Chapter 251 Soul Origin, Mid-Spiritual Realm

"Tell me also the method by which the Soul Palace creates the origin of souls." Lin Yuan said calmly.

"You...want to create the origin of the soul?"

A cry of surprise came from the dying old man Mu Gu. He looked weakly at the smiling young man in front of him. Thinking of the pain just now, his illusory soul couldn't help but tremble, as if he had seen a terrible demon.

"Are you really the next grand elder of Canaan College?" Old Man Mu Gu couldn't help but ask.

Extracting the original soul energy of others and creating the origin of the soul is considered an evil practice in the entire Douqi Continent. Once exposed, it will surely be despised and hostile by everyone.

Moreover, the origin of the soul is considered a secret even in the Soul Palace, and is known only to the elders and above.

This kid in front of me is obviously a very "upright" Canaan College student, and he also exudes an inexplicable sense of "righteousness" on the surface. Why does he know these things? Moreover, it seems that he has no resistance to this, but is eager to try...

Hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled gently, and with a flick of his finger, an invisible flame immediately swept towards the old man Mu Gu...

"what--"

In this space isolated and blocked by soul power, the sound of extreme pain rang out again.

"Haven't you figured out your situation yet?"

Looking at the wailing soul in the fire hood, Lin Yuan said indifferently: "I have set a restriction on you. You can't die without my permission. If you don't cooperate, I have countless ways to make you want to live but not die. Torture... I'm good at it!"

"You should answer my questions instead of asking them to me."

After a while, he waved his hand to dissipate the flames, and with a flick of his finger, a drop of soul-nourishing saliva fell into the dying soul.

At this moment, the dying old man Mu Gu also realized that he could not bring himself to commit suicide. A trace of despair and helplessness flashed in his eyes, "Boy, you win. I admit defeat this time!"

Seeing that the invisible flame was about to attack him again, he did not put up any more resistance and said hurriedly, "I'll tell you... I'll tell you! Extracting the original soul energy is..."

Afterwards, old man Mu Gu cooperated very well and explained everything.

Of course, Lin Yuan didn't trust him very much, and used some not very "humane" methods to confirm the interrogation results.

Seven days later.

Lin Yuan looked at a ball of light about the size of a fist floating in front of him, his eyes filled with joy.

This group was filled with a terrifying soul fluctuation, and this fluctuation... was extremely pure, without any impurities.

"Hehehe, the origin of the soul..."

The soul is the foundation of all living things. All living things in the world have souls. Deep within the soul, there is a trace of the origin of the soul. This is the foundation for the birth of the soul, and it is also one of the purest and most strange energies between heaven and earth.

Absorbing the essence of the soul can enhance the power of the soul.

If one possesses an extremely vast soul essence and at certain suitable opportunities, it is even possible to achieve the legendary "Emperor's Soul".

Collecting the essence of souls is the reason why the Soul Clan established the Soul Palace and captured souls everywhere on the continent.

Of course, the role of the Soul Palace is not limited to this. It also serves as the eyes and ears of the Soul Clan and the black gloves, and arranges the Soul Devouring Life-Destroying Formation. But no matter what, collecting the essence of the soul is undoubtedly the most important...

"Thank you, Venerable Mu Gu, for helping me on my road to the top!"

Lin Yuan turned his head and looked at the soul of old man Mu Gu, which was already extremely illusory and on the verge of disappearing, and expressed his sincere gratitude.

This soul origin was extracted from old man Mu Gu.

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, old man Mu Gu slowly moved his reluctant gaze away from the pure soul origin and looked at the former, with greed, resentment, reluctance, trance... complex emotions intertwined in his eyes.

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I can't say anything more, but can you answer... a question for me?"

Old man Mu Gu, who was about to die, asked weakly.

"Yes!" Lin Yuan waved his hand and said generously: "You have been cooperative these days, so this question can be regarded as my thanks for your attitude!"

"Thank you!" Old Man Mu Gu nodded.

He forced himself to hold on to his fading spirit, straightened his expression, and asked in a deep voice: "What is your relationship with Yao Chen? Why do you know his Soul Profound Seal?"

"Don't worry, I'm not Yao Chen's disciple." Lin Yuan smiled, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and said lightly: "I just completely destroyed his residual soul, and then got this soul skill from his legacy!"

"Yao Chen... is completely dead!" Hearing this, Elder Mu Gu was startled, and then...

“Dead… hehe… Well done, well done! He died at the hands of the same person as me, but died before me… hehehe… I won this time…”

He laughed wildly, danced, and a twisted look of pleasure appeared on his face.

In the very end, the sadness of his own impending death, intertwined with the pleasure and confusion of his mortal enemy's disappearance, turned into a trace of relief in his eyes, as if some kind of obsession had completely dissipated... and the last trace of life also dissipated with it.

