In this small room, there was a short silence. After Hua Xin spoke, Elder Gu didn't know what to say. He just looked at Hua Xin with a strange gaze, as if he wanted to cut Hua Xin into pieces for research. Hua Xin couldn't help but shudder, and quietly moved away from Elder Gu. "Alright, I'll ask you after I torture you." Compared to Elder Gu, Gu Zheng did not have as many thoughts. At the very least, he had seen many things and had a rough idea of how to deal with this group of people. He knew a lot about them and could guess what they were thinking. This time, it was Hua Xin's turn to be stunned. She did not expect the other party to not play by the rules. But when she saw that he was really walking towards her, she panicked. "I'll talk, I'll talk. Don't torture me." Hua Xin was just pretending to be tough. She immediately gave in when she heard that. She was prepared to confess anyway, so she wouldn't have to suffer an undeserved punishment. "That's good. It's better for both of us to be honest. If you dare to play any tricks, I'll lock you up forever." Gu Zheng remembered that Meng Zhen said that their clan was most afraid of being imprisoned. Even if each of them had a drawing paper as a spirit treasure that formed a space of its own, they could absorb the enemy into it to defend against the enemy. Indeed, after hearing Gu Zheng's words, she looked at Gu Zheng with fear in her eyes. She subconsciously moved away from Gu Zheng. Compared to Elder Gu, Gu Zheng was even more terrifying! "Elder Gu, let's go. I'll bring you to see that thing." After that, Gu Zheng and the group hurried towards the mountain range not far away. This mountain range was not very big. It was the most inconspicuous mountain range in the vicinity. It was not big because it was compared to the deeper parts of the mountain range. In front of them, there was still an endless stretch of ten thousand miles. It was just that it was empty. Other than rocks, there was nothing else. It was extremely desolate. Other than the black fog that appeared from time to time. "Don't tell me you're thinking of using the energy here?" Walking in the mountain range, Hua Xin suddenly thought of something. "Cut the crap. Since you already know, all you need to do is to open the door." Gu Zheng ignored him and continued to lead them forward. After turning left and right, they quickly came to a small valley. Elder Gu saw at a glance that there was a hidden array on the mountain wall, as if it was hiding something. "What exactly is this place?" Elder Gu could not help but ask at this moment. "It's very simple. This is a water vein. It can also be said to be a fixed Soul River. It is filled with endless birth power. However, we have sealed it. No one can get close to this place. How do you know about this place?" Hua Xin did not have the awareness of being a captive. Instead, she walked forward curiously and looked around. After all, she had only heard of this place and had never been here with her own eyes. "The Demonic Souls born here are different from others. They don't seem to have any intelligence and only know how to attack like crazy. Even they couldn't solve the problem. That's why they sealed this place, at least to prevent them from coming out and causing trouble." Gu Zheng ignored the other party's question. He stepped forward and destroyed the concealment array in a few moves, revealing a pitch-black hole. Although Elder Gu was a little confused, he still followed in. As for Hua Xin, she followed behind as if she was searching for treasure. The excitement in her eyes made it obvious that she was curious. In this spacious cave, there was no danger. After walking for half an hour, a huge cave appeared in front of them. Other than a circle of space at the edge for people to rest, everything else was occupied by boiling black water. It was like a pot of boiling water. Bubbles kept rising and popping below. "This is the thing you were talking about?" Elder Gu looked at the black water in front of him. It was completely different from the black water outside. It was as thick as magma. Even on the surface of the lake, there was a faint layer of protection that sealed the bottom. He could still feel the violent aura inside. On the other hand, the black water that was as smooth as a stream outside was as obedient as a child compared to the black water in front of him. It was even comparable to the roaring Soul Stream. The only difference was that the Soul Stream was too long. A large part of the birth power behind it had been weakened. "Of course, this is it. Hua Xin, remove the protection." Gu Zheng nodded and looked at the lake in front of him. "I don't know how to!" Hua Xin said straightforwardly. In fact, she really didn't know how to break the seal, even though the