Chapter 1740: Soul Swim (1/2)
“At any rate, our plan to extract the Geocentric Motherlode and use it as protection against the Light of Annihilation probably won’t work now.”
An Hao said calmly, “Now that the Geocentric Motherlode has a master, it has become nearly impossible to extract or refine it.”
“Let’s leave. There’s no point hanging around here any longer.”
Han Che also said, “She needs some time to fuse with the Geocentric Motherlode. Once she becomes the master of the Geocentric Motherlode fully, Lieyan Yuan’s spatial shut down over Spirit Realm should fail automatically.”
“We shouldn’t think to use the Geocentric Motherlode against the shadow beings anymore,” Lieyan Zhao said calmly.
Qin Lie shot them a long look before nodding. “Alright.”
The trio hadn’t explained about the mysterious connection between the Chaos Soul Realm and the Geocentric Motherlode at all.
However, Qin Lie knew that they must know about this at a deeper level.
Maybe they refrained from revealing their knowledge because the Flame Emperor, the Ice Emperor, Hua Tianqiong and Ji Dan were here.
After all, this was incredibly valuable knowledge.
It was understandable that they wouldn’t want to reveal it to people they weren’t really close with.
“Those on the ground are waiting for us to bring them the Geocentric Motherlode,” the Ice Emperor said with a bitter expression. “We will need to justify ourselves properly for returning empty-handed, or else…”
“Everything’s fine,” Qin Lie said calmly.
“Let’s go.” Qin Shan looked stern as well.
……
At Nether City, Nine Hells Purgatory.
After Ling Yushi’s soul had left her body, she never came out of the secret underground room she was placed in.
She was guarded by Ming Xiao, one of the five Demon Gods.
Castor’s avatar had left Nine Hells Purgatory since a long time ago. The Spirit Race clansmen had also returned to their homeworld.
For now, Nine Hells Purgatory was in a state of peace.
“Eh!”
Ming Xiao was closing his eyes and studying the secrets of his bloodline when he opened his eyes suddenly.
The Nine Hells Monarch, Auston, had appeared inside the room before anyone realized it as well.
Staring closely at Ling Yushi and sensing the energy coming off her, Auston said, “Strange…”
“What’s wrong?” Ming Xiao asked.
“She seems to have awakened a rich energy. In fact, it’s growing stronger and stronger,” Auston explained.
Ming Xiao’s study of the soul was far inferior to Auston’s, but he managed to notice the anomaly thanks to Auston’s reminder.
“This is… the world spirit energy of Spirit Realm,” Ming Xiao exclaimed in astonishment.
“The world spirit energy of Spirit Realm?” Surprised, Auston said, “This energy is running through her entire body. It’s… even starting to temper her body. But I thought her soul is still trapped inside the Chaos Soul Realm. What’s going on?”
Ming Xiao shook his head in equal puzzlement.
“The energy is growing richer and richer. It… has the power to increase her bloodline to rank ten and evolve her into a Great Lord of the Abyss!” Auston’s eyes were filled with shock when he realized what was happening to Ling Yushi. “I don’t know why, but I’m sensing aura of Abyss Creator from her. She is in Nine Hells Purgatory and hasn’t taken control of any Abyss level though. Strange, truly strange…”
“Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh!”
Suddenly, dazzling sparks flew out of Ling Yushi’s body.
The light eventually joined together to form a picture.
The picture displayed a place filled with crystal veins. If Qin Lie and Qin Shan were here, they would’ve recognized it as the geocenter of Spirit Realm immediately.
In fact, Qin Lie had sensed Ling Yushi’s unique aura from the same crystal veins just a short while ago.
“What’s this place?” Auston asked in confusion.
