Chapter 1936: Soul-Class Peak Treasure! Was the Beauty Hidden in the Golden House?

"Xu Jingming, this time, I, Xiyue, owe you a great favor."

"Xiyue Zunzhe spoke solemnly, her tone carrying a sincerity rarely seen among Realm Lord-level powerhouses:"

"Whether it is me personally, or the entire Eternal Star Alliance, we will remember your kindness today."

Saying this, she flipped her jade hand.

"Om—!"

A terrifying fluctuation beyond words suddenly spread from her palm!

Xu Jingming's pupils contracted sharply.

He felt his soul tremble involuntarily at this moment!

This was soul-level pressure!

And the source of this pressure was precisely the treasure slowly appearing in Xiyue Zunzhe's palm!

It was an ancient lamp.

The lamp body was palm-sized, its entire form carved from a nearly transparent golden crystal.

Engraved upon the lamp body were dense star-chart patterns.

Each line flowed with a gloomy light that made souls tremble.

At the wick, a cluster of purple-gold flame burned quietly.

Though the flame seemed weak, it emitted an ancient majesty that overlooked myriad ages and subdued all souls!

As the ancient lamp appeared, the entire villa seemed to be pulled into an independent soul domain.

An invisible pressure permeated the air, directly reaching the depths of the soul.

It gave the illusion that even the soul might leave the body.

"This treasure is called the Soul-Subduing Lamp."

Xiyue Zunzhe said softly:

"I obtained it years ago in a dangerous cosmic secret realm; it is a peak soul-class treasure."

She paused, then continued:

"This lamp contains a wisp of stellar soul-flame; it can protect its master and also attack enemies.

When a soul attack is triggered by the lamp's flame, its power is doubled.

And if any other attack invades the soul, the flame will automatically protect the master, burning the intruder into nothingness."

As Xiyue Zunzhe spoke, she gently pushed the ancient lamp forward with her jade hand.

The Soul-Subduing Lamp slowly flew to Xu Jingming's front, hovering in midair.

The purple-gold lamp flame flickered lightly, casting Xu Jingming's angular face in alternating light and shadow.

"I promised you.

If you could slay the Solar Eclipse Overlord, I would gift you a peak soul-class treasure."

Xiyue Zunzhe said gently:

"Now, it is yours."

Xu Jingming did not hesitate or decline.

He reached out and steadily held the ancient lamp.

Upon contact.

A warm and vast soul power surged into his soul like a tide from the lamp body.

His soul resonated strongly at this moment!

The feeling was as if this lamp had been made for him.

"Peak soul-class treasure, indeed lives up to its name."

Xu Jingming's eyes flashed with sharp light.

He could clearly feel that his already immensely powerful divine sense.

Upon grasping this lamp, seemed to rise another notch.

If he were to encounter an opponent skilled in soul attacks again.

With this lamp protecting him, he would nearly stand invincible!

"Excellent treasure!"

Xu Jingming praised sincerely, then immediately moved his divine sense.

He directly stored this peak soul-class treasure, the Soul-Subduing Lamp, into his sea of consciousness.

"Om—!"

At the moment the ancient lamp sank into his brow, his soul jolted violently.

Deep in his sea of consciousness, the purple-gold ancient lamp slowly rose.

At its wick, a wisp of stellar soul-flame burned quietly, resonating with his soul.

His sea of consciousness, already vast as the sea.

Now gained an additional layer of starlike brilliance, as if his soul had been reforged anew.

"Peak soul-class treasure, indeed extraordinary."

Xu Jingming silently marveled.

"These two pieces of equipment are no longer needed."

Xu Jingming's mind stirred again, his gaze falling into the depths of his sea of consciousness.

There, a nine-layer soul tower floated silently, along with an SSS1-grade soul-class equipment.

These two treasures.

One of them is a soul-type supreme treasure he obtained in the Return to Origin Holy Hall.

