wrath!"
Bai Yuan's gaze lingered for a moment on the soul-guiding instrument in front of him.
He glanced around at the vast, empty white space and thought to himself.
"It's still a bit inferior to the equipment at headquarters."
He paused.
"Moreover, without the nourishment of the Silver Dragon King's aura, the Star Luo Continent has failed to develop Soul Beast paradise like the Star Dou Forest, and its gathering places are pitifully few."
"Most of the Soul Spirit here come from the Douluo Continent, relying on long-distance transmission across space."
"No wonder the Soul Master here can't compare to Soul Master on the Douluo Continent."
He turned his head to look at Mu Ye:
"Teacher Mu Ye, release one Soul Beast first."
Apart from that 100,000-year-old Sea Snake Emperor.
During that ocean beast tide, many living Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast were also collected by Mu Ye using Storage Soul Tool.
Mu Ye nodded, raised his hand to open a storage space, and a 50,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark crashed to the ground.
It landed on the pure white ground, its enormous body occupying almost half of the space.
Its life energy had become so weak that it was barely perceptible.
"Let's begin, it won't last long."
The soul-guiding instruments lit up at that moment, their light enveloping the Demon Soul Great White Shark. The humming of the instruments echoed briefly in the pure white space for a few seconds before gradually stabilizing.
The beam of light receded, and the massive outline vanished.
Bai Yuan looked at the pure white ground that was gradually returning to calm. "Transmission complete."
Zhang Geyang stood beside him, his gaze also fixed on the now empty ground.
He withdrew his gaze and returned it to Bai Yuan, without asking any further questions.
Bai Yuan glanced at the dissipating Demon Soul Great White Shark, then turned to Zhang Geyang:
Senior Netherflame
"Continue the teleportation."
Zhang Geyang walked to the instrument and examined it for a moment.
"Huh? What's wrong? Let me call someone to fix it."
He straightened up and looked at Bai Yuan again.
"Why don't you come another day? What do you say, my dear nephew?"
Bai Yuan did not hesitate:
"OK."
He noticed that the "Oh no!" came at just the right time.
He believed Zhang Geyang must have tampered with it, but the other party didn't want him to continue teleporting.
He wanted to see what tricks this guy was up to.
After the three left, Zhang Geyang saw them to the door and watched them walk away down the street before turning back into the tower.
His steps remained steady, but after turning the corner of the first corridor, his steps began to become heavy.
He quickened his pace through the corridor, pushed open the door to the secret room, and the door closed the instant it did.
His body suddenly sank, as if something was prying open his bones from the inside.
A deep rumble echoed in the secret chamber, and dark purple vines sprouted from the ground beneath his feet.
The vines grew wildly, as if searching for an exit, or perhaps responding to some kind of call.
"Thundering Hell Prison Vine..."
Zhang Geyang's voice was squeezed out through clenched teeth.
"What is it trying to do? Has it gone mad?"
His gaze fell on the swirling vines.
Lightning exploded beside him, pushing the still-uncomprehended anomaly further into the distance.
Aaaaaah!
He's losing control!
Zhang Geyang's voice echoed in the secret room, carrying a sense of loss of control that he hadn't experienced in a long time.
The dark purple vines were growing at an even faster rate, climbing up the walls and filling the space inside the sealed room inch by inch.
The Thundering Hell Prison Vine is a pure Plant-type Soul Beast that lives by absorbing metal and has a natural thirst for life.
"It's life!"
The vines were responding to the aura, slowly moving along the unconfirmed route.
Lightning continued to leap, extending along the veins of the vines from the wall to the ground, and then jumping from the ground to the other side.
Did you sense any life force just now?
"Bai Yuan?"
