Zhao Kuo died at the hands of Wei Chen, and Zhao Chen fell to Ji Mei. However, if one were to assign blame, it all falls on Wei Chen.
Zhao WujI arrived in person; what good could come of that?
A gentle expression flickered across Zhao WujI's face, but his eyes were filled with a chilling glare as he fixed his gaze on Wei Chen. The overwhelming pressure made Wei Chen unable to meet Zhao WujI's eyes. After a brief glance, he turned his head away.
"I pay my respects to the elders."
Wei Chen knelt and greeted them, his mind extremely alert. Zhao WujI was a renowned master among the teaching elders, someone he could not contend with; he could only wait for an opportunity to escape!
"Wei Chen, did you see our Beast Soul Line disciples Zhao Chen and Zhao Kuo last night?"
Zhao WujI's expression was calm, seemingly just a simple inquiry. Wei Chen's heart tightened, and he showed a look of confusion as he shook his head. "Last night I focused on my cultivation and was not disturbed in any way."
Wei Chen's tone was sincere, but the choice of words regarding being disturbed was quite deliberate. Zhao WujI snorted coldly but remained silent.
"Elder Yun, I practiced diligently through the night and have now reached the Great Perfection stage of the Spirit Realm, preparing to break into the Refined Realm." Wei Chen deliberately mentioned his cultivation level, leaving the elders present in shock. Elder Yun, Elder Mei, and others were speechless; even Zhao WujI looked at Wei Chen in astonishment.
When he had killed Zhao Song with a single finger, he was still at the seventh level of the Spirit Realm! How many hours had passed since then?
Once they regained their composure, a soft light shone in Elder Yun's eyes as she gently asked, "You reached the Great Perfection stage of the Spirit Realm so quickly? That truly is impressive; it must be one of the fastest advancements in the history of Cloud Spirit Sect."
Wei Chen appeared somewhat embarrassed by the praise, awkwardly scratching his head while inwardly sneering: "Zhao Yu's actions will definitely not implicate me. This old thief Zhao WujI must only suspect me without any solid evidence; I've easily diverted his attention."
Zhao WujI sighed lightly and said nothing more as he directly left the Council Hall and departed from the Flower Soul Lineage. His intention was merely to probe into Wei Chen's background, but he did not expect that Wei Chen would remain unfazed and show no signs of panic.
"Could it be that Zhao Chen and Zhao Kuo's deaths really have nothing to do with Wei Chen? With his strength, it should be impossible for him to kill both Zhao Chen and Zhao Kuo. However, Yuer is even weaker; there are many doubts surrounding this matter!" Zhao WujI's expression darkened. Losing Zhao Chen was a significant loss for both the Beast Soul Line and the Sui Kingdom's Zhao Family.
Not far outside the Flower Soul Lineage, Chu Fenglin—the first among the Inner Sect Disciples of Cloud Spirit Sect and a true leader among the disciples of Beast Soul Line—was kneeling before Zhao WujI with an extremely respectful demeanor.
"Chu Fenglin, you are my most valued disciple. With Zhao Chen now dead, your position in Beast Soul Line is unshakeable. Are you feeling quite pleased with yourself?" Zhao WujI said coldly.
Chu Fenglin looked up at Zhao WujI, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he replied, "Master, it would be impossible for me not to feel at least a little pleased; after all, Zhao Chen has always been a thorn in my side. However, I do not wish to see Beast Soul Line suffer from this loss of strength."
Zhao WujI's expression was cold, but after hearing Chu Fenglin's words, he nodded slightly, regarding Chu Fenglin with a bit more respect.
"This matter is full of doubts. You know what to do, right?"
"I understand."
"Wei Chen, you need to condense your Essence Martial Soul. Do you remember the rare flowers within the Flower Soul Lineage when you first became an outer disciple?"
