Chapter 55: Chapter 55: News of the Next Heavenly Flame (End of the Arc)

    ?

    Xiao Yan didn''t proceed further into the Hall of Souls'' Treasure Hall. Instead, he directly exited the test.

    Now with Soul Points in hand, he could first check the goods outside to see if anything was suitable, and it wouldn''t be too late to exchange them for a Soul Training Method afterward. With a rustling sound, Xiao Yan pushed aside the curtain and emerged from the dark passage. He looked around the dilapidated Soul Sacrifice Old Shop, feeling as if he had finally returned to the real world.

    "I really didn''t expect you to come back."

    Recognizing the familiar voice, Xiao Yan knew it was Hun Lao Gui. "How long was I in there?" he asked.

    There was no concept of time in the Soul Path, nor were there the rising and setting of the sun and moon to keep track of it. He only knew he had indeed spent a significant amount of time inside.

    "Jie Jie Jie, less than two days."

    Xiao Yan frowned. "How is that possible? Although I didn''t keep an exact count, I was in there for at least four days. Could it be that time moves differently in the Soul Path than it does on the outside?"

    Hun Lao Gui revealed his large yellow teeth and mocked, "Why fret over such a trivial function as slowed time flow? The time discrepancy in the Heavenly Tomb is even longer than that of the Soul Path."

    "Heavenly Tomb?"

    "Jie Jie Jie, you''ll naturally come to know once you reach a certain level of strength."

    Xiao Yan couldn''t help but comment when he heard this laughter that resembled that of a ghost, "Has anyone ever told you that your laughter is pretty strange?"

    Hun Lao Gui slowly opened his eyes, revealing a mouthful of rotten teeth as he smiled and said, "This is a tradition of our Hun Clan. The secrets within are not something you would understand."

    Xiao Yan could only shrug his shoulders. He didn''t want to pry into others'' affairs too much, especially since his purpose here was to spend.

    He walked around the few shelves in the old shop, took a close look at the items, and asked, "Don''t you think there are too few items in this old shop of yours?"

    "This is the Soul Sacrifice Old Shop in the Black-Corner Region. As long as you have Soul Points, the Hall of Souls can help you accomplish anything, even unifying the entire Black- Corner Region. Moreover, the Soul Sacrifice Old Shop is connected to the Treasure Hall. If you want to exchange for items from the Treasure Hall, you can do so here as well."

    Xiao Yan''s eyes narrowed. This was exactly what he had thought. Soul Points were basically the circulating currency of the Hall of Souls. One could even command the people of the Hall of Souls as long as one could afford the cost.

    Moreover, the Hall of Souls surely had more than just this small amount of influence in the Black-Corner Region. Many factions within the region were likely under the shadow of the Hall of Souls, and anything needed could be traded through the Soul Sacrifice Old Shop.

    On the surface, it was merely an old shop, but in reality, the network of relationships that this shop had within the Black-Corner Region was probably intricate and complex. Perhaps even the Jia Nan Academy had the lackeys of the Hall of Souls.

    Xiao Yan threw the Soul Command onto the table with a casual thud and asked, "What can I purchase now?"

    "Why?"

    "The Sea Heart Flame is in his possession. My Hun Clan has a Secret Technique that can strip

    the soul and extract the Heavenly Flame."

    The Sea Heart Flame, ranked 15th on the Heavenly Flame Ranking!!!

    Legend had it that this Heavenly Flame was born deep in the ocean, a product of the collision between undersea volcanic eruptions and the immense pressure of the sea. The Sea Heart Flame appeared as a deep blue flame that looked exceedingly mystical. As the flame rose, it slowly spread out like clear sea water, with gentle ripples resembling water waves.

    This Heavenly Flame could even burn on water and spread upon contact with it, which was quite miraculous.

    The Fallen Heart Flame was ranked 14th, and the Sea Heart Flame was ranked 15th. Even if Xiao Yan managed to obtain either of them, given his current physical strength, the likelihood of being burned to death was greater...

    "The methods of your Hall of Souls are truly wicked to the extreme, stripping the soul to transfer the Heavenly Flame," Xiao Yan slowly shook his head, rejecting the suggestion.

    "Jie Jie Jie, wicked? We in the Hall of Souls do not distinguish between good and evil, only between strong and weak. If you are strong, then you are right."

    Xiao Yan continued to ask, "Is there anything else, preferably a weaker Heavenly Flame?"

    "There is indeed. The Ten Thousand Beast Flame."

    !!!!!!!

    Xiao Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart. The 22nd-ranked Ten Thousand Beast Flame!!!

    This Heavenly Flame was perfect for his current Dou Master strength. Ranked 22nd, it was second to last. If even this didn''t work, he would have to wait until his strength increased a bit

    more.

    Xiao Yan asked with a calm face, "Where is it?"

    "Jie Jie Jie, kid, this will cost you Soul Points. But let me warn you, with your strength, you could die at any moment in the place where the Ten Thousand Beast Flame resides." "Just say it. You guys from the Hall of Souls always like to beat around the bush?" Xiao Yan

    gave him a sidelong glance.

    After Hun Lao Gui''s finger traced over the Soul Command to deduce the soul points, a spiritual voice was transmitted into Xiao Yan''s mind.
