This was a completely sealed off abode, and only the underwater passageway led to this place.
The furnishings within the abode were very simple, and there was only a stone table, a stone stool, and a stone bed.
"Hu ~ ~"
Duan Lingtian arrived before the stone table and blew on it, causing dust to pervade the air. "Looks like no one has been here for a long time."
Recalling the reason he came here, Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Force stretched out.
In the end, he sensed a dense spirit energy behind the stone bed.
"What exactly is it?"
Under the urging of his curiosity, Duan Lingtian went forward to take a look.
After passing through the stone bed, Duan Lingtian saw a gap in the ground, and within the gap, a dark green plant tenaciously grew there. On the plant, hung a sparkling and translucent spirit fruit that was dark green in color.
"This is …"
Duan Lingtian's pupils constricted.
His conjecture was indeed correct.
The spirit energy of the Soulcleanse Pool was indeed the same as what Reincarnation Emperor Wu had encountered all those years ago, and was emitted by a spirit fruit and fused into the water.
Now, when approaching the spirit fruit, Duan Lingtian felt his soul tremble.
In the next moment.
Duan Lingtian felt his mind go blank, and right at this instant, it seemed as if something in his soul had split open.
"My Spiritual Force … has changed!"
And right at this moment, Duan Lingtian joyfully noticed that his Spiritual Force that was stuck in a bottleneck had actually broken through the shackles in one go, and smoothly broke through to the Void Prying Stage!
He'd finally broken through!
"It's all thanks to this."
Duan Lingtian's burning gaze concentrated on the spirit fruit, and at the same time, he started to search the memories of Reincarnation Emperor Wu …
He didn't recognize what spirit fruit this was.
Finally, Duan Lingtian obtained an answer from the lifetime of memories of Reincarnation Emperor Wu.
"Nether Soul Fruit!"
Duan Lingtian's heartbeat suddenly sped up.
The Nether Soul Fruit was the same as the Soul Transformation Fruit, a spirit fruit that could improve the soul and raise the level of Spiritual Force.
In terms of medicinal strength, it was far superior to the Soul Transformation Fruit!
"I really didn't expect my luck to be so good … Although I didn't obtain the Soul Transformation Fruit, I obtained an even better Nether Soul Fruit."
Duan Lingtian's breathing quickened.
Immediately after, Duan Lingtian began to seriously size up the Nether Soul Fruit …
Soon, he discovered a problem.
"This Nether Soul Fruit doesn't seem to be ripe yet."
Duan Lingtian was stunned. Looking at the green color on the surface of the Spectral Soul Fruit, a bitter smile unknowingly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"However, it shouldn't be too long before the Netherworld Fruit ripens. It'll only take three days at most for it to ripen."
Duan Lingtian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he became a little excited.
"Three days … I won't go out for now."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
In his opinion, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Feng Wu Dao's group of three and the little gold mouse knew of his strength, and they knew that he would surely not encounter any danger after entering the Soulcleanse Pool.
As for the inscription formation, he could use his Spiritual Force to open it.
Duan Lingtian raised his hand to sweep away the dust on the stone bed, and then he sat cross-legged on it before starting to cultivate.
Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, Wind Wyrm Transformation!
Duan Lingtian immersed his entire body and mind into cultivation, and he quickly entered into a state of cultivation.
Duan Lingtian noticed that after his soul transformed, his cultivation speed seemed to have increased slightly when compared to before.
"Looks like even if it's natural talent at the limit, it still needs to rely on a strong soul to unearth it to a certain extent."
Duan Lingtian gradually calmed down and continued cultivating.
A day's time passed very quickly.
Within the vast gorge, numerous figures flashed out from behind the ball of cloud and mist that split open, and they were the young geniuses of the various cities that had entered the Soulcleanse Pool.
In next to no time, 29 people came out successively.
"Where's Elder Brother Duan?"
Feng Tianwu's beautiful face beneath the veil went slightly pale, and her beautiful eyes that were like autumn water contained slight worry mixed within.
"Young Miss, don't worry. With Brother Duan's ability, he'll absolutely be fine."
The nearby grey clothed old man shook his head and smiled, and his words were filled with confidence towards Duan Lingtian.
"City Governor Feng, then we'll be taking our leave first!"
The 29 City Governors led the young geniuses by their sides to bid farewell to Feng Wu Dao one after another.
Feng Wu Dao nodded lightly, and his gaze never left the ball of cloud and mist that split open. The entrance to the Soulcleanse Pool seemed to be waiting for something, and he utterly didn't look the 29 City Governors in the eye.
The 29 City Governors didn't dare be dissatisfied, and they each called over a flying demon beast before flying away.
For a time, only Feng Wu Dao's group of three and the little gold mouse remained within the vast gorge.
"Why hasn't Brother Duan come out yet? The Soulcleanse Pool's inscription formation is about to close. "
The old man looked at the cloud and mist that started to converge before him, and he frowned.
"Squeak squeak ~"
Right at this moment, the little gold mouse that had always been on Feng Tianwu's hand cried out before transforming into a golden light that shot into the cloud and mist that hadn't completely converged, and it entered the Soulcleanse Pool.
"Little Gold!"
Feng Tianwu's face went grim, and before Feng Wu Dao and the old man could react, her figure flashed out as if transforming into a ball of flames that fused into the cloud and mist.
"Wu!"
"Young Miss!"
Feng Wu Dao and the old man's faces went grim, and they didn't dare hesitate as both of them flashed out to follow her in.
