138: Extracting the Soul's Essence

Above the Phoenix Perch Mountain headquarters of the Purple Thunder Pavilion, clouds gathered, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.

The next moment, a golden Dragon shadow appeared faintly within the dark clouds, exuding a powerful aura.

Beneath the thunderclouds, Xiao Lei grabbed the Medicinal Pill beasts that were scurrying everywhere.

Xiao Lei grabbed the rabbit Medicinal Pill beast by its ears, then handed it to Yun Yun.

"There should still be half a month until the Bodhi Ancient Tree fully appears. If you consume this 9-colored Medicinal Pill, you can rely on the Dou Qi Legacy within your body to reach 9-Star Dou Zun. At that time, you will proceed to the Ancient Wilderness Domain."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun was somewhat bewildered. She had been suddenly summoned by Xiao Lei today, thinking there was some arrangement within the Pavilion, but she never expected it was for the Bodhi Ancient Tree!

The Bodhi Ancient Tree was a peerless Opportunity coveted by countless factions, and since the Bodhi Ancient Tree was within the Purple Thunder Pavilion's sphere of influence, there was naturally no reason to give it up.

It was just that Yun Yun didn't expect it to be her!

Among the three Bodhi treasures, perhaps the only thing Xiao Lei could benefit from was comprehending under the Bodhi Ancient Tree. One must know that Xiao Lei now possessed many means, and had copied countless Dou Techniques... He needed an Opportunity to integrate them, and the Bodhi Ancient Tree was the most suitable.

"The Ancient Wilderness Domain is a somewhat special area. Ordinary Dou Saints would be repelled from it. Although with my cultivation, I could forcibly break in, colliding with the rules of this area would cause the other party to shatter. Your mission is to rush into the Ancient Tree's space, tear open a space scroll, and allow me to appear directly within the Ancient Tree's space."

"Additionally, this is a bodhi seed. It will allow you to sense the location of the Bodhi Ancient Tree and has other wondrous uses. Remember to always keep it in your hand!"

Xiao Lei had long planned today's events. He had prepared a large number of Puppets for Yun Yun in the Void Lightning Pool.

Each of these Puppets possessed battle power above 6-Star Dou Zun, born from combining the advantages of the Heavenly Demon Puppet and human Puppets, making them exceptionally sturdy and capable of releasing Dou Techniques.

With such battle power, they could sweep through anything as long as they didn't encounter a true Dou Saint, and there would be no Dou Saints in the Ancient Wilderness Domain!

Seeing all this, Yun Yun knew that everything had already been arranged by Xiao Lei, but she was more than willing. Even if she didn't obtain the Opportunity of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

She would agree to Xiao Lei's request without hesitation.

The next moment, a strange fire flew out from Xiao Lei's hand. It was inky black, carrying a faint Yin wind, and was exceptionally mystical.

The strange fire swirled, separating into a tiny sub-fire that merged into Yun Yun's body.

After the ancient clan's coming-of-age ceremony, Xiao Lei already possessed seventeen different strange fires, but only two were suitable for the wind attribute.

Thus, Yun Yun simultaneously possessed two sub-fires: the Wind Rage Dragon Flame and the Nine Nether Wind Flame... Many on the Continent coveted the Bodhi Ancient Tree, even the great Emperor Clans, who, amidst their struggles, sought out suitable individuals to contend for it, let alone others.

Even with the Purple Thunder Pavilion's scale, there was no way to completely stop these people.

Somewhere in the Beast Region, Jiu Feng concealed his aura, slowly moving towards the depths of the Ancient Wilderness Domain. His eyes were devoid of Life Qi, filled only with solidified killing intent and venom... As a 9-Star Dou Zun, as long as he did not become a Saint, he would remain an ant, unworthy of truly standing on the chessboard of the Fighting Qi Continent.

To seek revenge on the Purple Thunder Pavilion, the first step was to become a Saint!

Shi Po and Shi Ye, the siblings, held similar thoughts to Jiu Feng.

