Chapter 1838: Seclusion VI
Xing Jiangjun arrived at the Yunlong Zhuzhai; he couldn’t find Ling Yun or his wives there, but he saw the five little immortals training on the training ground in the residence’s Western Area. Judging from the immortal energy in their bodies, he knew that they were the children of Sheng Ming, Hua Xianren, Huang Hao, and Dongfang Qinzhi.
Xing Jiangjun didn’t disturb them and went to the Eastern Garden, where Huang Lingzhu was waiting for him.
"You have arrived."
"I met Ling Yun’s clone in another domain, and he sent me here." Xiang Jiangjun sat cross-legged not far from Huang Lingzhu. "Have you mastered all the stages of that soul technique? How much has your soul power improved?"
Huang Lingzhu shook her head. "I’ve tried everything, but I still can’t master the last stage of the technique."
"Oh?" Xian Jiangjun was surprised by that. "Are you really unable to master that stage?"
"No." Huang Lingzhu sighed in disappointment. "From the start, Ling Yun told me that the fifth stage was unreachable, but I didn’t believe him. After trying for quite some time, I still couldn’t master it."
"What made you fail?"
"My soul power." Xian Jiangjun was confused by that; he knew Huang Lingzhu’s soul power was the highest, and it should be higher than Ling Yun’s. "My soul power is indeed higher than all of you, but you must remember that we only have one soul. Meanwhile, Ling Yun has several souls, and he can merge them into one, so his soul power surpasses mine."
Xian Jiangjun nodded in understanding. "So, it is certain that we cannot master the fifth stage of that technique, huh?"
"No." Huang Lingzhu shook her head. "Even if we can’t master the fifth stage, our soul power increases significantly after creating our soul seas, so you can focus on that."
"Alright." Xian Jiangjun let out a soft sigh. "Ling Yun has already given me the technique, and he also provided the proper method for learning it, so I’m going to give it a try now. By the way, did something happen to Yan Xian and Qin Dongwu?"

"Something did happen to them, but you don’t need to worry about them." Xian Jiangjun frowned at Huang Lingzhu, his gaze turning sharp. "Someone is protecting them, and that person will save them if they are in danger, so they won’t die."
"Who is that person?"
"Chaos."
Xian Jiangjun’s body stiffened for a moment, his eyes widening in shock. However, his expression soon changed to relief, and he believed nothing would happen to Yan Xian and Qin Dongwu. "What—"
"Stop asking questions and focus on your soul power," Huang Lingzhu cut him off. "The day of the final battle is drawing near, and we must prepare ourselves to assist Ling Yun in the final battle.
Xian Jiangjun nodded seriously. "I’ll start now."

Bai Xuanyue, who had previously decided to go to another domain, decided to return and join Liao Shuzhen.
After receiving a voice transmission from Huang Lingzhu, they decided to return to the Forgotten Starfall Domain, eager to learn Ling Yun’s soul technique.
.
.
.
Amidst the heavy rain, a blue-haired woman stood amidst a pile of devil corpses, her blue eyes gazing at her victims without expression.
The woman was none other than one of the immortals, the rain immortal, Mu Xianyu. She earned this nickname because her abilities were related to the water element, and all her techniques produced torrential rain like now.
Mu Xianyu raised an eyebrow when she received the voice transmission; she immediately listened to the message from Huang Lingzhu, who asked her to go to the Forgotten Starfall Domain.
"The Forgotten Starfall Domain is Ling Yun’s home domain, right? Why did Huang Lingzhu ask me to go there?" Mu Xianyu pondered to herself before contacting her. "A new soul technique? He created the technique? How did he do that? I knew he was Long Hun’s sole heir, but I didn’t know that he could create such a technique, and Huang Lingzhu seemed to think highly of that technique."
Mu Xianyu tried to contact Sheng Ming and the others to ask about it, but she couldn’t reach them because they were in seclusion within the Chaos Dragon Domain, which cut off their connection to the outside world.
Mu Xianyu looked at the devils roaming the domain; she immediately moved and slaughtered them. After they died, she flew away from that domain, and the Forgotten Starfall Domain was her next destination.
.
.
.
In another domain, another female immortal was facing numerous devils invading the domain. No matter how many times she slaughtered them, they kept coming back.
Her oval-shaped face is soft and delicately sculpted, with a refined jawline. She has smooth, porcelain-like skin, with a luminous complexion. Large almond-shaped brown eyes, framed by long, dark eyelashes and gently arched eyebrows. Her nose is narrow and straight; her lips are small and softly tinted rose.