seal was set up by the Painting Spirit Tribe. "If it's that simple, do you still need me to teach you? Take out a strand of your Soul Heart and engrave it on it. Just engrave it along the meridians. "Gu Zheng looked at Hua Xin and ordered directly. "You're not from the Demon Soul Tribe. How do you know so much? You even know how to break the seal. " Hua Xin stared at Gu Zheng with her eyes wide open. Her eyes kept scanning him as if he was a hidden Demon Soul. Apart from their clan, there were very few people outside who knew about the existence of soul hearts. "Of course I know. I said that I have a very good relationship with one of your successors," Gu Zheng recalled what Meng Zhen had said before and said. She didn't mention this place and only mentioned it briefly. However, out of curiosity, he asked a few more times and found out how to break the seal. One should know that when they were looking for the exit and killing time, Meng Zhen had said a lot. Although it was limited to what she knew, Gu Zheng had also said a lot about the outside world. "Do you think I'll believe you? If it were someone else, you might be able to fool them. Do you know who I am?" Hua Xin looked at Gu Zheng with disdain and continued. "I'm one of the successors …" Hua Xin dragged her words and looked at Gu Zheng from the corner of her eyes. Obviously, she wanted to wait for him to continue asking. However, she was disappointed. Gu Zheng and the rest didn't even look at her. They were still looking in front of them as if they were thinking about something. When she saw that Gu Zheng and the rest didn't care at all and were instead whispering at the side, she couldn't help but feel depressed. She felt as if her heart was blocked. She didn't continue to drag on their appetite and quickly finished her sentence. "I'm just one of the subordinates of one of them. However, I'm Miss Meng's subordinate. After her return this time, her cultivation base has increased greatly. It's very likely that she'll be the next clan leader." "You're not. With your cultivation base, who would believe you? Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and break the seal in front of you. We still have important things to do." After Hua Xin finished speaking, Gu Zheng turned around and said to Hua Xin casually. It was as if he was arranging a trivial matter and didn't care at all. In fact, when he first saw Hua Xin, he already knew some information. She had a faint aura of Meng Zhen. It was obvious that she had seen Meng Zhen recently. He only knew that Meng Zhen could break the seal, but he didn't know how to do it. He also didn't know if Hua Xin had the ability to do so. He would take a gamble. After all, he still had a solution even if he lost. It would just take a little more effort and be a little troublesome. When Hua Xin saw Gu Zheng, she turned her face away again. Ordering her was like ordering his subordinates. This made her gnash her teeth in hatred. However, when she thought about it carefully, her current situation was worse than the other party's subordinates. For the sake of her little life, although she kept complaining in her heart, she still smiled and nodded. Then, she started to cast her spell. She took out the small Qingluo Fan that she always carried around with her. Originally, there were pictures of mountains and rivers on it. As she danced, ripples started to appear on it. It was as if everything inside had come alive. Hua Xin had already started to perform a beautiful dance. Her long sleeves danced lightly and gracefully. She was like an agile butterfly that kept jumping around and blooming her own magnificence. One couldn't help but be immersed in it and admire it carefully. "The Painting Soul Clan can be said to be the most noble Soul Clan here. Even that person is very wary of them. If it weren't for the fact that there aren't so many of them and that their current clan leader is suppressing them, I'm afraid the two of them wouldn't even look so close." Looking at the dots of white fluorescent light, as Hua Xin danced, dots of fluorescent light emerged from the surface of the fan. They were like fireflies that kept falling in front of them. In a short period of time, the area in front of them was already covered with white fluorescent light. "Oh? Elder Gu seems to know a lot? Is there something that we can use to help us? "Gu Zheng was a little surprised. Then, he looked at Elder Gu in confusion. "I got the information from that Demon Soul. It can't be considered a help. I'm not that capable. However, it seems that there are things that you don't know. You definitely don't know why there's a gap between them. This is something that I've only figured out recently. Although there are some things that I don't completely understand, at least I