Xiang Shaoyun was greatly tempted by Devouring Ghost's suggestion.

”But that doesn't seem like a good solution either? Sure, I can find a place for them to stay. But I will have to go look for them whenever I need their help. If one day I face a formidable enemy, I will probably die before I can even get to them,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

”Yes, that is a valid concern. But that is only applicable to others. You are different. Wouldn't it be a waste to not utilize the Nether Soul Domain you have?” said Devouring Ghost.

”Huh? What does the Nether Soul Domain have anything to do with this?” asked Xiang Shaoyun in confusion.

”No way, are you completely clueless about the Nether Soul Domain?” asked Devouring Ghost in astonishment.

”If I knew, why would I be asking you?” said Xiang Shaoyun with a helpless tone.

He only knew a tiny bit about the Nether Soul Domain and had not been able to find out more of its secrets.

”Haha, no wonder.... Fine, I'll tell you what I know. Like the astral cosmos sea, the Nether Soul Domain can be used to store things, but it can only store things that resonate with it. An example would be your Nether Dragon Soul Headband. The ghostrunes are living beings, and they have a natural preference for environments with thick soul power. Soul power is for them what astral energy is for us humans. Your Nether Soul Domain is a s.p.a.ce formed of soul power, and entering your Nether Soul Domain will only be beneficial to them,” said Devouring Ghost.

Xiang Shaoyun was pleasantly surprised. ”Is that true?”

He had not expected that the Nether Soul Domain would have such a wondrous function. If that was the case, it wouldn't be a problem for him to take a few ghostrune kings with him.

”Of course. But they will be cultivating by absorbing soul power. So if you want them to grow, you have to grow yourself as well. They can then grow through you,” said Devouring Ghost.

”I see. So what do I need to do to get them in my Nether Soul Domain, then?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

”Well, I don't know. It's not like I have a Nether Soul Domain of my own,” replied Devouring Ghost.

Xiang Shaoyun sank into a short silence before he tried summoning the Nether Soul Domain out. The Nether Soul Domain was a piece of black s.p.a.ce that innately existed within his head. With his soul at the center, the Nether Soul Domain filled the s.p.a.ce within his head, causing his senses to be far more sensitive than others. That was how he had come to possess the gift of instincts and visualization.

Xiang Shaoyun had never known about the Nether Soul Domain's function before Devouring Ghost told him, and that also explained why it had ”Domain” as part of its name.

He willed for the Nether Soul Domain to come out with his mind. An indescribable force started spreading all around him, and the Nether Soul Domain seemed to come alive. All the ghostrunes in the area suddenly froze. Their eyes lit up brightly as they started scanning the area, searching for the source of the sudden sense of comfort they were experiencing.

”W-what comfortable sensation! This is soul power! What wondrously pure soul power!” the ghostrune patriarch cried out in alarm.

Finally, their gazes landed on Xiang Shaoyun. They could see a piece of dark s.p.a.ce around him, and that was the same s.p.a.ce emanating an aura that resonated with them. Without even thinking about it, they started flying toward Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun flinched at the sight of the ma.s.sive number of ghostrunes flying toward him.

”Hmph. Stay where you are!” Devouring Ghost snorted coldly and sent a wave of terrifying soul power out, suppressing all the ghostrunes and forcing them to stop.
