Lin Yun never would have thought that his fourth Primordial Chaos Soul was the legendary Kunpeng. He had already awakened the Aurora Dragon, Qiongqi, and Flying Serpent. Logically speaking, the Primordial Chaos Souls were terrifying existences that went beyond anyone’s imagination.

It would be impressive if a genius could awaken a Primordial Chaos Soul. However, Lin Yun was sequentially awakening them, which made him feel uneasy.

It seemed like the Primordial Chaos Souls were subordinates of the ‘broken sword’. Lin Yun had a strong feeling that the Primordial Chaos Souls weren’t his genuine martial soul. He was pretty certain that his martial soul was the ‘broken sword’ from the mysterious space.

With all of the flashing lights, Lin Yun managed to see that the ‘broken sword’ had been pulled out a fourth of the way. The entire sword was black and had mysterious runes engraved on it. It felt like the runes could destroy the entire world.

The immense pressure coming from the sword gave Lin Yun the impression that he would be devoured if he kept looking. It made him want to bow before the sword.

Lin Yun was finally able to come up with a theory about his martial soul. It seemed like the eight Primordial Chaos Souls were the souls of his martial soul. Meaning, someone had once killed all of those mythical beasts and used their blood essence to refine the ‘broken sword’ that was hidden.

“If this sword is my martial soul, that would explain why I have such shocking talent for the sword path.” Lin Yun held onto his chin with bright eyes. Heavenly Soul Realm experts could be found everywhere in the Heavenly Path, but Lin Yun slayed all of them without even using his martial soul.

The martial soul corresponded with the fate soul among the three immortal souls and seven mortal souls. A person also had the heaven and earth souls, but those weren’t part of the body. Only the fate soul was in the body. So, if the martial soul shattered, a person would lose one soul and become a zombie.

So no one would bring out their martial soul unless they were in a desperate strait. After reaching the empyrean realm, there was apparently another use for the martial souls as they could exist in another form.

It took a while, but Lin Yun finally sorted out his thoughts. The more he thought about it, the more exciting the Kunlun Realm seemed to be. After all, even empyreans weren’t considered powerhouses in the Kunlun Realm. So he had to grasp every opportunity that crossed his path. After all, he would be starting from the bottom as soon as he reached the Kunlun Realm.

He desperately needed a large harvest from the Azure Dragon Forbidden Realm or a few powerful inheritances. If he couldn’t grow stronger in the Azure Dragon Forbidden Realm, he wouldn’t be able to help Yue Weiwei. He couldn’t stand the thought of watching her get bullied.

Of course, Lin Yun had already grown a lot stronger since he made a breakthrough to the sky sword intent. So if he ran into the mysterious lady again, he was confident he wouldn’t have to rely on Lil’ Red or the Indigoflame Thunderwhip. However, he still wouldn’t be able to win.

After all, she was in the fourth soul Heavenly Soul Realm and Lin Yun hadn’t seen her full strength. In order to keep up, he needed to keep tempering his strength. He planned to cultivate the Divine Glorysun Fist and refine a fire-attributed monarch beast core with his Divine Sun Breaking Seal.

With the sky sword intent, he should have a chance to defeat a monarch demonic beast in the third soul Heavenly Soul Realm. However, beasts of that level had powerful bloodlines and were much stronger than cultivators in the third soul.

Then there was the other issue of finding a monarch demonic beast. Knowing this, Lin Yun headed deeper into the forbidden region. The forbidden region was the core of the Azure Dragon Region and the dangers inside far exceeded that of the seven astral lands.

Whenever night came, the entire region would become a paradise for demonic beasts. So he wouldn’t be able to travel by himself if he didn’t have sufficient strength. With Lil’ Red around, Lin Yun didn’t even have to worry about anything. Lil’ Red would deal with most troubles on Lin Yun’s behalf.

However, when they ran into troublesome demonic beasts, Lin Yun would slay them with his sword. So Lin Yun and Lil’ Red left a trail of corpses as they went deeper into the region. As for the beast cores, they naturally went to Lil’ Red.

Lil’ Red had also undergone a transformation from this. After reaching the first soul Heavenly Soul Realm, it continued to use the cultivation technique that Yue Weiwei gave it. So it became a lot stronger. In terms of strength, even third soul Heavenly Soul Realm geniuses might not be able to capture it.

This was without the Void Blade or Blood Viper Whip, not to mention the Indigoflame Thunderwhip. If Lil’ Red had the Indigoflame Thunderwhip, even Lin Yun would be fearful. After all, Lil’ Red’s vitality was a little too strong for Lin Yun to deal with.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, but Lin Yun still hadn’t seen any cities. He was starting to feel a little helpless because he needed information from other cultivators on the location of the monarch demonic beasts. Then again, it would bring him a little trouble because he was a little famous in the Azure Dragon Region.

