We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

The sight and feeling stirred up Su Chen's memories.

He vaguely remembered the scenes he experienced when he returned to the Ten Directions World with Gu Xiaoyao.

Although they were inside the passage, they could still see the general outline of the Ten Directions World from the outside.

If he remembered correctly, back then, although there were chains and darkness outside the Ten Directions World, it wasn't as terrifying as it is now.

The chains and darkness before me were several times greater than before.

Now that he heard the mysterious voice, he finally understood the reason.

It turns out that the Heavenly Demon had been secretly plotting this attack on the Ten Directions World, waiting for the opportune moment to completely destroy it.

"Is there no other way?"

Thinking of all this, a sense of urgency welled up in Su Chen's heart.

Seeing this, he guessed that it wouldn't be long before the Heavenly Demons launched a full-scale attack on the Ten Directions World. Time was of the essence, and he had to improve his strength as soon as possible so that he could survive the invasion of the Heavenly Demons.

"There is a way," the voice said after a moment's hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen's expression softened slightly, and he quickly asked, "What method?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you're planning to enter the Land of Extreme Yin with the divine weapon, right?" the mysterious voice asked.

Su Chen nodded; he did indeed have this idea.

Seeing this, the voice said, "That won't do. I can only send you the divine weapon. If I take you with me, I'm afraid the Heavenly Demon will discover us before we even leave the Ten Directions World. At that time, not only will you die, but I will also be implicated."

"You can only send my divine weapon to the land of extreme yin?" Su Chen was taken aback.

He hadn't expected the other person to suggest this method, but after thinking about it again, he didn't care.

No matter what the method, as long as one of the Heaven-Slaying Blades can enter the extremely Yin land, it will be acceptable.

Whether or not he receives it is irrelevant, since the one who truly needs to break through is the Heaven-Severing Blade, not him.

Even so, he still had a question in his mind, so he asked, "Senior, if he only sends my divine weapon, can he ascend to immortality without me by his side?"

Neither he nor Duan Tian Dao knew the conditions required to advance to the celestial soldier level.

If the master needs to be present when the upgrade to a Celestial Weapon is needed, wouldn't that be a waste of the opportunity?

The mysterious voice chuckled, seemingly mocking Su Chen's worries as unnecessary: ​​"You underestimate the difficulty of advancing to a Celestial Weapon, and you overestimate your Divine Weapon. Let me put it this way: as long as your Divine Weapon has the ability to advance to a Celestial Weapon, it can still advance successfully even without you. The real problem is not with you, understand?"

Su Chen understood immediately and felt relieved.

The Heaven-Slaying Blade transmitted its voice to Su Chen: "Su Chen, since that's the case, then I'll go alone."

With no other choice, Su Chen had to agree.

"Then I'll trouble you, senior, to deliver my divine weapon to the land of extreme yin," Su Chen said to the mysterious voice.

The mysterious voice didn't make a move, but quickly said, "You need to know that this journey is fraught with peril. Although I don't know the quality of your divine weapon, I do know that out of nearly ten thousand divine weapons, only one will advance if you're lucky, and the whole thing will be wiped out if you're unlucky. Once a divine weapon fails to advance, there's no chance to rebuild it; it will simply become a pile of scrap metal. At that time, you, as the owner of the divine weapon, will also be affected. At best, your cultivation will decline; at worst, you will die and your cultivation will be destroyed. You should think this through carefully."

He knew far more about the affairs of the Ten Directions World than Su Chen did, and he was also aware of the crises the Ten Directions World would face in the future.

Su Chen is a Martial Immortal. Regardless of whether he has a divine weapon or not, he will be a participant in the war and will be able to directly influence the outcome of the battle.

If the failure to advance a divine weapon results in irreparable damage, it would be a huge loss for the Ten Directions World.

He naturally didn't want to see this, which is why he tried to persuade him again.

Unfortunately, Su Chen's mind was made up, and no amount of persuasion could change his mind. In the end, he had no choice but to agree: "Since that's the case, then so be it."

"Thank you for your trouble, senior." Su Chen and Duan Tian Dao thanked him.

The mysterious voice said, "Don't rush. Before we send him away, I have something to tell you."

"whats the matter?"

"It's about the Land of the Dead Souls. Since the Sect Master of the Purple Sun Sect has passed this key to you, you are now the master of the Land of the Dead Souls. According to the rules, you must try to use this key to control the Land of the Dead Souls."

Controlling the Land of the Wraiths?

Ji Ziyang did not mention this to Su Chen.

He was somewhat surprised and puzzled. According to this rule, shouldn't Ji Ziyang be in control of the Yin Soul Land?

