Gu Sheng was exploring near the Southern Emperor's remains when he encountered a girl, Mu Xue, fleeing pursuers. She warned him to hide in the Immortal Pool before activating a powerful poison array to block their enemies. Inside the pool, Mu Xue revealed her sister, Miao Muqing, was weakening. The two then traveled deeper into the pool, where Miao Muqing took control of the body and agreed to help Gu Sheng break the Southern Emperor's seal in exchange for the Southern Emperor's remains, with Gu Sheng planning to use his soul power to overcome the final layer of the seal.

Gu Sheng felt a strange force sweeping through his entire body, as if trying to repel every inch of his flesh.

He snorted coldly, releasing his soul power, forming a thin golden membrane over his body, immediately dissolving the repulsive force like snow meeting the blazing sun.

"Continue!"

He dove another ten or so yards, and the second seal arrived in succession.

This time it was a repulsion against True Qi, and the True Qi inside Gu Sheng’s body instantly solidified, as if frozen.

But he was prepared, his soul power directly took over the control of his body, continuing the dive without relying on True Qi.

"One last level!"

Miao Muqing’s voice carried excitement.

"Be careful, this seal specifically counters spiritual power!"

As soon as the words fell, Gu Sheng felt a sharp pain emanating from his forehead... his spiritual power probing was forcibly cut off! It felt like someone had plunged a burning iron spike into his brain, causing him to groan despite his strong will.

"Hold on!"

Miao Muqing urged anxiously.

"Use pure soul power, do not mix any spiritual power!"

Gu Sheng gritted his teeth, forcibly gathering all spiritual power, retaining only the most original soul power.

That sharp pain gradually subsided.

He opened his eyes, finally seeing the scene ahead...

Miao Muqing’s soul body trembled slightly in the Immortal Pool, never having felt such terrifying soul pressure.

The purple-gold light emanating from Gu Sheng was almost tangible, dyeing the surrounding pool water in a noble hue.

"This...how is this possible..."

Miao Muqing’s voice in the soul transmission was clearly trembling.

"Your soul power actually..."

Gu Sheng did not answer, kept his eyes closed, a purple-gold rune slowly rotating at his forehead.

The soul barrier blocking their advance quickly melted and disintegrated upon contact with Gu Sheng’s soul vibrations, like snow encountering a blazing sun.

"Break!"

With a low shout from Gu Sheng, the entire Creation Immortal Pool trembled.

The purple-gold pool water boiled and churned, and the soul seal that had troubled Miao Muqing for years collapsed in an instant.

Miao Muqing stood frozen in place, disbelief written all over the face of her soul body.

She had attempted to break the seal countless times, each time ending in failure.

Yet the man before her had accomplished in moments what she had been unable to achieve over the years.

"Let’s go."

Gu Sheng collected the soul power fluctuations around him, his voice calm as if nothing had just happened.

"The seal is broken. Ahead lies the Southern Emperor’s corpse."

Miao Muqing looked at Gu Sheng with a complex expression, her soul body’s fingers clenched and released involuntarily.

"Gu Sheng, you astonish me once again."

Gu Sheng turned his head, his deep gaze directly meeting Miao Muqing’s soul body.

"Remember our agreement. If you dare play any tricks..."

His voice turned cold abruptly.

"I can make your soul scatter at any time."

"Don’t worry."

Miao Muqing forced a smile.

"I, Miao Muqing, may not be a hero, but I’m not someone to forget gratitude."

The two continued to swim deeper into the Immortal Pool.

As they went further, the color of the pool water gradually turned from purple-gold to pure white, emanating a gentle glow.

Suddenly, Gu Sheng reached out to stop Miao Muqing.

"We’ve arrived."

He said in a low voice.

A few yards ahead of them, a female corpse emitting a faint white light was quietly floating in the center of the pool water.

The corpse was enveloped in a white light shield, seemingly sleeping in another dimension.

Her appearance was stunningly beautiful, her skin flawless despite being submerged in the pool water, and her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, gently swaying with the water ripples.

Miao Muqing’s soul body jolted sharply.

"This... this is..."

"The Southern Emperor’s corpse."

Gu Sheng squinted his eyes, carefully observing the female corpse.

"Just as you said, preserved extremely well."

What was even more surprising was that the female corpse’s appearance was remarkably similar to Miao Muqing, as if once her body was fully matured, the two would be nearly identical.

Gu Sheng suddenly frowned.

"Something’s not right, this corpse... its vitality is too strong."

With his keen eye, he could clearly sense the surging life force within the corpse, something a dead body shouldn’t have.

This physical body was at least equivalent to a martial artist in the Great Success Golden Body Realm, perhaps even stronger.

Miao Muqing’s eyes flashed with excitement, she stepped forward slowly, kneeling to perform an ancient ritual.

"Ancestor above, descendant Miao Muqing comes to fulfill the mission."

After speaking, her soul transformed into a shadow, drifting toward the female corpse.

Gu Sheng instinctively felt uneasy but did not stop her.

This was part of their agreement... Miao Muqing would merge with the Southern Emperor’s corpse, while he would receive the inheritance left by the Southern Emperor.

However, just as Miao Muqing’s soul was about to touch the corpse, a sudden change occurred!

The corpse’s tightly closed eyes abruptly opened, but those eyes were black as ink, devoid of any whites.

A fierce aura exploded from the corpse, causing the waters of the Creation Immortal Pool to boil!

"Be careful!"

Gu Sheng shouted, his figure shooting out like lightning.

Miao Muqing also sensed the anomaly, but her soul had already detached, making it too late to pull back.

The corpse moved unbelievably fast, punching out with such force that even space seemed to distort!

At the critical moment, the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron’s phantom suddenly appeared from within Gu Sheng’s body, and Origin Power surged throughout him.

He grabbed Miao Muqing’s soul body, throwing her forcefully backward, while he endured the corpse’s punch head-on.

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering explosion erupted at the pool bottom, and the white light shield shattered instantly.

The powerful shockwave launched the entire pool water high into the air, making heaven and earth tremble under the impact.
