Chapter 112: Soul Search

“Is everyone here?”

A cold voice from a person that sounded as if he was examining a dead person.

Whether it was Ling Zhan or the other higher-ups, they all felt a chill run down their spines!

Only at this moment did they realize that there was a white-robed youth standing opposite the huge pit. He held a wine pot in his hand and had an extraordinary aura. He was sizing them up with interest.

“Who are you?”

Ling Zhan asked subconsciously.

Qin Jue :”..”

How many times had he heard this today?

Can you villains be more creative? You should at least change the question.

Seeing Qin Jue remain silent, Ling Zhan thought that he didn’t hear him, so he asked again, “Who are you? Why have you appeared in my Spirit Clan?!”

Ling Zhan’s tone was slightly strange, because he suddenly had a bold idea.

The other higher-ups of the Spirit Clan looked at each other and silently activated their spirit energy, preparing to attack at any moment.

“Sigh.”

Sighing, Qin Jue asked instead of answering, “What are you using that Soul Tower for?”

This was what puzzled Qin Jue the most, because he sensed the aura of another world from the Soul Tower. Could it be that the Spirit Clan wanted to open the door to the other world?

If he could open the door to the other world, could they choose Earth as their target?

Although he had already transmigrated to the Spirit Central World for 10 years, if he could go back and take a look, why would he refuse?

Of course, the premise was that he had to use another energy source to replace the Essence Souls.

“Were you the one who destroyed the Soul Tower?”

Ling Zhan started to think more boldly.

“Obviously?”

Qin Jue shrugged his shoulders.

“..”

Everyone present were famous figures in the Sacred Land of the Central Continent. Even if they weren’t familiar with the Eight Sacred Masters, they still knew who the powerful figures were. And Qin Jue was clearly not a Sacred Master.

Then how did Qin Jue destroy the Soul Tower and kill the Sixth Elder in such a short time?

Everyone found it unbelievable.

Because they could see that Qin Jue was not an old monster that had lived for more than ten thousand years, but a youth in his twenties or even teens.

Now, were they supposed to believe that such a young man was very likely a Great Sage expert.

Are you kidding me?

Unless this world had gone crazy!

“Which Sacred Master are you incarnating?”

After a moment of silence, Ling Zhan spoke respectfully.

In his opinion, Qin Jue was absolutely not a Great Sage expert.

After all, every single Great Sage expert would cause a phenomenon of the heavens and the earth when they were born, and it would shake the Spirit Central World. All experts above the Saint Stage would be able to sense it, and it was utterly impossible to conceal it.

In the past hundred years, there had been no signs of a Great Sage expert being born.

As for incarnations, an incarnation only had one-tenth of the original body’s strength. But depending on the cultivation technique, it was not impossible for an incarnation to reach two-tenths of the original body’s strength.

One should not underestimate this one-tenth or two-tenth of strength. It was no exaggeration to say that the incarnation of a Great Sage Stage expert far surpassed a Grand Saint Stage expert. This was also the reason why the Eight Great Sacred Lands were able to surpass the Twelve Sacred Clans.

In addition, incarnations could be molded at will. Since Qin Jue was so handsome, besides thinking that he was an incarnation, Ling Zhan couldn’t think of a second possibility.

Unfortunately, Ling Zhan couldn’t be more wrong.

“Who am I incarnating?”

Qin Jue pondered. How could he have forgotten about such an ability?

Perhaps he could also try to cultivate an incarnation. By then, even if he lay on the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, he would still be able to resolve many problems.

However.. the cultivation techniques used to cultivate the incarnation should only be available to the Eight Great Sacred Lands, right?

Seeing Qin Jue’s thoughtful expression, Ling Zhan was also somewhat at a loss. Could it be that Qin Jue wasn’t an incarnation?

Or perhaps.. Qin Jue wasn’t a Great Sage expert at all?

Could it be that he had used a special method to pass through the barrier and had launched a sneak attack on the Sixth Elder. He was able to kill him in one strike and then destroy the Soul Tower.

If that was the case, it seemed to make sense.

Even though it was still quite unbelievable, it was still acceptable.

