Chapter 0405: Divine Power Martial Soul

Qin Yun was deeply curious about the black-clad elder's martial soul. He had just witnessed the elder using the legendary Wall-Penetration Divine Ability to pass through the door.

"Senior, your martial soul must be extraordinary, right?" Qin Yun asked with an expectant smile, his hand pressing on the elder's abdomen as he began to extract the martial soul.

The black-clad elder screamed in agony!

"Spare me... please!" the elder cried out in desperation.

At that moment, Feng Honglan hurried out from the secret chamber.

As soon as she emerged, she saw the black-clad elder and couldn't help but exclaim in shock. She never expected that the elder who had once extracted her martial soul would now be having his martial soul extracted by someone else.

The black-clad elder also saw Feng Honglan, and his despair deepened.

"Old man, did you ever think this day would come when you were extracting others' martial souls?" Xiao Yuemei giggled. "This is what they call karma! Don't worry, the people from Totem Pavilion will meet the same fate as you!"

Xiao Yuemei eagerly took out her small mirror, ready to reflect the elder's martial soul.

With Wei Zhongzheng present, the black-clad elder couldn't self-destruct his core and could only watch helplessly as his martial soul was extracted.

When Qin Yun finally extracted the martial soul, everyone was astonished.

The martial soul was actually blue!

Red martial souls are rare and only manifest their full power in the Spirit Martial realm.

But a blue martial soul? Qin Yun was completely baffled!

Xiao Yuemei also looked at Wei Zhongzheng in surprise and quickly asked, "Grandpa Wei, what exactly is a blue martial soul?"

Qin Yun placed the martial soul into a Soul-Sealing Orb, equally curious.

"This... this is a Divine Power Martial Soul!" Wei Zhongzheng exclaimed with delight. "Once awakened, the bearer can master the divine abilities inherent to the martial soul!"

The black-clad elder, seeing his martial soul in Qin Yun's hands, felt as if his heart had died. He deeply regretted coming to this small building and cursed the Soul-Devouring Serpent for leading him into this disaster.

"My Wall-Penetration Divine Ability Martial Soul... give it back to me!" the elder snarled, his face twisted with rage. "You will all meet a gruesome end! I am crucial to Totem Pavilion, being the only Soul Refinement Master in the northern region. If I die, Totem Pavilion will obliterate your Nine Profound Mystic Order, leaving no survivors!"

Wei Zhongzheng sneered, "Back when our Nine Profound Mystic Order lacked Martial King realm experts, Totem Pavilion still failed to destroy us. What makes you think they can do it now?"

Xiao Yuemei quickly used her mirror to reflect the Divine Power Martial Soul. After successfully recording it, she laughed joyfully, "Now I possess this Divine Power Martial Soul as well!"

The black-clad elder, upon seeing Xiao Yuemei's martial soul, was even more shocked. Just as he was about to speak, Wei Zhongzheng threw him into a furnace.

"Grandpa Wei, did you get hurt when you returned from Sword Profound Mountain?" Feng Honglan asked with concern.

"Not a scratch! I razed Sword Profound Mountain to the ground. They had been blocking the sale of Purple Frost Xuan Grass, obviously targeting me!" Wei Zhongzheng chuckled. "Miss Honglan, you were expelled from Immortal Sound Profound Mountain. Why not become part of our Nine Profound Mystic Order?"

"Honglan! You have a knack for cultivating plants. Joining our Nine Profound Mystic Order, you could help us cultivate spiritual herbs and such!" Qin Yun quickly added.

"Do you truly not look down on me?" Feng Honglan asked softly.

"How could we?" Wei Zhongzheng smiled. "We always welcome exceptional disciples like you!"

Touched by Qin Yun and Wei Zhongzheng's kindness and lack of disdain, Feng Honglan gladly accepted.

"Honglan respectfully bows to the Sect Leader!" Feng Honglan promptly bowed to Wei Zhongzheng.

"Our Nine Mystic Profound Sect doesn’t have so many formalities. As long as we help and respect each other within the sect, that’s enough! Everyone should live in harmony, like family." Wei Zhongzheng laughed happily.

Over the years, the Nine Mystic Profound Sect had only recruited a few disciples.

"Young Yuemei, would you like to join our Nine Mystic Profound Sect?" Wei Zhongzheng asked with a smile.

"No, I like to be free and unrestrained!" Xiao Yuemei giggled. "If you make me an elder in the Nine Mystic Profound Sect, then I might consider it!"

"You want to be an elder? That’s very tiring!" Qin Yun scolded with a laugh.

"Then I won’t do it!" Xiao Yuemei pouted. "It’s getting late, I’m heading back to bed!"

Qin Yun looked at Feng Honglan and asked, "Hong Lan, how is Hong Lan’s Martial Soul now?"

"It’s improving, though it’s still a bit small. It’s sure to grow stronger over time!" Although Feng Honglan only showed her beautiful eyes, one could see from her gaze that she was very happy at the moment.

Feng Honglan also returned to her room to continue cultivating her Martial Soul.

Wei Zhongzheng and Qin Yun remained in the hall.

"Xiao Yun, keep your art of soul refinement under wraps! If the Totem Pavilion finds out, it won’t be good!" Wei Zhongzheng said.

"Only people I trust know I’ve mastered the art of soul refinement," Qin Yun smiled. "Sect Leader, the Martial Souls in Wuhuang are incredibly varied!"

"Indeed! So many bizarre and unique Martial Souls—I’ve never even heard of some of them!" Wei Zhongzheng said. "Not only Martial Souls, but countless other magical things exist in the Nine Wastelands!"

