The Soul World under Lockdown
When Li Changqing flew to the location indicated by Hun Xuzi's Soul Imprint, Hun Xuzi had already been waiting there for a long time.
Seeing that Li Changqing's cultivation had reached the level of One-Star Dou Sheng, Hun Xuzi was somewhat surprised, and his eyes kept scrutinizing Li Changqing:
"In just six short years, you've already broken through to become One-Star Dou Sheng!"
Li Changqing bowed slightly. "I was fortunate enough to have some fortuitous opportunities, which allowed me to break through to the One-Star Dou Sheng in such a short time."
Hun Xuzi didn't ask any further questions. So what if he broke through to the One-Star Dou Sheng? He couldn't cause any trouble in front of him.
Seeing that Li Changqing had come alone, Hun Xuzi asked again, "Where are that little lion and that white-haired woman? Where did they go? Why didn't they come back with you?"
Regarding this question, Li Changqing had already prepared his answer. He calmly replied, "As we approached the Soul World Entrance, I noticed many powerful figures lingering there, seemingly searching for something."
"Their cultivation level is too low; bringing them along might expose us. So, I sent them to hide far away from the Soul World while I scout out the situation."
After a brief pause, Li Changqing pressed on, "Senior, who exactly are those people? What are they looking for? Why can't I find the entrance to the Soul World?"
Hun Xuzi looked into the distance, his voice turning cold:
"They're nothing but clowns, trying to stop my Hun Clan's grand plan. Wishful thinking! They will fail. When my Hun Clan's plan is complete, that will be the moment of their annihilation."
Even so, Hun Xuzi still didn't intend to tell Li Changqing what the plan was. He turned around and commanded:
"Come back to the Soul World with me first. On the way, I will explain the whole story to you and tell you what my Hun Clan needs your help with."
"Yes, sir." Li Changqing replied respectfully, following closely behind Hun Xuzi.
Along the way, Hun Xuzi first told Li Changqing the identities of those people; they were from the other three ancient families, and they were searching for the Soul World.
Immediately afterwards, Hun Xuzi revealed Hun Tiandi's plan to refine the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill into a finished pill.
Li Changqing feigned surprise. "So, those people wanted to stop the clan leader from refining the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill and breaking through to the Dou Di."
Hun Xuzi nodded slightly. "That's right, but they will ultimately fail. The Soul World has already disappeared. As long as they don't actively expose themselves, unless Dou Di appears, no one will be able to find them."
After showing signs of relief, Li Changqing then revealed a worried expression:
"But senior, I can only refine Ninth Grade Precious Pill. I've never even heard of Emperor Grade Pill. I'm worried that I don't have the ability to refine Emperor Grade Pill. If I ruin the clan leader's plans, I wouldn't have enough lives to pay for it."
Hun Xuzi scoffed, "Refining a true Emperor Grade Pill? Don't even mention you; even if all the Alchemist on the entire Dou Qi Continent were combined, they couldn't possibly refine it."
"We don't need to refine Pill from scratch; we only need to refine the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill into a complete pill."
"This process isn't difficult, and with the assistance of several Alchemists, plus the support of the entire Hun Clan, as long as nothing unexpected happens, it's 100% guaranteed to succeed."
As he spoke, Hun Xuzi looked at Li Changqing and said, "So you don't need to worry. Besides, I'm the one in charge of refining the pills. You just need to follow my instructions step by step."
After flying a long distance, they finally arrived at the new entrance to the Soul World.
Under Li Changqing's Nine-Star Dou Sheng cultivation level, he sensed an anomaly in the space here.
Hun Xuzi made hand seals and unleashed several mysterious runes, after which the Void before him slowly cracked open.
"Go in quickly! This passage can't remain open for too long, or it might be discovered by others." After the passage opened, Hun Xuzi hurriedly said to Changqing.
In an instant, Li Changqing and Hun Xuzi entered the Soul World, and the aura of the Soul World did not even leak out to the outside world.
Looking at the situation in the Soul World, the entire Soul World was under martial law, with guards everywhere.
Two Dou Sheng were guarding the exit, but they relaxed when they saw that the person who came was Hun Xuzi.
Hun Xuzi didn't say much to them, only exchanging glances, before taking Li Changqing and flying deeper into the Soul World.
On a plaza deep within the Hun Clan's territory, numerous powerful figures had gathered, and even Li Changqing felt a sense of oppression.
In the very center was a man dressed in white, tall and slender, with a handsome face, who looked to be around thirty years old, giving off the air of a refined scholar.
He was sitting cross-legged in the very center of the square, his body seemingly filled with extremely powerful energy.
This powerful energy was surging wildly inside him, already tearing several cracks in his skin, from which trickles Sisi blood seeped out.
He was circulating his Dou Qi, seemingly suppressing something within his body.
Several powerful figures, all of whom were seven-star or eight-star Dou Sheng, sat cross-legged around him.
These Dou Sheng were channeling their Battle Dou Qi into the white-robed man's body to help him suppress what was inside him.
Meanwhile, on the periphery, many more powerful figures were constantly watching, all centered around the man in white.
There was another person with a strong aura and the cultivation of Nine-Star Dou Sheng, staring intently at the man in white.
He appeared to be a middle-aged man dressed in black, his body wreathed in black flames, his eyes like black holes, radiating a devouring power, and his aura was strange and ancient.
The man in white was none other than the Hun Tiandi, and what he was suppressing was the violent energy of Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill.
The middle-aged man surrounded by black flames possessed the Void Devouring Flame, the second-ranked Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Rankings, known as the Flame that devours heaven and earth.
Inside the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion Tuoshe, in order to break through the encirclement of Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun, Hun Tiandi had no choice but to forcibly take the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill.
Only then did they break through the blockade imposed by Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun, and return to the Soul World.
However, the side effects are also enormous. The embryonic core is not yet complete. If it is forcibly refined, the success rate of breaking through to the Dou Di is not high. Once it fails, the Hun Tiandi's thousand years of hard work will be in vain.
However, the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill remained within the body, and its violent energy threatened to burst the body.
That's why the Hun Tiandi chose to gather the power of the Hun Clan's strongest members to help him suppress the violent energy of the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill.
Upon seeing this scene, Li Changqing suddenly remembered.
In the original story, the entire process of accelerating the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill place within the Hun Tiandi's body. How could he possibly steal it?
Could it be that after the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill- Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill matures, they'll eat the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill along with the Hun Tiandi he's refined it, like a snack?
Thinking of this, Li Changqing felt a tremor in his heart and shook his head repeatedly.
Li Changqing might be okay with eating other things, but the Hun Tiandi was human, and he was somewhat hesitant about eating people.
Li Changqing's eyes flickered. He needed to find a way to make the Hun Tiandi spit out the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill.
In the square, seeing that Hun Xuzi had brought Li Changqing here, apart from Hun Tiandi, who was focused on suppressing the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill Hun Tiandi, and other powerful members of the Hun Clan, everyone else turned their attention to Li Changqing.