understand the meaning of this place." Elder Gu looked at Gu Zheng's blank expression and felt a little proud. After all, the other party was a freak. From the moment he appeared, he kept breaking Elder Gu's understanding. She felt that he knew everything. In the eyes of the other party, great difficulties were like very ordinary things. She didn't see any panic at all. Anyway, she had never seen someone more freakish than him. He was even more freakish than a freak. "Don't know what to say?" Seeing that Hua Xin still needed some time, Gu Zheng asked curiously. Hearing her words, he felt a little dizzy. He didn't hear any gap from Meng Zhen's side. Moreover, it seemed that the two of them were very close. "Let's start from their origins and this world. It's complicated to explain, and I don't understand it, but I know that the race behind Lord Jin, as well as the races we saw before, were all born here. However, there are two exceptions. They were born in another place." Elder Gu didn't keep Gu Zheng in suspense, and he directly said. "The Painting Soul behind Hua Xin, as well as the one behind the Ghost Generals, are not from this world. From the information that I've studied, they should be from a relatively stable Small Chiliocosm. This also explains why the other party is so powerful and so few in number." Gu Zheng didn't expect this result and was stunned for a moment. He kept thinking in his mind. He originally thought that there was an even more mysterious place that could give birth to them. However, after thinking about it carefully, there weren't many Painting Souls. They were basically at the center of the palace. They were also very powerful. Even the weakest among them was above the middle stage of Jin Xian. There were also quite a number of Grand Luo. If one didn't look at that person, in terms of strength, they weren't inferior to the Ghost Generals. However, the Ghost Generals were the subordinates of that person. Moreover, the Ghost Generals were at least at the level of Grand Luo. Their strength was sky-high as if they were born this way. There was no lower strength at all. They were simply tyrannical. Of course, there were even fewer of them. In total, there weren't many of them. Similarly, most of them stayed in the palace and didn't go out to war to expand their territory. Although they occupied at least 70% of the resources in this barren place, the outside world was scattered and the resources weren't concentrated. There was also no place that was worth occupying. Furthermore, from what he knew, the other party had taken in the Demon Souls that were born outside and brought them back. Logically speaking, the number of Demon Souls should have been enormous. However, Gu Zheng suddenly thought of a problem. That was, if the other party was really willing to get rid of Lonely Peak and Soul Alliance, they could pay a huge price to completely deal with the other party. However, they didn't do so and continued to make small fights. Instead, they allowed the two to continuously grow stronger. This time, from the information he eavesdropped on, the other party had clearly found a way to get rid of Soul Alliance once and for all. However, the time span was a little too long. Wasn't it a little too late? Why didn't they get rid of them from the start? It would have been so easy to monopolize this place. Of course, the biggest possibility was that they didn't care earlier. If they waited for the other party to grow stronger and then tried to contain them, they would have already suffered great losses. Thus, they dragged it out day by day. Here came the problem. Where did the huge group that the other party accumulated go? Moreover, without dealing with their internal problems, they wanted to establish a stronghold in the wilderness. It was truly strange. This was the question that Gu Zheng suddenly thought of. Looking at Elder Gu's unchanged expression, she had clearly thought of it as well. Elder Gu looked at Gu Zheng's probing gaze and lightly shook her head, indicating that she didn't know why either. "Huu, it's done!" Just at this moment, Hua Xin's body stopped. Her entire body was drenched in sweat. She took a deep breath before speaking. Her tone had an indescribable joy. Combined with her sincere gaze, she seemed to have a conviction that she wouldn't disgrace her mission. Gu Zheng, whose thoughts had been interrupted, didn't plan on thinking any further. There was too little information and he couldn't deduce any further. No matter what the other party did, there was nothing he could do now. He cast his gaze forward. At this moment, the two paths of white dots were constantly collapsing. However, the originally thin and tough layer of protection had already disappeared. Moreover, it didn't cause any