Chapter 7: Unknown Remnant Soul

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

How could a small sect at the border possess such a thing?

The remnant soul of a woman was puzzled.

Although the eastern continent was big, it was nothing more than a small island compared with the other continents in this world.

Resources were scarce, and spiritual energy was sparse.

Even the cultivation world there was extremely weak.

If the remnant soul were at her peak, she could sweep across the entire eastern continent by herself.

She had already seen it when she followed Xiao Huohuo to pay homage to the sect.

Among the top esoteric sects there, ordinary elders only held Profound Rank artifacts, and even Earth Rank artifacts were very rare.

If even their dharma treasures were so shabby, how strong could they be?

Therefore, the woman did not think highly of the entire eastern continent.

She had actually suffered through a great change, and her cultivation had been reduced by eighty to ninety percent. Even her physical body no longer existed.

However, in the eastern continent, she had never needed to fear anyone.

But now…

When she looked at the mountain gate again, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the words, “Grand Mystery Sect.”

For a moment, she was stunned and puzzled.

After a long time, she finally returned to her senses.

“How is this possible?!”

“These three words actually contain sword essence?

“Could they have been carved by a sword cultivator?”

The remnant soul’s heart was filled with shock.

Even though she was experienced and knowledgeable, she did not know what to say right then.

Should such a precious treasure not be placed in an important place within the sect to be protected and observed day and night so that its mysteries could be understood?

Should it be placed out there like a plaque?

Was she unable to keep up with the changes of the times, or did this Grand Mystery Sect not know how precious it was?

“Incomplete spirit, quickly retreat!”

The voice sounded like the Great Dao, ringing out once again and striking Xiao Huohuo, as well as the remnant soul’s hearts.

“Senior, what should we do…”

Xiao Huohuo panicked. “Why don’t we pay respect to a different mountain sect?”

“Switch sects?”

“Do you not know the rules?”

“You have already paid respects to this mountain and obtained the sect’s consent. If you leave without participating in the trial, it will seem as though you are disrespecting the sect.

“Once you leave, there will only be one outcome: the other party will kill you by force!” the remnant soul in the ring said seriously.

“If there is really no other way, you can only put me down and charge into the array alone.”

“This…”

Xiao Huohuo was so frightened that his face turned pale. He looked at the imposing mountain gate and was somewhat at a loss. Nevertheless, the obsession he felt in his heart immediately strengthened his resolution.

“Okay! I’ll give it a try!”

Xiao Huohuo put down the ring, took a deep breath, and began to challenge the array.

However, he was prepared to deliberately reveal a flaw so that the Grand Mystery Sect would judge him as a failure in the trial.

“There’s no need to admit defeat on purpose. This is your opportunity. Take good advantage of it.” The remnant soul’s cold voice rang out behind him.

“But Senior, you…”

“Just take it as the string of our fate has come to an end.”

Xiao Huohuo trembled. He did not say anything further and walked into the array.

The scene changed, and he came upon the day when the engagement was canceled…

…

“Oh, you’re here already?”

Ye Chen looked at the sect map. It showed that someone had entered the array and begun the trial.

Then, he opened his Heavenly Obervation Eye.

The teenager’s name was also displayed in front of him.

Name: Xiao Huohuo 

Bone Age: 18

Aptitude: Excellent 

Personality: Perservering, Determined

Cultivation: None 

Constitution: Yang Flame Hellfire (able to fuse with all kinds of strange flames in one’s body and erupt with great power)

Luck: 50,000

Loyalty: 0

…

Wow!

Ye Chen instantly felt invigorated!

The value of his luck was even higher than Gong Lingyun’s, and this child of luck had not run away!

Moreover, his name was not too familiar to him!

“Logically speaking, he should have a ring on his body. There should be an old man or something inside.”

Ye Chen swept his gaze over Xiao Huohuo’s body, but he did not find any ring.

However, in the sect’s information list, he saw that a “threat” was listed.

Unknown Remnant Soul: Threat Factor 6, Safety Factor 3. Unknown intent, not allowed to pass.

Both factors almost added up to a 10.

For the Grand Mystery Sect, the higher the Safety Factor, the better. The lower the Threat Factor, the better.

From the looks of it, the mountain defense array had blocked it, and this was a good demonstration of the mountain defense array’s strength.

“Tsk, as expected of the system. It can even recognize such a big shot.

“Most importantly, it can even block him out.”

“All right, let me see it.”

Ye Chen glanced at Xiao Huohuo who was still in the middle of the trial, and in a flash, he left Dragon Head Peak.

…

Outside the Grand Mystery Sect, a woman in a light yellow dress was standing 30 meters away from the stone tablet.

Her appearance was unparalleled, and she had a light temperament, as well as slight worry on her face.

Even so, she gave off a cold and noble feeling, as those she was a thousand miles away from the rest.

It was an aura unique to those who had reached a high level of strength. Although there was only a wisp of her soul left and her strength was not even one-tenth of what it used to be, she still retained that rare characteristic.

“Sigh…”

She sighed softly and looked at Xiao Huohuo’s back in the array with some reluctance, inciting pity from others.

“What? Feeling reluctant?”

A mocking voice sounded.

The woman’s expression changed, and she sensed a life-threatening crisis. She swept her sharp gaze to the side, but she did not spot anyone.

“Who’s there?!

“Hiding your head and showing your tail is nothing!”

She continued to look sharply to the side but did not find anyone.

“Look up.”

Ye Chen chuckled.

The woman abruptly raised her head and saw an extremely handsome man in white. He was standing on a long sword that was covered in seven colors of light. The man was standing in the air with his hands behind his back.

A calm yet extremely majestic aura emanated from his body, making people want to submit to him.

Then, a sad look appeared on her face.

Judging from the power that the longsword emitted, it was definitely an immortal weapon.

Moreover, its grade was not low; it was at least Middle Grade or even higher.

One could not even imagine how powerful he was for him to possess such an immortal weapon.

Right then, she had no way of dealing with him.

“Don’t worry, I don’t have any ill intentions for the time being.”

Ye Chen smiled and continued, “I’m only interested in you. Tell me about your background.”

“Have you heard of the Purple Rainbow Immortal Palace?” the woman asked coldly.

“No.”

“In that case, it is not worth talking about.”
