Chapter 513: The Third Sky of Sky Realm！

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Having heard what Leng Dan Qing said, Han Cui changed her face as she was filled with worry.

Since Bei Si was still affected by the Vanish Mind Smoke and he had recognized something wrong, he returned to the Banner family at his fastest speed, not daring to linger. It would be easier to release the Vanish Mind Smoke at home.

Shi Yan was also poisoned, but he was still here. It seemed he was at the important threshold of the new realm.

The Vanish Mind Smoke would become stronger with time. At that moment, Shi Yan would hardly press down his desire, and he would do evil things that his mind always prevented him from doing in regular situations.

What made the two women frightened was also poison, but not the Vanish Mind Smoke. However, it was also a deadly one when it confined their powers. At this moment, they weren't different from normal people. Even if they ran away, they couldn't run far enough.

The Ghost Hunter, the Devouring Gold Silkworm, and the King of Demonic Insects, the three intimidating evil creatures were guarding Shi Yan. Even if they wanted to tie him, they had no way. So now, they could only worry about themselves but have no solution.

"Retribution. . ."

The beautiful eyes of Han Cui reflected her mournful mood. She wanted to cry. Stunned and begrudging, she sighed. Leng Dan Qing was the same. She was uneasy, but couldn't find a solution. She could only look at Shi Yan with her stomach in knots.

Shi Yan didn't recognize the two flurried ample-built women as he was still sinking in the Death Intent Domain to comprehend the true meaning of death.

After Ning Qi Shan died, his Essence Qi had absorbed into Shi Yan's body. While he still perceived the power of death, the mysterious martial spirit in his body had soon been working, magically filtering the negative energies constantly arising from the bottom of his heart, which affected his mind.

The Vanish Mind Smoke had stirred up the desire deep down in his heart. This sort of attraction that came from the soul could make anyone crazy. Moreover, when it contacted the negative feelings, it was like thunder meeting the flame of the earth. Once it started, it was hard to stop.

Gradually, Shi Yan's pupils became as hot as fire. He started to pant.

Han Cui and Leng Dan Qing became more frightened. They instinctively avoided the young man, retreating deeper into the forest to lengthen the distance with Shi Yan. They hoped that at the moment Shi Yan woke up from his realm comprehension, if he didn't see them, he would spare them.

Han Cui and Leng Dan Qing all knew that when an Ice Jade Technique practitioner lost her purity, breaking through to the peak of this technique was harder than finding the way to heaven.

As they understood the nature of the Ice Jade Technique well, although these two beautiful women weren't young anymore, they still stayed virgin.

They had never experienced intimacy before. The provocation they had made was just to show off. When the real thing came, they felt scared.

Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu hadn't arrived yet, as they were still chasing after Yu Li Ming. They wouldn't come back shortly. This made the two attractive women more flurried. They'd used all the strength left in them to hide in the thick forest.

Time flew in this sort of a bizarre atmosphere.

Shi Yan was immersed in the center of the Death Intent Domain, and he had spent a long time there. Later on, he seemed to recognize something when his majestic body suddenly shivered, as a radiant divine light bloomed out from his eyes.

A warm water current flowed, rippling in his entire body from his Sea of Consciousness... The Profound Qi Halo in his abdomen was urged to thrive. The Ancient Profound Qi in there had another growth.

Third Sky of Sky Realm!

When the realm was broken through, the most direct marker was the enlargement of the Ancient Profound Qi tree, which helped him store more Qi. This pushed his power progression to a larger scale!

The Ancient Profound Qi Tree changed, which meant he had made another step into the new realm, the Third Sky of Sky Realm, the most strenuous and mysterious of the sky realm.

At the moment his body was changed, and his Sea of Consciousness was shaken many times... Flows of Soul Consciousness were formed one after another. The essence Qi of earth and firmament was like it was dragged massively into his body, entering his Sea of Consciousness to help it refine and condense.

His Sea of Consciousness expanded a little more. Each strand of Soul Consciousness became pure, as a brilliance sparkled in his Sea of Consciousness, releasing some kind of divine light, entering people's mind.

His host soul in the Sea of Consciousness was tangled with the strands of pure Soul Consciousness, receiving the energy from them. The shortcomings of the host soul were healed, while the power of the host soul gradually increased.

Overall growth!

At the moment when a warrior entered a new realm, his body, Sea of Consciousness, and host soul would be all enhanced. Even his martial spirit could break through too.

A new world came with new chances for new abilities. This was what attracted countless warriors on their cultivating path.

Shi Yan's eyes shimmered while sensing the changes of his body. Gradually, the negative desires affected him. From deep down at the bottom of his heart, an urging voice was calling him, asking him to release his desires. The negative desires broke his rationality easily.

Vanish Mind Smoke piled up with the negative feelings created the desires at their frightening acme that he, a man with a firm will, couldn't oppress at all and fell into them.

His eyes were like they were sparking fire. His Soul Consciousness was released strand by strand, and soon, he found Han Cui and Leng Dan Qing.

Without any hesitation, he turned into a bunch of lightning, gliding through the big ancient trees in the forest. Immediately, he found Han Cui and Leng Dan Qing. Naked desire twinkled in his eyes, as his gaze made the two women shiver in fear, with their minds trembling.

"Nooo!"

Han Cui couldn't hold her scream. She was constantly retreating with distress on her face.

The soft, plump body of Leng Dan Qing was shaking as well.

She felt Shi Yan's eyes were piercing through her as if she was standing there naked in front of him. This feeling made her soul restless. Under Shi Yan's gaze, her heart was overwhelmed with fear.

Once she lost her virginity, it would be really tough to break through her Ice Jade Technique again. The hope to enter the True God Realm would be out of reach.

The dream she had been chasing strenuously for her whole life was related to the purity of her body. If Shi Yan took her this time, she would never have the chance to surpass Bing Qing Tong, and she could only be one of the Elders of the Ice Emperor.

Although she kept the company with Han Cui, she had her own calculation. The City Master position, she also wanted it...

"ROAR!"

Shi Yan roared like a beast, storming forward and snatching Leng Dan Qing's body.

Swash Swash

The tearing sound of brocade clothing arose. Shi Yan had ripped Leng Dan Qing's dress off. She was helpless. After only five seconds, she turned into a naked beauty, revealing her jade-white, porcelain-like charming body that could dazzle people.

The ample milky bosom, the straight, slender thighs...

Her breasts were full and large, that he couldn't hold with one hand. Deadly attraction flickered from these treasures that could drive any man crazy instantly.

One hand of her was covering her left breast while the other hand was hiding her fragranced grassland. Her face was depressed, innocent and lovely at the same time. She backed off constantly.

Standing in front of her was Shi Yan, who had lost his mind.

What happened next, one didn't need to guess.

Shi Yan stormed over like a wild beast, backing her against an ancient tree. He didn't respect her at all, claiming her right breast which was exposed. Shi Yan grabbed the little red dot eagerly, while his other hand caressed her arrogant rear end.

Han Cui blushed and screamed ear-splittingly to wake Shi Yan's up.

Unfortunately, Shi Yan was no different from a wild beast at this moment. He ignored her frightened scream, continuing his dark deed on Leng Dan Qing's creamy body.

Right in front of Han Cui, Shi Yan's clothes exploded like leaves, scattering around his uniting lofty body and Leng Dan Qing's porcelain-like body.

The carefree, pleasure scream and the mournful cry sounded at the same time in the forest.BANG!

An evil power detached from the black iron puppet War Devil. Dark light columns as big as an arm were storming like crazy snakes from hell. Yu Li Ming got hit in the air, spurting out blood.

A bunch of icicles appeared around Yu Li Ming, stabbing him directly.

As Yu Li Ming got hit by the War Devil, blood sprayed out from his body like a shower. Then, the icicles stabbed him. Even though his body was wounded severely, Yu Li Ming didn't dare to stop, shouting with a ferocious face, "You two bitches, I will make you wish that you'd rather die than staying alive!"

Purple and green mist exuded. Some kinds of nemesis energies bustled inside Yu Li Ming's body and then exploded, rippling out in the mist.

Blood splashed everywhere, as Yu Li Ming disappeared into thin air. Even his aura vanished.

The War Devil paused for a while, then strode toward Shi Yan's general direction.

Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu were worried. They sensed in the direction Yu Li Ming disappeared, but they understood well that with their cultivation base, they couldn't find him.

As they had no other choice, they could only get back to the forest, flying together with the War Devil towards Shi Yan's location.

"Ah..."

They hadn't even come near them yet when a series of embarrassing, tender sounds reddened them. This kind of sound made them feel itchy and uncomfortable inside.

"It's..."

Bing Qing Tong was shocked, looking unknowingly at that direction. She frowned, flying towards it.

Shuang Yu Zhu followed her, flying towards the source of the noise.

When they arrived, the two cold, arrogant, beautiful women blushed, standing stunned at their spot. In the forest, a live, vulgar play was showing vehemently with only one audience, who was constantly screaming.

Chapter 514: One to resist three

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

A naked young man was thrusting his member passionately into a snow-white, mature body. Standing near them was another beautiful woman. Her face was filled with fear as it was blushing. The woman was constantly screaming.

After Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu arrived, they were stunned at first glance.

"Second sister, what's going on..."

Bing Qing Tong was terrified. She wanted to separate the couple while her soul numbed and her tender body shivered.

"Don't!"

Han Cui shouted.

The Ghost Hunter, the King of Demonic Insects, the Devouring Gold Silkworm stayed near. The three flows of evil aura concentrated on Bing Qing Tong all of a sudden.

Even the War Devil had exuded his sinister aura as he was guarding his master.

"Ah… Why? Why did it happen like this? Why!"

Shuang Yu Zhu was shocked, shaking her head again and again, her face blushed. She didn't know what to do.

"He got affected by the Vanish Mind Smoke. The poison has burst out..." Han Cui explained. "These demonic beasts don't allow anyone to come near him. Don't act rashly... Wait until he releases himself, he'll wake up. Everything's fine then. No matter what, don't move."

Bei Si's and Shuang Yu Zhu's bright eyes flickered uncertainly at this moment. Even their necks reddened as they didn't know what to do now.

"Big Sister, Second Sister, help...help me..."

Leng Dan Qing panted while her creamy body glowed beautifully.

"Sister, we, we don't have any plan..."

Han Cui retracted her neck, looking at the King of Demonic Insects and the Ghost Hunter with great panic. Her tender body shivered, and her eyes glinted, not daring to look at her younger sister.

As Leng Dan Qing listened to her, she fell into despair. Her body was trembling harder.

"Big sister, Fourth Sister, you two... seems like you two got the Vanish Mind Smoke too?" Han Cui was bewildered. She seemed to recall something, as she paled and shouted.

Right after that, Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu discolored.

Seemed like the woman's words had stirred up something in them. Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu turned differently. Watching the hot scene in front of their eyes, the two women couldn't help but feel hot, as if numerous worms were tickling their bodies, making them feel so strange.

Shuang Yu Zhu couldn't help but press her thighs together. Her body swayed, quickly turning reddish.

"Go, go..."

It seemed a voice was calling her, urging her to walk towards Shi Yan to join that disgusting scene.

Shi Yan's lofty body was naked. At this moment, in Bing Qing Tong's and Shuang Yu Zhu's eyes, he somehow got some sort of divine halo covering him. Each muscle of his was so attractive that could make every woman worship him.

"Big Sister, Fourth Sister, you guys..." Han Cui was surprised. "Can you control it?"

"Sister, do you have any solution?" Bing Qing Tong felt so hot inside that she couldn't press it down. Her breath was warm, but she couldn't restrain the unknown desire in the bottom of her heart.

Han Cui was also terrified, shaking her head, "I don't know. I really don't know. This poison seems to aim at the feelings inside. Normal antidote won't work. I have no solution."

Han Cui couldn't even cry although she regretted it the most. She had never expected things to accelerate to this point.

"So hot. . ."

Shuang Yu Zhu whined like she was dreaming... Her clear, cold pupils gradually dulled. A moment later, sexual passion appeared on her face. She seemed to be urged by an unknown force, walking towards Shi Yan. She started to take off her clothes. A slim body that gave people a sense of perfection slowly revealed in the forest.

"Fourth sister!"

Bing Qing Tong screamed.

It seemed that Shuang Yu Zhu didn't hear her, walking forward step by step just like she was under a spell. Then, she hugged Shi Yan from behind, using her beautiful bosom to caress his back. She appeared to receive great pleasure from that; her moaning made people's heart speed up.

As Bing Qing Tong was watching her, she felt so hot inside that she couldn't restrain it. Even her Ice Jade Technique couldn't solve this desire. She felt annoyingly itchy.

"Big Sister, you ... What are you doing!"

Amidst the ear-splitting scream of Han Cui, Bing Qing Tong acted like she was dream-walking, slowly strolling forward while taking off each piece of her clothing. Her extremely beautiful body exposed in the forest.

Han Cui bewilderedly watched her sister join Shuang Yu Zhu like the group of Naginis tangling him.

Long after that…

Han Cui had her legs softened, sitting on the ground as if she had lost her soul, looking ahead of her.

Under a big ancient tree, one naked man and three women were entangled, as a strange aroma exuded from them.

"Well?"

Shi Yan suddenly sighed. His eyelashes convulsed, as he detached himself from the jade-like thighs and snow-white arms, looking around dully then stuttering.

"Ah!"

He cried out in panic, jumping out of the embrace of the three hot bodies that could bleed any men's nose. Shi Yan stammered, "What... What... What happened?"

His body trembled. He looked at Han Cui and asked with a low tone. "What have you done to me?"

Han Cui's stupefied eyes lit up as she gradually got herself together. She was shocked for a while before she could speak up again. "You… What did you say?"

"Did you seize the chance when I was comprehending the truth of the power to take over my body?" Shi Yan's face darkened. He slightly turned his head to throw a glance at Bing Qing Tong, Leng Dan Qing, and Shuang Yu Zhu, who were still together. His eyes lingered on the bodies of the three magnificent women, but his voice was so serious like he had never used before. "Even if you had a wild scheme on me, you wouldn't need to do that. Three at once... Didn't you think it was too much? I had just had a big fight, how could I endure that? So excessive… I know you guys are unhappy women, but you should at least control yourself, right?"

Then, Shi Yan snorted, rolling his eyes at Han Cui. "Do you want to take action with me too? I'm warning you, I'm not an easy guy. I won't concern the case when I wasn't conscious. But now that I've wakened up, you can't do anything rash with me. Even if you want to do that... Well... You have to wait for a while until I can restore my strength."

Han Cui was petrified.

If she could use her strength now, perhaps she would have risked everything to tear off Shi Yan's body.

Too shameless!

Obviously, he had had the extreme pleasure, but now he retorted just like he had to bear loss at an unhappy event. This kid was extremely shameless. Such a thick skin, much thicker than his own power.

"Well, did I say anything wrong?" Shi Yan curled his lips. "I'm still young. This time, I've fallen into the wolves' lair. You female wolves have tortured me. I have suffered a great loss."

"You, you're flagrant!" Han Cui finally screamed, pointing at Shi Yan's face and scolded. "You're exaggerating. You dare say that to us? You b*stard! I'm going to kill you!"

Then, Han Cui didn't mind her manners or elegant bearings, storming like a vixen towards him.

"Second Sister. . ."

Right at this moment, Bing Qing Tong tenderly called her as she was getting up from the ancient tree, putting her clothes on quickly and combing her messy hair. She shook her head, signaling Han Cui to stop.

She sighed, as Han Cui halted, speaking sobbingly. "Sister, this b*stard...this b*stard..."

"Oh. . ."

Leng Dan Qing and Shuang Yu Zhu gradually woke up. As soon as they recognized the situation, they confusingly put their clothes on, then throwing Shi Yan a murderous look.

If their looks could kill, Shi Yan should have been dismembered into eight pieces.

"Why are you looking me like that?" Shi Yan snorted. Apparently, he didn't want to admit his mistake. "I was perceiving my new realm and you took the chance when I was careless. The three of you joined hands and bullied me. You've exhausted me. Now you want to kill me to make me shut up? I'm telling you, although I'm not fully vigorous now, I'm not afraid of you. Don't you dare to dream about turning me into your gigolo? I have big dreams. I don't want to be worn out in this Ice Emperor City to death."

"I'm going to die with you!"

Leng Dan Qing shouted. A flow of cold air gushed out of her body, as a five-meter ice dragon soared up to the sky.

"F*ck that. You do have viper's venom. You're turning your back to me after you've done with me." Shi Yan grinned oddly, taking a step back. The Earth Flame flew out from the Blood Vein Ring.

The five-meter ice dragon bumped into the Earth Flame, immediately turning into a sparkling drop of water, falling into the forest.

"You're shameless, indeed..." The Ice Cold Flame sent him a message.

"I have no choice. As things have come to this, I can only be shameless to not be more embarrassed. At least they won't have their hearts broken. Putting resentment on me, it could help reduce their pain and sorrow. I have good intention. And, whether they appreciate it or not, I can't control it."

"They will hate you for the rest of their lives..."

"It's okay. I'll leave soon. We won't have a chance to meet up again. Let them hate me."

"Third Sister, stop!" Bing Qing Tong shouted.

Leng Dan Qing's face was gloomy, looking at Shi Yan. "You deserve ten thousand death sentences! It's you, you forced and raped me. I will never train my Ice Jade Technique to the peak. I want to kill you!"

"Third Sister, check your Ice Jade Technique to see if it has any changes." Bing Qing Tong glared at Shi Yan furiously, then shouted. "Can you be a little bit upright? Do not provoke them furthermore. You've taken it all… What else do you want?"

Although Bing Qing Tong's tone was filled with grudges, her manners toward Shi Yan had more traits of humans, not as cold as ice like before.

Under the scrutinizing look, Shi Yan was somewhat afraid, as he suddenly had a feeling that this woman could see through him. Eventually, he nodded embarrassingly and didn't continue his crazy talk.

"Oh hey... My Ice Jade Technique. It seems...seems..." Leng Dan Qing sensed her body for a while, her eyes strange.

Bing Qing Tong was shaken. She turned to Shuang Yu Zhu and told her. "Fourth Sister, you should sense and see if your Ice Jade Technique has some changes, too."

Shuang Yu Zhu gritted her teeth, throwing a furious look at Shi Yan then sensed her body. After a while, her tender body trembled as she cried. "My Ice Jade Technique, it didn't step backward, but it seems... It seems to have broken through one more level! Ah!"

"Me too!" cried Leng Dan Qing.

"Indeed," Bing Qing Tong screamed with her low tone. Her eyes twinkled, gazing at Shi Yan. "We have the same changes. Our Ice Jade Technique has progressed."

Chapter 515: I was also virgin ~~~

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Leng Dan Qing and Shuang Yu Zhu were shocked in the middle of their thunder fury. Han Cui wore a surprised face, looking at Shi Yan, who was pretty calm now, with doubt filled in her heart, "What are you guys talking about?"

"Han Cui, their Ice Jade Technique wasn't sluggish, but has advanced somehow." The beautiful eyes of Bing Qing Tong sparkled with a strange light as she blushed. "After this incident, we don't know why our Technique wasn't held back, but it has a good progress now."

"Ah?"

Han Cui covered her mouth, and couldn't help but exclaim tenderly, her face disbelieving.

Shi Yan beamed a faint smile, retreating the Earth Flame, the Devouring Gold Silk, and the King of Demonic Insects into the Blood Vein Ring.

While killing Ning Qi Shan, Shi Yan had sunk into his Death Intent Domain and wasn't be aware of the surrounding situation. At the same time, his mysterious martial spirit had filtered Ning Qi Shan's essence Qi into the strange energy necessary for warriors.

After he had been skin to skin with Leng Dan Qing, Shuang Yu Zhu, and Bing Qing Tong, that strange energy quietly poured into the three women's bodies respectively. The mysterious power was really magical, as it could push the potential of a warrior's martial spirit and enhance the Profound Qi. Seemed like it had good effects on Leng Dan Qing and the other two, making their Ice Jade Technique advanced somehow. This also surprised him.

Shi Yan discreetly sensed, and his face cheered up.

Ning Qi Shan was a Spirit Realm warrior. After his Profound Qi had been filtered into the mysterious energy and poured into the three women, still, what was left was enough to supplement the part he had consumed. Moreover, it made his Profound Qi ancient tree enhanced.

He gained big in this battle indeed.

Breaking through to the Third Sky of Sky Realm, augmenting the amount of energy he had consumed, and filling the Profound Qi ancient tree, all thanks to the mysterious martial spirit.

At this moment, he truly felt the magical chance that he had gotten with the mystical martial spirit at the Blood Pond before entering the Grace Mainland.

"Big sister, are you saying that after you guys have been with this kid, you all gained some benefits?" Han Cui blushed, asking with uncertainty.

"It is..." Bing Qing Tong was embarrassed, answered her sister with a frowning face as she was bashful.

"Why could it be?"

"I don't know. I think you should ask him." Bing Qing Tong looked at Shi Yan, her eyes flickering. After that awkward event, she found herself hard to keep cold when facing Shi Yan.

To a woman, her pure body could be considered the essential key to her life. Bing Qing Tong had been saving herself, and she had never done anything flirty in front of any men. She had always appeared as an ice cold woman. This time, it was unexpected that Shi Yan had claimed her body. Such an incident that made her flurried; she didn't know what to do next.

"Is it... What our adoptive mother reminded us that year wasn't true, perhaps?" Han Cui couldn't imagine it, shook her head and then sobbed, "She told us many times that when cultivating the Ice Jade Technique, we have to keep our body pure. Once we lost our virginity, we would never enter the higher realm. Don't tell me that she lied to us? Why can you guys leap up after you've lost it?"

The girly soul in Han Cui thought, 'Perhaps it's quite contrary that defloration could help cultivate the Ice Jade Technique to the peak? Is this Ice Jade Technique a dual cultivating method? Otherwise, why their cultivation base could be enhanced after that?'

"Of course, our mother wouldn't lie us!" Bing Qing Tong rolled her eyes at the woman, "Han Cui, don't think of nonsense things. This change isn't normal. I could feel a strange energy pouring into us from Shi Yan. That strange energy absorbed into our body and strengthened our Ice Jade Technique. If it were another man, this situation would absolutely never happen. Don't act rashly..."

She understood Han Cui well. To peak her realm, she could do anything at any cost.

If Han Cui thought that defloration could increase her realm, with her nature, she wouldn't hesitate but find a man to do that and improve her Ice Jade Technique.

"Only him then..."

Han Cui muttered. Her beautiful eyes lit up, looking at Shi Yan with deeper meaning. Her succulent red lips parted, and her face was so charming it could draw people's souls.

Shi Yan was surprised, his face awkward.

Leng Dan Qing and Shuang Yu Zhu had their eyes flickered. Their faces were gloomy as they were uncertain. No one knew what they were thinking at this moment since they kept silent.

Bing Qing Tong rubbed her ear as if she was considering how to treat Shi Yan.

"None of us had thought about this incident beforehand. And, in fact, you guys haven't suffered from a big loss. I was also a virgin. Moreover, I'm still so young. Frankly speaking, you are all cougars." Shi Yan's face was tense as he was explaining himself seriously, "Anyway, I'm a man. It wouldn't be a big deal if I lost my virginity. We should let it go and consider that nothing has ever happened. How about that?"

"B*stard!"

Leng Dan Qing blushed, cursing and rolling her eyes at him, "You were virgin my ass! Your moves were so experienced. Only ghosts buy what you said."

Han Cui clenched her teeth, feeling funny and annoyed at the same time... "I witnessed that. Do you think we're easy to be fooled? If you didn't have experience, how could you know many things like that?" With her words, Han Cui turned bashful, turning her head around to not look at the man.

"Cough cough ..."

Shi Yan felt ashamed when his lie was exposed. He didn't continue wearing his serious face, but a more natural look. "It has happened. What do you want now? Hmm, I'm willing to bear the loss. You give me two drops of the Cold Chalcedony, and I will create an ice chamber for you to make up the loss. How does it sound?"

"We should get back to the city. That freak old man's wounded badly, so he won't find us shortly. After we get back to the city, we will talk about this." Bing Qing Tong looked at him and talked gently.

They had Shi Yan and the War Devil here, so even if Yu Li Ming were stupid enough to come after them, he would never gain the upper hand. After they got to know Shi Yan's competence, they suddenly felt at ease, and their minds quieted down.

This man was still young and his realm wasn't low. He was mysterious, indeed! If they could keep him forever in the Ice Emperor City, it would turn bad to good. Yeah, they had to think about the way to tie him here!

Bing Qing Tong contemplated while Her eyes sparkled, as she was thinking about the good solutions.

"Big sister, we still have poison in our Sea of Consciousness..." Han Cui's face was filled with bitterness, "That monster said that if we can't have the antidote within seven days, our Sea of Consciousness will disperse and our host soul will vanish..."

Leng Dan Qing suddenly remembered the strange thing in her Sea of Consciousness, and her face paled. The joy brought to her from the advancement of her Ice Jade Technique faded away in just a blink.

Yes, what if her Ice Jade Technique was enhanced and she still had the poison in her Sea of Consciousness? She couldn't even urge a bit of her power. After seven days, her Sea of Consciousness would dissolve and her life would come to an end. What was to be joyful about?

Bing Qing Tong sighed, speaking up begrudgingly, "We'll get back to the Ice Emperor City first, then we'll see if we can find a solution. Sigh, if we can't do anything, we will visit the Ning family to see if they have any solutions."

"Even if the Ning family has the antidote, they won't give it to us." Leng Dan Qing's face was cold, her eyes as frosty as ice, "The Nings are shameless. If Ning Luo Han didn't arrange this, we wouldn't have met that freak old man. I hate that I can't kill the entire Ning family!"

"We can't count on the Ning family," Han Cui sighed as she knew that that solution wasn't practical.

"Don't get so low. Get back to the Ice Emperor City first. We'll find another way for the antidote," Shi Yan urged impatiently.

Bing Qing Tong nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Bing Qiang and the others should be in the Banner family now. The Banners are a strong force. We can ease our mind if they stay there. So now, we should go back and negotiate things later."

After making the decision, Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu took Han Cui and Leng Dan Qing, flying together with Shi Yan and following the old track.The Miasma Cloud Wetland...

Inside a swamp where dark mist and cloud hovered, a naked middle-aged sturdy man was sitting cross-legged on the water surface. He was breathing the miasma there.

On his naked body, several hundreds of toxic insects, scorpion, spiders, snakes, and centipedes were crawling and biting him. These small insects were moving, crying mournfully.

A colorful halo expanded like rainbows blooming out from him. His eyes were amazingly beautiful.

A short while later, the venom in his body was sucked off by the toxic insects. They then detached from his body. Whenever an insect finished its job, the seven-colored halo on his body got brighter.

Swoosh!

A body covered with blood appeared next to the swamp. That silhouette gushed out blood from his mouth, then coughed badly.

The vigorous man in the swamp slowly opened his eyes, looking at that man with shock, "Yu-ge, what's happened to you? Bedevilment?"

Blood trickled down from the corner of Yu Li Ming's mouth. His face was ashen as he spoke up with gloomy, ferocious tone. "I got attacked. Ning Qi Shan was killed. The opponent was a young man whose cultivation base was only at the Sky Realm. But he has the Devouring Gold Silkworm from your Ning family. He also has a black iron puppet, very scary..." Yu Li Ming explained briefly.

The sturdy man listened to him, as his face gradually darkened. Seven-colored rainbow light flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, numerous poisonous insects on his body fell off. However, they all exploded even before they even reached the water. The seven-colored halo bloomed, covering the entire space.

"Yu-ge, can you endure another battle?" The robust man strode out from the swamp. Many tattoos of evil, toxic beasts appeared on his skin, replacing the cover of the toxic insects. Along with his steps, those beasts looked extremely lively, giving people a feeling that they were ready to battle at any time.

"I can try. But I can't deal with that black iron puppet..."

"I'll handle all of them. You just need to control the women of the Ice Emperor City. How about that?"

"I think I can do that."

"Let's go."

Chapter 516: Try to be flexible

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

The Banner family in the White Emperor City…

Bei Si got up from the three maids on his bed. He rubbed his back and smiled bitterly while he was cursing under his breath.

"You hurried back to vent out your animal instinct?" A rude voice came from the door as it was pushed open. A hefty man with a scarred face came in. "You don't make any progress! You're too old to have such desire for women. If you continue this path, how can you enter the Third Sky of Spirit Realm?"

"Ah, da-ge," Bei Si was embarrassed. He explained briefly. "No, it's not what you think. I got affected by the Vanish Mind Smoke of Li Yu Ming. I had to vent out the desire."

"Yu Li Ming, the one who cultivates poisonous technique in the Miasma Cloud Wetland?" Bei Di was surprised. "Why did you fight with him? Isn't he secluding and cultivating in the Miasma Cloud Wetland?"

"Well, it's..." Bei Si briefed the story once.

"What?!" Bei Di was shocked. "Are you saying that the kid Lao Li told us about has such tremendous martial techniques? Even Yu Li Ming couldn't defeat him?"

Bei Si nodded.

Bei Di was more frightened. He was stunned for a while then said with a low voice. "Not good!"

"What's up?"

"Yu Li Ming has a good relationship with Ning Du Quan. Ning Du Quan wouldn't just sit there and ignore the bitter fruit he has had to settle for this time. Moreover, that kid has the Devouring Gold Silkworm. If Yu Li Ming tells him that, he will know immediately that the kid had killed Ning Ze in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist. With Ning Du Quan's characteristic, he won't give up."

"That kid's excellent. He's young, but his realm's not low. Furthermore, he has many secrets. I think he could be a good ally."

Bei Di listened to him, and couldn't help but fall in thought. After a while, he suddenly recalled something. "Lao Li told me that that kid had saved Cai Yi of the Aoke family. If the Aoke stand with us, we can solve the risk even if Yu Li Ming and Ning Du Quan join hands."

"I'll call Lao Li right now." Bei Si understood that, then shouted.

Lao Li and his brother came as they were called.The Aoke family…

Cai Yi was cultivating in the secret chamber with her eyes closed. She was steadying the devil barrier of her Sky Realm, while comprehending the true meanings of the Aoke family's power.

After she returned from the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, she had entered the Sky Realm. With the secret treasure she collected, she was like a tiger with a pair of wings. Seniors in the family often complimented her.

Cai Yi was wearing a dark blue robe as she was condensing and converting the essence Qi of heaven and earth into her Profound Qi. She was putting all of her mind to it.

Suddenly, a silver ring on her white hand jingled, waking her from her cultivation. Cai Yi wasn't happy. She cursed under her breath while tenderly caressing her silvery ring.

"Cai Yi-jie, brother Shi Yan has arrived the Ice Emperor City, but seems like he has troubles there..."

Cai Yi's beautiful eyes brightened, jolting up from her jade bed. She quickly got out of the secret chamber, walking straight to the place of the Aoke family's master. She called out with her sweet voice, "Big Uncle, I have some urgent matter!"

Some noises arose from the ground under the miniature mountain landscape. A silhouette appeared, smiling, "Little Yi Yi, did you meet something you don't understand while cultivating?"

"No," Cai Yi shook her head then sputtered. "Do you remember Shi Yan, the one I've told you before? He's the one who saved me in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist."

"Yes," the House Master of the Aoke family, Bai Ge Sen, nodded. He asked again with surprise, "Why do you mention him now? Didn't you say that the kid is in the Endless Sea now? What's up? Do you want to go to the Endless Sea to meet him now?"

"No, uncle. He came to our Divine Great Land, but he seems to meet some troubles." Cai Yi didn't conceal, briefing the information she'd collected. "Ning family from Miasma Cloud Wetland wants to kill him. Uncle, can you help him? If he didn't save me in the Dark Magemetic Noxious Mist, I would have had no chance to meet you again." Cai Yi looked at him with sad eyes.

"The Ning family isn't easy to cope with." Bai Ge Sen was hesitant for a while. He frowned as he contemplated. "If we mess it up, the impact will be big. Perhaps, it would trigger the war between the Heaven Temple and our Fighting Union. This matter is really complicated. Give me time to consider it carefully."

"Big Uncle, Shi Yan has the Life Original Fluid..." Cai Yi muttered.

Bai Ge Sen's eyes lit up. "Good! This kid saved you and now he's saving the women of the Ice Emperor City. We have a good reason now. Ice Emperor City is a member of the Fighting Union. Although they're at the lowest level, we shouldn't let the Heaven Temple trouble them. So, even if this matter worsens, it was them who have caused everything. We'll have a good reason to answer the General Union, too."

Cai Yi parted her lips while giggling. "Big Uncle, don't try to find excuses. If you want to create a good relationship with him, just say it clearly. You even lie to your niece. Nice move though."

"Haha," Bai Ge Sen didn't feel any shame. "We don't need to mobilize many people for this matter. I'll go with you. The Ning family won't arrange all of their elite forces either. As long as we can control the whole picture, Ning Du Quan would consider the situation and retreat himself."

"Yeah."The Ice Emperor City...

In the center of the grand ice palace, Bing Qing Tong, Han Cui, Shuang Yu Zhu, and Leng Dan Qing scattered inside an ice chamber to meditate. Bing Qing Tong released her Soul Consciousness, entering Han Cui's Sea of Consciousness to find the way to cure the poison there. The bone-chilling air hovered above her Sea of Consciousness in an attempt to eliminate the toxin there.

However, right when she sent her Soul Consciousness to Han Cui's Sea of Consciousness, she immediately found the woman's entire Sea of Consciousness being poisoned. This toxin was such a great soul poisoning substance. If they wanted to wash the poison away, they had to destroy Han Cui's Sea of Consciousness.

The basis of a warrior was his Sea of Consciousness. If Han Cui's Sea of Consciousness were destroyed, she would die altogether, and her host soul would vanish too.

Bing Qing Tong tried everything she knew but couldn't find an effective method. Eventually, she retrieved her Soul Consciousness, then sighed with a pale face.

Han Cui and Leng Dan Qing wore sad countenance.

Shuang Yu Zhu kept silent. Later on, she shook her head begrudgingly. "Seems we have to find that monster Yu Li Meng. Otherwise, when the Sea of Consciousness starts to scatter, we will have no way."

"Where's Shi Yan?" Bing Qing Tong's eyes raked around the room. Her black eyebrows slammed together. "He left already? Why?"

"He took some people to the Ice Crystal Treasure House." Shuang Yu Zhu's eyes were strange.

"This b*stard!" Bing Qing Tong gritted her teeth, speaking up with indignance. "He only cares about his business. He ignores our lives. Such a heartless fellow! I just tried to be polite, and he did take somebody to the Ice Crystal Treasure House. Seems like he doesn't want to be involved with us. Soon, he'll leave us."

"Just let him leave!" Leng Dan Qing snarled, her heart filled with rage.

When Shi Yan and the women got back to the Ice Emperor City, he immediately asked Bing Qing Tong for some items, saying that he got an urgent business that needed those things.

Bing Qing Tong didn't think much and nodded to allow him. Moreover, she told him the location of the Ice Crystal Treasure House and gave him the key. She had agreed to let him take the materials there for his cultivation.

After the beautiful scene had happened between them, Bing Qing Tong had the intention to keep him in the Ice Emperor City. On the one hand, he had the Ice Cold Flame, which was the top precious treasure for their cultivation, and on the other hand, this young man had many layers of mysterious and intimidating abilities.

Bing Qing Tong was sane. As things had happened, what was done could not be undone, so regret meant nothing now.

In this case, how to turn the bad things into the good things was the issue she should think about.

She had thought about it carefully. She assumed that if Shi Yan stayed in the Ice Emperor City, not only the power of the Ice Emperor City would be enhanced, but also their cultivation.

However, by the time they got back to the City, Shi Yan didn't say even a word to comfort them. The first thing he spoke was to ask for items. He didn't even say thanks after receiving the key from her. Looking at him running toward the Ice Crystal Treasure House, Bing Qing Tong felt irritated. She vaguely felt that Shi Yan wanted to deny the relationship with them, as he didn't want to deepen the connection between them.

"Da-jie, we must find him!" Shuang Yu Zhu was getting angrier the more she thought about the young man. She snorted and then jolted up from her seat.

"Sit down!" Bing Qing Tong scolded her. "What do you want to do? Not to mention that he doesn't have any responsibility towards us, with his ability, do you think you can hold him? Your Second and Third sisters got poisoned. If you're so emotional at this moment, you will just make things worse."

"He raped us, but he acts like nothing has happened. He didn't say anything to calm us. He only has wicked intentions! He wants to separate from us. I... I can't hold it." Shuang Yu Zhu was indignant. She bit her lower lips, as cold light sparkled from her pretty eyes.

"We can't blame him for all the things..." Although Bing Qing Tong didn't feel fine, she was trying to calm her sisters. "We were affected by the Vanish Mind Smoke. It was us who started it. Talking about damage, he only damaged our Third Sister."

"We're women..."

"I know. But if he flees away like we nothing matters, what can we do? Use force? Apparently, we can't. Both of us aren't the opponent of the black iron puppet, let alone his demonic beasts..." Bing Qing Tong beamed a forced smile. "What bad things have we done to have met a b*stard like him? He doesn't want to admit it."

"Why don't we use the soft way?" Han Cui suggested tenderly.

"Soft?" Bing Qing Tong gulped. "How soft?"

"That bastard has violated our Third Sister. He admitted this issue. If we send Third Sister to ask him, perhaps... it will work." Han Cui blushed, looking at Leng Dan Qing. "Third Sister, if you come and seduce him and talk to him softly, I think he may stay."

"You want me to seduce him?!?" Leng Dan Qing cried. She panted as she got up. "Second sister, what's the plan you have in your mind? That bastard raped me, and now you want me to seduce him? Do you really think I'm that despicable?"

"I didn't mean it..." Shame filled Han Cui's face.

