Hun Mieqing of the Soul Clan! At This Moment, Silence Was Deafening
The Soul Clan has established the Soul Hall, and now they have two things to do.
The first thing to do is to set up the Spirit Devouring Life Extinguishing Array in preparation for the final sublimation of the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill.
The second task, which also serves the first, is to collect outstanding souls across the continent, extract their Soul Origin, and help the Nihility Devouring Flame advance to the Emperor Realm Soul.
The Soul Origin is a unique and pure energy in the world. Absorbing it can elevate the soul's realm. In Little Yan's original trajectory, when he destroyed the Human Hall in the Tianang Hall of the Soul Hall Palace, he found a mass of the Soul Origin that condensed millions of souls.
This substance is against the natural order, but it has been refined into pure power by the Soul Clan. Under the persuasion of the Old Yao, Little Yan swallowed it, and his soul advanced from the Late Heavenly Realm to the Heavenly Realm Great Perfection.
"The Soul Hall!" Xiao Yan's smile vanished instantly, his gaze turning icy. "Could this Tomb Manor be related to the Soul Hall?"
A teacher for a day is a father for life.
Despite being a useless person for three years, Xiao Yan now genuinely respects Old Yao.
Old Yao was almost killed by Han Feng and the Soul Hall back then, and Xiao Yan must destroy him in his lifetime.
"Not necessarily." Zhang Yuan gazed at the sky filled with the Soul Origin, his eyes deep. "Perhaps the Rank 8 Alchemist who wanted to Rebirth Through Pill wanted to restore or enhance his Soul Power, so he restrained so much."
"But at least one thing is certain: the owner of this Tomb Manor was not a good person."
At this point, Zhang Yuan turned to look at Old Yao and chuckled, "Senior, you should make some preparations. Perhaps we must seize this opportunity to complete the pill."
This time, the Old Yao didn't say anything either.
He scanned the tomb chamber with his soul and confirmed that there were exactly 100,000 Soul Origin within. In order to refine Soul Origin, the soul owner must have been Dou Zhe in life and embarked on the true path of cultivation.
In other words, the 100,000 Soul Origin before us are at least 100,000 Dou Zhe. Although Dou Zhe are only the first stage of formal cultivation, they have blocked half of the people on the continent.
These 100,000 Soul Origin couldn't all be enemies of the Tomb Manor's master!
Moreover, this is just one tomb chamber. Based on his previous observation of the shape of the "Medicine Cauldron" outside the Tomb Manor, there are at least four more similar tomb chambers, which contain the Soul Origin.
"The owner of this Tomb Manor is definitely not a kind person; he might even be an evil cultivator. You should all be careful," Old Yao warned.
Feng Xian immediately became extremely alert, as a major battle might be about to unfold.
Zhang Yuan frowned slightly, then conjured several Teleportation Bead and tossed them to Xun'er and the other girls. "If there's any danger later, return to the Ancient Void Realm immediately."
The women nodded in agreement and offered no objections.
Zhang Yuan's current strength is above theirs, and he can return to the Ancient Void Realm at any time if there is danger. With Feng Xian and Old Yao around, they don't need to worry about his safety.
"What do you mean by these Soul Origin?" Old Yao asked Zhang Yuan.
"Let them be saved," Zhang Yuan said without hesitation.
"Perform a ritual to deliver the deceased?" The Old Yao and the others frowned.
They had never heard of such a method before.
Xiao Yan's eyes flashed, and he thought to himself, "Isn't this a Daoist or Buddhist technique?"
"It's about sending these souls to the underworld for reincarnation," Zhang Yuan added.
"Young Yuan, you don't need to feel guilty." The Old Yao, assuming Zhang Yuan had allowed the Soul Origin to disappear naturally, advised, "Their souls have already been refined into their essence; this wasn't your doing."
"If Heaven bestows something and you don't take it, you'll suffer the consequences. It doesn't matter if you devour it."
"I didn't say I wouldn't absorb it." Zhang Yuan shook his head and said, "Senior, you may not know, but within the Mysterious Yellow Flame lies a realm where the Soul Origin can be extracted, allowing the soul to reincarnate."
In fact, he possessed the art of Thunder Method, which allowed him to "physically" deliver these souls from suffering.
They can all reincarnate, but the power of their origin will remain.
Doing this might bring about the so-called power of merit.
"I see." The Old Yao chuckled. "I knew you weren't such a kind person, Yuan boy."
Everyone rolled their eyes.
Zhang Yuan didn't think that Old Yao was scolding him. He pondered and said, "I only need to keep 40,000 for myself to use when I break through to the Heavenly Realm Soul in the future. The other 60,000 will be given to Little Yan, Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, Medusa, Xun'er, and Qing Lin to help them achieve the Spirit Realm Soul."
Improving Soul Power is even more difficult than cultivating one's cultivation level, and the leap from the Spirit Realm to the Heavenly Realm is a qualitative one.
A million Soul Origin could allow Xiao Yan to reach perfection from the Late Heavenly Realm, so ten thousand Soul Origin would definitely be enough to allow the Mortal Realm Peak to break through to the Spirit Realm.
With Old Yao's guidance, Xiao Yan's Soul Realm had already been elevated.
Xiao Yi Xian, Medusa, Xun'er, Qing Lin are Zhang Yuan's women, so their careers have naturally progressed steadily.
Qing Yanjing's Soul Realm is in a sealed state; its power is not great, but its essence is extremely high, so Zhang Yuan doesn't need to worry about it.
