Chapter 1312 - Pioneering

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The next day, Han Fei was cultivating casually.

He didn’t immediately go to the Sea Quelling Painting to find Bai Suzhen and the others, nor did he enter Forge the Universe. He was just eating some spiritual fruits.

The old turtle said, “Come out. Someone brought you something.”

Swish ~

Han Fei swished to the door, straightened his face, and put on a proud posture, before he walked out with his head holding high.

At the door.

It was a great demon at the junior Dao Seeking realm who came. He said, “Master Dragon King, as ordered by Venerable Changshui Qin, I’ve sent you 12 level-three Soul Crystals and a bottle of ownerless souls.”

Han Fei hummed and said casually, “Sanqing, take it.”

The old turtle said in his heart, “You don’t have hands?”

Han Fei scoffed. “Phew, are you getting tough now? It seems that you haven’t put down your dignity as an emperor!”

The old turtle: “…”

After teasing the old turtle, Han Fei wanted to ask him if he could make an appointment with Changshui Qin so that he could ask for leave from this guy later.

However, before Han Fei asked, he heard the man say, “Master Dragon King, Venerable Changshui also said that since you made it to the fifth place on the Genius List with your strength, there should still be room for improvement. Therefore, he asked you to prepare for something big to happen in half a month. He asked you to take a good rest, consolidate your strength, and improve your cultivation.”

“Huh?”

Han Fei was stunned for a moment. What? I’m leaving. And you’re telling me that something important is going to happen?

Han Fei held his head high and said, “Do you know what it is? I’ve had a lot of epiphanies recently, so I may need to cultivate in seclusion or have other exercises. So, may I ask you what it is first?”

The man said, “I don’t know what it is exactly, but it seems that the recent anomalies in the Wall of Death may be related to this.”

The old turtle said, “Oh! Was the Wall of Death broken? But it seemed that only half of the Demon Subduing Tower was blasted in.”

Han Fei was also a little stunned. F*ck, my lotus body is still there! It doesn’t matter if the Wall of Death is broken, but the Demon Subduing Tower can’t! That is my avatar that the Water Immortal created for me with great difficulty! And I even used half of my soul power!

Han Fei nodded slightly. “I see.”

After sending the guests back, Han Fei entered the residence again.

Because he controlled the entire residence, he immediately found that Yu Cailing and Lan Xue’er were about to go out. They seemed to know that he came back, so they quickly hid back.

Han Fei was speechless. Am I a monster? Why are you so scared? How did you get into the White Shell Royal City?

However, Han Fei didn’t seem to notice it and simply took the old turtle back to his room.

After confirming that Han Fei had returned to his room, Yu Cailing and Lan Xue’er held hands and secretly walked to the door.

Watching this scene, Han Fei couldn’t help but touch his nose. After thinking for a long time, he said lightly, “Old Yuan, do you think there is any way to secretly control these two people?”

The old turtle couldn’t help but exclaim, “Haven’t you always despised my demonic cultivation technique? Why are you asking me this now?”

Han Fei rolled his eyes and said, “When did I say that I’m not interested in demonic cultivation techniques? Besides, is this a demonic cultivation technique? Is it demonic to control a person?”

The old turtle grinned. “As far as I’m concerned, this naturally doesn’t count. This is just a very common cultivation technique. As long as you are strong enough, anyone can do this. Just like your soul control technique, strictly speaking, it’s even more demonic than my demonic cultivation technique. But you’re still using it.”

Han Fei thought to himself, When did my Divine Manipulation Technique become a demonic technique? That’s bullshit.

Han Fei said impatiently, “Then do you have any?”

The old turtle said, “Yes. However, no matter how good a control method is, the key is to control the human heart. For example, the way you control the Fish Dragon King is very good. Although it works slowly, it’s much more brilliant than direct control. Especially when you are strong enough, you will find that the way to directly control the soul can only restrict them but not suppress their true thoughts. The slightest mistake may result in a backlash.”

Han Fei curled his lips. “That’s good. Tell me about it. I’ll use it temporarily. You’re already an emperor, but they haven’t transcended the tribulation yet. It’s definitely useful.”

The old turtle nodded. “That’s true. If we just control them by force, it’ll be easy to deal with them. All you need to do is to take their essence blood and a wisp of soul to seal them. Then, you can send a wisp of soul into their bodies. By doing that, you can kill them with a thought.”

Han Fei was stunned for a moment. This familiar road seemed to be the one he used to threaten Master Hexagon.

Han Fei asked in confusion, “Is it that simple?”

The old turtle said, “How difficult do you think it is? If you want to use it randomly, that’s the simplest way to use it. Of course, if you don’t use it randomly, there are still many other methods. For example, the Great Dao Enchantment Technique, the Soul Eater Technique, the charm technique, and the Great Dao Soul Suppressing Technique, these can all control others. However, there is also a possibility that they will fail or be cracked.”