"So, what do you mean?" Leng Dan Qing's face was as cold as ice.

"As things have happened, I think he should be guilty on seeing you. If you can go soft at him, I think even if he has the will of steel, he can be melted with your words." Han Cui tried to beam a forced smile.

"Isn't it plain old seduction?"

"It is..."

Chapter 517: Unlock Bloodline

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

In an ice hall inside the palace of the Ice Emperor City's City Master...

"Is that the thing you wanted?" Shi Yan frowned in surprise, looking at Ba Si Teng, who was overjoyed.

It was a solid gold key that looked nothing different in the cold Ice Hall. There was nothing abnormal about the key, but Ba Si Teng was way too excited on seeing it.

"Yeah, that's it. It's the God Blood Key, the most precious treasure of our Ba family!" Ba Si Teng extended his hand, caressing the key tenderly, just like he was comforting his lover's skin with love and focus, not wanting to leave.

The Ba family had declined for years. Up to Ba Si Teng's generation, they had only the pair of brother and sister left. If they hadn't found the God Blood Key in the Ice Emperor City, not long afterward, the Great Vigor Martial Spirit would have faded, and eventually, it would have become a normal bloodline.

"Thank you," Ba Si Teng took a deep breath, sincerely expressing his gratitude, his eyes filled with appreciation.

"Not a big deal." Shi Yan urged him while smiling, "We have gotten the God Blood Key now. We should release the power completely to prevent unexpected events. Do it now. I'll guard you."

"Here?" Ba Fei was a little bit surprised. They were at the Palace of the City Master, the holiest place of the Ice Emperor City. If they used the God Blood Key in such a place, perhaps all warriors in the Ice Emperor City would know about them. This pair of brother and sister had gotten used to hiding themselves. In recent years, they had been staying in the mountains or deep inside jungles to cultivate. They didn't dare to make any big moves that could catch the eyes of the others.

They planned to take the God Blood Key, leave the Ice Emperor City, and find an isolated area to use the Blood God Key. Having heard what Shi Yan said, they couldn't help but hesitate.

"No problem. The City Master of the Ice Emperor City won't have evil thoughts against you guys. Even if they have, I will oppress them. Don't worry," Shi Yan comforted them.

"Alright," Ba Si Teng also wanted to use the God Blood Key here to gain the mysterious power his ancestors had passed to him. With Shi Yan's guarantee, he agreed immediately.

Shi Yan eyed the God Blood Key with an earnest look.

He had always been interested in mysterious treasures like this key. The God Blood Key was the most precious treasure the Ba family had kept for generations, functioning as the key to unlocking the bloodline of the Ba family. Shi Yan felt excited about the situation that was about to unfold.

Under his attentive look, Ba Si Teng held his breath, concentrating his mind. First, he slowly gathered the power in his body. A while later, Ba Si Teng urged his Profound Qi to flow through his left index finger. His finger glowed while a robust aura gushed out from it.

"Break!" Ba Si Teng let out a short shout.

The skin on his fingertip had a small cut, as a drop of Gold Blood that looked like a pearl shot out.

Ba Si Teng's face was tense. His soul, spirit, and mind had been condensed into that drop of Gold Blood. He used his thought to control the drop, slowly rolling to the God Blood Key on his right palm.

Sss Sss Sss!

When the drop of Gold Blood touched the God Blood Key, gold mist suddenly exuded from the key.

After fifteen minutes, the God Blood Key was like it was boiling. Gold bubbles emerged, as a wild, vigorous power shook violently, diffusing from the God Blood Key.

BOOM!

Great tremor transmitted from the God Blood Key. In just a blink, countless beams of gold light shot out radiantly, lighting up the whole Ice Hall. The sparkling Ice Hall was lit up with the strange, golden light, its ice walls seeming to be painted by a golden watercolor. So magnificent!

Ba Si Teng roared, guiding his index finger nearer to the God Blood Key.

The boiling gold bubbles from the God Blood Key acted as if they were little gold fairies, getting into Ba Si Teng's body through the cut on his fingertip.

Ba Si Teng's body gradually turned into a gold hue, and a golden light radiated from him.

Rumble Rumble Rumble!

The rumbling noise from the God Blood Key was unceasing... Flows of bursting gold energy were like strong, uneasy ancient beasts that were bouncing here and there inside the key to find a way to leave the key confinement.

"Quick!"

Ba Fei couldn't hold her shout.

Ba Si Teng didn't dare to hesitate. He put his index finger on the God Blood Key as fast as a thought.

BOOM!

A heavy explosion resounded in the Ice Hall. People then saw the God Blood Key turn into a golden flesh membrane that covered Ba Si Teng. A large amount of mysterious gold energy turned into strange gold patterns and started to be absorbed into Ba Si Teng's body.

Shi Yan could feel clearly that those gold pattern not only had the wild, mysterious energy, but also brought along the strange, peculiar memories.

This was the ability inheritance, including the exclusive power!

Inside the cover of the gold flesh membrane, suddenly, Ba Si Teng shook violently, screaming in the Ice Hall.

As he only had the Nirvana Realm cultivation base, when this generous energy poured into him, it surpassed the limit his body could bear. His vessels were bulging under his skin, which looked both fierce and vigorously beautiful.

Ba Si Teng was roaring and shaking inside the Ice Hall. His entire body was blooming with a golden halo, just like a gold sun, continually releasing a vibrating energy.

Under Shi Yan's scrutinizing look, beams of golden light absorbed into his body one by one. In a tyrannical way, these strands of golden light forcefully fused with his bones, vessels and meridians, and even his internal organs. Tens of thousands of golden strands were moving with lightning speed inside his body towards his brain.

"What's happening?"

Inside the secret chamber, Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Yu Zhu, Han Cui, and Leng Dan Qing discolored. They jolted up from their seat as they were anxious and uneasy.

They didn't know why the whole palace was vaguely shaking just like there was a giant beast walking back and forth in the Palace, which shook the other buildings of the place and made them about to collapse.

"Is that Yu Li Meng?" Han Cui paled, then asked instinctively.

Bing Qing Tong was calm. She closed her beautiful eyes to sense. "The noise comes from the Ice Hall Shi Yan's borrowing from us."

"What's he doing this time?" Leng Dan Qing spoke through her gritted teeth.

"Let's go and check it out." Bing Qing Tong hesitated for a while. The thick wall of their secret chamber suddenly split open, revealing an ice tunnel.

Shuang Yu Zhu, Han Cui, and Leng Dan Qing mused for a while, but eventually, they couldn't press down the curiosity in their hearts, following their big sister.

Although the palace of the Ice Emperor City was massive, Shi Yan's location and their chamber weren't far from each other. Not long after the four women got out of the chamber, they reached the spacious Ice Hall.

Inside the Ice Hall, Ba Si Teng was breathing heavily. Golden vessels bulged under his skin all over his body. An incomparable verve energy was washing his body from the inside, which bloomed the golden halo in this Ice Hall, letting people observe the scene clearly.

Bing Qing Tong and the other three stood at the entrance. At first glance, they couldn't help but scream in fear.

When Ba Si Teng had come here, he had only the Third Sky of Nirvana Realm cultivation base. What had happened to him that in just a short while, he had obtained that tyrannically intimidating aura?

The aura from Ba Si Teng was surging more vehemently. Let alone the Nirvana Realm warriors, even when a Peak Sky Realm warrior urged all of his power, he couldn't reach this level.

What was going on?

Bing Qing Tong was full of suspicion. She couldn't help but ask Shi Yan. "What the heck have you done here?"

As Shi Yan was concentrating on Ba Si Teng, her voice woke him up. He grinned, waving at her. "Come here. It's rare to have a chance to see the God Blood fusing with the body. This is the first time I've observed it. If we don't watch it to the end, we should apologize to our eyes."

"What?!?"

Bing Qing Tong and the other three screamed in fear.

God Blood fusing with the body?

Their eyes brightened, gazing at Ba Si Teng at the center of the Ice Hall. Their hearts were filled with a strange feeling. What kind of good fortune did he have? Where did he find the God Blood?

Under their swelling curiosity, the four women walked into the hall with caution, crossing Ba Si Teng in his wild state to reach Shi Yan's place.

"What's happened?" Bing Qing Tong darkened her face and snorted, "How many dark things have you been concealing? Where did he get the God Blood? Why does he need to fuse it here? What does it matter to you?"

"From your treasure house," explained Shi Yan.

"Ah!" Bing Qing Tong was stunned, her face disbelieving.

"There's God Blood in my treasure house? Why didn't I know it? I've been watching over the treasure house for so many years. Why haven't I found the God Blood there? Is my fortune that bad?"

Bing Qing Tong felt bitter with her depressed thinking.

"Don't overthink. Even if you had the God Blood, you can't fuse it with your blood. Only he can do that with the stuff you have. Besides him, no one can use it." With a glance, Shi Yan got what she was thinking. He beamed a faint smile and comforted her, "Besides the ones who have the bloodline of Gods, the others can never find the God Blood. So, it's not your karma problem."

Having heard him say that, Bing Qing Tong felt a bit better.

"Shi Yan, how do you know so many things? And, what's the relationship between you and him?" Han Cui's eyes brightened. She smiled softly and said sweetly. Her brilliant pupils strangely twinkled, gazing at Shi Yan all the time without a single blink.

"Little Beguilment!" Leng Dan Qing cursed under her breath. She didn't know why she felt irritated on seeing her sister charming appearance.

"Just a friend," Shi Yan smiled faintly, acted as if he didn't see Han Cui. He then turned to Leng Dan Qing and talked to her. "Did you cure the poison in your Sea of Consciousness?"

"No one needs your care. I'll die for your sake. I think you've wished I could die earlier," Leng Dan Qing darkened her face, snorted coldly.

"Seems you don't have the antidote." Shi Yan's eyes flickered. He hesitated for a while then said. "Well, would you let me check it?"

"You?" Leng Dan Qing was surprised, mocking. "Even my big sister had her hands tied. Do you think you can? It's a soul poison, which can't be treated with normal pellets. Don't be so self-righteous, okay?"

"Yeah, because it's the soul type poison is why I want to check it. If it needs herbs or pellets, I have no method though. Let me see it."

Leng Dan Qing was shocked.

Bing Qing Tong was moved. She thought then said, "Do you have a solution for it?"

"I'm not sure. I need to check it first," Shi Yan answered uncertainly.

"Then you can check me first," Han Cui smiled mildly, deliberately walking towards him with her graceful gait. She then extended her jade-like left arm.

Chapter 518: Join Soul

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Han Cui was proactive, and her manners more tender, as she was willing to let Shi Yan do what he wanted.

Looking at her mild bearing, Leng Dan Qing couldn't hold her anger. She snorted and then stepped forward, extending her hand to Shi Yan. Leng Dan Qing frowned while talking to him, "Check it. If you can't do anything, spit it out soon. Don't waste my time."

Han Cui laughed naturally. Her black eyebrows convulsed. She seemed to understand her sister's psychology, so she stepped back, not wanting to compete with the younger woman.

Leng Dan Qing didn't look at Shi Yan, just stretched her hand and then turned her head around, looking at Ba Si Teng.

At this moment, the God Blood Key in Ba Si Teng's palm disappeared. A thick cocoon covered him completely. It looked like he was confined in a gold prison.

Ba Si Teng suddenly quieted down, no longer screaming. He stayed silent inside the cocoon, gathering his power. The fluctuations emitting from his body ceased as well.

"No need to be tense." Shi Yan smiled, releasing his Soul Consciousness and entering her Sea of Consciousness.

Leng Dan Qing had some contradictions in her heart. When she felt his Soul Consciousness coming close, she felt uneasy, and her face reddened as she let out a slight snort.

Shi Yan ignored her, only focusing on bringing his Soul Consciousness into her Sea of Consciousness. He then concentrated on checking the anomalous status there.

Minutes later, he retrieved his Soul Consciousness, his face solemn. "The poison not only affects your Sea of Consciousness, but also the host soul. A bit difficult here."

"The poison has expanded to the host soul? That's fast." Bing Qing Tong shouted, her eyes complicated. "Seems this toxin diffuses really fast. With this speed, it will burst out shortly. At that time..."

She didn't finish her saying.

Han Cui and Leng Dan Qing understood. They all wore desperate, with gloomy countenances, sighing in distress.

"There's nothing we can do about it?" Bing Qing Tong was quite depressed, shaking her head continually; her beautiful eyes shimmered with pain.

"I can try. But I need to send my host soul into her Sea of Consciousness. It's complicated and dangerous at the same time." Shi Yan thought, then said, "When my host soul enters her Sea of Consciousness, she has to let go of her host soul and let me lead. No matter what I do, she shouldn't resist. Otherwise, she can't bear it, and even my host soul will be burn. This is extremely dangerous. Whether she wants to do that, I can't control. You guys consider and tell me your decision."

Once the host soul left the Soul of Consciousness, if it met a soul attack, under the given circumstance that there was no Sea of Consciousness to protect it, it would be eradicated. In fact, if he didn't feel that he owed Leng Dan Qing, he would have never proposed this method. Releasing the host soul, he had to bear risks which weren't less than Leng Dan Qing's anyway.

"Are you sure?" Bing Qing Tong asked with a serious complexion.

"I'm sure, but it's not the 100% sure."

"Sister, what do you think?"

"I..."

Shi Yan kept silent, not saying anything. He stood while looking at her emotionlessly, waiting for her final decision.

"Alright," After a while, Leng Dan Qing made up her mind, talking through her gritted teeth. "I'm giving everything to you. If you do something bad, I won't spare you even if I turn into a ghost."

Shi Yan forced a smile, shaking his head. "Well, just cut it off then. When my host soul enters your Soul of Consciousness, it's bad already. If you have put up your guard against me like that, I don't want to take risks."

"You b*stard!" Leng Dan Qing scolded him loudly, rolling her eyes at him, her face blushed.

"Ah, how?" Shi Yan felt wronged.

"Don't babble. Do it. I don't care anymore. At most, I'll die because of you. You've harmed me once anyways." Leng Dan Qing gathered her guts, then lifted up her head to reveal her creamy neck. At that moment, she had nothing in her mind.

'This b*stard, why can't he talk more tenderly? He really wants me to die of indignance? Harrumph, if he does something bad, even if I die, I won't let you live comfortably!' Leng Dan Qing thought.

"You are willing to do this and it isn't me forcing you. Later, you shouldn't resist. Otherwise, I'll play with you." Shi Yan's visage was tense, giving her a stern advice. He was careful enough to release the War Devil.

"You guys stay away from me." He looked at Bing Qing Tong and the others.

The three women had a grimaced face.

Shi Yan asked them to back off, then released his War Devil. Obviously, he didn't trust them. When the host soul left the body, if the body got hurt severely, the host soul would never be able to recover. This young man was worried that they would take action to him; that's why he had to be that cautious.

"You don't trust us?" Bing Qing Tong's cold face darkened as she snorted.

"It doesn't mean I don't trust you. I'm worried about other occurrences. Although Yu Li Ming is gone, it doesn't mean that he won't come back, right?" Shi Yan beamed a wry smile, then sat down. He contemplated for a while, then released his King of Demonic Insects and let it sleep on his shoulder.

Afterward, he started his action.

The host soul flew out from his Sea of Consciousness, turning into a strange beam of light and entering Leng Dan Qing's Sea of Consciousness.

The soft body of the woman shivered, and her face immediately changed.

When the opponent's host soul intruded her Sea of Consciousness, it wasn't different from her body getting intruded. The Sea of Consciousness was the forbidden place of a warrior. This meant they would never let anyone enter there. Staying inside the Sea of Consciousness was the host soul, which was the root of a warrior. Also, there were the Life Seal and memories. This place was considered the most private forbidden area for the warriors.

Letting a strange man enter this private area was much more embarrassing than letting somebody seeing her naked body. This meant she had allowed him to see everything deep inside her heart.

If it weren't a special situation, Leng Dan Qing would have never allowed any man sending his host soul to her Sea of Consciousness. However, Shi Yan's host soul now appeared there.

As Leng Dan Qing felt her host soul trembling inside the Sea of Consciousness, her slender body shivered slightly, as if someone was stroking her body. This feeling was hard to be described with words.

Strands of Soul Consciousness were released from Shi Yan's host soul quietly entering Leng Dan Qing's Sea of Consciousness. When their Soul Consciousness tangled, their bodies shook vehemently, generating a peculiar feeling.

Shi Yan immediately felt adventurous and uncontrollable. This Soul Consciousness entanglement was more sensual than the union of the two bodies. It almost pushed him out of control, confusing his host soul.

Warning himself constantly, he pressed down the strange emotion from the bottom of his heart, then started to filter the poison.

Using his strands of Soul Consciousness together with the power of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, he was moving around Leng Dan Qing's Sea of Consciousness. Whenever he found the toxin, he immediately used the Soul Consciousness strand to cover it, and then burnt it with the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame.

The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame was a magical soul destroying flame. It worked on all kinds of soul powers. This kind of poison was one of the soul powers. When it got in contact with the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, it had no resistance and got burnt into ashes in just a flash, leaving nothing.

Manipulating his Soul Consciousness, Shi Yan slowly moved around Leng Dan Qing's Sea of Consciousness and searched for the poison... He carefully covered it with his strands of Soul Consciousness first, then erased it with the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame.

The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame was extremely intimidating. If it appeared in someone else's Sea of Consciousness, the Sea of Consciousness would be burnt down immediately.

If his Soul Consciousness hadn't covered the fiery flame, Leng Dan Qing's Sea of Consciousness would have vanished in a flash.

While Shi Yan was washing the toxin, Leng Dan Qing's body was shivering slightly. A red hue covered all over her body. She even couldn't control herself, breathing sweetly as if someone was disrespecting her.

Bing Qing Tong, Han Cui, and Shuang Yu Zhu looked at her with odd faces. A strange feeling arose from the bottom of their hearts.

Among the three, Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu had been skin-to-skin with Shi Yan in the forest. As they were watching Leng Dan Qing's appearance, the hot scene in the forest popped up and meandered in their minds without scattering...

Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu were all mature and dignified women, and never had contacted intimately with men before. Under the effects of the Vanish Mind Smoke, they had lost their virginity to Shi Yan, which made them have complicated feelings toward Shi Yan. They hated him, but they were also waiting for something.

It was how the women's hearts worked. They would tend to give their whole life to the first man they had been with.

And Shi Yan, from all aspects, was a brilliant man. If he weren't too cold, he would be just perfect.

If he could treat them tenderly with his heart and leave everything behind to stay in the Ice Emperor City, Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu would be ready to make him their man and take care of him...

Thoughts popped up constantly in their heads. Their beautiful eyes shifted from Leng Dan Qing to Shi Yan as their thoughts moved fast.

"Yeah..."

Leng Dan Qing suddenly slipped out some whining. Her long eyelashes shivered as she was swaying, while her soft body became hot.

Shi Yan was sitting over there, his majestic body was shaking, his breathing short.

Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Yu Zhu, and Han Cui had their eyes changed strangely.

Inside Leng Dan Qing's Sea of Consciousness, Shi Yan's host soul was next to the woman's host soul. The two vague small figures were walking hand in hand. As Shi Yan noticed her host soul being confused, he had the tender thought of comforting her.

However, when the hand of his host soul touched Leng Dan Qing's host soul, an extremely wonderful taste filled both of their souls.

At this moment, he knew all the thoughts inside Leng Dan Qing's heart like the lines on his palm. He could even see the top-secret feelings in her heart.

"Turns out she doesn't hate me that much. She was angry because of my manners. She cares about me, too. But she's shy. It's her feminine constraint and the normal contradiction..."

"This b*stard's young, but he has so many women! Hm, he dared tell us that he was a virgin! Liar! He's not trustworthy at all!"

"Xia Xin Yan... Who is this woman? She's such a lucky woman. This is the lady of his heart. The reason he came to the Divine Great Land is..."

As the host souls were hugging each other, it let both sides see the things hiding deepest in the other's heart. Shi Yan was curious about her manners while Leng Dan Qing was inquisitive about his love experience. After this soul blending, they understood the private place in each other's heart.

Immersing in this wonderful feeling, Shi Yan tried to press down his sensual desire, urging the power of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame to wash off the toxin in her host soul.

Leng Dan Qing let off everything. She didn't worry about the poison, just observing Shi Yan's experience deep in his soul. Each of his women together with his attitude towards them, Leng Dan Qing saw them all. Now she understood Shi Yan's love life quite well. In some aspect, she got it even more thoroughly than Shi Yan.

"Phew!"

The two souls separated. Shi Yan glared at her host soul in the Sea of Consciousness, and then went out.

Leng Dan Qing's host soul smiled contentedly, as her mood was cheered up. Seeing Shi Yan's host soul leaving, she was touched again.

Chapter 519: Strong-bonded sisterhood

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Shi Yan's host soul got back to its place. He then stood silently, throwing a glare at Leng Dan Qing who had just recovered, giving her a faint smile. "Are you alright?"

The corner of Leng Dan Qing's mouth convulsed, then cracked into a smile as she gently shook her head, her bright eyes scrutinizing him with great interest. "You're a bad boy. You have a lot of dark things, and you told us that you were a virgin! Let me see how you can deceive me now?"

Shi Yan was embarrassed, forced a smile but didn't say anything.

Han Cui was struck, as she couldn't hold her joy while screaming. "Third Sister, he... he did help you dissolve the toxin?"

Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu were emotional, looking at him with surprise.

"Yeah." Leng Dan Qing nodded happily. "This b*stard has some mysterious abilities, indeed. After his host soul entered my Sea of Consciousness, he cleaned all the poison there. Now, I don't need to worry about it anymore."

"It's..."

Bing Qing Tong's beautiful eyes sparkled, her heart filled with strange feelings. Her eyes studied him with a greater interest.

The soul type poison was really hard to clean. Only a True God Realm warrior, who had the God Soul, could borrow the formidable power of the God Soul to wash the soul poison.

It was evident that Shi Yan had only the Sky Realm cultivation base, which was even one level lower than theirs. But he could still clean up the toxin. This changed Bing Qing Tong's thoughts about Shi Yan, inclining to more unimaginable.

"Hey, I also have poison," Han Cui smiled mildly, walking to Shi Yan with sincerity. She folded her slender thighs, sitting down next to Leng Dan Qing, and looking at him with longing face.

"You want it too?" Shi Yan frowned, his face strange.

To wash the poison in Leng Dan Qing's soul, he had to join his soul with hers. The wonderful feeling drove him vehemently. And, if he carried out soul joint again, the secrets he had hidden from the bottom of his heart would be disclosed to Han Cui.

He didn't have good feelings toward this woman. From Leng Dan Qing's memories, he knew that they went to the Ning family in Miasma Cloud Wetland to seek for help, which was all this woman's plan. She always wanted to replace Bing Qing Tong in the Ice Emperor City. When they were in the jungle, he didn't vent out his desire for her.

In his point of view, he didn't cause any loss to Han Cui. Also, he didn't want to reveal the secrets of his heart to Han Cui.

"You..." As she sensed that Shi Yan seemed to not agree to cure her, Han Cui paled, tears lingering in her eyes. "You are so heartless. You want to see me die? If you ignore me, I have to die. Although I've made mistakes, I admitted my faults..."

Han Cui looked at him miserably, with her pathetic appearance and watery eyes.

Shi Yan snorted as he knew she was just pretending. He said with disdain, "Cut it off. I don't owe you anything. Don't show that face to me."

Han Cui discolored, turning colder. "Are you that heartless?"

"Do we have any relationship?" Shi Yan sneered.

"Relationship...Hmm…" Han Cui was dazed. Her face then turned red. She then said with her head cocked down. "What relationship do you want? Do you want me to serve you like my sisters did? Well, I'm not afraid of that, though. If you have true feelings for me, it's okay to give myself to you."

Shi Yan was surprised.

Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu were also shocked, not knowing what to say.

"Sister, you want to improve your Ice Jade Technique, right?" Leng Dan Qing snorted, "Did you see our Ice Jade Technique has been advanced and you want to use the same way to leap up your Ice Jade Technique? Is that what you want?"

Just with a glance, she understood Han Cui's calculation.

Han Cui and Bing Qing Tong had always competed against each other, as the former wanted to replace the latter to be the Master of Ice Emperor City. For this goal, this woman could do anything. As long as she could press Bing Qing Tong down, let alone giving him her pure body, even if she had to become Shi Yan's concubine, it wasn't a big deal.

As Leng Dan Qing had known the secrets deep in Shi Yan's heart, she wouldn't want to share them with anyone else. Thinking that Han Cui could use the same method to know Shi Yan's feeling and characteristic, she felt irritated.

In her eyes, only her knowing his secrets was enough.

"Third Sister, do you really want me to die?" Han Cui paled, looking at her sister with shock, clenching her jaw.

"I didn't mean that..." Leng Dan Qing was busted. She wanted to say something, but eventually kept silent and sighed.

"Shi Yan..." Bing Qing Tong looked at him while begging, "My Second Sister isn't bad. She just wants to compete with me, that makes her run on the wrong track. The four of us are all orphans. We have only each other to live on. Although we don't get along well, I don't want bad things to happen to her. Don't you see it?"

Han Cui's eyes brightened a little bit as she felt shame, letting out a sigh. "Da-jie..."

"We are sisters. We don't want anything bad happens to you. After this occurrence, I hope our sisterhood will restore as it was at the beginning." Bing Qing Tong said sincerely.

Han Cui mused for a long while and then nodded silently.

"Shi Yan, please help her. I know you're not a bad guy..." Leng Dan Qing thought, then begged him.

Shi Yan frowned, coldly glaring at Han Cui. He hesitated for a while, then said begrudgingly, "Alright. But I want to make it clear that while my host soul is contacting with yours, you are not allowed to peek at my private stories. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being merciful."

After he had finished, Han Cui's face changed. She thought, then laughed. "Don't worry. I won't do that. I only need you to cure my poison. I'm not interested in other matters."

Having heard that, Shi Yan finally agreed. He sat down cross-legged again then released his host soul.

As he had experienced washing the toxin for Leng Dan Qing, this time, his speed was faster. At first, he used his Soul Consciousness to enter Han Cui's Sea of Consciousness, covered the poison and burnt it with the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame. After that, he would intrude Han Cui's host soul.

When the host souls touched, the wonderful feeling filled their souls simultaneously.

Their bodies both shook. Just like Leng Dan Qing, Han Cui's soft body shivered as she couldn't control her moaning.

Leng Dan Qing glared at the woman. Her black brows slammed together. She harrumphed, not feeling comfortable in her heart.

Shi Yan intruded the most secret area at the bottom of her heart...

He then knew that she was an orphan since she was born. The Ice Emperor City's City Master had adopted her. Before that, she had spent a rough life, when she hadn't had enough food to fill her stomach daily. After she entered the Ice Emperor City, she always focused on practice and training, but still, she couldn't surpass Bing Qing Tong. The former City Master had usually urged her to practice more, so she could be as excellent as Bing Qing Tong.

At that time she was still a child, and was curious about everything. She hadn't put all her head into her cultivation, which kept her one level lower than Bing Qing Tong every time they had a competition.

It was also the reason why the former City Master had often reprimanded her.

The more she got reprimanded, the more she hated Bing Qing Tong. She felt that if her sister weren't too brilliant, she wouldn't have been scolded that often.

The former City Master had been very strict on them. At the time of testing, if their realms weren't high enough, not only did they get rebuked, but also grounded. Since she'd preferred playing to studying, she got grounded the most often. Every time she was grounded, she thought it was because of Bing Qing Tong.

She had been putting forth everything to reach the same realm as Bing Qing Tong. By the time the former City Master choosing her successor, Han Cui had put all of her mind in it. She had hoped that she would be chosen, to prove that she was better than Bing Qing Tong.

However, the former City Master didn't give her a chance to prove herself when she directly passed the City Master position to Bing Qing Tong.

She then held indignant feelings, as she felt that her years of efforts became useless. She came to talk to her adoptive mother, but her mother told her, '…You aren't as excellent as your sister.'

From that day onward, Han Cui had put Bing Qing Tong as her sole target. Because of this target, she always went against Bing Qing Tong. She wanted to prove that her mother made a mistake that year because she was truly the strongest among the sisters...

Shi Yan saw all the old stories that hid deep inside Han Cui's soul. However, under his warning, Han Cui didn't dare to peep in his secret, and was just enjoying the tender pleasure of the soul joining.

Minutes later, Shi Yan had cleaned all the toxin and understood around 70% or 80% of Han Cui's feelings and memories. He then left her Sea of Consciousness.

This woman didn't have good fortune, but she hadn't made many mistakes. She was just a little bit stubborn...

As he knew her secrets and her feelings now, when Shi Yan looked at Han Cui, he didn't hate her as much as before. He had sympathy for her, as he knew that she had been through so many difficulties in her life, and she had been making endless efforts just to prove herself. However, she couldn't fulfill her wishes, which led her to the wrong track making many mistakes.

The host souls came back to their own places.

Shi Yan opened his eyes, looking at Han Cui with a complicated complexion. However, he was friendlier now. "Are you alright?"

"I'm okay..." Han Cui's eyes were a bit dim, looking at him blankly. "You... do you know all things about me?" She was a sensitive woman. Although Shi Yan's change was minor, she could feel what had happened.

"No," Shi Yan shook his head.

Han Cui didn't say anything or felt happy after the toxin in her soul was washed off. Quite the contrary, she felt sad, as the secrets in her heart were now known by a stranger. She didn't feel well due to this. It irritated her. Compared to losing her virginity, this caused her to feel more disgraceful.

"Oh…"

At this moment, Ba Si Teng released a happy groan. The big gold cocoon covering him disappeared, leaving no trace, and the gold halo gradually retreated into his body.

A vigorous, arbitrary aura that couldn't be controlled burst out of him. The man opened his eyes, his pupils now gold. This was extremely strange and mysterious.

"Shi Yan, thank you," Ba Si Teng thanked him sincerely. He then said joyfully, "I've entered the Peak Sky Realm! It's too marvelous!"

Chapter 520: Understand tacitly

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Before the God Blood fusion, Ba Si Teng had had only the Nirvana Realm cultivation base. Using the God Blood Key, he had entered the Third Sky of Sky Realm directly from the Nirvana Realm. This amazing change had Shi Yan drop his jaw in awe.

"Peak Sky Realm?" Shi Yan asked disbelievingly.

Ba Fei was way too joyful. She was so excited that she didn't know how to behave, just screaming constantly. "Wow! You are at the Peak Sky Realm now? It... Is it that miraculous?"

Ba Si Teng laughed contentedly, "Yes, it's true. This God Blood is so marvelous! Not only does it have the massive power, but also the power inheritance of our Ba family. But, at the moment, I can't comprehend it all. This means I can easily grow more to reach the Spirit Realm directly!"

Hearing him, even the four women of the Ice Emperor City put on a shocked countenance.

"Good! Very good!" Shi Yan smiled. "Ba-ge does have good fortune rocketing to the sky! It's been hard for you for many years. Now, you got it all back to you. From now on, your cultivating path will be pretty smooth. Seems you'll reach the Spirit Realm even earlier than me. Haha, Ba-ge, you're excellent!"

Ba Si Teng looked at him with appreciation, "All thanks to you. If you didn't help me get the God Blood Key, my efforts would have been in vain. Meeting you in Ice Emperor City is the biggest fortunate event of my whole life. I will never forget your favor!"

Ba Si Teng vowed solemnly. If he were a woman, perhaps he would have paid Shi Yan with his body.

"We share the same origin. Your words are too polite. We should help each other in the future too. It's our ancestors' wishes. We should unite and support each other."

Ba Si Teng and Ba Fei nodded continually.

"Shi Yan, this is your Cold Chalcedony drop. You can use it..."

Leng Dan Qing hesitated for a while, then took out an ice crystal bottle from her Storage Ring, which contained a drop of an amber liquid with dense cold air moving around. After the bottle appeared, the temperature of the Ice Hall dropped down. A strange cold spiritual Qi gushed out from that tiny bottle.

"Third Sister, what are you..." Bing Qing Tong was bewildered. "The Cold Chalcedony's really precious. Can you just give it out like that?"

Leng Dan Qing nodded as frankly as she had never been. She walked to Shi Yan, throwing the bottle to him, "For you."

Shi Yan looked at her with surprise.

Han Cui thought, then took out her Cold Chalcedony, walking towards Shi Yan, "For you. You should have it."

"Ah, like I've said before, I need only two drops of the Cold Chalcedony." Shi Yan shook his head, his face odd. "I used to think that the City Master and precursor Shuang would give me. Well, turns out you guys did it. Haha, it's out of my imagination."

"Shuang... Precursor Shuang?" Shuang Yu Zhu's face chilled as she rolled her eyes. "Why did you call me precursor? Do I look much older than them?"

"Ah!" Shi Yan shook his head embarrassedly. "No, no… I respect you, so I called you precursor."

"I don't want your respect!" Shuang Yu Zhu's face was getting colder.

Shi Yan beamed a forced smile, "Alright, I have no comments then. Two drops of the Cold Chalcedony are enough. I'll keep my promise. I'm going to make you an ice chamber. Later, I'll be leaving the Ice Emperor City, and I will never come back."

Shuang Yu Zhu snorted.

Bing Qing Tong, Leng Dan Qing, and Han Cui changed their faces. Especially Leng Dan Qing, she went ashen, while crying, "You b*stard! You don't even consider that we've treated you well, do you?"

"Oh, we... I think we don't have any complicated relationship, do we?" Shi Yan was stunned.

Leng Dan Qing was raging, rolling her eyes at him, "I don't allow you to go!"

"What do you have to control me?"

"I have, I have..." Leng Dan Qing screamed, then snorted, "I have nothing. But you are not going anywhere. If you want to go, I'll go with you. Unless you kill me, I'll follow you everywhere."

She was playing hard.

Shi Yan felt a headache coming. The situation he was afraid of the most had happened. After Leng Dan Qing had joined soul with him, she had a better understanding of his characteristics. She knew he wasn't a heartless man, so she used this whining method to entangle him, not wanting to let him go.

This rascal situation couldn't be solved with reasoning. Shi Yan had no way. This woman could be shameless, which troubled him much.

"You want to go with me? Don't be that unreasonable, please… We didn't have anything together. Just consider nothing has happened. Just let it go. Okay?" Shi Yan smiled miserably.

"No!"

Obviously, Leng Dan Qing didn't want to talk reason with him. She shook her head. "I'm going with you. If you leave, I'll leave with you. If you are heartless, just kill me right now."

She walked to Shi Yan, lifted her head up just like a goat waiting to be slaughtered, waiting for Shi Yan to take her life.

"Do you think that I don't dare to do that?" Shi Yan's face filled with impatience, sneering.

"Kill me. You saved me, so if you kill me now, I won't blame you!" Leng Dan Qing lifted her head, arching her breasts which made them almost touch his chest. She harrumphed. "Do it! Do it! Dying in your hand, I have no regret. Come take my life. I won't blame you!" She cried sweetly. Her orchid-fragranced breath and sweet aroma stormed into his nostrils. Her ample bosom was pressing on his body, caressing it gently as if she was doing it unconsciously.

Shi Yan couldn't control himself remembering the wonderful things on her body when her generous bosom was touching him. It was hard to take action.

"I don't care!" Shi Yan harrumphed, proactively stepping back to avoid the woman. Indignance filled him, but he couldn't do anything to vent it out. He then said with a cold face, "Don't waste my time. Find an ice chamber, and I'll enhance the cold air inside for you guys. It should help accelerate your speed in cultivating the Ice Jade Technique."

Leng Dan Qing eyed him while giggling. She knew she had defeated him, and her face looked contented.

Shi Yan was distraught. He hadn't left yet, and just urged Bing Qing Tong to be hurried.

Bing Qing Tong's beautiful eyes sparkled with interest while she was eyeing Shi Yan and Leng Dan Qing, seeming to get what he was thinking, "We aren't hurried. It's late today, so we should take a rest and start it tomorrow. Haha, Shi Yan, ask your friends to stay too. We are always bored here, as not many people come to visit us. No need to be so cautious."

"Why don't we do it now?" Shi Yan was impatient.

"We're too tired today," Bing Qing Tong were flirty, revealing her graceful curves. Her often cold and clear eyes were like they were washed with spring water, as she threw Shi Yan some look. Shi Yan was touched, and couldn't press down his arousal.

Ba Si Teng and his sister were bewildered, seeing Shi Yan and the other four snowflakes of the Ice Emperor City exchanging flirty looks. They all praised him secretly.

Ba Si Teng's eyes brightened, admiring Shi Yan. He thought that Shi Yan was way too strong. Although he didn't know what the young man had done to make the four beauties of the Ice Emperor City, who were always elegant and cold, follow him.

Only the God of Love could do such deeds!

"Alright, tomorrow then." Shi Yan felt begrudging. He knew he shouldn't quarrel with women. "Ba-ge, make yourself home. This place is spacious anyways.

"Haha, it's alright, alright. You don't need to worry about us." Ba Si Teng winked at him. "Bro, you have to take care of your body. Somethings are really awesome, but if you do them too much, it will harm your body."

Shi Yan felt awkward. He thought that this hefty man was a simple-hearted fella, but why did he start talking about such stuff?

"Hey big man, what did you just say?" Shuang Yu Zhu shouted. She understood the meaning, and her face turned cold.

"Nothing, nothing... Muahahaha." Ba Si Teng smiled embarrassedly. He constantly cried while retreating, "Hey, we won't bother you. Little sister, let's go." Then, he chuckled, walking out of the place with a strange face.

"I'll go with you," Shi Yan darkened his face, attempting to walk out.

"Wait a minute. I have something to talk to you," Leng Dan Qing smiled, her eyes sparkling. Her gait was the acme of beauty as she walked towards him. She didn't feel shy, clutching his arm. "Go. I'll take you to the quiet and comfortable room."