She has long, wavy brown hair that extends well past her waist. Loose framing strands surround her face, while the rest of the hair falls naturally over her shoulders and her back.
She has a tall and somewhat full figure, with narrow shoulders, hourglass curves, two slender arms, and two long legs. Her deep V-shaped neckline dark purple satin dress wraps her body, accentuating her supple and round D-cup breasts.
*Swoosh... Swoosh...*
"Hmm?" The woman stared at the countless rays that descended from the sky and eliminated all the devils in an instant. She was slightly surprised when she saw a woman descend from the sky. "How did you get to this domain, Mai Lingyi?"
"Haha," Mai Lingyi laughed as she landed in front of her. "Previously, I eliminated the demons in a nearby domain, and I intended to go to the next domain. However, I sensed your aura here, so I came here to see you, Shen Ying. Have you received Huang Lingzhu’s voice transmission?"
"Yes." Shen Ying nodded. "I was thinking of leaving for the Forgotten Starfall Domain after eliminating these devils, and your arrival made my task easier. However, I was confused by the strength of these heretics, and I felt that they were stronger than in the past."
"You’re right, I feel that way too." Mai Lingyi agreed with her. "Since your business in this domain is finished, we should head to the Forgotten Starfall Domain now."
"Let’s go." The two immediately flew together. "Do you know how Ling Yun created the soul technique?"
Mai Lingyi shook her head. "When I arrived at his residence, Ling Yun had already finished creating his soul technique, but he hadn’t taught it to anyone else, including his wives. Moreover, I rarely communicate with him, and I’ve been more focused on training one of his daughters, so I don’t know about it."
"I see." Shen Ying nodded in understanding. "Since Huang Lingzhu urged us to go to Ling Yun’s residence, his soul technique must be extraordinary, so I can’t wait to learn it."
"Hehe," Mai Lingyi chuckled. "Ling Yun’s soul techniques are certainly extraordinary, given that Chaos himself accompanied him during the process."
"Huh?" Shen Ying was shocked. "Did Chaos really accompany Ling Yun when he created that technique?"
"That’s right." Mai Lingyi nodded. "Chaos accompanied him from the start; otherwise, Ling Yun’s soul would have long been destroyed, and he would have become a soulless living being."
"You mean?"
Mai Lingyi told Shen Ying about how Ling Yun created the Yin-Yang Soul Refining Art, including when he destroyed his soul space to reshape it.
Hearing that, Shen Ying trembled in horror; she never expected Ling Yun to do such a crazy stunt to create his soul technique. If Chaos didn’t help him in the process, his fate would end as Mai Lingyi had said before, and the universe would end up being swallowed by darkness.
"He’s really crazy!" Shen Ying took a deep breath after saying that.
"Ling Yun is crazy." Mai Lingyi nodded in agreement. "Fortunately, he managed to create that soul technique, and his soul power surpassed all immortals, including Huang Lingzhu."
Shen Ying sucked in a breath, her expression slightly odd. "I didn’t expect there to be a living being capable of surpassing Huang Linzhu’s soul power. Although Ling Yun is Long Hun’s sole heir, he is still an ordinary human with immortal energy in his body, so his achievements are undeniably extraordinary."
"I can’t wait to learn his soul technique, and I want to know the increase in my soul power after I learn it."
"Me too." Shen Ying turned to her. "Does that mean Huang Lingzhu contacted all the immortals and asked them to go to Ling Yun’s residence?"
Mai Lingyi nodded. "They should already be on their way to the Falling Starfall Domain, but I don’t know their exact location, so it might take them some time to get there."
"By the way, do you know anything about Yan Xian and Qin Dongwu?"
"What happened to them?"
"I don’t know what happened to them, but I haven’t been able to contact them for a while."
"That’s weird," Mai Lingyi muttered to herself. "Have you asked Huang Lingzhu about this?"
"I’ve asked her, but she said that she was busy with her own affairs, and she didn’t know about their whereabouts."
Mai Lingyi frowned; she felt Huang Lingzhu’s behavior was unusual. She was certain that something had happened to Yan Xian and Qin Dongwu, and the time lord was deliberately hiding it from them. "I don’t know what happened to them, but we’ll probably get the answer once we arrive at Ling Yun’s residence, so we have to go there as soon as possible."
"Let’s go."
