My Silly, Sweet Wife

Ye Guichen did not believe that there was any Array in the world that could not be broken. Every Array has a core, and once the core is found and broken, the Array will naturally shatter.

Ye Guichen composed himself and entered the Jiuyou Tower, approaching the Ghost King.

"Young Ye? Why are you here?" The Ghost King, who was just disciplining the newly captured fragmented souls, was taken aback when he saw Ye Guichen coming.

"Old Ghost, do you know about the Soul Refining Array?" Ye Guichen asked urgently as he looked at the Ghost King.

"Soul Refining Array? Why are you asking about the Soul Refining Array, kid?" The Ghost King couldn’t help but feel a bit worried after hearing Ye Guichen’s words.

"Are you stuck in the Soul Refining Array?" the Ghost King asked tentatively.

"Otherwise, why would I bother coming to chat with you!" Ye Guichen retorted angrily.

The Ghost King was taken aback by Ye Guichen’s words and didn’t dare delay any longer, so he told Ye Guichen all the details about the Soul Refining Array.

It turned out this Array has existed since ancient times among the Ghost Cultivators. Initially, it was called the Soul Refining Array, known to be powerful enough to refine even Immortals. However, this Soul Refining Array has been significantly weakened and doesn’t have even one percent of its original power, but it’s still more than enough to deal with usual Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

To completely break this Array, one must simultaneously destroy the skeletons formed within the Array; otherwise, they will regenerate endlessly. As time goes on, the skeletons grow stronger, and ultimately, one can only become a lost soul.

Ye Guichen’s mind flickered as he directly entered the Soul Refining Array, fixing his gaze on the skeletons before him, his expression firm. The fire pupil appeared in his eyes, and he whispered softly.

"Soul Destruction Guide!"

The Soul Destruction Guide is a power acquired after soul arts cultivation has reached perfection. It mainly condenses soul power into a physical entity to attack the soul.

A chain formed of condensed soul power appeared out of nowhere, weaving through the skeletons as if threading a needle.

Soon, nine skeletons were linked together by the chain, their skulls still struggling desperately.

"Explode!"

As Ye Guichen’s words fell, the chain suddenly quivered in mid-air, exploding instantly, and the nine skulls were shattered into powder by the force of the explosion, scattering to the ground.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous sound, the Soul Refining Array shattered in response.

"Your Soul Refining Array isn’t much!" Ye Guichen walked out of the Soul Refining Array slowly, looking at the robed figure with contempt.

"How could this be!" The robed figure’s face twisted with terror at seeing the Soul Refining Array broken.

"Who... who exactly are you?!" At this moment, the robed figure had a mind to retreat, never imagining that a Golden Core Realm individual would have such terrifying combat ability, even capable of breaking their clan’s Soul Refining Array. The robed figure now viewed Ye Guichen as if looking at a demon.

"I am someone you cannot afford to provoke!" Ye Guichen chastised, utilizing soul power to issue his rebuke.

"Jiuyou flame, go!"

A strand of ghostly blue flame burst forth from the Jiuyou Tower, instantly evaporating the moisture in the air, causing ripples in space, its speed breathtaking.

"What kind of flame is this, why does it have such potent destructive power!" Seeing the flame that incited such dread, the robed figure dared not linger another second, employing body movement skills to dash towards the exit.

Yet the Jiuyou flame kept a relentless lock on the robed figure. Despite the figure pushing their speed to the maximum, they were slowly overtaken by the Jiuyou flame.

"Whoosh!"

With the sound of flame burning, the robed figure was instantly incinerated into nothingness, even their bones turned to ash, leaving only a golden Nascent Soul on the ground.

"Dead already?" Ye Guichen was indeed startled by the power of the Jiuyou flame. He intended to use it to wound the robed figure and thus interrogate the whereabouts of the Ghost Cultivators, but did not expect it to annihilate directly.

Apparently, the Jiuyou flame innately has a strong restraining effect on soul power, which is why it had such a powerful effect on the robed figure.

"Alas!"

Ye Guichen looked at the ashes on the ground with disappointment and sighed, "Looks like I’ll need to find another way to track down the Ghost Cultivators."

With that, Ye Guichen stepped forward and picked up the Nascent Soul, carefully examining it.

"Mr. Ye..."

At this moment, a cautious voice came through.

Ye Guichen turned his head to find Uncle Fu looking at him in disbelief.

Ye Guichen took out the Nascent Soul in his hand and handed it to Uncle Fu.

"No, no, Mr. Ye, this won’t do." Uncle Fu hurriedly waved his hands in refusal.

"Uncle Fu, this rightfully belongs to you." Ye Guichen took Uncle Fu’s hand and placed the Nascent Soul in it.

Uncle Fu’s hands trembled as he looked at the Nascent Soul in his grasp, overwhelmed with emotions, gazing at Ye Guichen with deep gratitude.

He never expected Ye Guichen to so readily give away the Nascent Soul he acquired, instantly elevating Ye Guichen’s esteemed image in Uncle Fu’s heart, making him resolve to stay by Ye Guichen’s side no matter what.

Ye Guichen was unaware of Uncle Fu’s thoughts, but he was quite curious about Uncle Fu’s condition.

"Uncle Fu, what caused your Dantian to shatter?" Ye Guichen inquired softly.

Uncle Fu’s face turned bitter as he took out ten stalks of Nine Nether Dragon Soul Grass from his ring, a look of reminiscence on his face.

"A month ago, my older brother and I thought we were strong enough, so we decided to venture out and explore. To our surprise, we came upon a dense forest at the foot of Netherworld Mountain, within which stood a towering ancient tree, and under that tree was an unfathomably deep hollow. My brother and I thought we shouldn’t go home empty-handed since we had already come this far, so we jumped into the hollow. But who could have imagined...."
