Dean Qu Qiu of Zhuoyan Academy faces Dean Zhang Feiyu of Profound Ice Academy, who blocks his path to the Holy Soul Origin. Zhang Feiyu, a newly advanced Soul Realm expert, mocks Qu Qiu for being stuck at the Domain Realm and reveals his intention to seize Qu Qiu's spot for the baptism. When Li Chen intervenes, Zhang Feiyu's disciple attacks, only to be instantly incapacitated by Li Chen's mere words. Enraged, Zhang Feiyu attempts to retaliate but is swiftly kicked away by Red Moon, who urges Li Chen to proceed with the baptism.

In terms of strength, Zhang Feiyu is not considered weak.

At least on the Purple Fir Continent, he is certainly not considered weak. As a Soul Realm expert, he is a respected figure wherever he goes.

However, his luck clearly isn’t great; he’s encountered Li Chen.

And Li Chen just happens to want to ’relax’ a bit.

More unfortunately, the Red Moon clearly has no favorable impression of people like them.

So, the esteemed head of the Profound Ice Academy from the Naval Empire, teacher and student, one was frightened into wetting himself and the other was kicked away.

"Uh..." Qu Qiu looked a bit embarrassedly at the two beside him: "Will this be a bit too much?"

"What’s so bad about it?" Red Moon snorted: "Just two incompetent pieces of trash."

"Let’s go." Li Chen shook his head, not intending to further pursue the matter, and gestured to Red Moon to signal Qu Qiu to move together.

"Alright." Helplessly, Qu Qiu had no choice but to nod.

There’s no real hatred between him and Zhang Feiyu, at most just some private conflict, but evidently Li Chen and Red Moon didn’t intend to harm them, merely giving them a little lesson, which, in Qu Qiu’s view, was for the best.

"Hopefully, they can remember this lesson, otherwise... that’s their own doing." Qu Qiu thought somewhat helplessly.

In his view, these two possibly came from a higher plane of power, definitely beyond what they could afford to offend.

Not mentioning how strong they are, at least one of them is incredibly powerful, right?

Honestly, having been on the Purple Fir Continent for so many years, he had seen many Soul Realm experts, but never one like Red Moon.

Looking at Red Moon felt like gazing at a vast ocean.

The word lingering in his mind was only one.

And that was... unfathomable.

Even when he glanced at Li Chen, he occasionally had that feeling, but given Li Chen’s cultivation was only at the Earth Level, he naturally considered it a mere illusion.

Even earlier when Li Chen scared Zhang Feiyu’s disciple into wetting himself, he believed it must have been Red Moon assisting.

However, Qu Qiu was also curious.

What kind of background does this white-haired youth have to have such a powerful protector?

At this age, with only Earth Level cultivation, he would probably be considered mediocre even on the Purple Fir Continent, right?

Except for the white hair, Qu Qiu couldn’t see anything special about Li Chen.

But this mediocre youth, apart from the white hair, with not too many distinctive features, still has such a powerful guardian devoted to him.

Qu Qiu could observe that, for the white-haired youth, even someone as strong as that red-robed youth dared not disobey him in the slightest.

The situation was undoubtedly quite strange.

"Besides the Holy Souls, are there other things on the Origin of Holy Souls?"

Walking on the Origin of Holy Souls, Li Chen seemed to have thought of something and asked Qu Qiu beside him.

"Other things?" Qu Qiu was puzzled.

"The Holy Souls of the Origin of Holy Souls only appear once every ten thousand years, but this place is occupied by so many ferocious demons, doesn’t it seem strange?" Li Chen said, "The spiritual energy in this place is not necessarily very rich, right? But despite that, there are so many powerful ferocious demons here, am I the only one who finds it odd?"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Qu Qiu suddenly remembered, enlightened.

"Now that you mention it, I just remembered." Qu Qiu nodded: "Indeed, on the Origin of Holy Souls, besides the Holy Souls that appear once every ten thousand years, there is also the Moon Well."

"Moon Well?" Red Moon also showed curiosity.

"This Moon Well is quite strange. Although it seems to have no significant benefits for cultivators, it has a ’spiritual awakening’ effect on beings like ferocious demons."

"Ferocious demons residing near the Moon Well gradually acquire wisdom over time and become smarter and smarter. Eventually, these demons can break away from the range of ferocious beasts and become genuine members among cultivators."

"There’s such a thing?" Li Chen showed a surprised expression.

Something like this, he hadn’t heard of even during his time in the Starry Universe.

Apparently, only in this Jianmu Universe can this be seen.

However, obviously, such a thing as the Moon Well wasn’t particularly useful to him.

"How long until the Holy Soul descends?" Li Chen looked at the sky and asked Qu Qiu beside him.

"Based on my calculations, it should be within these few days." Qu Qiu said honestly.

Although he didn’t know why Li Chen wanted the Holy Souls, he was aware that questions he shouldn’t ask were best left unasked.

"Hmm." Li Chen nodded; since it would only take a few days, he didn’t mind staying for a bit.

But if it took too long, he wouldn’t waste time here.

After all, he still needed time to restore his cultivation.

Several days passed quickly.

During these days, Li Chen had been cultivating in hiding to restore his cultivation.

However, for some reason, his cultivation progress was extremely slow, yet despite the slow progress, Li Chen could feel his strength gradually becoming stronger.

Whenever he utilized that transparent energy, he would experience a strange illusion.

It was as though his energy was a transcendent power capable of penetrating everything.

Of course, he knew it was just an illusion.

Even without verifying the true power of that energy, given his current state, if confronted with low-level cultivators, he might scare them with his Divine Soul. But if a Dao Saint arrived, they could probably slap him to death.

"There’s a lot more people."

When Li Chen opened his eyes, he saw that there were many cultivators on this plain.

Some were talking in groups of three or five, while others sat alone in silent meditation.

Some cultivators even set up stalls here, with passersby occasionally stopping to pick over the items.

This scene made Li Chen a bit speechless.

Indeed, where there are more people, there are more things.

Just like when Li Chen went to the Immortal Domain’s Immortal Treasure Realm, as a crowd entered the realm, those unqualified to enter immediately set up a temporary marketplace outside.

However, the Origin of Holy Souls was noticeably different.

Not to mention that the time in the Origin of Holy Souls wasn’t as long; when the Holy Soul descends, it would be a free-for-all, making peaceful coexistence impossible.

So, this scene was already quite good.

As Li Chen pondered whether to casually browse these Jianmu Universe "specialties," dark clouds suddenly drifted across the sky. In a blink, the firmament turned utterly black.

At that moment, Li Chen heard Qu Qiu beside him mutter quietly.

"The Holy Soul has arrived."