abnormalities. In other words, unless one personally came to look, no one would be able to discover the situation inside. "How is it? What do you want to do? We can't control this place. Do you want to control it too? Stop dreaming. As long as the Black Souls or Spectral Souls born here leave, they will be able to discover this place. At that time, there will definitely be people coming to investigate. At that time, you will be exposed. " Hua Xin looked as if she was thinking for them. Those who didn't know would think that she was one of Gu Zheng's people. Gu Zheng glanced at Hua Xin, who had expended a lot of energy, and nodded in satisfaction. He didn't care about the other party's probing. He knew what the other party was thinking. However, since he dared to open it, he must have a way to solve all of this. "Gulu gulu." Without waiting for Gu Zheng to explain, the surface of the lake in front of them, which was already boiling, became even more intense. In the blink of an eye, dozens of black bubbles actually rose from below. It was like a hot air balloon. It was originally only the size of a fist. Every time it rose a little, it would expand a little. Its speed was extremely fast. When it reached mid-air, it seemed to have reached the other party's upper limit. A huge black cocoon floated there, and below it was a black water ribbon. It was like a baby's umbilical cord, connected to the lake surface. They didn't stop it. Instead, they looked at the process of the Demon Soul's formation with interest. Although they couldn't see any movement from the outside, they could feel a tyrannical power from the black ribbon. It was continuously channeling into the huge cocoon above. They could clearly feel that something was forming inside. However, under the protection of the huge cocoon formed by the black water flow, even they couldn't know what was inside. The black lake that had been suppressed for an unknown amount of time could finally start to produce Demon Souls. Just as the first batch was still brewing, the second batch had already risen from the side. Compared to the huge lake surface, it didn't take up much space. The difference was that it was boiling and could emerge at any time. However, there was only a passageway behind Gu Zheng and the others. In addition, they were bold and skilled, so they weren't afraid of these Demon Souls at all. This was because the Demon Souls that were born couldn't possibly break through to the Grand Heavenly Realm. Thousands of Demon Souls didn't make much of a difference to them. "Bang." Not long after, the surface of the huge cocoon that came out first suddenly lit up. A black light flashed, and then the huge cocoon began to tremble slightly in mid-air. One could vaguely see a shadow inside, struggling to come out. "Rip." A thick black arm broke out of the black cocoon. Then, using that as a breakthrough, it continued to tear in all directions. In just a few moves, it tore open a large enough space. A familiar figure jumped out from it and landed on the surface of the black lake below. After the black cocoon came out, it seemed to have completed its mission. It turned into a wisp of black mist and dissipated in the air. "Roar." A very excited roar came out from the other party's mouth. Countless black gas emerged from the black lake and spread up from its feet. It was like a dense and thin black mist shrouding the outside of its body. It was constantly being absorbed by the other party. The body that was originally a little loose began to tighten and condense. The weak and unstable aura that came out was also stabilized under the nourishment of the black mist. Only at this time did the Demonic Soul that was born first take large strides towards Gu Zheng. Its eyes flashed with an extremely excited gaze, as if it had seen its prey and could not wait to enjoy it. "Pa." On its way forward, a huge black cocoon seemed to suddenly leak air and fell from the sky. It smashed into the thick lake below and made a sound. Although it had already fallen and lost the supply below, it could still be seen that there was a figure inside. It was actually also trying to come out. Suddenly, two bone swords as white as jade pierced straight out from below. As they rotated, a huge gap appeared from above. Then, a similarly white jade head popped out from below. It turned its head and looked around, seeing this world for the first time. However, what welcomed it was an extremely thick leg that slowly grew in front of its eyes. Then, it discovered that its weak head had been ruthlessly smashed by the other party. It flew out from its original position and spun in the distance. As for the culprit, it did not notice at all. It was still accelerating towards its prey. To it, it was just a fellow that was in the way.