The mysterious voice knew what Su Chen was thinking and explained, "Not just anyone can control the Yin Soul Land. Ji Ziyang once tried to control the Yin Soul Land, but he failed in the end. Hmm, it seems that since the first master of the Yin Soul Land succeeded, no one has been able to successfully control it. You probably won't succeed either, but you should still give it a try."

"it is good!"

Su Chen didn't think about it for long and quickly agreed.

Anyway, it's just a trial, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

However, he still asked, "Won't it be like going to an extremely yin place, where trying it could be fatal?"

"No, failure won't affect you in any way..." the mysterious voice replied.

"When will it start?" Su Chen asked.

"Now you can."

The mysterious voice suddenly became ethereal, and as the voice faded, Su Chen felt as if the scenery around him had changed in an instant.

It no longer felt eerie; instead, it had a strange and terrifying quality to it.

……

Where is Su Chen?

Outside, Duan Tian Dao noticed that Su Chen had disappeared in the blink of an eye and couldn't help but ask.

The mysterious voice spoke: "He is undergoing a test."

"Where do I receive him? I can't sense his location." Duan Tiandao's voice was urgent.

He could not sense any connection with Su Chen at all.

Doesn't this mean that if the mysterious voice were to attack Su Chen, he wouldn't even know?

The mysterious voice explained, "He is not in this space-time, so naturally you cannot sense him. After you go to the extremely yin place, he will not be able to sense you either."

The Heaven-Slaying Blade fell silent.

After a pause, the mysterious voice spoke: "However, we can examine his current condition."

"Senior, what do you think?"

The mysterious voice remained silent, but Duan Tian Dao suddenly felt a fluctuation in the world before him.

"what?"

Not long after the fluctuation occurred, a mysterious voice suddenly rang out.

The Heaven-Slaying Blade could sense the unease in the voice, as if it had encountered something incredible.

Just as he was about to ask a question, he suddenly froze, because he found that Su Chen had reappeared in front of him.

"What's going on?" Not only was Duan Tian Dao somewhat bewildered, but even Su Chen found it strange.

"You, how could you have taken control of the Land of the Dead so quickly?"

It wasn't until the mysterious voice rang out that the two realized what was going on.

The test is over?
Su Chen was somewhat bewildered; he had no idea what was going on.

He felt as if he had suddenly entered an unfamiliar space and time, and then stayed there for an unknown amount of time. Before he could even figure out what was going on in that place, he inexplicably returned. Now, hearing what the mysterious voice said, he was even more bewildered.

"I don't know either," Su Chen told the mysterious voice about his experience.

The mysterious voice did not answer, but instead sent a burst of power into Su Chen's body.

"do not move!"

Su Chen originally wanted to resist, but was persuaded by the mysterious voice. Moreover, he did not detect any malice from the other party and ultimately let the other party test him.

"Haha, just as I thought! You cultivated the power of the Five Elements of Yin, which is why you were able to directly gain the recognition of the power of Yin Souls!"

A moment later, the mysterious voice rang out in a cheerful tone, revealing the real reason.

It turns out that the condition for mastering the Yin Soul Land is that the martial artist must possess the power of the Yin Five Elements.

That mysterious space-time was a place that helped martial artists cultivate the power of the Yin Five Elements. Unfortunately, over the years, almost no successor of the Ziyang Sect had succeeded in cultivating it. It was not until Su Chen appeared that the Yin Soul Land recognized it.

Although the Yin Five Elements power within Su Chen's body was not cultivated in the mysterious space, it still led to the same goal: the Yin Five Elements power. Naturally, it met the requirements of the Yin Soul Land. Therefore, not long after Su Chen entered the mysterious space, the Yin Soul Land recognized him without him having to do anything.

Now, Su Chen has become the master of the Yin Soul Land. He no longer needs a key to open the Yin Soul Land, and he can leave and enter from the outside world at any time. His control over the Yin Soul Land is even stronger than that of the mysterious voice.

The moment he took control of the Land of Souls, he also learned the identity of the mysterious voice. He was the Lord of the Souls of the Land of Souls, controlling all the souls in the Land of Souls. He was also a powerful guardian of the Land of Souls, whose strength was beyond even Su Chen's comprehension.

"It seems that all of this is fate." The Lord of the Underworld sighed deeply after hearing Su Chen's story.

While others struggled to control the Yin Soul Land, Su Chen gained control of it shortly after entering.

He would never believe it was not fate.

"Alright, now that you control the Land of Yin Souls, I can deliver the divine weapon to the Land of Extreme Yin for you."

After expressing his feelings, the Lord of the Underworld said that he was preparing to leave with the Heaven-Severing Blade.