The only person who might need to put in a little more effort is Zi Yan, but Zhang Yuan certainly wouldn't be stingy or petty.
"This Tomb Manor may not contain only these 100,000 Soul Origin," Old Yao stated, revealing his findings and speculations, implying that Zhang Yuan didn't need to be overly meticulous.
Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Senior, don't you Elder Feng need that too?"
"Especially Elder Feng, if his Soul Realm can reach the Heavenly Realm, he may also become Becoming a Saint in the future, given the right opportunity."
Feng Xian is skilled in weapon crafting and is also a good friend of Old Yao, so his Soul Realm is naturally not low.
"Hahaha." Feng Xian laughed heartily, "I won't stand on ceremony with you, Yuan boy."
If he deserves credit for opening the Tomb Manor, then he should rightfully get a share of the spoils.
However, it was Zi Yan who discovered this Tomb Manor, and it was only through the cooperation of Zi Yan and Zhang Yuan that they were able to enter; they did not have any credit for it.
Now that Zhang Yuan is offering him benefits, he doesn't seem inclined to refuse.
In the future, the Falling Star Pavilion will be under the Nine Abyss Mansion, and he will have to "work" for Zhang Yuan.
The Lord of the Manor is just offering some nice things; why would I refuse?
"It's up to you." The Old Yao didn't argue, but felt a warmth in his heart.
In my entire life, apart from that ungrateful Han Feng, I have never misjudged anyone else.
"Receive!"
Zhang Yuan unleashed the Mysterious Yellow Flame, sweeping away the Soul Origin.
After doing all this, the group continued forward. This time, the passage was not long, and they passed through it in the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, arriving at a smaller tomb chamber, but one that was over a hundred feet deep.
Standing in mid-air, everyone could see that the fire-attribute energy of heaven and earth in this tomb chamber was even more concentrated, to the point that it had turned into spiritual liquid and filled the entire Tomb Manor.
At the top of the Tomb Manor is a sphere of light, inside which is a medicinal herb.
"This is Ninth-Grade Spiritual Medicine, the Jade Rain Orchid," the Old Yao said. "It only grows on the Cloud Island of the Jade Rain Cloud Sea above the East Sea. It takes a hundred years to mature and a thousand years to bloom, and it has the effect of reshaping the soul."
"Good stuff." Xiao Yan licked his lips.
Zhang Yuan glanced at him and said, "This thing is now just a shell; its essence has been extracted. It seems we're very close to the core of that Tomb Manor."
Everyone naturally understood this, and their hearts were filled with both anticipation and trepidation.
Zhang Yuan followed the same old routine, collecting all the Fire Spirit Liquid and storing it somewhere in the Ancient Void Realm, so he could drink it directly for cultivation in the future.
The group continued through the single portal, where white jade steps appeared before them.
They descended the steps, nine hundred and ninety-nine, and arrived at a huge plaza.
The plaza is made of an unknown type of white jade, and you can see Molten World directly below, where fire dragons and fire snakes dance.
There is an opening on each of the four sides of this square, indicating that there are four paths leading here. Therefore, there should still be three more places where items such as "Life Devouring Pill", "Fire Fragrance Flower", "Azure Nether Yellow Springs Dragon Blood", "Ten Thousand Soul Origin", and "Fire Spirit Liquid plus Ninth-Grade Spiritual Medicine" can be found.
Thinking of this, even Zhang Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
How much wealth must that be?
"Cousin, do you sense anything is amiss?" Xiao Yan suddenly asked Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan glanced around and said in a deep voice, "Are you saying that our journey has been too quiet, and we haven't encountered any danger?"
"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded. "Shouldn't Tomb Manor be filled with traps and lurking dangers?"
Zhang Yuan observed his cautious demeanor and almost laughed.
Did you read too many tomb raiding novels before you time-traveled?
However, normally speaking, the Tomb Manor powerful individuals are indeed fraught with danger, since no one wants to be robbed after death.
When Xiao Yanzi went to the Dou Sheng Tomb, he encountered many dangers, such as puppets and poisonous creatures.
"A normal Tomb Manor would certainly be dangerous, but this Tomb Manor abnormal," Zhang Yuan said. "It's called Tomb Manor, but according to Old Yao, it's actually a cauldron for refining Rank 9 Pill."
"The barrier outside this Tomb Manor is so strong that even a regular Dou Zun wouldn't be able to detect it unless Little Zi Yan possessed extraordinary talent. Otherwise, it wouldn't have gone unnoticed despite being so close to the Jia Nan Academy."
Mang Tianchi, the Dean of the Inner Academy of the Jia Nan Academy, is Dou Zun of the Lei Clan. His status, vision, and strength are all extraordinary. He can even cultivate in the Void Thunder Pool on the territory of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
He didn't even discover this Tomb Manor; it would probably take Half-Saint or even Dou Sheng to find it.
"And the owner of this Tomb Manor is not dead yet."
"His current condition is probably similar to that of the Old Yao."
"This is his territory!"
Zhang Yuan looked at a high platform in the center of the square, on which was a bead.
Boom!
The moment Zhang Yuan's voice fell, a phantom figure appeared in the bead, instantly mobilizing the energy in the square to transform into a gigantic body hundreds of feet tall, its giant eyes filled with coldness.
"I am the Soul Clan's Hun Mieqing. If you don't want to die, get out of here now."
Everyone: "."
Soul Clan?
Wuhu!
