Primordial Emperor

With the second soul attached to the Nuwa Stone, coupled with the main soul, Lin Chen now has three souls.

The soul splitting technique of the Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique is incredibly profound. Even if the main soul is destroyed, Lin Chen's main soul and soul split share divine sense, allowing the soul split to revive and transform into the main soul.

As the third soul coalesced, Lin Chen's Divine Soul split into two, immediately subjecting him to immense pain, and both souls became exceedingly weak.

Although the Soul Splitting Technique is powerful, at the beginning of the split, the soul is weakened, and Lin Chen hurriedly used the power of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron to immediately nourish his soul.

These two souls, with the main soul inside his body, left the third soul in the space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron since there was no suitable body to contain it at the moment.

It must be said that the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron possesses incredibly heaven-defying abilities, being able to nourish and store the soul.

One must know, if the soul has no vessel to rely on, it would inevitably weaken until it dissipates.

However, the space within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron not only prevents the soul from dissipating but also has the function of nourishing it.

The third soul stored in the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron will not weaken even without a temporary vessel.

After all, the spiritual formations within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron have the ability to nourish the soul, making it grow stronger instead of weaker within them.

In the future, as long as Lin Chen finds a powerful corporeal vessel for the third soul, this soul can become a powerful aid like the second soul, to some extent even being Lin Chen himself.

Lin Chen's two souls were both being repaired and nourished within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, restoring the souls depleted by division.

In a blink, ten days passed.

During the time Lin Chen's souls were recovering, he was unaware that elsewhere in Yunlong City, someone was plotting a conspiracy against him.

Yunlong City, the Liu Family, one of the Eight Great Noble Families.

At this moment, in a dark secret chamber underground of the Liu Family.

"Lord Messenger!"

Liu Yong walked into the secret chamber, slowly approaching the black-clothed man sitting cross-legged on the bed in the chamber, and said calmly.

The man in black was healing, with flowing lights flickering on him, exuding an extraordinary aura.

This black-clothed man was none other than Hei Xuan, an attendant from the Black Yan Hall. During the second assessment of Yunlong Heavenly Palace's secret realm, he attempted to attack Lin Chen but was severely injured by Lin Chen's Thunder Chasing Arrow Feather and Little Profound Turtle and had to flee.

After Zhang Hongying and others left the assessment secret realm, they immediately informed Elder Zhao of Yunlong Heavenly Palace, who then notified the upper echelons of Yunlong Heavenly Palace, but ultimately, they couldn't locate the whereabouts of the man in black.

No one would have imagined that this guy would hide in the secret chamber of the Liu Family, one of the Eight Great Noble Families of Yunlong Heavenly Palace.

Nor would anyone have thought that the Liu Family, one of the Eight Great Noble Families in Yunlong City, would collude with people from the Black Yan Hall.

"How's the matter going, has the young man been killed?"

The black-clothed man slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on Liu Yong before him, and asked indifferently.

As he was about to leave Yunlong Heavenly Palace's secret realm, he entrusted the task of eliminating Lin Chen to Liu Yong.

One must know, the original task of the man in black was to kill the Heavenly Pride in the recruitment of Yunlong Heavenly Palace, aiming at the top ten heroes of Yunlong Heavenly Palace.

But unexpectedly, Lin Chen came midway.

After perceiving Lin Chen's powerful talent, the man in black immediately changed the task, putting aside the Eight Great Heroes, and turning his focus to Lin Chen.

Especially in the second assessment secret realm, Lin Chen's archery posed a deadly threat to him.

If this person isn't eliminated, he will surely be a formidable enemy of Black Yan Hall in the future.

Upon hearing the black-clothed man's words, Liu Yong's complexion turned unpleasant, and he smiled bitterly.

"Returning to the Lord Attendant, the young man you instructed me to settle is called Lin Chen."

"Lord Attendant, you may not know, although this kid's cultivation isn't high, he has many tricks. I...I'm not his match."

Recalling his defeat at Lin Chen's hands, Liu Yong replied with a grim expression.

"What, you're actually no match for that guy?"

"You must be kidding, that kid is merely at the fifth level of the Nirvana realm. Even though his archery is peculiar and powerful, if you prevent him from using it, he shouldn't be your match. How could you lose?"

The black-clothed man looked at Liu Yong, surprised in disbelief.

Hearing the man in black's words, Liu Yong sighed.

"I don't know the exact strength of that kid's archery."

"But his strength is overwhelming; I couldn't withstand his physical strength."

"Moreover, that guy seems to be a body cultivar."

Looking at the man in black, Liu Yong dared not hide anything and recounted his encounter with Lin Chen in Yunlong Heavenly Palace.

"What, that guy actually beat you with just physical strength?"

The blackie was extremely shocked by Liu Yong's words.

Moreover, according to Liu Yong's account, Lin Chen's cultivation leveled up.

From Liu Yong's words, it seems Lin Chen's cultivation broke through to the sixth layer of the Nirvana realm, multiplying his combat power several times, and he knocked Liu Yong down with a single punch.

Upon hearing Liu Yong's words, Hei Xuan found it hard to believe.

Liu Yong was also helpless during the recounting.

If not for personally experiencing it, he wouldn't have believed that there exists such a terrifying martial artist at merely the sixth layer of the Nirvana realm.

The man in black listened to Liu Yong's account and remained silent.

He knew Liu Yong wouldn't dare deceive him about this.

After pondering for a moment, the man in black took out a jade token and tossed it to Liu Yong.

"Take this and go to Yunlong Heavenly Palace to find someone named Ao Guang. Tell him his mission this time is to kill Lin Chen, regardless of revealing his identity: this goal must be achieved."

The man in black handed Liu Yong the token, speaking faintly.

Hearing this, Liu Yong quickly nodded.

"Rest assured, Lord Attendant."

Liu Yong accepted the token, then left without further disturbing the man in black's healing.

...

Under the bright moon in the sky, the night was as black as lacquer, the stars shining brightly.

Liu Yong invited a gray-robed man to a dense forest within the outer sect.

"Liu Yong, what urgent matter do you have to meet me here?"
