Chapter 434 Exchange of Information
“Emperor Realm——”

Zhu Kun looked at Lin Yuan deeply, then tore open the seal of the wine jar, took a gulp, and asked with interest: “Boy, you are only a Dou Zun in the Spirit Realm, and you are still far from the Emperor Realm. Why are you so anxious to ask?”

Lin Yuan smiled faintly and gently brushed Zi Yan’s long hair. “Although I am still far from the emperor realm, Zi Yan is not far away. Naturally, I have to make some preparations in advance…”

Most Douluo are celestial realm souls, and Zi Yan, who has completed her promotion, is no exception.

The Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit is the top treasure of this Dou Qi Continent. It can not only improve the Dou Qi cultivation, but also the soul power.

After Zi Yan digested most of the energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit: her Dou Qi realm directly jumped from the previous Nine-turn Dou Zun to the Five-star Dou Sheng; her soul realm also directly jumped from the previous late spiritual realm to the late heavenly realm.

Even Lin Yuan couldn’t help but feel envious at this level of improvement.

Next to her, Zi Yan was concentrating on enjoying the food. When she heard her name, she looked up and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Lin Yuan helped her tidy up her hair and said thoughtfully, “As for the soul, Zi Yan is already in the late Heaven Realm. There are only two levels left, the Great Perfection of the Heaven Realm and the Emperor Realm. I need to prepare for the rainy day and prepare the necessary resources for her in advance…”

After a pause, he added: “I have collected a huge amount of soul essence in the place where I work part-time. I am sure… I can try to plan something for Zi Yan!”

One of Lin Yuan’s main purposes for joining the Soul Palace was to obtain the origins of those souls.

Zi Yan is the greatest common denominator between him and Zhu Kun.

Only by planning around improving Zi Yan can we make the most of the power of this peak strong man.

As expected, after hearing Lin Yuan’s words, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Zhu Kun’s eyes: Although this boy is still weak, his feelings for Zi Yan are remarkable… She is worthy of being his own daughter, and her vision is indeed excellent.

If there was a huge amount of soul essence to help, it would definitely save my daughter a lot of hard work.

In terms of physical body, Warcraft naturally has an advantage.

However, in terms of soul, Warcraft is at a natural disadvantage – even for the Taixu Ancient Dragon royal family with top-level bloodline, it is not easy to make progress in soul cultivation.

During Zhu Kun’s long cultivation career, he spent a lot of time before breaking through to his current emperor realm.

“A huge amount of soul essence,” Zhu Kun said solemnly, “This is a good thing that can help Zi Yan enter the heavenly realm… It’s worth planning carefully!”

“I understand. What about the Emperor Realm?” Lin Yuan nodded slightly and asked, “If my guess is correct, Senior should have reached the Emperor Realm Soul. How did you break through? Can you directly achieve the Emperor Realm Soul by absorbing the Soul Origin?”

Hearing this question, Zi Yan couldn’t help but put down the glass of smoothie in her hand, and like Lin Yuan, she looked at Zhu Kun with burning eyes.

“Yes and no…it’s not that simple!”

Facing the gazes of the two, Zhu Kun nodded, then shook his head slightly, “The Emperor Realm Soul, after all, has the word ‘Emperor’ in it, how could it be so easy to achieve?”

After a brief pause, he put down the wine jar, sat up straight, and began to explain in detail: “There are generally two ways to achieve the Emperor’s Soul: seeking from outside and seeking from within.”

“Let’s talk about external seeking first, which is to use the essence of the soul to advance.”

“However, the soul essence required to advance to the Emperor Soul is not an ordinary soul essence, but a highly purified soul essence, which was called the pure soul essence in ancient times.”

“The soul’s origin is originally a very pure energy. It is very difficult to purify it. It is difficult to do it without the strength of a high-level Dou Sheng.”

“In addition to the difficulty of purification, the amount required… this is the biggest problem.”

“The general soul essence, after being purified by complex and special methods, can only obtain a trace amount of pure soul essence. To gather enough essence to advance to the emperor soul, the killing that needs to be caused is simply unimaginable.”

“This is a recognized evil path. Once implemented, it is easy to become the public enemy of the mainland.”

There was a chaotic period in ancient times. The Soul-Devouring Life-Killing Formation that extracted energy from the blood, the secret method of extracting the essence from the soul… most of them were products of that period.

However, most of those who tried were beaten to death because they angered the public.

Although the strong are respected in the Douqi Continent, it is quite amazing that many paths that are extremely effective but extremely harmful to the harmony of nature have been almost completely suppressed and wiped out in the long history of war on the continent, and have become recognized as evil paths.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is understandable.

Even those strong people who have taken the evil path will mostly reject it in their hearts. Once they have completed their cultivation, instead of defending their “companions”, they will actively eliminate them.

Even those who do not reject evil ways will give priority to eliminating their competing “peers”.

After all, there is only one Douqi Continent, and there are only so many people who can “eat”. If you “eat” one more, I will have to “eat” one less.

Competition is always an enemy, this saying never goes out of date.

If someone established an organization similar to the Soul Palace, the one who would react the most violently and the most ruthlessly would not be the hostile forces such as the Ancient Clan and the Danta, but the Soul Clan. Anyone who dared to seize the Soul Clan’s “grass” would be courting death! The extremely cruel internal struggles of the evil path cut off the possibility of it becoming the mainstream.

