The Origins of the Organization from Beyond the Domain
Lu Qing'an and Dao of Alchemy Master went to the pond together and arrived at the Demon God Mother Tree.
Dao of Alchemy Master took out an iron kettle from his storage space. This iron kettle was very similar to the watering can used to water flowers that Lu Qing'an remembered.
"One incense stick's worth of medicine is sprinkled on each time, and the soul should be awakened in about an hour."
"OK."
Lu Qing'an stood to the side, watching Dao of Alchemy Master perform the procedure.
An hour passed quickly.
An hour later, Dao of Alchemy Master stopped. The iron pot in his hand was empty of medicine, and he put it away.
"It's about time, isn't it?" Dao of Alchemy Master calculated for a moment, then stared intently at the Demon God Mother Tree before him.
Logically speaking, the soul should have been able to awaken by now.
Lu Qing'an's eyes flashed red. The Demon God Mother Tree in his gaze had not changed, but through the surface of the Demon God Mother Tree, he could see that the soul inside was now emitting a faint green light.
It's very similar to the healing status in a game.
About half an incense stick's time later, the soul that had never moved before in Lu Qing'an's eyes stirred slightly.
It felt like the eyelid of a person in a vegetative state twitched.
"It seems ready!" Dao of Alchemy Master reminded him.
Lu Qing'an nodded and walked to the Demon God Mother Tree.
"Wake up."
His words were like the whispers of a god, exuding an alluring charm.
The soul implanted within the Demon God Mother Tree suddenly awakened!
"Hoo!" The soul let out a sound like a long breath.
Lu Qing'an asked, "Awake?"
"This is... right!"
The soul seemed to awaken from a deep dream, quickly recalling what had happened.
Lu Qing'an let the soul float out from the Demon God Mother Tree.
A wisp of soul floated in the void and stopped in front of Lu Qing'an.
This soul is like a lump of jelly. Unlike before when it was full of cracks, now it only has a few dozen small cracks left. Moreover, these cracks are as if they are stitched together by a faint green light, and it is in a state of slow repair.
"Alright, I've spared your life. Now you can give me the answer I want."
Lu Qing'an didn't want to waste any more words; he needed all the information about that mysterious organization.
"I can tell you everything I know, but could you please help me find a human body if you have the chance later?" the soul asked weakly.
She didn't dare to speak too forcefully to Lu Qing'an, and her tone was somewhat pitiful, making what seemed like a request more like a plea.
"As long as the information you provide satisfies me, I will leave behind the body when I kill someone later," Lu Qing'an said calmly.
"Okay! Thanks! Go ahead and ask me!"
Lu Qing'an did not ask immediately, but instead asked Dao of Alchemy Master to leave first.
Dao of Alchemy Master's lips twitched; he wanted to know too!
But seeing the look in Lu Qing'an's eyes, he could only leave helplessly in the end.
Lu Qing'an then said, "Tell me where you're from first."
"We come from the Divine Continent, a much more advanced continent than the Cangyun Continent, what you call the extraterrestrial realm," the soul quickly replied.
"The Divine Continent?"
Upon hearing this name, Lu Qing'an sensed that this continent was no ordinary place.
Are people from mainland China very strong?
The soul said, "Generally, you are much stronger than the people of the Cangyun Continent, but you are an exception. Your strength is quite impressive even in the Divine Continent."
Pretty good?
It seems that even with his cultivation level increased several times over, he is only considered powerful on the Cangyun Continent, and only average on the Divine Continent.
Of course, that's only a few times the cultivation level.
Why have you come here? How did you get here?
"It wasn't that we wanted to come to your Cangyun Continent; our arrival here was purely by fortuitous opportunity. Our original destination was the Sin-Cleansing Continent, a prison established by the Divine Continent to imprison and purify criminals from the Divine Continent. After we were captured, we were transported there by the Divine Crossing Flying Ship, under the supervision of the supervisors."
"Just as we were passing by, a man and a woman were fighting an ominous creature in the outer void. The Divine Crossing Flying Ship was initially affected, but under the control of the supervisor, it returned to its predetermined trajectory. We thought the Divine Crossing Flying Ship was over, but unexpectedly, it was hit by attacks from both sides and was destroyed, crashing into the Cangyun Continent."
Lu Qing'an frowned upon hearing this.
Prison? Criminals? Someone fighting outside the territory?
He was naturally free to go to the outer realms, and had done so several times. Anyone who could fight in the outer realms had to be at least as strong as him now.
In other words, there might be someone on the Cangyun Continent with the same strength as him?
That's not right either; the people fighting aren't necessarily from the Cangyun Continent.
"The regulator you're talking about, is it this thing?" Lu Qing'an suddenly appeared in front of him and took out the energy ball.
"Coo coo." The energy entity made a sound.
The soul retreated slightly for a moment.
"That's right! It's the regulator!"
Lu Qing'an immediately put the energy body away.
So this thing is called a Regulator.
"As expected, you've captured this overseer. It was severely injured after being caught in the crossfire of that powerful attack. In addition, the Divine Crystal in the Divine Crossing Flying Ship were lost and scattered in various places. Without the supply of Divine Crystal, this overseer has been sleeping in the Heavenfall Demon Cavern," the soul said.
Lu Qing'an heard another unusual term and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Is this the kind of Divine Crystal you're talking about?"
He lightly tapped the soul with his finger, transferring a memory.
"That's right, these are Divine Crystal, the top Cultivation Resources of the Divine Continent. Originally fuel for the Divine Crossing Flying Ship and a resource for the supervisors to maintain their strength, they are now scattered throughout the Demon Domain."
Lu Qing'an pondered for a moment, then said, "You are all prisoners, now in a soul state. Is it the other way around that prisoners are dealt with—their souls are extracted and they are sent to prison? Also, tell me more about your organization, especially the Holy Master you mentioned."
"We were indeed stripped of our physical bodies, making us easier to monitor. On the Sin-Cleansing Continent, there were no physical bodies for us to use. As for the Holy Lord, he was the strongest among all the prisoners' souls. He and his entire Holy Spirit Organization were captured. After the Divine Crossing Flying Ship crashed into this world, he and his subordinates killed the other prisoners' souls. I possess special methods and infiltrated among them, remaining undetected until now, though he has used a special secret technique to control me."
A cold glint flashed in Lu Qing'an's eyes as he said, "In other words, now, apart from you, all the extraterrestrial souls are members of their organization."
"That's right."
"Come, tell me in detail about this Holy Lord, what he did before, and what he plans to do next."
Having heard this, Lu Qing'an had a general idea of what was going on with these souls.
"This Holy Lord was originally a very powerful figure; when his physical body was still intact, he was even stronger than you are now," the soul said truthfully, staring at Lu Qing'an.
