Heaven-Burning Sect.

"Sect Leader! Something terrible has happened! Something terrible!" An Elder rushed into the grand hall in utter panic, holding a shattered Soul Jade in his hands.

The Heaven-Burning Sect Leader slightly furrowed his old brows and asked, "Elder Huo, what happened?"

"The Third Elder's Soul Jade has shattered!" Elder Huo replied in panic, his face full of anxiety.

"What? The Third Elder's Soul Jade shattered?" The Heaven-Burning Sect Leader and the other Elders exclaimed in unison.

The shattering of the Soul Jade signified that Tang Xuan had been killed.

In a panic, Elder Huo said, "This is the Third Elder's Soul Jade, it just shattered. It must be that something happened to the Third Elder in Clouds Beyond Heaven."

The Second Elder frowned and speculated, "Could it be that something went wrong when breaking the seal?"

The Heaven-Burning Sect Leader hurriedly said, "Elder, take people to Clouds Beyond Heaven immediately; even if the Primordial Spirit is shattered, there should be a way for Immortals to save it!"

"I will head to Clouds Beyond Heaven right away," the Elder said, promptly flashing away to Clouds Beyond Heaven.

Meanwhile.

Divine Moon Sect.

In the grand hall, the Sect Leader of Divine Moon Sect and the Elders, along with the top experts, all wore expressions of shock and disbelief.

"Elder Ao Yuan was at the Early Stage of Half-Immortal; who could kill him? Who would dare?" The Divine Moon Sect Leader said in shock, finding it impossible to believe.

One Elder, in disbelief, said, "Isn't there an Immortal guarding Clouds Beyond Heaven? How could Elder Ao Yuan be killed? Who exactly did it?"

The Divine Moon Sect Leader said angrily, "Send someone to Clouds Beyond Heaven to investigate immediately!"

...

Deep in Clouds Beyond Heaven.

The stone gate of the cave opened.

A powerful Ancient Aura rushed forth.

A strong feeling of being summoned appeared in Gu Chenfeng's mind simultaneously.

Following the feeling of the summons, Gu Chenfeng's gaze quickly locked onto a Storage Ring.

"Storage Ring!" Gu Chenfeng was delighted and strode into the cave.

The cave wasn't large, just a natural cavern, empty of anything.

Only in the center of the cave was a Storage Ring suspended in mid-air.

Gu Chenfeng reached out, and the Storage Ring flew over.

Gazing at the black Storage Ring, Gu Chenfeng murmured, "An Immortal Artifact Storage Ring; is my Soul Power inside this ring? I wonder if there are other treasures."

Saying this.

Gu Chenfeng couldn't wait and infused Ice Attribute Spiritual Power into the Storage Ring.

At the moment Ice Attribute was infused into the Storage Ring, a memory suddenly surged into Gu Chenfeng's mind.

"This is... memory!" Gu Chenfeng was shocked.

In Gu Chenfeng's mind, scenes of memory emerged one after another, like a movie playing.

These were the memory scenes from Gu Chenfeng's eighth life entering Clouds Beyond Heaven.

Gu Chenfeng mused silently, "I've indeed been to Clouds Beyond Heaven. I even cultivated in this cave back then; no wonder I feel so unfamiliar with Clouds Beyond Heaven; it turns out my memory was sealed."

At the same time.

An immense and vigorous Soul Power surged frantically into Gu Chenfeng's body.

"It's indeed my Soul Power!" Gu Chenfeng exclaimed with joy, "My Soul Power has returned!"

Exactly!

It was indeed Gu Chenfeng's Soul Power!

A few minutes later.

Gu Chenfeng successfully fused the memory, and all the Soul Power entered his body.

During his eighth life, Gu Chenfeng was the Alchemy Master Ancestor in the Cultivation Realm, so it is unsurprising how terrifying the Soul Power was.

However.

Gu Chenfeng found it strange that his Soul Power was in Clouds Beyond Heaven.

In his memories, although Gu Chenfeng had been to Clouds Beyond Heaven, he hadn't sealed his Soul Power in a Storage Ring.