Elder Yunyun and Elder Mei led Wei Chen toward a stone house. Wei Chen's mind stirred, and he respectfully asked, "Of course I remember. The Brahma Flower, born under a lightning strike, requires lightning attribute Soul Power for nourishment. I am curious about what benefits you promised Elder Wei that made him give up the hundred Soul Nourishing Pills proposed by Song He?"
Elder Yun revealed a bitter expression and shook his head. "Now is not the time for that. Let me first take you to see the Brahma Flower; it may help you in condensing your Essence Martial Soul."
In the Great Soul Realm, condensing a Martial Soul cannot solely rely on meditation to absorb Soul Power; there are shortcuts through 'plundering.' For example, disciples of the Beast Soul Line often venture deep into the mountains to hunt beasts, and their Martial Souls are often the Beast Souls of those they hunt.
Upon entering the stone house, Wei Chen saw only a stone table with a flower pot on it, within which bloomed a Brahma Flower.
The Brahma Flower was pale blue and not overly gaudy, revered as a flower of auspiciousness. Its shape was round like a full moon, and its white petals seemed to swirl like thousands of layers, exuding an aura of good fortune. The one on the table faintly radiated an imposing electric presence, with crackling currents wrapping around its stem.
"This Brahma Flower is inherently precious; it has been passed down in the Flower Soul Lineage for over a hundred years, and no one has ever been able to plunder it to condense their Martial Soul. After it was struck by lightning, it became even more extraordinary. Even the previous Master Ge Qiu Yang sought to plunder its Soul Power to condense his Spirit Wisdom Martial Soul and advance to the Sixth Rank Spirit Wisdom Realm, but unfortunately returned empty-handed."
Yun Yun introduced the preciousness of the Brahma Flower with a faint smile, but upon hearing Ge Qiu Yang's name, Wei Chen's expression turned strange as he thought to himself, "Ge Qiu Yang... according to Donghua's wine bottle method, he should be my senior brother."
"Elder, since so many people have tried and failed to plunder it, what chance do I have?" Wei Chen forced a smile.
"Just give it a try; maybe you'll succeed," Elder Mei chimed in. "As long as you can sense the Soul Power it emits and absorb it for condensation, it won't be difficult. This Brahma Flower is quite mystical; we don't even know how much power it truly possesses; you'll have to gauge that yourself."
The so-called method of plundering refers to absorbing Soul Power at close range when fierce beasts or rare flowers are weakened or even dying; this significantly increases the probability of condensing a Martial Soul.
"I'll give you the key to this stone house; you can come anytime," Elder Yun handed the key to Wei Chen. The elders offered some encouraging words before leisurely leaving, leaving space for Wei Chen.
"The Brahma Flower is said to be the king of flowers. If one can condense the Brahma Flower Soul within the Essence, it would undoubtedly be remarkable. Once in the Refined Realm, diving into the Alchemy Path to kill Song Qingshan would have a much higher success rate."
Wei Chen thought to himself as he sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed. He activated the Soul Refinement Technique, breathing rhythmically to absorb the wandering Soul Power around him. As he absorbed it, he carefully sensed the mixed aromas of Soul Power. However, with countless exotic flowers planted within the Flower Soul Lineage, finding the essence of the Brahma Flower among those Soul Power scents was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
As midnight approached, Wei Chen suddenly opened his eyes in the stone house, his gaze filled with joy.
"I finally found it! After distinguishing between thousands of types of Soul Power, I can't miss the Brahma Flower's essence. Its lightning attribute is just perfect for me."
Wei Chen grinned and focused on the Brahma Flower. In the darkness, that flower resembled a sea of stars, swaying gracefully and exuding beauty.
"Now that I've located its Soul Power essence, it's simple. I just need to concentrate on absorbing the Soul Power emitted by this Brahma Flower." Wei Chen closed his eyes again and activated the Soul Refinement Technique. The strands of Soul Power released by the Brahma Flower wrapped around his body like threads, all being absorbed into him and converging towards the Essence.
"At this rate, it's far from enough. I wonder how long it will take to condense an Essence Martial Soul." Wei Chen knew that cultivation was a gradual process, but the marriage between Song Qingshan and Weirou weighed heavily on his heart; he had no time to waste.
