Entering the Soul World

Compared to Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who nearly fainted, Li Changqing was alright; his head wasn't too dizzy, after all, he was stronger.

However, Li Changqing still couldn't see what had happened.

Li Changqing sighed inwardly. As expected of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng level expert, such strength was truly terrifying.

Hun Xuzi made a hand gesture with his hands, and then a spatial rift opened up in front of him.

A chilling aura unique to the Hun Clan emanated from the spatial rift; however, this chilling aura also contained a peculiar quality that brought a sense of comfort to Li Changqing's soul.

"Follow me, the Soul World is just ahead." Hun Xuzi walked into the spatial rift on his own.

Li Changqing and his two companions followed closely behind Hun Xuzi.

Passing through the thick, dark spatial barrier and stepping into the Soul World, one is immediately struck by a bone-chilling cold—not a cold felt by the body, but a chill that makes the soul tremble.

The land was vast and boundless, a grayish-black color. The sky was not blue or white, but a dim, inky black. There was no Solar, making it seem eerie.

In the distance, numerous black buildings exuded the same chilling atmosphere.

This is the complete picture of the Soul World.

Li Changqing internally complained.

The Hun Clan is truly peculiar; living in such a gloomy place, they're clearly not good people—they practically have the word "villain" written on their foreheads.

However, although the environment of the Soul World is a bit gloomy, the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth is really rich, far exceeding that of the outside world by several times.

Moreover, there is a comfortable aura here, so cultivating soul techniques here would be twice as effective, and Soul Force level would improve rapidly.

Following behind Hun Xuzi, Li Changqing and his companions continued their journey through the Soul World. Everyone they encountered along the way greeted Hun Xuzi respectfully, and no one dared to question him about why he had brought three outsiders into the Soul World.

As they approached a prison-like building, two members of the Hun Clan escorted a Da Dou Shi past them.

Li Changqing recognized the Da Dou Shi at a glance; it was none other than Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan was covered in wounds and had already fainted. His breath was very weak, as if he would die at any moment.

Hun Xuzi suddenly called out to the two Hun Clan members, asking, "Who are these people? Since when can even Da Dou Shi be captured and brought into the Soul World?"

The two Hun Clan members escorting Xiao Zhan exchanged a glance, their faces showing hesitation.

Hun Xuzi frowned, his voice turning cold. "Even I'm not qualified to know?"

The two Hun Clan members were startled and quickly waved their hands, saying, "You naturally know, but the three behind you..."

Hun Xuzi didn't even bother to turn his head. "Tell me, they won't leak anything, I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

The two members of the Hun Clan gritted their teeth and told the truth, because if they didn't, they might be remembered by Hun Xuzi.

Hun Xuzi is the chief Alchemist of the Hun Clan and holds a high position within the Hun Clan. They certainly don't want to be made things difficult by Hun Xuzi.

"This man is the patriarch of a branch of the ancient Xiao Family, named Xiao Zhan. The patriarch believes he might know the whereabouts of that thing from the Xiao Family, so he sent us to interrogate him."

The "thing" they were referring to was undoubtedly the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe Jade of the Xiao Family.

Hun Xuzi scoffed, "The Xiao Clan, once the strongest in the Dou Qi Continent, now has a patriarch who is merely a Da Dou Shi. How ironic."

Hun Xuzi shook his head and continued, "Since it's related to that thing, this person cannot die."

"His strength is too weak. Go to the Pill Hall and get Pills to forcibly raise this Xiao Zhan's cultivation level. Otherwise, he might not be able to withstand the interrogation and will die prematurely."

The two members of the Hun Clan nodded in unison. "Yes, sir."

Hun Xuzi waved his hand. "Then hurry up and go, I think he's about to die."

Li Changqing stood behind Hun Xuzi, looking at Xiao Zhan with a strange expression.

As for intervening to save Xiao Zhan, there's no need for that.

Xiao Zhan finally got into the Dou Huang crash course. If Li Changqing rescued him, wouldn't that ruin his good deed?

Moreover, if Li Changqing were to save Xiao Zhan, he would be in serious trouble. How could he then possibly plot to obtain the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill?

So it's best to let things take their course, since Xiao Zhan's life isn't in danger anyway.

Li Changqing continued to follow Hun Xuzi, and when they arrived at a spacious Courtyard, Hun Xuzi stopped.

Hun Xuzi pointed to the Courtyard below and said calmly, "This will be your Residence in the Soul World from now on. Also, here is a map of the Soul World and my Token."

As he spoke, Hun Xuzi took out a map and a black Token and handed them to Li Changqing.

The map shows the distribution of various locations throughout the Soul World. Except for the deepest part of the Soul World, which is not marked, all other locations are marked in great detail.

The black Token was engraved with the three characters "Hun Xuzi," and Token, with a faint feeling of being able to devour everything, which meant it was probably tainted by the aura of the Void Devouring Flame's Child Flame.

After all, Hun Xuzi's Heavenly Flames was a sub-fire split from the Void Devouring Flame.

"Within the Soul World, except for the deepest forbidden area, you can freely travel to any other place with my Token, and no one will dare to cause you trouble. In addition, if you need anything, such as Medicinal Materials, pill formulas, cultivation techniques, or Dou Technique, you can also freely obtain them with my Token."

Li Changqing accepted the map and Token with a grateful expression. "Thank you, Senior Hun Xuzi. I will certainly do my best to live up to your expectations."

Hun Xuzi nodded slightly, told Li Changqing his Residence in the Soul World, and instructed Li Changqing to come directly to him if he had any questions, before leaving.

Only after Hun Xuzi left did Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King, whose bodies had been tense, finally relax and begin to breathe heavily.

Looking down at the spacious Courtyard, Li Changqing let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, although the atmosphere in the Soul World was still oppressive, at least the residence was spacious, and with the Token, one could freely travel to other parts of the Hall of Souls.

Now I don't have to feel like I had nowhere to go like I did in the Heaven Hall of the Hall of Souls; I was almost driven crazy by the lack of options before.

Gu Yuena suddenly looked at Li Changqing and asked, "What exactly is the Hun Clan, that they have such powerful figures? What is the relationship between the Hall of Souls and the Hun Clan? Also, what level of powerhouse created this vast world?"

Li Changqing chuckled, stepped forward and pulled Gu Yuena into his arms, his large hand resting unruly on Gu Yuena's shapely buttocks, his eyes filled with wicked intent as he said:

"The Hun Clan is the most powerful force on the Dou Qi Continent. In ancient times, they had a Dou Di- level expert, and this world was created by that Dou Di. As for the relationship between the Hall of Souls and the Hun Clan, you can understand it as the Hall of Souls being an external force established by the Hun Clan, responsible for handling their affairs."

Gu Yuena ignored Li Changqing's restless hands, her mind churning with thoughts.

Gu Yuena witnessed the power of the Hall of Souls firsthand when she was in the Heaven Hall. Such a powerful force was actually just one hand of the Hun Clan.