Meanwhile, the cloud and mist had converged together, and the entrance to the Soulcleanse Pool had completely closed, and it would only open again three years later.
"Where's Little Gold? Little Gold, Little Gold … "
Feng Tianwu wasn't unfamiliar with the Soulcleanse Pool, as she'd come here three years ago. But, now that she'd entered the lakeside outside the Soulcleanse Pool, her beautiful face that was covered by the veil had an expression of worry.
"Little Gold, Little Gold!"
Feng Tianwu noticed that after the little gold mouse entered, she'd actually vanished without a trace.
Her gaze descended onto the Soulcleanse Pool. "Could it be that Little Gold has entered the Soulcleanse Pool?"
"I promised Elder Brother Duan that I would take good care of Little Gold …"
Suddenly, seeming to have thought of something, Feng Tianwu's beautiful eyes squinted as she turned over and entered the Soulcleanse Pool.
Meanwhile, Feng Wu Dao and the old man entered as well, and they just happened to see this scene, causing them to look at each other and laugh bitterly.
But they weren't worried, as the Soulcleanse Pool was only so big, and there wouldn't be any danger.
Especially when the old man's formidable Spiritual Force stretched out, and he was easily able to sense Feng Tianwu's location and confirm Feng Tianwu's safety.
"Elder Kong, do you have a way to get out?"
Feng Wu Dao sized up the grey and hazy clouds and mist around the Soulcleanse Pool, and he frowned slightly as he asked.
"No, I'm unable to break open this Inscription Formation."
Elder Kong had a serious expression, as an Inscription Formation was an existence he hadn't come into contact with. "This Inscription Formation can be said to be difficult, yet it can be said to be easy … But it's the ability of a Void Transformation Stage expert after all, and it's far from something I can see through. Perhaps, Brother Duan has a way. "
"Is your Spiritual Force able to detect the location of Duan Lingtian?"
Feng Wu Dao asked.
"No, my Spiritual Force is only able to touch the upper half of the Soulcleanse Pool … There's no trace of Brother Duan and that little gold mouse. Instead, the Young Miss is about to leave the range of my Spiritual Force, so I'll go down and take a look. "
As soon as the old man finished speaking, he flew out and fused into the Soulcleanse Pool.
Within the abode.
Duan Lingtian cultivated in meditation, and when he felt it was about time, he opened his eyes.
His face revealed a delighted expression, and he raised his hand with the intention of taking the Nether Soul Fruit.
However, this glance caused Duan Lingtian's face to go pale.
He saw that the plant was still there, yet the Nether Soul Fruit on it had vanished without a trace. "Where's the Nether Soul Fruit? Who took the Nether Soul Fruit? "
Duan Lingtian's expression was extremely unsightly, and his fierce gaze swept past as he started searching within the abode.
He could be sure that someone had surely seized the Nether Soul Fruit before him.
"Hmm?"
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian had noticed the culprit.
On the other side of the stone bed, a furry little gold mouse lay there, and it had fallen into a deep sleep.
A wisp of dark green liquid could be seen at the corner of its mouth.
The dark green liquid was suffused with strands of deep spirit energy.
"Little Gold, you … actually stole and ate my Nether Soul Fruit!"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian's feelings were complicated, and it was difficult to express with words.
Once he consumed the Nether Soul Fruit, it was able to allow his soul to advance by a few levels, and it was even to the extent of directly pursuing the soul of an ordinary Void Initiation Stage martial artist …
But now, all of this had transformed into the moon in the mirror, flowers in the water.
Whereas the culprit was precisely this infant Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse.
"This little fellow wouldn't be pretending to be asleep, right? Didn't I ask you to stay properly by Tian Wu's side? What did you come in for? "
Duan Lingtian grabbed the little gold mouse with slight helplessness, yet he noticed that the little gold mouse had indeed fallen into a deep sleep, and it was a deep sleep state.
"Looks like it's digesting the Nether Soul Fruit."
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart.
If it was another demon beast that stole and ate the Nether Soul Fruit, Duan Lingtian would kill it without the slightest hesitation.
But now, the one that stole and ate the Nether Soul Fruit was Little Gold, and Duan Lingtian could only grit his teeth and swallow this pain.
"Nevermind, I'll take it as helping you, little fellow."
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian came to an understanding and didn't think any further.
Presumably, Little Gold would be able to obtain great benefits after consuming the Nether Soul Fruit.
Little Gold was strong, and it was of great help to him.
The cycle of kindness.
"It's been three days, it's time to go out."
Duan Lingtian brought the little gold mouse along and dived into the underwater passageway before leaving the abode.
"This Little Gold was actually able to find this underwater passageway, it's really something … As expected of the descendant of the Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse."
As he moved about in the underwater passageway, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart.
"According to the memories of Samsara Emperor Wu, besides possessing brute strength, the Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse is also adept in soul attacks and knows some unfathomable soul skills … Only after attaining the level of Emperor Wu would a human martial artist be able to come into contact with the true essence of the soul and come into contact with the unfathomable soul attacks!"
"Soul attacks are commonly called as Spiritual Force attacks in Cloud Continent … There are many demon beasts with extraordinary natural talent that are able to execute Spiritual Force attacks before they become Demon Emperors. Amongst them is the Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse! "
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart.
Through the memories of Samsara Emperor Wu, he could deeply feel how terrifying Spiritual Force attacks were.
A single thought was sufficient to injure and shatter another's soul.
