Although he didn't know why there was such a big war flag, he had already taken the money to eliminate the disaster. Since he was already here, he didn't care about anything else. Moreover, there were many fierce beasts here, so he would feel more at ease if he set up more.
While everyone was setting up, Xiang Kui had always been under a towering tree, as if he was checking if there were any fierce beasts approaching.
After checking and confirming that there were no fierce beasts around, Xiang Kui looked at Qin Yu and said, "Junior Brother Li, come here." With that, he waved his right hand, and a fist-sized fierce beast soul appeared in his palm.
"Try using the Soul Catcher." Xiang Kui sent a sound transmission.
Qin Yu did not hesitate. He raised both of his hands, and the soul power in his body surged into his palms. A weak vortex appeared in his palms, and although the vortex was not big, it instantly devoured the beast soul.
"Not bad!"
"That's it." Xiang Kui nodded in satisfaction.
"When I'm comprehending later, there might be a Mountain Soul that will disturb me. You only need to help me use the Soul Catcher to devour the other Mountain Souls. After that, I'll guide you in the Soul Dao when we return to the sect." Xiang Kui warned.
"Alright." Qin Yu nodded.
Three days later.
After Zhu Yuan and Zhao Jin finished setting up the formations and restrictions within a radius of thirty miles, and Xu Guanlin and Yu Ziming finished setting up the sword formations, Xu Guanlin said to Kui, "Everyone, because I'm trying to comprehend the Mountain Soul here to improve my Dao of Soul, I might be attacked by the Mountain Soul.
Don't let your guard down. "
"Attract the Mountain Soul?"
Everyone's faces darkened. Although Xiang Kui did not say it before, they had already guessed it. Otherwise, why would Xiang Kui spend tens of thousands of contribution points to invite them?
Moreover, along the way, Xiang Kui's familiarity with the road made them guess that the contribution points this time would not be so easy to obtain.
Yes.
But since he was already here, he naturally wouldn't give up.
"Everyone, please wait here. If the Mountain Soul is attracted later, it will depend on you. Junior Brother Li, follow me." Xiang Kui warned again, then walked towards the foot of a towering mountain in front of him.
Mu Zhanyun and the others watched as Qin Yu and Xiang Kui left. Although there was doubt and curiosity between their brows, they did not ask too much. This time, they were paid, so they only needed to do their part well. As for whether there would be any good fortune here, they did not have much of an idea. After all, the fortune of the Extreme Dao Sacred Sect was enough.
That was enough.
Qin Yu followed Xiang Kui to the foot of the mountain. After Xiang Kui looked around, his Divine Sense stirred something on the ground, and he said, "Junior Brother Li, wait here. Once a Mountain Soul comes to interfere, just devour it." After speaking, Xiang Kui drilled into a bush in front of him.
Qin Yu squinted his eyes. It seemed that Xiang Kui had really been here before, and it was not a small number of times. This made Qin Yu not only puzzled …
Qin Yu's spiritual sense tried to probe the bushes, but there seemed to be another world within the bushes, blocking Qin Yu's spiritual sense.
"What exactly is in here?"
Qin Yu frowned. He wanted to enter, but after thinking about it repeatedly, he gave up on this idea. Once he entered, he would definitely anger Xiang Kui, and now was definitely not the time to shed all pretense of cordiality with Xiang Kui.
Time flowed by. Although everyone was on high alert, everything was still fine. This caused Mu Zhan Yun and the others to be puzzled. They had originally thought that there would be a battle, but who would have thought that it would be so peaceful. However, before they left, none of them dared to be careless.
Qin Yu was puzzled as well. Xiang Kui had told them that the mountain soul would come to disturb them, so why hadn't it come yet?
After pondering for a long time, Qin Yu slowly closed his eyes, and his mind merged with the heavens and the earth. According to Nie Wuchen's letter, comprehending the souls of all things in the world could improve one's Soul Dao, so Qin Yu wanted to seize this opportunity to comprehend the mountain soul here.