She was pulling and dragging him out of the Ice Hall, not caring whether he was willing or not.

Han Cui's face was as cold as ice. Her eyes gazed at Shi Yan without blinking, then she snorted, "Didn't she strongly oppose our connection with Shi Yan previously? Well, how about now? Isn't it enticing? Harrumph. Acting! I did think that she was pure. Well, when the call is out, she's much faster than anyone else!"

"Sister, your words seem to be a little sour, huh?" Shuang Yu Zhu ridiculed.

"I..." Han Cui opened her mouth, speaking indignantly, "Well, I think not long from now, our Third Sister will surpass us."

"You mean... She wants to use that method again?" Shuang Yu Zhu's face reddened.

"Of course, she will. What do you think?" Han Cui spoke like she knew everything. "She knows she can use that boy to increase her Ice Jade Technique. She's experienced once, so she should know. Hmm, I think Shi Yan can't rest tonight. If Third Sister really wants to do that, that little pervert can never resist her."

Having heard her words, Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu became more embarrassed, their eyes getting more awkward.

"I'm not talking about you guys. If you can be like her, I think that boy can't resist us. To a man, what's stronger than beauty?" Han Cui hesitated for a while and then continued with a lower voice, "Well, I did peek in his heart. This guy is a real pervert! I think he faked his resistance. You guys should be more active, and he will surrender for sure. Perhaps, he would stay in the Ice Emperor City forever."

"I, I can't be like Third Sister..." Bing Qing Tong's face as red, as if she was about to bleed. She shook her head continually, as she was a little bit shocked.

"Well, it's not necessary. You guys can appear at the critical moments and reveal your will. When he's high, how can he resist it? Men are always like that. I know what he thinks!" Han Cui tried to manipulate her sisters.

Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu blushed. They were hesitant, but later, they seemed to be moved.

Chapter 521: Tender aroma

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Inside a wing room in the Southwest of the City Master's Palace…

This wing room didn't look spacious, with a thick feather blanket and wool rugs in it. The walls were decorated with foliage and spiritual beast carvings. Standing in the middle of the room was a big incense burner, diffusing out a fragrant smoke Beside the censer was a soft bed, which was lit up with precious gems.

Ten walnut-sized gems shimmered there, illuminating the building brightly, without any gloomy corners.

Insects could be heard singing, and the breeze came into the room through the window, as the flame flickered.

"What the heck are you doing?" Shi Yan frowned as he was mad at the woman standing in front of him. He said coldly, "I think we don't have anything to talk about, do we?"

Leng Dan Qing smiled tenderly. Her white hand was still hooked his arm, as she hadn't let him go yet.

When she heard him say that, she wasn't angry at all, just smiled and sweetly talked to him. "When our host soul joined, didn't you see my secrets? Harrumph, you know everything about me. Tell me, what should we do now?"

Shi Yan was surprised, giving her a forced smile. "I was saving you! Moreover, you have a lot of my secrets, too. I'll call it quits. I don't owe you anything."

"You owed me something!" Leng Dan Qing gritted her teeth, her face ashen. She sat down on her bed. "In the jungle, you violated me. Unlike my Big Sister and Fourth Sister, I'm your victim."

"But I've just saved you!"

"You bullied my soul. How about that?"

"Don't be so unreasonable. If you didn't agree, I couldn't intrude your Sea of Consciousness. It's you who asked me to do that."

"You don't want to admit your debt!"

"What debt?"

"You have to be responsible for me." Leng Dan Qing smiled tenderly. Her watery eyes shimmered as she bumped into him all of a sudden. She pressed her soft, curvy body onto his and then whispered sweetly. "I know you like my body..."

"Can you be a bit decent?" Shi Yan was shy. Strange feelings arose from the bottom of his heart as his body reacted unconsciously.

"You can't be serious…" Leng Dan Qing giggled. Her white jade hand stroked his body as she suddenly exclaimed, "So hard."

Shi Yan's body shook, his face stiff.

"Well, someone else has enjoyed this body... I can..." Leng Dan Qing whispered, then tucked her sweet tongue out, licking his ear. The tip of her tongue moved around his earlobe.

Just like thunderbolt struck on the flame, Shi Yan's eyes got hotter, pushing Leng Dan Qing onto the bed while snarling. "You bring it on!"

Leng Dan Qing blushed, unable to hide her smile. Her body was swaying like a water snake, intentionally showing off her generous bosom, "Yeah, I'm willing. Come here."

Shi Yan didn't pretend to be polite, jumping on her.

A spring atmosphere colored the whole room.

Outside the room, Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu blushed on listening to the low moaning like the voice of mosquitoes. Their bodies felt strange, their eyes watery; they were aroused.

The two women stood there for quite a long time, but they were hesitant as they couldn't press down the shyness to walk through that door.

Han Cui was eavesdropping for a while, winking at the two other women, telling them that the situation inside was now high and that they should get in.

Shuang Yu Zhu shook her head with a reddened face, just like a frightened bunny.

Bing Qing Tong couldn't get over herself. As the City Master of the Ice Emperor City, she had always maintained her purity. She had never shown any man her womanly side, let alone seducing someone. She couldn't adapt to this sudden change.

"If you miss it, you will regret for the rest of your life." Han Cui muttered under her breath as she saw the other two hesitate. "Even if you aren't going to do that for yourself, you are sacrificing for the future of our Ice Emperor City. Just a little sacrifice to exchange for an unimaginable bright future, I think it's worth in any aspect. Moreover, he can help improve our Ice Jade Technique!" Han Cui's pretty eyes lit up.

Under her convincing words, Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu considered, then nodded, slowly strolling into the room with great shyness.

"Oh, you guys?" Shi Yan jolted up from Leng Dan Qing's lower body that was like a flexible water snake. He was so ashamed on looking at Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu.

"You can't just favor one and ignore the others." Bing Qing Tong pretended to be calm, but her neck was all pink. She didn't dare to look at the two people on the bed, walking gracefully while her snow-white robe cascaded down from her body. She tenderly came over, putting her naked rear end on the bed.

Shi Yan looked at her with scorching eyes, and couldn't help but gulp, his breathing short and heavy.

Shuang Yu Zhu hadn't undressed yet. When she got near them, she cocked her head and slowly pulled down her robe, revealing her generous creamy bosom. Still, she didn't dare to look at him in the eye, whispering as if she could deceive people and even herself with her reason. "That sensual Vanish Mind Smoke hasn't been over yet..."

"Yeah, still a little bit there." Bing Qing Tong's face also reddened. She let out a slight sigh, talking as if she was dreaming.

Shi Yan gawked for three seconds. He snorted, then pulled the two women down to the bed. The spring scenery became more beautiful.The second day…

Shi Yan woke up leisurely, only feeling exhausted.

The absurd images of last night flashed in his head. He sat up dully on the bed, and after a long white, he burst out a strange smile.

The tender aroma was the hero's tomb; it was true indeed. Even his sturdy body couldn't endure the three beautiful women, who were like wolves and tigresses.

"Young master Yan, you woke up. This is the food the City Master and the three Elders fixed for you. It's good for your body. You should have it while it's still hot." From a square table in the room, a fat girl with a freckled face and average appearance was talking to him. She eyed him curiously, then smiled at him.

Shi Yan was astonished.

He hesitated for a while, then put on his clothes... When he saw the food on the table, his face changed.

Bull bone marrow, black-boned chicken, venison, and tiger penis soup… Did they want to use him to death?

"Hehe. Take your time and enjoy. These courses are cooked by our City Master and the three Elders. They spent lots of efforts." The maid didn't linger, regarded him and then left.

Looking at the table full of food which was good for his kidneys, Shi Yan felt both warm and scared, his face complicated.

The sun rose. He swept through the whole table of food before walking out of the wing room.

Stopping a maid and asking her for information, he knew that Bing Qing Tong and the other three women weren't in the Palace. She didn't know where they went, just told him to stay because they would come back shortly.

Shi Yan's face darkened. He had a headache thinking that they were going out to collect something good for his 'male health.'

He couldn't stay for long in this Ice Emperor City, half a month at most. Otherwise, these women would drain him. These women, when they went crazy, they were unreasonable, and he couldn't talk them through. Recalling last night's scene when they were laying their hands on him like snatching food, he shivered in fear.

"Shi Yan, you woke up late, didn't you?" Ba Si Teng appeared from nowhere, giggling and winking at him. "How was last night?"

"How was what?" Shi Yan was bewildered.

"Haha, don't fool me." Ba Si Teng looked wretched as if he knew everything. He talked with a low voice. "Last night when I was cultivating, I released my Soul Consciousness and found something."

"What did you find?" Shi Yan tried to pretend.

"Alright, I knew it. Haha… Bro, you're dangerous. I admire your ability in that aspect. It's much stronger than your cultivation base... Later on, please teach me something. Even till now, I haven't experienced the taste of any women..." Ba Si Teng sighed in regret.

"Ge, what are you talking about?" Ba Fei snorted. "Well, it's just early morning and you are so stealthy. It should be about something bad."

"Kids shouldn't ask that much." Ba Si Teng shouted, then said solemnly. "You asked me to find a sister in law for you, didn't you?"

"Eh, since when did you have that good thought?" Ba Fei sneered. "You've just gained a bit of strength, and you are having such thoughts? Later, when our Ba family becomes prosperous again, can we really count on you?"

Ba Si Teng was shamed, unable to answer his sister.

Noon...

A cold and strict voice came from outside the Ice Emperor City, "Where's the Ice Emperor City's master? Ning Du Quan especially pays you a visit."

This voice came from above the Ice Emperor City. All warriors inside the Ice Emperor City could hear it loud and clear.

In the City Master's Palace, Shi Yan arched his brows, as a vicious light flashed in his eyes.

"The head of the Ning family..." Ba Si Teng discolored. "This man cultivates the Seven-colored Poison Technique. He's a Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior, a hotshot of the Heaven Temple… A top class warrior. He's a famous warrior of the Divine Great Land. Why has he come to the Ice Emperor City all of a sudden?"

"It's because of me," Shi Yan said indifferently.

"Ah!" Ba Si Teng cried in fear. "Do you know him? Do you have any connection with him?"

"I killed the Ning's members. He comes to the Ice Emperor City to take revenge, obviously."

Ba Si Teng was bewildered. He hesitated for a while, then said through his gritted teeth. "Your enemy is my enemy. Even if he has the Third Sky of Spirit Realm, I will fight side by side with you!"

Shi Yan was surprised. He smiled, then nodded his head, "Ba-ge, you're a man with a disposition to do good. But, you don't need to mind it this time. I have my way to counter it."

"No!" Ba Si Teng shook his head. "You are my person of rank. I have to go with you. Hmm... Although the Nings are dangerous, I'm not afraid of them."

Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh

Sounds of people dashing in the wind arose. Not long after that, Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Yu Zhu, Han Cui, and Leng Dan Qing returned, their faces solemn.

"I come without an invitation. Master Bing, please forgive me." Ning Du Quan's voice resounded again as he appeared above the City Master Palace.

Chapter 522: Icebound earth and firmament

Bing Qing Tong and her sisters looked as if they were encountering their archenemy, looking at the general direction of the two arriving people, their faces stiff and solemn.

Being the head of the Ning family, Ning Du Quan had always oppressed the Ice Emperor City until now over the years. The Ice Emperor City and the Ning family were close to each other, and often competed on collecting cultivating materials. However, the Ning usually took the upper hand. Since Bing Qing Tong's level was lower than Ning Du Quan's, and the Ice Emperor City's overall competence was far behind the Ning family, they didn't dare to compete much with the Nings.

Obviously, Ning Du Quan came here this time without any good intent. This made Bing Qing Tong worry.

Ning Du Quan had the Seven-colored Poison Technique. After he had sent his voice all over the city, he and Yu Li Ming slowly landed on the City Master's Palace.

Shi Yan frowned, but he wasn't worried, just coldly looking at the master of the Ning family to see what the man would do to show his strength.

Right after Yu Li Ming landed, his snake-like eyes gazed at Shi Yan while grinning, "Kid, let see how long you can be that arrogant!"

"Oh, you haven't died yet, have you?" Shi Yan smiled, ridiculed. "Well, last time you ran away like a stray dog. I really think you don't know how to write the word "Death." Are you coming here this time to learn that word? Haha, it's good though. Let see where you can run this time."

Yu Li Ming's face was dark and gloomy. He grinned fiendishly, and didn't continue the conversation with Shi Yan. He turned to Ning Du Quan and said "Ning-ge, you've seen the kid now. Ning Qi Shan died in his hands. I think Ning Ze was also killed by this brat. Well, I assume Ning-ge wouldn't let him live until tomorrow, eh?"

Ning Du Quan nodded indifferently. He turned to Bing Qing Tong and said, "City Master Bing, I'm here not to provoke the fight between the Fighting Union and the Heaven Temple. I came here for Shi Yan. As long as you're not involved, I can assure that the Ice Emperor City and our Ning family won't be enemies. What do you think?"

Bing Qing Tong's visage was cold as she snorted, "Master Ning, until now, our Ice Emperor City and your Ning family were like river water and well water. We never interfered with each other's business. You've assigned that old freak Yu to deal with our Ice Emperor City, which has violated our relationship already. Today, you want to raise trouble in the Ice Emperor City. Tell me, isn't it a war declaration?"

"Yu Li Ming's business and our Ning family aren't related." Ning Du Quan frowned. "Master Bing, you mean that you want to protect that kid?"

"True," nodded Bing Qing Tong.

"Master Bing, my advice is that you shouldn't poke your nose in it. Your Ice Emperor City's rated lowest among the seven cities of the Fighting Union. Throughout years, our Ning family hasn't troubled your Ice Emperor City, because we think that you're just a bunch of women. We give you face, but you seem like you don't need it." Ning Du Quan's eyes and his sinister face showed that the man was losing his patience.

"Give us face?" Bing Qing Tong sneered, shaking her head. "I have never seen face here. Where is it? In these recent years, many rare cultivating materials in the big rivers or grand mountains around us were all collected by your Ning family. Whenever we had business with other warriors, you always interfered, sending them out of the place. Do you call it 'giving us face'?"

"At least, I don't allow my members to kill them." Ning Du Quan squinted. Cold light bloomed, as he was about to use up his patience.

"Not killing them means you have regards for us?" Bing Qing Tong's countenanced chilled. "So, you are swaggering in my City, and I ask you to leave now, is that not giving you face, the Headmaster of the Nings?"

"Ning-ge, why do you need to be wordy with this woman?" Yu Li Ming's fingers hiding in his sleeves spurted out poisonous smoke. An aura that made people dizzy slowly diffused from his body. He had taken action without anyone noticing him.

"You want to protect this kid?" Ning Du Quan's face was cold. "Give me a reason."

Bing Qing Tong stared at him blankly, then burst out laughing. Her beautiful eyes lingered on Shi Yan as she spoke shyly, "He's the man we've chosen. Of course, we want to be together with him. Isn't it a good reason?"

"Your man? You all?" Ning Du Quan was surprised. His dark pupils raked through Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Yu Zhu, Han Cui, and Leng Dan Qing, and then confirmed again, "All of you?"

Under his scrutinizing look, Shuang Yu Zhu and Leng Dan Qing nodded slowly.

Han Cui hesitated, but eventually gave a slight nod with a blushed face. Her countenance was strange too.

"B*tches!"

Flame burning inside Yu Li Ming just like someone had slapped him in the face. He said through gritted teeth, "Seems like the Vanish Mind Smoke this old man released had benefited that brat. You four sl*ts, I'll let you beg to be killed rather than live! Listen! Today, Yu Li Ming will make you regret that you were born into this world."

"Old dog Yu, are you saying that you would make my women want to die rather than live?" Shi Yan grinned with his cold face. "With only you? A loser that only knows how to use smoke? You couldn't leave even a scratch on my puppet, but now you dare to spout such delirious utterances?"

Hearing him, Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Yu Zhu, and Leng Dan Qing blushed as they felt sweet and excited inside.

Finally, Shi Yan acknowledged their status in front of other people. The women felt something sweet in their hearts.

"Kid, besides the external forces you borrowed, what else do you have?" Yu Li Ming thundered, but he didn't dare to take action first. He threw a murderous look at Shi Yan as his heart filled with rage. He clenched his jaw and shouted, "You can be complacent for now, kid. Let see how long you can maintain that status. I will make you watch me f*ck those four b*tches!"

"City Master Bing, I ask you once again: Do you still want to protect this kid?" Ning Du Quan took a deep breath and asked straightforwardly, as he didn't want to waste more time.

"I said it before. He's our man. We won't just stand and stare," Bing Qing Tong affirmed.

Shuang Yu Zhu, Leng Dan Qing, and Han Cui nodded.

"Good, you're seeking for death. Don't blame me for being merciless." Ning Du Quan faced up the sky and roared. His scream tore the wind and pierced through the blue sky. Seven-colored light of the rainbow radiated from him, just like a long meteor sweeping through the sky over the City Master's Palace.

The rainbow-like light oozed out, bringing with it the extremely poisonous and violent, shaking energy. Each beam of the seven-colored light bombarded on the ice rock of the palace, pierced through the wall and soared away. The ice wall couldn't resist the piercing light at all.

Rumble Rumble Rumble!

Ice buildings collapsed under the seven-colored attacking light, as thick ice blocks caved in. The City Master's Palace became a big mess. Loud, deafening explosion echoed everywhere.

"You dare destroy my palace? You're my archenemy now!" Bing Qing Tong's face chilled. All of a sudden, she muttered. "Icebound Earth and Firmament!"

When Shuang Yu Zhu, Han Cui, and Leng Dan Qing heard her, their faces got excited as they urged their Ice Jade Technique. People then saw an extreme icy cold, shaking energy soar up from the four women. This formidable energy meandered around the Palace like a long snake.

The walls surrounding the City Master Palace hid cold energy, which was all released at this moment. The temperature plunged down rapidly to an extreme degree. Also, the collapsed walls became more rigid under the cold air. Many shaking buildings that were about to collapse now seemed to have the energy to support their structures, standing firm like a stone again.

Gusts of extremely cold air shot out from the four women, running chaotically inside the Palace. The whole place started to freeze with thick ice.

Under this kind of cold Qi, even the air seemed to stagnate. Snow appeared, fluttering around, while sharp ice beams started to form.

Not long after that, numerous ice blocks gathered, forming a giant rock hovering above the Palace, blocking the whole place.

Crack crack crack!

Sounds of freezing reverberated from all corners of the City Master Palace. Every bit of properties, each piece of grass, flower or even rock inside the Palace was frozen. Massive ice rocks started to fly up to the sky under the effect of some kind of power. They turned into sharp weapons, maliciously darting towards Ning Du Quan.

The freezing energy expanded even more, and within several seconds, the whole palace became a sealed, giant ice crystal.

Looking at it from outside, the City Master Palace had disappeared, turning into a grand ice mountain. Extremely cold Qi expanded from it, raising people's goosebumps and even making people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.

The Icebound Earth and Firmament was a secret technique that needed four Spirit Realm warriors to join hands and perform it. However, it needed an ice-cold place to be cast out successfully.

Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Yu Zhu, Han Cui, and Leng Dan Qing didn't get along well. They often competed fiercely, so they had never joined hands to perform the Ice Jade Technique. That's why people had never seen this marvelous Icebound Earth and Firmament technique.

Today, since everything was related to Shi Yan, the four women of the Ice Emperor City had united to show off the Icebound Earth and Firmament. It covered the entire Palace instantly, freezing it. Under the coverage of so many beams of the icy energy, the temperature dropped down rapidly.

The cold Qi on their bodies became heavier, as their faces got colder with time. Cold energy exuded from their bodies and accelerated to the acme, which frightened people.

"I didn't expect that you have such a secret technique. No wonder why you weren't afraid." Ning Du Quan changed his face. "Seems this Icebound Earth and Firmament Technique is the most dangerous strike you have. No wonder why so many people have had dark thoughts towards your city but none of them succeeded. Turns out you have the Icebound Earth and Firmament."

"Master Ning, we don't want to be on the opposite side to you. If you leave now, we won't bear any grudges." Bing Qing Tong's face became stiff and solemn. "The Fighting Union and the Heaven Temple have nothing related to this. We don't want this to accelerate to a war between the two. If you leave now, we'll consider nothing had happened."

"Wow, City Master Bing's kind, indeed." Ning Du Quan cracked a cold smile. "What a pity that I'm the kind of person who will take revenge for the slightest grievance. This time I come here, I won't go back without the head of that brat. And I won't stop until I get it."

"Master Ning has such confidence?" Bing Qing Tong felt something wrong here.

"Although your Icebound Earth and Firmament joint technique is intimidating, you've been poisoned. Let see how long you guys can endure." Ning Du Quan was arrogant. "When my Seven-colored Poisonous Technique's cast out, its toxin can poison any creatures in the surrounding hundred li. Your Icebound Earth and Firmament has blocked the entire palace, which makes all the poison gather inside the place. I'm afraid you guys would be affected more severely."

The four of Bing Qing Tong's group discolored.

Chapter 523: Seven-colored Poison Technique

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Ning Du Quan finished, after which all people in the City Master Palace had their expressions changed in terror.

"Ah!"

Miserable, pitiful cries echoed from everywhere in the Palace. People then saw many housemaids of the City Master Palace being decomposed with a speed that naked eyes could observe, turning into puddles of blood.

Most of the housemaids in the Palace had low cultivation bases. They were only at the Earth Realm or the Disaster Realm.

Warriors at this level had nothing to resist the Seven-colored Poison Technique from a Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior. They died because of the poison got into their bones and marrow. They didn't have the time to bring out any responses.

Soon, all the maids in the Palace were killed. None of them were lucky enough to escape death. All of them now were blood puddles, a tragic death indeed.

Bing Qing Tong was extremely sorrowful. She shouted in rage. "Ning Du Quan, you won't have a decent death! You didn't spare even the housemaids with your Seven-colored Poison Technique. You do want to start the war between the Fighting Union and the Heaven Temple!"

"I want to make the people in the Ice Emperor City vanish. The Ice Emperor City will be a dead city!" Ning Du Quan smiled coldly and then continued talking. "If it weren't because of the Icebound Earth and Firmament you released, the entire Ice Emperor City would have been like this Palace. Under the Seven-colored Poison Technique, no one can survive in the surrounding within hundred li, not even an insect underground!"

"This moment onwards, our Ice Emperor City and your Ning family can't coexist!" Bing Qing Tong's face reddened, talking through her gritted teeth.

Shuang, Han Cui, and Leng Dan Qing had the same grudge. Their faces were emotional and indignant, as if they wanted to risk their life with Ning Du Quan.

"Can't coexist..." Ning Du Quan sneered, "I've advised you a lot of times, but you are so stubborn. Those maids died because of you. When I'm taking action, I'm merciless. Today, I will erase your Ice Emperor City from the list of the Seven Cities of the Fighting Union!"

"You are so ruthless!" Bing Qing Tong panted, her face changing dramatically. All of a sudden, she sat down at her spot.

Shuang Yu Zhu, Han Cui, and Leng Dan Qing also knew that it was a dangerous situation. They didn't think much, sitting cross-legged, urging their Ice Jade Technique to the limit. Countless icicles appeared in the City Master Palace, tearing the wind and stabbing towards Ning Du Quan like rows of sharp swords.

Tens of thousands of sharp icicles were as dense as a cloud of grasshoppers. They were sharp and many as if they were packing the whole place, aiming at Ning Du Quan.

Each icicle kept the extremely cold Qi that could break everything.

The four Spirit Realm warriors were condensing the Cold Qi in their Icebound Earth and Firmament, which created an attack power that even Ning Du Quan didn't dare to underestimate. He had to prepare himself well to counter the attack.

Halos of seven-colored light shot out from his body, creating a seven-colored membrane covering him like armor. Inside that thin membrane was the frightening evil energy. When the sharp icicles shot forward, the seven-colored light smashed them down.

Ning Du Quan's face was ruthless as he spoke with a cold voice, "Just release all of your power! I want to see how long you can endure. As you're poisoned by my Seven-colored Poisonous Technique, you need to resist the toxin in your bodies at the same time. You will have to consume your energy faster. Well, you'll die soon. If you want to die earlier, just use all of your strength. I'm waiting to see how long you can resist."

Yu Li Ming laughed oddly, "Ning-ge, your Seven-colored Poisonous Technique is awesome. It seems the Ning family is rightly ranked the first in Heaven Temple, and its fame is true, indeed."

Ning Du Quan was contented.

At this moment, Ba Fei's face turned seven-colored. Her legs were soft, and she couldn't stand firm. She trembled and then collapsed.

She had only the Nirvana Realm cultivation base. In this place, her realm was the lowest. After the Seven-colored poison got into her body, she appeared to not be able to withstand for long.

"Ge, I...I..." Ba Fei's face was seven-colored. Her voice faded down, looking at Ba Si Teng with frightened eyes.

Ba Si Teng was like an enraged beast. He suddenly became strong and wild, shouting, "Ning Du Quan! Give me the antidote! Or else, I'll destroy the whole Ning family!"

Ning Du Quan was surprised, throwing him a strange glance, then shook his head, "A kid with only Sky Realm but dares to talk arrogantly to me? Well, you don't know how high is the sky, do you? Kid, in a very short moment, you will turn into blood. Are you going to haunt my Ning family after you die?"

He completely looked down on Ba Si Teng, just gave him a glance and then turned around.

"I'm going to risk my life with you!"

Ba Si Teng roared, as a dazzling gold light shot out from his body. An arbitrary, ominous power burst out like a volcano eruption, expanding vehemently.

At this moment, Ba Si Teng looked like a gold sun, carrying the aggressive supernatural power with him, soaring to the sky towards Ning Du Quan.

In the middle of the air, Ba Si Teng was now a golden man with the fierce, crazy aura.

Ning Du Quan discolored. He concentrated and then said with surprise. "Oh, this kid has such powers. Not bad. seems you can borrow external forces too."

Ning Du Quan smashed his left hand into the void. A seven-colored poisonous python appeared in the air, baring its fangs at Ba Si Teng. The giant serpent sprayed out seven-colored smoke, covering Ba Si Teng.

The toxic smoke was mysterious, as it turned into a seven-colored membrane enveloping Ba Si Teng.

Ning Du Quan disdained, curled his lips and said with a cold voice. "Just a boorish fella. You have extraordinary strength, but you don't know how to utilize it."

Shi Yan stood indifferently, just watched the event happening in the City Master Palance. He seemed not wanting to take action.

However, whether it was Ning Du Quan or Yu Li Ming, even when they were talking to the others, they all kept an eye on him cautiously.

Before they came here, Ning Du Quan knew about Shi Yan from Yu Li Ming's words. He knew that Shi Yan was the most dangerous person here. Not only he had the War Devil, which was as strong as a Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior, but also some high levels beasts. Thus, the two of them still preserved their powers to battle with the young man.

Shi Yan frowned, looking at the chaotic situation of the Palace and Ba Fei crouching on the ground. He thought, then walked toward Ba Fei.

He kept silent because he wanted to check if the four women of Bing Qing Tong's group and Ba Si Teng were worth forming a relationship with. As an old saying said, true hearts were revealed in adversity. If it weren't the worst situation, it would be hard to realize someone's real conduct.

No matter what good words Bing Qing Tong and Ba Si Teng told him before, at the critical moment, if they decided to save their lives first, Shi Yan wouldn't feel strange.

He just wanted to see if Bing Qing Tong's group and Ba Si Teng were as good as he thought through this difficult time. The fact showed him that they didn't fail his expectation.

He felt warm inside. He had what he wanted, and now, it was time to take action.

Shi Yan reached Ba Fei, mused for a while, then put his palm on her shoulder. In just a blink, the acme cold of the Ice Cold Flame was absorbed into Ba Fei's body.

Shortly, Ba Fei turned into an ice sculpture. The cold energy that moved inside her body had frozen her.

Even the toxin!

Shi Yan carefully sensed to see Ba Fei's living fluctuation had been frozen temporarily by the Ice Cold Flame. He then nodded, grinned as he turned to the Ning master, "Ning Ze died at my hands, and so did Ning Qi Shan. Your Nings will die one after another in the same way. Oh yeah, including you, the head of the Ning family."

Ning Du Quan sneered, "Kiddo, are you just babbling?"

BOOM!

An explosion echoed from Ba Si Teng. From his body, which was enveloped by the seven-colored membrane, a robust energy burst out, tearing the membrane into pieces.

The ruthless, evil aura shot out from Ba Si Teng. At this moment, he looked like a gold Demogorgon, giving people a feeling of a tyrannical, wild warrior to the extreme.

Shi Yan's face changed, while his eyes shone radiantly.

Ba Si Teng had urged the God Blood in his body to obtain the power of a Second Sky of Spirit Realm warrior, even though his actual realm was just the Peak of Sky Realm!

The God Blood of the Ba family was really intimidating. The violent, robust energy that burst out from him had cracked his body, but not a drop of the Gold Blood dripped out.

Ning Du Quan's pupils shrank. He was astounded on looking at Ba Si Teng. His face stiffened, shouting, "Second Sky of Spirit Realm! Kid, did you swallow the God Blood?"

Ba Si Teng was like a provoked, enraged wild beast. Murderous aura shot out from his pupils. Resentment almost cracked his eyes as he howled, "I want you to die!"

He stormed over.

Shi Yan was surprised. He grinned, stroking the Blood Vein Ring and letting out a slight shout, "Get out!"

War Devil flew out first, turning into a black electric current and shooting towards Ning Du Quan. One second later, the Ghost Hunter, the King of Demonic Insects, and the Devouring Gold Silkworm also stormed out from the Blood Vein Ring, aiming at Yu Li Ming.

"KILL!"

Shi Yan snorted. He took a deep breath, then urged the negative power in his body. Instantly, he entered the Rampage Realm.

His eyes became red like blood. Feeling the negative energy rolling torrentially in his body, Shi Yan didn't call the Earth Flame or the Holy Spirit God, but summoned the giant mysterious sword.

In the Second Sky of Rampage Realm, with his Sky Realm cultivation base, he could boost his power to the level that only the Spirit Realm warriors could reach.

The giant mysterious sword answered him immediately. Seconds later, the sword flew out of the Blood Vein Ring, falling into his firm grip.

The negative energy in his meridians was gushing rapidly into the giant mysterious sword, while a Death Intent Domain was boiling in his heart. The bizarre eyes on the sword opened one by one, until one-third of them had opened.

Without the combined power of the Ice Cold Flame, the Holy Spirit God, and the Earth Flame, he could finally activate the giant mysterious sword after he had broken through the new realm!

Chapter 524: Desperate！

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

The Seven-colored Poisonous Technique had generated the poison that covered the whole City Master Palace, affecting all people present there… and Shi Yan was no exception.

However, after the mutation of his Petrification Marital Spirit, his body was full of strange abilities. Also, his Immortal Martial Spirit was marvelous, as it could clean all the intruding poison in just a blink of an eye.

Thus, although the poison had absorbed into his body, it didn't affect him. He didn't need to worry that his body would be decomposed in minutes.

There was another man who wasn't affected by the poison, Ba Si Teng.

As he had the God Blood flowing in his body, after the poison got into his veins, the power of the God Blood evaporated it all. Ba Si Teng's case was even better than Shi Yan's. He didn't even feel the effects of the poison in his body.

On the contrary, although Bing Qing Tong and the other three women had higher realms, without the strange powers like what Shi Yan and Ba Si Teng had, they were all poisoned. As they were using the Icebound Earth and Firmament, they also had to resist the poison in their bodies, which prevented them from performing the maximum Icebound Earth and Firmament.

"You shouldn't urge your powers now. Just protect yourself well. Leave the other things to me." Shi Yan held the giant sword in his hand, grinned and asked the four women to retrieve their Ice Jade Technique and focus on resisting the poison.

Ghost Hunter, the King of Demonic Insects, and the Devouring Gold Silkworm were dashing towards Yu Li Ming. The giant body of the Ghost Hunter had transformed to the spiky humanoid form in midair. His sharp claw held the Demonic Bell, striking towards Yu Li Ming from afar.

Ripples expanded from the Demonic Bell as heavy as a mountain, and suddenly fell on Yu Li Ming.

From ahead of them, Yu Li Ming felt the mountain-like heavy pressure put on him, making him sluggish.

Swoosh!

The giant sword slashed the air, tearing apart the Palace. A massive column of red arc light around dozens of meters long reached towards Yu Li Ming.

Crack Crack Crack!

Wherever the arc light reached, ice rocks by the Icebound Earth and Firmament cracked, scattering everywhere.

It was maliciously sharp, and pierced through everything, breaking all the obstacles on its way. In just a flash, it reached Yu Li Ming.

Several days ago, Yu Li Ming had been wounded, and now, he had to fend strenuously against the red arc light from the sword, which made his face grimace.

"Hey old dog, you only know how to dodge it, eh?" Shi Yan faced the sky, laughing out loud. The giant mysterious sword in his hand made him look like a Demogorgon. The massive sword slashed, shooting out long blood beams. A bunch of blood dragons stormed out, gazing at Yu Li Ming.

Ghost Hunter roared. A demonic Qi soared up in the sky, pouring into the Demonic Bell and making it rumble in the wind. Demonic light rippled, rushing towards him layer by layer.

The King of Demonic Insects cried as well. A strange energy struck Yu Li Ming's soul, making it shake violently. This paused his urging energy for a while, keeping him from releasing his entire earth-shaking powers as a Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior.

Grey, black, and deep green colored poison clouds exuded from Yu Li Ming, aiming for Shi Yan.

Not only did those clouds bring the bane, but also the power he had condensed. Ordinary warriors had no choice but to avoid it.

"Hmm, it's your bad luck, old fellow. Your poisonous technique is ineffective against me. I'm your nemesis!" Shi Yan grinned fiendishly. A cluster of scorching flame emerged in his palm, shooting towards those clouds of poison, burning them into ashes.

"Heaven Flame!"

Yu Li Ming's countenance changed dramatically. He cried in fear while dodging the blood light that was like a strong, flexible ribbon.

"Come here. Just try all the poison you have. I'll help you burn it all down." Shi Yan curled his lips. The giant sword in his hand slashed through the void again, and a blood lightning struck out, shooting towards Yu Li Ming.

Yu Li Ming continued avoiding it. His face became more grimaced, as he couldn't even curse.

Bing Qing Tong and the other women had their beautiful eyes blink with splendor, looking at him with shocked complexion on their faces.

At this moment, they felt at ease. They stopped urging their Ice Jade Technique, and focused on trying to withstand the bane of the Seven-colored Poisonous Technique.

As they all had the Spirit Realm cultivation base and were putting forth everything to resist the poison, they could oppress it immediately.

This Seven-colored Poison Technique had been covering a large area; thus, the amount that got into their bodies wasn't much, so the effect was limited.

Under their restraint, the poison was confined in the corners of their bodies, waiting for the good time to be cleaned.

Ning Du Quan had mastered the poisonous techniques, which meant the Seven-colored Poison Technique was just one of them. If he released more poison, Bing Qing Tong and the others wouldn't be able to endure soon.

However, Ning Du Quan was fiercely attacking Ba Si Teng with the interference of the War Devil. As these two had joined hands and attacked him, Ning Du Quan found it a bit strenuous.

In fact, he and Yu Li Ming were the same. They used poisons and understood them well. In typical situations, the warriors who got poisoned would struggle hard, and not long after that, they would be harmed badly when the poison seeped into the entire bodies, leading to a fatal consequence.

However, Ba Si Teng and the War Devil were immune to poisons. His poisons couldn't work on them and he could only use his real strength to counter them.

When cultivating poisonous techniques, they had to spend their Profound Qi to condense the poisons. This meant their powers weren't as strong as the other warriors. Thus, his actual competence was less than a real Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior. Using only the power to encounter the enemies wasn't his forte.

Fighting with Ba Si Teng and the War Devil in his disadvantaged state, he was reluctant but had no way to change it. So, just like Yu Li Ming, he fell into the same embarrassing situation.

Before they came here, he had planned that he would battle the War Devil and the Beasts, so that Yu Li Ming could kill Shi Yan instantly.

He had thought that Shi Yan was just a Sky Realm warrior. Even if he had many external forces to support him, when they were restrained, Yu Li Ming could kill him quickly.

As long as Shi Yan died, the puppet and the beasts would lose their master, and thus, they wouldn't crazily chase after him anymore. At that time, he could claim his triumph at ease. Moreover, perhaps he could tame these beasts and the fighting puppet, which would boost his competence to a new height.

He had his calculation and dark deeds planned, but he had underestimated Shi Yan. Furthermore, this Ba Si Teng appeared from nowhere. All in all, this changed situation dragged him to into a difficult position.

"Well, the Third Sky of Spirit Realm warriors are just mediocre." Shi Yan's words were cold and full of disdain. "Honestly, you should have cultivated your powers more, and you would be good one day. What a pity that it's too late!"

The powers of Ning Du Quan and Yu Li Ming in his eyes were indeed weaker than Nu Lang's, Chi Yan's, and Bo Xun's.

They were all the Third Sky of Spirit Realm warriors, but these two were much weaker than the other three. At least, when Chi Yan and Bo Xun fought with the War Devil, they didn't fall into adverse circumstances.

Under his taunting ridicule, Ning Du Quan and Yu Li Ming couldn't hold their rage. But, they didn't have any extra power to vent it out, and their faces just turned fiercer.

"You are dying. Don't you regret it? Are you desperate now?" Shi Yan provoked them unceasingly with his words to taunt their spirit and minds.

At the same time, the giant mysterious sword in his hand didn't stop swinging. Blood arc light that could destroy all creatures shot out, besieging Yu Li Ming, making him more strained.

"Oh!"

The Ghost Hunter screamed, then released the Demonic Bell. The demonic Qi in the bell burst out torrentially, covering the whole sky while expanding furiously towards Yu Li Ming.

