Deep in the Sea of Ruins, inside a secluded undersea cave.
Loa sat cross-legged in the deepest part of the cave. The Middle-Grade Soul Treasure hovered in his sea of souls, constantly emitting unusual soul fluctuations.
The fluctuations spread like ripples across water, washing over his sea of souls in successive rings.
Whenever a fluctuation swept past, the four sword-shaped souls deep within his soul hummed faintly, like ancient instruments awakened to answer a melody only they could understand.
His three Divine Clones sat cross-legged beneath the four soul swords, cultivating with their eyes closed, greedily absorbing every wisp of soul essence that escaped from the Soul Treasure.
Time slipped by in cultivation, and a month soon passed.
During that time, Loa and the others picked up their pace, constantly exploring new areas.
Wangcai and Talos worked together with increasing coordination. While Loa cultivated in seclusion, the two teamed up to hunt Soul Beasts and search for Soul Treasures.
They had killed no fewer than a hundred Soul Beasts during this period, accumulating a bag full of Seven-Star Demon-level Soul Crystals.
They had even encountered a Prefecture Lord-level expert along the way, and a considerable clash had erupted over a Soul Beast Emperor's Soul Crystal.
That Prefect cultivated the Fire Element Laws and had a ferocious temper, attacking at the slightest disagreement.
Loa intervened and drove the fellow back, and his reputation began spreading through the depths of the Ruins Sea.
A mysterious Prefecture Lord-level expert who wielded unusual blue-black divine power-this description began circulating among the experts searching for Soul Treasures.

The Middle-Grade Soul Treasure constantly nourished his four soul swords. With his comprehension enhanced, he had made considerable progress in fusing his laws.
