The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 539, Flaw

Wei Zhenjie knew that Hua Changxi would not submit, but he did not expect her to be so decisive, opening the Nine Nether Soul Realm with only the Vermilion Bird Army.

The five generals of Xuanyuan were also somewhat bewildered.

Lu Zhenting suddenly spoke in a low voice: "The Hall of Preaching really needs to open as soon as possible. Some cultivators in the mausoleum lack a sense of the overall situation of the human race."

Wei Zhenjie glanced at him: "Have you contacted the instructors?"

Speaking of this, Lu Zhenting's tone was somewhat helpless: "Those who were invited all expressed their willingness to come to Xuanyuan Mansion to teach, but the timing is not quite right."

"Some people are breaking through their bottlenecks, some are in seclusion, and one is exploring secret realms and ruins. In short, everyone is busy with their own things, and the opening of the Hall of Preaching will have to wait a little longer."

Those capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of teaching the prodigies of the human race are no ordinary people. Most of those invited by the Xuanyuan Mansion this time are veteran cultivators who have cultivated for over a thousand years.

However, since the Xuanyuan Mansion has not yet truly appeared in the world, although they travel outside under the name of the Xuanyuan Mansion, they cannot truly represent the Xuanyuan Mansion and exercise the power to command the human race.

When you need something from someone, you can only rely on their schedule and be more accommodating.

Since the resurgence of spiritual energy, resource allocation has been a major challenge, and the mobilization of talent has become even more difficult.

Wei Zhenjie was well aware of the current situation and difficulties of the Xuanyuan Mansion, so he did not ask any further questions, and the topic was dropped.

"Go back."

The Demon Suppression Army and the Xuanyuan Army arrived in haste and then departed just as quickly.

On the warship, the Demon Suppression Army and Xuanyuan Army, upon learning that the Palace Master of Lingguang Palace had led the Vermilion Bird Army into the Soul Realm, exchanged bewildered glances with varying expressions.

"This Lord of Lingguang Palace is truly something else."

Chu Junyi received the message at the last minute and, along with his trusted confidants including Meng Ziyu, abandoned all his affairs and rushed back from the Nine Netherworld Gate.

In the end, it was all for nothing.

Meng Ziyu chimed in, "Just as the rumors say, he acts without any scruples."

Sheng Pengyun sighed, "No one likes being coerced, especially a powerful person like the Lord of Lingguang Palace."

Ye Jingzhou, however, held a different view: "But sometimes, for the sake of the overall situation, compromises must be made. This applies to the minister, and it also applies to the five generals of Xuanyuan."

"The Lord of Lingguang Palace is so unconventional and domineering, but in the end... he will offend all the forces."

"If it's evil, then it's evil!"

Jiang Yan snorted coldly, "The Palace Master of Lingguang Palace has the ability and confidence, why should he feel aggrieved?"

"I've long disliked those powerful families and clans. They talk about righteousness but do nothing but enrich themselves. I think sometimes it's because the minister has been too lenient with them that they've become so demanding."

Chu Junyi did not participate in his subordinates' argument; his thoughts drifted to the mysterious Lord of Lingguang Palace.

Hua Changxi...

Although there is no conclusive evidence yet, based on his understanding of his master and the various clues he has collected, he is 90% certain that Hua Changxi is the Lord of Lingguang Palace.

As a member of the Hua family, she was not close to her family and was even reluctant to help them.

As the peak master of the Pill Saint Hall, she was extremely generous to her disciples, never stingy with resources.

As the master of Lingguang Palace, she deliberately concealed her identity and rarely appeared in public.

He was incredibly high-profile in the Dan Sheng Hall, yet excessively low-key in the Ling Guang Hall. This person was truly contradictory.

Amidst his turbulent thoughts, Meng Ziyu suddenly leaned over and whispered to Chu Junyi, "Boss, how about I find a pretext to transfer Hua Hongyi to my command?"

Chu Junyi glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.

Seeing his reaction, Meng Ziyu chuckled and said, "Then I'll take that as your tacit consent." With that, he slipped away.

The news that the warships of the Demon Suppression Army and the Xuanyuan Army had flown to Lingguang Palace but returned empty-handed quickly spread to all sides.