The other was given by Teacher Frost Crown, and its soul defense is decent.

But for him now, having obtained a peak soul-type treasure, these two are indeed optional.

"Later, take them back to Blue Star and give them to Hearing Ling Shuang and her group to use."

Xu Jingming made up his mind and directly took them out from his sea of consciousness.

The Nine-Layer Soul Pagoda and that SSS1-grade Frost Heart Crown fell into his palm.

Radiance flowed, still emitting strong soul fluctuations.

Xu Jingming stored the two items properly, then turned his gaze back to Venerable Xiyue.

"I checked your records—you exchanged for two supreme arts?"

At this moment, Venerable Xiyue suddenly spoke.

Beneath her moon-white robe, her full figure leaned slightly forward, her beautiful eyes carrying a hint of curiosity as she said:

"Yes, I exchanged for the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Punishment' and the 'World-Annihilating Thunder Spear'."

Xu Jingming nodded, without concealment.

"Not bad, your judgment is excellent."

Venerable Xiyue nodded, a smile appearing on her stunning face:

"These two supreme arts—one is the Thunder Extreme Realm, the other the Annihilation Extreme Realm—both are extremely suitable for you."

She paused, her gaze falling on Xu Jingming:

"Good, I have also cultivated the Thunder Extreme Realm before.

If you have any questions about these two supreme arts, you can come directly to ask me."

Is there such a good thing?

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingming's eyes instantly lit up.

Although he can directly upgrade combat techniques through the Deep Blue System,

he must fully comprehend them before upgrading.

Supreme-grade combat techniques are profound and obscure, far beyond T0-grade techniques. If Venerable Xiyue, a World Lord-level powerhouse, personally guides him, this comprehension process will be greatly shortened!

"Thank you, Venerable Xiyue!" Xu Jingming hurriedly said.

"No need to thank me."

At this moment, Venerable Xiyue had already restrained her emotions, returning to her original charming and graceful demeanor.

She raised her jade hand lightly, tucking a stray strand of black hair behind her ear, her red lips slightly curling:

"You are Frost Crown's companion, and you helped me so much—this is only natural."

However, she paused, then quickly continued:

"But this smell..."

She suddenly sniffed twice lightly, her willow brows slightly raised, looking at Xu Jingming with a half-smile:

"Frost Crown isn't here, and you're already hiding a beauty in your golden house?"

"This..."

Xu Jingming felt a bit embarrassed.

He never expected that the lingering aura left by Ilyas would be detected by Venerable Xiyue.

Also, it's his fault for being careless—Ilyas is a Succubus Sacred Body, and her unique alluring scent is naturally hard to conceal.

He was in a hurry to see Venerable Xiyue, so he only stored the person in his World Ring but didn't have time to clean the room.

"Rest assured, I won't tell Frost Crown."

Venerable Xiyue blinked, then said softly: "This is our secret."

Her eyes flowed, autumn light boundless, her dignified bearing mixed with a different kind of charm.

That faint, elusive fragrance, along with the mature woman's unique rich allure, almost made Xu Jingming lose his composure!

"This Venerable Xiyue.

As expected of a World Lord-level existence, every frown and smile carries a charm that directly strikes instinct."

Xu Jingming's heart trembled; he quickly steadied his mind, though his face remained calm.

"Haha, you really have strong willpower."

Seeing this, Venerable Xiyue couldn't help but chuckle.

Her voluptuous delicate body trembled slightly with laughter.

The fullness of her chest rose and fell slightly with her laughter, like ripe peaches trembling on branches.

Added to her dignified grace were several touches of alluring charm.

Making Xu Jingming involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air.

Good fellow!

Venerable Xiyue is letting herself go completely after her emotional ups and downs!

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore, lest Frost Crown comes to cause me trouble."

After a while, Venerable Xiyue gathered her smile and spoke solemnly:

"Also, I'll give you a heads-up in advance—Black Obsidian Star is about to emerge."
