C141 Hall Of Souls

The Temple was still as luxurious as before, and there was a strange magic here that made the whole Temple separate from the outside world. It was like spring all the time, and the outside world was covered in ice and snow.

"I will brazenly go to some restricted areas in the temple. Xiao Rou will definitely be suspicious. Once they report it …"

"Sir, don't worry. I am already the hall master, so they will wholeheartedly listen to my orders. Moreover, isn't the position of the auxiliary hall master only yours? What's wrong with the chief auxiliary head understanding the interior of the temple?" Zheng Huaisha said faintly.

Although Yun Feixue was still somewhat worried, he still nodded his head and the three of them entered the interior of the temple.

Just like before, devout believers could be seen everywhere, cultivating or reciting the teachings of the Holy Spirit Sect. In short, compared to Yun Feixue and the others, these people felt that they had already placed their souls in the Holy Spirit Sect.

"Does young master know why there is such a great difference between here and the outside world?" Zheng Huisha asked.

"That's what I've been wondering." Yun Feixue said.

"It's all because of that tree." Zheng Huaisha suddenly pointed towards an open area not far in front of him. Yun Feixue saw a towering tree that looked like a gigantic umbrella that covered half of the building.

Thick life force came from the tree and it felt relaxed and happy under his feet. His soul seemed to be swimming in the world because of the aura that came from the tree.

What shocked Yun Feixue even more was that the wood spirit in his body suddenly became abnormally active. A short while later, the voice of a wood spirit suddenly appeared in Yun Feixue's mind.

"Big brother, baby …" It seems like I ate them, ah, eating them would be more useful than eating a thousand Jaded Soul Pills. " When Yun Feixue heard that pitiful voice, his heart almost melted.

"Ugh …" "If I eat them, how will I eat …" Yun Feixue asked.

"Like this …" These words resounded in his mind, and then Yun Feixue felt an invisible force drilling out from his chest. In his horrified gaze, the leaves of the towering tree suddenly began to wither, and a few leaves directly turned yellow before falling down.

Yun Feixue turned pale with fright, and exclaimed in his mind: "Hurry, stop. If you want to eat, then I'll bring you here. Not now."

"Ah?" Why not now? The baby really wants to eat it. " The wood spirit pleaded.

"You can't go on eating now, I won't bring you back, and I won't give you the Jaded Soul Pill." Yun Feixue continued.

"Ah?" That... "Alright then, since this baby is obedient …" When Yun Feixue saw that the change on the tree had stopped, he let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were only a few leaves on the tree, so he had not been noticed by Zheng Huaisha and the others.

"Just what kind of tree is this? How can there be such a strong life force that can change the surrounding environment! " Yun Feixue could not help but ask.

"This is a Source Spirit Tree. In order to make the new followers of the Temple rely more on and worship the temple, almost every temple has a Source Spirit Tree." Zheng Huisha said.

"This is …" "Source Spirit Tree?" Yun Feixue looked in disbelief at the large tree, but Di Xiu remained expressionless. It was the only thing that made him different was the matter of wasting food.

This thing was similar to the Black Yellow Jade, it could make the surrounding Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to be even denser. However, the Source Spirit Tree's function was even more obvious, because it had the ability to change the surrounding environment, because only this kind of environment that was like spring could adapt to it.

However, the rarity of this item was definitely not inferior to those precious spirit stone mines. Zheng Huaisha had told him that almost every temple had a Source Spirit Tree. Where did they get so many seedlings?

"That's right, it's a Source Spirit Tree. For those who are preparing to join the Temple, those who admire it will admire it even more. More importantly, the Source Spirit Tree can indeed give birth to more of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, greatly beneficial to cultivators." Zheng Huaisha said as he walked away.

"Of course, the Source Spirit Tree isn't the biggest secret of the Temple, this is its true core." Zheng Huaisha looked towards the dark hall in front of him.

He saw two men in black robes standing at a different side of the door. The aura they gave off made Yun Feixue slightly frown, because he actually smelled a trace of soul power from these two people.

"This subordinate respectfully welcomes Lord Hallmaster." The two of them simultaneously cupped their fists towards Zheng Huaisha.

"Yes." Zheng Huaisha nodded and walked into the hall.

However, just as Yun Feixue and Di Xiu were about to step through the door, the two of them simultaneously extended their hands to block him from entering. The man on the right said, "You are not allowed to enter the 'Hall of Souls'."

"Hmm?" Zheng Huaisha turned around and looked at the two of them with an icy gaze.

Seeing Zheng Huaisha's gaze, the two of them trembled. It was obvious that they still felt some fear towards Zheng Huaisha, who had seized the hall master. One had to know that they had struck Zheng Huaisha when he was down.

"Hall..." Temple Head, you are also aware of the rules set by the Temple, other than the Temple Head, the rest of the people have to vote and select their followers before they can enter, so … " One of them bravely said.

"He is Young Master Yun Feixue of the Yun Manor of Hidden Dragon City. This young man is also talented, and he will be of great help to the future development of the Sacred Palace. So why don't I take them on a tour of the Hall of Souls?" Zheng Huaisha said faintly.