In the Ancient Wilderness Domain, the two ran for their lives, finally taking a brief rest after reaching the Ancient Wilderness Domain.

With the Shi Clan annihilated, the two fled for their lives.

Only then did Shi Ye dare to shed tears, crying loudly, tears streaming down her exquisite face, like a willow in the rain, no longer possessing her former brightness.

Shi Po remained silent, his lips tightly pressed together. The deep emotions within his body transformed into waves of heat, surging across his skin, but never turning into tears.

The Shi Clan only had him left as its pillar; he could not give up! He could not cry! He could not fall!

After a long while, the former wailing turned into quiet sobs, and then Shi Ye suddenly spoke, "Brother! I... we'll go find Pavilion Master Xiao, he will help us! He is the only one who can possibly avenge the Shi Clan!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Po, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly shouted, "Shi Ye! Don't fantasize!"

Shi Po's words immediately stunned Shi Ye, who propped herself up from his embrace.

From childhood, she had never seen Shi Po like this. Shi Clan people were inherently peaceful, and Shi Po was a prime example.

"My sister, why would Xiao Lei help us? The Shi Clan is gone. What do we have to negotiate with him? Now, let alone finding Xiao Lei, if we even show up in the Central Plains, we will immediately be attacked by the Hun Clan. They have been looking for us!"

The Hun Clan excelled in Soul, and the Hall of Souls, moreover, possessed a large number of tracking and searching methods. Shi Po never fantasized that the two had shaken off the Hun Clan's pursuit.

"Only by finding the Bodhi Heart! Only by becoming a Dou Saint can we have a chance at Life Qi!"

Shi Po's gaze was resolute, his desire for the Bodhi Heart reaching its peak... While everyone was fighting desperately for the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Xiao Lei was not idle. He brought Qing Lin to a secret room deep within the Purple Thunder Pavilion.

At the end of that secret room, an inky black stone door was embedded.

Xiao Lei had not been idle these days. He had directly moved the Ancient Ruins he had explored in the Skeleton Mountain Range back to the Purple Thunder Pavilion, connecting the two with space power, leaving behind this space door.

Pulled by Xiao Lei, the two walked through the space door and immediately arrived in a spacious grand hall.

In the grand hall, Zi Yan, Medusa, and Xiao Yi Xian were already waiting.

And in the center of the grand hall was a somewhat chilling grand formation, which Xiao Lei had forcibly dismantled from the Hall of Humans back then, used for extracting Soul Origin.

Upon seeing Xiao Lei, the three immediately reported their situations one by one.

Xiao Lei had dispatched them to various parts of the Central Plains to raid the various sub-halls of the Hall of Souls, and at the same time, hunt down Hall of Souls powerhouses to feed into the grand formation.

Of course, Xiao Lei did not act against the Hall of Heaven and the Hall of Earth, to avoid the Hun Clan from acting desperately.

Among the four major sub-Pavilion Masters, Qing Lin's strength was currently the lowest, only at the Late Stage of Four-Star Dou Saint, but her pupil technique was greatly related to Soul Strength. Xiao Lei wanted to find a way to first enhance her Soul Strength.

"Begin!"

There was no hint of reluctance, as most of the Soul bodies in the field were various enemies of the Purple Thunder Pavilion or members of the Hall of Souls.

After Xiao Lei spoke, the three women successively released many Soul bodies.

"Oh! Freedom..."

Before the words finished, a chain, propelled by Xiao Lei, swiftly flew out, directly piercing through the Soul body, then tearing and locking it onto the ground.

For a time, terrified, desperate wails echoed throughout the entire grand hall.

Xiao Lei, however, pushed the grand formation in his hand to its limit, and finally even directly threw a familiar Soul body.

Ling Yi!

He had never been made into a Puppet by Xiao Lei, for the sake of today.

Forming Soul Origin was not something that happened overnight.

At the same time, Yun Yun had already delved deep into the Ancient Wilderness Domain, arriving before the final barrier of beast groups.

Here, countless people who wished to pursue the Saint realm gathered...