Under layers of demonic light pressing down, Yu Li Ming's body flexed while he wanted to gather the power once again. However, the King of Demonic Insects' soul attack had reached him, so he was left bewildered in midair.

The blood ribbon light came over, halving Yu Li Ming right from his waist, while blood splashed everywhere.

Right at that moment, Shi Yan sat down cross-legged, sneered, and then released his host soul.

After Yu Li Ming's body was destroyed, his soul soon got rid of the body, attempting to flee away as fast as possible.

Shi Yan's host soul was waiting for him. At the instant the soul appeared, Shi Yan's host soul opened its third eye… A bizarre cluster of fiery flame flew out from the eyes, besieging Yu Li Ming's soul.

Sizzle Sizzle Sizzle!

The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame soon burned down Yu Li Ming's soul. It happened as fast as a flash, and his remnant in this world had been completely erased.

A surging essence Qi from his body gushed out like water, entering Shi Yan's acupuncture points.

Shi Yan was dazed, hurriedly bringing his host soul back to the body… Moreover, facing the torrential energy from Yu Li Ming's dead body, Shi Yan's face changed for the first time.

The essence Qi of a Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior, he didn't dare to underestimate how tremendous it was.

He was only at the Sky Realm. Once he absorbed this amount of energy, he didn't know what would happen. Perhaps, his meridians and acupuncture points would explode directly.

The releasing speed of the dead man's essence Qi was beyond his imagination. When his host soul got back, he sent orders to the Ghost Hunter, the King of Demonic Insects, at the Devouring Gold Silkworm to guard over him. At that moment, his meridians had been swelling immensely. The pain was beyond his control and endurance, causing his face to be twisted. He wanted to leave, but he knew it was too late.

Strands of essence Qi overflew, entering his body through his acupuncture points and shaking him entirely.

He could barely join the battle again.

He sat blankly on the ground. His face twisted, hyperventilating like he was in the bewilderment state. He was unaware of the current situation in the surroundings.

"Break!"

Ning Du Quan suddenly shouted ear-splittingly. Blood sprayed out from his mouth. He punched the ice rock covering the sky, then turned into a bunch of light, fleeing away from the Ice Emperor City towards the general direction of the Ning family.

He fled.

When Yu Li Ming died, he knew this business failed. Without any hesitation, he decided to escape the Ice Emperor City as quick as possible, not daring to linger at all.

He didn't even have time to glare at Shi Yan's bad situation, so he didn't know that Shi Yan was in an extreme danger at the moment.

Chapter 525: Self-reliance

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Ning Du Quan had escaped in panic, and the City Master Palace reappeared quietly. Shi Yan sat neatly on the ground, his face twisted, his breathing short and heavy. He was shivering badly as the power in his body started to suppress the energy in his acupuncture points.

Although Ba Si Teng had used the supernatural power of the God Blood to achieve the strength of a Second Sky of Spirit Realm warrior, he couldn't chase after Ning Du Quan, and just stared at the direction the man had escaped in without a solution.

He was more concerned about Ba Fei. After Ning Du Quan had left, Ba Si Teng restored his consciousness, coming to check his sister. Ba Si Teng descended from the sky and checked Ba Fei's breathing. When he recognized the girl was frozen, he felt at ease because he knew Shi Yan had helped them.

The four women of Bing Qing Tong's group exhaled in relief when they found that Ning Du Quan had fled away. Then, they stood up and walked towards Shi Yan.

"What happened to him?" Han Cui glared at him then shouted. "His situation's bad. Looks like he's in the bedevilment state. What...What should we do?"

Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Yu Zhu, and Leng Dan Qing were worried. They wanted to walk over there and check him thoroughly. However, when they just took a step, the Ghost Hunter, the War Devil, and the King of Demonic Insects all showed their ferocious looks. A malicious aura diffused from the Ghost Hunter, the War Devil, and the Devouring Gold Silkworm, as a warning given to the four women.

As the women had seen these monsters' abilities and saw their hostility, they felt worried but couldn't do anything. They could only stand far away from them and observe to avoid unwanted, crazy attacks from the Ghost Hunter or the War Devil.

"I don't know what happened to him. But he seems to be facing a big trouble." Bing Qing Tong was anxious and flustered. "Ba Si Teng, you know him. Can you tell what's happened to him?" Ba Si Teng had known Shi Yan before them.

Ba Si Teng forced a smile. "I don't know what happened. Anyway, I haven't known him for a long time. I know nothing about his state. Otherwise, I would help him now. At this moment, I have no way."

Have heard him say so, Bing Qing Tong and the other felt more nervous, not knowing what they should do.

At this moment, three flows of vigorous aura suddenly came from above the Ice Emperor City. They were flying at a fast speed, getting closer to the Palace. Bing Qing Tong's face changed as she became tense, shouting. "Strong hotshots are coming!"

Shuang Yu Zhu, Han Cui, Leng Dan Qing, and Ba Si Teng looked up at the sky and quietly gathered their power, ready to counter the opponents at any minute.

Shi Yan wasn't in his good condition, so the Ghost Hunter, the War Devil, and the King of Demonic Insects had to guard over him. If someone came here with a dark scheme, it would be hard for them to resist.

Bing Qing Tong was anxious.

Dazzling light zoomed over like a big meteor, falling to the Ice Emperor City with a fast speed, then landing in the City Master Palace.

"Bai Ge Sen! Bei Di and Bei Si!" Bing Qing Tong couldn't press down her surprise. She said with a solemn face, "You guys, may I know why have you visited the Ice Emperor City?"

Descending to the Palace from the sky were Bai Ge Sen of the Aoke Family, and Bei Si and Bei Di of the Banner Family. Besides, Cai Yi, Lao Li, and Lao Lun had also arrived.

Cai Yi, Lao Li, and Lao Lun came right to Shi Yan and called him after they had landed.

"Shi Yan, you've come to the Divine Great Land. You b*stard, you didn't visit our White Emperor City first!" Cai Yi smiled charmingly, her sleeves fluttering while her eyes sparkling.

"Shi Yan bro, haha, we meet again! It's terrific. I thought we need to wait eighteen years to see you here. I didn't expect that it would be this soon." Lao Li laughed, his face excited. "Now that you've come to the Divine Great Land, we have to treat you really, really well. Oh, who are you?"

As they were coming near, the War Devil shot out a destructive aura.

Cai Yi, Lao Li, and Lao Lun discolored. After a while, Bai Ge Sen, Bei Di, and Bei Si came. Their faces were solemn when they stood in front of Cai Yi, and brothers Lao Li, Lao Lun, preventing them from going further.

Bai Ge Sen, Bei Di, and Bei Si all had an exquisite cultivation base, so they could see that Shi Yan wasn't in the right state. The aura of the War Devil was hostile. They had to worry for their descendants, so they had to shield them from the unwanted attack.

"You guys?" Bing Qing Tong was surprised, looking at them. "You came to our Ice Emperor City for Shi Yan?"

Bai Ge Sen, Bei Si, and Bei Di nodded, smiling at her. Bei Di explained, "Shi Yan saved Lao Li and Lao Lun in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist. I know he seemed to have a grudge against the Nings, so I was worried about him and came here to check it. What happened?"

The Palace was freezing, and there were many collapsed ice buildings. It seemed like there had been a big fight here recently.

"Oh, you came to support him?" Bing Qing Tong sighed, then smiled. "Ning Du Quan just left. If you had arrived earlier, Ning Du Quan would have died by now."

"Ah!" Bai Ge Sen released a light sigh, his look strange. He was hesitant for a while, then asked, "Master Bing, you guys have expelled Ning Du Quan out of the Ice Emperor City? We never thought that the Ice Emperor City could be that strong. Seems we have underestimated Master Bing's ability."

"Not me," Bing Qing Tong shook her head. Her soft, white hand pointed at Shi Yan as she spoke up tenderly. "Without him, I'm afraid the Ice Emperor City would have been erased."

The surprise in Bai Ge Sen's eyes grew. Light flashed in his eyes. "You are saying that all because of Shi Yan?"

"Yes," nodded Bing Qing Tong.

This also shocked Bei Di. He was astounded, shaking his head, "The next wave pushes away the previous one on the long river. I didn't expect that this kid could be that brilliant. Haha, we have moved unnecessarily. Ning Du Quan's a top hotshot in the Heaven Temple. Your Ice Emperor City hasn't suffered a great loss this time, which surprises people a lot."

"Da-ge, I've told you, this kid has many strange and mysterious deeds. Normal kids would never be as excellent as he is. Do you believe me now?" Bei Si smiled.

Bei Di nodded, "I do now."

"Thanks for coming. Although it's temporarily solved, I still have to thank you." Bing Qing Tong hesitated for a while and then thanked the others.

Bai Ge Sen was a bit embarrassed. He waved his hand and smiled, "Master Bing's just polite. We come to the Ice Emperor City for Shi Yan. Well, it's not because the General Union had sent us the information, so..."

Bing Qing Tong was a smart woman. She got the idea in his talk right away, but still, she said, "It's the same. I would like to say thanks on behalf of Shi Yan, too."

Bai Ge Sen, Bei Di, and Bei Di were stunned, their faces odd.

What did she mean? What was the relationship between Shi Yan and her? They had come here for Shi Yan, not for her Ice Emperor City. What did she depend on to say thanks on behalf of him?

Bai Ge Sen and the other two were bewildered.

Bing Qing Tong just beamed a faint smile, but she didn't explain anything. All of a sudden, her black brows slammed together as she asked with great concern. "Can you take a look at Shi Yan now to see if he meets anything dangerous? He killed Yu Li Ming, burned down his soul, and then he turned like that. We're worried about him."

"Kill... He killed Yu Li Ming? The old freak Yu?" Bai Ge Sen was scared, unable to believe his ears. He asked to confirm again, "The Third Sky of Spirit Realm Yu Li Ming? Him?"

Bing Qing Tong nodded.

Bai Ge Sen contemplated. Divine light radiated from his eyes as he gazed at Shi Yan for a long while.

Bei Di and Bei Si dropped their jaws with a frightened face, looking at him disbelievingly.

"Wow, Shi Yan, our old bro has been that intimidating?" Lao Li couldn't hide his groan. He was like he got struck by lightning, his face thrilled. "This... This is awesome, so terrific, right? I know he's extraordinary. When we were in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, he used his Nirvana Realm cultivation base to kill the Sky Realm warriors. And now he could kill a Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior. This is so scary, right?"

Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Yu Zhu, and Leng Dan Qing looked at the expression in their eyes and an unknown pride rose in their hearts.

He was the man they had chosen. He should be that extraordinary!

The three women thought and felt proud. It was natural. As long as it was what Shi Yan did, it should be normal for it to even go beyond their imagination.

"Is he poisoned?" Bai Ge Sen was shocked. He gathered himself together, frowned, and then asked, "Ning Du Quan are good at using poisonous techniques. Yu Li Ming's the same. Those two have a deep understanding of using banes. During the fight, they can poison the enemies without letting them recognize it. So, is it the poison in Shi Yan's body bursting out?"

People's eye lit up when they heard him say that. They all agreed with this assumption.

"If he's poisoned, what should we do?" Lao Li scratched his head. "Shi Yan-ge has many ferocious beasts watching him now. Even if we want to help him, I'm afraid we can't do anything. Moreover, Yu Li Ming and Ning Du Quan are the hotshots specializing in using poisons. The poisons they use wouldn't be easy to treat."

"It's true." Bai Ge Sen mused. "I have an Immaculate Panacea pellet here. I heard that it can treat all kinds of poison. We can try... But, I need to approach him..."

"Is it the Immaculate Panacea refined by Spirit Treasure Sect?" Bing Qing Tong's beautiful eyes brightened.

"It's the Sacred level pellet refined by the Spirit Treasure Sect, the Immaculate Panacea." Bai Ge Sen beamed a faint smile. "Our Cai Yi owed him a favor. Although this Immaculate Panacea's precious, I'm willing to give it to this kid. But I don't know how to get near him."

Even Bai Ge Sen was afraid of the aura the War Devil and the Ghost Hunter exuded. Under their wary eyes, he didn't dare to move rashly.

By the time people were still struggling to find a way, Shi Yan's red eyes suddenly restored. He said, "Please give the Immaculate Panacea to Ba Fei. I'm not poisoned. You guys don't need to worry about me. No need to interfere, either. I'll need to deal with my strange status myself."

"Solve it yourself?" Bing Qing Tong looked worried. "Would any problems arise?"

"No problem." Shi Yan gritted his teeth, shifting his look to Bai Ge Sen. "Please give the Immaculate Panacea to Ba Fei, please."

Bai Ge Sen was surprised, turning around, "Who's Ba Fei?"

"She's my younger sister," Ba Si Teng was happy, hurriedly answered him.

Bai Ge Sen nodded and took out the Immaculate Panacea pellet, giving it to Ba Si Teng, "Use it with cold water."

"Thank you." Ba Si Teng was anxious about his sister. After he received the Immaculate Panacea pellet, he didn't hesitate and started to help her treat her poison.

"Qing Tong, I can't move now. Please bring me to the wing room where I stayed last night," said Shi Yan.

Bing Qing Tong's face reddened. She responded to him with the voice like a mosquito, then hurriedly walked to him.

Leng Dan Qing and Shuang Yu Zhu were bewildered, but soon gathered themselves and walked to him.

As they had received his order, the War Devil, the Ghost Hunter, and the King of Demonic Insects didn't stop the women. The three of them approached him, using their small hands to support his shoulder and waist, then led him to the absurd room he'd stayed in last night. The War Devil, Ghost Hunter and the King of Demonic Insects followed them.

Strange light moved in Han Cui's eyes. She hesitated a little bit and then walked into that room with a blushed face.

Bai Ge Sen, Bei Di, Bei Si, and the others were stunned, their eyes gradually strange.

They all heard what Shi Yan used to address the woman. 'Qing Tong,' this close call came out from his mouth with a little bit intimacy. If he weren't close to her, he wouldn't use it.

However, the City Master of the Ice Emperor City didn't snap back but blushed and accepted it. What kind of situation was this?

Up till now, Bing Qing Tong always kept herself pure. Her manners were always icy-cold to others. She seemed to have no interest in men. It'd been years and they had never heard any rumors about her. This showed that Bing Qing Tong was very self-respecting.

Shi Yan had addressed her in much close manner, and she didn't thunder at him. Quite the contrary, she seemed to be happy with it. Well, everybody could guess their relationship for now...

Soon, Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Yu Zhu, and Leng Dan Qing supported Shi Yan to get out of the scene.

Bai Ge Sen, Bei Di, and Bei Si exchanged their confusing looks. They were bewildered for a long time, their minds filled with thoughts.

"Shi Yan bro's really dangerous. I bow to show my admiration for him." Lao Li suddenly gave a compliment, his face showing his commendation. "He arrived at the Ice Emperor City not long ago, but he's already subdued the City Master. Such deed indeed surprises people a lot."

"I really admire Shi Yan bro. It's much deeper than his real competence." Lao Lun nodded continually as if the words touched his heart.

Cai Yi snorted then said coldly, "Men simple are no good!"

"Little brother, well, Shi Yan and the City Master, what's their relationship?" Bai Ge Sen was hesitant, but still, he asked Ba Si Teng for information.

Ba Si Teng held his Immaculate Panacea pellet while grinning, "Haha, it's what you are thinking. Elder Shuang and Elder Leng are very close to Shi Yan. Get it?"

Bai Ge Sen, Bei Di, and Bei Si were completely stunned. They couldn't help but ask, "Even Elder Shuang and Elder Leng, too?"

"Yeah," nodded Ba Si Teng.

"This man is dangerous," Bai Ge Sen sighed, shook his head and gave a compliment.

"This b*stard!" Cai Yi clenched her jaw as she couldn't press down her anger. Rage rose in her pretty eyes.In the room…

Shi Yan sat cross-legged, not moving a bit. He said through his gritted teeth. "You guys stay away from me. Don't come close, and don't let anyone come in this room. In the next minutes, perhaps I won't be able to control myself. So, you guys should be prepared..."

"Can't control yourself? What does that mean?" Bing Qing Tong inquired.

"Like last night."

"Oh."

The four women blushed. They inaudibly moved their soft bodies away from him. They were both fearful and yearning. Their beautiful eyes shone, gazing at him without blinking.

Under their scrutinizing looks, Shi Yan closed his eyes while his muscular body shook violently.

The seven hundred and twenty acupuncture points in his whole body seemed to become a vast space. Using the Soul Consciousness to sense, he could see a big vortex in each acupuncture point. They were moving furiously, gradually condensing the negative energy. Layers piled up, while the vortices spun faster.

While they were spinning, strands of negative feelings struck out, overflowing from each acupuncture and moving towards his heart.

Yu Li Ming's essence Qi filled the vortices abundantly. During their rotation, three different flows were detached separately. One of them was the negative energy that expanded the vortices in his acupuncture points.

Another flow comprised of the negative feelings. It was the mood fluctuations of human life with seven feelings and six desires, which was amplified before his death, added to his Essence Qi and dragged to Shi Yan's acupuncture points. It was separated from the Essence Qi now.

The last one was the best thing to him. It was the mysterious energy, the result of the high-speed spinning vortex filters. Strands of mysterious energy gathered at the center like beams of pure lightning. The vortices drew them to the center and refined them. The mysterious energy increased, but then sank into the center.

The essence Qi was divided into three parts, of which, the negative feelings couldn't turn into energy as they were just the negative parts of the consciousness about to be wasted. Meanwhile, the negative energy could speed up the vortices to enhance the filtering speed of the mysterious power.

Each of the seven hundred and twenty acupuncture points in his body had the same filtering activity. During this process, the negative energy increasing unceasingly was expanding in the vortices just like a wild tornado. Soon, it exceeded the endurance of the acupuncture point.

The vortices enlarged in each of his acupuncture points. Countless light dots exploded. At the moment they exploded, Shi Yan's acupuncture points were hurt badly, just like someone had stabbed him with needles. This kind of pain ran through his nerves to his entire body. It was hard to restrain.

His acupuncture points were like a big space of chaos without the sun, with only a white mist covering everywhere.

In the enlarging vortex, space was filled up, and then the vortex expanded more. This made the acupuncture point swollen, causing a pain that couldn't be described with words.

The acupuncture point was stretched to its limit, but still forced to enlarge. It was swollen in just a blink, and would probably explode at any minute.

This energy and the Profound Qi of the Warriors were different, but the results were magically similar. Both of them needed to be cultivated and increased bit by bit. They couldn't be rushed. Otherwise, the Profound Qi would explode, and the warrior's cultivation base would be erased.

What he could do now was just to control the enlargement of the vortices. He clenched his jaws, and endured reluctantly to prevent the negative energy from overflowing, that could burst his acupuncture points.

His Soul Consciousness transformed, flying out from the Sea of Consciousness and entering each of his acupuncture points. His spirit, will, and thought had been concentrating like never before to oppress the negative feelings. He didn't care about the pain in his entire body, as his strands of Soul Consciousness divided into seven hundred and twenty strands, trying to control the situation in each acupuncture point.

Under his efforts, the expansion speed of the vortices slowed down a little bit. The speed of mysterious power being refined was also controlled, and became slower.

As the Soul Consciousness sank into his acupuncture points, he felt like he had entered so many tiny worlds. In these worlds, there were no stars, sun, or moon, no creatures or flora. The whole world was just a desolate, white area, giving people no fluctuations of living things. Even the Soul Consciousness would be affected by the negative feelings.

His seven hundred and twenty acupuncture points were like seven hundred and twenty strange spaces. Each space had strange but magnificent changes with exploding light dots, the negative feelings, and the refined mysterious power. This was a large-scale construction that he had never noticed before. As he sent his Soul Consciousness massively into the acupuncture points, he got to know how mysterious his mysterious martial spirit was.

The acupuncture points of his entire body opened and enlarged to a new sky and earth, refining the negative power, absorbing the Essence Qi, the mysterious power, and the negative energy separately. Such heaven and earth creation had never been heard by him from any warriors mentioned before.

In his memories, he knew that the martial spirits could never reach this level. This was simply a miracle!

What was that Blood Pond after all? How magical was the power in the Blood Pond to transform people's bodies that way?

He suddenly recalled the cave he appeared in when he had arrived in this world. Vaguely, he remembered the wonderful feeling when he had come to this world. He thought that everything was related to that Blood Pond. Would that Blood Pond and the Blood Vein Ring have some special powers that they could connect worlds and bring him into this world?

Thoughts crossed his minds constantly. All of a sudden, he recognized that the vortices were expanding faster once again.

He was scared. He then focused again, continuing his incomplete construction.

Time flied by. He didn't know how long he had spent there, as he suddenly found the speed of the vortices in his seven hundred and twenty acupuncture points slow down. Half of the Essence Qi of Yu Li Ming had been refined over the period of time.

He relaxed his nerves.

However, as he had just relaxed, the negative desires at the bottom of his heart burned again. The blazing flame was like a sea of fire swarming over, covering him entirely in just a blink.

His closed eyes opened, hot and full of naked desire.

Bing Qing Tong's soft body shivered, glowing under the fabric of her clothes. She was shy, letting out a low scream. "He... He's about to burst out!"

"Second Sister, why are you here?" Leng Dan Qing blushed, but she frowned at Han Cui.

"I'm afraid that you guys can't withstand. Being your sister, I'm willing to help." Han Cui's beautiful eyes sparkled. She bit her lower lip, talking with great shyness.

"No need," Leng Dan Qing snorted.

Han Cui rolled her eyes, but she didn't leave, speaking up with her red face. "You have to share the good things together. I... My Ice Jade Technique just needs a bit more to break through."

Chapter 527: Bathe in the brilliant sunlight

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Shi Yan sat neatly with a solemn countenance in the room. His breathing was steady, but he was naked.

There four snow-white naked bodies scattered around him. They also sat down cross-legged to adjust their breathing, quietly condensing the mysterious power they got from the man.

A brilliant light was moving inside the five bodies. Lightning meandered around them like electric snakes, as they were circulating their powers and gathering it.

At Shi Yan's chest, dots of starlight radiated gloriously like precious gems, much brighter than the lighting gems in the room.

Starlight shone dazzlingly in his Star Martial Spirit, while the mysterious power gathered in a small star unceasingly. After it had absorbed enough the mysterious energy, it started to gather and hide the heat of the sun inside, making the heat affect the other stars, burning more fiercely.

He didn't know how much time had passed. Some small stars had already become a bunch of fiery flames and started to explode. After each explosion, the small star seemed to have some great, magical changes.

The Earth Flame hiding in the Blood Vein Ring also recognized the strange status. It then released the essence solar energy it had absorbed. This solar energy then overflowed torrentially into the Star Martial Spirit.

Time flew inaudibly...

Night drew away, and sunrise arrived.

When the first sunbeam shone on the Ice Emperor City, the sunlight suddenly shot out from Shi Yan's chest, who had been idle for a long time.

The sunlight from him generated a furious suction force. With Shi Yan as the center, the sunbeams were drawn through the ice walls, shining beautifully in the room.

Beams of sunlight shot directly to his body, disappearing.

The scattering sunlight was like it was turned into a funnel, pouring beam after beam into his body.

His chest became as scorching as fire. The small star was now a little sun, continuing to take in the sunlight from above like a hungry baby feeding on his mother's milk.

His Star Martial Spirit had a mutation as it was burning and enlarging. As soon as the sunlight was sucked in, this star got bigger, and the energy staying there became purer.

Gradually, a wonder appeared above the Ice Emperor City. The new sunrise seemed to shine only on the City Master Palace, and its sunbeams gathered only in that place. In fact, the sunlight fell only on a wing room of the Palace.

Above the City Master Palace, the sunlight glistened beautifully, and the heat was increasing. It was so dazzling that people couldn't even open their eyes. The pure sunbeams pierced through the ice walls, refracting in countless beams like a halo behind a God. These beams seemed to be affected by some invisible force, gathering and directing to only one person.

Many warriors of the Ice Emperor City were looking at the sky, watching that giant heating sun with stunned faces.

Staying in the City Master Palace, Bai Ge Sen, Bei Di, and Bei Si were three experienced warriors, but they still had to drop their jaws in awe, watching the ever-blazing sun above the Palace. While they were observing the sunlight that was much fiercer than normal, they didn't know what to do, although thoughts flickered fast in their heads.

"It… What is it?" Bei Di was bewildered for a while. All of a sudden, he shivered and said uncertainly. "Don't tell me that it's the Brilliant Sunlight Bathing of the Radiant God Cult?"

Brilliant Sunlight Bathing… The Radiant God Cult was known for their Flaming Sun Execution. When their warriors could break through the new level of the Flaming Sun Execution, the sunlight from the nine skies would precisely shine on their entire bodies, just like they were bathing miraculously in the sunlight. The higher level the Flaming Sun Execution was, the larger insolation the warriors could have.

"Brilliant Sunlight Bathing?" Bai Ge Sen's eyes lit up as he was scrutinizing the marvel in the sky. Then, he nodded affirmatively, "True! It's indeed the Flaming Sun Execution of the Radiant God Cult, that too at a really high level. It can draw the power of the sun and naturally form the Brilliant Sunlight Bathing!"

"I get it," Lao Li patted his head and shouted, "When we were in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, people from the Radiant God Cult said that Shi Yan was one of them. Seems that Zhao Feng didn't lie. However, I only saw him perform the Star Execution. He had never revealed any sign of the Flaming Sun Execution!"

"You've seen him using the Star Execution?" Bei Di seemed to recall something, his face more solemn.

Lao Li and Lao Lun nodded then Lao Li said, "He also used the Northern Dipper Arrow."

"Northern Dipper Arrow..." Bei Si was astounded, muttering, "Only the Star Execution at a certain level can perform the Northern Dipper Arrow. He can use the Northern Dipper Arrow, then how can he draw the Brilliant Sunlight Bathing? It seems... not suiting the common sense, right?"

"Why doesn't it suit common sense?" Lao Li didn't understand.

"Disciples of the Radiant God Cult cultivate the Flaming Sun Execution, the Silver Moon Execution, and the Star Execution. These are the root of the cultivating techniques in the Radiant God Cult. Each type of techniques has many realms. In Radiant God Cult, no matter it's the disciple or the elder, they have to choose one of these techniques to cultivate, and they can only cultivate one of them." Bei Si frowned as he was a little bit confused, too.

"They can't cultivate two techniques at the same time?" Lao Li was surprised.

"The Flaming Sun Execution, the Silver Moon Execution, and the Star Execution take in the energy from sun, moon, and the stars respectively. If a warrior cultivates two techniques at the same time, not only can't he grow his technique to the higher realms, but he may also meet the conflicts between the energies. If it's serious, he might even die. So, although the Radiant God Cult has so many hotshots, each of them has been cultivating only one technique. They don't dare to take risks," nodded Bei Si.

"Is it an exception..." Bei Di's face was odd.

Bei Si was astounded. He suddenly shivered, speaking in fear. "Da-ge, are you saying that..."

Bei Di nodded, hesitated for a while before talking again. "The Cult Master of the Radiant God Cult can fuse the Flaming Sun Execution, the Silver Moon Execution, and the Star Execution together in his body, so he can absorb the energies from the sun, moon and the stars at the same time. The method to fuse these three techniques, only the Cult Master of the Radiant God Cult knows!"

"He... Is he the line disciple of the Radiant God Cult's Cult Master? Is he his successor?" Lao Li almost jumped up, shaking his head as if he couldn't believe it.

Cai Yi was quiet the whole time. Suddenly, she smiled tenderly, "Impossible, it's absolutely impossible. Shi Yan had never been to the Divine Great Land before. When we were in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, he didn't know about the Radiant God Cult either. At that moment, Zhao Feng had taught him the Northern Dipper Arrow and the secret Star Execution. If he were the line disciple of the Cult Master, he would have known the secret technique of the Radiant God Cult."

Having heard the girl say so, Bei Si and Bei Di became more suspicious.

"If it's true, there's only one possibility." Bai Ge Sen's look changed. "He has found the secret to fuse the Flaming Sun Execution and the Star Execution accidentally. The Cult Master didn't teach him. He learned it himself."

Bei Si, Bei Di and the other gawked.

"It's... It is impossible. The method to fuse the three techniques is the most mysterious Upanishad of the Radiant God Cult. Except for the Cult Master, no one can know it. If it were easy to learn like that, the Radiant God Cult wouldn't make it their most precious technique." Bei Si shook his head, not buying what Bai Ge Sen said.

"Besides that possibility, I don't know what else it can be." Bai Ge Sen's eyes were complicated. He mused, then sighed. "Wait for him. Let's see what he will tell us."

All of them wore a strange face, waiting in silence in the City Master Palace while looking in the particular direction of the palace.In the wing room, the burning sunlight faded eventually into Shi Yan's body. In the end, he took a deep breath while awakening. He sensed a little bit and immediately found a small sun inside his Star Martial Spirit.

Compared to the other stars, it was much bigger. That little sun was radiating heat and absorbing the solar energy at the same time.

Previously, he sometimes vaguely felt that the Star Martial Spirit could absorb a little of the energy from the sun. But this feeling was so hazy that he thought it was just his hallucination.

But it was different now. It wasn't just a feeling anymore. He could see it, that the scorching star was taking in the solar energy unceasingly.

He could feel each beam of warm sunlight energy entering his heart at any moment.

"Are you awake?" Bing Qing Tong had put on her clothes. She was wearing an elegant white royal robe. Her jade-like face glowed while she was eyeing Shi Yan with interest. After a while, she talked, "You... Are you a member of the Radiant God Cult?"

"No," Shi Yan shook his head.

"So, how do you get the Flaming Sun Execution and you even drew the Brilliant Sunlight Bathing?" Bing Qing Tong was dumbstruck.

Han Cui, Shuang Yu Zhu, and Leng Dan Qing had dressed up decently. They all looked bright and glowing, as they were looking at him attentively.

"You... How are you?" Shi Yan didn't answer her question, but from their countenances, he found something.

"I think I just need half a month to reach the Third Sky of Spirit Realm." Bing Qing Tong smiled naturally as she didn't feel shame. "A flow of energy from your body has boosted our Ice Jade Technique to another level. This time, we've all broken through to another realm."

Shi Yan was surprised, "Why is Han Cui here?"

"You rascal!" Han Cui blushed, her eyes indignant as she said shyly. "Last night, you did bad things with me, why you don't ask about that? You have taken advantage of me, and now you pretend you don't know it. Such a b*stard you are!"

"No. I didn't count you in."

"You've done things with me. My sisters saw it all. Don't deny!"

Black lines filled Shi Yan's face.

Chapter 528: Hidden danger

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

The Ice Jade Technique had seven levels, and each of them was tough to break through. Sometimes, a warrior could break through her realm but not the level of the Ice Jade Technique.

Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui were at the level 4 of the Ice Jade Technique. They had stayed at this level for almost ten years. When they stepped into the Second Sky of Spirit Realm, their Ice Jade Technique didn't advance together.

However, after they had been with Shi Yan, they had a breakthrough. At the moment, their Ice Jade Technique had reached level 5.

The Ice Jade Technique had a special feature, due to which it did not always improve whenever the warrior had a breakthrough in her realm. However, once the Ice Jade Technique advanced one step further, the warrior's realm would have a small development.

In other words, after their Ice Jade Technique had been upgraded, not long afterward, Han Cui and Bing Qing Tong could enter the profound Third Sky of Spirit Realm from their current Second Sky of Spirit Realm.

Leng Dan Qing and Shuang Yu Zhu also had the same benefits. These two women had stayed at the level 3 of the Ice Jade Technique, and now were both at level 4. Just like Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui, they had entered a new small realm of the Second Sky of Spirit Realm.

After Yu Li Ming died, his Essence Qi of the Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior was divided into five parts after being refined. A part of that had helped Shi Yan draw the Brilliant Sunlight Bathing, while the other four parts had boosted the Ice Jade Technique of the four women.

No pain no gain. The challenge Shi Yan had met this time almost put him to death. After he had converted the adversity to fortune, it benefited five people at the same time.

Bing Qing Tong, Han Cui, Shuang Yu Zhu, and Leng Dan Qing were glowing, their eyes sparkling enough to charm anyone.

Inside the wing room, Shi Yan was frightened by this change, so he didn't know what to say.

Outside the room, as Bai Ge Sen, Bei Si, and Bei Di saw the Brilliant Sunlight Bathing fade away, they knew the situation was steadied. They hurried to the place. Lao Li pitched his voice. "Shi Yan, old bro, are you alright?"

"I'm okay."

"Can we get in there? Argh, your guards, can you tell them to retreat?"

Outside the room, the Ghost Hunter, the War Devil, and the King of Demonic Insects were still guarding the place, not allowing anyone to come close. Bai Ge Sen and the others froze on looking at the beasts. Since they didn't dare to act rashly, they let Lao Li ask for the situation first.

"Okay, I got it." Shi Yan smiled, then called back the Ghost Hunter and the War Devil, letting them get back inside the Blood Vein Ring. Then, he let them enter the room.

After Bai Ge Sen, Bei Di, Bei Si, and Cai Yi got in the room, they all wore a strange face, eyeing the four women of Bing Qing Tong's group.

The four women felt awkward as if they had been busted. Their faces were ruddy, with a moistened appearance. At first glance, people knew what good things they had done.

"Little brother, you are a fortunate man." Bei Si complimented, his face filled with admiration.

The four women of Bing Qing Tong's group were famous in the Fighting Union not only because of their cultivation bases, but also their beautiful appearance and elegant manners. Each warrior of the Fighting Union, more or less, had thought about these four women. Unfortunately, no one could conquer them.

Shi Yan had come to the Ice Emperor City not long ago, but he had already subdued the four women at once; even Bei Si had to admire his deeds.

"Little brother, that Brilliant Sunlight Bathing had come for you, right?" Bai Ge Sen wore a serious face, talking about the main business directly.

Shi Yan was stunned. After he knew what so-called the Brilliant Sunlight Bathing was, he nodded.

"I heard that you know how to use the Northern Dipper Arrow, and you also know how to use the Star Power?" asked Bai Ge Sen.

Shi Yan nodded, his face suspicious. "Why do you care about this?"

Bing Qing Tong and the other women had their eyes sparkled. Their bodies shivered when they heard him admit it.

As they were all the warriors of the Divine Great Land, the four women knew the secrets of the Radiant God Cult regarding the magical fusion of the three mysterious techniques.

"Do you know that only the Cult Master of the Radiant God Cult knows the method to combine the Flaming Sun Execution, the Silver Moon Execution, and the Star Execution?"

Bai Ge Sen took a deep breath, then explained, "In each generation, the Radiant God Cult has only one Cult Master, and only he knows how to fuse the three techniques. Only when the Elders of the Cult declare that the Cult Master died will they select the new Master. At that time, they will come to the Radiant Summit. At that peak, they will join forces to open the secret chamber there. The newly-elected Master will learn the secrets of fusing the three techniques in that chamber."

Shi Yan shook his head.

"Each generation has only one Radiant Cult Master, and only he knows that secret. Only he can know the ultimate Upanishad." Bai Ge Sen's face turned more solemn. "In the legends, the one who knew how to combine the powers of the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars, even if his realm wasn't enough, he still could subdue the Elders of the Cult. This is also why the position of the Cult Master of the Radiant God Cult is unbreakable."

"What did you say?" Shi Yan was stunned.

Bai Ge Sen affirmed while nodding, "Even if the newly elected Cult Master has only the Sky Realm cultivation base, once he can fuse the powers of the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars together, he can oppress any Elders who cultivate the Flaming Sun Execution, the Silver Moon Execution, and the Star Execution in the Cult. No matter that Elder has the First Sky or even the Third Sky of Spirit Realm cultivation base, he would still be subdued!"

Shi Yan discolored as he suddenly recognized the seriousness of the issue. One sect could have only one Master, one paragon.

He had accidentally bumped into this mess, and he had both the Sun Martial Spirit and the Star Martial Spirit. Did it mean he was a Master without a real status in the Radiant God Cult?

How serious this problem was, he understood pretty well.

If he were the current Master of the Radiant God cult and knew that there was someone like him, who could fuse the three secret techniques together, and that person could use this method to oppress all the elders in his sect, what should he do?

"I think you realized the seriousness of this issue," Bai Ge Sen took a deep breath, mused for a while, then continued, "Luckily, only we know about it now. As long as we keep it in the down low, people of the Radiant God Cult can't know about it."

Bai Ge Sen paused for a while, then shifted his look to Bei Di, Bei Si, Lao Li, and Lao Lun, "I think Bei Di brother won't want to see anything bad happen to our little brother here. I guarantee that I will forget everything here once I get out of the place. I will not disclose anything to anyone. For City Master Bing and the three Elders, I think you guys won't spread out the story here, so…"

Shi Yan frowned.

"Of course, if you, little brother, don't feel secure, you have the powers to kill all of us. This is the most secure way." Bai Ge Sen suddenly lifted his head, looking at Shi Yan deep in the eyes.

Shi Yan was astounded. He then burst out laughing, shaking his head. "First, let alone I have this ability or not, even if I have it, I won't do that."

Bai Ge Sen, Bei Di, and Bei Di were all strong warriors with profound realms. Even if he could utilize all of his powers, he couldn't do that. Thus, he didn't think about that intent.

"I know you aren't that type of person." Bai Ge Sen smiled as he relaxed his stiff face. "So, what you should do now is to hide it. Never let anyone you don't trust get the information that you can fuse the powers of the Sun and the Stars. Otherwise, I think you will encounter great dangers."

"Which realm does the Radiant God Cult's Cult Master have?" His heart fell as he asked.

"The Second Sky of True God Realm," Bai Ge Sen said with an admiring face.

Shi Yan's visage changed as he nodded quietly, "I got it."

