Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 480: The Remaining Soul

"Who are you? Where are you?"

Yun Che stopped, turned around, looked around and shouted. The sound just now was so close that it seemed to be coming from his ears.

Half an hour before the aura of the Ancient Xuan Ark appears, the space will vibrate more and more intensely. Now that the space of the Ancient Xuan Ark is quiet, Yun Che naturally does not need to leave in a hurry. Over the past six months, he has been trying to figure out where the voice that keeps ringing and that is obviously directed only at him comes from.

As usual, he didn't receive a response for a long time after he called out.

Yun Che began to scan the surroundings... what he heard just now was very real, and the source of the sound was very close to him. Real sound attenuates with distance, and so does soul sound. He was almost certain that the source of the sound was not even ten steps away from him.

Yun Che walked slowly to the middle of the high platform, scanning every corner carefully. At this time, a slight red light flashed across his eyes, and his gaze suddenly froze, landing on the end of the high platform against the wall. Yun Che had discovered this red light on the first day he entered the Ancient Xuan Ark and also found its source. However, because he had no ability to blast away the floor tiles at that time, although he was curious and surprised by the red light, and I have a vague feeling that there seems to be a hidden space below, but I am unable to detect it.

Yun Che walked over and stood at the spot he had found. He leaned down and from the tiny crack under his feet, he saw a faint red light flickering from the ground, appearing and disappearing.

Yun Che pondered for a while, then concentrated his profound energy in his hand and punched the stone slab at his feet.

Bang! !

Yun Che's fist was bounced, and the feedback feeling and sound proved that this stone slab did not seem to be thick... at least much thinner than the stone door that he spent half a year to blast open. He no longer hesitated and sat down, concentrating on his left hand, Feng Yan, right hand Feng Yan... For half a year, he spent more than 80% of the time repeating the fusion process, so he was very comfortable in guiding and controlling the power in the entire process.

Not long after, Bing Yi and Feng Yan merged into a slightly swaying ice blue flame in Yun Che's hand. As Yun Che's palm turned over, the Bing Yan fell lightly on the stone slab below.

To Yun Che's surprise, the stone slab under his feet was much thinner than he expected. It was almost as thick as a piece of paper. After the ice flames fell, this stone slab was like a layer of ice that was melting rapidly. The ice flames quickly disappeared, and the ice flames spread around, destroying the stone slab until a perfect circular gap nearly a foot wide was completely extinguished.

Looking through the vacancy created by the ice flames, Yun Che saw that there was indeed a hidden space below, with red light flickering in the space.

What's down here?

Could that sound come from the space below?

The gap of one foot wide was barely enough for Yun Che to jump directly.

After Yun Che hesitated for a while, he finally moved forward and jumped from the gap.

The space hidden under the high platform was not high. Yun Che only jumped down less than two feet, and his feet had already stepped on the cold, flat ground. There was no dangerous aura coming from the surroundings, but Yun Che's nerves were still tense, and he raised his eyes to look ahead.

This space is not big, only about ten feet in length. It is empty and spotless, except for a red light group standing on the ground in the center of the space.

This light group was about as tall as Yun Che's body, and it was in a standard round shape. The red light it released was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, but overall it was relatively soft and did not have any aggressive aura.

This is……

Yun Che walked over and stood in front of the light group. Although the red light was not intense, it was very rich and prevented Yun Che from entering even half of the light group. However, his intuition told him that something seemed to be wrapped in this red light group.

What is this?

The Ancient Xuan Ark must have existed for an extremely long time. In Jasmine's words, it is "so long that you can't even imagine". After such a long time, this light group is still emitting red light, which shows how extraordinary it is.

Yun Che stretched out his arm and tentatively reached towards this light group.

"Don't touch it!"

Jasmine's voice rang in his mind, causing Yun Che's movements to freeze immediately. His arms retracted sharply, and his body quickly retreated as if he had been electrocuted.

"Hmph, you dare to reach out and touch it without knowing the situation clearly. Do you want to die?" Jasmine said coldly.

"What exactly is this light group?" Yun Che asked. The light group that had not been extinguished for countless years must contain a power that was too powerful for him to understand. He tried to reach out and touch it, which was indeed a bit rash.

"This is not a ball of light, but a very strong protective barrier," Jasmine said cautiously: "It looks innocuous, but if you dare to touch it rashly, it will fight back immediately... It will fight back at its lowest level. , enough to make you die tens of thousands of times!"

It can be described by Jasmine as "extremely strong". You can imagine how terrifying this red light group is. Jasmine's sentence "its lowest counterattack is enough to make you die tens of thousands of times". It's not alarmist. Yun Che's heart skipped a beat and he took a step back again.

"You...finally...are here..."

The ethereal smoke-like voice slowly sounded in this underground space, and this time, it was no longer a soul transmission, but a clear and extremely real woman's voice. Not only Yun Che heard it, but even Jasmine heard it clearly.

