Invincible Soul Emperor

Liang Fei stumbled and fell, giving Qin Yue an innocent look. Qin Yue chuckled and reached out, lightly pointing at the Nurturing Heart Hall. The array energy that had blocked him immediately dissipated.

Liang Fei got up again. This time, unimpeded, he jogged up the steps of the Nurturing Heart Hall, pushed open the thirty-meter-high doors, and went inside.

Ye Qingchen and Qin Yue exchanged a glance before walking up the steps as well.

As soon as he entered the Nurturing Heart Hall, Ye Qingchen felt the strange array energy around him. ”This place seems to have some very powerful formations,” he remarked, puzzled.

Qin Yue nodded with a smile. ”You’re right. There are indeed many formations here, ranging from First-Level to Ninth-Level Arrays, and even First-Level to Ninth-Level Immortal Arrays! It’s precisely because of these formations that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Power from the entire Chaos Labyrinth can be gathered into the Nurturing Heart Hall. This allows one to better comprehend that power, achieve sudden enlightenment, and enhance their cultivation.”

After speaking, she couldn’t resist praising him. ”Qingchen, you’ve only been comprehending the Immortal Array Canon for a few days, yet you’ve already reached the level of a First-Grade Array Master. Now you can even sense the presence of Immortal Arrays. It seems your talent in the path of formations is no less than your Alchemic Talent.”

Ye Qingchen nodded thoughtfully. Perhaps it’s only because Qin Yue activated the formation that I was able to perceive the Immortal Array. Otherwise, how could I possibly do this, given my current Formation Realm?

As for my talent in formations, I don’t know if I’m exceptionally gifted, but having the Dual Pupil Martial Soul is basically an ultimate cheat.

When Liang Fei heard this, he couldn’t help but exclaim, ”A Ninth-Level Immortal Array? The strongest formation ever recorded on the Heaven Desolate Continent was only a First-Level Immortal Array! Even our continent’s strongest Array Master can’t break it, and you’re saying there’s a Ninth-Level one here?”

It was no wonder Liang Fei was so astonished; a Ninth-Level Immortal Array was truly beyond belief. If this were a Ninth-Level Killing Formation… though I’ve never heard of such a thing, I imagine it could annihilate an entire kingdom in a single thought. If I had a formation like that, I wouldn’t give a second thought to the Martial King Realm; even Martial Emperors would be beneath my notice. It’s just a pity I’m completely ignorant when it comes to formations.

At this, Liang Fei glanced at Ye Qingchen with envy and cursed inwardly, How can this guy be so lucky? He’s a prodigy in the Alchemy Dao, and now he’s this talented in formations, too. Does he plan on leaving anything for the rest of us?

Qin Yue just shook her head with a smile. ”You two should stay here to focus on your comprehension and improve your strength,” she said. ”I still have some things I need to integrate. The Chaos Labyrinth is about to close, so we don’t have much time left.”

Ye Qingchen and Liang Fei nodded, then sat down cross-legged in the great hall and began to focus earnestly on their cultivation.

Meanwhile, Qin Yue slowly floated into mid-air. All sorts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures appeared around her, which she promptly began to refine and absorb.

Ye Qingchen circulated the Divine Wood Technique, feeling countless streams of pure Spiritual Energy enter his body and nourish his Dantian’s Sea of Qi. At the same time, a strange energy entered his Sea of Consciousness. After circulating once, it converged in his Dantian. There, it began to circulate within his Sea of Qi, flowing alongside the Spiritual Energy through his meridians to every corner of his body.

The moment this peculiar energy entered his body, Ye Qingchen sensed its uniqueness. Both his Soul Power and Spiritual Power became unusually active upon contact with it. He could also feel his perception and Sea of Consciousness becoming exceptionally clear. Even his Willow Wood Martial Soul and Dual Pupil Martial Soul were slowly improving under its nourishment.

Could this be the Heaven and Earth Yuan Power that Yue’er mentioned? Ye Qingchen wondered. Qin Yue had said the Immortal Arrays here were designed to gather that very power. It was because of this Heaven and Earth Yuan Power that the Nurturing Heart Hall could not only enhance a Martial Artist’s strength but also increase their comprehension and innate talent.

I don’t know what this Heaven and Earth Yuan Power is, but I can feel my strength and talent steadily improving because of it. Since he couldn’t figure it out, Ye Qingchen decided not to dwell on it and focused instead on circulating the Divine Wood Technique to improve his strength. After all, since Yue’er brought me here, everything must be beneficial for me, without any harm. If there were anything to be cautious about, knowing how meticulous she is, she would have certainly explained it repeatedly.

Time flew, and a day passed in the blink of an eye. Qin Yue slowly opened her eyes.

Through the surrounding Immortal Arrays, Qin Yue could clearly perceive everything happening within the Chaos Labyrinth, giving her a perfect view of Ye Qingchen’s progress. She looked at the meditating Ye Qingchen, a knowing smile touching her lips. Qingchen, although the Nurturing Heart Hall is good, this is a case of forcing unnatural growth. It won’t be of great benefit to your future path.

With this in mind, Qin Yue waved her hand gently, and the other Martial Artists inside the Chaos Labyrinth were transported out one by one. She looked at Ye Qingchen and murmured to herself, ”The energy sustaining the Chaos Labyrinth is dwindling. Now that the labyrinth is closing, the Nurturing Heart Hall can hold on for a little while longer. As for what realm you can reach with this opportunity, Qingchen, that will depend entirely on your own fortune.”

After speaking, Qin Yue once again sat cross-legged in the void and closed her eyes to rest.

Outside the Chaos Labyrinth, elders from the various sects were gathered in small groups, waiting for their talented disciples to emerge. The labyrinth’s opening time was fixed, but its closing time was not. It could remain open for several months or end in as little as half a month. For that reason, none of them had left, worried their disciples might be suddenly ejected, leaving them confused and disoriented.

Just then, the still air began to ripple, followed by continuous flashes of white light. A figure appeared with each flash. A closer look revealed them to be the very disciples who had entered the Chaos Labyrinth.

The disciples all looked bewildered. One moment they were fighting Monster Beasts, and the next they were suddenly teleported out. Only after their sect elders explained what had happened did they realize the Chaos Labyrinth had closed.

Meanwhile, Liang Xiong and Xiao Ruoli were anxiously searching the crowd for any sign of Liang Fei and Ye Qingchen.
