Unable to Take Them Away
It seems that the souls in this planetary belt are not the conventional souls that Yi Xuan is familiar with.
At the very least, those supernatural methods of sensing souls had no effect on them.
Fortunately, although these souls are a bit strange.
But the most fundamental things haven't changed.
This is also why Yi Xuan was able to discover them using quantum methods.
After several attempts, Venerable Yuan used the frequency provided by Yi Xuan to capture a soul from outside.
After trying for a long time, the two of them still couldn't do anything about the soul.
Neither the methods of the Cultivation Realm nor the methods of immortals seemed to have any effect on this soul.
It can't even achieve the simplest form of manifestation.
That's awkward!
In other words, without adjusting their Divine Sense frequency, neither Yi Xuan nor Venerable Yuan could accurately locate the soul.
Under the Divine Sense of the two, the soul seemed to be acting like a madman, constantly wailing.
He completely ignored whatever Ren Venerable Yuan said to him.
I had originally planned to find out the reason for the collapse of the Immortal Court from the souls.
However, this unyielding spirit truly left Venerable Yuan at a loss.
Therefore, Yi Xuan made a decisive decision to return to the starting point.
Anyway, the soul can't escape.
Even if cultivation methods don't work, Yi Xuan still has technological means.
He simply couldn't believe that the technology he had quietly developed for 50,000 years couldn't handle a mad soul.
Nothing else happened on the way back.
The entire spatial jump went very smoothly.
But when the Dawn completely left the asteroid belt, Yi Xuan and Venerable Yuan were completely dumbfounded.
The soul that had been so calm and collected throughout the journey had vanished!
Before Mingming's final spatial jump, Yi Xuan glanced at him with concern.
But when the Dawn disengaged from its space jump state, the soul simply vanished?
What's going on?
The Dawn completed its self-check in less than a second.
However, Yi Xuan's conclusion was that the unknown soul was not found on the entire warship!
"What happened? The soul has disappeared?"
Like Yi Xuan, Venerable Yuan also looked puzzled.
This situation was completely beyond his comprehension; he had never encountered anything like it, not even when he was Guiding Golden Immortal.
Once again adjusting his Divine Sense to that special frequency, Venerable Yuan's Divine Sense instantly extended outwards.
But the area around the Dawn was completely empty.
No! There aren't any outside either!
Just as Yi Xuan was about to extend his Divine Sense, a soft exclamation interrupted him.
It's Venerable Yuan!
At this moment, Venerable Yuan looked completely astonished.
"Strange! The soul that enveloped the Dawn has also disappeared!"
"Um?"
Upon hearing Venerable Yuan's words, Yi Xuan extended his Divine Sense without hesitation.
Just as he predicted, the outside was completely empty.
Sensing the situation outside the Dawn, Yi Xuan seemed to have realized something.
With the issuance of an order.
The Dawn actually initiated another space jump towards the asteroid belt.
When it came to a stop, the Dawn had reached the edge of the planetary belt.
This time, however, the Dawn did not continue jumping.
Instead, it plunged headlong into the asteroid belt at normal cruising speed.
However, Dawn did not venture deeper; it stopped as soon as it entered the asteroid belt.
"Try again!"
Yi Xuan's voice reached Yuan Zu's ears directly.
Their Divine Sense simultaneously extended beyond the spaceship.
It's the soul!
Countless wailing souls appeared once more.
Yi Xuan withdrew his Divine Sense and nodded in satisfaction.
It seems my guess was right; these souls only exist in this vast asteroid belt.
Therefore, the soul may not have actually disappeared.
Rather, it's because it belongs to the asteroid belt and cannot be carried out.
Venerable Yuan clearly didn't think as complicatedly as Yi Xuan.
As his Divine Sense was withdrawn, another soul appeared in the control room, wailing in agony.
Looking at that soul, Venerable Yuan was filled with excitement.
"This time it should be fine, let's go! Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on this guy this time!"
Yi Xuan did not reject Venerable Yuan's proposal.
After all, his thoughts were just guesses, and he could use this soul to verify them.
Therefore, Yi Xuan No. 01 to control the Dawn and leave the planetary belt at a very normal speed.
Both Yi Xuan and Venerable Yuan stared intently at the wailing soul.
Suddenly, the soul vanished again.
The speed at which they disappeared caught even Venerable Yuan off guard.
"Gone? How did it disappear again?"
Seeing the somewhat flustered Venerable Yuan, Yi Xuan remained remarkably calm.
The situation is now quite clear.
Although he didn't know how they did it, Yi Xuan was certain that these souls were simply unable to leave the planetary belt.
Even after being taken in by the Dawn, this remained the case.
The moment Dawn passed through the planetary belt and emerged.
The souls captured and brought aboard the Dawn will be blocked in the asteroid belt by an unknown force.
Under these circumstances, Yi Xuan had no choice but to issue the order to return.
It wasn't that he didn't want to explore the secrets of this planetary belt.
Based on their understanding, he and Venerable Yuan were truly helpless here.
Therefore, we can only go back and reconsider.
Yi Xuan believed that as long as he understood the situation of these trapped souls...
The truth behind the collapse of the Immortal Court will also come to light.
Just like when he came, it took Yi Xuan nearly two more months to traverse the asteroid belt.
It took a month to bring the asteroid back to its Mother Planet.
This round trip took a full six months.
Meanwhile, the restoration work on the Mother Planet progressed rapidly under the control of the Evil Corpse during these six months.
The planet that seemed on the verge of collapse had long since vanished.
What appeared before Yi Xuan was a giant steel sphere.
The metallic sheen of that surface against the backdrop of space speaks volumes about the fact that the Mother Planet can never return to its former state.
Because Yi Xuan never intended to restore the Mother Planet to its original state from the very beginning.
After all, the Mother Planet had been damaged to that extent during the entire Bullet Plan.
Instead of expending tremendous effort to restore a planet that is terminally ill, it would be more practical to find a new one.
Therefore, Yi Xuan made a surprising decision.
Based on the dilapidated state of their Mother Planet, build a planet-sized space fortress!
With this space fortress, future development will be much smoother.
This also gave Yi Xuan more confidence in terms of ability.
Most importantly, the situation at the destination was somewhat different from what I had expected.
Although no impact has been detected yet, Yi Xuan still made preparations just in case.
In case of danger, the space fortress can be an excellent tool for escape.
From almost every perspective, transforming the Mother Planet into a space fortress would be entirely beneficial.
Of course, saying it this way would be too absolute.
Because for humans, the space fortress does indeed have one drawback.
Unable to continue cultivating immortality!
