This was a barren wilderness. The sky overhead was a murky gray, without sun or stars, and chill winds moaned through it from time to time.
Incomplete soul bodies occasionally wandered across the plains. They had already lost their consciousness and knew only to devour one another by instinct, until they finally became an entirely new soul body.
Just then, the void suddenly twisted, and several figures abruptly appeared within it...
The five people emerging from the spatial passage were Chen Xuan and his companions. At the sight of the desolate landscape, Chen Xuan's gaze shifted slightly as he surveyed his surroundings. He did not descend to the ground, however. After all, this was an unfamiliar secret realm, and there was no telling what dangers lurked here.
"Is this the Soul-Refining Secret Realm? It doesn't seem all that dangerous."
Excitement shone in the beautiful eyes of Hong Yin, Venerable Xuan Yin's daughter. Looking at the remnant souls wandering across the vast plains, she said, "If they're all at this level, I'll destroy as many as come!"
"This should be the outer region of the Soul-Refining Secret Realm. The remnant souls here are only as strong as Dou Wangs or Dou Emperors. I'm afraid the deeper we go, the stronger the soul bodies will become!" A trace of gravity appeared on Yun Yun's exquisite face. She could sense the peculiar nature of this secret realm. Ever since entering it, her soul power had seemed unusually active, as though it were growing at a minute rate.
Judging by that, this world was truly far from simple. It was probably a small world created by a Dou Sheng Expert in the Ancient Era.
"So these are the so-called soul bodies?"
"I wonder just how much of a boost they can provide!"