All factions were dumbfounded when they learned that the Lord of Lingguang Palace had activated the Nine Nether Soul Realm and led the Vermilion Bird Army inside.

At Sihai Restaurant, Tong Yao, Yan Zhenzhen, and Jing Liao reunite.

Yan Zhenzhen glanced at the two silent people and spoke first: "The Palace Master of Lingguang Palace is actually not very good at hiding himself." A person's words and actions have a fixed pattern, especially those who wear their emotions on their sleeves, making them easy to recognize.

When Changxi was recruiting apprentices for the Dansheng Hall, she was met with a joint attack from various forces, and her counterattack was fierce that time.

Tong Yao and Jing looked over but did not refute.

Tong Yao sighed, "Actually, the first time I met Changxi, I had a very strong impression of her. Her aura was undeniable, very eye-catching, and very distinctive. Anyone who has interacted with her will probably be left with a deep impression."

Currently, the reason why various forces are still unable to confirm the identity of the Palace Master of Lingguang Palace is because most people have not had contact with her.

Jingliao said with concern, "But this characteristic of hers is, to some extent, a very big flaw."

Yan Zhenzhen looked at Jingle: "I think you are worrying too much. Changxi has her weaknesses, but her strengths are also very obvious. She has gone much further than us on the path of cultivation."

He cleansed his face, his brows furrowed, and said nothing more.

Tong Yao spoke up: "The Soul Realm has already opened, but we don't know when it will open again. Let's discuss the specifics of our training trip to the South China Sea."

"By the way, I plan to take Hua Liulang with me when I go to the South China Sea for training."

Yan Zhenzhen and Jing Liao exchanged a glance and both indicated that they had no objections.

The Nine Netherworld Soul Realm.

Hua Changxi released the Soul Domain and unleashed the Vermilion Bird Army.

The reason she constructed the Soul Domain was that when she struck the Netherfire Match, her mind automatically received some information about the Soul Realm.

For example, the number of people who can enter the Soul Realm is not unlimited.

The maximum number of people allowed is determined by the strength of the soul power of those who open the Soul Realm.

Generally speaking, those who obtain the Netherfire Match will use their own soul power to maintain the operation of the Soul Realm entrance. When their soul power is exhausted, the Soul Realm entrance will close.

But Hua Changxi can construct a Soul Domain, so the rule for her has become how many people she can bring into the Soul Domain.

Fortunately, she had taken the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Soul Heart Fruit, which made her soul domain strong enough to bring all 20,000 people in.

But this is pretty much her limit.

Hua Changxi hummed to herself, thinking that while everyone else thought she was asking for too much, she now felt that her offer was too low.

Besides the limit on the number of people, she also learned that once a cultivator enters the Soul Realm, their soul power will automatically be teleported out once it reaches the limit that their body can withstand.

[Realm: Nascent Soul Realm 99.99 billion/99 billion; Divine Sense: 10 billion+ points]

Hua Changxi checked his spiritual data and felt somewhat disheartened.

The limit of her spiritual power that she can currently withstand is 10 billion points, which means that if she absorbs another 100 million points of soul power, she will be teleported away.

What a loss!

If she had known that the Soul Realm was like this, she wouldn't have absorbed the Soul River water.

The soul power in the Soul Realm was indeed dense, so dense that it directly penetrated into the body.

Hua Changxi quickly said to the Vermilion Bird Army, "Each of you should find a suitable place to cultivate. Remember, the Soul Realm is also a secret realm, and secret realms are inherently dangerous. You must be careful."

"Once your soul power reaches the limit that your physical body can withstand, you will be automatically teleported out."

"Alright, dismissed."

She needed to investigate the state of the Soul Realm before her soul power reached its limit.

As soon as the Vermilion Bird Army disbanded, Hua Changxi flew away into the distance. After getting away from the Vermilion Bird Army, she released A Niu, Yu Hui and others from the Sumeru Pearl.

Hua Changxi repeated what he had just instructed the Vermilion Bird Army, and then told them to find their own training grounds.

She herself found a place with abundant soul power and began to cultivate the "Twelve Styles of Soul Control" and some soul techniques in the "Soul Codex" that were suitable for human cultivation.

She only began to probe her soul realm after her soul power had been depleted by more than half. (End of Chapter)
