Chapter 938 Elder of the Void Spirit Clan

Qin Ming collected these crystals and showed them to the Old Demon Qingyang.

He stroked his beard and observed for a while, then said with some doubt, "It actually contains a trace of the power of the Shadow Law. It seems that this gray toad has been affected by this power."

"Are these crystals still useful?" Qin Ming asked.

The old demon Qingyang said indifferently, "The power of the laws contained here is negligible, and it is about to dissipate and return to the Great Dao. It is of little use to you, young friend Qin."

"If it were a complete fragment of the law, then it would be of great use."

"I suspect that the succubus star's intentions are clear; most likely, she wants something to break through her cultivation level within the Well of Souls."

As soon as he finished speaking, the few crystals in Qin Ming's hand vanished into thin air.

Qin Ming nodded after listening to the old demon's words. He felt that a powerful demon like Succubus Star could only be interested in breaking through to the Great Ascension stage.

Subsequently.

Qin Ming raised his hand and waved it, and a powerful surge of Yuan Qi suddenly reverberated outwards. The landscape painting transformed from the [Sumeru Mountains and Rivers] entry appeared in the void, and a hazy blue light descended upon the pond below.

As the azure light faded, it absorbed the entire pond below into the Lesser Spirit Realm.

He even considered taking the entire herb garden into the area, but the situation was unclear, and the succubus star from the demon race was still there. He was worried that she would be taken to the Lesser Spirit Realm as well, which would be quite troublesome.

Qin Ming was in a great mood after collecting the seventh-grade mid-level 'Mysterious Dew Sky-Piercing Grass'. Although he didn't know what this spiritual herb was for, he could study it later.

The fact that it is a mid-grade seventh-level rare treasure is enough to demonstrate its considerable value.

Followed by.

Qin Ming had the Devouring Sky Rat continue to lead the way as they continued their search within the herb garden.

He hasn't received any further instructions from Succubus yet, so he can just focus on doing his own thing.

Not long after.

The gluttonous Devouring Rat made a new discovery in a medicinal garden. Beside a huge rock, surrounded by spiritual energy, grew a wondrous herb.

This spiritual herb is three inches in size, with a spiritual flower blooming at its tip. Its entire body is enveloped in a ball of icy blue flames, yet it exudes an extremely cold aura and shimmers with iridescent light.

At the very center of its fiery flower stamen, the faint outline of a beast-like spirit can be seen.
Strangely, this Ice Flame Flower's roots were firmly planted on the fire vein, and there was even magma flowing underground, presenting two completely opposite states of this spiritual herb.

"Master, what kind of treasure is this?" The Devouring Rat, having once again performed a great service, asked Qin Ming excitedly.

Qin Ming was also not very familiar with these ancient relics, so he had to humbly ask Qingyang the Old Demon for guidance.

The Old Demon Qingyang pondered for a moment, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and asked in surprise:
"Could this be the legendary 'Ice Soul Flame Grass'? Tsk tsk tsk, young friend Qin's luck is truly extraordinary! You even stumbled upon such a rare and precious herb."

"This flower is also ranked in the seventh tier. Although it is only a low-grade seventh tier, this divine herb has the effect of harmonizing yin and yang, and can be used as a key ingredient in refining many seventh-tier pills."

"It can even be used when refining seventh-grade top-quality pills, making it something that alchemists dream of."

"This herb garden of the Soul Clan is truly a treasure trove! That succubus star actually sent you to collect spirit herbs. I wonder what she'll think if she discovers that the spirit herbs here far exceed her expectations? Hehehe!"

Qin Ming was overjoyed upon hearing this, and immediately released the landscape painting scroll, taking the underground fire vein along with the entire 'Ice Soul Flame Grass' into the small spirit realm.

The little silver fox and Tian Ling'er were also busy inside, taking care of these rare spiritual plants for Qin Ming.

Xiao Qing, who was dozing in the lake, excitedly ran over upon seeing this, and moved closer to the two extremely rare spiritual herbs, with drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.

Next, Qin Ming and his servant continued to explore deeper into the area. Although they did not encounter any more seventh-tier spiritual herbs, they still gained a considerable amount.

And at the same time.

Outside the Holy Soul Hall, several Void Spirits with exceptionally powerful auras arrived. Among them was an old man with red hair, vigorous and healthy, with pure white wings on his back, holding a holy spear, and wearing golden scale armor. His imposing presence was overwhelming.

What's even more terrifying is that this old man from the Void Spirit Clan is also at the early stage of the Integration Realm.

At this moment, he was looking with a cold gaze toward the direction of the Soul Clan's secret realm. A Void Spirit Clan member beside him bowed and respectfully reported, "Reporting to Elder Zhong, we previously discovered that alien cultivators had secretly infiltrated this place."

