Chapter 2363 - 2331: Qu Qiu

Chapter 2363: Chapter 2331: Qu Qiu

The old man’s name was Qu Qiu, an Earth Level Peak cultivator who was also the dean of a Cultivator Academy in the Naval Empire, one of the Seven Great Empires on the Purple Fir Continent.

That’s how Qu Qiu explained it himself.

This time coming to the Origin of Holy Souls was indeed for that Holy Soul.

He had been stuck at the peak of the Domain Realm for over a thousand years, unable to grasp the threshold of breakthrough.

And the Holy Soul could help him transform his soul into a Divine Soul. Once the metamorphosis was successful, cultivation would just be a natural progression.

There are two crucial factors from transitioning from Domain Realm to Soul Realm.

Transforming the soul into a Divine Soul, or something akin to the Primordial Spirit.

Although the names differ, the effects are roughly the same; it’s a transformation on the level of soul consciousness.

The second factor is the transformation of the domain into the domain realm.

As the dean of the Cultivator Academy in the Naval Empire, Qu Qiu naturally had reached the pinnacle of understanding regarding domains, just one step away from transforming the domain into the domain realm.

But due to the lack of soul power, he couldn’t make this step.

Therefore, to Qu Qiu, this Descent of the Holy Soul was incredibly important.

It concerned whether he could cross the Domain Realm and become a true Soul Realm expert.

As for Li Chen... he just wanted to cleanse his knowledge sea and see if the black qi was thoroughly removed.

Watching the two people sitting on the other side of his vehicle, Qu Qiu couldn’t help but twitch his lips.

He just had a bit of strong curiosity, how did he get involved with these two troubles?

As a dean of a Cultivator Academy, Qu Qiu actually came from a teaching background and was very inquisitive, so when he saw such an Earth Level at the Origin of Holy Souls, he subconsciously stopped to ask, never expecting that with one question, he ended up taking along these two fare-dodgers.

If it weren’t for Red Moon suddenly making a move, he wouldn’t have even noticed Red Moon’s presence until the blood-colored blade light splitting the space appeared, nearly scaring him to death.

Damn, that’s at least above Seventh Rank attack power, isn’t it?

Moreover, it’s definitely above the realm of Soul destruction power.

Because even just watching such a blood-colored blade light made him involuntarily feel an irresistible sensation.

Looking at Li Chen again, Qu Qiu couldn’t help but have an even more odd expression on his face.

An Earth Level who’s being protected by such a powerful young guardian? Just what is this kid’s identity?

After all, even the emperors of the Seven Great Empires might only have one or two such level guards, right?

What kind of status does a Soul Realm expert have? They are the pinnacle existence on the Purple Fir Continent! Where did this kid emerge from to have such a strong protector?

Qu Qiu stared at Li Chen for a long time, pondering without figuring out which major force on the Purple Fir Continent has such a white-haired youth.

"Dean Qu, why are you staring at me?" Li Chen asked with a puzzled face.

"No... nothing." Qu Qiu hastily withdrew his gaze and shook his head.

Yet, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t figure out which prominent family this Earth Level young man with a Soul Realm level guardian could hail from.

"Could he have torn through from another plane?" A thought suddenly stirred in Qu Qiu’s mind.

From the attack Red Moon launched earlier, he saw that the red-robed youth could casually tear through space, a powerful existence indeed!

This is the Purple Fir Continent, being able to casually tear through space implies that the red-robed youth is definitely not an ordinary Soul Realm individual, but someone capable of entering higher-level planes!

Able to enter higher-level planes... just thinking about it gave Qu Qiu a headache.

Because such a strong individual is merely serving as a guard for this Earth Level young man.

"Dean Qu, do you know how many slots are available each time the Holy Soul descends?" At this moment, Qu Qiu heard the white-haired youth speak.

"The Descent of the Holy Soul happens once every ten thousand years." Qu Qiu thought for a while, then hesitated: "As for the exact number of slots, I’m not quite sure, but there are at least ten, sometimes dozens."

"Ten to dozens." Li Chen nodded.

That made sense.

If the so-called Holy Soul is beneficial even to Soul Realm experts, then if there were only a few slots, it would never reach someone like Qu Qiu to participate from the peak of the Domain Realm. But if there are several dozen, then it’s different.

Qu Qiu considered for a moment, then said, "Although the Holy Soul is very impactful for Domain Realm, it can’t guarantee that every Domain Realm can successfully transform into a Divine Soul, so those with not enough strength, regardless of whether they get a slot or not, may still gain nothing."

"And for Soul Realm, this kind of baptism might be dispensable, not a necessity, so mostly the ones contending are people like me stuck at the peak of the Domain Realm. As for Soul Realm, there are some, but definitely not many."

Qu Qiu could see that this white-haired youth was clearly interested in the Holy Soul.

And with such a strong red-robed guardian, obtaining a slot was almost guaranteed, so he thought he might as well start a good relationship.

After all, forging connections with such level entities was immensely beneficial for him.

The so-called dignity of the strong was just that.

If Li Chen was simply an ordinary Earth Level, he’d feel approachable just being asked two questions.

As for hitching a ride?

Haha.

"I see."

Li Chen nodded, understanding that the so-called Holy Soul still needed to be fought for.

Li Chen wasn’t surprised by this.

After all, only this way does it align more with the rules of the cultivator world.

The law of the jungle.

Two Pegasi pulled the carriage across the sky, continuously approaching the center of the Origin of Holy Souls.

And indeed, as Qu Qiu said, there were indeed many powerful ferocious demons along the way. Qu Qiu made several moves to drive away those attempting to take advantage of the situation.

However, even Qu Qiu was obviously apprehensive, never daring to strike lethally.

After all, this was the Origin of Holy Souls, a gathering place for powerful ferocious demons. A rare dangerous area on the Purple Fir Continent.

If it weren’t for the once-in-a-ten-thousand-year Descent of the Holy Soul, he would never have come here.

When the carriage truly approached the center of the Origin of Holy Souls, ferocious demons actually became fewer.

Although fewer, these individual demons were getting stronger, and the difference was none dared to attack rashly, but moved at a not-so-fast pace toward the center of the Origin of Holy Souls.

Because the Holy Soul was about to descend there.

As they drew close, Qu Qiu disembarked with Li Chen and the others from the carriage, prepared to proceed on foot.

But after not walking far, two figures blocked their path.

"Oh, isn’t this Dean Qu Qiu from our Naval Empire? How come you’re here this time, and even brought juniors?"

"Dean Qu, it seems you have quite the ambition."
