Chapter 482: The Soul Hall and the Strange Cracked Jade!

"Now you might as well guess, in this 'half-dead' state, will the 'Soul Jade' you left in the sect still break?"

"Can the 'real enlightenment master' you are so looking forward to come here, find out the real culprit, and avenge you?"

Ding Chen's calm question sounded like a devil showing his sharp fangs and claws to Feng Qinggou.

As a lamb in front of the devil, Feng Qinggou only felt endless fear and helplessness...

After calming himself down, he took a deep breath and said with determination: "I will never do as you wish!"

After saying this, he tried his best to stimulate and drain out the last bit of spiritual power in his sea of consciousness, intending to destroy his own consciousness.

At this moment——

"Crash..."

Before the vortex of Feng Qinggu's self-destructive consciousness took shape, a "Soul-killing Wave" controlled by Ding Chen suddenly appeared.

And it completely destroyed the energy structure of the "self-destructive vortex" from top to bottom.

"Boom!"

Following a roar in his soul sea of consciousness, Feng Qinggu discovered with great horror—

His soul at this moment was like a stray dog tied tightly with an iron chain, unable to move.

"no no!!"

Feng Qinggou tried to struggle but it was useless and he could only let out hysterical cries.

At the same time, the Longyan Sect is 80,000 miles away from the deep forest canyon in a straight line.

A magnificent palace.

This place is called the [Soul Hall].

In the main hall, there are rows of cabinets made of golden nanmu wood, which look like bookcases.

However, these "bookcases" are not filled with books.

In those individually separated, square partitions, there are pieces of blue-green, slightly shiny [Soul-Retaining Jade].

These [Soul Jades] store a wisp of the soul of the cultivators within the sect.

Once a cultivator of the Longyan Sect dies, the soul stored in the jade will dissipate.

At that time, the entire jade plate will shatter immediately!

The cultivator in charge of monitoring the Soul Hall will rush over as soon as he hears the news and activate the "Soul-Chasing Formation".

Based on the direction indicated by the remnant soul before it completely dissipated, the place of death of the cultivator was locked.

Then he reported to the sect's top leaders to decide on the reconnaissance team that would be dispatched, as well as the number and strength of the reconnaissance team.

Afterwards, the Longyan Sect will send the corresponding cultivators to the scene of the incident.

They will use some special talismans and formations to restore the scene to the greatest extent possible.

Then comes the final step: identify the murderer and make a judgment!

If the other party is a high-quality sect with a strong background and powerful strength, then the victim will bring evidence, adopt a fair attitude, and go to the sect to seek an explanation.

But if the murderer is relatively weak in both background and strength.

Then, the Dragon Flame Sect would demonstrate its dignity as a "superior sect" that could not be challenged.

Catch the murderer and execute him immediately!

It is precisely because of this ability and determination to hunt down the murderer through the [Soul-Suspending Jade] that the entire cultivation world will be extremely restrained when facing cultivators who have a powerful sect as their backer.

However, not all people in the sect can enjoy this treatment.

For example, almost no one cares about the life or death of the "menial disciples" at the bottom of each sect.

In comparison, the situation of "outer disciples" is better.

However, basically no sect would be willing to use the relatively precious resources used to track down the murderer through the [Soul-Sending Jade] on outer disciples.

Therefore, those who are qualified to place the [Soul-Receiving Jade] in the Soul-Receiving Hall must be at least an "inner disciple".

In fact, after the [Soul-Retaining Jade] was broken, the ones who could really attract the sect's attention were still those at the level of "core disciples" or "outer sect elders" and above.

As for any sect, once they find that the [Soul-Retaining Jade] of a "true disciple" or "inner sect elder" has been shattered into pieces, it will be an absolute big event!

It must be taken seriously and handled to the highest standards!

In order to convey an attitude to the outside world and to appease the hearts of the internal personnel, they will definitely try every possible means and mobilize all resources to find the murderer and fight to the death...

Precisely because of the different identities of the people who left behind the [Soul-Restoring Jade], the Longyan Sect's Soul-Restoring Hall was divided into three areas.

The area that occupies the largest area is where the soul-storing jades of the inner disciples and a small number of outer disciples with "connections" are placed.

You know, the [Longyan Sect] is a top-grade sect that ranks high in the entire cultivation world. Even their outer disciples have cultivation levels ranging from the first to the fifth level of the Xuanhai Realm.

Inner disciples need to reach the fifth to ninth level of the Xuanhai Realm.

For example, Feng Youyu, the incompetent sixth-generation grandson of Feng Qinggu, was an inner sect disciple.

In the more elegantly decorated second cabinet area, the [Soul-Retaining Jades] of the core disciples and outer sect elders were placed.

The core disciples of Longyan Sect must possess the Xuan cultivation realm of the first to fifth levels of the Earth Crystal Realm.

As for the outer sect elders, since the age limit has been relaxed, the strength requirement is actually higher.

Their Xuan cultivation realm must reach above the fifth level of the Earth Crystal Realm to be qualified to be evaluated as outer sect elders.

Walk further in and you will reach the deepest part of the Soul Jade Hall.

The decoration here is the most exquisite and majestic.

Moreover, outside each cabinet partition, there is an energy protection shield that is always open to prevent the soul jade from being accidentally damaged due to accidental touch.

Placed in this area are the [Soul-sending Jades] of the true disciples and inner sect elders!

The minimum standard for the Longyan Sect to select true disciples is to have a cultivation level of above the sixth level of the Earth Crystal Realm.

And this is just the minimum requirement.

In fact, any true disciple of any top-grade sect is an extremely evil being among the younger generation!

Some of them even broke through the limits of the Earth Crystal Realm at a young age and broke through the "Heavenly Gate"!

As long as these chosen ones do not die prematurely, they will basically grow into the mainstay of the sect one day in the future, become the masters of various peaks, or even become the supreme head of the sect!

Compared with these true disciples with great potential, most of the inner sect elders of Longyan Sect have cultivation levels of the first to fourth levels of the Tianmen Realm.

There are also a few great inner sect elders who are able to lead a peak independently, and their cultivation level is between the fifth and eighth levels of the Tianmen Realm.

There is no doubt that Feng Qinggou is one of them.

As for the deputy headmaster, the supreme headmaster, and the great elder above the inner sect elder...

The [Soul Jades] of these people will not be placed in the Soul Hall.

Because the death of any one of these top-tier figures would cause extreme panic to spread within the sect.

This is definitely not what the Longyan Sect wants to see.

"Crack!"

At a certain moment, a crisp sound suddenly came from the third area where the soul jade was placed.

Several disciples who were on duty in the Soul Receiving Hall today and were currently gathered at a small table enjoying a little gambling were all startled by the noise!

"The sound came from the third district?"

"Oh no, go check it out!"

Several people came over in a panic.

Based on the name engraved on the upper edge of the partition, they knew at a glance that what was placed here was the [Soul-Retaining Jade] of Feng Qinggou, the master of the Ninth Peak.

"Huh? How weird!"

"Brother Wang, this piece of [Soul Jade] only has a few cracks, it hasn't completely shattered."

"It shouldn't be considered a 'falling phase', right?"

The young man called Senior Brother Wang frowned after hearing this, then shook his head slowly and said, "I'm not sure about this. I'd better report it to the higher-ups immediately and ask the elders to come and take a look..."
