"You possess such awareness. Good." Lei Chen nodded slightly, his tone calm yet carrying a hint of warning. "However, there is something I must tell you in advance."

His gaze swept over the Angel Holy Sword in Ye Gu Yi's hand, its faint radiance flowing as he continued, "Without this sword, after you slay Evil Soul Masters, most of the purification power produced would return to you, helping your soul power cultivation grow rapidly."

"But now that the holy sword has acknowledged you as its master, this purification power will be absorbed by it first, used to repair itself and awaken its divinity."

"This means that your future rate of raising your soul power through slaying evil will be far slower than before. To a great extent, your path of cultivation will have to return to the traditional way, relying on your own meditation and accumulation. Your progress may be much slower. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Gu Yi did not hesitate in the slightest. She nodded firmly, her azure eyes crystal clear, devoid of greed or regret.

"This junior understands. Compared with awakening the holy sword and restoring the glory of angels, the speed of my personal cultivation is insignificant. I will cultivate diligently and improve step by step. I will never complain!"

Her voice was crisp and resolute, carrying a sense of responsibility and open-mindedness beyond her years.

Lei Chen smiled in satisfaction. This was precisely the kind of Divine Seat reforger with a steadfast heart that he needed.

"Good! Since you possess such resolve, I will give you another helping hand—three great boons, so that you may walk this path more steadily and farther!"

Before his words had faded, Lei Chen raised a hand and made a gentle beckoning gesture toward the void. The space before him twisted slightly, and a peculiar immortal herb appeared out of thin air, floating in midair.

The herb was pure white like jade, as though carved from the finest mutton-fat white jade. It emitted gentle, pure energy fluctuations, as if it had gathered the purest vital essence between heaven and earth.

This was the Primordial Unity Immortal Herb, which grew within the Icefire Yin Yang Well and absorbed the essence of heaven and earth!

"This is the Primordial Unity Immortal Herb," Lei Chen introduced. "It can directly raise your soul power level, and it can also greatly compress the soul power within your body, multiplying its total amount and making your foundation incomparably stable."

"Taking it will not only give you a soul power foundation far beyond that of Soul Masters at the same rank, but also lay the most solid foundation for you to condense a Soul Core in the future."

Lei Chen continued, "Your Sacred Angel Martial Soul is currently in its two-winged form. Once you break through Rank 90 and condense your first Soul Core, your martial soul will evolve and transform into the more powerful Six-Winged Angel."

"And with the Primordial Unity Immortal Herb strengthening your foundation and compressing your soul power, you will be able to condense your first Soul Core ahead of time at the Rank 70 Soul Sage realm!"

"At that time, your martial soul will evolve into a Six-Winged Angel in advance, and your strength will surely undergo a qualitative leap. This will greatly benefit your future efforts to slay evil and awaken the holy sword."

A dazzling light burst forth in Ye Gu Yi's beautiful eyes.

Condensing a Soul Core at Rank 70 and evolving her martial soul ahead of time—this was practically the opportunity of her dreams. She forcefully suppressed the excitement in her heart and respectfully held out both hands. "Thank you for your generous gift, Senior!"

The Primordial Unity Immortal Herb drifted gently into her palm. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, as if it possessed a spirit of its own.

Immediately afterward, Lei Chen flicked his finger. A faint stream of seven-colored light containing supreme authority shot forth and silently sank into the back of Ye Gu Yi's right hand.

Ye Gu Yi felt a slight warmth on the back of her hand. Lowering her head, she saw an incomparably intricate and profound seven-colored rune mark quietly emerge, branded onto her skin as though naturally formed. After flickering faintly, it disappeared from sight, yet she could still clearly sense its presence.

"The Primordial Unity Immortal Herb is the first boon I am giving you. The second is this mark," Lei Chen said. "With it, you may freely enter and leave the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest. No Soul Beast will hinder you."

"When you need to obtain soul rings in the future, you may go to the Star Dou Great Forest, find a Soul Beast whose abilities suit you, and simply 'imprint' its skill."

"Imprint?" Ye Gu Yi caught that unfamiliar term, and obvious confusion appeared on her pretty face.

Everything she had been taught since childhood involved killing Soul Beasts and absorbing soul rings. What was this "imprinting"?

Lei Chen smiled faintly and explained, "Not long ago, I modified the foundational rules of this world. From this day onward, Soul Beasts will no longer produce soul rings upon death."

"If Soul Masters need to advance, they must use their soul power to communicate with Soul Beasts and obtain their skills through 'imprinting' to condense soul rings. There will no longer be any need for slaughter."

"What?!" Ye Gu Yi's delicate body trembled, and her pupils suddenly contracted. Her exquisite face was filled with indescribable shock.

Modifying the rules of an entire plane?!

This... what kind of heaven-shaking power was that?!

The senior before her could actually accomplish something as world-altering as reshaping the cultivation system? This had completely surpassed her imagination!

She had originally believed Lei Chen to be a reclusive expert with unfathomable strength, but now it seemed that he was likely countless times more powerful than she had imagined!

Seeing Ye Gu Yi so stunned that she could not speak, Lei Chen merely smiled and continued, "The ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest already know of this and will cooperate."

"When the time comes, whichever Soul Beast's skill you fancy, simply display this mark. They will naturally allow you to imprint it."

Ye Gu Yi tried her best to process this earth-shattering information. Only after a long while did she take a deep breath and solemnly say, "Yes, this junior will remember."

"As for the third boon..." As Lei Chen spoke, he slowly raised his hand. A deep seven-colored gleam flickered at the tip of his index finger as he gently touched Ye Gu Yi's smooth forehead.

Ye Gu Yi only felt a cool sensation between her brows. A vast and peculiar stream of information instantly flooded into her mind, bringing no discomfort. Instead, it felt as though it had always existed there.

The next moment, her "field of vision" seemed to rise infinitely before covering the entire Douluo Continent. Countless points of light, some bright and some dim, appeared within her perception like stars.

These points of light varied in size and brightness, yet each one emitted an Evil aura. Clearly, every point represented an Evil Soul Master.

Then she instantly understood: the larger and brighter the point of light, the stronger that Evil Soul Master was and the more grievous their sins. Their precise locations, even their specific movements, were displayed within her perception in real time!

"This... this is..." Ye Gu Yi was once again shocked by this miraculous method.

Every Evil Soul Master in the world was like a firefly in the darkness, with nowhere to hide before her!

"This third boon is real-time tracking for every Evil Soul Master on the continent." Lei Chen withdrew his finger, his tone as calm as ever, as though he had merely done something trivial. "This way, searching for prey will no longer be like looking for a needle in a haystack. You can purify Evil more efficiently and awaken the holy sword."
