"Elder, disciple Xing Jue wishes to join Soul Pass." Xing Jue walked forward and respectfully bowed to the elder.
Ignoring the fact that this elder was a Soul Pass elder, the feeling he gave off was extraordinary to Xing Jue.
Xing Jue was certain that this ugly elder was definitely a powerful expert. Xing Jue naturally would not neglect such a person.
"Junior brother, are you really going to join the Spirit Gate?" Before the elder could reply, a man had already rushed to ask.
"Elder, may I ask if disciple can apply for an assessment?" Xing Jue did not pay any attention to that person, and continued to ask the elder for instructions.
"Ah, junior brother, Soul Pass is a desolate place. It is already a miracle that it still exists as one of the four passes."
"Let alone an outstanding person like you, even I do not need to undergo any assessment. As long as someone is willing to join Soul Pass, it is already a fortunate thing for Soul Pass." The disciple seemed to understand the situation very well as he explained.
"I'm talking to an elder. Can't you see?"
Xing Jue was somewhat displeased at being disturbed again and again. His fierce gaze was like two swords as it shot towards the man.
"Eh … junior brother, eh … no no no, I mean senior brother, I have no ill intentions …"
In an instant, the man felt the threat of death from Xing Jue's gaze. Waves of fear filled his heart as he retreated repeatedly, deeply afraid that Xing Jue would attack him.
Not only that man, even the other three men were drenched in sweat from fright. Their gazes towards Xing Jue were as if they were looking at a fiendish devil, filled with fear.
"He's right. Soul Pass has long been desolate, there is no need for any assessment." At this moment, the elder unsteadily stood up.
"You won't be able to learn anything here. It is merely a waste of time."
"Rather than doing useless work here, it is better to put in more effort and strive to pass the other three assessments. That way, it may be more beneficial to your future."
"Let me ask you again, are you sure you want to join the Soul Gate? You should know that once you choose the Soul Gate, you will be in the Soul Gate for life. You can't choose another gate. "
The old man put away the wine gourd in his hand, tidied up his clothes, and asked solemnly.
"We are willing to join Soul Gate." Xing Jue and the other four disciples replied in unison.
"That's good. Since you've made your choice, don't regret it. From today onwards, you will never be able to get rid of your identity as a Soul Gate disciple."
Suddenly, the old man's sleeves fluttered, and Xing Jue and the others felt a burning sensation on their left arm. When they looked at their clothes again, they couldn't help but be shocked.
Because they discovered that on the clothes on their left arms, there was a black 'soul' character. The 'soul' character was very abstract, more like a talisman, but it was indeed the 'soul' character.
However, what surprised Xing Jue and the others the most was that the word 'Soul' was not imprinted on their clothes, but on their bodies.
The reason why this word appeared on the clothes was because the word was reflected through the clothes.
"What a brilliant technique. This old man is indeed not as simple as he appears on the surface."
Xing Jue was deeply convinced by the old man's methods after being imprinted like that without him noticing it.
Especially after he observed and discovered that the 'soul' character was an extremely powerful Spirit Formation technique, he sighed in admiration at the old man's methods.
At that very instant, other than Xing Jue, the other four men were tongue-tied with their mouths wide open. When they looked at the old man, their gazes were filled with reverence.
At first, they, who did not put the old man in their eyes, finally knew how powerful of an existence the beggar-like old man was.
"It's about time, let's go!"
After imprinting the Soul Gate on Xing Jue and the others' bodies, the old man's large sleeve floated up and a strange Spirit Formation gate opened in front of him.
After following the old man into the Spirit Formation gate, another Spirit Formation gate quickly appeared in front of them. After stepping out of the other Spirit Formation gate, even Xing Jue could not remain calm.
At that moment, in front of them was no longer the Soul Gate's registration area, but a completely different world. An extremely vast world.
Lofty mountains, lofty ridges, birdsong, fragrant flowers, rows of buildings, and a vast city.
The majestic waterfalls in the mountains, the ferocious rivers below the cliffs, the white clouds floating in front of them, and the majestic buildings beneath their feet deeply attracted the gazes of Xing Jue and the others.
"Impressive. What kind of speed is this?"
Although everything in front of them was spectacular, what shocked Xing Jue was not that.
He was shocked by the old man's terrifying speed because he could feel that the distance between where he was and where he was before was like the distance between heaven and earth.
But such a distance only required him to cross two Spirit Formations, and it could even be said that he arrived in an instant. That speed was something that even Nanguo Xianshen could not achieve.
"You can choose any one of the palaces below to be your residence. The cultivation area of the Soul Gate is at the center of that mountain range.
"Although it's difficult to learn anything, since you are people of the Soul Gate, I suggest that you go and have a look.
"There's no one to serve you here. If you didn't bring any servants, you'll have to rely on yourselves for food and lodging.
"Also, don't bother me if there's nothing important."
After yawning and saying those words, the old man left like a breeze, disappearing from the range of Xing Jue and the others' senses.
"What? You're just going to leave us here? Isn't that too irresponsible? "
"That's right. No wonder the Soul Gate is so desolate now. With an elder like that in charge, it would be strange if it wasn't desolate."
