Chapter 4125: Chapter 4125: Soul Seeking Sect (Second Update)

Upon saying this, the Water God Pearl reappeared in Ye Chen’s hand. This Water God Pearl seemed to indeed belong to the Daoist elder, for as soon as it appeared, phenomena manifested again, ancient aura streaming out, and Ye Chen even felt the pearl communicating intentions to the Daoist elder.

The Daoist elder looked at the Water God Pearl and smiled without any malice, waving his hand. A scroll flew towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen caught the scroll, opened it, and saw a portrait of a woman. The woman was extraordinarily beautiful, with eyes full of compassionate radiance, an exceptional aura, and a cold, transcendent allure.

Looking at the woman in the scroll, Ye Chen showed a puzzled expression, and couldn’t help but look up at the Daoist elder.

"Hehe, this woman is Moon Deer. She was once trapped in a perilous situation for millennia, but now she’s cultivated a human form and escaped her predicament, claiming the title of Soul Seeker Saintess, which implies searching for the Moon Soul Witch."

The Daoist elder looked at Ye Chen’s astonished gaze, smiled calmly, stroked his long hanging eyebrows, and then continued, "Although this Soul Seeker Saintess now possesses extraordinary power, she is still not enough to shake the Upper Realm Empress, so she remains in hiding."

"Elder, do you know where the Soul Seeker Saintess is now?"

Ye Chen hurriedly asked.

"Of course, I know."

The Daoist elder nodded and then said, "Currently, the Soul Seeker Saintess is hidden in the Outer Realm’s Moon Soul Domain, within the Soul Seeking Sect, waiting for the right moment."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly. Although the Daoist elder did not seem like someone who would lie, Ye Chen couldn’t determine the truth.

At that moment, a disturbance suddenly came from the long quiet Samsara Graveyard. The Moon Soul Witch, who had been paying attention upon hearing about Moon Deer, stepped out of the tombstone and spoke, "What he said is true."

Hearing this, Ye Chen understood in his heart, and immediately handed the Water God Pearl to the Daoist elder.

The Daoist elder smiled upon seeing this, gently catching the Water God Pearl, smiling compassionately as he stroked it, then put it away.

Ye Chen knew that what the Daoist elder told him was the truth, and felt very grateful, as it was related to many powerhouses in the Samsara Graveyard.

Just as he was about to thank the elder, he found that the Daoist elder had disappeared, leaving behind only a profound and uniquely flavored sentence echoing in Ye Chen’s mind.

"Yin and Yang converge, ultimately entering Samsara."

"This!"

Ye Chen’s eyes shone with amazement, the words of the Daoist elder shook his heart. Although Ye Chen didn’t quite understand them now, there was no doubt they were related to the Yin Yang Divine Palace.

"Could it be that this elder is another strong figure of the Yin Yang Divine Palace besides Elder Qi Yunshu?"

Ye Chen speculated, but no one could give him an answer, and thinking too much was meaningless, so he stopped dwelling on it.

Since he had learned of Moon Deer’s whereabouts and promised the Moon Soul Witch to find Moon Deer, Ye Chen sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing.

Ye Chen had already decided that once his injuries healed, he would send Jin Shuhui away and then immediately head to the Soul Seeking Sect in the Moon Soul Domain.

...

Several days later, amidst a range of towering mountains, Ye Chen had already escorted Jin Shuhui back and was now on his way to the Soul Seeking Sect.

Along the way, Ye Chen inquired about various information regarding the Soul Seeking Sect, and based on his previous understanding of the sect, he now had a fair idea of what kind of sect the Soul Seeking Sect was.

The Soul Seeking Sect was an extremely peculiar and mysterious sect because it never participated in any activities with other forces, completely standing out in the Ten Thousand Realms, without intersecting with any forces. Not even for the Sect Ascension Ceremony.

Because of this, many people weren’t even aware of the Soul Seeking Sect’s name, but those who did knew it well and held deep reservations about it.

This was because anyone who entered the Soul Seeking Sect would end up mysteriously disappearing, and no one had ever emerged alive, earning it the chilling nickname of the Soul Stealing Sect.

After some more time, Ye Chen finally reached the Soul Seeking Sect. The sect appeared utterly dilapidated, with old, broken stones everywhere and overgrown with weeds. No one was guarding the entrance.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, recalling the rumors about the Soul Seeking Sect, which seemed indeed unsettling.

However, Ye Chen knew the true situation of the Soul Seeking Sect, as this was where the Soul Seeker Saintess, or Moon Deer, resided, so he wasn’t overly worried and directly strode into the Soul Seeking Sect.

As soon as Ye Chen set foot into the Soul Seeking Sect, even before he could survey the sect’s internal setup, he felt his divine soul tremble, overwhelmed by a vast and terrifying aura that made his head ache as if it might burst, leaving him dazed and drowsy.

"This place is indeed strange!"

At this moment, Ye Chen was shocked in his heart. His divine soul was considered monstrous across the Outer Realm, yet now it was being shaken!

He swiftly activated the Destruction Divine Dao, releasing the destructive power to repel the surging mysterious aura, regaining some clarity.

Ye Chen’s gaze turned cold as he directly utilized the Illusion Breaking Eye to survey the surroundings, discovering that strange runes floated through the surrounding void, glowing with the chilling Soul-devouring Seal.

"This is..."

Upon witnessing the scene, Ye Chen’s expression turned grave. He suddenly realized these runes and seals seemed related to the legendary array formation from the ancient Soul Seizing Array.

"The Ancient Soul Seizing Array!"

Ye Chen was solemn. This array formation was likely one reason so many who set foot here had perished.

At this moment, the Soul Seizing Array’s soul-devouring runes began to emit brilliance, converging into an incredibly grotesque monster the next instant.

As this monster appeared, a terrifying soul-devouring aura erupted violently, even shaking the Heavens, making Ye Chen’s divine soul feel unstable, like a candle flickering in the wind and rain.

Right then, the monster gazed at Ye Chen and suddenly opened its enormous, ominous mouth and inhaled sharply.

"Hmph, trying to kill me? That alone isn’t enough!"

Ye Chen laughed coldly, thrusting forward with the Slaughter Sword the next moment. The Destruction Divine Dao exploded as he leveraged the monster’s suction, piercing into its giant mouth.

The next instant, the monster’s body began to bloat and shrink bizarrely, like an inflating balloon, as the vast and boundless destructive power flooded into its body.

"Boom!"

The monster exploded with a thunderous bang, causing the soul-devouring runes floating in the surrounding void to shudder and their light dimmed somewhat.

However, immediately afterward, these runes burst out with even brighter light, as endless waves of monsters gathered, and in a flash, hundreds of soul-devouring monsters appeared around Ye Chen.