This voice was much closer than before, as if coming from right in front of him. Yun Che quickly turned his head and looked around, and said cautiously: "Who are you?"

As soon as Yun Che's voice fell, a dim white shadow suddenly slowly appeared next to the red light... This was the figure of a woman, dressed in white, slightly short in stature, with half-white hair, and a slightly stooped figure. Her body proves that she should be an old man who has already entered her old age.

"You...are you?" Yun Che was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously made a sound. The figure of the old man in front of him was very blurry, as blurry as a wisp of white smoke, which seemed to be blown away by a breeze.

On the first day after entering the Ancient Xuan Ark, Jasmine told him that the person who summoned him was most likely a soul body...a soul body like Jasmine. However, Jasmine's soul body is no different from a real girl when viewed with just the eyes. And because she was attached to his life, he could also touch her existence, just like touching a normal body. But the soul body in front of him was ethereal, like a candle in the wind.

"I am a guardian...guarding my little master..." The old man made a light and old voice. It takes a long time for her to send out a voice transmission from the soul, but she seems to have no problem with face-to-face voice transmission: "I have been looking for you...I have been looking for you...for a long time...for a long time..."

"You... are looking for... me?" Yun Che pointed at himself, then glanced at his left hand and said, "Are you looking for... the Sky Poison Pearl?"

"That's right...I control the profound ark...crossing one space after another...just to find the Sky Poison Pearl..."

"Wait!" Yun Che had a look of surprise on his face: "The profound ark you are talking about is the huge profound ark I am in now? Is it controlled by you?"

"In the beginning...it was indeed controlled by me...but...at that time, I was also poisoned...every breath was destroying my life and soul...in order to preserve the consciousness of protecting the little master... ...I gave up my body and 80% of my soul... leaving only a remnant of my soul... and was no longer able to control the Xuan Ark... The Xuan Ark followed the memory mark I left behind... and continued to shuttle through the fixed space... over and over again. ...Three hundred years of reincarnation...The power of the Xuan Ark...has been constantly being depleted...to this day...its power...is also approaching exhaustion..."

"Fortunately, God is pitiful... At the end of my remnant soul... the end of the Xuanzhou's destruction... I finally waited for you..."

Yun Che opened his mouth slightly and quickly digested the old man's gentle and shocking words. This huge mysterious ark was actually controlled by someone... The old man in front of me was actually able to control such an amazing mysterious ark before! And the Xuan Ark appeared in Tianxuan Continent for a fixed period of three hundred years, and traveled through fixed spaces for a fixed period of three hundred years... Was it also because of this old man?

"'The end of the remnant soul' is indeed true." Jasmine said with a touch of pity in her voice: "This remnant soul will dissipate soon...it will not exceed a hundred breaths of time! Can the remnant soul disappear before it disappears? Finally, Baixi found the person he had been looking for...and it seemed that he didn't need to be pitied."

Within a hundred breaths? Yun Che's heart suddenly moved. He looked at the old man's misty figure and asked, "Who are you? Why are you looking for the Sky Poison Pearl... What can I do for you?"

The old man did not detect any ill feelings from Yun Che, which was the most gratifying thing for her. She said slowly: "I am just a guardian... my little master... my race... has long been forgotten by the world... there is no need to mention it again... my little master... the terrible poison in her body ...The chaos... can only be solved by the Sky Poison Pearl... In order to prevent the poison from spreading... the young master was sealed into the 'Eternal Nexus'..."

"The Nexus of Eternity?"

The old man's voice became more and more ethereal: "Chaos is turbulent...Fighting battles between gods and demons...The sky is overturned...Gods are mourning and the sky is crying...I took the little master to escape in the mysterious boat...'The Eternal Nexus' sealed the little master's Her body and soul... also allowed her breath to disappear into the chaos... thus allowing her to escape that earth-shattering disaster... As long as she uses the Sky Poison Pearl to purify the demonic poison on her body... she can wake up again. ...I have been miserable all my life, but I can finally achieve good results..."

Demonic poison... Demonic poison! ? These two words from the old man's mouth made the aura of Jasmine in the Sky Poison Pearl slightly chaotic... because what she was poisoned by was also a kind of demonic poison. Moreover, it is the most terrifying of all demonic poisons - the God-killing Death Poison! Likewise, only the Sky Poison Pearl can purify and eliminate it.

The old man's voice became softer and softer, and the content began to seem a little confusing. She didn't want to tell the identity and origins of herself and her "little master", but she seemed to be telling the scenes and fragments of the past involuntarily. And her figure, which was already as thin as a mist, became even thinner at this moment.

She was a guardian, and she was willing to give up her body and 80% of her soul in order to protect her for a longer period of time... until the last moment when her remaining soul was about to completely dissipate. Yun Che couldn't help but be moved by this. He glanced at the red light group and said, "Is your 'little master' being guarded in this light group? The Sky Poison Pearl is indeed on my body. If It can really save your 'little master', and if it doesn't cause any harm to me personally, I will try my best."