He understood that when an expert at the Second Sky of True God Realm wanted to kill him at any cost, even if he had the War Devil, the Ghost Hunter, the King of Demonic Insects, and the Heaven Flames, he couldn't escape death.

At this moment, he had made up his mind that he had to secure this secret. Unless he had the strength to parry the Master of the Radiant God Cult, he should never disclose that he had the Sun Martial Spirit and the Star Martial Spirit to any living men.

"Perhaps we are overthinking," Bai Ge Sen saw Shi Yan tense, and couldn't hide his laughter, "The Master of the Radiant God Cult has always covered his men's shortcomings. He has a good reputation. Also, he's a generous man. Perhaps, even if he knows this, he won't eradicate you. But you should always be alert. Little brother, you should understand that point."

Bing Qing Tong and the other three women also realized the seriousness of the matter. They kept silent, but they were all worried about him.

The Radiant God Cult's Master was the most dangerous warrior of the Divine Great Land. Hundreds of years had passed by and he could still threaten many warriors and receive admiration from them at the same time.

Such a character could kill all creatures in this Ice Emperor City! If he took action, even Bai Ge Sen, Bei Di, and Bei Si couldn't escape!

"Thanks for letting me know this. I know what to do," Shi Yan's brows slammed together, then answered in a serious tone.

"Alright, we should go now. With you staying in the Ice Emperor City, I think the Nings won't dare to come back. As he had a tasted the bitter fruit this time, I think he will ask his friends to come with him here again. I will probe this a bit. City Master Bing, you'd better report the General Union what had happened here. If the Ice Emperor City has to fight the second time, it can be the war between the Fighting Union and the Heaven Temple. At that time, we won't just stand and stare." Bai Ge Sen hesitated for a while and then continued.

Shi Yan and Bing Qing Tong nodded.

"We'll set off now. Little brother, if you visit the White Emperor City, you should be our guest at the Aoke family." Bai Ge Sen smiled, not caring if Cai Yi agreed or not. He took her hands and left, soaring through the clouds, disappearing shortly.

"Hey Shi Yan bro, remember to visit us at the Banner family!" Brothers Lao Li also invited him.

Shi Yan smiled, regarding them.

"You should be watchful about every move of yours. Remember, don't let anyone not close to you know that you can fuse the Sun and the Stars powers." Bei Si patted his shoulder. "One day, when you have the confidence to resist the Radiant God Cult's Cult Master, you won't need to worry about this anymore. Yeah, I can see that you have an endless potential."

Then, Bei Di and Bei Si took the Lao brothers and left the Palace.

Chapter 529: Dead Soul Mountain

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Half a month later, the Ice Emperor City was still quiet and peaceful.

Ten days ago, Bing Qing Tong, Han Cui, Shuang Yu Zhu, and Leng Dan Qing had broken through their realm in the ice chamber Shi Yan had asked the Ice Cold Flame to build for them. Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui had entered the Third Sky of Spirit Realm, and Shuang Yu Zhu and Leng Dan Qing had reached the Second Sky of Spirit Realm.

After their breakthrough, Bing Qing Tong immediately sent the message to the General Union. The person in charge in the General Union felt excited for them when he knew they all had entered the next realm.

The Heaven Temple and their Fighting Union had been prepared for a fight, which was now delayed because of their new realm breakthrough.

The Fighting Union utilized all effort to protect the Ice Emperor City. They didn't regret sending the most elite force of the Fighting Union to battle with the Heaven Temple. As the responsible person of the Heaven Temple saw their determination and guts, he had to weigh pros and cons. Eventually, he notified the Ning family to not act rashly.

The fight that was about to take place had ended quietly like that. No one knew what the leaders of the Heaven Temple and the Fighting Union had negotiated, but both sides stopped their actions altogether.

When they knew that the Ice Emperor City wasn't in danger anymore, Ba Si Teng and Ba Fei bid their farewell to Shi Yan and went to their family's territory to find the Ba family's treasures, which might be hidden somewhere there.

Shi Yan stayed in the Ice Emperor City to help them build an ice chamber. With two drops of the Cold Chalcedony, the Ice Cold Flame and the Holy Spirit God had upgraded their intelligence to another level. These two strange living beings became more humane. After the Holy Spirit God had taken in one drop of the Cold Chalcedony, the white skeleton clone became translucent, as beautiful as gems, and with a dense cold air meandering, tangling with the dazzling divine light.

The Ice Cold Flame made a trip around the Bitter Cold Land to supplement a large amount of freezing Qi. Its power was restored fast.

The day when the four women had completed their cultivation in the ice chamber, Shi Yan told them he had to leave for a while. He was going to visit the Dead Soul Mountain.

Bing Qing Tong knew what he was worried about; she tried to insist him to stay, but since he was persistent, she had to let him leave.

The time they had spent together was short, but the feelings they had for Shi Yan weren't shallow. These women wanted to keep him in the Ice Emperor City and enjoy the rest of their lives together. However, Shi Yan didn't appreciate that thought. He told them clearly that he didn't want to stay there and retire. As the four women had no way to persuade him otherwise, they could only accept it.

Bing Qing Tong and the other women were cultivating the Ice Jade Technique, so the Ice Emperor City and the Bitter Cold land were the best places for them to practice and thrive.

To reach the higher realm, they couldn't leave the Ice Emperor City and go with him to the Dead Soul Mountain. Thus, they could only see him leave.

At the moment, their realms had been improved a lot, which made the Fighting Union highly value them. Even if Ning Du Quan came here again, with their cultivation bases, the women weren't afraid of the Ning family's threat.

The Fighting Union had put forth everything to protect them, so the Heaven Palace didn't dare to act rashly. Shi Yan could put aside the concern for them.

After he'd done comforting the four women, Shi Yan left the Ice Emperor City alone, continuing his journey.

On the way to the Dead Soul Mountain, he endured the hardship of training, ascetically cultivating the Upanishads of the powers he had learned.

The negative energy, the Immortal Rebirth Secret, the Star Martial Spirit, the Life and Death Seal, and the other Upanishads he had known were studied deeply in an attempt to have a flash of recognition to increase his realm again, entering the gateway of the Spirit Realm.

The Three God Realms were the most desired threshold any warrior wanted to reach. Entering the Three God Realms meant that one was walking on the path leading to the peak as a warrior. To reach the Three God Realms, countless warriors trained strenuously, secluding themselves deep in the mountains or the forests to perceive the hidden powers and comprehend the truth of their realms.

Since he had many martial spirits, if he wanted to comprehend them thoroughly, it would take a lot of time.

However, even if one knew it was hard, and didn't want to put more effort, one would never cross this threshold until he or she died. Thus, along the way, whenever he had free time, he made himself quiet down to comprehend the true meanings of the powers, with his whole body involved.

Through his efforts this time, he had reached a new realm in understanding the Upanishads of the powers he had.

Although he couldn't break through with only understanding the truth, it helped him strengthen his powers whenever he performed his attacks, in which he had a deep-carved understanding of the Death and Life Seal. Once he released the Death and Life Intent Domain, he could even affect all living creatures and flora in the whole area.

As his Star Martial Spirit had had some changes, during his trip, it'd continually absorbed the power of the sunlight.

Even if it were midnight, he still could feel the existence of the dazzling sun in the vast sea of stars, feeling the feeble solar energy flowing into his body.

The Sun, the Moon, and the Stars were everlasting. They would not disappear as day and night took their shifts. They were just covered temporarily.

If the martial spirit were strong enough, the warrior could still feel the energy of the Sun, Moon, and Stars no matter it was day or night. They could always absorb the energy, but the speed would be different.

The Divine Great Land was immensely vast, and the Ice Emperor City was just a city in the far West. After he had left the Ice Emperor City, he passed by many big countries along the way. All of them were dependant on big forces like the Heaven Palace or the Fighting Union. The Emperors of these mortal kingdoms had to pay a visit to their guarding forces or some strong families on holidays or occasions.

These dependent kingdoms had to offer a large amount of cultivating materials for those warriors to use. Perhaps they would refine some pellets or treasures in return.

Some strong empires with the large territory and population of millions still had to bend their heads in front of those experts who could move the mountains or fill the river. They had to be as humble as possible.

On his way, he crossed many strong empires, whose strength was much formidable than the Raging Fire Empire of the Quiet Cloud, equal to the God Blessed Empire. However, no matter how strong they were, they couldn't be compared to the old factions that had a history of tens of thousands of years in the Divine Great Land.

Each ancient faction had their own True God Realm warriors to guard over. The True God Realm experts in the Divine Great Land were like Gods!

If they wanted, one True God Realm warrior could destroy any country, which didn't have the same level warrior to protect them. Under such intimidating threats, those big countries didn't dare to rebel and offered them as many cultivating materials as they could find in their countries.

So many high summits and rivers existed on his way, and many lone warriors were cultivating in seclusion. Along his trip, he had seen a lot of things that he had never known in the Endless Sea.

Crossing many empires and famous mountains, he could sense some invincible dormant experts. His understanding of the Divine Great Land had been deepened.

On his way, he didn't intend to provoke any enemy or use his power to slaughter. Quite the contrary, he had been like a homespun, ascetic monk, always lonely in hempen garments, passing through the high peaks and the deep swamps.

He befriended beasts, and fed on earth and firmament. He became quiet, and didn't talk to humans, just wanting to understand more about the path he had chosen.

At the peak state of the Martial Path, an expert could move the mountains; his soul could penetrate the highest heaven, and his body could fly in the sky.

Along his lonely journey, he had been whole-heartedly training in hardship to comprehend the highest level of the martial path. He had a clear direction, he just needed to take each step towards the acme of the martial path. He had concentrated his spirit, souls, and body into the training, leaving his mind empty to soon reach the Spirit Realm.

There was no calendar in these mountainous areas. Time flew by quietly. He didn't know how long it had passed or how many big countries and massive mountains he had crossed. After crossing a swamp area that he couldn't see the shore of, he finally saw a majestic mountain range whose summits were penetrating the sky.

Each peak looked like a sharp sword stabbed directly to the highest sky. Clouds bobbed around, and beasts could be seen scattered here and there.

The mountain ranges continued one after another without an end. Hundreds of mountains stood in front of his eyes. Each of them was grand and majestic, where dense heaven and earth Qi gathered. Beasts were running here and there. Sometimes, he could see some warriors gliding back and forth, seeming to be secluding in these mountains to cultivate.

Green, boundless clouds and mist drifted just like cotton scattered here and there around the mountains. Inside the green clouds and mist, there was a strange cold and evil aura. Sometimes, some malicious dead souls appeared inside the green clouds, who didn't have real bodies, and gave people a terrifying feeling.

The Dead Soul Mountain was the most mysterious and dangerous place in the Divine Great Land. In this mountain range, there were almost one thousand mountains with different sizes. Each of these mountains was the house of both warriors and beasts. In some mountains, some intimidating beasts could transform into human form. They looked exactly the same as other normal warriors. When they didn't urge their powers, ordinary warriors couldn't point out the differences.

Also, there were dead souls living in the Dead Soul Mountain. Those dead souls used to be the souls of strong expert or beasts, which had gathered the Yin Qi to form. Some said that those Dead Souls were pagans who came here from the alien area, through the vast bobbing clouds, and landed on the Grace Mainland by chance.

The clusters of green clouds hovering above the Dead Soul Mountain became the evil lairs of the dead souls. And, it seemed only the dead souls could use these evil lairs. Once warriors and beasts came near, they would be attacked to death. Gradually, they would turn into dead souls too.

In the legends, the dead soul's devil lair was some sort of gateway to Heaven, leading to the mysterious outer space.

Unfortunately, ordinary warriors and beasts didn't dare to approach them. As long as they were the creatures that had souls, once they got near to the evil lairs of the dead souls, they would be eroded and turned into dead souls. Even Spirit Realm warriors couldn't escape this tragic consequence.

The dead soul's evil lairs were the special features of the Dead Soul Mountain. They existed in the green cotton clouds that they could only be observed and never intruded.

From time to time, after one or several years, an anomalous situation would happen there. Sometimes, there would be the tremendous dead souls, and sometimes, it would be the invincible, mysterious energy which could shake the whole Dead Soul Mountain. Some strong experts of the Divine Great Land shared that they had gone near the dead soul's evil lairs, and from a close distance, they saw some people walking in there.

The legend of the dead soul's evil lairs had been spreading through tens of thousands of years in the Divine Great Land. However, until now, no one could tell clearly what the dead soul's evil lairs actually were, or what stayed in there.

Perhaps, someone did know the secrets of the dead soul's evil lairs, but they didn't want to share with others.

Looking at the grand mountains from afar, divine light radiated from Shi Yan's eyes. He stood quietly for a while and then muttered, "Finally arrived."

Then, he strode towards the place.

Chapter 530: The Alchemists' Center

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

The Dead Soul Mountain's topography was special. It was situated between the Radiant God Cult, the Pure Land, and the Devil Valley, and the distances between them weren't too large. However, no force managed this area.

The ones who often visited this area were the alchemists and the blacksmiths at all levels.

Rumors said that there were thousands of alchemists and blacksmiths living in the Dead Soul Mountain. This special class of the Grace Mainland liked the Dead Soul Mountain, and made it the center of the alchemists and blacksmiths of the entire Grace Mainland.

Among the other warriors, the alchemists and the blacksmiths belonged to the noble class.

Normally, the alchemists and the blacksmiths wouldn't depend on any forces, as they had dedicated their whole lives to refine pellets and secret treasures. Those people were quiet, odd, and didn't like to get along well with the others.

However, in the Dead Soul Mountain, the alchemists and the blacksmith lived in harmony. They studied and discussed the Upanishads of refining pellets and forging treasures with each other.

When warriors living around the Pure Land, the Radiant God Cult, and the Devil Valley were in need of pellets or secret treasures, they would bring abundant materials to the Dead Soul Mountain, then find the corresponding alchemist or blacksmith to refine the desired items.

Of course, they had to pay for the service.

Many warriors from the Grace Mainland came here to refine pellets and specialized treasures for their sects, even though they had to travel a long distance for this. The Dead Soul Mountain had many qualified alchemists and blacksmiths. When they came here with an attractive payment, they could have what they desired.

The alchemists and the blacksmiths here had formed a system in the Dead Soul Mountain. They didn't turn their back to the seven ancient factions or took part in the dispute between them. These special warriors had a great passion for refining medicines and forging weapons. They wouldn't favor anyone, as they only followed their own rules. As long as the payment was good, they could forge weapon or refine pellet for anyone.

Also, no matter how furious the battle between the seven old factions was, they would never target the Dead Soul Mountain.

In this continent, the Dead Soul Mountain was quite a peaceful place with good conditions for refining things. Warriors living around there often traded cultivating materials with the alchemists or the blacksmiths. This place was the holy temple of the alchemists and the blacksmiths.

Living on numerous grand mountains were the alchemists and the blacksmiths. The strongest alchemists and blacksmiths took the richest mountains. Some of them taught disciples, while some just cultivated alone to find the acme of their refining and forging treasures, sinking in what they called the Great Path.

Two valleys were backing each other in the center of the Dead Soul Mountain. They were called the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley. These two valleys were vast, as big as a small city, and were surrounded boisterously year around. People who traveled to the Spirit Potion Valley were all the alchemists, while warriors who visited the Precious Tool Valley were all blacksmiths.

The Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley had many shops where cultivating materials to refine medicines or forge weapons were sold. Outsiders could always visit these two valleys to find the alchemists and blacksmiths to refine the items they wanted, as long as they could find the right person with an appropriate price.

Generally, the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley were almost free. They didn't have many rules or taxes. Not only human warriors, even the beasts and the pagans were free to enter the places. No one would specially target them.

There were almost one thousand mountains in the Dead Soul Mountain range, and half of them were occupied by intimidating beasts. Those beasts could transform to human form, and their powers were much more tremendous than human warriors at the same level. Anyway, the beasts there lived in harmony with the alchemists and blacksmiths. They didn't fight often.

Beasts which could cultivate to the peak and have intelligence were no less smart than mankind, so they also needed good medicines and weapons.

Since they were living inside the Dead Soul Mountain range, they understood the cultivating materials there better. Beasts who came to find the alchemists or blacksmiths with sufficient amount of materials often prepared better payment than human warriors.

Usually, the alchemists and the blacksmith wouldn't deny the offer, and would cooperate with the beasts.

Thanks to its special features, the Dead Soul Mountain range had attracted many strange races, some of them being super strong. They had settled down and earned a decent living in the Dead Soul Mountain range. They had been cultivating silently, gathering the energy of heaven and earth to increase their realms, while collecting rare and precious materials there to prepare more medicines and weapons for their tribes.

As Shi Yan was flying over the Dead Soul Mountain range, he released his Soul Consciousness, frequently sensing strong aura emitted from each mountain.

These auras came from humans and beasts, but some came from sources he was unsure of. Perhaps these auras came from the peculiar souls he had never encountered before.

Mankind, beasts, and pagans lived together in the Dead Soul Mountain range, and didn't interfere each other's life. However, they often went to the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley to do business with human alchemists and blacksmiths. All of them lived together in peace and harmony.

The Dead Soul Mountain range was vast. With his Sky Realm cultivation base, Shi Yan spent seven days flying to cross couples hundreds of mountains. Finally, he arrived the Spirit Potion Valley in the center of the Dead Soul Mountain range.

The Spirit Potion Valley bathed in the sunbeams of a new dawn. Under the warm sunlight, he could see people moving and spacious streets packed with stores and shops.

Many human warriors and alchemists were moving in front of the shops, finding the raw materials they needed. Among them were humanoid beasts wearing clothes with sharp horns on their heads, or having a long tail behind their bottom. All of them were operating equally in the Spirit Potion Valley.

No human warriors in the valley showed a strange face on seeing the beasts, because it was all totally normal to them.

Warriors living here had soon recognized the existence of the demonic beasts and pagan tribes. They would never look at them with a bias. Shi Yan observed the situation for a while from outside the valley, and was quite surprised.

In the Endless Sea, Cao Qiu Dao, Yang Tian Emperor, and Yang Yi Tian were totally racist. They only acknowledged mankind as the master of the continent. Except for humans, all were considered pagans. According to them, the Sea Tribes, the Dark Dwellers, the Demon Dwellers were all sinister races that should be uprooted.

When the Demonic Sound Clan and the Winged Clan had first entered the Endless Sea, the warriors there saw them with fear and hatred, as if there were a big grudge between them, and that the Demonic Sound Clan and the Winged Clan shouldn't exist.

The Dead Soul Mountain range gave him a brand new understanding.

Warriors living around here wouldn't make the beasts or pagans their enemies, and they wouldn't want to kill them all. Demonic beasts, human beings, and pagans had lived together under one roof, all borrowing the rich cultivating materials of the Dead Soul Mountain range to improve their powers.

The atmosphere here was much comfortable and free than the Endless Sea.

After a long time observing from a far distance, Shi Yan wore an admiring face. He couldn't help but think that when the Demonic Sound Clan and the Winged Clan came to the Divine Great Land, the Dead Soul Mountain range might be the best choice for them.

Lingering outside the Spirit Potion Valley for a while, Shi Yan walked into the valley alone. Next, he took a trip around the shops randomly. He was quite surprised and happy as he had a good feeling about this Spirit Potion Valley.

The shops in the Spirit Potion Valley sold spirit herbs, miracle fruits, and strange fluids used for refining medicine. At first glance, he could see that the raw materials that were considered precious in the Endless Sea were common and available everywhere. And, he also saw many medical ingredients which he had never seen before; they were also widely available.

It was worth being the famous center of the Alchemists in the whole continent.

He complimented in his mind as his impression of the Spirit Potion Valley grew better.

Apparently, the cultivating materials in the Spirit Potion Valley were much more abundant than the Endless Sea, and he was sure that the warriors from other areas could never have the attainment of the alchemists here.

Walking along the street, he was surprised on seeing the rare materials they had.

The sunlight faded out. Seeing the sun was about to set, he remembered the purpose of his trip.

Musing for a while, he then walked towards the general direction of the Spirit Hall of the Spirit Potion Valley. The Spirit Hall was a special place for outsiders seeking a suitable alchemist. It was a business center. Warriors could go there to advertise the mission they wanted to accomplish. When the alchemists and the blacksmith couldn't find the materials they needed, they could also ask the Spirit Hall to notice and search for them. The payment would be decent though.

When Ye Chang Feng gave him the token, he told him to go to the Spirit Hall in the Spirit Potion Valley and give it to the person in charge, following which, someone would welcome him well.

Ye Chang Feng's master was considered owing him a favor. In the Grace Mainland, an excellent alchemist always had good relationship with many connections.

The reason why he wanted to find Ye Chang Feng's teacher was to contact the Pure Land through him, as he wanted to use the Life Original Fluid to exchange for Xia Xin Yan, and to save her soul from vanishing.

In his original plan, he wanted to visit the Radiant God Cult first. However, given the advice from Bai Ge Sen, he had to give up his initial plan, as he was afraid that if he went to the Radiant God Cult, some experts there might see through the difference in his body. Thus, he had to go further to find the Dead Soul Mountain.

In the Spirit Hall, many warriors wearing bluish gray robe embroidered with the symbol of the alchemists were introducing the newest information to their customers in a business-like manner.

After Shi Yan got into the place, he reached the nearest guard, smiled at him and showed him the token. "Do you recognize this token?"

The Mystery Third Rank alchemist was dazed, looking at the token and then Shi Yan himself, asking him surprisingly, "What's this?"

Shi Yan was bewildered, showing the token to the man again. "A friend of mine gave me this. He told me to go to the Spirit Potion Valley and show the token and someone would receive me. Take another look carefully."

The Mystery Third Rank alchemist was dazed. He checked the token carefully. Minutes later, he shivered while his eyes brightened, "Sir, please wait a moment. I'll bring the token to my master. Please wait. Don't go. Wait for me here. Just a moment."

Chapter 531: Spirit Hall

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Behind the Spirit Hall was a spacious room, matted with thick, soft fur rug. The walls of that room had many exquisite carvings of caterpillar fungus. Standing in the middle of the room was an incense burner, from where fragranced smoke of precious grass diffused. The room was warm, with gems sparkling from the ceiling.

Zha Lin wore a gold-plated robe of the alchemist, which had three spirit herbs embroidered on the shoulder. This was the insignia of a Third Rank of Profound Level alchemist.

As one of the persons in charge of the Spirit Hall, Zha Lin worked daily there to manage the operations of the Hall. At this moment, he was wearing an arrogant face, lying on his side on a tiger skin and fur covered chair. He looked at the two First Sky of Spirit Realm warriors in front of him with an impatient face.

These two Spirit Realm warriors wanted him to refine pellets for them. However, they didn't pay enough to satisfy him. Zha Lin felt a little bit irritated.

Zha Lin had just entered the Spirit Realm, but he had mainly depended on the aid of medicines. His realm wasn't high, and his power couldn't be compared to the two in front of him now. Anyway, as he was an alchemist, he had the confidence that the others had to satisfy him.

"Go home. Without three pieces of the Silver Star Grass, I won't help you." Zha Lin waved his hand and couldn't help but grunt. "Wait until you two can collect the Silver Star Grass. If I have free time, I will consider refining the Fierce Golden Pellet for you guys. But now, please go."

The two First Sky of Spirit Realm warriors stood opposite him, shook their heads in distress and sighed. They were about to leave.

At this moment, a guard of the Spirit Hall stormed in, didn't bow to him but walk directly to Zha Lin while breathing heavily, "Teacher, look at this."

Zha Lin arched his brows, snorted, then scolded the guard, "Don't you have any manners?"

While complaining, he took the token and flipped it over to watch. His face changed immediately as he shot up from his seat while shouting, "Where did you get this token?"

"A young man brought it here," answered the guard with fear.

Zha Lin jumped off his chair, taking the guard out of the room and going to the lounge of the Spirit Hall.

"The brother over there," the guard pointed at Shi Yan from afar.

A smile filled Zha Lin's face all of a sudden, his face servile. He came to Shi Yan and greeted him. First, he solemnly handed back the token to Shi Yan and asked, "May I help you?"

Shi Yan was amazed, then nodded to him. "I want to find the owner of this token."

Zha Lin's eyes brightened as he asked with caution. "How do you relate to Elder Li? Why do you have his token?"

"I don't know him. He owed me something, so I want to find him and ask him for a favor," answered Shi Yan.

Zha Lin wore a fearful complexion, screaming in surprise. "You say, Elder Li owed you a favor?"

Shi Yan nodded the second time.

Zha Lin wore a disbelieving face, his expression interesting. He hesitated for a while and then said, "When Elder Li came back last time, he announced that he would not refine medicines for anyone for a while. Also, he asked us not to disturb him. Currently, we don't dare to contact him directly, otherwise…"

"What should I do?"

"You shall take that token and directly visit the Flying Cloud Summit. You can talk with his disciples there to see if he wants to meet you or not."

"Where's the Flying Cloud Summit?"

The Dead Soul Mountain range had almost one thousand mountains, scattering in a large area. The distance between the two mountains could take up to ten days traveling. If he didn't know the exact location, searching with his luck only, he would have to spend so much time.

"Hold on. I'll see if I can take you to the Flying Cloud Summit myself." Zha Lin contemplated, then took out a sound crystal. He held it next to his lips, then muttered. It seemed the man was asking whether he needed to guard the Spirit Hall or not.

There were so many alchemists and warriors, their customers, walking back and forth. Many of them knew Zha Lin. As they saw Zha Lin's servile face when talking to Shi Yan, they secretly paid attention to them and tried to guess Shi Yan's identity.

"Who is that man? Why does Zha Lin have to treat him with good care? It's weird. Zha Lin is one of the experienced masters of the Spirit Hall. He's a noble man in the Spirit Potion Valley. He has never been obsequious to big men from the Pure Land, the Radiant God Cult, and the Devil Valley, right?"

"I don't know. I've never met that young man before. From his clothing, I can say he's not an alchemist."

"I have no clue. I've been begging Zha Lin many times for a Spirit Comfort Pellet, yet he has never agreed to help me. I'm a Spirit Realm expert, and that little guy has just the Sky Realm cultivation base. Zha Lin took wrong medicine today, didn't he?"

"Ghost knows that."People in the surroundings discussed with low tones. They were eyeing Shi Yan, guessing his real status with awe.

After talking to the sound crystal for a while, Zha Lin sighed and shook his head with disappointment. "I'm sorry. I can't leave the workplace currently. If you aren't hurried, can you wait for half of a month later? Then I can take you to the Flying Cloud Summit personally. Is it okay?"

Shi Yan shook his head.

Zha Lin forced a smile while musing, "I will let my favorite disciple take you there. She knows the location of the Flying Cloud Summit, too."

"Good then."

Having heard that, Zha Lin was joyful. He made a call through the sound crystal. "Cherry, come here quickly!"

Not long after that, a girl with a calm expression and wearing a long blue dress walked towards them from a shop not far from there. Her deep blue eyes sparkled as she felt displeased, "Teacher, why did you call me here? I was negotiating the price of the Multi-colored Devil Mask flower. I had almost gotten it."

This girl had long maroon hair cascading over her shoulder. She stood upright, and her eyes were like precious jade, sparkling with a shining blue light.

As she appeared, many alchemists and warriors in the Spirit Hall had their eyes brightened up, with their line of sight gluing on her.

On her left ample bosom were embroidered five pieces of spirit herbs. This meant she was a Fifth Rank of Profound Level alchemist. Besides, she was a Second Sky of Sky Realm warrior.

"Cherry, take this little brother to the Flying Cloud Summit." Zha Lin assigned her with a low tone.

"The Flying Cloud Summit?" Cherry's blue eyes brightened. She looked at Shi Yan with astonishment, then nodded. "I got it."

"Yeah. Seems our little brother has just visited the Dead Soul Mountain range for the first time. We shouldn't delay his business. Along the way, you should introduce the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley to him too," advised Zha Lin.

Cherry smiled and then nodded. She looked as natural and generous as an elegant orchid flower.

"Sorry for bothering you," Shi Yan bent, smiling brightly.

"No need to be too polite." Cherry nodded. Her blue eyes showed that she was interested in him. She eyed him for a while and then asked, "Do you want to go now?"

"Yes, please."

"Okay. We shall depart now. The Flying Cloud Summit's in the East of the Dead Soul Mountain. It should take around four days from the Spirit Potion Valley." Cherry thought for a while and then added, "At night, you have to be more careful. Dead souls in the Dead Soul Mountain range will go out and night to hunt. Don't let them nib your soul."

"Okay."

"Let's go!"The moon shone brightly in the late night.

Under the clear moonlight, Cherry was gliding in the sky with a pair of dreamy blue wings on her back. She was as agile as a fairy in the pellucid night.

Shi Yan flew behind her, looking at her blue wings with surprise.

Cherry beamed a faint smile as if she had recognized his look. She turned around and talked to him, "This Indigo Soaring Wing's a Profound level secret tool. I had asked a blacksmith in the Precious Tool Valley to forge it for me. The Indigo Soaring Wing can enhance my flying speed, and it also can attack. Watch this."

Hazy, cold blue light shot out like steel needles from the indigo wings, leaving toe-sized holes drilled on the rock cliff.

"Good tool," Shi Yan complimented, "Pretty and exquisite."

Cherry smiled lightly, "This Indigo Soaring Wing is not considered a dangerous treasure yet. The blacksmiths of the Precious Tool Valley can fabricate many unimaginable weapons that you can't even count the number of. Some of those treasures even have intelligence. Those are pretty awesome."

Shi Yan nodded.

"Hey, why do you want to go to the Flying Cloud Summit?" Cherry wore a curious face. "As far as I know, precursor Li in the Flying Cloud Summit is one of the five grand Elders of our Spirit Hall. He rarely comes to the Spirit Potion Valley. He stays and refines medicines in the Flying Cloud Summit. He doesn't have many disciples. He's a bit arrogant, though. We haven't met him for years… such a mysterious alchemist."

"Elder of the Spirit Hall…" Shi Yan was astounded, "The Spirit Hall is also a force of warriors?"

"Not exactly," Cherry shook her head. "The Spirit Hall was established by five Sacred level alchemists. It's to manage the Spirit Potion Valley and facilitate the business with warriors from the outside and the valley's alchemists. Normally, the five Grand Elders will not participate in the daily operation of the Spirit Hall. In some special occasions, they will show up and stay in the Spirit Hall for several days to do the talks on the medicine refining principles to alchemists in the Spirit Potion Valley. The Spirit Hall has never restrained the alchemists or cared what the warriors' purposes are. It's just a place for people to do business, providing the chance for them to discuss and negotiate. It won't control the detailed content of their business or collect any taxes and fees."

"So, the Spirit Hall is a good place." Shi Yan smiled. "Are you a guard of the Spirit Hall too?"

"Yes," Cherry nodded, "We are the guards of the Spirit Hall. We help our teacher to manage the work in the Spirit Hall. Although we can't earn any Qi jades from it, there's something that benefits us. That's why we are willing to take this responsibility."

"What benefit?

"People who are in charge of the Spirit Hall can ask the Five Grand Elders regarding a difficulty they meet in refining medicines. And, the guards like us can listen to their discussions when the elders visit the Spirit Hall. Of course, it only happens when the two Elders visit at the same time and they have the mood to discuss with each other about the attainment in refining medicines."

Cherry was passionate when she talked about it. But then, she seemed to be distressed. "What a pity that I've been a guard for five years, but I have never met such good chances. The Five Grand Elders, who are the Sacred level alchemists, rarely visit the Spirit Potion Valley. Even if they come, they just greet us and go. We didn't have any chances to talk with them."

Buzz Buzz Buzz!

While Cherry was talking, Shi Yan heard a strange humming in his head.

Shi Yan was dumbstruck, with a surprised countenance.

The Five Devils had been dormant for really long time, but now, they seemed to be awake all of a sudden.

Chapter 532: Awakening

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

The Five Devils in his inner world gathered despair, fear, bloodlust, greed, and resentment into one entity. In the land of the hollow spirits, they had swallowed a lot of hollow spirits, and then laid dormant. They had no response, as they seemed to head towards an evolution, changing slowly.

Shi Yan had almost forgotten that he had these Five Devils hiding in his Sea of Consciousness. As they were flying above the Dead Soul Mountain range, he didn't know what sort of energy provoked them, making them scream inside his Sea of Consciousness. Soon, they would wake up the thought of which frightened Shi Yan. He couldn't help but sink into his mind to carefully check the status of the Five Devils.

In his Sea of Consciousness, the Five Devils were like five groups of dusky smoke where he couldn't see the despair, fear, bloodthirsty, greed, and resentment hovering clearly. Usually, just a small stir up was enough to provoke these negative feelings.

The screaming came from the middle of the Five Devils. At the same time, those dark groups of smoke took turns to transform marvelously.

The energy meandering around them was dragged into the center. The massive cluster shrank fast. Roughly ten seconds later, it disappeared. Five light dots that were as small as the fireflies blinked with a strange light.

The volume decreased, but the energy fluctuations became purer. It seemed there were some transformations that were about to happen.

After a while, the luminous dots suddenly expanded. Seconds later, they turned into five ferocious things, which looked like Demogorgons from the antiquity. One had sharp horns on its head, while another one had a green face and yellow fangs. The others had scale armors covering the body entirely, or a pair of wings extended from the back. None of them looked alike.

The only similar feature of the Five of them was the cold, sinister appearance.

The technique to cultivate the Five Devils of the inner world came from the Blood Vein Ring. To help the Five Devils grow, he needed to absorb the negative feelings and some kind of energy in his Sea of Consciousness. When the Five Devils had just been formed, they weren't that strong. So, they could only use soul attacks to restrict the enemies. After a while, when they could finally escape his Sea of Consciousness, they had the energy enough to build a half-real body, which wasn't too bad.

Today, the Five Devils had the second transformation. Observing his mind, Shi Yan found that the appearance of the Five Devils had been improved, too. Even though they were still in his Sea of Consciousness, they seemed to have real bodies. Flows of grey energy wound around their bodies, which were like human bodies, giving people a feeling of vitality.

Roar… Roar… Roar!

Inside the Sea of Consciousness, the Five Devils were roaring just like demonic beasts who had sensed the scent of fresh blood. They were gliding around and around, trying to escape his Sea of Consciousness.

Shi Yan's pupils shrank, while his face changed. He restored his sound mind, releasing his Soul Consciousness to the surroundings to check what had attracted his Five Devils.

"Are you okay?" Cherry was astounded, her eyes suspicious as she didn't know what was happening to him.

This man halted in the middle of the way. Before that, he had been flying smoothly with her. But then, his eyes went blank. Does he have any disease he doesn't want to tell about? Or have the dead souls possessed him?

Cherry suddenly felt tense, while her deep blue eyes chilled. She instinctively kept a distance from Shi Yan.

When one was possessed by the dead souls, he would become wildly evil, and would attack every creature near him. At that time, he wouldn't feel pain or have a fear of death. Most of the ones who got possessed would instantly vent out their most violent attacks, using brutal and deadly ways to kill every living thing around them.

The dead souls didn't have a body, so they didn't worry that the explosion of the body they possessed would affect them. What they needed to do was to utilize all skills to kill the others. Then, they would draw the others' souls into the dead soul's evil lairs to create new dead souls.

As Cherry lived in the Dead Soul Mountain range, she understood the features of the dead souls pretty well. When she saw Shi Yan's posture, she started to put up her guard.

A lozenge blue crystal that looked like a flame emerged from her palm. The immense blue light was moving inside the crystal, shining like the stars in the sky. The blue light expanded inaudibly, shining on Shi Yan.

Sss Sss Sss

When the blue light touched Shi Yan, it was like it got burned, turning into smoke and scattering.

Cherry was frightened, screaming inside. As she could sense something wrong, she was about to leave.

Her Soul Checking Crystal could check whether a warrior was possessed or not. When the light of the blue crystal reached the ones who got possessed, it would be evaporated instantly.

Why was he possessed? There's no aura of dead souls around. Sigh, it's pretty bad this time. How can I answer my teacher!

Cherry felt as if she had just swallowed bitter juice. She thought that she should leave Shi Yan and run away.

She knew Shi Yan had the Third Sky of Sky Realm. After the dead soul possessed him, if he burst out instantly his power to kill everyone around, she wouldn't be able to endure it. Also, the treasures she had could hardly resist his strength. So, she didn't want to do the useless things, and wanted to get back to the Spirit Potion Valley first, and then plan the next move.

Right when she had flown a hundred meters backward, Shi Yan's body shook as he shouted. "Hey, why are you running back?"

Cherry's soft body shivered, her face discoloring with fear. She didn't dare to stop and even sped up.

Shi Yan was surprised as he had no clue. "What are you doing?"

While he was talking, Shi Yan flew like lightning, shooting towards her. He shouted, "What the heck you are doing? I'm not going to harm you. Why do you wear a face as if you have seen a pervert? Well, it's true that your appearance's attractive to perverts, but you shouldn't think that every man is a pervert, right?"

"Ah!"

Cherry screamed, looking at Shi Yan blocking her way with shock. She muttered suspiciously, "When the high-level dead soul possesses someone, one can still talk like normal people. But should they talk vulgar things like that?"

Dead souls in the Dead Soul Mountain range divided into many levels. Low levels dead souls didn't have strong soul erosive power. Even if they could possess the warrior, they couldn't talk. Only dead souls at high levels with intimidating soul power could use the host to communicate with people.

However, even if it was a high-level dead soul, it could only say some simple things, and it wouldn't be fluent enough.

He was possessed by the highest level dead soul, perhaps? Legends said that the highest level dead soul had the same intelligence as mankind. When a warrior was taken over by this kind of a dead soul, the dead souls' behavior wasn't much different from humans. Anyway, this sort of dead soul was rare. Not many people had seen them for hundreds of years. Would her luck be that bad today?

Cherry was frightened and surprised at the same time, but she didn't continue to flee away.

