After resolving the trouble at Longxue Villa, Di Jiu returned to Qixue City and started his journey of refining soul fragments again.
Time flies like an arrow.
As Emperor Jiu continued to refine the soul fragments, time quietly passed and two years passed.
During these two years, Di Jiu often sneaked into Qixue Academy to read books, which made him sure that he was in the Endless Snow Region.
From the books he read, Emperor Jiu learned that the Endless Snow Region was very large, so large that no one had ever reached its borders.
At the same time, the Endless Snow Region is also very small, so small that there are only twenty-one cities in the entire Endless Snow Region.
The two seemingly contradictory introductions made Emperor Jiu instantly understand that there were restrictions around the Endless Snow Region that prevented all living things from entering or leaving.
During these two years, Ling Xiao's Longxue Villa has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
With the help of the Blood Demonic Art bestowed by Emperor Jiu, the strength of everyone in Longxue Villa increased greatly, and Ling Xiao even broke through to the late stage of Grandmaster at a rare speed.
The mission scope of Longxue Villa has also expanded from the area around Qixue City at the beginning to all sixteen ordinary cities including Qixue City.
Above ordinary cities, there are four royal cities and one imperial city.
There are many masters in Juncheng, and grand masters can be seen everywhere.
The Imperial City is extremely mysterious. Even the powerful ones in the Venerable Realm dare not act arbitrarily in the Imperial City.
Therefore, with the current strength of Longxue Villa, expanding the scope of the mission to all ordinary cities is already the limit of what they can do.
Qixue City, Mo’s House.
In the quiet room, Emperor Jiu slowly opened his eyes, and a terrifying soul pressure flashed in his eyes.
"The soul fragments of a Half-Step Immortal Realm expert, combined with the soul fragments of a split soul of an Immortal Realm expert, have actually allowed my soul realm to directly reach the middle stage of the Great Emperor Realm."
Emperor Jiu raised his hand slightly, and everything in the room suddenly floated up.
"Inside my sea of soul consciousness, apart from the four soul fragments emitting a terrifying aura, everything that belongs to me and that doesn't belong to me has been recovered."
Summoning the seal from his soul sea and holding it in his hand, Emperor Jiu's expression was gloomy and uncertain: "Tell me, how should I deal with you?"
"Buzz!"
As soon as Emperor Jiu finished speaking, the seal began to tremble, and a will of submission emanated from the seal.
"boom!"
The terrifying soul power erupted, and Emperor Jiu poured the soul power directly into the seal with overwhelming force.
"It's okay that you fooled me once, but you want to fool me a second time?"
In the seal, Emperor Jiu, whose body was condensed by the power of his soul, looked coldly at the weak remaining soul floating in the void with its eyes closed.
"How do you know that I haven't completely disappeared?"
The mysterious man's eyes slowly opened, and a feeling as if his fate was controlled by someone suddenly surged into Dijiu's heart.
Waving his hand and using soul power to block out this strange feeling, Emperor Jiu said calmly, "From the very beginning of my cultivation of the Emperor's Art, you took the opportunity to place this soul fragment within my body. A chess player like you who likes to plan ahead of time, how could you not leave a way out for your soul fragment?"
"Then how did you determine that I left a remnant of my soul within the seal?" Seeing his plan exposed, the mysterious man asked curiously, "Didn't you witness with your own eyes the Heaven-Devouring Demon Ancestor pulling my soul fragment and exploding together?"
At this point, the mysterious man smiled and said, "Besides, didn't you devour the soul fragments that were formed from the shattered soul of this lord? Why do you still doubt that this lord's soul hasn't completely disappeared?"
"Of course I don't know whether your soul fragment has completely disappeared."
Emperor Jiu's tone remained cold. He said calmly, "I only know that there are no spirits in holy artifacts. Whether it's the Six Paths of Reincarnation Platform in the underworld or the Tianyan Compass in Tianji Valley, I haven't found any spirits in them."
At this point, Emperor Jiu paused, then said in sudden realization, "Think about it, they are meant to be used by us. Why would they develop self-awareness? If they develop self-awareness, wouldn't they become a different kind of living creature? To go from inanimate objects to living things is inherently illogical."
"Hahaha!"
Hearing what Emperor Jiu said, the mysterious man burst into laughter. He no longer asked why Emperor Jiu did not guess that his residual soul was hidden in the palace.
"why are you laughing?"
The mysterious man's laughter made Di Jiu frown. His guess should not be wrong.
"Interesting chess piece. You don't like being controlled. I look forward to the day when you grow up enough to compete with me. I just don't know what choice you will make when that time comes."
"Hahaha!"
As the mysterious man laughed, his remaining soul turned into starlight and completely disappeared into the void.
"He disappeared just like that?"
After withdrawing the soul power from the seal, Emperor Jiu stared blankly at the seal in his hand, and a clear sense of control suddenly emerged in his mind.
"Idiot, you believe my nonsense."
Flipping his hand and storing the seal in his soul sea of consciousness, Emperor Jiu cursed softly, "Are these Immortal Realm guys so bored that they have to find ants like us to show off their presence? Do you think teasing ants is fun?"
"The technique still won't work. It seems the problem lies with these four soul fragments."
Closing his eyes slightly, Emperor Jiu once again entered the sea of soul consciousness, staring at the four soul fragments in the void in a daze.
"Um?"
