"Please take care of this, Zi Yan," Qian Renhan said with a faint smile, then conveyed to her everything he knew about the Ancient Transform

"Please take care of this, Zi Yan," Qian Renhan said with a faint smile, then conveyed to her everything he knew about the Ancient Transformation Array and the arrangements that would follow.

"I understand. You should head into seclusion now. Near East Dragon Island, there's a Void Thunder Pool. The natural energy there is quite violent—you'll probably like it." Zi Yan took the storage ring handed to her by Qian Renhan. As she infused her spiritual power into it, she saw a massive pile of fragrant medicinal pills, enough to form a mountain. Saliva unconsciously trickled from her mouth, but she quickly wiped it away. What lay ahead left no room for carelessness—any slip could be fatal.

After giving his instructions, Qian Renhan cast one last glance at the Ancient Taixu Dragon clan before soaring off toward the Void Thunder Pool Zi Yan had mentioned.

The so-called "Void Thunder Pool" was a place where thunder gathered. It was said that the space there was particularly unusual, emanating a natural suction force that caused chaotic energy to converge. Over time, this energy gave birth to countless bolts of thunder.

Crossing ten thousand miles of void, Qian Renhan arrived in a world forged of silver light. The silvery glow expanded and flickered rapidly, accompanied by booming thunder echoing in his ears.

What appeared before Qian Renhan was a "lake" nearly a thousand meters wide—but instead of water, this lake was entirely filled with dazzling silver lightning.

It was a true thunder pool formed from pure thunderbolts!

Standing before the thunder pool, deafening thunder continued to roar out, shaking one's very soul. Anyone standing here would feel especially small and insignificant.

"Another excellent place for refining the blood essence of the Demon Saint." Qian Renhan took out a jade bottle. Inside was half a drop of essence blood—the last of the Demon Saint's blood. He originally had one and a half drops, but gave one full drop to Void Devouring Flame.

The moment Qian Renhan stepped into the thunder pool, countless lightning bolts surged out like silver serpents, striking him with explosive speed. However, the moment they touched the black battle aura surrounding his body, they let out muffled popping sounds and immediately vanished. Though the thunder was powerful, it was still weaker than his battle aura.

Qian Renhan activated his Soul Core to suppress the automatic operation of the Medicine Emperor Technique. He sat cross-legged in the inner region of the thunder pool—close, but not too close, to the core. Thunder and Heavenly Flame were his natural nemeses. The thunder energy accumulated in the pool's center over centuries was even more violent than Heavenly Flames. Though he could endure it, this time he was here to enter seclusion and let his physical body absorb the Demon Saint's blood essence.

As thunderbolts struck his body following his consumption of the final half-drop of blood essence, his black robe was instantly torn apart. A bolt of lightning left a vivid, bloody mark across his skin. The moment the wound appeared, a cloud of golden mist burst forth from it, expanding outward with Qian Renhan at the center and repelling the thunder-lake water for dozens of meters around.

But the wound quickly healed under the powerful influence of his vital blood, and the golden mist was inhaled back into his body. The repelled thunder surged in again, striking him indiscriminately. The lake once again converged upon him, repeating the cycle.

Only Half-Emperor blood could make the thunder and thunder pool recoil like this. The Nine Serenities Underworld Spring suppressed the Demon Saint's raging energy with extreme cold, but here in the thunder pool, it was lightning that tore his body apart—forcing the surplus energy of the Demon Saint's blood essence to escape. This prevented his body from overloading and exploding. With the Medicine Emperor Technique restrained, all the blood essence's energy could be infused into his body, with none diverted into his cultivation base.

While Qian Renhan remained in seclusion for the next four months, Zi Yan delivered the three Dragon King corpses. The bodies had withered slightly—evidence that their royal-grade blood essence had been extracted.

Four months later, in the Soul Realm—like the Medicine Clan—the Soul Clan was incomparably prosperous. Opulent palaces and pavilions dotted the land, and powerful cultivators filled the realm. Here, Dou Zuns were as common as dirt, and Dou Zongs were considered weaklings.

However, compared to other ancient clans, the Soul Realm carried a darker hue. At its center lay a vast blood pool nearly a hundred thousand feet wide. The blood within was viscous and thick, filled with a dense mass of corpses and white bones—the remains of every member of the Stone and Spirit Clans.

The Soul Heavenly Emperor still wore his scholarly robes, calmly standing atop the clouds as he gazed at the immense blood pool below. This was the vital resource needed for him to reach the Dou Di realm—the fuel for the Spirit-Devouring Life-Banishing Array. If these corpses weren't enough, he would add more. And if that still wasn't sufficient, he would use members of the Soul Clan itself. For the sake of becoming Emperor, such sacrifices were necessary.

"The matter with the Stone Clan has already been exposed. It's been half a year since that major upheaval in the Beast Domain. Has Void Devouring Flame still not returned?" The Soul Heavenly Emperor folded his hands behind his back. Were it not for the concern that his absence might leave the Soul Clan vulnerable to Gu Yuan—who could discover the blood pool and ruin his millennium-long plan—he would have already left to find Void Devouring Flame.

At such a critical juncture, unless the goal was the annihilation of another ancient race, either he or Void Devouring Flame—both possessing nine-star Dou Sheng-level power—had to remain in the Soul Realm.

Suddenly, a faint ripple of energy spread through the Soul Realm's border. A cluster of black flame pierced through and entered the territory.

"Finally, you're back... but this aura—is he injured?" The Soul Heavenly Emperor frowned slightly and in a flash, appeared in front of Void Devouring Flame.

Void Devouring Flame took human form and urgently said, "Soul Heavenly Emperor, I've found the location of the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion!"

"What? Where is it?!"

That sentence alone silenced the Soul Heavenly Emperor's prepared questions. The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was crucial, but so was the cave mansion of the Ancient Emperor.

Void Devouring Flame explained, "Half a year ago, I discovered the brat's hiding place and went to hunt him down. Though he's grown rapidly, he still wasn't my match. However, he's extremely skilled with spatial techniques. He tore open space and led me to a cave—that was the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion. It lies beneath the magma of the Jia Nan Academy, in the Black-Corner Region of the Northwest Continent."

"Oh? Then who injured you?" The Soul Heavenly Emperor didn't know where the Black-Corner Region or Jia Nan Academy were, but Void Devouring Flame did—and he had plenty of subordinates to investigate.

"Before I reached the cave, I encountered a Taixu Ancient Dragon—its strength rivaled even yours, a peak nine-star Dou Sheng. I suspect that brat learned his spatial techniques from that dragon. It was that dragon who injured me!" Void Devouring Flame clenched his teeth, his face full of rage.

The Soul Heavenly Emperor gazed deeply at Void Devouring Flame and said, "Take me to the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion."

"You don't believe me?" Void Devouring Flame frowned and questioned him.

In response, the Soul Heavenly Emperor said nothing. He simply looked at him calmly, eyes steady and unreadable.

"...Then follow me."

Void Devouring Flame tore open the void, and the two of them departed together for the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion.
