59: Chapter 58 Entering the Spirit Realm, Hunting Souls

Of course, compared to the Heavenly Tomb of the Gu Clan, the Spirit Domain of the Ling Clan also has its own advantages.

The Heavenly Tomb only opens once every twenty years, and the duration of each opening is limited.

The Spirit Domain is different; one can enter at any time, with no limit on duration or frequency. As long as one has the qualifications, one can enter to Cultivate whenever one wishes.

Even experts at the Heaven Realm Great Perfection, like the Ling Mie, can enter the Spirit Domain.

However, the number of Soul Spirits within the Spirit Domain is small, and they are low-tier Soul Spirits, so the improvement for experts at the Heaven Realm Great Perfection is almost negligible.

Members of the Ling Clan rarely die, so Soul Spirits are relatively limited.

Therefore, the Ling Clan has a clear regulation: only the top Geniuses within the clan are qualified to enter the Spirit Domain.

They try their best to concentrate the limited Soul Spirit resources on those with the best talent, allowing them to grow rapidly.

Ling Yuan's talent and Bloodline are undoubtedly the best among the younger generation of the Ling Clan; naturally, there is no need to say more about his qualifications to enter the Spirit Domain—he can certainly enter.

No one in the clan would compete with Ling Yuan for the Soul Spirits in the Spirit Domain because, among the younger generation of the Ling Clan, only he is qualified to enter the Spirit Domain; others do not even have the qualification to step into it.

It is unknown whether this is fortunate or unfortunate...

Two days passed in a flash.

He handed the two Heavenly Flames to Yao Chen, letting him decide when to have Cao Ying refine them.

If her strength is insufficient in the early stages, she can first refine a few Beast Fires to adapt before slowly attempting the Heavenly Flames.

As for Medusa, Qing Lin, and Xiao Yi Xian, since he had provided sufficient resources, Ling Yuan did not restrict their freedom.

It did not matter if they wanted to go out and gain experience.

Having arranged all the trivial matters inside and outside the clan and with no further worries, Ling Yuan followed his mother to the Legacy grounds of the Ling Clan.

The Legacy grounds were located deep within the Ling Clan, a small, heavily guarded plaza. The area around the plaza was protected by a Restriction, and it was heavily guarded, with no one allowed to approach at will.

The ground of the plaza was inscribed with many strange runes, crisscrossing and faintly exuding a subtle Soul fluctuation.

As soon as Ling Yuan stepped into the plaza's perimeter, he felt a gentle force envelop him, and he instantly had the sensation of his Soul being purified.

Ling Yuan secretly thought, "What a great place."

Mother Ling did not follow him in; she stood outside the plaza and said to Ling Yuan:

"Son, walk to the center of the plaza, sit cross-legged, and prepare to enter the Spirit Domain."

Ling Yuan did as instructed.

"Mother, I am ready."

Ling Yuan was curious about what the Spirit Domain he was about to enter would look like.

Seeing this, Mother Ling nodded slowly, and a black scale appeared out of thin air in her hand, inscribed with runes similar to those on the plaza floor.

She raised her hand and slowly poured her Dou Qi into the black scale, which instantly lit up with a faint glow.

As the Dou Qi was injected, the runes on the ground of the plaza where Ling Yuan was located also lit up one after another, the light growing increasingly intense, enveloping the entire plaza.

But after the light flared up, there was no other movement; there were no violent fluctuations, nor were there any signs of spatial distortion.

The next second, Ling Yuan felt his Soul suddenly detach from his Physical Body. It felt light and airy, as if it were being pulled by an invisible force, quickly traversing through space, and a moment later, he was brought into a strange space.

Ling Yuan subconsciously looked down at his body, discovering that it had become somewhat illusory, lacking substance, and possessing only a dense Soul fluctuation.

"Is this… I have already entered the Spirit Domain?"

Ling Yuan whispered to himself, his eyes filled with a trace of curiosity, and he immediately began to size up this strange space.

He carefully perceived his surroundings and discovered that this space was filled with dense Soul fluctuations.

They were everywhere, with tiny specks of Soul light floating in the air; inhaling a breath made him feel his Soul heating up slightly.

"As expected of the Ling Clan's Legacy grounds; even if one does nothing here, just inhaling these Soul light specks is faster than improving outside!"

After exclaiming about the power of this Spirit Domain, Ling Yuan strode forward.

He had heard from his mother that the Soul Spirits in the Spirit Domain were distributed from weak to strong according to their strength; the deeper one went, the stronger the Soul Spirits became.

As long as one did not actively challenge Soul Spirits that were much stronger than one's own Soul, there would not be any great danger.

After walking forward for about a few minutes, the surrounding Soul fluctuations gradually became a bit denser, and Ling Yuan finally encountered his first Soul Spirit.

The Soul Spirit had a humanoid upper body with a blurred face, while its lower body lacked substance, looking like a floating mass of mist, exactly like the ghosts in legends.

It stopped not far away, about a hundred zhang from Ling Yuan, motionless, as if it had no consciousness, only emitting faint Soul fluctuations.

The Soul Spirit stopped a hundred zhang away, motionless.

Ling Yuan slowly approached, and when he was within a hundred zhang of the Soul Spirit, it suddenly moved. It did not make a sound, nor did it make any unnecessary movements, just rushed straight toward Ling Yuan.

It was quite fast, but Ling Yuan casually shot out a condensed Soul attack. It was extremely fast and instantly pierced through the center of the Soul Spirit's brows.

The strength of its Soul was only at the Mortal Realm Late Stage, very vulnerable.

After the Soul Spirit was killed, it did not dissipate but turned into a drop of pale blue liquid, floating in the air and exuding a pure Soul aura.

"This thing must be Spirit Liquid... the core essence of a Soul Spirit, capable of directly nourishing the Soul."

Just as Ling Yuan was thinking about how to refine it, without waiting for him to actively guide it, the drop of pale blue Spirit Liquid automatically floated toward him and gently merged into his illusory Soul body.

The pain he expected did not occur; instead, a gentle warmth spread through his Soul, making his whole body feel very comfortable. The fatigue completely disappeared, and his Soul was also improving bit by bit.

Half an hour later, Ling Yuan had completely finished fusing with this drop of Spirit Liquid, and that comfortable warmth gradually disappeared.

A powerful Soul force suddenly came from the surrounding space, starting to squeeze his Soul body from all directions.

Soul Pressure, consolidating the Soul that had just been improved, avoiding the Soul from becoming floating due to rapid improvement!

He did not resist, just let this Soul Pressure squeeze him, and he could clearly feel a slight stinging pain coming from his Soul.

The Soul Power that had just been improved by refining the Spirit Liquid was quickly compressed by half by this pressure.

But he could also feel that the Soul, after being compressed, became purer and more compatible with his own Soul, becoming much more stable.

Enduring this Soul Pressure, a full ten minutes passed before the pressure slowly weakened and finally disappeared completely.

Ling Yuan slowly stretched his Soul body and carefully sensed his Soul, discovering that it had indeed become stronger.

The degree of improvement was not small; it was more than ten times faster than his own Soul Cultivation, and his Soul Foundation had also become much more stable.

This was just a Soul Spirit of the Mortal Realm Late Stage; there must be stronger ones ahead, and refining those would certainly be even faster!

Looking at it this way, in a year or two, raising his Soul Realm to the Spirit Realm Great Perfection really did not seem like a difficult task.

After realizing this, Ling Yuan was immediately excited!
