The origins of these souls are unknown. This small world was formed before it was taken over by the Yuansheng Institute, and the reason for its formation is unknown.
Yang Yitian felt slightly unwell as soon as he entered the place: "Don't you feel uncomfortable coming in here? I feel a little dizzy! Could it be heatstroke?"
Qi Zhiheng rolled his eyes at him: "The sun isn't even casting a shadow, what kind of heatstroke are you suffering from?"
Qi Zhiheng didn't take Yang Yitian's dizziness to heart, thinking to himself that Shuang'er was too delicate. Something could happen at any time.
"The sun doesn't cast shadows, okay? But why is this place so eerie?" Yang Yitian subconsciously moved behind Qi Zhiheng.
Qi Zhiheng felt that the surrounding environment was very familiar. It wasn't that he had been here before, but the atmosphere gave him a sense of familiarity.
"Awooo! What's that!" Yang Yitian suddenly saw a white shadow flit through the woods and immediately hid behind Qi Zhiheng. Although he had killed many demonic beasts, this was truly the first time he had ever seen a ghost!
"Since this is the Forest of Ten Thousand Souls, it must be a resting place for souls!" This environment reminded Qi Zhiheng of the void space his soul entered after his death in his previous life, a space where many remnant souls also resided.
What happened next? As for what happened after that, he didn't remember it very clearly. He seemed to have heard a bell ringing at the time.
What was that bell? He still doesn't know, only that he seems to have absorbed a lot of remnant soul power, making his soul body more solid.
Qi Zhiheng released his soul power, and the surrounding remnant souls seemed to have smelled something alluring, emerging from the Soul-Binding Wood and rushing towards Qi Zhiheng.
Qi Zhiheng's soul power split into several streams, capturing and tearing apart several remnant souls before absorbing them.
After absorbing the remnant soul, his own soul power increased slightly.
Qi Zhiheng found it very strange. Normally, cultivators cannot absorb other remnant souls unless the remnant soul wants to possess them and enters their sea of consciousness. The current situation left him somewhat puzzled.
"Is that a quest item?" Yang Yitian asked, noticing the small black bead, about the size of a pearl, that had fallen to the ground.
Qi Zhiheng stepped forward, picked up the Soul Crystal, and put it away: "That's right, this should be one of the four types of quest items, the Soul Crystal."
The remnant souls in the area they were in weren't very strong, probably only around the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining. Qi Zhiheng's soul power was formidable; even when dispersed, he could kill them one by one, absorbing their soul power to enhance his own.
The two continued towards the center of the Ten Thousand Souls Forest. Several stronger wandering souls approached them again. Qi Zhiheng continued to fight. The closer they got to the center, the denser the wandering souls became.
After adapting to the situation, Yang Yitian was able to calmly face these remnant souls. He was not yet able to fight these remnant souls with soul power like Qi Zhiheng, and could only concentrate spiritual power to attack the brows of these wandering souls.
This was the weakness of these wandering spirits, and he felt as if this weakness was imprinted in his mind. Accurately controlling his spiritual power to kill the wandering spirits gave him more confidence.
Seeing that Yang Yitian was handling the wandering souls with relative ease, Qi Zhiheng paid less attention to him.