Old man Mu Gu looked at Lin Yuan deeply and smiled coldly, but then his eyes softened a little.

"Hehehe, kid...thank you so much!"

"Step on my corpse to stir up trouble, climb that dangerous peak, and I will be waiting for you in the underworld..."

As the cold voice echoed, his soul fluctuated slightly. The light in his eyes dimmed completely, and the vitality in his brows disappeared. His illusory form completely dissipated and finally turned into a wisp of light smoke, disappearing in this space.

“Sorry, I lied to you!” Lin Yuan put away the last bit of soul essence and smiled gently, “Just think of what I said just now as my end-of-life care!”

Not only is Medicine Master not dead, he will even regain his physical body soon.

However, there was no need to tell Elder Mu Gu about these things. Letting him disappear in relief was the last mercy bestowed by Lin Yuan...

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yuan shifted his gaze back to the source of his soul in front of him, and a hint of heat flashed in his eyes.

Although these soul origins are not many, they are still quite a few.

Old man Mu Gu's cultivation has reached the level of three-star Dou Zun, and his soul has even reached the middle stage of the spiritual realm, the level of eighth grade and four colors. Although the soul origin extracted from him cannot be compared with the three halls of heaven, earth and man, it is not inferior to the collection of an ordinary branch hall.

If used properly, it can be enough to make significant progress in soul power.

Whether it is practicing soul techniques to increase soul power or absorbing the soul origin to increase soul power, Lin Yuan wants it all.

With his eyes slightly focused, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the stone bed.

After pondering for a moment, his mind moved, and he used his soul power to separate a strand of his soul's origin, sealed it properly, and then put it into the Ring of the Dark Sea.

Immediately, he clenched his hands, and several flames intertwined and swirled, enveloping the soul origin in front of him.

"Refining——"

Under the refining of the strange fire, the fragments of old man Mu Gu's will in the origin of this soul were completely transformed into nothingness and dissipated.

More than ten minutes later, Lin Yuan waved his hand to disperse the lingering flames.

And the soul light ball, after being refined and purified by the flame, also becomes like a ball of transparent and crystal, emitting an illusory soft light.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan closed his eyes and made a few hand seals smoothly.

The moment the seal fell, the vast soul power surged out from the center of Lin Yuan's brows. Not long after, a human-shaped light and shadow that looked like him condensed and sat cross-legged in front of the soul light ball. This somewhat illusory human-shaped light and shadow was exactly the soul of Lin Yuan who had left his body.

Lin Yuan's soul light shadow opened his mouth slightly, and a suction force surged out.

"Whoosh-"

The soul light ball slowly fluctuated, emitting waves of crisp sounds like water waves, and then wisps of pure soul origin separated out and flowed into Lin Yuan's soul through his open mouth.

And under this infusion, a feeling of extreme relaxation echoed in the soul, and a hint of intoxication appeared on the illusory face of light and shadow.

At the same time, a faint layer of strange crystals quietly emerged on the surface of his soul.

As more and more extremely pure soul essences were absorbed by Lin Yuan's soul, his soul power, which was at the peak of the early spiritual realm, began to increase rapidly.

"Click——"

Soon, a layer of barrier in the dark was broken, and Lin Yuan's soul power broke through the middle stage of the spiritual realm like a broken bamboo. At this time, more than half of the soul light ball in front of him was still left.

Lin Yuan did not stop his actions and continued to absorb the soul essence.

Under the nourishment of the soul's origin, his soul is constantly transforming.
-
Zhongzhou, Northern Territory.

On a vast and lush plain, there was a gravel square. On the ground in the center of the square, there were many mysterious symbols painted. These symbols all emitted a faint silver light, and faintly revealed a trace of spatial fluctuations.

At a certain moment, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the quiet square, and a silver halo appeared in the center of the square.

A silver boat shadow flashed out from the silver halo and quickly became smaller.

Then, two figures flew out from the shadow of the boat:

The elegant old man stepped on a wisp of breeze and landed leisurely on the bluestone floor. Then he casually flicked out a wisp of breeze and rolled the spaceship into his hand;
The heroic young man in black robe spread his pair of ochre-colored flaming wings and flew freely in the sky.

Seeing this, the old man Qingyi chuckled, looked at the black-robed young man in the sky kindly, and said lightly: "After breaking through the Dou Wang, this kid has been stuck in the space channel for several days. I guess he is almost panicking, old man..."

"Haha!" Yao Lao laughed easily and said proudly, "Feng Xian, after spending so many days together, you must have understood Xiao Yanzi's situation, right? How is it?"

"Your disciple is really good!" Venerable Feng nodded and said with satisfaction.

After spending a few days together, Venerable Feng was quite impressed with Xiao Yan, the new disciple accepted by Yao Lao.