She understood that if she encountered the highest level, dead souls, let alone herself, even her teacher couldn't escape death.

Usually, the highest level dead souls would show up when the dead souls' evil lairs had some changes.

Once this kind of a dead soul appeared, all the alchemists and blacksmiths living in the Dead Soul Mountain range would join hands, and they would even invite the experts from the Radiant God Cult, the Pure Land, and the Devil Valley around to help them encounter the enemy.

That kind of a dead soul was the most formidable existence. Rumor said that only the absolute True God Realm warriors knew the method to exterminate them.

She was just a Sky Realm warrior. If the high-level dead souls used the Soul Consciousness to control her soul, she couldn't do anything.

"You… Who are you? Human or dead soul?" Cherry regretted it now. She cursed her teacher under her breath. Why he had assigned her such a mission?.

"It's just been a while. Why did you have such big change?" Shi Yan was quite happy. "Did you see ghosts?"

"You saw ghosts!" Cherry barked. Then she was astounded, looking at him. "You… Aren't you possessed by a dead soul? But why did my Soul Checking crystal say that you have other souls in your Sea of Consciousness? Only the sinister dead souls can burn the light of the Soul Checking crystal."

Having hearing her say that, Shi Yan immediately responded. Turned out the existence of the Five Devils had her in doubt.

"The things inside my head aren't the dead souls. They're something else. The features of their souls are somehow similar to the dead souls though," explained Shi Yan.

Cherry was startled, her face odd. "You're a freak. If one has no reason, who would keep strange things in their heads? Don't you know that when you're wounded or careless, they can take over your soul and control your body?"

"I know. And, I have the method to deal with that," Shi Yan didn't explain further.

The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame lived in his host soul, which could swallow all kinds of soul-like beings. Even if the Five Devils were more dangerous, they didn't dare to act rashly in his Sea of Consciousness. Or else, they would be purified by the flame of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame.

With such a tremendous existence to rely on, no matter what kind of souls or strange things entered his Sea of Consciousness, they would be just finding a way to death for themselves.

"What happened to you just now?" Cherry was dumbstruck. She frowned, asking him as curiosity filled her blue eyes.

"Nothing. I just found something." Shi Yan smiled, looking at one direction. "We'll go there and check it out. Something interesting is happening there."

Cherry followed his line of sight, and her smiling face faded. She spoke up with a serious face. "That's the place the dead souls' evil lairs often appear. Dead souls linger there a lot. Why do you want to get there?"

"To learn about the dead souls."

"Aren't you afraid that the dead souls would erode your soul? I've seen a lot of young men like you get possessed by the dead souls because they acted rashly and intruded the forbidden area. Their own souls were expelled. I advise you not to take risks."

"It's okay. I believe nothing would happen to me."

Strange light sparked in Cherry's deep blue eyes. Hesitating for a while, she took out a Rock Panacea, handing it to Shi Yan while feeling painful inside. "You should take this Rock Panacea. It will harden your soul as solid as a rock. Most of the dead souls can't attack you then. I can't refine this type of panacea yet, and my teacher gave me this. Remember, you owe me now."

"No need. You should keep it. I don't need the support from medicines." Shi Yan shook his head, and didn't talk more as he flew towards the direction that the Five Devils had induced.

Chapter 533: Hunting dead souls

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

The dead souls' evil lairs were the most mysterious exotic area of the Dead Soul Mountain range. However, these evil lairs wouldn't stay still. They moved, and someday it would disappear leaving no trace, only to reappear somewhere else.

Normally, only the dead souls could sense the exact location of the evil lairs. The region where the evil lairs often appeared would attract many dead souls.

This kind of an area in the Dead Soul Mountain range was the forbidden place. Warriors who didn't have the absolute confidence would never dare to operate alone in these regions.

The Five Devils sent Shi Yan their roars, then completed their transformation, in which their power seemed to advance one step further. Then, they sent him their thoughts and said that they wanted to get near to that area.

This surprised him. He hesitated for a while, then came to that area to check the situation.

Although Cherry didn't feel good about this, she couldn't change his thoughts. So, she had to follow him to the forbidden area where the dead souls' evil lairs appeared.

It was a valley covered with thick gray clouds. There was no sunlight shining on the valley, even though it was still daytime, which gave people a dark, gloomy atmosphere, irritating them.

There were many wild blades of grass in the valley, some of which looked like scythes. Bushes jutted from the ground just like sharp swords grown on the ground.

"That's the Bone-picking grass... So dangerous. When a human falls into the bushes, they will swarm together and scrape the meat out of their bones to suck the marrow inside."

Cherry arrived, her face solemn. She pointed at the grass underneath and advised him. "Don't fall into the Bone-picking bushes. Even if you are excellent, it's hard to escape."

Shi Yan smiled and nodded. Looking at the Bone-picking grass under his feet, he said, "Can we use this strange grass as medicine?"

Cherry's brow arched as she beamed a faint smile. "You have a good imagination. The Bone-picking grass's a strange flora. How could we use it to refine medicine? Ah, no. If you need some poisons, the juice from that grass can help. It can erode the bones and marrow, which stiffens people's limbs."

"Does anyone collect the Bone-picking grass?"

"I'm not sure. I've never tried to refine poisons, so I don't care about it much." Cherry's blue eyes glared at him with strange light as she was shivering inside.

This man, is he interested in making poison?

Alchemists who created poisons weren't welcomed in the Dead Soul Mountain range. If he were interested in making poisons, he could be a sinister guy, too. She should be more cautious.

"There's some battling!"

Shi Yan's pupils shrank. He attentively looked at the direction ahead of him, speeding up.

Cherry hurried to follow him.

Inside the valley covered with ash-gray clouds, five Sky Realm warriors were using secret treasures to fight against three clusters of dark green mist. The three clusters of mist floated vaguely. Sometimes, they appeared like the ferocious demonic beasts. Sometimes they wore hollow human faces, which never stopped changing.

From the block of dark green mist, evil, cold aura exuded out, as if it could penetrate into people's minds.

The clusters of mist had changed many times, their shapes unidentifiable. They shot out the cold, evil aura, which formed invisible soul attacks, rippling like waves of water, and affecting all corners.

Among the five Sky Realm warriors, there were males and females. However, they weren't alchemists. Each of them was like they were fighting against strong enemies. The secret treasures in their hands all had Yang attributes. The halos around them were scorching red.

"Dead souls!"

Cherry let out a low scream to remind Shi Yan not to go closer. She whispered, "They're hunting dead souls. You shouldn't go there and mess up their business."

"Hunting dead souls?" Shi Yan was surprised, frowning. "Didn't you say that the dead souls are really evil and they will erode human souls? If they are that sinister, what do they need to hunt them for?"

"Although the dead souls are dangerous, they aren't useless. They're precious materials to a blacksmith." Cherry stood away from them, explaining with low voice. "When they want to make their weapons which have intellect, they can apply some different methods. Among those, the way to make their weapon absorb the natural power of heaven and earth to gain the intellect is the most difficult and mysterious."

She paused for a while, and then continued, "However, most of the blacksmiths can't do that. So, it's easier to find the things that are similar to the soul and seal them in their weapon. It's the popular method to make the tool gain intellect. The dead souls are a sort of sinister souls, as they have a strong fighting will. If they can fuse the dead soul and the tool, the power of that tool will be increased marvelously. A Mystery level treasure can be advanced one level to reach the Profound level."

"So, you mean they are hunting the dead souls to forge weapons?" Shi Yan was amazed. "They aren't blacksmiths though."

"Perhaps they want to find some blacksmiths to forge weapons. And because they want to have intelligent weapons, they have to hunt the dead souls." Cherry understood the situation of the Dead Soul Mountain range well. "They will erase the independent consciousness, then seal the dead soul in the treasure. Afterward, they will use a special method to activate the ferocious nature of the dead soul, which could increase the power of the treasure. The higher the level of the dead soul is, the stronger the treasure will be."

"People always do that in the Dead Soul Mountain range?"

"Not really. It's not easy to hunt the dead souls. They have to equip the right secret treasures to subdue them. And, they also need the Rock Panacea. Because, they have to make sure the dead souls can't possess them first. If they can have the right chance, they can catch them. This is very dangerous. If they encounter the low-level dead souls, perhaps they can succeed. But if they have a bad luck facing the dangerous dead souls, they will have to use their lives to make it up."

While they were talking, it seemed the five warriors ahead of them had almost gotten what they wanted. The three dark green dead souls had low levels; they didn't even have a shape. Under the continuous attacks by the nemesis treasures, the three dead souls were struck scattered. Gathering them again was a hard job to do.

The three dead souls were divided from the center. Just like ragged cloth, they were floating and fluttering in the air, trying to escape.

The five warriors wore serious faces, not daring to relax. The treasures in their hands were constantly sparking fire, forming a fire wall that could block a piece of space.

When the dead souls were divided, their powers reduced massively. They didn't dare to cross the fire wall, but just increased their erosive soul attacks.

The five warriors paled. Sweat beaded on their foreheads. Apparently, this kind of erosive soul attack had troubled them seriously.

"Be persistent!" One of them said through his gritted teeth while he was drenched in sweat. "These three dead souls can't gather again. We just need to resist the last wave of their soul attacks and we can get them! Don't let your efforts be wasted. Endure it!"

Those five Sky Realm warriors had big age gaps. The leader seemed to be around fifty years old. One of the other four was roughly forty. Some looked like they were in their thirties, and there was a young girl about seventeen or eighteen years old. She looked pretty young.

As the five of them had joined hands, their treasures constantly moved, generating more flames, which made the three dead souls struggle harder.

"The dead souls are afraid of the powers of flame and lightning. Usually, they don't dare to come close to the flames, but it's hard to burn them to death. Only lightning is their archenemy. In the Dead Soul Mountain range, when it thunders, the dead souls will hide away…"

Cherry explained to Shi Yan about the features of the dead souls while looking at the situation ahead of them. "It's not hard to find the weapons with flame attribute. However, the weapons with the lightning power are scarce. Even in the Dead Soul Mountain range, this sort of secret treasures is still rare. Warriors who have the lightning attribute treasures won't need to worry 'bout the dead souls in the Dead Soul Mountain anymore. As long as they see the treasure, the dead soul will run away in fear. They won't dare to come close."

Shi Yan nodded, feeling more secure.

With the Earth Flame here, he didn't need to be afraid of the dead souls. At the same time, the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring flame was the nemesis of this kind of soul beings. If he encountered some brave dead souls, he just needed to release the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame to purify them.

Roar Roar Roar!

Strange roars came up from his Sea of Consciousness. He hadn't had time to do anything, and the five dark silhouettes had shot out from the back of his head. They then jumped through that fire wall agilely, grabbed the three dead souls and swallowed them. Seconds later, they had finished the whole three dead souls.

Seeing their efforts about to be fruitful, the five warriors had been ready to capture the dead soul. However, they suddenly felt dizzy and immediately found five other grey figures inside their fire wall. These figures then besieged and devoured the dead souls.

Shi Yan changed his visage as he felt bad inside.

Strange light flashed in Cherry's blue eyes. She instinctively looked at the back of Shi Yan's head, her face disbelieving.

The Five Devils had flown out fast. Although she stood next to Shi Yan, she only saw five silhouettes dash out from behind Shi Yan. Thus, she wasn't sure that they came from Shi Yan's body.

"God damn it!"

The fifty-some old man clenched his fists and gritted his teeth indignantly, looking at the five figures behind the fire wall. He scolded, "What the heck are those? Dare to take our goods! Go die!"

The sword in his hand suddenly gushed out a ten-meter long fire, shooting towards the Five Devils.

The other four reacted timely. They clenched their jaws and urged the powers of their secret weapons to attack the Five Devils.

To hunt those three dead souls, the five of them had spent half a year to borrowed enough secret weapons. They had also waited for more than a month in this area to find dead souls. After a hard struggling time, they'd almost got them. It wasn't easy to back them into the corner. And now, someone had snatched the spoils of their strenuous war. How could they press down the anger?

The five of them joined forces again. Fiery flames shot out from the flaming attribute weapons, striking toward the Five Devils.

After the Five Devils had swallowed the dying dead souls, they didn't feel pleased yet. They didn't concern about the scorching flaming attack, turning back into the five dark, gray shadows, gathering in front of Shi Yan and asking him to find more dead souls to fill their stomachs.

Chapter 534: Gigolo?

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

The five gloomy silhouettes didn't have any real bodies, floating next to Shi Yan like five gray ribbons.

Cherry had a surprised face. She blankly looked at the five gloomy shadows. At this moment, she knew that she hadn't been dazzled. Now she knew the things that had devoured the dying dead souls came from Shi Yan.

The five of them had done many things, but got nothing in the end. As they were about to shout and scold, they realized that those five gloomy thieves seemed to have a master.

The five of them were astounded for a while. First, they tried to sense Shi Yan's cultivation base from afar. After they got to know that Shi Yan had only the Third Sky of Sky Realm cultivation base, their guts got bigger. They then came close to Shi Yan with rage.

"Kid, those five energy ribbons came from you, right?" Tie Mu, the leader, snorted with an indignant face. "Don't you know the rules? We've kept an eye on those three dead souls for half of a year. Do you know how much effort and crystals it costs to catch them?"

The other four including three men and a young girl all looked at him wickedly. It seemed they could take action at any minute.

Tie Mu, a Third Sky of Sky Realm warrior, was leading a group of the other four Second Sky of Sky Realm warriors. The five of them had joined forces and wasted a lot of their powers to gain the upper hand, which gave Shi Yan an impression that the dead souls were tough to deal with.

According to Cherry, those three dead souls were at a low level. If the high-level dead souls appeared, would even the Spirit Realm warrior able to catch them?

"Kid, are you mute? I'm talking to you!" Tie Mu shouted, his face impatient. "Give the dead souls back to us. I won't trouble you. Otherwise, don't blame me for having no mercy!"

"I'm sorry. I can't give them back." Shi Yan responded, beaming a faint smile. "Things that were eaten can't be spat out. I can't return the dead souls intact."

After he finished, the five people of Tie Mu's group were enraged. They clenched their jaws and gritted their teeth, as they seemed to attempt to risk their lives with his.

Cherry's blue eyes sparkled. She frowned and then said, "He's our Spirit Hall's distinguished guest. We will be responsible for this. When we come back to the Spirit Hall, we'll compensate for your loss. Is it okay?"

"Spirit Hall?" Tie Mu discolored. He scrutinized her and then said, "Are you Master Zha Lin's disciple?"

Cherry smiled naturally and gave him a slight nod.

"Even Master Zha Lin can't bully people like that!" Tie Mu's visage darkened. "Say it. How will you compensate us? Your Spirit Hall doesn't need the dead souls. Will you be able to give me three dead souls?"

"Our Spirit Hall doesn't have the dead souls, but we have something to exchange for them." Cherry snorted arrogantly. "Although the dead souls are rare, those three were at the lowest level, so their values aren't high. Don't you think that our Spirit Hall doesn't have anything equal to make it up for you? Harrumph, if you've been strolling around the Dead Soul Mountain range, you should know about the capacity of the Spirit Hall."

Tie Mu's face became better when he heard that. "I know your Spirit Hall has big capacities. However, we only need the dead souls!"

"There're many blacksmiths in the Precious Tool Valley. Many of them should have dead souls. When I return to the Spirit Potion Valley, I will ask my teacher to collect three dead souls for you guys. How does that sound?" Cherry frowned impatiently.

In the Dead Soul Mountain range, the alchemists and the blacksmiths had high status. When they treated the other warriors, they always felt that they were one class higher than the others. No matter how tremendous the experts were, they always needed them to refine medicines and weapons. It'd happened that way for so long they eventually developed an arrogant attitude that they could control the other warriors.

The alchemists of the Spirit Hall had a higher status than other alchemists. In the Spirit Potion Valley, Cherry had a good reputation too. Many people had to be obsequious to her, and not many of them dared to provoke her. This also contributed to her arrogant face when dealing with ordinary warriors.

"If you ensure that you can collect three dead souls for us, we will let it go. If not, I want to take this kid's life as our compensation!" Tie Mu snorted.

Cherry harrumphed. She was about to agree with him. In her eyes, it wasn't a big deal.

Shi Yan smiled while listening to their conversation, but he didn't give any opinions. However, as he heard Tie Mu threaten him, his face got colder, speaking up faintly. "Using my life to make it up? Do you think your three dead souls have that high value?"

"Well, to me, your life isn't much value as compared to those dead souls." Tie Mu smiled, his face sparkling with wicked light as if he was making a joke. "Kid, you are living off a woman. Don't tell anyone that. Otherwise, they will look down on you. Understand?"

After that snatching event happened, Cherry was always the one who talked to him. In Tie Mu's eyes, Shi Yan was an incompetent boy who depended on Cherry. They instinctively assumed that Shi Yan had done something to seduce Cherry and make her clean up his mess.

After Tie Mu said that, the other four burst out laughing with disdain on their faces. They all looked at him with the look they gave to gigolos.

"Is that so?" Shi Yan felt funny. He shook his head, talking to Cherry. "You don't need to be bothered with my stuff. You don't need to find the dead souls for them. Well, I want to see what they can do to me."

He knew he was wrong when the Five Devils swallowing the weakened dead souls. He didn't want to take in for granted so he was thinking what he should use to compensate Tie Mu's group.

However, Tie Mu had spit out just bad words. His dark mind and bullsh*t talks irritated Shi Yan. Thus, he decided to be a b*stard.

"Ah," Cherry smiled. Interest appeared on her face as she giggled, looking at him and stepping aside. "Up to you. I don't want to help you either. You should solve it yourself. Anyway, be careful. Although they haven't restored their powers fully, it should be difficult if you fight alone against them."

Since Zha Lin assigned her to bring Shi Yan to the Flying Cloud Summit, she was curious about him. The Flying Cloud Summit was the cultivating place of Li Zheng Rong. Among the Elders of the Spirit Hall, Li Zheng Rong was the most mysterious person. He hadn't come to the Spirit Hall for almost ten years. It seemed he rarely went out.

As he was a high-level alchemist, Li Zheng Rong had connections with the strongest warriors of the Pure Land, the Radiant God Cult, and the Devil Valley. He was always haughty, and disdained the others a lot, not even wanting to throw them a look.

Since Zha Li had asked her to take Shi Yan there, he seemed to confirm that Li Zheng Rong would definitely meet Shi Yan. This made her suspicious. She made some assumption about Shi Yan's identity, and always thought that this young man was mysterious enough to make her think he wasn't as simple as he looked.

Thus, when she heard Shi Yan say that he would take care this mess himself, she didn't worry much. Actually, she was anticipating seeing how dangerous Shi Yan was through this.

"Kid, do you really want to court death?" Tie Mu's face twisted, his eyes dark and gloomy. The flame of anger was burning in his heart, urging him to kill people.

"Court death?" Shi Yan curled his lips. "Are you talking 'bout yourself?"

Anger flooded Tie Mu. He didn't hesitate anymore. The flaming sword in his hand shot out a column of light, lighting the area.

After a while, hundreds of flaming swords torrentially dashed towards Shi Yan, just like fire burning half the sky.

"Interesting."

Shi Yan kept a cold face. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and spurted out a cold air current, which looked like a silky white ribbon.

The cold air splashed on the hundreds oncoming flaming swords. All flames were put out, revealing a real sword without the scorching flame. Its spiritual aura was frozen as well.

Floating in the air, Shi Yan extended his left arm. A cold current swiftly shot out. Beams of crystal clear icicles darted like lightning towards that flaming sword, instantly covering it.

Shi Yan leisurely grabbed the sword and pinched it. He shook his head, smiling. "No intellect. The flame power in it is too feeble. This sword can be reluctantly said to be a grade-two Profound level treasure. How could it hurt me?"

"Tie Mu, we've borrowed this Fire Cloud Sword. Don't break it. We don't want to compensate that big an amount." One of them yelled.

Tie Mu's face changed. He scrutinized Shi Yan again.

Shi Yan smiled, urging a bit of his negative power. The energy around him suddenly increased, as a wild, sinister aura rippled from his body.

Tie Mu was terrified. He discolored as he recognized that there was a furiously dangerous energy covering Shi Yan.

"Still want to hit me?" Shi Yan was calm and steady. He threw a faint glance to the other four, then said neither hurriedly nor slowly. "You can join hands. If you think you can kill me, you can try."

The other four had only the Second Sky of Sky Realm. Although they all heard what Shi Yan said, they didn't dare to act rashly.

"Hey you, what do you want? You are the one who did wrong things," said the young maid who was about seventeen or eighteen of that group indignantly. She was wearing a short green dress, which exposed her arms and slim waist.

"Well, it's true that I did wrong things." Shi Yan didn't deny it. He squinted while smiling, looking at Tie Mu. "If he could keep his mouth clean, I would be a nice guy to talk with. Of course, I would make up for your loss. But it's different now…"

"I'm sorry, I was a snobbish son of a b*tch to have disdained you." Tie Mu assessed himself pitifully and tried to force an ugly smile. "Friend, please give back the Fire Cloud Sword. About the dead soul…"

He couldn't continue.

Even though the dead souls were important and he wanted them, he understood that he couldn't trouble the power that Shi Yan had shown them. So, he didn't know if he should finish his saying or not.

"Take back this Fire Cloud Sword." Shi Yan snorted. "If you weren't the disciples of the Radiant God Cult, I wouldn't be letting you go that easy!"

Although these five Sky Realm warriors were borrowing the power of the treasures to use the flame, the energy flowing in their body was the Flaming Sun Execution of the Radiant God Cult. Shi Yan got it crystal clear.

He still had good feelings towards the Radiant God Cult. However, because of his mutated martial spirit, he didn't dare to visit the Radiant God Cult. Anyway, Zhao Feng and the other members of the Radiant God Cult had helped him in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, so he appreciated them.

Swoosh!

A beam of Earth Flame poured into the sword. The flame, which had disappeared burned again on the sword, and it looked even more blazing.

Tie Mu's eyes brightened, his face surprised and joyful.

"Take back your Fire Cloud Sword. Take me to the place of the dead souls. I'll help you catch three more," Shi Yan assigned them coldly.

Chapter 535: Precipitous

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

As they heard that Shi Yan wanted to help them catch the dead souls, the five people of Tie Mu's group didn't show that they were happy. Quite the contrary, they all wore panic-stricken faces.

"It's too dangerous. We'd better not go there. We can wait for another chance to catch the dead souls. If we lose our lives, it will be too bad." Tie Mu shook his head continually. He seemed to have an extreme fear of that area.

Shi Yan was surprised. "What do you fear?"

"Not only low-level dead souls, there should be some at high levels there as well. If we have to go there, we can't endure them for sure," Tie Mu smiled miserably.

"Shi Yan, you shouldn't take risks. It's easy to deal with the low-level dead souls, but it's tough to deal with the high-level ones. You shouldn't go," Cherry advised with a low voice.

People living in the Dead Soul Mountain all knew that the dead souls were dangerous. If they encountered the low-level ones, they could use the Rock Panacea to secure their souls, preventing them from being eroded. However, the high-level dead souls could directly penetrate into the warriors' Sea of Consciousness to nib their souls, despite the pellet they had taken.

If they weren't at Spirit Realm, it would be tough to defend the soul-erosion effect of the high-level dead souls.

Be it Cherry or Tie Mu, they only had the Sky Realm cultivation base. Once they faced a high-level dead soul, they couldn't save their soul from being eroded by the dead soul, even if they had the Rock Panacea. Once their soul started to be eroded, they couldn't urge any beam of energy to counter. At that time, they could only gawk at the dead soul feasting on their souls. Eventually, their souls would be destroyed.

Thus, when she heard that the area had the high-level dead souls coming back and forth, Cherry also felt scared. She didn't want to go there.

Shi Yan had the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame and the Five Devils protecting him, so he wasn't afraid of the dead souls. When he knew Tie Mu's group didn't want to lead the way, he frowned, thought for a second, and then said, "Alright, then you can just show me the exact direction. I'm going there alone."

"You shouldn't take such risks," advised Cherry.

Shi Yan's face was still cold and persistent.

Tie Mu contemplated. Under the attraction of the dead souls, he pointed towards a shade of a mountain in the South-West. "There's a cave hiding behind a big pine. When you get there, you should be more careful. The dead souls often travel through the entrance. Inside the cave is gloomy; of course, there are more dead souls there."

As the four other disciples of the Radiant God Cult heard that Shi Yan wanted to take the risk, they all made it clear that they didn't want to accompany him. They showed him respect, but kept a distance from him.

"And you?" Shi Yan smiled at Cherry, "Are you afraid of high-level dead souls, too?"

"I'm just an alchemist," nodded Cherry. She then answered him soundly. "Fighting is not my strength. Especially in a fight with dead souls, I can't be of help to you."

Regarding powers and strength, the alchemists were one level lower than the normal warriors, and their knowledge and cultivation of soul weren't as deep as the warriors who had specialties.

In the Dead Soul Mountain range, some high-level dead souls loved to trouble the alchemists.

Since the endurance of the alchemists' souls was weak, when they seized the chance, they could attack the alchemists' soul easily, much easier than attacking the ordinary warriors.

Shi Yan would never force Cherry if she were reluctant. He nodded while smiling, "Alright, you can stay here. After I grab some dead souls, I'll come back here to find you."

"You should be careful. The three recent ones were just the low-level dead souls. It's not easy to deal with the high-level ones." Cherry could see that her advice was no use, so she could only reluctantly see him off. "And, although the high-level dead souls rarely appear, it doesn't mean that there are none of them dwelling in the Dead Soul Mountain range. If you have the bad luck of meeting up the highest level dead soul, I advise you not to trust your luck. Run away as fast as you can… Never linger. Usually, the strong dead souls can't operate too far from the evil lairs. As long as you can run fast enough, and far enough from the dead souls' evil lairs, I think the highest level dead souls won't chase after you."

"So, are there any distinctive differences between the normal dead souls and the highest level dead souls?"

"Yeah, but we can't identify it," Cherry shook her head. "According to my master, when your soul cultivation base reaches a certain level, you can use your Soul Consciousness to sense the differences between them. Warriors who encountered the highest level dead souls almost have no chance to run away. One or two of them had successfully escaped, but they wouldn't want to share the details they had observed. So, the others couldn't know much."

It was no help at all. Shi Yan smiled, and didn't continue. He waved his hand at Cherry, then departed in the direction Tie Mu had shown him.

It was an area covered with thick, dark gray clouds, like a gray curtain that hindered people's vision. Shi Yan released his Soul Consciousness, and immediately found that his sensing was weakened, as he could only sense the soul fluctuations within hundreds of meters around him. His Soul Consciousness couldn't extend any further.

Shi Yan became more alert. He slowed down his flying speed and observed here and there cautiously. He also checked the space underneath him.

The valley underneath him had vibrant bushes of Bone-picking grass, growing densely, just like the scythe of Death, waiting to harvest people's lives.

Under the shade of the mountain ahead of him, clusters of gray clouds became thicker, which obstructed his vision and Soul Consciousness more.

Flows of cold and despondent aura flooded from ahead of him. It felt like some small, pale hands were stroking his body, making his hair rise simultaneously in fear.

Taking a deep breath, he didn't hurry to intrude the place, but called the Earth Flame and asked it to fly in front of him, in case some dangerous dead souls would ambush him.

The Earth Flame was like a small sun, shining a blazing light and scorching heat, which washed away the cold. It turned into a beautiful firing line, leading the way.

Shi Yan activated the Star Shield and the Dark Light Shield. Covered in two protection layers, he quietly gathered his power, flying cautiously behind the Earth Flame at a moderate speed, always on alert.

Fifteen minutes later, he arrived at the place Tie Mu mentioned, the shaded area of the mountain.

A big pine tree that needed five people to circle appeared near the cliff. The tree looked like a giant monster under the shade of the mountain, which could ferociously swallow all creatures. Flows of sinister and cold air flooded out from the place hidden behind the pine tree. Sometimes, people could see the little luminous green spots fly out like the jack-o'-lanterns floating and disappearing into thin air.

The flying speed of the Earth Flame suddenly became sluggish, just like an extremely slow snail.

"Something's there…" The Earth Flame was quite intelligent. As it sensed something abnormal, it immediately sent him a message.

"Yeah, I know there should be something. Could you sense what it is exactly?" replied Shi Yan.

"I don't know. I have never seen this kind of a creature before. They don't have a tangible body. They are sinister and hostile. They want to take everything…" the Earth Flame was uncertain, so its description was unclear.

Roar Roar Roar!

The floating Five Devils suddenly became excited. They meandered over his body just like tentacles. Half of their bodies coiled around his waist, and the other half was probing around, just like the strange snakes ready to attack.

Swoosh!

The Ice Cold Flame turned into a bunch of crystal clear white lights, shooting out from the Blood Vein Ring. It then condensed into a block of ice crystal, covering his left arm and sending him its thoughts. "They are some sorts of evil souls. I have never met such things before. They don't belong in this continent, either. This kind of evil souls are bloodthirsty, and they have a strong possessive desire. It seems they can erode creatures' souls. That's all I can sense… I'm not sure I could sense further…"

Shi Yan's brows slammed together. He became more careful, adjusting his speed as slow as the Earth Flame.

Eventually, he bypassed the pine tree, and saw a cave hiding behind the root of the tree. The entrance was small, but the shutter looked big. It was really dark, and he could see nothing but the vague green light inside. The green light was despondent, which suited the place's ambiance pretty well. This made people sink into an extremely depressing feeling.

Whiz Whiz Whiz!

The Five Devils were like demonic beasts who had smelled the fresh scent of blood, turning into a think group of gray smoke and drilling into the cave.

Shi Yan's discolored, but he couldn't stop them timely. He sped up, dashing towards the cave.

"Don't go!"

The Earth Flame and the Ice Cold Flame sent him their thoughts simultaneously. They seemed to be terrified.

At the same time, the Five Devils, who had been eagerly entering the cave, were turning back to Shi Yan with a faster speed. Seemed like they had seen something really intimidating. Each of them showed itself, trying to get back into his body.

However, it seemed there was a strong suction force coming from the cave, trying to draw them back. They tried to struggle, but couldn't get out of the cave.

In the entrance, a green light suddenly brightened fiercely. Thanks to that evil, gloomy green light, Shi Yan finally saw what were inside the cave.

Inside the unknown-deep cave, countless deep green dead souls gathered. There was a dozen of them at the entrance.

Entering deep inside, the dead souls there were like a green dye clutching on the stone wall. They were seeming as if they were suddenly awakened.

At the deepest place of the entrance, Shi Yan vaguely saw something like a big chunk of meat, which had many small holes drilling into the block, where blood was bleeding unceasingly. Under the chunk of meat were piles of many dead warriors. The base of the meat block extended into the center of the dead body piles, as if it were sucking some kind of energy from those corpses. The dead souls in the cave gathered around the meat block. It seemed they were guarding over it, which looked quite strange.

All of a sudden, an extremely gloomy and evil aura burst out from the other end of the cave. The green light inside became even more dazzling.

Gathering his spirit, Shi Yan found that the dead souls inside the cave were connected to each other by green fibers, just like a big spider web. At the same time, when countless dead souls started swelling, they started to release the soul erosive energy which was invisible to naked eyes, entering Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness.

At that short moment, he was dragged into illusions. He saw so many dead souls nibbling, tearing his body and sucking his blood. They wanted to drag him into the cave.

The Earth Flame burst out.

The Earth Flame which was as big as a palm abruptly released a scorching flame. The sea of fire torrentially flooded into the cave.

Numerous dead souls started to scream with a strange 'Sss Sss' sound, as if the Earth Flame was burning them to the acme of pain. Seizing the chance, the Five Devils struggled harder and escaped the cave, immediately hiding themselves in Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness.

The moment the Five Devils got in his Sea of Consciousness, Shi Yan didn't think much, fleeing away with his max speed. Using Star Brilliance and Electric Shift, he turned into a flow of starlight, zooming over ten li like an arc light.

Chapter 536: Unhurriedly enter the mountain

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

After fifteen minutes, Shi Yan came back to where Cherry and Tie Mu's group gathered, his face bitter.

"How was it? Did you catch any dead souls?" asked Tie Mu with caution.

"No," Shi Yan shook his head, his face darkened. "I met the souls there. That cave's full of dead souls, hundreds of them. Some of them should be at a high level. I'm lucky that I acted quickly. Otherwise, I could have been captured."

There were so many dead souls inside the cave, and the aura they released was tremendous. When that large number of dead souls struck together, even the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame couldn't burn them all in a short period of time, he supposed. If he were careless and the high-level dead souls took that chance to enter his host soul, what he gained would never make up the loss he had to bear.

"Hundreds of them!" Cherry's face changed as she affirmed, "It should be the dead souls' evil lairs near there. Otherwise, it's impossible that so many dead souls could gather at the same spot. I think you had a bad fortune, but still were lucky enough. At least, you came back alive."

"I have never seen so many dead souls like that," Tie Mu was more frightened. "Just three low-level dead souls and we had to shed blood already. The five of us couldn't even resist ten of them, let alone hundreds!"

"Well, I have no way to catch the dead souls for you. Later on, you should find Cherry and ask her." Shi Yan rubbed his nose, feeling a little bit embarrassed.

The five people of Tie Mu's group nodded, wearing a forced smile.

Shi Yan had used his strength to prove that he could kill them at any minute. Under this circumstance, no matter what Shi Yan said, they had to agree. They didn't want the backfire.

"Alright, don't wear that bitter face. We didn't say that we won't compensate you guys. It's just the three low-level dead souls, not a big deal," snorted Cherry.

Tie Mu and his group smiled at her.

"We should go to the Flying Cloud Summit now," Cherry looked at Shi Yan.

"Yeah. Let's go!"Three days later, Cherry stopped in front of a grand mountain.

She eyed the mountain hiding in the clouds with a longing face. "That's the Flying Cloud Summit, the richest mountain in the Dead Soul Mountain range, with so many precious products. And, only the character like Elder Li deserves a summit like this. People who can visit the Flying Cloud Summit are all big men. They're the Elders of the Radiant God Cult, the Pure Land, the Devil Valley, or other famous warriors of the continent. Small people like me have never had a chance to climb this mount."

Shi Yan was amazed.

The Flying Cloud Summit was more than ten thousand meters high. White clouds bobbed in the middle of the mountainside. Strange animals like the white red-crowned crane were flying here and there. Heaven and earth aura here was dense and pure, which comforted people. From the foot of the mountain, they could see that the Flying Cloud Summit had many green patches where they grew spiritual herbs. They were so many herbs and of various types that it dazzled people.

A rugged mountain path led directly to the Flying Cloud Summit. In front of the gateway stood a giant green stone, which had some big old-style calligraphy words. "No Unauthorized entry."

"Let's go. We should climb up now." Shi Yan smiled. While he was still talking, his body had already floated in the sky, attempting to fly directly to the peak.

"Don't!" Cherry stopped him.

Shi Yan was bewildered, looking at her, having no clue.

"There're many banned things in this Flying Cloud Summit. Although there are no barriers in this mount, we can't just fly there directly like that." Cherry explained him with a respectful face. "This is our Spirit Hall Grand Elder's cultivating place. When the elders of the Radiant God Cult or the Pure Land come here, even they have to mount that path. Anyone who flies up directly will violate the rules here. Elder Li will never meet them."

"So, he has a high price?"

"Of course!" Cherry told him with a serious countenance. "The Flying Cloud Summit is the holy land of our Spirit Hall. Small people like us don't even have the right to come and say hello. Even if it is my teacher, without the prior permission of Elder Li, he doesn't dare to come here. Since we are small people, we should follow the rules."

Pausing for a while, she continued. "Are you confident that Elder Li will meet you? If you are unsure, don't do rash things. Elder Li doesn't like to be disturbed. Moreover, he has recently told us that without his order, no one is allowed to bother him, including the experts of the Pure Land and the Radiant God Cult!"

"Don't worry. If he doesn't want to meet me, I'll leave." Shi Yan smiled. "If I'm not sure about that, how can I go there and claim shame on myself?"

Having heard him say so, Cherry could relax. She nodded and said, "Alright, you should go there. I'll wait for you here. Anyway, my task was to bring you here. It's accomplished now. I have no other tasks."

Cherry was a bit disappointed and somewhat fascinated at the same time. She looked at the peak in the clouds as if she was waiting for something.

Shi Yan couldn't help but laugh as he understood that she was waiting for him to invite her to go with him. "Let's go. It's been hard for you to take me here. If you don't mind, we should go there together, shall we?"

Cherry's eyes brightened, her face joyful. She giggled. "You are inviting me to go with you?"

"Yeah."

"Thank you. Seems you still have a conscience."

"Don't babble. Let's go."

Shi Yan took the lead to the mountain.

Along the way to the peak, they saw many spiritual farms where rare and precious herbs were planted. Shi Yan didn't know about more than half of them.

Cherry's blue eyes sparkled as she greedily eyed at the spiritual herbs along their way. She couldn't help but compliment. "Elder Li's worth the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall. He's like a God. Only the great alchemists like him could grow these spiritual herbs. Look at this Spirit Breaking Grass. They say that it only grows in the snowy mountain. This Igniting Fruit can only bear fruits in the wall slit of the magma rock. These spiritual herbs require the extreme conditions to grow. I don't know what method Elder Li's used to nurture them in the Flying Cloud Summit…"

Cherry didn't talk much on the way they got there. However, when they arrived the Flying Cloud Summit, she was like a radio at the correct frequency, and couldn't stop speaking. She showed him the herbs and complimented nonstop. She idolized Li Zheng Rong so much she regretted she couldn't make him her teacher.

"Zha Lin's your teacher. Do you want to betray your school?" Shi Yan teased her.

"If Elder Li makes me his disciple, I think my teacher will be proud of me too. He won't stop me, but do his best to have a good relationship with me." Cherry wore a fascinating countenance; strange light twinkled in her blue eyes while she was smiling.

