Chapter 336: The Black-Corner Region’s Soul Hall Stirs!
Chapter 336: The Black-Corner Region’s Soul Hall Stirs!
While Liu Ling was testing the sword, Gu He immersed his mind completely into the system space.
In the system space, beside the pitch-black Abyssal Demon Flame, there appeared an equally massive flame shaped like a giant lotus, radiating a green glow.
With these two flames present, the temperature in the system space had reached an extremely terrifying level. If not for the system's suppression, the two flames, with their somewhat opposing attributes, would have collided long ago.
Fixing his gaze on the green lotus-shaped flame, Gu He noticed a faint, slender figure of a girl at the base of the lotus. Following this, a row of information appeared in Gu He's mind.
Green Lotus Sacred Flame: A holy flame formed deep within the core of the Great Thousand World over tens of thousands of years, possessing a terrifying temperature capable of incinerating everything…
After reading the information about the Green Lotus Sacred Flame, Gu He couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that to devour and refine these Green Lotus Sacred Flame and Abyssal Demon Flame, I need to at least break through to the Dou Saint level!"
Both flames had already taken a source form and possessed the powerful strength of mid-tier Dou Saints. With Gu He's current cultivation, even with the Divine Fire Technique and his life flame, refining them would be too dangerous. Only by advancing to the Dou Saint realm would he dare to attempt it.
As Gu He withdrew his mind from the system space, he saw Liu Ling sweating profusely from testing the sword.
"Liu Ling, don’t push yourself. The materials of the Flame Demon Sword are special, making it extremely heavy. You need to reach at least the Dou King level to control it freely!"
Hearing Gu He's words, Liu Ling smiled awkwardly and handed the Flame Demon Sword back to Xiaojin.
"These pills will help you refine the Green Lotus Core Flame. Also, keep the Void Jade Talisman safe!"
As Gu He spoke, he handed two white jade bottles and a Void Jade Talisman to Liu Ling.
Taking the Void Jade Talisman, Liu Ling knew that Gu He was about to leave, and he felt reluctant.
"Master, I will train hard and fly back to the sect on my own!" Liu Ling promised excitedly.
After he finished speaking, the space around Gu He suddenly twisted, and he disappeared before their eyes.
...
After leaving Stone Desert City, Gu He reappeared on a dune a hundred miles away, with his clone standing in front of him.
"Unexpectedly, just as I left, the elder of the Soul Hall branch in the Black-Corner Region rushed back!"
Sensing the message from his soul clone, Gu He frowned.
The elder of the Soul Hall had the strength of a peak four-star Dou Ancestor, while Gu He's soul clone was only a three-star Dou Ancestor. Over time, the elder might discover the strength of the soul clone.
So, Gu He planned to send his clone to the Black-Corner Region while the elder was busy investigating the significant changes there.
Using the ancient seed technique, once the clone defeated the elder, it could plant a puppet seed in his soul, perfectly controlling him. At that time, the Soul Hall forces in the Black-Corner Region would all be under Gu He's command, and he could keep track of the Soul Hall's movements.
Having made his arrangements, the clone transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot towards the Black-Corner Region.
...
Previously, after orchestrating a play with his clone, Gu He finally succeeded in bringing Queen Medusa under his fold. However, since the clone could not transmit techniques like Gu He's true self, he arranged for the clone to temporarily leave Queen Medusa.
"Cai Lin should be on her way to the Snake-People Tribe's temple by now!"
Gu He murmured to himself, then remembered something and lightly tapped the white spatial ring on his finger. Instantly, the figure of an old man in a white robe slowly emerged from the ring.
Once the old man appeared, he quickly scanned his surroundings. Realizing he was in a desert rather than the crimson magma world, his old face showed intense excitement.
"Haha, I, Yao Tianhuo, have finally seen the light of day again!" The old man laughed heartily.
"Tianhuo Venerable, it must have been tough staying in that ring for so long!" Seeing the old man's reaction, Gu He teased with a smile.
Hearing Gu He's tease, Tianhuo Venerable fixed his gaze on Gu He and laughed, "Venerable Gu, you're too kind. I endured in that magma for hundreds of years; a few months in the ring is nothing!"
After saying this, Tianhuo Venerable suddenly remembered something important and asked suspiciously, "Venerable Gu, did you go to the bottom of that magma?"
"I did!" Hearing Tianhuo Venerable's question, Gu He nodded slightly without hiding anything.
Getting Gu He's confirmation, Tianhuo Venerable felt extremely complex.
When they went to the bottom of the magma together, Tianhuo Venerable had seen with his own eyes two old flame lizard men, entirely white. He had guessed that the strength of those two was several times stronger than his peak.
Considering the terrifying beings guarding that place, Tianhuo Venerable felt a chill just thinking about it. Yet, Gu He managed to come out unscathed.
Although Tianhuo Venerable felt shocked, he wisely chose not to ask further questions.
"Seeing your current state, you seem much better than before." Noticing Tianhuo Venerable's reaction, Gu He changed the subject with a smile.
"Thanks to the soul-restoring elixirs you gave me, Venerable Gu!" Tianhuo Venerable said gratefully, looking at Gu He with some anticipation.
"Hehe, Tianhuo Venerable, in some time, I'll find you a suitable body, and then we'll figure out how to revive you!" Seeing the look on Tianhuo Venerable's face, Gu He chuckled.
"Venerable Gu, if you keep your promise, I will do my utmost to serve you!"
Realizing that Gu He hadn't forgotten his promise, Tianhuo Venerable felt even more grateful.
"For now, stay in the ring and follow me. Just know that I might occasionally block the ring's connection to the outside world as before."
After saying this, Gu He's appearance suddenly changed, transforming into the clone's form, with even his aura shifting slightly.
Hearing Gu He's words and seeing the changes in him, Tianhuo Venerable was surprised but only nodded heavily without asking.
"Let's go. This is the Tagore Desert, and we need to head to the central area first!"