Time passed as Wei Chen remained motionless in the stone house. He was still far from being able to condense the Brahma Flower Soul's Soul Power.
The attributes and might of a Martial Soul determined one's progress in that cultivation realm; the more precious a Martial Soul was, the harder it was to successfully condense.
"If I chose a common flower soul instead, I probably would have succeeded by now." Wei Chen felt conflicted—should he abandon this precious Brahma Flower just to kill Song Qingshan?
Just then, an unexpected change occurred with the Black Lotus in his soul. It began spinning wildly in his Sea of Consciousness, accelerating from slow to fast. All eight petals unfurled, and one petal flew away from the Demon Lotus, diving into Wei Chen's Essence through his meridians!
As soon as that petal entered Wei Chen's Essence, it instantly absorbed all of the Soul Power emitted by the Brahma Flower that he had painstakingly gathered. Such a strange occurrence was likely something no one in Soul Great Land could explain clearly.
Typically, a Soul Warrior must absorb as much of a specific attribute's Soul Power as possible to enter the next major realm. They would then rely on their previous Martial Soul to drive vast amounts of Soul Power within their body to impact their soul residence. Once that impact occurred, only then could that specific attribute's Soul Power enter its corresponding soul residence, thus successfully condensing a new Martial Soul.
At this moment, however, Wei Chen lacked sufficient Brahma Flower Soul power and had not yet triggered his internal Soul Power to impact his Essence. Yet somehow, the Brahma Flower's Soul Power entered his Essence—an incredibly bizarre phenomenon.
The black petal enveloped the Brahma Flower's Soul Power like it did with the Spirit of Thunder, forming a black halo around the Brahma Flower Soul. It was as if an additional layer of black radiance appeared over the sea of stars, making it shine even brighter!
After everything was completed, the Brahma Flower in Wei Chen's Essence seemed to sway gently as if stirred by the spring breeze, its rhythmic movements becoming more pronounced. Inside the stone house, the release of Soul Power from the Brahma Flower suddenly accelerated by billions of times. In just half an hour, the flower gradually withered, and all of its Soul Power entered Wei Chen's Essence.
"Truly impressive, this is the same flower that nearly annihilated Soul Great Six, it's terrifying. Was it really this simple to successfully condense my Essence Martial Soul?" Wei Chen could clearly sense everything happening within his body. The Demon Lotus in his soul now had only seven petals left. Meanwhile, the Brahma Flower had almost completely transferred into his Essence, becoming a true Essence Martial Soul.
Once the Essence Martial Soul was condensed, there was no need to absorb pure attribute Soul Power anymore; any Soul Power could be absorbed. This would allow him to channel Soul Power to impact acupoints and steadily advance in the Refined Realm.
"Breaking through the Minor Acupuncture Point means I will reach the first level of the Refined Realm. I still have some Soul Power Pills; let's get started."
At midnight on the second day, a shadow darted through the Alchemy Path. Not far away, two outer disciples of the Alchemy Path were trudging along, looking dispirited. One of them complained, "It's really unlucky that we have to patrol tonight. Tomorrow is Brother Song's big day; we can't miss out on all the excitement!"
"Why don't we find a place to take a quick nap? Who would come to cause trouble in the Alchemy Path at this hour?"
The two quickly agreed and stopped to look for a spot where they could rest for a while.
Just then, a shadow hidden in the darkness leaped down from above, silent as an eagle swooping down on its prey. In an instant, it tackled one of them, delivering a brutal punch that struck the back of his head, knocking him unconscious.
The other disciple was about to scream when an iron grip clamped down hard on his throat!
"Don't scream, or I'll crush your neck!"
A chilling voice reached the disciple's ears. He turned slightly and met a pair of deep, murderous eyes staring back at him.
"Take me to Song Qingshan's residence. If you dare play any tricks, I'll serve you a dose of Soul Dissolution Powder!"
