Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1409 - 409: Soul Power Sphere

"No."

Gu Lianxing shook her head repeatedly.

Xiao Yi frowned. Although he had expected that Gu Lianxing would be unwilling to leave, he still preferred to investigate alone.

Gu Lianxing seemed to see through Xiao Yi’s thoughts and said solemnly, "Young Master Xiao Yi, don’t worry about me."

"I’ve already said it before. Since I only have a few months left to live, what’s a little danger to me?"

"I’m going too," Gongsun Huowu hurriedly said.

Xiao Yi frowned again. He had already guessed that Gongsun Huowu would definitely follow Gu Lianxing.

"Fine, suit yourselves," Xiao Yi shook his head.

Looking around, the runaway soul power had already subsided.

In the sky, apart from the continuous illusion light and the colorful hues swirling around, there were no other abnormalities.

It seemed that there wouldn’t be any danger for the time being.

Whoosh...

Xiao Yi grabbed the two by their arms and instantly turned back through the air.

The direction was towards the depths of the dangerous land, the distant Illusion Light Cave Mansion.

If the soul beasts within the Illusion Light Dangerous Land did indeed erupt in a beast tide, Xiao Yi admitted that he didn’t have the strength to stop it.

Within the dangerous land, the weakest demon beasts were Saint King Realm soul beasts.

The stronger ones were mostly in the Saint Emperor Realm, with some even reaching the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm, a level comparable to the Martial Arts Great Powers among human martial artists.

Most importantly, resisting a beast tide wouldn’t be a matter of a moment; without absolute overwhelming power, it would turn into a protracted battle.

As a Saint King Realm martial artist, he certainly couldn’t withstand it for long.

Even if he unleashed his full power in battle, equaling the Great Powers of Martial Arts, it would still be an extremely exhausting fight for primordial power.

Simply put, he couldn’t engage in such a drawn-out battle for long, which was why he would be helpless if the soul beast tide erupted.

If he currently had a cultivation above the Saint Emperor Realm, that would be another story.

However, although he couldn’t handle the soul beast tide, if he focused solely on escaping, the mere beast tide couldn’t do anything to him.

If there really was danger, he was confident in taking Gu Lianxing and Gongsun Huowu with him to escape.

A dozen minutes later.

Xiao Yi brought the two to the very center of the dangerous land.

Descending from high in the air, they arrived in front of the Illusion Light Cave Mansion.

The cave mansion, shrouded in a mist of illusion light, was dazzling and extremely beautiful.

Around them, it was empty.

There wasn’t a single demon beast, soul beast, or human martial artist.

"Let’s go in," Gongsun Huowu said.

There might be a way to repair Gu Lianxing’s weakened Martial Soul.

She was, of course, eager.

"Wait," Xiao Yi said gravely, starting to sense his surroundings carefully.

Almost the moment he landed at the cave mansion, his brows furrowed, and a strange feeling passed through his mind.

The entire cave mansion and its surroundings gave him a sense of ’stillness.’

Yes, stillness, an extreme stillness.

Within a hundred miles, there was no wind or sound, not even a whisper of a low-level demon beast’s breath.

"Stay close to me later," Xiao Yi said seriously.

This was the first time in days that Xiao Yi had given such a solemn instruction to the two.

With that, Xiao Yi took the lead and walked toward the cave mansion.

Gu Lianxing and Gongsun Huowu followed closely behind.

Reaching the cave mansion, Xiao Yi suddenly paused.

Outside the cave mansion, there wasn’t a single thing guarding it.

There was no High Grade Holy Artifact, nor any prohibitions.

Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, looking serious, then directly entered the cave mansion.

Upon entering, the first thing that caught his eye was a huge, wide, and empty square.

It somewhat resembled the scene inside the Heavenly Star Cave Mansion.

Xiao Yi lingered for a while, sensed his surroundings, and found no danger.

Only then did he transmit a message to Gu Lianxing and Gongsun Huowu, allowing them to enter.

They flashed inside.

Gongsun Huowu glanced around in surprise and said, "Oh, is this the Illusion Light Forbidden Land? I didn’t expect it to be exactly like the Heavenly Star Cave Mansion."

Gu Lianxing smiled and said, "Illusion Light Dangerous Land is known as the most dangerous of the Eighteen Mansions’ hazardous lands."

"The rumors here are extremely terrifying; no martial artist would dare stay in the dangerous lands every time before the full moon."

"It seems that the Illusion Light Cave Mansion over the years has only had the three of us come in to see what it’s all about."

At this moment, Xiao Yi’s gaze was fixed on the end of the square.

At the end, there was nothing.

But in his earlier speculations, he believed that the dangerous lands of the Eighteen Mansions must be connected.

Each dangerous land had phenomena; each had a cave mansion that required specific conditions to come forth.

Besides, there were those High Grade Holy Artifacts, and so on.

Now, even the layout inside this Illusion Light Cave Mansion was identical to that of the Heavenly Star Cave Mansion.

This further confirmed Xiao Yi’s earlier speculation.

So, it was likely that this empty square’s end also housed a Main Mansion like in the Heavenly Star Cave Mansion.

Xiao Yi’s figure flickered as he reached the square’s end.

"Indeed." After sensing for a moment, Xiao Yi’s face showed delight.

In his perception, although the end looked empty, there was a hidden blocking formation.

"Disperse," Xiao Yi said in a low voice.

The formation wasn’t a powerful offensive or defensive one.

Just an ordinary barrier formation.

Xiao Yi easily broke it.

Crash...

A burst of formation power dissipated into the air.

In just a moment, the formation power completely vanished.

Before them, the Main Mansion appeared with a roar.

"Just as expected," Xiao Yi’s face broke into a grin.

The Heavenly Star Cave Mansion had its Main Mansion; here, it was the same.

If his guess was correct, the other dangerous lands’ cave mansions should be similar.

However, there was human intervention in the Heavenly Star Cave Mansion.

Years ago, a Master of the Heavenly Star Prefecture sacrificed his life to take away a Heavenly Star Lamp.

Therefore, the Main Mansion within the Heavenly Star Cave Mansion had incomplete prohibitions.

Every time a martial artist entered, they first had to absorb and draw out a considerable amount of Starlight Power, so that the concentration of Starlight Power in the entire cave mansion’s square was sufficient to make the Main Mansion appear.

Yet, in this Illusion Light Cave Mansion, clearly no one had entered for countless years. There was no martial artist interference.

Naturally, the Main Mansion was merely within a shielding formation.

Once the formation dispersed, the Main Mansion automatically appeared.

Xiao Yi quickly entered, and what met his eyes was a giant, colorful ’sphere.’

The sphere was about several meters in size.

Entirely spherical, it appeared merely as an energy group.

The entire energy group was enveloped in mist, filled with various colors, extremely dazzling.

"What is this?" Xiao Yi frowned.

"Soul Power?"

Indeed, to his perception, this ’sphere’ was a mass of soul power.

The most shocking thing was the thickness and purity of this soul power, which far exceeded his understanding.

Perhaps it could no longer simply be called soul power.

Xiao Yi didn’t know how to describe it.

In sum, this soul power was pure to the extreme.

Ordinary soul power, compared to it, was like the ordinary spiritual energy filling the world compared to the extremely valuable High Grade Spirit Stone.

The gap was at least a thousand times more.

"Is this the secret, or rather, the mystery of the Illusion Light Cave Mansion?" Xiao Yi murmured in confusion to himself.