In the blink of an eye, Ling Zhan had already imagined all the plots in his mind.

Since he wasn’t a Great Sage Incarnation, what was there to be afraid of?

With this thought in mind, Ling Zhan’s confidence soared. Boundless spirit energy suddenly erupted from his body, transforming into a 30,000-meter-tall figure that stood tall between heaven and earth. It was the Saint Body that only Saint Stage experts could condense!

However, Ling Zhan was not a Saint Stage expert. Instead, he was a genuine Grand Saint Stage expert!

“The First Elder is about to make a move!”

“Given the First Elder’s strength, as long as the other party isn’t a Great Sage, he should be able to deal with him!”

“What a terrifying spirit pressure. As expected of the First Elder.”

Many higher-ups of the Spirit Clan shouted excitedly.

It had been thousands of years since Ling Zhan had become a Grand Saint Stage expert, and he had become a true top existence ever since then. Apart from the eight Sacred Masters, there were only a handful of people in the entire Spirit Central World who could defeat him.

“Uh.. are we going to attack?”

Qin Jue looked up at Ling Zhan’s Saint Body.

Wasn’t this First Elder treating him quite respectfully just now?

Why did he suddenly turn hostile?

Speaking of which, this was the first time he had seen someone use such an attack.

The reason why Saint Stage experts could look down on the world was not only because of their spirit energy, but also because of their Saint Body.

In front of a Saint Body, any Legendary Stage expert was no different from an ant.

“Those who offend our Spirit Clan must die!”

Hu!

In the next moment, the huge fist of the Saint Body attacked, bringing with it the power of heaven and earth as it gathered towards Qin Jue.

However, Qin Jue didn’t seem to care about the meteor-like fist falling. He even casually took a sip of wine.

Just as the fist was 10 meters away from Qin Jue, it suddenly stopped, as if it had hit an invisible wall. A dull sound could be heard.

Bang!

A terrifying spirit energy storm swept out, forming energy ripples that spread out. However, no matter how hard Ling Zhan tried, his fist could not move an inch forward!

Qin Jue picked his ear and flicked his finger.

Slap!

Like a cannonball, Ling Zhan’s Saint Body was instantly sent flying and smashed into a distant mountain peak. In an instant, countless palaces and pavilions were destroyed, and some unlucky Spirit Clan experts were crushed to death without even understanding what was going on.

Rumble!

As the Saint Body continued its momentum, it smashed through dozens of mountains before finally coming to a stop. It left a shocking gully on the ground before exploding inch by inch, turning into specks of light that dissipated.

As for Ling Zhan, who was inside the Saint Body, he had long fallen unconscious in the ruins. His aura was dispirited, and countless bones in his body had been broken. He couldn’t even stand up.

Seeing this, all the higher-ups of the Spirit Clan fell silent, dumbfounded.

What was going on?

The First Elder was an existence only inferior to the Patriarch of their Spirit Clan. In the end, the opponent had only moved his finger and their First Elder was already seriously injured and unconscious. Could it be that Qin Jue was really a Great Sage expert?

“Am I dreaming?”

“Illusion! It must be an illusion!”

“Get the Patriarch immediately!”

“But.. what’s the point of getting the Patriarch to come?”

“..”

In an instant, all the higher-ups of the Spirit Clan fell into chaos. It wasn’t that they hadn’t thought that Ling Zhan would lose, but they had never imagined that he would lose so easily!

If even Ling Zhan lost so easily, what was the point of getting the Patriarch who was the same level as their First Elder?

“Since you guys won’t tell me, I’ll do it myself.”

Qin Jue grabbed with his hand, and Ling Zhan, who was lying in the ruins, immediately flew over and floated in front of him like mud.

Since this person was the First Elder, he should know a lot of things, right?

Without hesitation, Qin Jue used the soul searching technique on Ling Zhan.

“Ah!”

The unconscious Ling Zhan suddenly opened his eyes and screamed in pain, but he couldn’t move at all. He could only let Qin Jue search his soul and quickly fainted from the pain.

“I see.”

After a long while, Qin Jue suddenly understood what was going on.