Although Xiao Yan's strength is still a little insufficient, according to Yao Lao's narration and observations over the past few days, Xiao Yan has demonstrated top-notch talent and ability, not inferior to or even surpassing the strongest disciple of this generation of Xingyun Pavilion.

"Of course he's good!" Yao Lao smiled proudly and said, "This kid is the disciple I finally decided on after several years of observation and polishing."

"Since he is your successor, as your uncle, let me give him some responsibilities!"

"Feng Xian, you want to..."

“Haha!” Venerable Feng smiled and waved to Xiao Yan, “Xiao Yanzi, we have to go to the next stop!”

After flying freely in the sky for a while, Xiao Yan’s excitement finally subsided. After hearing the greeting from Master Feng, he quickly folded his wings and landed in front of Master Feng. He clasped his hands and said, “Sorry, Master Feng, I was a little…”

Venerable Feng waved his hand casually and said gently: "No need to explain, I was also your age... Let's go!"

As he spoke, Master Feng waved his hand and condensed a giant wind eagle.

The two men flew onto the giant eagle, and the eagle flapped its wings, cut through the sky, and flew rapidly towards the south. In a few flashes, it disappeared into the horizon.

On the giant wind eagle, Yao Lao revealed his figure.

Looking around quietly, feeling the abundant energy of heaven and earth around him, Yao Lao sighed and said, "After lingering on for decades, I finally returned to Zhongzhou. It's really been a long time..."

Hearing this, Venerable Feng walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.

"After your successful resurrection this time, don't think about being a hands-off manager. Work with me to run Xingyun Pavilion well."

"Humanity is ultimately inferior to power."

"In Zhongzhou, if you don't have a force to support you, and only rely on personal connections, you are still like a rootless floating tree, and it is easy for others to target you. After you go back, you will take over as the Pavilion Master of Xingyun Pavilion. If it's Xiao Yanzi, you will immediately take over as the Junior Pavilion Master of Xingyun Pavilion."

At this point, a hint of cunning flashed in Master Feng's eyes.

He knew his old friend Yao Lao very well. The latter was essentially a passionate and carefree person, but he was also extremely patient and responsible towards his disciples.

Once Xiao Yan becomes the Young Pavilion Master, Lao You will be more steady and cautious in doing things...

On the other side, after a while, Xiao Yan came back to his senses. He pointed at himself in astonishment and said, "Master Feng, are you kidding me? I am... the Young Master of Xingyun Pavilion?"

“This is not a joke.” Venerable Feng smiled and said as a matter of course: “Your teacher is the founder and leader of Xingyun Pavilion. As his successor, you are naturally the young leader of Xingyun Pavilion. However…”

"After becoming the Young Master, you will have to face the challenges of the outstanding disciples in the Pavilion. If your power and talent cannot convince the others, then..."

After a pause, his eyes showed a hint of mischief, and he said jokingly, "Do you need me to conceal your identity for a few years? How about letting you accept the challenge of everyone after a few years?"

"Teacher...Mr. Feng...I..."

Soon, hearty laughter rang out, "Good! Good! Good! Only then can you be called the successor of Yao Chen..."
-
In Zhongzhou, there is a huge dark palace somewhere.

"Not good! Not good!"

A cry of surprise was heard, followed by a noisy panic. "The soul mark left by Elder Mu Gu has dissipated. I'm afraid he..."

"What? Mu Gu is dead? Report this to the Palace Master immediately..."

"The soul mark disappears, which means the soul is gone. It's a pity for an eighth-grade alchemist's soul!"

"Mu Gu's recent whereabouts...check it for me..."

"Damn it, who was so bold as to attack the Venerable of my Soul Palace? But then again, now that guy is dead, who are we going to find to make medicine in the future?"

"Damn it, Mu Gu is such a loser!"

The actions of a young man in the distant Black Horn Region began to stir up small waves in Zhongzhou and in the trajectory of fate...
-
Tianya City.

Suddenly, a strong space fluctuation appeared in the peaceful space wormhole. Then, an old man in gray and white clothes, with strange black mist lingering around his body, walked out calmly from the distorted space.

As he stood casually, a vast aura filled the air, and all the people in Tianya City bent their waists and lowered their heads unconsciously.

"Black Horn Region, Canaan College...Lin Yuan...find the strongest person to ask for directions."

Without even glancing at the "ants" around him, the old man murmured something, then took a step forward and disappeared on the stone platform.

"Another Dou Zun?"

The old man in gray and white clothes left for a long time. The two-star Dou Zong who was maintaining the space channel just raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself: "No, I can't do this job recently... What if I get killed by a Dou Zun strongman... That would be a big loss!"

Soon, a dark mist rose from Tianya City and rushed towards Canaan City...