Since it was able to give birth to a Saint Realm expert's mountain soul, it was obvious how extraordinary this place was.
After stepping into the Soul Dao, Qin Yu was especially sensitive to the souls of all things, and he could sense the existence of the souls of all things more easily than ordinary people.
"Xiang Kui's objective this time should be the mountain soul … Since it's like that, then I'll comprehend the mountain soul as well …" Qin Yu muttered to himself, and the mountains he'd seen appeared in his mind … The Tianqi Sect's mountain range, Manjoo Zhanmu, the Hundred Refinement Ancient Sect, and the Yin Yang Death Sect's lofty mountains slowly flashed past in Qin Yu's mind.
…
Immersed in this state, a huge mountain suddenly appeared in Qin Yu's mind. No … This mountain could no longer be described as a mountain. It was as if this mountain could occupy the entire world, as if this mountain was holding up the entire Primal Chaos.
This mountain was countless times bigger than all the mountains Qin Yu had seen combined, and this mountain almost overturned Qin Yu's understanding of it.
But what made Qin Yu confused was … He had never seen this mountain before, and it seemed to have appeared in his mind out of nowhere.
"What's going on?
I've definitely never seen such a huge mountain … Wait, could it be because of the remnant soul of Ancient Saint Hunyuan Zi or the Xumi Immortal Son of Heaven? "
Qin Yu was shocked, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. These two remnant souls contained many fragments of memories, and under certain circumstances, they would
Evoke the remnant soul's memories …
"This mountain … Could it be that the Xumi Immortal Son of Heaven saw it when he was comprehending the Soul Dao?"
Qin Yu murmured. He memorized that huge mountain, and his mind sank into the surrounding mountains, imagining that he was that huge mountain that seemed to be able to hold up the Primal Chaos …
"If you want to comprehend something, you have to imagine yourself as that. Only then will you be able to comprehend the Soul Dao more easily." These were the words in Nie Wuchen's letter, and Qin Yu agreed with these words.
After an unknown period of time, Qin Yu, who had imagined himself as that huge mountain, suddenly felt a trace of fluctuation. This fluctuation was very weak, but he truly felt it.
What made Qin Yu surprised was that this fluctuation seemed to have some sort of rhythm … It was as if it was a human's breathing.
Wait …
Was this the breathing of the mountain soul?
Qin Yu's heart trembled. He quietly felt this fluctuation, trying to find the source of this fluctuation …
Not long after, Qin Yu felt the source of this fluctuation. He still imagined himself as that huge mountain, and that huge mountain was located here, and with the mountain here … they had become one.
On this day, Qin Yu, who had fused into the mountain soul, suddenly felt an endless feeling of vicissitudes gushing out from his heart. At this moment, Qin Yu seemed to have become a great mountain that had experienced the vicissitudes of time in the Holy Mountain Ancestral Land, witnessing the rise, glory, and decline of this place …
In a daze, Qin Yu heard many noises. He heard the growls of vicious beasts, the howls of vicious beasts, the screeches of vicious birds, the cold whispers, the angry roars, and so on. Countless sounds mixed together with countless terrifying auras.
However, Qin Yu had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Through these sounds, he felt as if he was looking at the world … This feeling was hard to describe, as if an emperor was patrolling his own territory!
"Grandpa Mountain Soul …" Grandpa Mountain Soul … "Grandpa Mountain Soul …" Vaguely, Qin Yu heard a clear voice. The voice was young, but it gave Qin Yu a sense of stubbornness and persistence. It felt very strange. Just as Qin Yu wanted to continue listening, he was covered by other voices …
Immersed in this state, Qin Yu seemed to have forgotten about time, forgotten about everything, as if he had truly become a mountain soul here …
"You … Have you seen the Chaotic Mountain?
"Just as Qin Yu was immersed in this state for who knows how many years, an extremely ancient voice suddenly echoed in Qin Yu's mind.