Shi Yan didn't bother to talk with her. He felt that alchemists were the sort of people one couldn't reason with. Each of them was odd enough.

"So, no one dreams about those spiritual fields?" On the way to the peak, Shi Yan didn't see anyone watching over the fields. As he was curious, he asked the girl.

"Who dares to dream of the spiritual farm of the Flying Cloud Summit?" Cherry looked at him as if she were looking a dummy. "Elder Li's the peak alchemist of the whole Dead Soul Mountain range. All alchemists respect and admire him. The great elders of the Radiant God Cult, the Pure Land, or the Devil Temple have to be servile to him. If they mess up with Elder Li, it's no different from creating grudge with half of the forces in the Grace Mainland. Who dares, you say? If they are invincible experts, they won't lay their eyes on these herbs. The low-level thieves don't dare to come. So, even if they don't set any barriers here, it's safe enough."

Shi Yan blamed himself for the stupid question.

During the mountaineering, Shi Yan didn't say any useless words.

Half a day later…

After they had passed hundreds of spiritual fields, Shi Yan and Cherry were about to reach the peak of the Flying Cloud Summit.

At this moment, a clear but cold voice arose although there were no other people on the road. "Intruders, who are you? Haven't you heard the notice? Within three years, no one can enter the Flying Cloud Summit! Didn't you bring your brain with you?"

Cherry reddened embarrassedly. She bowed her head, not daring to answer because she was frightened.

Shi Yan's eyes lit up. He laughed slightly, "Lin xiao-mei (little sister – TL), long time no see. Well, do you want to stop your friends who have crossed a long way to get here at the door?"

He recognized the one who was talking with them from a secret place somewhere was Lin Ya Qi, who used to visit the Endless Sea. The little girl with a big bosom was Ye Chang Feng's older sister.

"... You are… that b*stard Shi Yan?!?" Lin Ya Qi contemplated for a while. Seemed she was trying to remember the identity of the intruders. Later on, she smiled charmingly. "Well, friends from the far land… You b8stard, weren't you staying in the Endless Sea? Why did you leave that place and come to the Grace Mainland? Why are you here?"

In the middle of the giggling, a thick magma dike split open. Lin Ya Qi appeared in a white light. She looked at him from above and chuckled. "You're strong indeed. Well, since you can come here, you should have some good tricks."

Shi Yan felt a little bit funny, "Ye Chang Feng gave me the token. He told me to visit the Spirit Potion Valley and show them the token. They would take me here. Alright, where is my buddy Ye Chang Feng?"

"Oh, I almost forgot," Lin Ya Qi spatted her head. She snorted, "Don't mention that little b*stard. He seized the chance our teacher was secluding and cultivating to sneak out and have fun somewhere. I haven't seen him for almost one year. Our teacher said that after he finished his cultivating period this time, he would give him a good lesson."

"I want to meet elder Li. Is it convenient?" Shi Yan's face was solemn. "I have something I want to ask him."

Lin Ya Qi's expression showed that it was a bit difficult. "Our teacher is still cultivating. He said that no one is allowed to bother him. Well, if it's you, I can notify him. But I'm not sure he could meet you immediately."

Shi Yan smiled and nodded.

"Okay. Get in. Have some tea and take a rest." Lin Ya Qi waved her hand. Then her look shifted to Cherry. "Who's that? Your woman? Tsk, you fella are a real womanizer. Wherever you go, you have pretty chicks to be your company. Such a b*stard!"

Cherry blushed, throwing Shi Yan a strange look, shaking her head to explain. "No. I'm not his woman. I, I am from the Spirit Hall."

"Spirit Hall?" Lin Ya Qi's face got colder. She answered arrogantly. "Sorry. This is not the place you should be. You should return using the old way."

"Although she's from the Spirit Hall, she's my woman, too. Don't talk too much, I'm tired. This trip has been long enough. You should bring me tea quickly." Shi Yan said with a natural face, smiled, then pulled Cherry's small hand, walking toward Lin Ya Qi.

Cherry reddened. She tried to wiggle a bit. However, since she had a desire for this holy land, the Flying Cloud Summit, she didn't struggle too much as she let Shi Yan grab her hand, walking forward with her head bent down.

"You should have said it earlier." Lin Ya Qi rolled her eyes at him and then let them pass. "I know it. You b*stard aren't a good man. You tease the flowers and the moon everywhere. Never have a moment to calm down. My little brother told me that you weren't a good guy in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist too. You seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with a woman of the Aoke family."

"Motherf*cker! That kid has slandered me!" Shi Yan wore an angry expression, scolding the other.

Chapter 537: Li Zheng Rong

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Inside the Flying Cloud Summit's mountainside, there were many large stone chambers that could be seen. Multi-colored gems were inlaid on the wall, illuminating the whole room as bright as daylight.

Although they were in the mountainside, it didn't look dark at all. Air flowed everywhere, together with the dense spiritual Qi.

Strange and miraculous herbs were present in the stone chambers, kept in special containers. There were some tools holding the fresh, green leaves, and they seemed to be still growing.

There was a spacious room as big as a basketball court, matted with thick rugs, where an incense burner was exuding fragrant smoke. The room had its wall carved with many magical spiritual formation and spells. Different colored flows of spiritual Qi were moving slowly inside the formations, looking like some snakes slithering.

Shi Yan and Cherry were seated in this large stone room.

Lin Ya Qi gave them some good tea with a smile, "Hey, you, why do you want to visit the Dead Soul Mountain? I heard that your Endless Sea has had a big change. Why don't you stay there?"

"The threats in the Endless Sea were solved. Within one hundred years, members of the Fourth Demon Area and the Seven-layered Underworld won't come back to the Endless Sea. The Sea Tribes are fine, too. I don't need to worry about them." Shi Yan smiled as he sipped his tea, "And you, when we were in the middle of the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, why did you disappear?"

"I was going with my teacher, so I didn't have time to visit those two exotic lands." Lin Ya Qi's beautiful eyes brightened as she said suddenly. "I heard that you had a big catch in the exotic lands of the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist. Could you show me some? Let me get the profit at your expense too."

"Well, elder Li takes a good care of you. Why do you bother with my small toys? Don't tease me." Shi Yan shook his head, his face serious. "Hey, please notify Elder Li. Tell him that I want to ask him for a favor."

Hearing him say so, Lin Ya Qi didn't continue to be lengthy. She nodded and said, "Make yourself home. I'm going to report to my teacher."

"Yes."

Lin Ya Qi swayed her body, entering a bright-lit channel which led into the mountain wall. She disappeared shortly.

Shi Yan took in his tea while watching the walls with great interest. Sometimes, he shifted his eyes to Cherry, looking pensive.

After they got in this room, Cherry hadn't spoken a word as she put all of her attention to the spiritual formation on the walls. Her eyes brightened, as if she had found the hidden treasures. She was trying to memorize them all, not wanting to leave even a single formation.

"Cough cough!"

Shi Yan let out a light cough. After he successfully received Cherry's attention, he beamed a faint smile and then probed. "You seem to be interested in those formations a lot. Do they give you any clues for your medicine refining job?"

Cherry's soft body shivered. Her blue eyes twinkled beautifully as she nodded earnestly. "Of course. Those spiritual formations are the ways the alchemists transport their Soul Consciousness, and that's how the medicine revolves during the process. They include the most mysterious Intent Domain of an alchemist. If I can comprehend the subtle features of this magical formation, my attainment will enter a new stage immediately."

Shi Yan was amazed.

Cherry explained him quickly. "When the alchemists refine pellets, we have to pour our Soul Consciousness into the cauldron, using it to carve the spiritual spell that activates the herbs and promotes their efficacy. A magical formation or spell is the most important link in refining medicine. If this link doesn't work or fails, even if you have good ingredients, you are just wasting them. When an alchemist understands the formation or the spell thoroughly, not only can he save the herbs, but also increase the power of the medicinal efficacy of the pellet. Thus, an excellent alchemist should have a deep understanding about the marvelous formations with a high realm."

"So, what's your realm?" Shi Yan asked with surprise.

"Me?" Cherry forced a smile, shaking her head. "I'm bad. Even my teacher Zha Lin doesn't know many formations, and he couldn't understand them thoroughly either. The alchemists like Elder Li are familiar with the spiritual formations and spells, which helps them promote the effect of the pellets to the peak."

After Cherry finished her explanation, she continued gazing at the spiritual formations on the wall, not caring about him anymore.

People who could meet Li Zheng Rong were all the peak warriors of the Grace Mainland or the excellent alchemists. Even Zha Lin hadn't had the chance to visit this place.

It was hard for Cherry to have this chance. She was willing to let Lin Ya Qi misunderstand her so she could have a chance to look at those formations.

To alchemists who were passionate in refining medicines, the spiritual formations on the walls here were the biggest treasure. It was similar to the martial techniques of the warriors. As long as she could understand them, her career would be widened and brighter. If she could make it smooth, she could enter a new realm as well.

Shi Yan wasn't an alchemist, so it was hard for him to understand her persistence. Seeing her focus on studying the magical formation, he didn't bother her more, just letting her absent-mindedly look at the wall.

One hour later, Lin Ya Qi got back to the room. She stood at the entrance of the channel, waving at Shi Yan to signal him to come alone.

Shi Yan stood up, and he noticed that Cherry didn't realize his activity as she was still paying her full attention to the wall.

While smiling, he tiptoed towards Lin Ya Qi as he was afraid that he would bother the girl. Then, he walked with Lin Ya Qi into the quiet stony cave.

After they had left for a while, Lin Ya Qi cocked her head and rolled her eyes at him. "You, you really care about that woman, right? Not only you took her here, but also don't want to disturb her. Spit it out honestly, what is the relationship between you two?"

"She's my woman. I told you, right?"

"Devil buys it! When you took her hand, she was startled. It isn't natural at all. Do you think that I didn't see that?"

"So, why didn't you comment at that time?"

"Because I had to give you face. B*stard, you don't appreciate me at all, do you?"

"Ah, no no. Thank you, thank you."

"Then tell me, what's the relationship between you two?"

"Nothing. The Spirit Hall assigned her to take me to the Flying Cloud Summit. She took care of me along the way. She wanted to visit the place, so I played the good guy's role and gave her a hand."

Lin Ya Qi was naïve and innocent. It seemed she was interested in the affectionate relationship between men and women. Along the way there, she continually asked him about it. She even probed Shi Yan's private affairs, asking him how many women he had been with. This irritated Shi Yan.

As they had just finished halfway, Shi Yan decided to zip his mouth. No matter what she inquired, he kept his mouth shut.

Lin Ya Qi clenched her teeth, rolling her eyes at him angrily. "I'm just curious. Can't you satisfy my little curiosity for a while? You know, my evil master controls me tightly. That brat Ye Chang Feng often has chances to get out. But I don't have his big guts. I'm lonely here. It's so boring…"

Shi Yan was surprised for a while. "Your teacher doesn't allow you to go out?"

"In my realm, when he doesn't ask me to go out, I'm forbidden." Lin Ya Qi drooped her head, her face dispirited.

"Wait until you reach the Third Sky of Sky Realm, and your alchemist attainment reaches the Profound Level. I'll let you go out for three years." A leisurely, friendly laughter came from behind the wall in front of them. The wall then split open, revealing a tunnel decorated with gems. All of them were sparkling dazzlingly.

"Hurry up. The evil old man heard us." Lin Ya Qi tucked her tongue out, speeding her pace swiftly forward.

Shi Yan followed her.

Inside a spacious cave, he saw more than ten caldrons with different sizes and colors. Mysterious patterns were carved on the cauldrons that looked more like the tadpole scripts. More than ten cauldrons occupied half of the space in the cave. Outside the place, there were piles of bottles, jars, and containers which were full of spiritual herbs.

In the center of the cauldron area lied a fat man with a lazy appearance. He was fat like a small mountain of meat. The man squinted his small eyes, beaming a smile that seemed to be of no harm to any creature. He smiled at Shi Yan, then slightly raised his arm. "Little buddy, you are Shi Yan? Thank you for your drop of Life Original Fluid. Haha, you came from the Endless Sea. You're my distinguished guest."

Li Zheng Rong moved his body, reluctantly leaning against a big cauldron to sit up. He smiled awkwardly. "I'm too fat. It's hard to move, and I'm lazy to exercise, too. If I can sit, I won't stand. If I can lay down, I won't sit. Many years ago, I used my body to test the drugs I refined. At that time, my realm wasn't high enough, so among the medicines I refined, many of them didn't meet the standard. I took them too much and got sick. Now, I'm getting fatter over time. Big headache."

"Elder Li, just make yourself comfortable. No need to mind me." Shi Yan smiled friendly. He then walked leisurely to each of the cauldrons to take a look. After that, he asked the fat man with great surprise. "These cauldrons show your progress of refining, right?"

Light shimmered from Li Zheng Rong's small eyes while his fat face trembled. He laughed cheerily. "Why you ask so?"

He seemed to study Shi Yan, as if the young man had just touched his interest. His small eyes became livelier.

"When Elder Li refined pellets those old years, I guess you had used the biggest cauldron." Shi Yan said with a solemn face, walking to that cauldron. "At that time, your realm wasn't high enough, which made you dependent on the tools. And, your knowledge of refining pellets wasn't sufficient. That's why you needed a big cauldron to carve the formation to promote the efficacy of the herbs.

"As your Realm improved, your understanding of spiritual formation and the attainment became more brilliant. Later on, you realized that the cauldron was just a container during the medicinal refining process. Then, you didn't use the big cauldrons anymore, but started to comprehend a higher Upanishad of refining method. Since that time, you'd started to use the smaller cauldrons.

"When Elder Li's realm reached the peak, you didn't need the cauldron anymore. You only used the fiery flame in your body to refine the earth-shaking pellets. At that moment, Elder Li was no longer dependent on using cauldrons. You've become a great master. Naturally, you don't need to use the external tools anymore. Now, you are using your body as the cauldron, your Soul Consciousness to be the leading medicine to gather and condense the heaven and earth aura, which could promote the efficacy of the herbs to the acme. This is the top realm of medicinal refining."

"Kid, you do have good knowledge!" Li Zheng Rong's small eyes brightened. He nodded continually, trying to clap his fat hands. He seemed to reassess Shi Yan. "No wonder why that buddy Chang Feng told me you aren't ordinary. Although our little a*shole's a bit stubborn, he still has good knowledge. As I've met you today, I finally get it."

Shi Yan smiled modestly. "I'm not going to go around the bush. I'm coming here today to ask you to help me take a friend of mine back from the Pure Land. I can use the Life Original Fluid to exchange."

Li Zheng Rong was astounded for a while. Eventually, he sat upright and said seriously, "No matter what you offer, the Pure Land won't return your friend. I'm sure about this."

Chapter 538: She's really great

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Shi Yan's face darkened in the middle of the room full of cauldrons.

Lin Ya Qi was astounded. She hesitated for a while then asked, "Master, last time you told us that the Life Original Fluid is very precious. Isn't it enough to exchange for that woman?"

"Nothing can exchange for her," Li Zheng Rong sighed. "One year ago, Elder Jin Chuang of the Pure Land came to me. He asked me to help them refine the Levitating Immortal Pill for that little girl. It's not easy to refine the Levitating Immortal Pill. It needs so many types of spiritual herbs. Many of them aren't available. They need to search for them in other regions. They are scarce in our Divine Great Land, too."

"Levitating Immortal Pill?" Lin Ya Qi wore a surprised face. She tucked her tongue out. "The Pure Land's really a big spender!"

"Is the Levitating Immortal Pill precious?" Shi Yan frowned.

"The Levitating Immortal Pill is the pill to enhance the Profound Qi. One pellet of the Levitating Immortal Pill can make a First Sky of Sky Realm warrior earn the Profound Qi's density of a Second Sky of Sky Realm. The Levitating Immortal Pill needs ninety-seven rare herbs of medium grade and a rare water spirit. The process is really complicated, and the failure possibility is high too. A cauldron of Levitating Immortal Pill with abundant herbs, refined by a Sacred Level alchemist, could produce only five pellets with the number of herbal ingredients required for one hundred pellets," explained Lin Ya Qi.

Shi Yan was dumbstruck.

Putting ingredients for a hundred pellets, but it could produce only five... It was tough to refine the Levitating Immortal Pill, indeed.

"At that time, I asked Jin Chuang what did they need the Levitating Immortal Pill for. He told me they wanted to improve the strength of that little girl. Since my relationship with Jin Chuang isn't shallow, he told me that the Reincarnation Martial Spirit of that little girl has the soul memories of some previous generations. They took the girl to the Pure Land and sensed. Finally, they found that little girl's soul memories have the memories of an ancestor of the Pure Land who lived in the Antiquity Era," said Li Zheng Rong.

Shi Yan's face changed. "I heard Ye Chang Feng say that she has just a soul imprint of an ancestor of the Pure Land in her memory. Is it true?"

"It's the memory of the latest generation," Li Zheng Rong took a deep breath. "Seniors of the Pure Land usually have the Spirit Realm cultivation base. They aren't too dangerous. However, the ancestors of the Pure Land in the Antiquity Era had the God King Realm cultivation base! That little girl's realm and powers aren't high enough to restore all the memories of that ancestor. That's why Jin Chuang's group had to rush and be excited at the same time. They really want to increase her strength."

Pausing for a while, Li Zheng Rong continued, "Once that little girl reaches the True God Realm, she will gradually recall the martial Upanishads of the realm related to that ancestor in the Antiquity Era. As long as she has enough Essence Qi to support, her cultivating path will have no significant obstacles. She will go directly to the God King Realm! At last, when she reaches the True God Realm, she can remember the Upanishads of the techniques of the God King Realm warrior. At that time, she will become the most precious treasure of the Pure Land that can benefit all their warriors."

Shi Yan's brows slammed together. He kept silent.

"I can only say that that little girl's too lucky, and her good fortune's boundless. You should feel happy for her. Those people from the Pure Land had intended to use the secret treasures to help that ancestor's soul replace her soul directly. However, thanks to her fate, no one dares to do that in the Pure Land. Now, she can keep her soul and use the properties of the Pure Land to cultivate and break through with unimaginable speed nonstop."

"That Pure Land's ancestor's soul won't replace hers?"

"No, it won't. You can relax. It's been tens of thousands of years. That ancestor's soul will soon be scattered. The only things that remain are the deep understandings of the martial arts. So, your little girl can keep her soul, and she can seize the chance to thrive directly."

Shi Yan was stunned, but now he could relax his tense nerves.

"All experts of the Pure Land are protecting her as if she's their most precious treasure. All cultivating resources in that sect are available for her. As long as she can absorb the pellets, which could increase her Essence Qi, they will give them all to her. They need her to progress to the highest realm within the shortest time."

Li Zheng Rong sighed then shook his head. "That little girl's so lucky that I have no words to comment. When Jin Chuang came here, she was at the Second Sky of Sky Realm. It's been one year, and with the Pure Land's resources, I think they have some other alchemists to refine the Levitating Immortal Pellet for her. I think she should be in the Spirit Realm now. With the sufficient supply of pellets to increase her Essence Qi and the advantage of having no obstacles hinder her way, she will progress significantly daily."

Shi Yan was frightened.

He had assumed that his cultivating speed was the extreme one in this world, but now Li Zheng Rong had told him that Xia Xin Yan's progress was much faster than his.

He and Xia Xin Yan were two extreme beings indeed.

On his cultivating path, he didn't need to worry about the supply of Essence Qi. He just needed the Essence Qi of the dead warriors after slaughtering them to be purified by his mysterious martial spirit, his Essence Qi would increase unceasingly. His Essence Qi was always ahead of his realm.

Xia Xin Yan's case was different. She didn't need to worry about her realm. What she had to care was to make sure that her Essence Qi could match up with her realm, which would help her break through constantly, without having the bottleneck like other warriors. Her way would be straight and smooth.

One wouldn't need to worry about the amount of Essence Qi and the other wouldn't be bothered with the Realm. The cultivating path of these two was marvelous indeed.

"You don't need to worry about her. To her, staying in the Pure Land only benefits her. No harm at all. All experts of the Pure Land treat her as the most precious treasure of theirs. She's the Queen on the Pure Land's chessboard now. If she continues to thrive this way, one day, she will become the Paragon of the Pure Land, and the future master of the Divine Great Land. She will reach the God King Realm at that time. I think it won' t take more than fifty years later," Li Zheng Rong admired.

YL was stunned. "Fifty years… She needs only fifty years…?"

"The Pure Land is constantly collecting the pellets to increaser her cultivation base. She doesn't need to worry about that, just take the chance and take them in. Well, that little girl's a little monster," Li Zheng Rong shook his head, his face longing.

"Shi Yan, your pressure is huge." Lin Ya Qi was stunned for a long while before she spoke up again. "That woman will become the peerless expert of the whole continent. As her good friend, have you prepared yourself well? Will you feel small? Will you feel that you don't deserve her? It's normal, I guess. There's no one in the Divine Great Land can be paired with her. Tsk, hold your emotion and go with the flow."

Shi Yan felt big pressure, indeed. But he was both happy and anxious at the same time.

He had never thought that Xia Xin Yan could have a sudden opportunity. When he had first entered the Endless Sea, he had told her firmly that he would surpass her soon to be with her officially.

Well, from the current situation, this process would be lengthened to infinity. It was uncertain whether he could achieve his dream in this life or not.

Li Zheng Rong and Lin Ya Qi didn't talk more, looking at him with sympathy in their eyes.

In fact, they all knew the relationship between Shi Yan and Xia Xin Yan. To men, when their women, the ones they had their hearts and souls fallen for, had reached the sky with a single bounce and became the strongest warrior, they would have to face a huge pressure. If his will weren't firm enough, he would find it hard to continue to break through due to this kind of pressure.

Shi Yan's eyes lit up. He pondered for a while then asked, "Can I meet her in the Pure Land?"

"They will not allow it," Li Zheng Rong shook his head, "This period is the critical time for her to grow up. The Pure Land won't allow anyone to disturb her. I suggest that you shouldn't meet her at this time. On the one hand, it will increase your pressure. On the other hand, it can affect her spirit and soul, too. No matter it's for you or for her, it's better not to meet up at this time."

Shi Yan felt lost. He sighed, unable to cry or smile.

It was a big pressure indeed.

"Master, the dead souls often cooperate these days. I've met a lot of them in the region. They are so many. Do you think they have a leader now?" Lin Ya Qi was kind enough to change the topic, as she was afraid that Shi Yan would feel hurt more.

"They often cooperate?" Li Zheng Rong's small eyes flashed. "How often?"

"Ah, yeah. When I came here, I found a cave where many dead souls gathered. There should be hundreds of them. I'm sure there's a high-level dead soul behind the scene."

Shi Yan walked out of his loss feeing and intervened them.

"Hundreds of dead souls!" Li Zheng Rong's visage changed. "So many of them there like that?"

"Yeah, in a cave. The dead souls stick on the walls were as dense as spider webs. Deep inside the cave lied a chunk of meat. It was dark green too. Its roots pierced into the dead bodies of so many warriors. I think it was sucking the nutrition from those bodies. It looked so strange," explained Shi Yan.

Li Zheng Rong shot up from his seat. It was the first time he wore a frightened countenance. "You saw a dark green block of meat? It was sucking the nutrition from the warriors' bodies? Are you sure?"

"Of course, I'm sure."

"Not good!" Li Zheng Rong was panicked. His face changed. "Big problem!"

"What's happened?"

"Where did you find them?"

"Under the shade of a mountain."

"Go! Take me there! Immediately!"

"Why you are so hurried?"

"We can't waste even a second!"

Li Zheng Rong shouted then assigned Lin Ya Qi. "You shouldn't stay here. Go to the Spirit Potion Valley and report what Shi Yan had said to the people of the Spirit Hall. Ask them to notify the other Elders."

"What's wrong?"

"Don't ask too much. Do what I said first."

Li Zheng Rong acted as if he had a fire burning his butt. He talked to Shi Yan urgently. "Take me there. We'll go immediately! I'm not sure if we can seize the chance."

Shi Yan felt suspicious. He didn't know what was going on, but from Li Zheng Rong's complexion, he knew something terrible was about to happen.

At this moment, he was more determined, and didn't say any extra words. He nodded to Li Zheng Rong and flew out of the Flying Cloud Summit at the max speed, heading towards the cave where the dead souls had gathered.

Chapter 539: Great changes are approaching

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

As soon as Li Zheng Rong left the Flying Cloud Summit, he couldn't wait and grabbed Shi Yan, then shot out at a speed as fast as the light of the galaxy streamer. It was a bit rough to Shi Yan, making his breathing quite difficult.

At this moment, Shi Yan knew that Li Zheng Rong had lied to him the whole time, saying that his body was too fat to move conveniently. Although Li Zheng Rong hadn't broken through to the True God Realm, once he ran at max speed, he was like a meteor chasing after the moon, extremely fast.

He and Cherry had spent three and a half days to reach the Flying Cloud Summit from the dead souls' cave without a rest stop along the way. However, it took Li Zheng Rong only two hours in bringing him to the target place, the cave where the dead souls gathered, under his navigation.

Right when the fat Li Zheng Rong arrived, he took out an emerald armor, which looked like a stream of water flowing around his outfit. Green waves were rippling on it. This was a Sacred Level secret treasure with water attribute.

After he got into the cave under the shade of the mountain, Li Zheng Rong's small eyes got colder. His face darkened as he said glumly. "We're late."

The cave was empty. No dead souls remained, neither did a single blade of grass. The green dot that looked sinister and gloomy on the wall were all gone too. Only the cold, strange aura stayed.

"It's been just three days," Shi Yan walked to the deepest area of the cave, searching carefully. He pointed at a concave area. "I saw the green meat block here. I'm sure that I wasn't hallucinating!"

Li Zheng Rong didn't doubt him as he nodded, "I trust you."

His brows furrowed tightly, revealing a seriousness he had never revealed before. He walked back and forth inside the cave many times. His small eyes were as bright as two dazzling diamonds in this gloomy cave.

Afterward, Li Zheng Rong exhaled begrudgingly. "Big troubles."

"What has happened?" Shi Yan didn't understand.

"There must be a big change in those dead souls."

Li Zheng Rong turned around, contemplated for a while, and then explained, "Forty years ago, a formidable dead soul had appeared in the dead souls' evil lairs. We had joined hands with the Pure Land, the Devil Valley, and the Radiant God Cult to kill that dead soul. In that battle, many Spirit Realm experts from the Pure Land, the Devil Valley, and the Radiant God Cult died. Their souls were dragged into the dead soul's evil lairs. A warrior of the Devil Valley, thanks to his bizarre soul technique, could endure for a short while in the evil lair. Before he lost his mind, he reminded us not to let the dead soul give birth to an entity at any cost. At his last moment before turning into a dead soul, he said that the dead souls have some secret method that uses the warriors' dead bodies to nurture their entity. Once a high-level dead soul could have a body, its power would increase tremendously. And, its cultivation base would be enhanced several times stronger."

Shi Yan discolored.

"The Sky Realm warriors can't deal with the typical dead souls. A relatively high-level dead soul can toy the Spirit Realm experts in its hands. Regarding this max-level dead soul, only the True God Realm warriors can save their souls from the erosive power. If you want to destroy it, you have to use the secret treasures with the lightning attribute. When the max-level dead souls have a body, they will be complete. At that time, they won't need to depend on the dead souls' evil lair anymore. They can leave the evil lair and it will be a big catastrophe of the Dead Soul Mountain range. This can even spread to the Divine Great Land!"

Li Zheng Rong was anxious and kept sighing.

Shi Yan kept silent, not saying a word.

"I have to contact the experts in the mountain range shortly and notify the Elders of the Pure Land, the Radiant God Cult, and the Devil Valley. Before that dead soul completes its body, we should destroy the chunk of meat that could become its body. We can't linger even a second!"

Li Zheng Rong pondered and then suggested, "You should leave the Dead Soul Mountain range as soon as possible. I think it would be very dangerous in the coming time. The dead souls know what that body means to them, so they will protect it with all of their abilities. The Dead Soul Mountain range will have a big battle, in which I don't know how many would die. Sigh, too bad I haven't entered the True God Realm yet. I still need one more year. This event has happened before time."

"I got it," Shi Yan replied naturally.

"Yeah, at first, you can go to the Spirit Potion Valley or the Precious Tool Valley. But you shouldn't stay there for long." Li Zheng Rong was worried as if he had a flame burning his heart, and didn't dilly dally. "I should prepare immediately. About that little girl, you shouldn't be hurried. It's useless to be anxious, too. I think you can wait for the right time. Even if you don't find her, she will come to you. You two still have time to meet."

Then, Li Zheng Rong left quickly. It seemed he wanted to check the caves around the area to see if he could find the gathering point of the dead souls.

The Dead Soul Mountain range had almost one thousand mountains, situated in a vast area. Not all the dead souls were stupid. When they knew they should hide their auras, they would be more careful. Shi Yan thought his search would be negative, and that he couldn't find the new gathering spot of the dead soul in just a short time.

After Li Zheng Rong left, Shi Yan didn't linger. He pondered, then decided to return to the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley. He could ask for more details and traces there to keep track of this strange event.

Three days later, he came back to the Spirit Potion Valley, but didn't go to the Spirit Hall right away. He made a tour around the Spirit Potion Valley and then headed to the Precious Tool Valley.

The Precious Tool Valley and the Spirit Potion Valley were neighbors. There were shops that sold the materials for forging treasure around the place. People in the Precious Tool Valley were all blacksmiths.

In the Precious Tool Valley, they also had the same structure as the Spirit Hall, which was called the Tool Hall, managed by some Sacred Level blacksmiths of the Dead Soul Mountain range. After he arrived the Precious Tool Valley, he visited each store to find some strange spirit crystals.

"Little buddy, you've been wandering half a day already but you haven't bought anything yet. You don't like anything in my store?" In a ware shop named Universe, the owner was a Third Sky of Nirvana Realm warrior with messy hair, a red nose, and opaque, squinted eyes just like he was still sleepy-headed. The owner had looked at Shi Yan for half a day. Eventually, he couldn't help but ask him.

"Hey shopkeeper, are there any blacksmiths in the Precious Tool Valley who know how to use the magical formation?" Shi Yan leaned against a shelf, smiled and asked him.

"What's that formation?" asked the owner.

"Teleporting type"

The shop owner was astounded. Afterward, he smiled oddly and said. "Friend, have you just arrived the Dead Soul Mountain range?"

"Yes."

"The blacksmiths who could build the teleporting formation are really amazing! In the Dead Soul Mountain range, there're several who know how to make this formation. If you want to find them, go to the Tool Hall. I think the elders should know something about it. Anyway, it cost a fortune to build the teleportation formation. First, you will need the Nether crystal. I hear that the Nether crystals exist only in some space cracks. They are so rare. Really tough to find."

Shi Yan was startled.

That year when he had entered the Chasm Abyss Battlefield through the Teleport formation, he had seen the scenes changing unceasingly. That Ancient Teleportation Array had left a deep impression on him. In the Endless Sea, the Three God Sect and the Yang family also had a small-scaled teleportation formation. Although the distance was limited, Shi Yan knew how important it was to a strong force.

He wanted to build a big teleportation formation that could connect the Ice Emperor City and possibly, forming the connection with the Endless Sea in the future. That's why he wanted to find an excellent blacksmith to buy a Teleportation formation.

From the shopkeeper's explanation, he got to know that the blacksmiths who could build the array were rare.

He bid farewell to the shop owner and then spent another two days in the Precious Tool Valley to ask for the information from other blacksmiths. But he couldn't find anyone who knew the method to build the formation.

All the blacksmiths he had asked told him that only the Elders of the Tool Hall knew how to build the Teleportation Formation. When he told him that the formation he wanted to build should be able to teleport through the sea, the blacksmiths looked at him as if they were looking at a monster.

They then told him clearly that even the Elders of the Tool Hall could only build small-scaled formations, which could transport to ten thousand li at max. Beyond this distance, it would be quite tough.

Shi Yan was totally disappointed.

He then borrowed a small gravitational room in the Tool Hall to train his body, trying to drain the mysterious energy in his muscles in the forty times heavier gravity room. He hoped that he could maximize his bearing capacity.

Time flew fast, as ten days passed like a blink of an eye.

He had exhausted himself in the gravitational room. Thoughts flickered in his head as he recalled the experience in blacksmithing of the blacksmith from the Ice Cold Flame's memories.

The related secrets of refining treasures were moving in his head like three-dimension pictures.

After searching for half a day, he still couldn't find any memories related to the Teleportation Formation. He felt dispirited as he opened his eyes wider while sinking into his thought.

Blacksmith's Secrets of Success!

After a while, Shi Yan's eyes brightened. He shot up from his seat.

He suddenly recalled the ancient book he had gotten from the mysterious exotic land – the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success. That mysterious land had so many rare treasures. In the center of the two galaxies, he got that book, which had some seal he couldn't open.

It seemed the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success was really old and mysterious. Perhaps, it would have the method to build the ancient transmission formation.

The ancient teleport formation was a big-sized one, as it could transport things over a big distance. If he had the method to build the formation, he would gather the materials and do it himself.

His mind flickered and the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success flew out from the Storage Ring, floating in front of him. The four big words written in ancient calligraphy on the cover sparkled.

He reached out his left hand and gently put it on the Blacksmith's Secret of Success. A vehement shiver rippled from the book, creating a strong force that pushed his hand aside.

He then urged his Soul Consciousness. However, he was pushed back by a soul energy before he could reach the book. It repeated several times and he still didn't know how to access the book.

"You can't access this thing simply. This book comes from the Antiquity Era. You need to use the Soul Dividing technique, which also comes from the Antiquity time, to open the book."

Chapter 540: Soul Dividing

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Soul Dividing Technique…

It was a secret technique of the experts in the antiquity time. This technique would divide the host soul into parts. When they forged the puppet, they would put a part of their host soul into it. This would make the puppet have the soul and memory imprints of the owner, which would help it to perform as marvelously as its master.

The secret weapons of a great blacksmith or a warrior required a part of the soul pouring in to be opened.

As long as he had his soul enter the tools and the books, he could officially control the tools and read the books. It wasn't hard to learn how to divide the host soul. However, most of the techniques were lost. Only some members of the old factions knew how to do that.

The Ice Cold Flame showed itself and then lectured Shi Yan about the subtle features of the Soul Dividing technique, then continued, "This book should come from the Antiquity Era too. If you want to access it, you have to divide your soul and put your part into the book. Otherwise, you can't see the miraculous contents inside."

Shi Yan was surprised. He pondered, then smiled. "Do you know the Soul Dividing Technique?"

"A little bit."

"Tell me."

"Well, I just know the surface of the technique, which can't help you refine a clone. But to open this old book, it's not too difficult."

"Then don't babble more."

"Alright."

The Ice Cold Flame regarded him. It thought for a while, then connected its soul to Shi Yan's. Then, the flame found the secret techniques related to the Soul Dividing method, turning them into the memory fluctuations and transmitting them into Shi Yan's head.

To practice the Soul Dividing technique, at first, he needed to train his host soul, making it disappear and then reorganize.

During the time the host soul got mutated, he would use a special method to draw a beam of the soul. That beam then would be nurtured in the Sea of Consciousness, using the power of the Soul Consciousness to keep it warm. After a while, it would grow into a feeble hollow soul.

The hollow soul wasn't the host soul, as it was just a projection of the latter. So, it didn't have the attainments of the host soul. When the hollow soul was destroyed, it didn't affect the host soul. However, it had a connection with the host soul. No matter how far the hollow soul was, the host soul would always know its position and everything it had experienced.

There were some other ways to strengthen the hollow soul. For example, he could collect the murderous aura, the Yin Qi, or other bizarre energy in heaven and earth.

If the hollow soul could grow nonstop to a certain level, when it stayed in the puppet or the clone, it could urge the power of the host soul. When the hollow soul reached the highest level, it could even replace the host soul.

The Ice Cold Flame knew how to divide the soul and train the hollow soul. However, its knowledge in cultivating the hollow soul wasn't enough to practice.

To Shi Yan, at this moment, he just needed to create the hollow soul.

He didn't hurry, using the method to start to cultivate his host soul step by step. Firstly, he would nurture his soul with the nutrients from the Soul Consciousness, which would promote the change of the host soul. When his host soul was strong enough, he could divide it.

In the gravitational room, he stopped training his body and started to sink into the cultivation of dividing his soul.The Spirit Potion Valley…

Recently, many experts from the Pure Land, the Radiant God Cult, the Devil Valley showed up in the area. They were rushing with gloomy faces.

In the Precious Potion Valley, some famous alchemists of the Divine Great Land were affected. They often walked back and forth in the valley. Sometimes, they sighed begrudgingly.

Although many low-level warriors in the Dead Soul Mountain range didn't know what was happening, they vaguely felt the danger like a breeze before a big storm.

People who knew the secret told their disciples and friends silently. Some warriors who had regularly visited the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley left the area without leaving any trace. They didn't dare to stay in the Dead Soul Mountain range for any longer.

For the time being, while so many low-level warriors left the Spirit Potion Valley, many big characters whom they had rarely seen in daily life came to the place.

More and more people recognized that the Dead Soul Mountain range was about to face a big event.

Inside the Spirit Hall, five people, including Li Zhang Rong, Zhang Mu, Kun Xi, Gai Jie, and Mike, all wore a glum countenance. As the five Sacred Level alchemists behind the Spirit Hall, among them, Li Zhang Rong was the focus of the public attention. He was the person who had the real power of the Dead Soul Mountain range. All alchemists had to admire and bow to him.

"Old Li, still nothing?" Zhang Mu turned the ring on his finger, staring at the other agitatedly.