After the elder left, the four men began to grumble unhappily. However, their grumbling only lasted for a moment. Very quickly, they were attracted by the majestic palaces below.
It had to be said that although the Soul Gate was desolate, its buildings were indeed very spectacular. Not only were they grand in appearance, but the overall feeling they gave off was a visual impact.
It could be seen that the person who built the Soul Gate was definitely a top-notch formation expert. This was because the layout of the various buildings in the Soul Gate itself was a great formation.
"Is this the work of Ancestor Boundless Soul?"
Looking at the layers of buildings below, Xing Jue was deeply moved. Although the Soul Gate was desolate now, he could completely imagine how powerful the Soul Gate was when the Spirit Eater Race was still around.
"Senior Brother Xing Jue, choose a palace first."
Just as Xing Jue was immersed in his thoughts, the voices of the four men roused Xing Jue. Looking over, he saw that the four men were looking at Xing Jue attentively.
After being deterred by Xing Jue previously, they truly felt a sense of fear towards Xing Jue from the bottom of their hearts. Although they were very displeased, they didn't dare to offend Xing Jue on the surface.
"Everyone, feel free."
Xing Jue smiled and waved his hand at the four men. Then, he turned into a ray of light and flew into a palace.
The palace that Xing Jue had chosen was located in the center of the vast city. The palace wasn't very big, but it was very exquisite.
The white rock walls were decorated with jade, and it had a very clean aura, which suited Xing Jue's current tastes.
The palace was very clean. Although it had been uninhabited for close to ten thousand years, it was still untainted by dust. The facilities inside were also very comprehensive.
However, because there were no protective measures, and countless people might have entered in the past ten thousand years, the furnishings were a little messy.
Xing Jue first set up a barrier outside the palace, which could prevent outsiders from entering at will.
Then, he set up three strange formations on the ground and began to pour his soul into them. A moment later, three beautiful women walked out of the formation.
"Greetings, Master."
The three women were naked, and their curvaceous bodies were vividly displayed. However, they didn't feel ashamed at all. The first thing they did was to bow to Xing Jue.
"From today onwards, you're called Little Devil, Little Lotus, and Little Flower. You're not allowed to leave this palace without my permission."
Xing Jue's wrist glowed, and three gorgeous long dresses of different colors floated towards the three women.
"Yes, Master." The three women first changed into the long dresses, and then began to tidy up the layout of the palace.
As for these three, they didn't appear out of thin air. They were three Soul Puppets that Xing Jue had created through a special method of the Soul Eater Clan.
These three Soul Puppets not only had intelligence no lower than a human's, but they also had the strength of a Battle Sage. Any one of them could be called an overlord in the Sky Martial Continent.
However, Xing Jue only needed to set up a simple formation to create such powerful Soul Puppets. This was where Xing Jue's strength lay.
After handing over the task of tidying the palace to the three Soul Puppets, Xing Jue was about to take a short break.
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong."
However, before Xing Jue could enter his resting room, there was a series of knocks on the door.
"What's the matter?" Opening the palace door, he saw the four men from before standing outside with smiles on their faces.
"Senior Brother Xing Jue, it's our first time here, so we should pay a visit to our senior brothers and sisters here."
"We know that they're all cultivating in the secret place of the Soul Pass. Why don't we go together?" One of them said with a smile.
"Oh?" With their reminder, Xing Jue suddenly remembered that although the Soul Pass was desolate, it wasn't completely empty.
Previously, he was still wondering where the people of the Soul Pass had gone to. Now, he knew that they had all gone to the secret room of the Soul Pass to cultivate.
"Alright, but don't call me senior brother. You guys came here before me, so just call me junior brother."
Xing Jue nodded. Not mentioning that paying a visit to his senior brothers and sisters here was a form of etiquette, the problem was that Xing Jue really wanted to see what the secret place of the Soul Pass, which hid the power of the Soul Eater Race, looked like.
"Senior Brother Xing Jue, oh no, Junior Brother Xing Jue, we'll call you whatever you want us to call you."
Under the flattery of the four, Xing Jue and the other four quickly flew out of the city and arrived at the place that the old man had pointed out before, the secret place of the Soul Pass.
The secret place of the Soul Pass was located deep in the mountains. In the middle of the boundless mountain range, there was a vast plain, which was the secret place of the Soul Pass.
But this was not an ordinary plain, but a plain filled with formations and formation eyes. This formation was mysterious, as if it was naturally formed, but it could absorb the essence of heaven and earth, the power of Asura, and even the power of souls.
It was said that the secret place of the Soul Pass was the nemesis of souls. If a soul appeared within the range of the Soul Pass, its power would be absorbed, and it would be completely destroyed.
"Oh, this is this year's new students? Why is the Asura Battle Spirit here? It's really getting worse every year! "And at this moment, an ear-piercing voice suddenly rang out.
Looking over, there were dozens of men and women standing in midair, looking at Xing Jue and the others and laughing heartily, their eyes filled with contempt.
