The Soul Lamp is a unique treasure imbued with a cultivator’s essence, and its refinement is a challenging process. Follow the latest novels on

When a cultivator submits to another’s authority, they often leave a trace of their soul or primordial spirit on the Soul Lamp, entrusted to the care of others.

This arrangement ensures that any harm inflicted upon the master of the Soul Lamp is mirrored by the lamp itself. In times of need, the Soul Lamp can be used to locate the cultivator, enabling timely rescue efforts. The identity of the assailant can also be deduced from their unique essence.

Presently, twelve consecutive lamps had been extinguished—eight belonging to peak individuals in the Golden Core period, and four to those in the late Golden Core Formation period. The latter situation was somewhat more favorable, as there were still several surviving cultivators, but only a handful remained from the peak Golden Core Daoist. Understandably, the feminine man was furious.

Jile Patriarch, whose a master in the Nascent Soul stage, suffered a significant loss in skilled disciples. After a few deep breaths, he emerged from the cave, his sleeves fluttering.

Once in the outer chamber, he flicked his fingers, releasing two white lights that sped outside, intending to summon assistance.

Shortly after, two Golden Core-stage individuals rushed in. Witnessing the stern expression of the patriarch, they immediately kneeled before him.

Jile Patriarch’s countenance was grim, his eyes filled with menace. “I’ve entrusted the management of the peak to you two, but now I want to know why so many Soul Lamps have been extinguished.” He crushed a piece of spiritual jade, causing a shockwave that reverberated through the entire cave. “Tell me quickly, who ordered their departure!”

Both individuals prostrated themselves, and one of them, trembling with fear, spoke up, “It was the second young master. He commanded us to kill Yun Lie and Xu Ziqing to settle his grudge.”

The other added, “The young master enlisted eight seniors to handle Yun Lie and four outstanding disciples to deal with Xu Ziqing. It should have been a secure operation...”

Jile Patriarch erupted in anger, “Yet I ended up facing adversity and suffered significant losses!”

His roar unleashed a surge of true energy, injuring the two Golden Core-stage individuals with its soundwaves. Despite this, they dared not complain, continuing to kowtow and plead for mercy.

Furiously, the Jile Patriarch demanded, “Where is Sheng’er?”

Upon hearing this, the two individuals breathed a sigh of relief and quickly responded, “Since the second young master left the water prison, he has been in seclusion and undergoing penance. A few days ago, our master tasked us with monitoring the movements of those two. Through contacts in the sect, we learned they had visited the border city half a year ago. That’s the information we’ve gathered.”

“The informant conveyed this to the second young master, and he decided to pursue the matter.”

After a prolonged contemplation, Jile Patriarch decisively declared, “Although the Wuling Immortal Sect has many talented disciples, single spiritual roots are scarce, and fire-type single spiritual roots are even rarer. Additionally, that god fire monster always interferes, making the situation vexing. Moreover, this pool of flames is likely to deplete pure crystal’s flames. Without those subordinates, things will become significantly more challenging. I can’t do without you. If I were to search for a high-quality crystal like this again, it would be exceedingly difficult without those subordinates.”

“There’s no time to delay now. If something unexpected occurs one day, I’ll take you on a journey. In the past, I harbored many reservations, but this time, I must ask you to break through!”

The man sensed a change in the air and inquired, “What do you mean, venture into the other three domains?”

Jile Patriarch nodded, “Those places harbor complex forces, providing opportunities to exploit chaos. If that doesn’t work, I can also resort to abduction. The rest, I’m not overly concerned about.”

The principle of ‘if at first you don’t succeed, you’ll be benevolent’ reflected their previous belief that time was enough and they could await the acceptance of a single-fire spiritual root disciple. Little did they know that Jile Patriarch initially underestimated Yun Lie and Xu Ziqing, viewing them as having minimal potential. Now, realizing the potential threat posed by their growth, he decided to cast aside all taboos and anxieties, prioritizing the cultivation of his heart and soul into a Taoist body.

Failure in the transfer process would result in the person he loves in losing their soul. Contemplating this, Jile Patriarch felt a determination emerging on his usually feminine face.

All matters were openly shared with his Shixiong, including Rongjin’s progress and the fox girl’s care for her child. Yun Lie remained silent, absorbing the information attentively.

Once these topics were covered, Xu Ziqing brought up Nan Zhengya again.

Yun Lie patiently waited for Xu Ziqing to conclude before remarking, “You and Nan Zhengya seem to have some karmic connection.”

Affirming this observation, Xu Ziqing responded, “I believe so too, which is why I treat him kindly. Our temperaments differ, but he has been treating me well since our encounter. Despite his sarcastic words, there’s no malice behind them.”

Yun Lie commented, “You judge character well.”

A smile graced Xu Ziqing’s face. While he trusted Nan Zhengya, his utmost trust remained with his Shixiong. His Shixiong’s approval reassured him. After pondering for a moment, Xu Ziqing recalled the recent ambush on his Shixiong and inquired, “I heard that Shixiong was ambushed today, and those involved were the eight peak Golden Core cultivators?”

Yun Lie confirmed with a simple “Yes.”

Feeling a sense of relief, Xu Ziqing refrained from delving into the details of the confrontation. He knew that with his Shixiong’s involvement, the assailants wouldn’t escape unscathed. Having narrowly escaped an attack himself and then witnessing the arrival of his admired Shixiong, an indescribable joy filled his heart. Strangely, a trace of cunning unexpectedly surfaced within him.

With a secretive smile, Xu Ziqing suddenly produced a beast card. In a flash of white light, a snow-white furball appeared in his arms.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and tossed the white ball toward his Shixiong.
