Inside the dim room, Chen Cang blocked out all the wails coming from the square before carefully examining the things the Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Venerates had given him.
With a slight movement of his fingertips, a pitch-black chain over ten feet long appeared before him. As his gaze swept across it, he vaguely felt a strange sensation, as though even his soul were being drawn toward it.
"It's somewhat similar to the Soul-Locking Chains in the square. They should be made from the same material, but this one clearly suppresses souls far more effectively..."
He brushed his palm over the Soul Lock, and a cool sensation immediately spread through his hand. After feeling it out briefly, Chen Cang gained a rough understanding.
If the Soul-Locking Chains in the square were ordinary iron, then this Soul Lock was refined iron essence, with effects more than ten times as powerful.
After examining it, Chen Cang closed his eyes. His soul power quietly spread outward and seeped into the Soul Lock, inspecting every corner in meticulous detail.
He repeated this inspection five or six times. Only after confirming that nothing unwanted lurked inside did he relax.
Then he turned his hand over, and the Soul Lock Refinement Method appeared from his Storage Ring.
After studying it carefully, Chen Cang discovered that refining the Soul Lock was not difficult. He only needed to leave a soul imprint within it to use it normally. It would simply feel awkward at first, requiring him to persistently nurture and refine it with soul power before he could wield it as naturally as his own arm.