After all, he still had an ongoing feud with the Bloodbone Realm. They would hunt him down once they learned of his location. Plus, many people were probably itching for the Glorysun Spirit and dao artifacts that he carried. If he showed up, he was bound to create a commotion.

Lin Yun really didn’t want to reveal his location before the Azure Dragon Forbidden Realm appeared. The Azure Dragon Forbidden Realm was going to appear, so all of the geniuses from the Azure Dragon Region and other regions were bound to show up. So it wouldn’t hurt if he kept a low profile for the time being.

“Let’s try that way. It looks like the nearest city is two days away in that direction,” said Lin Yun after looking at a map.

Two days later, Lin Yun stood on a hill as he viewed the majestic outline of a city in the distance. When Lin Yun saw the city, he could tell that it was sizable. It was at least ten times bigger than Flamecloud City, but that one was barely considered a city.

With the Azure Dragon Forbidden Realm imminent, many cultivators were frantically searching the core regions. There were many realms gathered in the city, so it wouldn’t be tough for Lin Yun to find information about monarch demonic beasts.

The only issue was entering the city. Even if he wore a mask, his sword box would attract a lot of attention. While he was in deep thought, two figures walked past him at the bottom of the hill. They were on one of the main paths for the city.

Lin Yun was stunned when he saw the individuals, “What a coincidence.”

It was Xian Yunzhen and Chen Qiong, the people he blackmailed in Flamefeather City. At first, many people laughed at them. However, all of that changed when Feng Wuji and Kong Xuan were killed.

Everyone quickly forgot about Xian Yunzhen and Chen Qiong as they were too preoccupied with Lin Yun’s strength. After all, Lin Yun killed Kong Xuan, who was ranked 46 on the Azure Dragon Ranking. 

XIan Yunzhen and Chen Qiong were barely able to keep up with Lin Yun in Flamefeather City. Now, they weren’t even qualified to look at his back. They would lament every time they thought about it because they felt that the Hidden Treasure Pavilion helped Lin Yun grow.

“It’s all because of that cat!” Chen Qiong gritted his teeth. “It didn’t leave a single thing behind for us. If it just left one thing, we wouldn’t be in this state.”

Thinking about the past, Xian Yunzhen had pity written on his face, “If only we were more decisive back then, the opportunities in the Hidden Treasure Pavilion would all be ours. We would be the famous ones, not Lin Yun.”

Of course, the Millennium Flame and divine astral pellets were the main reason why Lin Yun’s strength grew so swiftly. But that didn’t really matter. Even if they managed to take something from the Hidden Treasure Pavilion, Lin Yun still would have defeated them after they exited the pavilion. At that time, their harvest would still go to Lin Yun. So the only thing they could really feel sad about was not having enough strength.

“It has been a long time.” A familiar voice sounded out just while Chen Qiong and Xian Yunzhen chatted. This stunned Xian Yunzhen and Chen Qiong. When they raised their heads, they saw Lin Yun standing on a tree.

“Lin Yun!” Chen Qiong and Xian Yunzhen were both startled when they saw Lin Yun. Clearly, they never expected to run into Lin Yun.

“Come with me. This isn’t the right place to talk.” Lin Yun didn’t bother exchanging pleasantries and headed deeper into the forest. Chen Qiong and Xian Yunzhen’s faces started changing as they hesitated.

“What’s that fellow trying to do?” ased Chen Qiong.

“Let’s go and take a look. If he wanted to kill us, we would’ve already died,” said Xian Yunzhen. The two of them shivered whenever they thought about Lin Yun’s strength. So they only hesitated briefly before following behind Lin Yun.

After Xian Yunzhen and Chen Qiong caught up, Lin Yun told them about his request to find information on monarch demonic beasts.

“You’re not stupid after all. Many people will have designs for you with the Azure Dragon Forbidden Realm emerging,” said Xian Yunzhen.

“Oh, I also want information about the Azure Dragon Forbidden Realm and the Azure Dragon Ranking.” Lin Yun held onto his chin. He didn’t realize he was lacking a lot of information.

Chen Qiong’s eyes flickered as he probed, “What are the benefits to helping you?”

It took all of his courage to say this because Lin Yun could kill him for asking such a question. Lin Yun became silent and smiled, which made Chen QIong nervous. Lin Yun knew that this matter was more or less done since they asked him for payment. Furthermore, he knew that these two wouldn’t dare to reveal his whereabouts based on their expressions.

“Ten divine astral pellets,” said Lin Yun. Basically, Lin Yun was admitting that the Hidden Treasure Pavilion was full of divine astral pellets.

Joy filled Cheng Qiong and Xian Yunzhen’s faces. After all, they were going to get ten divine astral pellets for basic information. “Deal!”
