Chapter 301 (2/2)

More than half of the soul raising stone's power was instantly absorbed by the Nether Soul Domain. The domain grew and expanded, the soul raising stone much more effective than Xiang Shaoyun had expected. Toward the end of the process, the soul raising stone's size had been reduced four or five times in size.

If previously Xiang Shaoyun's Nether Soul Domain was akin to a ma.s.sive courtyard capable of holding 10,000 people, then his current Nether Soul Domain was akin to a ma.s.sive village capable of easily holding all the ghostrunes.

The growth of the Nether Soul Domain also signified that Xiang Shaoyun himself had grown. His soul power soared, reaching a level equivalent to a peak Skysoar Realm expert's. The growth of soul gave him an extremely wondrous sensation, as if his very soul was floating up into the sky. In fact, he had a feeling his soul could grow even more if it wasn't for the limitation of his low cultivation level.

Xiang Shaoyun was pleased as he lamented inwardly, Fortunately I have Devouring Ghost with me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known how helpful the soul raising stone would be to me.

He had just entered ninth-stage Transformation Realm, and with the growth of his soul power thanks to the soul raising stone, his new cultivation level had completely stabilized. Additionally, his eyes and ears had become sharper than before, and his senses had become much more sensitive. His detection range had also increased greatly. From now onward, ambus.h.i.+ng him would be even harder.

At present, all the ghostrunes were already inside the Nether Soul Domain. Xiang Shaoyun could sense that they were extremely content and comfortable there. If it wasn't for the ghostrune patriarch restricting them, they would have started a wild celebration.

Some of the ghostrunes had even directly broken through into the King Realm the moment they entered the Nether Soul Domain, which was completely outside of Xiang Shaoyun's expectations.

”The Nether Soul Domain is indeed a wondrous thing. If you can create an army of Nether Soul Puppets in the future, you will be able to dominate the world. Hahaha,” said Devouring Ghost.

”Huh? I can even make Nether Soul Puppets?” Xiang Shaoyun was confused.

”Of course you can. But I don't really know that much about it. You are still too weak now. When you grow stronger and learn more, you will understand what it is all about,” said Devouring Ghost. ”Alright, let's leave this s.h.i.+tty place. I can't stand this place anymore.”

”Ok, let's leave,” Xiang Shaoyun agreed.

And thus, he started his journey out of the Land of Soul Springs.

There was about a week left before the one month period was over, and some of those who had gotten a soul spring for themselves had long departed. As for those who had not found any soul springs, they were planning to make a final attempt to get one. Unfortunately, it had been a few days since any strands of soul spring were seen, and the people were becoming anxious as the one month deadline approached.

More and more people decided to throw caution to the wind and enter deep into the territory of the ghostrunes in hope of getting a soul spring. But even after going deep inside the territory, not a single ghostrune or soul spring was in sight, which caused the humans to become even more curious, and they continued exploring. One such group of people had stumbled upon Xiang Shaoyun who was on his way out.

Xiang Shaoyun was able to sense them hiding nearby waiting for him, but he did not care and continued treading ahead. With his strength, n.o.body here could stop him. When he approached them, the ambushers all came out of hiding. There were about a dozen of them; none were weaker than eighth-stage Transformation Realm.

”Haha, so it's the renowned Xiang Shaoyun? Let me pay him my respects,” a crisp voice rang out in the air.

Xiang Shaoyun indifferently looked at the voice's owner and said, ”I am Xiang Shaoyun. What do you want? Are you here to rob me of my soul spring?”
