The phrase from Supreme Treasure seemed somewhat contradictory at first glance.
The absence of a soul in a place implies that there is no soul at all, so how could one even discuss the possibility of perception?
However, Yi Tianchen couldn't help but shudder!
Indeed, this was the answer he had been desperately searching for. It could also be said that it was a crucial question he had overlooked while wandering in search— the very notion that a soul cannot exist in certain places had been his blind spot all along.
"Thank you!"
Yi Tianchen smiled mysteriously, then bid farewell to Liu Yuhan and the others, as well as Qianye and Supreme Treasure. After teleporting back to Southern Wilderness City, Yi Tianchen summoned his flying mount, the Skywing Beast, and advised Liu Yuhan, " Liu Yuhan, you should head back to the Base of Operations first. I need to take care of some matters right away!"
"I'll go with you!"
Sensing something, Liu Yuhan also summoned her mount and soared into the sky the next moment.
The two flying mounts took off one after another from the city return point, drawing envious glances from many players nearby. Meanwhile, Mo Ziwen and the others returned directly to Mist and Rain Commerce after watching the two figures gradually disappear into the dim sky.
"It seems you've received some important information," Liu Yuhan speculated on their way. Yi Tianchen did not hide anything as he replied, "That's right. I believe I now know what happened a thousand years ago."
"Are you talking about Imperial Princess Elena's soul?"
"Exactly!"
The sound of the wind rustled through the trees as Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan made their way westward after leaving Southern Wilderness City. Soon, they spotted the stone tower standing tall amidst a vast forest. It was here that Yi Tianchen had first arrived at level ten, holding the Hell Token gifted by the Appraiser, where he met his mentor, the Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss.
Indeed, this was the Magic Stone Tower where Azure Abyss resided!
As they landed, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan approached the base of the ancient and mysterious Magic Stone Tower. The tower remained unchanged over the years, its weathered stone walls bearing various marks left by time, alongside some strange magical runes.
Yi Tianchen recalled what his mentor had said about these magical runes…
The Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, had once mentioned that these were hidden magical seals he inscribed to conceal his Undead aura, preventing it from being detected by his enemies from the Light faction.
However, it seemed there might be more to it than met the eye!
“Master…”
Yi Tianchen's resonant voice echoed through the forest. From within the Magic Stone Tower, a tall figure emerged—after several months apart, the Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, clad in black armor and wielding a heavy sword, stepped out and looked down at Yi Tianchen. “It's rare for you to remember to come back and see me!”
“Haha, Master, you flatter me! I have always kept you in my thoughts!”
He laughed heartily at his own words, so exaggerated that even Liu Yuhan found it hard to bear. Suddenly, Yi Tianchen's tone shifted to seriousness as he said, “Master, I have come here with a request that I hope you can assist me with.”
“Hmph!”
The Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, was indeed an NPC of high intelligence; he quickly grasped the underlying meaning. “I knew it! You wouldn’t have come here if you didn’t need something.”
"Uh..."
Yi Tianchen was speechless. He hadn't expected this NPC to be so sharp. After a brief awkward smile, he heard Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss continue, "Speak up, what's the matter?"
"It's the same old issue, concerning the entrance to the Land of Souls!"
"Land of Souls?"
Upon hearing those four words, Liu Yuhan's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly understood what Yi Tianchen had meant about knowing where Imperial Princess Elena's soul was located. It was clear that this answer was already quite evident; the Land of Souls was one of the mysterious Three Great Forbidden Lands, a place where souls could not exist.
Isn't this precisely the place that Soul Mages cannot perceive?
Connecting this with the Five Elements Soul Sealing Array... It was said that the Five Elements Soul Sealing Array was designed to protect Princess Elena's soul, which further confirmed this point. It was precisely because souls could not exist in the Land of Souls that a formation like the Five Elements Soul Sealing Array was needed for protection!
"Why do you insist on going to the Land of Souls?"
Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss's expression seemed somewhat grave, his deep gaze revealing a hint of hesitation as he continued, "The Land of Souls is not a good place, and there is no life there..."
The implication was clear: if there's nothing there, then why go?
"Of course, it's for the soul of Imperial Princess Elena!" At this point, Yi Tianchen no longer held back any secrets and continued, "A thousand years ago, during the invasion by the Otherworldly Race, Imperial Princess Elena uncovered the truth and sought to announce it to the world in alliance with Guardian General Amucha at that time. However, their power was limited, and ultimately they could only meet with failure..."
"Yet they also left behind a foreshadowing for today's counterattack..."
Yi Tianchen smiled lightly, as if recalling a scene from long ago, and began to recount the story from a thousand years past: "Guardian General Amucha, at the last moment, along with the five city lords, managed to save the princess's soul from separation, preserving the last trace of royal bloodline. This was all in hopes of one day driving out the Otherworldly Race and restoring justice to the world."
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Of course it does!" Yi Tianchen's expression turned serious as he continued, "Why didn't the Otherworldly Race destroy the entire continent during their invasion? It was precisely because of the united resistance from various races living on this land. Among these races, it was the Undead Clan that was the most resolute in fighting back against the Otherworldly Race back then..."
"As a member of the Undead Clan..."
"Shut up!" A powerful aura suddenly erupted around Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss. Visible crimson light swirled around the blade in his hand, and even his previously deep gaze transformed into one filled with rage and hatred in an instant.
Clearly, Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss was furious!
However, this sudden turn of events took both Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan by surprise. What could have caused the usually calm and proud Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss to react like a startled tiger?
This unexpected scene left both of them momentarily bewildered.
Yet, deep down, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan understood that this occurrence was certainly not a coincidence. Combining various speculations and factors, a clear thought immediately sprang into their minds—
There must be an astonishing secret hidden within Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss!
