Chapter 416 Soul-Suppressing Immortal Light
In the mysterious Sanzu Mountain, the celestial phenomena shifted, and all turmoil subsided.

"ended."

Standing before the Hall of Suppressing Souls, sensing the changes within the void, Jiang Chen silently breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had enough confidence in the Impermanence Sect, he couldn't help feeling somewhat uneasy about the Purple Mansion Battle. Fortunately, everything had now settled down.

"That demon king should have been suppressed by the Impermanence Sect. It's just unknown whether he will cause any further trouble. After all, this demon king is not without support."

"But all of this has nothing to do with me. What I need to do now is to bring the Soul Suppressing Hall under my control."

With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Chen focused his mind and began to wholeheartedly refine the Soul Suppressing Hall.

Another half incense stick's time passed, and the Soul Suppressing Hall, which was illusory, transformed into a beam of white light and entered Jiang Chen's brow.

"Soul-Suppressing Immortal Light, this is the deepest hidden power of the Soul-Suppressing Hall. It has the profound power to suppress the soul and soothe the mind. It can be used not only to fight enemies, but also to suppress one's own soul and enhance one's own soul foundation."

"Moreover, the Soul-Suppressing Immortal Light itself is also a means of tempering the soul. Cultivators can continuously refine their souls by visualizing the Soul-Suppressing Hall. With this profound mystery, my path to the third-tier soul may be smoother."

Having completed the initial refining and with the treasure entering his body, Jiang Chen had a variety of thoughts flashing through his mind.

"Devouring souls is indeed powerful, as it can rapidly strengthen one's own soul. However, besides easily generating inner demons and affecting one's true self, it may also have a significant impact on the essence of one's own soul, causing one's soul quality to become impure and superficial to a certain extent."

"Mo Yuan went to great lengths to refine the Soul Suppressing Hall, not only to suppress his own inner demons, but also to use the power of this treasure to hone his soul and eliminate some future troubles."

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Chen gained a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the Soul Suppressing Hall.

It must be said that because Mo Yuan was willing to invest, the essence of the Soul Suppressing Hall was indeed extraordinary. In addition to the most important Soul Suppressing Immortal Light, this treasure also had considerable growth potential. As long as enough souls were invested, it could potentially advance further.

"To some extent, the two profound mysteries of the Soul Suppression Hall, Soul Suppression and Soul Refining, were prepared by Mo Yuan for himself, in order to better cooperate with Soul Devouring. Unfortunately, the accumulated problems are hard to reverse. As an ordinary person without spiritual apertures, Mo Yuan was reckless in order to become stronger, which left him with a fatal hidden danger."

With a sigh, Jiang Chen withdrew his thoughts. At this moment, he had gained a preliminary grasp of the power of the Soul Suppressing Hall, and all he needed to do next was to slowly refine it.

Meanwhile, seeing the turbulent secret realm return to peace and receiving news from the outside world, the hearts of everyone in the secret realm finally settled down.

"Survived."

"My cousin has died, alas..."

Having survived the ordeal, everyone had different expressions, some relieved, some saddened. The losses of the Nian, Yan, and Xia families were considerable. Not to mention the Qi Refining cultivators, more than one Foundation Establishment cultivator had perished.

Just then, Nianhua, having taken a pill and caught her breath, came before Jiang Chen.

"I am very grateful to Junior Brother Jiang Chen. If it weren't for you, I would probably be living a life worse than death."

Recalling the time he was affected by the demonic thoughts, Nianhua was filled with lingering fear. He bowed solemnly to Jiang Chen. He had almost fallen into demonic possession before. If Jiang Chen hadn't woken him up in time, he might have really succumbed to it. Most importantly, if Jiang Chen hadn't been there, he probably would have died at Xia Wuyan's hands.

Upon witnessing this scene, the other cultivators' gazes shifted. With so many unexpected events, if Jiang Chen hadn't intervened to resolve the crisis, they probably wouldn't have survived.

