36: Chapter 36: The Saved Souls 36: Chapter 36: The Saved Souls “Yun Yi, are the souls we rescued from Mu Can also here?” Sitting beside Purple Cloud and eating Spirit Fruits, Mu Can felt every pore in his body incredibly refreshed.

Each of these fruits, not only delicious beyond words but also possesses special effects.

Having been on high alert today, it wasn’t until Mu Can finally had a moment to rest that he remembered the souls they had saved during the battle with Mu Can.

“Come on, I’ll take you to see them.” Mentioning those souls, Purple Cloud stood up immediately and took Mu Can by the hand to walk outside the valley.

Purple Cloud had already made arrangements for the souls that were absorbed into the Reincarnation Pearl.

These experiences, for them, were both unfortunate and fortunate.

It was unfortunate that they encountered Mu Can, undergoing brutal refinement, but fortunate that they met Mu Can, living within the Reincarnation Pearl, presenting them with endless possibilities for the future.

The first layer inside the Reincarnation Pearl, where Purple Cloud currently resides, is a space entirely prepared for souls.

Within the first layer, aside from a secluded valley that Purple Cloud occupies, the vast space outside has always been unoccupied.

Some of the original life forms living within the first layer of the Reincarnation Pearl came into existence due to the powerful Soul Energy in there, and not just that, the abundant Soul Energy also transformed into various miraculous fruit trees.

The Spirit Fruit that Mu Can was just eating was casually collected by Purple Cloud; ultimately, it is all powerful Soul Energy.

Purple Cloud led Mu Can to an open space.

The open space was bustling with activity: a group of people bustled about, some carrying massive trees back, apparently building houses here.

“Lord Purple Cloud.” Seeing Purple Cloud coming over, the group immediately knelt down in large numbers, shouting one after another.

Living here is all thanks to Purple Cloud saving them; these people felt profound gratitude towards Purple Cloud in their hearts.

“This is Mu Can, also the master here; you’ll follow his orders from now on.

Practice diligently here, and one day you might return to the outside world again,” Purple Cloud said lightly to the kneeling crowd.

The souls of Cultivators are much stronger than those of ordinary people; that’s why Mu Can initially targeted those Cultivators.

Purple Cloud rescued over two hundred people from Mu Can, and nearly all of them were Cultivators in life, even including an old man who possessed Martial Sect Level strength.

This also shows how deranged Mu Can has been over these years, relentlessly seeking out and killing Cultivators.

Unbound by demonic constraints, these souls were guided by Purple Cloud to shed their resentment, placed into the Reincarnation Pearl, yet also added a lively atmosphere within it.

After these souls regained their senses, Purple Cloud passed on Soul Cultivation methods to them, allowing them to live and practice within the Reincarnation Pearl.

Purple Cloud also told them, “One day in the future, I might need your help with some matters.

Once accomplished, you can leave this place for good.”

Naturally, these pitiful rescued souls eagerly agreed to Purple Cloud’s request.

The feeling of rebirth filled their hearts with gratitude, each one eager to engage in strenuous Cultivation.

“How’s that, Mu Can?

The Cultivators chosen by Mu Can almost all possess some talent.

Here, over two hundred are all strong hands; one day, they could become an exceptional force for you,” Purple Cloud said to Mu Can, looking at the people whoknelt on the ground, hardly daring to raise their heads.

“Huh?

Yun Yi, I don’t have experience managing these people either; the most I’ve done is lead a group of brothers back at the academy,” Mu Can said awkwardly.

Suddenly being told that he had a large group of people to manage, Mu Can severely lacked confidence in himself.

“If you can’t even handle this small matter, how will you ever help me take revenge in the future?

You don’t think you can traverse the Immortal World without any power, do you?” Purple Cloud said to a self-doubting Mu Can with a calm tone.

It was as if Purple Cloud’s tone ignited a spark in Mu Can, a relentless surge of defiance bubbling up within him.

“What have I to fear?

Yun Yi, I don’t even know the meaning of fear; just watch me!” With a surge of boldness in his heart, Mu Can couldn’t bear the thought of Purple Cloud looking down on him.

Taking bold strides forward, he said softly to the kneeling crowd, “Rise, all of you.”

The people slowly got up, looking at Mu Can with unease and confusion.

“Who’s the leader here?” As soon as Mu Can drew everyone’s attention, he proceeded to ask.

“I am.” An elder stepped forward and said to Mu Can.

He was a cultivator of Martial Sect Level.

“Good, Martial Sect Level.

From now on, you’ll lead these people in their cultivation.

Divide these more than two hundred people into ten teams evenly, and we’ll have a competition every three months.

The last five teams will receive punishment while the first five will be rewarded.

Understood?” Mu Can said to the elder, the idea forming instantly in his mind.

Only competition could heighten these people’s enthusiasm and maximize their strength.

Mu Can also knew that Purple Cloud was right; not to mention Purple Cloud’s enemies in the Immortal World, even the enemy before him, Donghuang.

Behind Donghuang stood a nation; realizing this, Mu Can wished fervently that this group could immediately become an effective fighting force.

Even in their Soul Body state, the unique aspects of the Reincarnation Pearl opened up limitless possibilities for them.

Hearing Mu Can’s words, the elder’s eyes sparkled; they all knew their situation well and each had deep ties they couldn’t sever.

A young man about the same age as Mu Can took a couple of steps forward and knelt before Mu Can with a thud.

“My lord, can we still leave this place?

My sister Qiao is still waiting for me outside,” the young man said tearfully.

Having been dead for more than three years, their souls were tormented daily; now suddenly seeing hope again, the young man would accept even selling his soul to Mu Can.

“Rest assured, as long as you diligently cultivate, there will come a day when all of you can be free again.

You know your current state; Soul Bodies simply cannot survive outside.

Only when you are strong enough will you be able to walk proudly in the open,” Mu Can slowly comforted the weeping youth before him.

“Can we truly leave?” The people around started to murmur among themselves; the allure of the Human World was no small temptation.

“The outside world is a place of survival of the fittest.

If you don’t have the strength to protect yourself, I advise you to stay here for now.

As for the resources here, as long as you are willing to put in the effort, you will certainly obtain them,” Mu Can confidently said.

Purple Cloud looked at Mu Can with approval; from the expressions of these people, his few simple words had profoundly moved some of them.

And for the others, given the ample resources for cultivation, as long as they were within the Reincarnation Pearl, they would sooner or later be wholeheartedly devoted to Mu Can.