Han Fei thought of something. “Then is there a possibility that the method of me directly taking their essence blood and transmitting a wisp of soul into them will fail?”

The old turtle nodded. “Yes! For example, if a king takes action and directly seals the connection between you and them, then you won’t be able to kill them remotely.”

Han Fei asked, “What about Venerables? Can they seal the connection?”

The old turtle thought for a moment. “Some Half-Venerables can do that. However, it’s usually very difficult for Venerables to do that. You have to know that the great means in this world are common to kings. However, there are extremely high restrictions on those below the king level. This is a difference in life levels that you don’t understand yet.”

Han Fei curled his lips. “Okay, give it to me! I need to restore my soul power.”

The resources that Changshui Qin sent over, the so-called ownerless soul rewards, turned out to be only about a third of the will in Bai Suzhen’s body.

After Han Fei swallowed all the ownerless souls, he said in contempt, “This is too little, not enough!”

The old turtle had been leaning against the door frame, cultivating in secret. After all, although this residence was safe, the king could still peep in. Although the king was recuperating, he wouldn’t necessarily give up secretly observing the White Shell Royal City.

Therefore, both Han Fei and the old turtle spoke in their hearts. On the surface, they were like anormal pair of master and servant.

Hearing Han Fei’s complaint, the old turtle said, “It’s not that he didn’t give us enough. Think about it. What would it be like if an ordinary Dao Seeking realm obtains so many ownerless souls?”

The corner of Han Fei’s mouth twitched slightly. Of course, he would be overjoyed. To be able to increase the soul power by more than 400 points, it was a great improvement for an ordinary person.

With this in mind, Han Fei just shrugged casually. Better than nothing! After all, he wasn’t an ordinary Dao Seeking sea demon.

In addition to these ownerless souls, there were also 12 level-three Soul Crystals. Han Fei had used level-two Soul Crystals before. However, soul Crystals had some effects in the early stages but were no longer useful in the late stages.

At this moment, the level-three Soul Crystals didn’t surprise Han Fei at all. After all, this was the White Shell Royal City, the holy land in the hearts of sea demons. There should be a peerless treasure house here.

Just in these trial fields alone, many strong masters died every year. Therefore, the White Bei Royal City should not lack things like Soul Crystals. At least, there should be no shortage of level-three ones.

As he expected, the effect of the 12 Soul Crystals was only about the same as the ownerless soul. The two added up only increased the soul power by less than a thousand points, not even as powerful as the wisp of consciousness in Bai Suzhen’s mind.

Of course, Han Fei didn’t mind at all. No matter how little mosquito meat there was, it was still meat.

These rewards didn’t seem to be much, but if they were increased by ten times, he would probably be able to slowly recover the soul power he had lost in a few days.

At this moment, Han Fei looked at his 1,6684 points of soul power and thought to himself, I still have a long way to go! In my current situation, I probably need two or three Venerable-level soul power to barely replenish my soul power.

However, it was too far away for Han Fei to hunt Venerables now.

Seven days passed.

Han Fei had well consolidated his soul power. Although the ownerless souls were eaten quickly, it would take him some time to digest them.

On this day, someone came to deliver the message of Changshui Qin that the location was in the trial ground.

When Han Fei arrived, he found that the top ten of the Genius List, including Zhang Xiaotian, were all present. There were also some people outside the top ten. There were nearly 20 people in total.

Changshui Qin said, “Alright, everyone is already here. Now, let me tell you about your new assessment next month.”

Han Fei was surprised. A new test? With so many Heavenly Talents coming at the same time, was it very difficult?

Changshui Qin said, “A few days ago, in the forbidden areas of the White Shell Royal City, something happened to the Demon Subduing Tower. Due to certain special reasons, a seal in the Wall of Death was exposed. An island appeared near the Wall of Death. After I and many Venerables checked and explored it, most of the crises have been eliminated. However, there are still many opportunities for you to explore.”

“Hiss!”

Hearing that, everyone perked up. An island from the Wall of Death? This sounded magical. They knew what an island was but had never seen it before.

However, the key was not the island.

The key was that it came out of the Wall of Death!

This made people yearn for it! How many people had peeped at the Wall of Death since ancient times? No one could really get any benefits from it.

Now, they never expected that such an opportunity would fall on them.

Even Han Fei was rather surprised. A place in the Wall of Death had been opened?

Changshui Qin said, “Don’t celebrate too early. The people from the Water-Wood World and the Blood Sea Divine Wood City are going with you. This is a three-party exploration too.”

As he spoke, Changshui Qin looked at Han Fei as if warning him. “The Fish Dragon King may know that last time when we were in the Thousand Mountain Ancient Realm, the White Shell Royal City didn’t gain anything. Or, it was you who got the opportunity, but most people died there. But let me make it clear, this time, everyone must work together.. The opportunity is in your hands! I and the other Venerables will watch the battle in person. My request is that you must not lose…”
