Chapter 109: Devouring Beast Soul

  His face was full of suspicion and uncertainty, Yi Chen extremely wanted to go in and take a look, but he endured it.

  If this is indeed a mineral vein, it would be better to inform Yisiqing as soon as possible. After all, a mineral vein is too important for a family.

  If it's a slightly larger vein of ore, the spiritual stones stored within can support a family's prosperity for thousands of years. If that's the case, then the Gu family will eventually surpass the Ye family.

  "Someone's coming out." Yi Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing several breaths of air heading towards the exit.

  To avoid startling the snake, Yi Chen tiptoed and quickly retreated a distance, hiding behind a lush tree.

  "Rumble." The huge stone slab was pushed open again, and six figures walked out first, who were the Chen Hun realm masters from just now.

  "Hurry up." One of them looked around and then beckoned towards the cave, urging with a shout.

  The voices had just fallen when more than a dozen figures emerged from the cave, each carrying a box. After walking out, they carefully placed the boxes on the ground.

  "No problem." One of them opened the lid and started checking, while Yi Chen was relatively far away and couldn't see what was inside the box.

  "It's a fluctuation of soul power. Could it be the Soul Spirit Stone?" Although he couldn't see, the familiar fluctuation from the box caught Yi Chen's attention.

  "No problem, let's go." After checking, one of them used a storage ring to put away all the boxes.

  "Go." The dozen or so people who had just moved the boxes returned to the cave, while the six Chen Hun Realm experts also quickly left, heading back in the direction they had come from.

  "Could it be that the Gu family really discovered a mineral vein here?" After they left, Yi Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  However, he didn't go in to investigate. There were two auras inside the cave that were no weaker than his own. It seemed there were other experts at the Chen Xuan realm inside. If he went in, not only would he be putting his life in danger, but he would also be stirring up trouble.

  "Only after completing the training can I tell Grandpa."

  Yi Chen calculated and realized that there were only five short days left before the Mo Jian Shi Conference began, which led to this decision.

  "In just five days, he had advanced to the quasi-yellow soul realm. It seemed that he needed to find an even more powerful demon beast." Yi Chen's face showed a hint of frustration, as he was quite dissatisfied with his current cultivation speed.

  "Being able to depict the Five-Star Magic Mirror will increase one's chances of winning the Magic Mirror Master Conference."

  A resolute glint flashed across his eyes, Yi Chen gazed deeply at the location of the mountain cave, then turned and left.

  The speed wasn't very fast, after a period of walking, Yi Chen arrived at the central location of the Tian Du Forest, where the magical beasts were even more powerful than those on the outside.

  "Hiss." With a flash of his body, Yi Chen jumped down from a large tree and then found a cave. After confirming that there were no magical beasts inside, he directly entered the cave.

  After checking and making sure there was no danger, Yi Chen found another large stone and blocked the entrance of the cave.

  He has now collected a considerable number of beast souls and is preparing to absorb them all, upgrading the next beast soul's level before continuing his training.

  "Huh." With a mouthful of turbid air, Yi Chen sat cross-legged on the ground and then took out all the beast souls he had collected over the past few days.

  There are sixty third-level beast souls in total, and five fourth-level beast souls. I believe that if all of these are absorbed, my own beast soul will be able to advance a level.

  With anticipation in his heart, Yi Chen took out the Heavenly Book and then slightly stirred a strand of soul power, which seeped out along the meridians and infused into the book.

  "Hmm." The Heavenly Book trembled slightly, releasing a faint glow, and the Beast Soul also began to quiver gently at this moment.

  To urge on the beast soul, one must first urge on the heavenly book. This made Yi Chen even more certain that there was a special connection between the heavenly book and the beast soul.

  "Hiss." Under constant urging, the beast soul began to twist and turn, forming a whirlpool, a powerful suction force emanating from within.

  Without thinking much, Yi Chen began to mobilize his soul power and wrapped one of the third-level beast souls with it, bringing it into his body through that suction force.

  "Hum." The third-level beast soul seemed to sense danger and began to struggle, charging horizontally in an attempt to break free from Yi Chen's control.

  But it couldn't break through Yi Chen's soul power wrapping, and was directly swallowed by his beast soul. Afterwards, he felt that the space that the beast soul could contain had increased a bit.

  The process went relatively smoothly, and Yi Chen didn't stop moving, swallowing all the remaining dozens of third-level beast souls.

  The accommodating space continued to rise, but did not break through the third level, which made Yicheng extremely surprised.

  So far, the number of demon beast souls swallowed by Yi Chen's beast soul has reached an astonishing level, but it still hasn't broken through to the third level. The difficulty of upgrading has left him speechless.

  "There were still five fourth-level beast souls left, and it was unknown whether swallowing them would allow him to smoothly advance to the fourth level." Furrowing his brow, Yi Chen didn't think much of it, and instead focused his gaze on the fourth-level beast souls.

  "Hiss." Continuing to urge on his Soul Power, Yi Chen wrapped one of the four-level Beast Souls and directly brought it into his Dantian.

  The fourth-level beast soul sensed danger and struggled even more fiercely, but it was futile no matter how hard it struggled, as it was wrapped in soul power, and was directly devoured by Yi Chen's beast soul.

  Space has been improved, but the expected upgrade did not occur.

  There were still four fourth-level beast souls left, and Yi Chen didn't rush. He circulated his soul power again and swallowed another one.

  Still no upgrade, Yi Chen felt somewhat disappointed, and directly used his soul power to wrap around the three beast souls, absorbing them all at once.

  The space of the beast soul continued to rise, but this time Yi Chen was able to clearly feel that the space of the beast soul seemed to touch a certain barrier.

  "Was it a bottleneck for upgrading?" Yi Chen was stunned, and after reacting, he quickly checked the situation of Dan Beast Soul.

  The space of Beast Soul was originally able to continuously improve, but now it's as if there is a transparent barrier blocking the growth of Beast Soul space.

  The three beast souls that were just swallowed transformed into a burst of energy, striking the transparent barrier, but to no avail. Moreover, with each strike, the energy would decrease by a bit.

  As there were not many of them, they were all used up after a bout of impact.

  Although there was no upgrade, it touched the bottleneck, which is a pleasant news. As long as this bottleneck is broken through, the level of the beast soul can be upgraded.

  "To break through this bottleneck, I'm afraid it will take a considerable amount of energy to succeed." Yi Chen murmured, and then took out the sixth-level beast soul he had obtained last time.

  "It seems like I can only use this beast soul."

  He had thought that with those beast souls, he would at least be able to advance by one rank, but the result was far beyond his expectations.

  To break through the bottleneck, a huge amount is needed, and currently only this sixth-level beast soul can achieve it.

  "I hope I can succeed." With a sigh, Yi Chen opened the black bag, and instantly a white beast soul was exposed to the air.