"Could it be related to the Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation?" Gu Chenfeng speculated with a frown, "Or is it a test for achieving sainthood through the Nine Revolutions? If I can't ultimately find my Soul Power, will I be unable to become a saint in the end?"

Gu Chenfeng shook his head, unable to make sense of it.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chenfeng attempted to mobilize his Soul Power, and instantly a wisp of pale blue energy appeared on his palm, emanating a faint aura of Soul Power.

The Soul Power that just surged into Gu Chenfeng's body was terrifying, far beyond Demon Subduing power.

Yet the Soul Power Gu Chenfeng now mobilized was very weak.

"What's going on?" Gu Chenfeng frowned and wondered, "Could it be that the Soul Power hasn't adapted to this body yet?"

While puzzled.

Gu Chenfeng immediately sat down cross-legged and circulated the Alchemy Technique to cultivate Soul Power.

A half-hour later.

Gu Chenfeng stopped cultivating, then mobilized his Soul Power.

A powerful Soul Power appeared on his palm, several times stronger than it was half an hour ago.

"As expected," Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly, "Cultivating for half an hour made it several times stronger, comparable to the Soul Power of a Fifth Grade Alchemist. It seems it won't take much time for my Soul Power to recover to its peak."

After all, this is not Gu Chenfeng's eighth life body.

Given how terrifying the Soul Power was, it's naturally difficult to adapt for the time being.

"Next, I should refine the Ice Flame." Gu Chenfeng muttered to himself. Even though he had regained his Soul Power, without True Fire, he couldn't practice Alchemy or Artifact Refining.

Gu Chenfeng's True Fire is precisely the Ice Flame refined from the Ice Attribute.

Gu Chenfeng could now control the Soul Power of a Fifth Grade Alchemist level, making refining the Ice Flame a top priority.

"Refining the Ice Flame is a bit challenging; it may take several days," Gu Chenfeng muttered, then closed his eyes and began refining the Ice Flame.

However.

Just as Gu Chenfeng closed his eyes, he suddenly sensed a terrifying aura swiftly darting towards the mountain range.

"Middle Stage of Half-Immortal!" Gu Chenfeng frowned and said, "Are they coming so soon? It seems Tang Xuan and the others' Primordial Spirits haven't completely dissipated yet."

After speaking, Gu Chenfeng concealed his aura, his figure disappearing silently.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Five figures appeared in a flash in the sky over the mountains.

The leading elder said in a deep voice, "Spread out and search!"

The leader was none other than the Heaven-Burning Sect's Grand Elder, Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was a Middle Stage of Half-Immortal powerhouse and also an Eighth-Grade Alchemist, extremely terrifying in strength.

"So it's Lin Yuan," Gu Chenfeng mused silently, "An Eighth-Grade Alchemist on the verge of breaking through to the Ninth Grade; no wonder the Soul Power is so immense and strong."

In the sky over the mountains.

A powerful Soul Power erupted, and Lin Yuan carefully sensed various places in the mountains, quickly detecting a faint soul aura.

"Third Elder!" Lin Yuan swiftly dove into the complex mountain range below.

Following the faint soul aura, Lin Yuan soon discovered Tang Xuan's corpse.

Tang Xuan was already without breath.

But Tang Xuan's shattered Primordial Spirit had not completely dissipated, still faintly alive.

"Third Elder!" Lin Yuan poured Soul Power into Tang Xuan's body, striving to stabilize the shattered Primordial Spirit while anxiously thinking, "Hold on! The Immortal will surely have a way to save you!"

"Grand Elder! Divine Moon Sect's Elder Ao Yuan has also been killed! Primordial Spirit shattered!" someone suddenly shouted.

"What? Elder Ao Yuan has been killed as well?" Lin Yuan was shocked and then furious, "Intolerable! Who on earth did this?"

Another voice shouted loudly, "Grand Elder! Liu Busan and the others are here! Along with the experts from Divine Moon Sect! They've all been killed!"