"There should be human, demon, and alien cultivators from the Skyhorn Clan, including many powerful cultivators at the Integration Stage."

Upon hearing this, the Void Spirit Elder named 'Zhong Shen' remained extremely calm and gave the order in a cold tone:
"You must immediately send a message to Divine Oracle Mountain, report this matter to the Ninth Elder, and ask him to come down from the mountain so that I can go in first to see what's going on and delay these old guys who dare to sneak into our clan."

"Hmph! Since you're here, none of you are leaving."

"And that human cultivator originally planned to offer a widow of the Soul Clan in exchange for our clan joining his camp in an alliance, but I didn't expect him to have other plans in the dark."

"Since they break their promises, they can't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying that, Elder Zhongxing's wings burst forth with golden light, without suppressing his cultivation level. Then, at an incredible speed, he disappeared into the secret realm's light gate.

"Yes! I obey my orders!"

The Void Spirit Clan member accepted the order, but they were also shocked, never expecting that this would actually alarm the Five Supreme Elders of Divine Oracle Mountain.

Not long after.

The elderly man in golden armor, surnamed Zhong, swiftly ascended the stone steps to the outside of the Holy Soul Hall. Looking at everything inside, he was overjoyed.

"Hahaha! It really is the place where the Soul Clan's secret treasure is buried! It has not been found for so many years, but I did not expect that it would be discovered by the alien race first!"

"The appearance of the Soul Clan's secret treasure is truly the destiny of our Void Spirit Clan's rise; it is an inevitable trend!"

In a moment.

Before the others even arrived, his powerful divine sense detected intense fighting sounds coming from the area ahead, and he immediately rushed over at top speed.

Several ancient monsters from the human and demon races are engaged in a fierce battle, so intense that even the powerful Ren Shui Ancestor has been injured.

Although Elder Kui Mu of the Star Palace had his cultivation suppressed, his treasures and methods were clearly superior.

Just as the battle was raging, an extremely powerful wave came from outside. A golden streak of light pierced through the air, carrying a trace of extremely strong and yang energy. With overwhelming force, it pierced through the battlefield between the two sides.

Swish!
With a sweeping motion of the golden spear, an unparalleled aura was unleashed, wiping out all the magical spells and supernatural abilities on the scene!

The old monsters of the human-demon camp were all knocked back by this golden light. Their blood surged and they looked at the owner of the golden light with a look of great fear.

Elder Kui Mu of the Star Palace recognized the man at a glance: "So it is Elder Zhong of the Void Spirit Clan. It has been a long time. The Golden Light Holy Spear technique has become even more formidable. I have not yet had the chance to pay him a visit. I am truly sorry for my abruptness."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other old monsters also turned their heads and withdrew their supernatural powers.

It wasn't hard for them to see that even Elder Kui Mu of the Star Palace, who held a transcendent position among the human race, thought so highly of this Void Spirit Clan cultivator, indicating that he was definitely not a simple person.

This is not comparable to an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Hmph! You bastards have come uninvited, sneaking into our clan's sacred ground with ulterior motives, and you even dare to talk about cooperation and alliance. From today onwards, this matter is off the table!"

"Let's see if you can leave this place alive first." The Zhong-surname Void Spirit Clan elder sneered, showing no fear in the face of so many alien cultivators.

boom!
next moment.

An extremely powerful spiritual pressure aura, typical of cultivators at the Integration Stage, suddenly descended upon this space.

"Why are you unaffected by the suppressive power of the Soul Clan ruins? Why are you able to fully unleash the divine abilities of the Integration Realm?"

Faced with this sudden turn of events, the Ren Shui Ancestor and the others asked with grim faces.

These old monsters, each with limited cultivation, looked extremely ugly as they faced the unrestricted, golden-armored elder surnamed Zhong.

Clearly, they were no match for this old man in this space.

But then the old man surnamed Zhong pointed his golden spear at the crowd and said arrogantly, "You've come here without even checking what the relationship is between my clan and the ancient Soul Clan?"

"Isn't it only natural that we can move around freely here?"

After he finished speaking, he was about to attack the old monsters present. At this moment, their cultivation was suppressed, which was a good opportunity to eliminate the intruders.

But at this moment.

The Golden Ring Elder of the Skyhorn Clan looked around, his expression strange, and raised his hand to stop them:
"Wait a minute!"

He then asked the old monsters around him, "That's strange, where is your demon race's array master woman?"

"Elder Jin Huan, are you referring to Master Xi Ying?" Si Kong Lao Mo asked in return. After observing for a while, his expression changed, and he also realized that the person was gone.

