After Liu Yunqing took the temple in Sun Valley, the white, glowing power, like spiritual energy, continuously seeped into his body.

However, because there was only one temple and not many people in Sun Valley, the power that could be provided to her was limited, and although it was continuous, it was only as thin as a hair.

After those powers surged into Liu Yunqing's body, as the spiritual energy circulated and merged with Liu Yunqing's original power, a small portion of the power, which even Liu Yunqing himself was unaware of at this moment, returned to the temple.

The power that returned to the temple transformed into a protective force, falling upon every member of the Sun Valley tribe.

This was originally a closed loop.

After Liu Yunqing successfully refined the bead he had obtained from hunting wandering souls and vengeful spirits, the power suddenly increased. Not only did it strengthen Liu Yunqing's own power, but the power returned to the Sun Valley Temple also suddenly increased, leaving the people of Sun Valley confused about what had happened.

However, whatever happens, it is a great thing for the people of Sun Valley. They can simply take it as their god's cultivation level rising to a higher level, providing them with even stronger protection.

Filled with excitement and gratitude, the people of Sun Valley became even more devout in their devotion to the new god.

Liu Yunqing could feel that the connection between her mind and the Temple of the Sun Valley had become even stronger, but she didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to it at the moment.

The reason we initially retreated to the Soul-Gathering Gorge was because there was danger outside the gorge.

The reason Liu Yunqing wanted to try refining those beads was simply because he was idle and because he wondered if the environment of the Soul-Gathering Valley was more suitable for refining them.

Once Liu Yunqing had truly refined it, he realized that it wasn't because it could only be refined in the Soul-Gathering Valley, but because the prerequisite for refining this bead was obtaining the temple.

In this way, regardless of whether it was dangerous outside the Soul-Swallowing Valley, Liu Yunqing was not in a hurry to go out for the time being.

The refining speed of those beads was relatively slow at first, with Liu Yunqing refining them one by one. However, after becoming more proficient, this process became somewhat unsustainable.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Yunqing simply took out all the beads, arranged them in a circle, and then sat inside the circle to refine them with all her might.

...

One day, two days, three days...

Liu Yunqing, who was fully immersed in refining the bead, had long lost track of time and forgotten the dangers outside the Soul-Stealing Abyss. He was completely absorbed in the comfort of gaining power after refining the bead.

When no more power flowed into her body, Liu Yunqing knew that all the beads had been refined. Feeling completely refreshed, she slowly exhaled a long breath and then slowly opened her eyes.

Where is this?

"Wasn't I in the Soul-Gathering Valley?"

Liu Yunqing's stretching motion was abruptly halted, and her narrow, spirited eyes widened into round, almond-shaped eyes, filled with confusion.

Thinking about why he had retreated to the Soul-Stealing Abyss, Liu Yunqing's expression changed. His confused look turned into a wary one. He pulled back his outstretched yawn and spread his divine sense around.

Liu Yunqing's divine sense had been spread out, but he was even more confused.

This place is called the Soul-Gathering Stream.

However, there is not a single wandering or resentful soul in the Soul-Gathering Valley.

Those lingering, dark resentments have long since vanished.

When Liu Yunqing's divine sense spread out to a certain extent, it collided with a transparent barrier and bounced back.

So the current situation... is that after refining those beads, I also refined those wandering souls and vengeful spirits?

Liu Yunqing found it hard to accept this fact.

But that is indeed the truth.

If the Soul-Gathering Valley has lost its soul, can it still be called the Soul-Gathering Valley?

Without the veil of wandering spirits and vengeful souls obscuring the Soul-Stealing Valley, the person outside...

Liu Yunqing stood up from the ground and walked quickly towards the exit of the Soul-Swallowing Stream.

When she reached the vicinity of the exit, she slowed down, maximizing her senses, and slowly moved towards the exit step by step.

Liu Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief only after leaving the Soul-Stealing Abyss and finding no further danger.

Although she didn't know who was waiting for her, she could guess that refining those wandering souls and resentful spirits must have taken a lot of time, and that person couldn't wait for her to leave.

After the crisis was over, Liu Yunqing casually dusted off non-existent dust from his body and glanced at his cultivation level.

I was stunned again.

Her cultivation level had quietly reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm without her even realizing it.

However, Liu Yunqing's advancement has always been rapid, so although the speed was a bit fast for her, it wasn't a big deal.

The truly miraculous part lies in the changes to Liu Yunqing's physical body.

After absorbing some of the immortal energy in Red Moon City, the bones that had been gradually becoming transparent have now become completely translucent, with a faint red glow on their surface, clearly a sign that they were forged from immortal bones.

In addition, the meridians around Liu Yunqing's body were tinged with a faint white halo, which was the glow of the power that Liu Yunqing obtained from refining the beads.

After observing the changes in his body and feeling the hardness of his bones and the great flexibility of his meridians, Liu Yunqing vaguely felt that even if his cultivation level was not yet at its peak, his physical body was probably indestructible in the Sun Realm.

This was something to be very happy about, and Liu Yunqing's lips curled up slightly.

But only for a moment, and the smile on her lips froze.

Suddenly, Liu Yunqing remembered what the mother tree had said and couldn't help but look up at the void in the sky.

Is this the work of Heaven?

As a pawn of the Way of Heaven, what will be the final outcome?

"Boom boom boom—"

A muffled thunderclap suddenly exploded above Liu Yunqing's head in the clear blue sky.

Liu Yunqing's expression changed, and he immediately understood that this was a warning from Heaven.

Liu Yunqing's expression shifted several times as he suppressed the myriad thoughts in his mind and tried to think about the problem from a better perspective.

Since I am a pawn of the Heavenly Dao, it is perfectly acceptable for me to act arrogantly in the Sun Realm before the Heavenly Dao completes its game, right?

Temporarily setting aside his thoughts, Liu Yunqing pondered where to go. As he spread out his divine sense, several carefree young disciples barged in.

"Hey, that Soul-Stealing Ravine is really eerie. Won't it be dangerous for us to go there like this?"

"Coward! You were scared away by that little commotion before you even saw it?"

"You're the coward! I'm just being cautious! What if the Soul-Swallowing Valley explodes?"

"Hahahaha! What nonsense are you talking about... Holy crap! What did I just see?!"

The group approached, laughing and joking, but froze in place when they saw the scene before them.

Is the Soul-Swallowing Valley gone?

The group rubbed their eyes in unison, then craned their necks in unison to look at the Soul-Stealing Stream, which was originally filled with black mist, but was now completely empty. They were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

What surprised them even more was that a Golden Core cultivator dressed in red, with a heroic appearance and an aura of immortality surrounding him, was standing in front of them in a daze.

"Senior, do you know what happened in the Soul-Gathering Valley?"