"Thank you so much, Brother Jiang, for saving our lives." The voice was loud and clear, and the cultivators bowed their heads. By now, they were truly convinced of Jiang Chen's genius as a disciple of the Wuchang Sect. Most of them were extremely grateful to Jiang Chen, while only a few had more complicated expressions. These people were mostly cultivators from the Xia family.

The Xia family has fallen, and Xia Wuyan is the hope for the Xia family's resurgence, carrying the future of the entire Xia family. Now, this future has been severed by Jiang Chen.

Faced with such a gesture of respect, Jiang Chen accepted it without hesitation. As for the Xia family, Jiang Chen did not care.

Xia Wuyan defected to the Dark Feather Sect and transformed himself into a half-demon. The evidence is conclusive, and it is a serious crime. It is now uncertain whether the Xia family can continue to exist. After all, since the Impermanence Sect deliberately set a trap, they will definitely take drastic measures.

Compared to the Xia family, the Jintu Sect is more troublesome. After all, unlike the declining Xia family, the Jintu Sect has a strong foundation and has several Purple Mansion True Persons in charge. However, with the Wuchang Sect ahead, he doesn't need to worry about the trouble of the Jintu Sect in the short term. After all, the Jintu Sect is far away in the Southern Region and it is impossible for them to extend their reach into the Wuchang Sect.

"It's time to go back."

Having achieved his goal, Jiang Chen glanced at the crowd and felt a desire to leave.

As the events at the Sanzu Mountain Secret Realm came to an end, news quickly spread that Xia Wuyan had transformed into a half-demon and joined the Dark Feather Sect. The Xia family was also purged by the Wuchang Sect with swift and decisive measures, on the grounds that the Xia family had secretly colluded with the Dark Feather Sect and betrayed the human race's stance.

And so, a family that had been passed down for nearly two thousand years and had produced a Purple Mansion True Person was destroyed. This time, the Impermanence Sect used its iron-fisted methods to tell everyone who the ruler of this land really was. In an instant, many small forces became much more alert, and the news spread quickly.

In the Southern Region, a scorched earth, a precious land standing amidst a cluster of volcanoes, the Ash Earth Sect took root.

"The Impermanence Sect is making an example of someone to warn others."

Upon receiving news from the Central Region that Xia Wuyan had perished and the Xia family had been destroyed, Huo Luo, the current sect leader of the Jintu Sect, frowned.

Xia Wuyan was one of the key talents cultivated by the Jintu Sect, and he was expected to advance to the Purple Mansion True Person realm in the future. The Xia family had also been very close to them over the years, exchanging a lot of resources with them and bringing them considerable benefits. It is truly a pity that they were destroyed in this way.

"Was Xia Wuyan really a member of the Dark Feather Sect? We didn't seem to notice anything unusual before. Was he hiding it too well or was it intentional? Judging from the current situation, Xia Wuyan died at the hands of a genius disciple of the Impermanence Sect when he was competing for the secret realm inheritance."

Thoughts collided, and Huo Luo pondered many things at that moment.

If Xia Wuyan and the Xia family are indeed secretly colluding with the Dark Feather Sect, then although the matter is troublesome, it is still within a controllable range. After all, the Ash Earth Sect is a famous sect in the Feather Continent, and it has also contributed greatly in the previous demon-slaying war. Without a suitable reason, the Impermanence Sect will not easily take action against the Ash Earth Sect.

However, if the Xia family is just a pretext, and the Wuchang Sect has been eyeing the Jintu Sect from the very beginning, then the problem is truly serious.

"Qingyu, take a gift and go to the Wuchang Sect in person to make our Jintu Sect's stance clear. As a human sect, our Jintu Sect deeply despises the Dark Feather Sect, a heretic."

"Furthermore, pass down the order to have everyone associated with the Xia family purged."

After a moment's thought, Huo Luo issued the order.

Upon hearing this, a figure bowed and agreed.
