This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

"Master Li, something seems... off here..."

As soon as Nangong Yue finished speaking, she felt her body tremble slightly.

It felt as if something had brushed past me, or as if I had suddenly passed through a thin membrane with that step.

"Master Li..."

Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment, then turned around and her expression froze.

There was nothing behind her; Li Daoxuan had vanished.

At this moment, Li Daoxuan was also frowning as he looked at the area in front of him.

He was caught off guard and didn't even have time to react when Nangong Yue disappeared.

Li Daoxuan was somewhat surprised. There were probably very few beings in this world that could escape his primordial spirit's perception.

His divine sense immediately spread out, and the moment it left his body, Li Daoxuan had a strange feeling.

The divine sense that was once invincible was now greatly suppressed here.

It takes a hundred times longer to spread out than in other places.

There seemed to be a power similar to divine sense permeating the area. Upon closer inspection, Li Daoxuan felt that this should be the power emanating from the divine soul of a powerful being.

But with such a powerful divine soul, this person is at least at the peak of the Martial God realm.

Even so, Li Daoxuan was still able to successfully penetrate the suppression brought by these divine soul powers and gradually seep into the void in front of him.

Suddenly, Li Daoxuan opened his eyes and looked in one direction. He tapped his foot and his figure disappeared instantly.

Following the sensation of that divine thought, Li Daoxuan saw through the illusion before him and arrived at an empty intersection.

Looking up, there was a huge rock standing at the intersection, with four words written on it: "Forbidden Land of the Soul Sea".

"The Forbidden Land of the Soul Sea? This is actually the Forbidden Land of the Soul Sea?"

Li Daoxuan could not hide his surprise.

He had seen this name before; it was mentioned in a book called "Records of Ancient Emperors" in the Sword Pavilion of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Because of the long period of time, the records are not detailed.

It was only mentioned that this forbidden area was formed because of a powerful figure known as the Void Soul Emperor during the Middle Ages.

It was also mentioned, in a vague manner, that this Void Soul Emperor was very likely the only emperor in the Xuanhuang Great World who was confirmed to have fallen within several eras and millions of years.

Unlike other great emperors, he did not disappear in his later years.

As a unique emperor in each era, he is an absolutely invincible being. Theoretically speaking, it is impossible for anyone or anything in this world to kill him.

If that's the case, then how did the Void Soul Emperor perish?

Unfortunately, nearly a million years have passed since the era of the Void Soul Emperor, from the Middle Ages to the present day, and the historical truth is no longer verifiable.

Unexpectedly, the forbidden land of the Soul Sea, which was formed because of this great emperor, still exists.

Li Daoxuan also became serious.

This is, after all, a forbidden area formed after the death of a great emperor, and it is also recorded in ancient books that this place is extremely dangerous, and even a god of war would not dare to trespass.

"Oh no... Nangong Yue..."

Li Daoxuan was startled and immediately used his magic to search for Nangong Yue's whereabouts.

A few breaths later, Li Daoxuan released his hand seals, his breathing becoming somewhat rapid, and a hint of apprehension appeared in his eyes as he said:

"As expected of a forbidden area left behind by the Great Emperor..."

In this place, his Taoist magic was greatly suppressed, and he could only exert one or two tenths of its effect at most.

Fortunately, it at least had some effect.

Li Daoxuan had already sensed Nangong Yue's presence.

This forbidden area is filled with a large amount of divine soul power. This divine soul power is so powerful that it has even affected the space and time here.

This area will become a place of temporal and spatial chaos.

Therefore, the moment Nangong Yue stepped into this place, she was teleported to a corner of the forbidden area by the chaotic spacetime. Not only that, every time she moved, it would affect the spacetime turbulence around her, causing her to be teleported again.

This also made her tracks elusive and extremely difficult to track.

To find her, Li Daoxuan not only had to continuously pinpoint her location time and time again, but also had to do his best to avoid those spacetime turbulences so that he wouldn't be teleported to unknown corners.

It's easy to imagine how difficult this is.

This is why Li Daoxuan witnessed the terror of the Great Emperor for the first time.

The fact that such a troublesome forbidden area was formed merely by the power of the deceased Emperor of the Void Soul makes it hard to imagine just how powerful a living emperor would be.

According to Li Daoxuan's calculations, let alone the Five Qi Realm, even if he were to further cultivate to the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, he would probably still be inferior.

"The Great Emperor... could it be that he attained the Celestial Immortal status through martial arts?"

Li Daoxuan made his own guess.

However, he cannot verify this now, since he has neither seen a real emperor nor experienced the splendor of a celestial being.

A direct comparison is not possible.

But one thing he was certain of was that if he could not cultivate to become a Celestial Immortal, even if he condensed the Three Flowers, he would never be a match for the Great Emperor.

Li Daoxuan proceeded cautiously, tracking Nangong Yue's movements as he made his way there.

After all, he had promised to take her to Tianxiang City, and he couldn't go back on his word.

However, Nangong Yue's condition was not very good.

Her mind was already disturbed by the omnipresent soul power in the forbidden area of ​​the soul sea, and she couldn't tell which way was which.

During each spatial teleportation, Nangong Yue suffered from a splitting headache, and her soul felt as if it was about to leave her body.

In this extreme chaos and fear, she panicked and triggered the spacetime turbulence once again, and was teleported away.

On the other side, Li Daoxuan suddenly paused, realizing something was wrong.

He couldn't sense Nangong Yue's presence at all.

No matter what kind of Taoist method it is, it won't work.

"If it can render my magic ineffective, then it means that Nangong Yue has been teleported to a place with the most concentrated soul power."

Li Daoxuan turned to look into the depths of the forbidden area, where it was rumored that there was something that could kill even a martial god.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Daoxuan immediately rushed over there.

In order to protect himself, he directly used the power of "Upright and Shadowless" to make his body ethereal. Although "Upright and Shadowless" is mainly for physical attacks and not very effective against these terrifying soul powers, it can at least protect him from the interference of those spacetime turbulence.

After using the Righteous Shadowless Technique, Li Daoxuan's speed increased significantly, and he quickly approached the core area.

Suddenly, an extremely dangerous feeling welled up in my heart.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Daoxuan retreated rapidly.

Once I regained my balance and looked again, I saw that a fog had suddenly appeared in front of me.

The mist spread extremely quickly, and wherever it passed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was instantly dissolved, leaving only a lifeless aura.

The key point is that Li Daoxuan sensed an extremely strong divine soul power within it—no, not just one, but thousands upon thousands of them.

It was as if countless people had gathered together and simultaneously swept across the land with their divine soul power, like an anthill in nature, leaving nothing but barren land in their wake.

However, while ant nests devour tangible matter, this mist devours the human soul.

Therefore, the spirit in the mist can no longer be called a spirit; it should be called a vengeful spirit.

"How could so many vengeful spirits gather together? How many people must have died?"

Li Daoxuan was astonished.

The number of vengeful spirits in the mist was countless; most were human, but there were also some beastly creatures.

Even Li Daoxuan felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this scene.