The other old monsters also looked on with suspicion. Anyone who could disappear silently right under their noses must have been hiding their strength.

The thought that there were still experts, who might have even secretly entered the final Soul Palace, filled him with both shock and anger.

Not far away, the elderly man surnamed Zhong from the Void Spirit Clan, seeing the change in these people's expressions, naturally guessed what was going on and roared angrily:
What did you say?!

"Someone has already entered the Holy Soul Hall!"

At this moment, Elder Kui Mu stepped forward and suggested, "Not only that, but others infiltrated before us, so there's probably more than one person who entered the Soul Palace."

"Instead of fighting here for half a day without a clear winner, we might as well go inside first. If we continue to delay, even if the Soul Clan has many treasures, they will probably fall into the hands of others, and we will end up with nothing."

Upon hearing this, the old man surnamed Zhong from the Void Spirit Clan, who was originally about to take action, showed a thoughtful expression.

After a while.

He then withdrew the golden spear from his hand and said, "We'll do as you say for now, but we'll settle this score later."

The old monsters on the demon side exchanged glances. They were naturally happy to see the human race and the Void Spirit race quarreling, which was exactly what they wanted.

Therefore, they all nodded in agreement, their expressions revealing a meaningful smile.

"Humans are two-faced and have no sincerity towards the nobles. If Fellow Daoist Zhong has any ideas, feel free to negotiate with our Holy Clan. The conditions offered by the human race are the same as those offered by our Demon Clan." Old Demon Sikong chuckled and began to sow discord in front of Elder Kui Mu and the others.

After all, it was indeed the case that the human race broke their promise and secretly infiltrated the territory of the Void Spirit Clan.

Upon hearing this, the old monsters of the human race almost coughed up blood.

However, there was no time to dwell on this matter, so they immediately transformed into streaks of light and shot towards the Soul Palace at the top.

The old man surnamed Zhong from the Void Spirit Clan stood still, his expression inscrutable, seemingly not in a hurry at all.

After all, this place is located within the territory of their Void Spirit Clan, and he has already sent a message to the clan elders who are more powerful.

Once reinforcements arrive, none of these alien cultivators will be able to escape, hence their fearlessness.

Soon after.

These ancient monsters, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, were also awestruck by the aura emanating from the ancient deities worshipped by the Soul Clan when they entered the last Soul Palace and saw the statues of the gods. They all became extremely vigilant.

Just as they were about to pass through the altar where the deity was placed and go up the spiral staircase behind it.

A sudden change occurred!

Above the altar, a huge old man's face materialized out of thin air, and the sheer power emanating from it terrified all the alien monsters.

boom! !

The next instant, the giant human face in the void suddenly opened its eyes, and a burst of intense white light erupted from its empty eyes.

An unprecedented spatial suppression force crushed the intruders like a mountain.

The old monsters of both the human and demon races, including the old man surnamed Zhong from the Void Spirit race, were all struck as if by lightning and were sent flying out of the main hall like tattered rags.

They coughed up blood and crashed heavily to the ground, causing many of the buildings outside to collapse.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, these old monsters looked at the human face in the void, their expressions revealing fear.

"Hmph! Those two little fellows were one thing, but since they were able to bring back the widow of my clan, I, this old ancestor, only showed leniency and allowed them to enter the Soul Pillar Space to obtain some opportunities."

"But you ants dare to covet what belongs to your own kind? It's utterly delusional!"

That enormous void face, like an invisible chasm, kept all these old monsters with their own agendas outside the Holy Soul Hall.

……

In the herb garden of the Soul Clan's secret realm.

Qin Ming made a fortune, reaping considerable benefits, and practically stuffed all the valuable spiritual herbs and medicines from the other half of the herb garden into the Little Spirit Realm.

As they ventured deeper, the three of them noticed something unusual: the spiritual plants deep within the Soul Clan's medicinal garden were becoming increasingly sparse.

The road beneath their feet had turned blackish-gray, and the surrounding environment had become cold and gloomy.
at this time.

The seductive voice of the succubus star echoed in Qin Ming's mind:

“Go five more miles in and meet me in the southwest.”

Upon receiving the order, Qin Ming was immediately alarmed. He promptly took the Devouring Sky Rat and the Silver Winged Frost Bee into his Small Spirit Realm, and then rushed over to the location provided by the Succubus Star.

By the time he arrived...

The scene before him startled him. The succubus star stood in mid-air, and not far below her was a huge stone well, more than ten feet in diameter, shaped like a Bagua (Eight Trigrams).

Streams of gray, yin energy were continuously flowing into this well of souls from all directions.

"Is this the Soul Well of the Soul Clan?"

As soon as Qin Mingguang got close, he felt a strange sense of unease.