It had been half a month. Many experts had search and raked through all the areas which had the dead souls' evil lairs in the Dead Soul Mountain range. They were trying to find the gathering spot of the dead souls and destroy that chunk of meat before it gave birth to the body of the dead soul.

However, half a month had passed, but the dead souls which often appeared everywhere in the mountain range seemed to have all disappeared.

Seeing time flying fast and the entire community of the dead souls secluding, Zhang Mu's mood became worse.

During the battle dozens of years ago, Zhang Mu was still a Profound Level alchemist. In that battle, his teacher was killed in the hands of an intimidating dead soul. His soul was dragged out, drawn into an evil lair, and then disappeared.

That year, Zhang Mu had had only the Sky Realm cultivation base. He had no choice but to stare at the scene where his teacher's soul was drawn out.

That battle had left a deep shadow in his heart. Until now, every time he recalled that battle, he felt fear inside. He had a deep grudge against the dead souls, and always wanted to kill all the dead souls in the Dead Soul Mountain range.

"All have disappeared. I think the dead souls have gained experience. Certainly, there's a strong dead soul behind them. Otherwise, the situation would be totally different." Li Zhang Rong's body had a lot of fat. When he talked, even the fat on his cheeks trembled. "The Tool Hall is working on it too. I guess they have no findings either. Or else, they would have already told us."

"Seems the big change's coming." Kun Xi was as thin as a stick, his face sinister and vicious. Sharp light sparked in his eyes. "Don't know how many people would die this time. You guys, we're sitting here now, but we're not sure who could survive."

After he talked, everybody became more grimaced.

"You should seize the chance and impart your inheritance as soon as possible." Li Zhang Rong's squinted eyes raked through the room. "The Dead Soul Mountain range's the place we have been invested with much effort. We will never abandon it. The situation this time will be different from last time. If those dead souls can nurture a real body, this will be a catastrophe. Even if we leave the Dead Soul Mountain range, we won't be able to escape it."

The other four nodded with a cold face.

All of them knew the secret from dozens of years ago. They knew that the dead souls were dangerous. Once they gained a body, the power could rocket. At that time, the dead souls won't be dependent on the dead souls' evil lairs anymore. They could leave the Dead Soul Mountain range and go to the Divine Great Land.

The lowest level dead souls had the ability to take the soul of the warriors easily. It was more like a piece of cake to the higher-level dead souls.

Once those dangerous dead souls could leave the Dead Soul Mountain range and come to the Divine Great Land, the warriors who didn't know about them beforehand wouldn't be able to resist. Their souls would be taken one after another, and they would become the new dead souls. At that time, the heaven and earth would have a big transformation. The dead souls would replace warriors and pollute this rich land, turning it into the world of dead souls.

Thinking about the possible future, the five of them shivered without feeling cold.

"I've notified the leaders of the Pure Land, the Devil Valley, and the Radiant God Cult. Once the dead soul's real body appears, the leaders of these three forces will come to the Dead Soul Mountain range," said Li Zhang Rong with a low voice.

The four of them relaxed a little bit. Kun Xi hesitated, and couldn't help but ask, "Old Li, where's the boy who found this mess? And, how is he related to you? Weren't you cultivating in seclusion? Why did you agree to meet him?"

"How can I know where he is?" Li Zhang Rong snorted and continued impatiently. "He has a connection with me."

Kun Xi and the others were astounded. They wanted to ask for more, but as they saw his winced face, they couldn't inquire further, shutting their mouths begrudgingly.Outside the Spirit Hall, Lin Ya Qi was toying the potted flowers with her arrogant complexion. She asked coldly, "Shi Yan didn't come for you?"

"No. After I came back from the Flying Cloud Summit, I have never met him again." Cherry always lacked confidence facing her, as she felt that she was one grade lower than the other girl. "Perhaps he has left the Dead Soul Mountain range. Since they know a big disaster will come soon, anyone who can run has already run away. The ones who haven't moved yet are ready to move."

Since Cherry knew the mutated dead souls would become more wild and sinister, she was afraid and wanted to leave too.

Unfortunately, she was the hall guard of the Spirit Hall. Without the permission granted by one of the five of Li Zhang Rong's group, no one was allowed to leave the Spirit Hall when the dead souls appeared. Once they were busted, their names would be erased from the Spirit Hall forever.

Being an alchemist, it was okay not to join the Spirit Hall. But when the Spirit Hall erased one's name, his or her reputation was gone too. The community would scoff him as the worst among the alchemists.

"If he comes to see you, you must notify me. I have something I want to discuss with him." Lin Ya Qi arched her brow. "To make it up for you, about the formation you've seen in my place, if you have something you want I ask, I can help."

Cherry's blue eyes brightened as she nodded continually.Gravitational chamber...

Shi Yan sat emotionlessly just like a rock that hadn't moved for ten thousand years, still and quiet.

During half a month in this gravitational room, he had been sinking into his mind, wholeheartedly focusing on training the hollow soul, and didn't relax for even a second.

Just recently, with the Soul Dividing technique the Ice Cold Flame passed him in a blurry state, he had successfully divided his soul, drawn out a strand of soul and created a phantom of his host soul in the Sea of Consciousness – the hollow soul.

Right when the hollow soul appeared, he immediately urged the Soul Consciousness to keep the hollow soul warm.

That vague hollow soul was like a projection. After it received the Soul Consciousness, it turned into another image of the host soul in the Sea of Consciousness. However, it didn't have the intellect and the vitality of the real host soul.

More Soul Consciousness was poured into the hollow soul. After an unknown time, the hollow soul became clearer. Besides the lack of vitality, it looked similar to the host soul.

At this moment, the Ice Cold flame sent him a message. "It's enough. You can access the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success now."

Shi Yan was struck. He started to guide the hollow soul, dragging it little by little out of the Sea of Consciousness.

The spooky phantom was as vague as a ghost, with thick Yin aura slowly appearing in front of his eyes. When the hollow soul got out of the Sea of Consciousness, it became fragile as if it were about to vanish.

"The hollow soul can't be exposed for a long time. Guide it to the ancient book immediately. Or else, the hollow soul will vanish." The Ice Cold Flame reminded Shi Yan.

Shi Yan's face changed. He didn't dare to observe more, took out the book of secrets and began his move.

Chapter 541: Waste more effort

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

The hollow soul appeared as a thin gray smoke, floating and flying towards the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success. It then disappeared silently, like a drop of water falling into the sea.

Boom!

He felt a rumbling tremor in his brain, after which, a wonderful feeling flooded his Sea of Consciousness.

His Sea of Consciousness was as if it had a big crack, from where flows of Soul Consciousness streamed through, getting into the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success and pouring directly into the hollow soul.

A link was formed between the host soul and the hollow soul. The host soul was still submerged in the Sea of Consciousness, but it got all the things the hollow soul was watching.

The hollow soul was floating in an immense area. There was a light road like an ecliptic soaring to a distant place.

With the vision of the hollow soul, he found himself in a strange new world. That marvelous ecliptic was like the heaven staircase, leading to a faraway, mysterious place.

Bright lights sparkled along the road. In the white void, big seals were tumbling like clusters of clouds. Strange, miraculous lights crossed each other, carving the ancient magical formations on those seals.

Refining medicine and weapons were similar. The experts should understand the strange and mysterious formations. As long as they had a deep understanding of drawing those formations, they could improve their attainment in refining.

Ancient formations along the ecliptic were shining dazzlingly. They were the explanation of the most important secrets of tool refining. Each of them was moving lively, as they were transferring the truth of heaven and earth. The meanings they were conveying were surreptitious, including types of power.

Clusters of refining formations were spinning along the ecliptic road. All of them were explicit and radiant like the meteors. They kept changing, and didn't have a determined nature.

The hollow soul stood at the beginning of the ecliptic. It didn't have any strange moves, and was absorbing the Soul Consciousness in his Sea of Consciousness really quickly.

Within the short period of three breaths, flows of Soul Consciousness in his Sea of Consciousness were sucked out by one-tenth, and the consumption speed was still increasing!

Shi Yan was scared.

He gathered all of his soul, spirit, and Qi, quieting down his mind and letting aside the impure thoughts. He concentrated on the magical, mysterious formations on the sides of the light road. Each formation was a method to refine weapons. They were in many complicated shapes. They varied strangely, which was hard to learn in just a short time.

Burn to separate water formation, the Grand Soul Gathering Formation, Original Universe Life formation, Three-soul Defense Formation…

Names of the formations crossed his head fast, and gave him a shallow understanding. Each formation was mysteriously unpredictable. At first glance, he thought they were so marvelous that he couldn't comprehend them in short time.

Once those ancient formations were carved on the treasures, it would rocket the power of the weapons, giving them the special abilities or subtle powers. As long as he could gain the truth of those formations and use them fluently, a blacksmith only needed one of those formations to earn a great living.

Each formation was vastly obscure, and he couldn't obtain in a short time. Many of those had been lost for thousands of years.

Some names of the formations had been listed in the ancient books of the Blacksmiths. They had only a name, without any particular details.

However, in this wonderful space, these formations were changed, following the subtle changes of the heaven and earth. To comprehend the true meanings of the formation, the blacksmith needed to reach a certain realm. If he were careful and detailed to study them, he could have a good grasp of the real magical features of the formation.

Refining weapons wasn't Shi Yan's life goal.

Shi Yan delayed at the beginning of the ecliptic for a while. Then, his hollow soul turned into an incomplete silhouette, moving swiftly.

Teleportation Formation! Teleportation Formation!

He repeated the name in his head. The hollow soul didn't stop, continually moving on the light road. If it found that the formations around weren't the Teleportation Formation, it would retreat immediately and continue walking forward.

At the same time, his Soul Consciousness was flooding over like a broken dike with amazing speed.

While his soul was muddy, his hollow soul had a glimpse of a formation that looked like a cluster along the ecliptic. The drawings of that formation were clear, expanding like a spider web in the void. Beams of silver light interweaved. At each intersection, words written in ancient calligraphy flashed from time to time.

Ethereal Crystal, Fine Earth Stone, Golden Gong Bead…

Rare ores float under the light intersections of the formation. They flashed, and then disappeared. On the cloud, rows of characters were arranged neatly, sparkling in a dark golden hue, and twinkling like stars. They decided the way to portray the mysteries of this formation.

Teleportation Formation!

He wanted to check it out carefully, but he suddenly felt dizzy. His Sea of Consciousness trembled.

Thud!

The Blacksmith's Secrets of Success dropped on the floor.

Shi Yan woke up from his neat sitting position on the ground, sweat beading his face. He looked ashen and exhausted.

His Soul Consciousness was consumed too much!

The room was dark, but Shi Yan's pupils were shining with a divine light. He panted, but he was smiling brightly.

Time wouldn't fail people who had high aspirations. The Blacksmith's Secrets of Success did have the Teleportation Formation! Not just a description, but a whole direct observation of the method!

As long as he could understand the revolution maze of the formation and collect enough the tools and materials, even if building the Teleportation Formation was complicated, it wouldn't be too troublesome.

However, the over-consumed Soul Consciousness was beyond his estimation.

He had never thought that reading an ancient book, which had the weapon refining methods, could use up his Soul Consciousness that fast.

At this moment, his Sea of Consciousness was empty. The area was reduced, no bigger than one-fourth of his previous area. The Sea of Consciousness seemed to have dried up. The host soul and the dormant Five Devils also looked dispirited.

Both the host soul and the Five Devils depended on the Sea of Consciousness to live and cultivate.

If the Sea of Consciousness were large, the host soul and the Five Devils would grow fast. If the Sea of consciousness was narrow, the space the host soul and the Five Devils had for their cultivation would reduce, which would limit their growth.

If his Sea of Consciousness went arid one day, the host soul and the Five Devils would bear the brunt, immediately being suffocated. To the host soul and the Five Devils, the Sea of Consciousness was the fountain of their beings. Without this origin of life, they couldn't survive for a long time.

He felt dizzy while he was about to check out the miraculous features of the Teleport Formation. It was the sign of a dried Sea of Consciousness. As his host soul could feel the situation was wrong, it immediately cut the connection with the hollow soul, firmly dragging him out of that wonderful scene.

Shi Yan sat still on the ground. His was mentally and physically exhausted, but his eyes were bright.

As he had found the Teleportation Formation, when his Sea of Consciousness restored, he could save strength and time to find it next time. Although he had taken risks this time, his harvest wasn't bad.

But, he needed to recover his Soul Consciousness first. With that thought, he sat still, adjusted his breath and fell asleep.

The typical way to supplement the consumed Profound Qi was to condense the Qi of the heaven and earth. However, to recover the Soul Consciousness, besides the precious pellets that people drooled for, the simplest method was to sleep and relax.

One day and one night passed as fast as a blink of an eye.

Shi Yan woke up worried. He sensed his Sea of Consciousness, then shook his head miserably.

Sleeping was a simple way to supplement the Soul Consciousness. However, since it was too simple, its effect was the smallest. After sleeping for one day and one night, his Soul Consciousness had restored so little that he wanted to cry.

The process of sensing the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success had consumed 70% of his Sea of Consciousness!

This sleep helped his Soul Consciousness recover, but not even 5%.

Anyway, he couldn't sleep all the time. After one day and one night, he was sober, and to put himself to sleep again was impossible. Shi Yan calculated that if he used sleep to restore his Soul Consciousness, with this speed, he would need one month to fully recover.

One month!

Shi Yan got a headache.

It was just the first time he had read the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success as the information was flowing swiftly in his head. After his Soul Consciousness restored, he didn't know how many times he had to drain his Sea of Consciousness to perceive the subtle features of the Teleportation Formation.

In this wonderful world, the consumption speed of Soul Consciousness could be considered terrifying!

To comprehend the Upanishad of the Teleportation Formation, he needed to visit that world more often to digest the details slowly.

With this speed of consumption, his full Soul Consciousness was just enough to endure one hour.

What he could do in one hour?

If it needed one month after one time of observing the formation, how much time did he have to spend to gain the subtle features of the Teleportation formation?

No, he had to find another method!

Shi Yan stood up and went out of the room. Looking at the Spirit Potion Valley afar from him, he saw many alchemists hurrying back and forth with worried faces.

Alchemists!

His mind was moved, and his eyes brightened. He couldn't help but smile.

Where was he? The Dead Soul Mountain range!

Things that were abundant here were alchemists and their pellets. It would be hard to find the pellet to restore his Soul Consciousness somewhere else. But in the Spirit Potion Valley, he should be able to find some, right?

He was moved, so he immediately gave up the idea of sleeping to recover his Soul Consciousness. Then, he strolled towards the Spirit Potion Valley.

A strand of his Soul Consciousness caressed the Storage Ring, swiftly touching each of the sparkling crystals and tools. He was considering what he should use to exchange for the pellets to recover his Soul Consciousness.

The Yang family was filthy rich. After that battle in the Endless Sea, the cultivating materials and crystals he collected from other forces were too many. When he left, his Storage Ring was packed.

There were three thousand top grade Essence Qi crystals, fifteen thousand high-grade Essence Qi crystals, and the other materials piled up like small mountains. Even if he was in the Divine Great Land, he was still a young rich man. Only the most outstanding disciples of the seven factions could be able to compare to him in terms of wealth.

He didn't need to worry about the Essence Qi crystals.

After Shi Yan left the Precious Tool Valley, he was surprised, and his face changed a little bit.

He could sense that there were at least seven Spirit Realm experts in the Spirit Potion Valley. Also, there were strong aura that were hiding, just like the firm, grand mountains. Their energy fluctuations were heavy, but they were concealed. However, Shi Yan still could still sense them.

So many strong warriors!

It had been half a month. What had happened to the Precious Tool Valley and the Spirit Potion Valley? Why were there so many strong warriors gathering here?

Dead souls!

Recalling the grimaced face of the elder before, Shi Yan seemed to get the problem.

The danger of the dead soul should have been spreading out, which gathered the warriors living around the Dead Soul Mountain range in the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley.

In the two valleys, besides the aura of the Spirit Realm experts, many cold-faced warriors were walking on the streets.

It wasn't an exception. Those warriors had followed the path of cultivating their powers. They were masters in bloody fighting, but they weren't alchemists or blacksmiths.

Whenever the dead souls had some great changes, precious treasures would fly out from the dead souls' evil lairs. Many of them were the top grade ones in the Divine Great Land. The oncoming catastrophe from the dead souls made some chicken warriors leave, but it attracted some with big guts too.

People died for money, and the birds died in pursuit of food. As long as they could earn some benefits, to the warriors, there was no dangerous place they couldn't enter.

They all knew that the Dead Soul Mountain range would be a dreadful place. Thus, many of them still came for the greed of treasures. Of course, the ones who dared to come here weren't nice. They looked vicious and had a murderous aura. Shi Yan couldn't help but stare at them.

I should go to find the pellets to restore my Soul Consciousness first.

Shi Yan thought and sped up, walking straight to the Spirit Potion Valley.

Chapter 542: Evil wind turbulence

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

"What? No? Not even a single pellet?"

Shi Yan clenched his jaw in a shop, his face angry. "You guys don't even have the pellet to restore the Soul Consciousness, what the heck are you selling? Doesn't this store sell pellets?"

"I'm sorry, Sir. Besides that type of pellet and medicines, we have everything else. For example, we have the pellets to restore Essence Qi, strengthen your physique, stable your realm to prevent bedevilment, etc. We have plenty of them here. You can choose anything you want. We can always deal the price." The shopkeeper smiled humbly, bowing his body.

Shi Yan wore a cold face, then left while snorting.

Fifteen minutes later…

Standing in the middle of a crowded street in the Spirit Potion Valley, Shi Yan felt dispirited.

He had visited ten stores, and none of them was an exception. They didn't have even a single pellet that could do something with Soul Consciousness.

The threat from the dead souls had been spread out all over the Dead Soul Mountain range. The first thing the warriors did when they came here was to buy the pellets and medicine that could help restore and strengthen their Soul Consciousness.

The dead souls could erode the soul, which depended on the Sea of Consciousness. If a warrior's Sea of Consciousness weren't stable, his soul would be weakened, and thus, the dead soul could easily attack him.

All warriors understood the nature of the dead souls as they knew how important it was to strengthen their Soul Consciousness. Within five or six days, all pellets that could help strengthen the Soul Consciousness in the Spirit Potion Valley, even if they had their price rocketed, were all sold out.

These sorts of pellet became scarce now. Alchemists who could refine them had stopped supplying to the shop. They wanted to keep the medicine for themselves.

All of a sudden, in this big Spirit Potion Valley, no store could supply this kind of a pellet or medicine. Even if they were willing to buy with a good price, the alchemists didn't want to sell.

The news regarding the dead souls had been spread out fast in the two valleys. The more they talked about it, the more dangerous it became. The powers of the dead souls were amplified continually by the news they were telling each other.

People felt insecure, and the alchemists and the blacksmiths didn't dare to leave the valleys. They were concentrating on refining pellets and forging weapons for themselves. They had to improve their willpower at any cost. At this moment, the pellets that could supplement the Soul Consciousness became the treasure to protect their lives. None of them agreed to sell even a single pellet.

The warriors came here for the dead souls had used a lot of money to collect the goods. Shortly, there was no stock in the entire Spirit Potion Valley.

Shi Yan had so many Essence Qi crystals to spend, but he couldn't find a supplier. He had a big regret now.

He was the first one who got to know the anomaly of the dead souls. If he had been smarter, he could have collected more medicines of this kind right when the news was still concealed.

Too late to regret. The feeling of having a lot of money but not being able to buy the goods he wanted agitated him.

Along the streets in the center of the valley, warriors were walking back and forth with gloomy faces. Their eyes were ferocious when looking at the others, just like a starving wolf, as if they considered all strangers their enemies.

The valley where people used to live in harmony and peace now was at daggers. The atmosphere was tense too.

Although Shi Yan had stomped his feet in regret, it was of no use. He gradually gathered himself together, and squinted his eyes with a cold look on his face. He was about to find one or two guys who didn't have a good vision to rob them.

He wasn't a good guy; his hands had been soaked in blood. Once he was determined, killing a man and destroying his body wasn't a thing to him.

As the goods were scarce and he could buy them from nowhere, if he wanted to have the pellets, the only way to do was to snatch the things he wanted.

He didn't have a mental barrier when stealing or snatching things from other people. Once he spotted the target, he wasn't afraid of killing in mass scale.

Most the warriors in the valley now weren't good guys. While killing these sorts of men, he wouldn't feel guilty.

When he was observing pedestrians with an evil look, a familiar figure appeared in his vision – Tie Mu.

Five people of Tie Mu's group hadn't left the Dead Soul Mountain range. They knew of the oncoming deadly event, but because of the three dead souls, they were still waiting for Cherry to compensate them.

Tie Mu saw Shi Yan standing at the corner and was terrified, keeping his mouth shut. He instinctively wanted to get rid of that young man.

At this moment, Shi Yan's face was thin and pallid. His look was cold and dark, while the corner of his mouth curled a little bit, just like a cold knife. He looked as savage as a beast waiting for its prey.

Other people didn't know Shi Yan, but Tie Mu had experienced it. As he saw Shi Yan's look, he wanted to run away as fast as possible.

"Come here!" Shi Yan snorted, then made a gesture with his finger. He sneered, "Where do you want to hide seeing me? Are you afraid that I'll eat you alive?"

Tie Mu was timid, his face long as if the other had asked him to kill a child. "Shi Yan-ge, we aren't going to ask you for the dead souls. What do you want?"

"Help me buy some pellet to restore the Soul Consciousness. I don't care about the price." Shi Yan searched his Storage Ring. Translucent top grade Essence Qi crystals emerged one by one in his palm. They were sparkling beautifully under the sun like precious gems.

"I don't have them," Tie Mu shook his head bitterly. "Really, I don't have them. When I arrived at the Spirit Potion Valley, they had stopped selling them. Anyway, Cherry told us that three days later, she would give us some pellets of this kind. We're waiting for her. That's why we haven't left yet."

"Cherry…"

Shi Yan was startled. He curled his lips into a smile. His figure faded, then disappeared in just a blink.

"That slaughtering star, sigh. I really thought that he wanted to eat humans. Those who are having bad luck getting this guy watching over them would never be able to leave the Dead Soul Mountain range. I don't know why I feel scared just by looking at him."

Tie Mu swept away the beads on his forehead and muttered, "He said that he forgave us because we're the members of the Gods Sect. Do you think he's a disciple of the Gods Sect, too?" assumed the young girl.

"If he were one of the Gods Sect's disciples, why would he stay anonymous?" Tie Mu objected. "I think he knows someone from our sect and his impression of our sect isn't bad. But it's certain that he isn't a member of the Gods Sect. With his realm at his age, as long as he's one of us, he'll be famous. It's impossible that no one knows him."

His friends thought, then nodded in agreement.Spirit Hall.

"Is Cherry here?" Shi Yan stopped a guard and asked him without manners.

"You are?" the guard was dizzy. He was bewildered for a while then replied to Shi Yan with respect. "I'll call her for you."

This guard had seen Shi Yan before. As he saw that Zha Lin was servile to him, he understood that Shi Yan wasn't a small character. He didn't linger, and hurled himself out of the hall.

Not long after that, Cherry arrived. She invited Shi Yan to get inside with a smiling face.

"Old Li's here, too…" Cherry took him to the corner, then lowered her tone. "The other four Elders are here too. Why haven't you left yet?"

"I heard that you have the pellets to recover the Soul Consciousness. Give me some. I'll pay you a good price." Shi Yan wasn't interested in Li Zheng Rong and his men, asking for the pellets directly.

Cherry was surprised. "Do you want to find the dead souls' evil lairs to test your fortune, too?"

"No. I need them for another purpose." Shi Yan shook his head. While he was talking, pieces of top-grade Essence Qi crystals had been put into a gold threaded gunnysack. Shortly, the gunnysack was filled with top grade Essence Qi crystals. There were hundreds of them at least. He directly threw the sack to Cherry and told her, "No matter what price you offer, I'll take them all."

Cherry was full of regret since she didn't know why he was so hurried. "Here, take these three bottles of the Soul Restoration Pellet. Each bottle has seventy pills."

"Thanks," Shi Yan smiled at her, didn't turn his head back and left immediately.

"Hey!" Cherry called out. But by the time her voice arose, she didn't see his shadow anywhere. "This b*stard, what's he doing? Why he's so hurried?"

Cherry stomped her feet. Looking at the sack of top-grade Essence Qi, she was surprised and happy at the same time.

Being a Hall guard, her salary for one year was just fifty top grade Essence Qi crystals. This gunnysack of Essence Qi was a huge fortune to her, as much as her wages of three or four years working at the Spirit Hall.

However, this wasn't what she wanted. She was suspicious, and she wanted to meet Shi Yan to make it clear. But Shi Yan disappeared instantly, and didn't even gave her his address.

"Cherry, who's that kid? Why did he give you so many Essence Qi crystals? Are you two…" A thin alchemist with a gloomy face had witnessed all the things. He approached her quietly and asked.

"None of your business!" Shi Yan snorted with his cold appearance. She didn't pay attention to that alchemist, taking her crystals and walking to the hall.

"What? He came?" In a quiet chamber behind the Spirit Hall, Lin Ya Qi jolted up. "Where's he?"

"Left. When I wanted to chase after him, I couldn't see him anywhere," explained Cherry.

Lin Ya Qi didn't look happy as she asked the other girl arrogantly. "What did that a*shole come for?"

"He wanted to buy the Soul Consciousness restoring pellets. I gave him…" Cherry narrated.

"Soul Consciousness restoring pellets?" Lin Ya Qi chuckled. She squinted her eyes and then said smilingly. "Seems he's interested in the dead souls' evil lairs too. Well, excellent! In several days, a young generation of experts from the Pure Land, the Radiant God Cult, and the Devil Valley will gather. I don't like some of them, but I'm not their match. That a*shole's here too, so I will ask him to teach them a lesson!"

Lin Ya Qi was thrilled.

Cherry kept her mouth shut, not daring to talk much.

The news of the young experts from the Pure Land, the Radiant God Cult, and the Devil Valley were about to arrive had been spread out all over the Dead Soul Mountain range.

Those people would come together with their full power. On the one hand, they wanted to kill the dead souls, and on the other, this was a good chance for them to practice their skills. Also, they had a secret hope of collecting strange treasures from the dead souls' evil lairs.

Young hotshots of these three ancient factions in the Divine Great Land always had keen eyesight. Their men were domineering, and the women were arrogant. Each of them had brutal deeds that made people fear them.

Although Cherry was an alchemist, her rank wasn't high enough. When she saw those people, she had to behave and not dare to quarrel with them.

Lin Ya Qi, as Li Zheng Rong's disciple, of course wasn't afraid. Anyway, her realm was relatively low, so she wasn't their opponent. In the past, whenever they had a dispute, she always bore a bit of a loss, which she still kept in her heart. However, she had no way to counter them.

But now she knew Shi Yan was here, she immediately wanted to use the relationship with Shi Yan to ask him to take revenge for her.

"The Precious Tool Valley and the Spirit Potion Valley are just that big. As long as he still stays in the valleys, I can always drag him out. Harrumph!"

Lin Ya Qi contemplated for a while. She squinted and smiled. Later on, she didn't tell Cherry but left the Spirit Hall alone, walking around the valley where evil wolves were playing.

Cherry waited for her to leave further, then hurried to find Zha Lin to report him that the girl had left.

After Shi Yan got the Soul Restoring Pellet, he stormed into the chamber he had rented and started to restore his consumed Soul Consciousness as fast as he could. He was preparing to probe the mystically subtle features of the Teleportation Formation once again.

Chapter 543: Calamity

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Mount Heaven Whistle…

Inside a gloomy cave in the center of the mountain, countless dark green dead souls hung on the walls, covering the entire surface. A pond of corpses situated in the middle of the cave where bodies piled up. Dark green blood was constantly oozing. Many blocks of meat were stuck into the corpse refining pond, sucking the nutrition from the dead bodies. They kept enlarging continually.

Dark green dead souls were floating around the pond, emitting their cold, evil aura as if they were guarding it.

Mount Heaven Whistle was a small and poor mountain among almost one thousand mountains of the Dead Soul Mountain range. The heaven and earth aura here was faint, and no warrior stayed on this mountain to cultivate. Inside some caves in Mount Heaven Whistle, green light columns as big as tree trunks were shrinking, and a large amount of Yin Qi was overflowing from them.

Flows of this kind of an evil aura poured into the big cave in the center of the mountain one by one.

Dead souls inside the cave were spurting out a dark green, viscous liquid onto the meat chunks. This liquid then turned into layers of energy, getting absorbed into the meat chunks.

Time passed quietly.

Crack!

The cracking sound of an egg hatching rose. The membrane covering the meat chunk cracked, then fell on the ground piece by piece.

A green, short-limbed creature which was as tall as a ten-year-old child emerged from the meat chunk. Its skin was wrinkled like an ugly toad. Its three pupils had a deep, cold, dark green hue, and its look was sinister to the extreme.

It was a humanoid creature, with a pointy head and no ears. There were many holes on its cheeks, and its nostrils moved as if it were breathing the evil aura of this cave.

Dead souls in the cave suddenly got excited. They led that short-limbed creature towards the dead souls' evil lair.

Hundreds of dead souls joined hands and fiercely pushed that creature into the dead souls' evil lair inside the cave.

Swoosh!

The first body of the dead soul that was refined from the Corpse Refining Pond had been pushed into the dead souls' evil lair.

A sinister green halo expanded from the evil lair as its center, rippling out. The size of the evil lair doubled in just a blink.

From outside the evil lair, it looked like numerous dark green tentacles were piercing into the dead soul body, transmitting the evil energy just like a drip-feed.

The dead soul body grew quickly. Immense green light shot out from the holes in its cheeks, as it gradually gained the size of an adult.

Deep inside the dead souls' evil lair, a flow of green light zoomed over from a distant area, hitting the body instantly. The bizarre, cold eyes of the dead soul body became more evilly intimidating after the dead soul had entered it. A gloomy evil aura shot out from the evil lair.

Crack Crack!

Crispy cracking sounds echoed from the evil lair. A dead soul body was occupied. It then struggled out of the evil lair and descended in the cave of Mount Heaven Whistle. Hundreds of dead souls surrounded the evil lair and cheered. Their sounds were sharp, their whistles seeming like thousands of ghosts crying miserably. An aura of resentment soared to the sky.

Inside Mount Heaven Whistle, blocks of meat enlarged fast. Soon, another dead soul body was born.

The first dead soul with its body got out of the evil lair, then walked to the pond in the cave. Countless green tentacles extended from its waist like worms, and pierced into the newborn dead soul bodies.

Evil energy quickly poured into the newborn bodies, enlarging them.

Not long afterward, excited high-level dead souls floating around all stormed over at the same time, choosing a body and entering their new hosts.Dead Soul Mountain range…

It'd been half a month, but not many warriors and alchemists left the place because of the dead soul event. They decided to stay and cultivate. However, some of them started to disappear into thin air.

During half a month, hundreds of warriors, alchemists, and blacksmiths seemed to evaporate. Some people had taken risks intruding the Dead Soul Mountain range to hunt the dead souls and harvest the treasures from the dead souls' evil lairs. They all disappeared one by one.

"Have you heard the news of Zhang Yue and his team? They were operating in the East of Mount Heaven Whistle. It's been seven days, and they haven't returned yet."

"I heard that not only Zhang Yue, but also a group of members of the Radiant God Cult led by a First Sky of Spirit Realm expert went missing. No one can contact them."

"My master told me that many of the alchemists and blacksmiths living in some mountains have gone missing."

A group of warriors was discussing quietly in a shop in the Spirit Potion Valley with frightened faces.

The same discussions were repeated in some corners of the Precious Tool Valley and the Spirit Potion Valley.

Recently, warriors, alchemists, and blacksmiths had gone missing continually. The others couldn't contact them using the Sound Stone, and no one found them either. The anomaly of the Dead Soul Mountain range became more terrible at this moment. Some people who had intended to wait and watch the change in silence started to leave the place at their fastest speed.

Some of the ones who decided to leave vanished even before they could get out of the Dead Soul Mountain range.

The news of their missing status came to the Precious Tool Valley and the Spirit Potion Valley, which made the ones who hadn't left yet scared, giving up the thought of running away in their heads.

The situation became grimmer day by day.

Li Zheng Rong, the blacksmiths of the Precious Tool Valley, together with the experts from the Pure Land, the Radiant God Cult, and the Devil Valley discussed daily to identify the news of new missing people.

These days, according to the statistics of the Spirit Hall and Tool Hall, at least seven hundred warriors went missing.

Warriors living in the two valleys all felt insecure.

Li Zheng Rong was so busy, and was even having a serious headache. When he went out searching for the dead souls, he didn't dare to go alone, and often departed with hotshots of the Tool Hall.

It was unknown why when his group came out searching in the regions of the Dead Soul Mountain range, they usually didn't find anything abnormal. Even a single dead soul was hard to see.

This doesn't fit the common sense.

Before the dead souls had the anomaly, they could easily meet the dead souls near the area of the evil lairs. It was impossible that they couldn't find even a single dead soul for several days.

After the dead souls had some big changes, according to normal sense, this should be the time the dead souls operated more crowdedly, and slaughter everywhere.

After several failed searching missions, Li Zheng Rong and his group became more panic-stricken.

People still kept going missing mysteriously. This situation hadn't stopped yet. Gradually, Li Zheng Rong recognized a fact he found it hard to accept.

It wasn't true that the dead souls had stopped all of their operations. They were still slaughtering everywhere else. The reason why they hadn't met them was that the dead souls had sensed their presence and missions beforehand to stay away before they reached the area.

Also, this meant the dead souls hadn't gathered enough power. They understood that they didn't have sufficient force to battle with the human warriors. So, they were hiding and waiting for the chance to snatch other groups of human warriors.

After he'd confirmed this finding, Li Zheng Rong and the blacksmiths of the Tool Hall started to feel scared, as their worries about the dead souls swelled up in their hearts.

The Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley were sealed up.

To prevent more warriors from going missing when they went out, the Tool Hall and the Spirit Hall had announced the common curfew. Whoever was staying in the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valey had to stay inside, as they weren't allowed to go out of the valleys.

Once a warrior's soul was eroded, he would become a newly dead soul, and be a part of the dead soul's formidable force. To prevent the dead souls from being stronger, Li Zheng Rong and his group had to set up this poor plan. They were now guarding the Precious Tool Valley and the Spirit Potion Valley, as they were waiting for a face-to-face battle with the dead souls.

In fact, even if they didn't set up the curfew, no one had such big guts to go out.

When the news of the searching teams going missing mysteriously was leaked, the warriors living in the two valleys finally recognized the dangerous situation.

Everybody feared death. When they found out that the experts stronger than them had disappeared after leaving no trace, they became more well-behaved.

At the same time, the Spirit Hall and the Tool Hall had sent the message to the warriors cultivating in the surrounding mountains, asking them to come to the valley quickly. The ones they couldn't contact, they couldn't do anything more for them.

At the same time, after the Pure Land, the Radiant God Cult, and the Devil Valley sent their Elders to the site, they couldn't help but pay more attention to the moves of the Dead Soul Mountain range tightly.

Some said that True God Realm warriors of these three factions had gradually come back from their secluding cultivation. They would hurry to the Dead Soul Mountain range soon.

All of a sudden, the Dead Soul Mountain range had become the focus of the entire Divine Great Land. After the ancient factions got the information of the anomaly in the Dead Soul Mountain range, they all used their ways to collect the news from there.The Ice Emperor City…

Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Zu Zhu, Leng Dan Qing, and Han Cui had been cultivating in the bone-chilling ice chamber. When they woke up from their cultivation, Bing Qing Tong received the news from the General Union. Her smile ceased.

"Sister, what's up?" Han Cui let out a light laughter. Her beautiful eyes brightened, as the cold aura ameliorated her shining smile with an outstanding bearing.

"There's a big change in the Dead Soul Mountain range. According to the General Union, it's a big calamity…" Bing Qing Tong narrated the news she received in detail.

After the bad experience with Yu Li Ming and Ning Du Quan, the bond between the four sisters had restored. They had no grudges now. They had spent time together to cultivate in the ice chamber. Both their realms and Ice Jade Technique were improving fast.

At the moment, Bing Qing Tong seemed to have entered the peak of the Spirit Realm. Han Cui had a significant improvement as well. Furthermore, Shuang Yu Zhu and Leng Dan Qing now could urge their Ice Jade Technique more fluently.

After they had a notable increase in their realms, the General Union showed them a better attitude, much better than before. When they received the news of the Divine Great Land, they would immediately send to the women here.

Ning Du Quan actually wanted to trouble them more. But when he knew that the women's realms had been much improved, he couldn't help but give up his attempt, washing away the thought of declaring war.

The Ice Emperor City had changed.

"Didn't that bastard go to the Dead Soul Mountain range? With his speed, he should be there already. What should we do?" Han Cui was scared. She shot up from her seat, her face worried.

Shuang Yu Zhu and Leng Dan Qing slammed their brows together.

"We should go and look for him," Leng Dan Qing stood up, her face agitated.

"No," Bing Qing Tong shook her head, "The situation of the Dead Soul Mountain range's much complicated now. We can't get there on time. With his capacity, Shi Yan can protect himself. We shouldn't worry about him that much. We'd better keep an eye on the information. I think he would be okay. Anyways, even Ning Du Quan had no way to catch him. If it isn't a True God Realm warrior, I think he will be alright."

Hearing Bing Qing Tong say so, Shuang Yu Zhu and Leng Dan Qing contemplated, then nodded. However, they still wore anxious faces.Precious Tool Valley...

Lin Ya Qi approached a house which was specialized in offering quiet chambers for warriors to cultivate. She didn't keep the smiling face as usual, frowning while quietly walking to a gravitational room. She called with a low tone, "Shi Yan, open up. I have something I want to tell you. Let me in. Quickly."
