Chapter 508: The Familiar Feeling Has Returned

Wang Jianqiang stared at the flame before him, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

Just then, the Star Envoy caught up.

Wang Jianqiang looked toward the Star Envoy, "This flame seems to specifically restrain the soul?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the Star Envoy nodded, "That is correct. This Spirit Flame has extremely limited attack power against physical matter, but it specifically restrains Soul Power."

"And precisely because of this special effect, the intelligence within it is very difficult to erase, making it extremely difficult to refine."

"Back then, Ye Lingyun was aware of this point; knowing he could not refine it in a short time, and being in a rush to pursue Wang Yuyao and the others, he temporarily sealed it here, intending to return and refine it later."

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

He flicked his fingers repeatedly.

Strands of Five Elements Spirit Power merged into the prison.

The pressure inside the prison suddenly increased greatly, and the Spirit Flame's fire was immediately subjected to immense suppression.

Like a candle in the wind, it seemed as if it would extinguish at any moment.

Afterward, his Spirit Sense surged out and probed into the Spirit Flame once more.

As his Spirit Sense entered the Spirit Flame, he clearly felt as if his Spirit Sense were being ignited.

Intense pain struck, causing his complexion to pale.

However, because of the suppression of the Five Elements Spirit Power and the support of Will Power, and because this Spirit Flame was only newly born with extremely weak intelligence within, the Spirit Flame Power it could exert was limited.

With these various conditions combined.

The Spirit Sense he had intruded into the Spirit Flame was not directly incinerated.

Instead, it was like a steel wire; although it was constantly being burned, it remained firm.

Enduring the pain of the flames scorching his soul, he quickly swept his Spirit Sense through the Spirit Flame, capturing the trace of consciousness within the Spirit Flame at the fastest speed.

Sensing Wang Jianqiang's intrusion.

That trace of consciousness revealed clear terror.

Wang Jianqiang did not hesitate.

His Spirit Sense swept across.

Instantly erasing that fragile, newly-born consciousness.

With the dissipation of this fragile consciousness, the Spirit Flame's aggression vanished instantly.

The soul-scorching pain transmitted from his mind also disappeared without a trace immediately.

Afterward, Wang Jianqiang did not immediately withdraw his Spirit Sense, but instead branded a mark of his own within the Spirit Flame before withdrawing his Spirit Sense.

He let out a long breath and waved his palm.

The five-colored prison dissipated.

With a flick of his finger, the intangible and formless Spirit Flame flew over automatically, merging into his body and entering his Soul Sea.

As this Spirit Flame entered the Soul Sea.

A scorching aura spread to every corner of the Soul Sea; under the shroud of this aura, his soul did not feel the slightest pain.

Instead, it produced a warm feeling, which was extremely comfortable.

Moreover.

He could clearly feel.

His soul was absorbing this scorching aura in a slow yet continuous state.

After absorbing this scorching aura, his Soul Power began to increase continuously.

Although this rate of increase was extremely slow, it was happening every moment, and required no control from him.

In the short term, the results might not be great.

But if there were enough time, the extent of the improvement would be quite considerable.

To the side.

The Star Envoy saw Wang Jianqiang refine this Spirit Flame in just a short moment.

Her eyes could not help but widen a bit.

Because of the specific nature of the cultivation technique she practiced.

She was very sensitive to the sensing of crises.

She was very clear about the power of this Spirit Flame.

Although this Spirit Flame had just been born and the intelligence within it was newly formed and still extremely weak.

The Spirit Flame Power it could exert was limited.

But given its specific nature targeting the soul.

The threat it posed to a Cultivator was quite significant.

This point could be seen from the fact that even Ye Lingyun, who possessed a specific technique targeting Spirit Flames, did not dare to refine it hastily.

If one lacked specific means to deal with Spirit Flames.

Even a Sixth-tier, or even a Seventh-Order Will Stage Cultivator, would likely have to rely on various ice-attribute treasures or Medicinal Herbs to protect their body before daring to attempt refinement.

And even then, whether they could succeed was still uncertain.

Wang Jianqiang was only at the Fifth-Order Will Stage, yet he had refined this Spirit Flame so simply without the slightest protection??

This guy was truly terrifying.

No wonder every time he appeared, he brought her such an intense sense of mortal crisis.

Just then.

Wang Jianqiang's consciousness withdrew from the Soul Sea.

He looked at the Star Envoy.

"Follow me."

Having said that, he flew up into the air.

The Great Star Envoy snapped out of her daze and flew out closely behind him.

When Wang Jianqiang found the four women again.

The Spiritual Power of Wang Yuyao, Su Yutong, and Yang Wanxin had already fully recovered.

Tushan Youyou's injuries had also recovered by seven or eight tenths.

Seeing the Great Star Envoy following behind Wang Jianqiang, a trace of coldness subconsciously appeared on the faces of the four women.

They then looked at Wang Jianqiang and asked in confusion, "What is she...?"

"I have already planted a Soul Seal on her; from now on, she will no longer be our enemy," Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the expressions of the group relaxed.

Immediately, their eyes lit up one after another.

They had long since witnessed the wonders of Astrology.

When Xing Li was by their side before, they had fully experienced just how convenient it was to have a Cultivator who knew Astrology accompanying them.

Now.

In addition to Xing Li, another person who knew Astrology had been added to their team.

Moreover, her level of Astrology was extremely high.

Even above that of Xing Li.

For such a Cultivator to join the team was a joyous occasion for everyone.

After coming to her senses, Wang Yuyao's expression stirred, "Senior Brother, what about Ye Lingyun?"

"That brat is too slippery; he fled directly toward the entrance of the Great Desolate Ancient Tower and managed to escape," Wang Jianqiang shrugged.

Hearing this, the four women looked regretful.

A moment later.

Wang Yuyao looked at Wang Jianqiang again, "Senior Brother, where are we going next? How about~ we go take a look at the higher-level spaces?"

"No, we are going out," Wang Jianqiang shook his head.

The four were stunned upon hearing this.

Wang Yuyao hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior Brother, there is only one chance to enter the Great Desolate Ancient Tower for free; wanting to come in again later will require consuming a significant amount of Academic Credit."

"If we just go out like this, wouldn't it be a bit of a waste? How about we acquire some more Desolate Beads before we leave?"

"No need, your Senior Brother is not lacking in these peanuts and melon seeds."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head.

It seemed he had been away for a bit too long.

Yu Yao and the others had actually been forced to be this penny-pinching.

It was easy to imagine how scarce their cultivation resources had been over these years.

Thinking of this.

He sighed and casually waved his hand, sending dozens of Jade Bottles floating in front of the four women respectively.

"These are all Desolate Source Liquid, two hundred drops for each person; besides this, there are also some Pills, take them all."

Hearing this, the four women looked at the Jade Bottles in front of them.

They were stunned at the same time.

Then they remembered Wang Jianqiang's usual display of wealth.

They all laughed.

The dozen or so years of separation had made them almost forget that feeling of having inexhaustible resources when being with Wang Jianqiang.

Now, that familiar feeling had returned.