Su Chen nodded: "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

"It's alright, but before you leave, I must tell you something. There are two treasures in the Land of Yin Souls: a Yin-Yang Mountain and a Yin Soul Pool. The Yin-Yang Mountain produces an extremely mysterious stone that contains the laws of heaven and earth. You'll see for yourself when you get there. As for the Yin Soul Pool, it can give birth to Yin Souls. If you have the opportunity, you can use the power of the Yin Soul Pool to cultivate. The water of the Yin Soul Pool can enhance a martial artist's primordial spirit, even for Martial Immortals. It will be the same for you..."

In the end, the voice of the Lord of the Underworld grew weaker and weaker, and disappeared along with the Heaven-Severing Blade.

"Yin-Yang Mountain, Yin Soul Pool?"

Su Chen seemed to be deep in thought, and decided to take a closer look at the two treasures mentioned by the Lord of Yin Souls.

He immediately digested all the information from the Yin Soul Land, and half an hour later, Su Chen opened his eyes, his eyes shining with joy.

"Yin Yang Mountain is very likely the Law Crystal I need!"

After reviewing all the information about Yin-Yang Mountain, Su Chen was overjoyed, feeling that it was very similar to the Crystal of Laws.

Although it was just a guess, for some reason he was very confident.

Therefore, he could no longer suppress his eagerness and quickly headed to Yin Yang Mountain.

He is now the master of the Land of the Dead, and he can reach any place in the Land of the Dead in an instant.

Upon arriving at Yin-Yang Mountain, Su Chen saw this entirely black mountain peak. The peak wasn't very high, only about two or three hundred meters high, but the laws it contained were extremely dazzling, second to none in the entire Yin Soul Land.

"Try it!"

The simplest way to test this is to directly absorb the laws of Yin Yang Mountain. If it can cause an improvement in the panel, then it is a Law Crystal.

Su Chen immediately took action, quickly refining the energy within the ore.

At first, the panel did not change, but as more and more power of the laws was absorbed, the panel finally showed progress.

This means that Su Chen's guess was true.

'It really is a Crystal of Law!'

After confirming that it was a Crystal of Law, Su Chen was speechless with excitement.

He couldn't wait to take action immediately, refine all of this ore, and absorb all the power of the laws.

However, he forced himself to calm down.

'There's also a Pool of Souls. Let's check out the Pool of Souls first, and then deal with Yin-Yang Mountain!'

Since he is the master of the Yin Soul Land, Yin Yang Mountain is located there and cannot be moved. He doesn't need to rush in the short term; it's not too late to check out the Yin Soul Pool before making any plans.

In the blink of an eye, Su Chen arrived at the location of the Yin Soul Pool.

The name "Soul Pool" sounds elegant, but it is not actually a pool of water; rather, it is a huge lake.

Within the lake, the power of malevolent spirits surged continuously, and malevolent spirits were born from time to time.

"The Lord of the Underworld said that the Underworld Pool can enhance the primordial spirit, and even the Martial Immortal is no exception. I wonder if it's true."

Su Chen was somewhat skeptical, since once you reach the Martial Immortal level, the only way to further enhance your primordial spirit is to improve your realm.

It's almost impossible to achieve with just external objects, unless they are rare treasures from heaven and earth.

However, in his eyes, the Yin Soul Pool was not a rare treasure of heaven and earth; otherwise, Ji Ziyang's primordial spirit would have become incredibly powerful long ago.

Despite his disbelief, Su Chen still decided to give it a try.

After all, even if it's fake, it won't have a big impact on him, but if it's real, he'll make a fortune.

'Hiss, my primordial spirit seems to be really getting stronger!'

After using the Yin Soul Pool water to nourish his primordial spirit, Su Chen keenly noticed that his primordial spirit seemed to be slowly getting stronger.

Although the increase in strength was not significant, it at least proved that the Lord of the Underworld was right.

The Soul Pool can indeed enhance one's primordial spirit.

'If I absorb all the water from the Yin Soul Pool, wouldn't my primordial spirit become several times stronger?'

Gazing at the boundless pool of Yin Souls, Su Chen's heart trembled slightly.

This trip to the land of ghosts yielded unexpectedly great results.

Not only did he obtain the Crystal of Law, but he also gained the Pool of Yin Souls and became the master of the Land of Yin Souls.

"Should we go to Yin Yang Mountain to refine the Law Crystal first, or enhance our primordial spirit at the Yin Soul Pool?"

Su Chen fell into deep thought. He wanted both, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

He quickly came up with a solution.

"Refine the Law Crystal with your physical body, and absorb the Yin Soul Power from the Yin Soul Pool with your primordial spirit—kill two birds with one stone!" (End of Chapter)