"This …"

"Furthermore, with the current gathering of Hidden Dragon City's experts, the majority of them are quite hostile towards our temple, which coincidentally allows them to contribute to the protection of the Hall of Souls. If something really happens to the Hall of Souls, will you be able to take responsibility?" Zheng Huaisha continued in a cold voice.

His words finally made the two of them retreat. Yun Feixue and Di Xiu took the opportunity to step out of the Soul Hall.

"Logically speaking, you shouldn't be too willing to be promoted to the position of Palace Master. Moreover, these two people's cultivation far surpasses yours. How could they be so afraid of you?" Yun Feixue looked at Zheng Huaisha in confusion.

"That's because every hall master has control over their life and death. Even if their cultivation is higher than mine, their life and death lie in a single moment of my will. This is the power that the hall master grants to every hall master, so when Han Youzi became hall master, he did not kill me. Zheng Huisha said.

"Then why can't you kill us?" Yun Feixue asked again.

"This is because you are not truly disciples of the Temple, and every true believer has to undergo the baptism of the Holy Spirit. After going through this series of processes, you will hand over their souls to our Soul Pond." At this moment, the three of them arrived at the center of the hall. There was a huge circular altar and in the center of the altar, there was a huge black circular pool filled with an unknown black liquid.

There were complicated patterns carved around the pool, just like many of the formation engravings. These patterns flickered with light at a regular speed.

"Hand over your soul to the Soul Pond?" Yun Feixue looked aghast at Zheng Huaisha before turning his gaze back to the center of the altar.

To be exact, a part of the soul is handed over to the Soul Lake, which is also an absolute loyalty to the Holy Spirit Sect. In the whole Hidden Dragon Empire, over ten thousand halls are like this, only by handing the soul over to the Soul Pool can one be considered a true believer of the Holy Spirit Sect, and only then can one have the qualification to train in the core martial arts of the Holy Spirit Sect. Zheng Huisha said.

"By giving a part of my soul to this place, other than being able to control their life and death, is there any other use?" Yun Feixue said with a serious expression.

This is also the biggest secret of every branch hall, every branch hall's hall master has been bestowed with a strong soul power to cultivate their martial arts, one way to increase soul power is to absorb the soul power of others, and here, without a doubt, it has become the hall master's breeding pool. We will continuously extract the souls of people and send them to the soul pool, and through conversion, they will be provided to the hall master for cultivation, and even believers who have performed well will have the qualifications to train their soul power here. Zheng Huisha said.

Yun Feixue's expression was grave. His attention had always been focused on the soul pond. The moment his soul power and the soul pond collided, he discovered that there was a subtle connection between the two at this moment.

The Soul Pond was filled with the souls of countless people. After some sort of transformation, these souls had already been completely twisted into a ball, as if countless scattered clouds had merged together to form a large cloud.

"I think the items in this pond should be able to help you break through into the fourth stage of the Soul Incantation." In his mind, Yun Feixue who was in his soul state suddenly spoke.

"Help me break through to the fourth stage of the Soul Art?" "Are you sure?" Yun Feixue said in surprise.

"That's right, the souls here have already been transformed into liquid soul power. This soul power is already the purest kind of soul power. In any case, their final use is to become nourishment for others. It might as well be here to help you." The voice continued echoing in his head.

"How do I absorb them?" Yun Feixue asked.

"Just use your soul power to absorb it. This thing can resonate with your soul power, and it just so happens that your third level soul art has reached a breakthrough. You can take this opportunity to break through." Yun Feixue said in his mind.

"I see." After saying that, Yun Feixue continued to look around him.

As his voice faded, Yun Feixue looked towards Zheng Huaisha. Since this place was originally provided for the hall master and even for those believers, he naturally had sufficient reasons to use it.

The purpose of Zheng Huaisha bringing him here was also to help Yun Feixue see if he could discover some clues. The current Zheng Huaisha was definitely not the same person who had worked so hard for the Holy Spirit Sect in the past. After meeting him for the first time, Yun Feixue had also discovered this point, which was why he dared to cooperate with him sincerely.

After experiencing such a low level of experience, Zheng Huaisha only wanted to continue to climb upwards. The Lord Hallmaster could easily erase the position of Hall Master Han, and similarly, he could easily erase his own position. Only by climbing to a higher level and even surpassing the Lord Hallmaster could he truly feel safe.

It could even be said that it was an extremely rare opportunity. Regardless of whether it was his other intentions for joining the Sacred Hall or the position of the Yun Mansion in Hidden Dragon City, it was enough for Zheng Huaisha to firmly grasp onto him. Therefore, if Yun Feixue wanted to use the Soul Pool, Zheng Huaisha would definitely agree without hesitation.

"What martial arts did the Lord Hallmaster bestow upon you for cultivating soul power? Can you let me take a look?" Yun Feixue suddenly said as he looked at Zheng Huaisha.