Qin Yun thought of the mysterious Cloud Dragon Mountains and asked, "Sect Leader, has the dragon in the Cloud Dragon Mountains been slain yet?"

"No! That dragon is incredibly powerful—it’s not easy to defeat! Martial King Hong Ying battled that dragon and returned wounded!" Wei Zhongzheng frowned. "The Cloud Dragon Mountains are likely the most enigmatic place in Wuhuang!"

Qin Yun remembered that Zi Qingcheng had mentioned before that the tomb Jian Xuanzi and the others found wasn’t the real Immortal Bone Burial Ground!

"At first, we believed there was only one Immortal Tomb in the Cloud Dragon Mountains! But now it appears there are multiple Immortal Tombs in the Cloud Dragon Mountains!" Wei Zhongzheng recalled this matter and couldn’t help but feel heavy-hearted.

"Sect Leader, what myths surround the Cloud Dragon Mountains? Why do so many Immortal Tombs exist there?" Qin Yun now felt much more at ease because the truly strongest Immortal Tomb required the Burial Immortal Map to reach.

"The legends simply state that Immortal Tombs lie within, and their burial items are all Immortal Artifacts from the Immortal Wasteland!"

The Immortal Wasteland, one of the Nine Wastelands, is an ancient realm above the Spirit and Demon Wastelands!

To reach the Immortal Wasteland, you must first pass through the Spirit Wasteland!

"Then why doesn’t everyone head to the Immortal Wasteland? Couldn’t they acquire countless Immortal Artifacts there?" Qin Yun asked curiously.

Wei Zhongzheng shook his head and said, "To reach the Immortal Wasteland, you must first pass through the Spirit Wasteland! And the passage to the Spirit Wasteland has a gate—even if multiple Martial Kings teamed up, they couldn’t open that gate!"

"Even if the gate to the Spirit Wasteland were opened, you’d still have to brave that terrifying passage to enter!"

Qin Yun now knew how difficult it was to enter the Spirit Wasteland!

"Xiao Yun, get some rest!" Wei Zhongzheng patted Qin Yun’s shoulder.

Qin Yun went back to his room, pondered Xie Qirou and the Immortal Bone Burial Ground, and drifted off to sleep.

...

The next morning, Xiao Yuemei knocked on Qin Yun’s door and called softly, "Brother, someone wants to challenge you!"

Qin Yun had just woken up when he heard this news. He quickly opened the door and frowned, "Challenge me? Is it a martial contest? Send him away and tell him to wait until the contest starts!"

"No, there's a guy who found out you're a Runes Master and wants to challenge you!" said Xiao Yuemei. "I don't know when the news spread, but they're saying you're a Senior Runes Master..."

"When I was in Beiling City, Yue Sha knew I was a Senior Runes Master, so it must have been exposed then!" Qin Yun thought for a moment and smiled. "They only know I'm a Senior Runes Master, they don't know I've become a Runes Master yet!"

"So, are you going to deal with that guy?" Xiao Yuemei asked.

"Not interested!" Qin Yun waved his hand. "I have other things to do!"

Xiao Yuemei added, "That guy seems to be from the Qingtian King Sect, and he's very young and arrogant. As soon as he saw the Martial King Hongying, he said he wanted to marry Sister Mengzhu!"

"Mengzhu isn't blind, she probably won't marry the wrong person!" Qin Yun laughed.

"I don't want Mengzhu to marry that jerk, and it seems like Martial King Hongying is about to agree!" Xiao Yuemei quickly grabbed Qin Yun's hand. "If that fool Mengzhu marries that jerk, she'll be terribly bullied!"

Qin Yun smiled, "Alright, alright! I didn't expect you to care so much about Mengzhu!"

"Hmph, I just care about her, what's wrong with that? She saved you once in the palace, you can't just stand by and watch her marry that jerk!" Xiao Yuemei pulled Qin Yun out of the room. "Getting a girl out of an engagement is your thing, who else is going to do it if not you?"

"Yuemei, where are the sect leader and Hong Lan?" Qin Yun asked.

"The sect leader took Hong Lan to see his friends, said it was to suppress the deadly poison in her body!" Xiao Yuemei pulled Qin Yun out of the small building and hurried towards the high tower.

...

The second floor of the Runes Hall tower was a fancy hall.

Here, many important people were mingling, and the whole place was buzzing.

After Xiao Yuemei pulled Qin Yun up, she shouted, "Chu Longjie, Qin Yun is here, didn't you say you wanted to challenge his rune skills? Come out quickly!"

The buzzing hall suddenly became very quiet, and everyone immediately looked towards the door.

Xiao Yuemei was wearing a simple white dress, while Qin Yun was in a fitted black outfit. Both looked pretty plain and simple, but they carried themselves just as well as the fancy-dressed nobles.

Everyone knew Qin Yun had arrived and had injured Princess Chenwei, taking away Feng Honglan, whose martial spirit was destroyed and her appearance ruined.

Princess Chenwei got a hundred lashes, and this incident had spread throughout the Runes King City, totally humiliating her and pissing off King Song.

Song Chenwei originally came to participate in the beauty contest, but now she can't even enter the Runes Manor!

Here, many people had never seen Qin Yun before, so they were all very carefully observing him.

Everyone admired Qin Yun greatly, daring to hit someone in the Runes Manor, and it was Princess Chenwei at that. Such courage is not something everyone has.

"Whoever challenged me, come out now, I don't have all day!" Qin Yun looked calm, scanned the people in the hall, and shouted loudly.
