Xue Kong was well aware of the danger of this soul-searching, but he was not deliberately ignoring his gaze or hearing. His state of mind was already extremely peaceful, and the reason he closed his eyes and breathed was simply that he didn't want to sit here and waste time.
He remembered that this inquiry game had a time limit. Although he didn't know how long it would last, it would definitely not exceed a year.
As a monk, he can still afford to wait for this period of time.
Just as Xue Kong was going through the heart-searching game, other places on the Demon Island were in chaos.
The existence of Ganzhi Mansion was exposed by someone unknown, causing almost all the cultivators who received the news to rush there. A large number of cultivators had gathered outside Ganzhi Mansion.
Some people were killed by the terrifying and strange spiritual plants as soon as they entered the first level. Among more than a dozen people, occasionally one could escape by chance, but he was also scared out of his wits and rushed out of the house desperately.
When the monks outside saw this, they hesitated whether to go in.
The evil reputation of Ganzhi Mansion spread far and wide, and only cultivators in the late foundation building stage, the great perfection of the late foundation building stage, and the Jindan stage did not hesitate and stepped into it directly.
However, just when all the cultivators gathered outside Ganzhi Mansion, several souls covered in black mist gradually floated over from the horizon, attracting the attention of many people.
"Hey, what's approaching?" Someone looked up, surprised.
"It's a soul without an owner."
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "This soul is incredibly powerful. When I faced it, I felt as if I were seeing a sect elder. This soul must have been a cultivator with profound cultivation in his lifetime!"
"There is more than one such soul."
Souls kept floating in from the distant horizon. Some people were frightened, but there were also greedy people who wanted to subdue these powerful ownerless souls. They immediately took measures to attack the souls.
But soon, they were shocked to find that these souls were very special. There were marks on their bodies. Although they looked like ownerless souls, they had been left with slave marks.
"This soul must have been a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of foundation building in his lifetime. It makes me feel scared!" A cultivator looked at the brutal soul in front of him in panic, holding a magic weapon and fighting fiercely with the soul.
Gradually, as souls continued to arrive from the horizon, the cultivators surrounding Gan Zhifu became busy, either fighting with the souls or, if they were more capable, directly taking the souls away.
It's not just this Ganzhifu.
At this moment, souls are flying everywhere in this Demon Island. When they see living creatures, whether they are monsters or cultivators, they will pounce on them ferociously.
No one knows where these endless souls come from.
Until someone began to follow the direction from which the soul flew and search for the past in reverse.
A month later.
In the snowy sky, a group of monks were galloping. Not far away from them, a snow palace appeared, almost blending into the snow.
The Snow Palace was surrounded by monks.
After a month, they followed the traces of the soul and finally discovered the existence of this Snow Palace.
Mr. Li is a monk who loves to collect treasures. He is fat and hospitable, and he is kind and generous. He has always been well-known in Jingwu Kingdom.
Many people admire him for his kind and generous personality. For this reason, there are always many guests following the rich man Li.
At this moment, Mr. Li patted his round belly and laughed, "Today is really an eye-opener. It turns out that the Demon Lord of Treasure Mansion has many caves, and there is one hidden here."
"Yes, if it weren't for the guidance of those souls, this cave is so remote that it would be really difficult to find it." A young guest nodded in agreement.
"The Gan Mansion is extremely dangerous, and ordinary people dare not set foot there. But here, those people have entered the Snow Palace, so it seems very safe." A female guest clasped her fists.
Then he smiled at Mr. Li, the wealthy man, and said, "There must be treasures in this cave. I am willing to go and get them for you, Mr. Li."
"I do."
"We are all willing to do it!" Behind the rich man Li, there were eight cultivators, all of whom were in the foundation-building stage. Among them, four were in the early foundation-building stage, three were in the middle foundation-building stage, and one was in the late foundation-building stage.
They all looked respectful, clasped their fists towards the wealthy Mr. Li, and spoke sincerely.
Mr. Li's face was filled with smiles, and his pancake-like face had a milky white color like a baby's. When he smiled in relaxation, his eyes had to be narrowed into a slit, and he could hardly see anything. He had to open his eyes hard to see the scenery.
His fat body trembled, and he clapped his chubby hands on his stomach, making a thud as if hitting a drum. "Okay! Then I'll trouble you all for your help."
"It's nothing serious."
"It is our honor to work for Mr. Li." The monks laughed and were all very happy.
Naturally, they coveted the treasures of the Demon Lord of Baofu very much in their hearts, but these people had families and small forces behind them, and were dependent on the rich man Li. For the development of their families or forces, they had to curry favor with each other.
Unless they obtain a treasure that can make them soar to the sky one day, this relationship will not end with the discovery of ordinary treasures.
The nine of them flew forward, but before they reached the Snow Palace, the wealthy Li's small eyes widened in surprise, "Hey, those souls actually seem to have self-awareness. They seem quite remarkable."
Everyone looked and saw that among the scattered souls around, there were several souls with bared fangs and claws, showing a ferocious look. They not only pounced on the scattered souls, but even attacked the monks who came forward.
They seemed to be cooperating with each other and not fighting alone. Some monks had even had their souls devoured by them, unlike those confused and ferocious ownerless souls.
"I've heard from my elders that the soul is the master of all living things and the foundation of all things. A low-level, ownerless soul will appear confused, but if the soul can be elevated, it will develop self-awareness."
"By then, this soul will become no different from an ordinary person, with complete thoughts... I think these souls should belong to this category." The female guest said thoughtfully.
Mr. Li chuckled and said, "Interesting, interesting."
The young guest's eyes immediately flashed, and he was the first to speak before the others: "If Mr. Li likes them, I will help you capture these souls immediately. They are quite good, and if they are carefully nurtured, they may even undergo extraordinary changes."
When the others saw that this man had gotten there first, they immediately showed displeasure on their faces, glared at the young guest fiercely, and blamed him for stealing the limelight.
Mr. Li laughed heartily and clasped his fists. "Excellent, excellent. I'll be thankful for all of you."
Everyone immediately rushed forward and used their methods to capture those souls. Those souls were the evil ghosts condensed by Xue Kong. They had been joining forces to attack the monks, but were suddenly blocked by these people.
The battle between the two sides is about to break out.
Mr. Li, the rich man, looked at all this with a smile, walking on the snow, not in a hurry.
Whenever he went out, as long as he mentioned the presence of cultivators around him, there would be a large number of cultivators at his disposal. Therefore, even though his cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building, the number of times he personally took action was very few.