After hearing Zhu Kun’s story, Lin Yuan nodded secretly in his heart – what the other party said basically matched what he knew.

The Soul Clan collects souls and souls from the Heavenly Tomb, which is their method of seeking outside help.

The Soul Clan established the Soul Palace and spent a full thousand years collecting souls and extracting soul essences before they gathered enough soul essences to advance to the Emperor Soul.

The soul of the Heavenly Tomb is the condensed imprints of the souls of countless powerful men. Those who were able to be buried in the Heavenly Tomb were all powerful men in their lifetime. Even if there are only the imprints of their souls in the tomb, they still contain a considerable amount of soul essence.

After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, the total amount is no less than the souls collected by the Soul Clan over thousands of years.

As for the energy bodies in the Sky Tomb Soul devouring each other, Lin Yuan guessed that it was most likely a method of cultivating and purifying the essence of the soul.

“Isn’t it the Soul Palace that’s doing what you’re talking about?”

On the side, Zi Yan seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly realized something. She curled her lips and said, “So those monsters are collecting souls everywhere because they are planning this!”

“Hmm? Is there really a force that dares to do this?” Zi Yan’s words surprised Zhu Kun. “Soul Palace, which force is this? And they didn’t get wiped out for doing this. Is the world… so chaotic now?”

“Let Lin Yuan tell you. He knows the situation on the mainland very well.”

Zi Yan shrugged casually, signaled to Lin Yuan beside her with her eyes to Zhu Kun, and then turned her attention back to the food on the table.

“The Soul Palace is a peripheral force established by the Soul Clan.”

Lin Yuan took over the conversation and announced, “There are currently seven ancient clans left: Soul, Ancient, Thunder, Fire, Medicine, Stone, and Spirit.”

“The Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade is currently mainly in their hands.”

“The Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan are currently the two strongest clans among the seven clans, and they are also the two strongest forces in the Douqi Continent! The Ancient Clan’s Patriarch, Gu Yuan, and the Soul Clan’s Patriarch, Emperor Hun Tian, ​​were both peerless warriors at the peak of Dou Sheng thousands of years ago.”

Hearing this, Zhu Kun couldn’t help but look a little stern, and his face became a little serious: “They were already at the peak of Dou Sheng a thousand years ago, and these guys are as strong as ever.”

At his level, the only people he needs to care about are opponents of the same level.

Since Hun and Gu were already at the peak of the Douluo realm thousands of years ago, there is a 99% chance that their souls have broken through to the Emperor realm now in order to become a Half-Emperor at the same level as themselves.

After all, when it comes to breaking through the Emperor Realm Soul, the top Fighting Saint has a natural advantage when practicing the method of “seeking within”.

Thinking of those ancient clans, even the knowledgeable Zhu Kun couldn’t help but feel a little emotional – in terms of cultivation, the descendants of the Dou Emperor are truly blessed. In every era, there will be strong men at the peak of the Dou Saint level, and often there is more than one.

“Because I work part-time at the Soul Palace, I know some more inside information!”

Lin Yuan stared at Zhu Kun and said thoughtfully, “On the surface, the two ancient souls are strong, but in fact, the soul clan hides many high-level combat forces…”

“If you are not counted in the Ancient Emperor’s Cave, the Soul Clan has the power to suppress the entire Douqi Continent.”

“Generally speaking, as far as I know, the Soul Clan has more than ten high-level Dou Shengs above seven stars, which is far better than the Ancient Clan which only has five high-level Dou Shengs. Among them, in addition to the clan leader, the Soul Clan also has another nine-star Dou Sheng.”

“And the current patriarch of the Soul Clan, Emperor Hun Tian, ​​is an unrivaled hero… He is extremely dangerous! As far as I know, a thousand years ago, several top Dou Shengs died at his hands…”

“This person intends to open the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion, and has been trying to seize the Ancient Emperor Jade.”

“However, a thousand years ago, when Emperor Hun Tian was wiping out the Soul Clan’s arch-enemy, the Xiao Clan, he was severely injured by the counterattack of the then Xiao Clan leader… a top-level warrior. For the past thousand years, he has been recuperating in the depths of the Soul Realm!”

“However, this person did not give up the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion, but has been actively preparing for it. For this purpose, he even formulated the Soul Clan’s Millennium Plan.”

“Now, Emperor Hun Tian is about to recover from his injuries, and the Millennium Plan is about to begin.”

In order to get Zhu Kun to cooperate with him in the future, Lin Yuan began to exaggerate the Soul Clan threat theory and informed Zhu Kun of the Soul Clan’s strength, Soul Clan layout and other information.

As expected, after listening to Lin Yuan’s introduction, Zhu Kun couldn’t help but fall into silence.

If what this kid said is true, the strength of this Soul Clan is abnormally strong… Even the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan that he once commanded is far inferior to the strength of this Soul Clan.

The clan that strongly covets the ancient emperor’s cave is extremely powerful and poses a great threat to himself, a half-emperor.

“Lin Yuan, how do you know so much?” Zhu Kun looked at Lin Yuan seriously, wondering, “What you said should be confidential information even among the Soul Clan… Why do you know this? Why did you tell this emperor?”

Lin Yuan smiled faintly and told him frankly: “Because my cheap teacher is the chief alchemist of the Soul Clan… and I want to get rid of his control.”

The foundation of mutual trust needs to be established from the beginning!
