other party's cultivation technique was truly extraordinary, allowing the spirit beast and the human body to merge as one. Not only was there no conflict, but it also increased their strength exponen...Even if most of his primordial spirit was withdrawn back into the Qingguo Barrier, the portion remaining outside was still incredibly powerful.

“Not bad, just a little Golden Immortal, who hasn't even cultivated the Law Body, yet he has such strength, and can control this soul array. He is much stronger than that guy, the Slime Soul Stone Spirit, before.” Just as Lu Xia Tian finished setting up his trump card, that powerful divine sense followed the main array and spread towards Lu Xia Tian's body.

"You offer no resistance at all. How curious."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful expert behind the Yin Soul Stone Essence. With the senior's strength, it would only take a blink of an eye to kill me. Since I'm powerless to resist, there's no need to struggle any further. However, since the senior abandoned the Yin Soul Stone Essence, there must be some other matters to attend to.” Lu Xia Tian seemed to force down the fear in his heart, and his voice carried a hint of discomfort.

"Haha, a wise person is a hero. You are quite good." The mysterious voice echoed, "What is your name and origin"

“Coming from the Eastern Region, I traversed the mortal realm and sneaked into the Immortal Realm via the Pasture Fields. I once served as a Divine Alchemist in the Honghuo Heavenly Court. However, due to bringing disciples from the lower realms into the Immortal Realm, I violated the laws of the Honghuo Heavenly Court and was forced to leave. After a period of turmoil and escape, I was taken in by the Yu Xuan Heavenly Court. During my time there, I offended someone, and while I was preparing to go to the other side of the Xuanyang Battlefield, they plotted against me along the way. Left with no choice, I had to fight back on the Xuanyang Battlefield, killing several opponents. Afterward, I couldn't stay in the Yu Xuan Heavenly Court anymore.”

“Right now, I work under the Puppet Emperor, but most of the time I'm out and about on my own, with little restriction.”

Lu Xia Tian's mind raced. The Xián Hun Stone Spirit had been entrenched in Hai Hun Palace for ages, and it turned out to be just a puppet of this mysterious old monster. Although he didn't know the old monster's purpose yet, Lu Xia Tian could roughly judge that the other party was most likely a powerful existence left behind by Hai Hun Palace.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to control the Soul Stone Spirit to this extent, and there would be no need to control it at all. Powerful figures like Hong Hao, Yu Xuan, or other celestial beings of that level wouldn't waste their time managing affairs in the Sea Soul Palace.

“Saint Dan What rank are you” the mysterious being asked in surprise.

"Rank Four."

"The rank isn't low, the other party actually spared no expense to force you into a rebellion. Some people are truly brain-dead." The mysterious voice chuckled upon hearing this, "The Soul-devouring Stone was originally mine for collecting souls. Since it has been killed by you, then you will do the rest for me."

“I am willing to serve the predecessors.” Lu Xia Tian had no choice but to agree at this time, his heart calculating quickly when he could reunite with Emperor Qinling. With his own strength, there was no way to break free from the control of the mysterious old monster. Only by relying on Emperor Qinling, this unfathomable figure, would he have a hope.

"Since that's the case, then give up resistance and let my consciousness enter your body. Rest assured, as long as you don't resist forcefully, I won't do anything to you. I just need to maintain a certain degree of control over you."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

“Okay.” Lu Xia Tian directly agreed.

As soon as the voice fell, a powerful and extremely refined divine sense infiltrated Lu Xia tian's body.

Lu Xia Tian's body stiffened instantly, suppressing the instinct to forcibly expel this foreign divine sense. Cultivating to his current level, he rarely had such a passive and helpless moment.

After a moment, this foreign divine consciousness intertwined within Lu Xia Tian's body, forming a mysterious array of divine consciousness. On this array of divine consciousness, there seemed to be a flicker of cyan-gray firelight.

"Burning Soul Flame!" Lu Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat. This soul flame was particularly effective against divine souls. Once it erupted within him, any divine consciousness that came into contact with it would be directly incinerated. This old monster was truly ruthless!

However, fortunately the monster's divine sense didn't rampage everywhere. It only formed such a formation of divine sense within his body.

The mysterious old demon's divine sense within him wasn't much, but once it formed an array, it was extremely difficult to destroy. What's more, this array concealed the soul-burning flame, making it like a porcupine covered in spikes for Lu Xia Tian.

"Rest assured, as long as you work for me with peace of mind, I will not treat you poorly." The mysterious being chuckled softly, and then the mysterious old monster's divine sense sent a large amount of information to Lu Xiaoxiao.

Among them are included methods on how to control the Xiānhún Yáo Chí, as well as the techniques for moving soul mist.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

"What you need to do next is control the soul mist to transfer to other places, helping me collect souls. Also, study the pill formula I gave you. After I gather enough materials, I will give it to you to refine."

"Good." Lu Xia Tian simply replied, and the mysterious entity had already vanished without a trace.

Lu Xiaitian's face darkened slightly. After a long pause, he took a deep breath. It seemed that the mysterious entity's purpose was to collect more souls, regardless of whether they came from demons or celestial armies from various heavenly courts.

The reason the other party abandoned the Slime Soul Crystal was most likely due to its own limited strength. It couldn't move the Slime Soul Pool, and the Soul Mist to other places. After encountering a better option like myself, the mysterious old monster simply allowed me to destroy the Slime Soul Crystal.

However, according to Yan Bei's previous words, the Soulstone Demons are constantly searching and devouring Essence Souls. It is unknown whether these Soulstone Demons ultimately become like him, controlled by a mysterious existence, or have truly absorbed the Essence Souls and left.

If it's the latter, things get interesting. The Soul Stone Demon might have someone behind it who rivals the mysterious old monster in power.

Shaking his head, Lu Xia Tian pushed those thoughts aside. Even if there were old monsters behind the Soul Stone Demon horde, it wasn't his concern. They were beyond his reach anyway. He couldn't afford to tangle with them. It was better to focus on improving his own strength. Otherwise, he'd just be working for them for a while longer.

It seems that the current situation isn't too bad. At least there's no immediate danger to life.

Following the mysterious old monster's method, I directly refined the essence of the Xiánhun Stone and attempted to communicate with the Xiánhun Spirit Pool. I felt that there were at least hundreds of thousands of various souls within the Xiánhun Spirit Pool, and they were slowly dying off, whether consumed by the previous monster or assimilated by the Xiánhun Spirit Pool itself.

Through the Xianhun Demon Pool, one can control the advance and retreat of soul mist.

In addition, after integrating the mother formation into the body, further refine it.

Suddenly, the soul corpses which had been still and seemed to have lost their power, moved again with a whoosh... Nine Ren Shan and Scorpion Demon's expressions tightened, hurriedly preparing to meet the enemy.

"Don't be afraid, it's me," one of the giant stone warriors spoke.

"East, the Eastern Saint of Dan" On Jiumin Mountain, even the Scorpion Demons, who were considered knowledgeable, couldn't help but stare in astonishment at the scene before them.
