Chapter 253: Condensing Soul Jade Bed

This stone platform looks like an ordinary rock, but it truly has the effect of condensing the Soul.

Ye Liuyun activated his Golden Pupil and looked over; at a glance, he discovered that inside this stone platform there was indeed another world.

He immediately drew his Demon Slaying Sword and cleaved at the stone platform.

"Ah?"

Lei Ming saw it and was greatly puzzled. But when she saw Ye Liuyun split the stone platform, she couldn't help but let out a startled "Eh" and scream.

It turned out that inside the stone platform a small jade bed was sealed. The piece Ye Liuyun cut with his sword was only the outer rock.

Ye Liuyun examined the jade bed with his Golden Pupil, then fed a strand of Divine Sense into it. Unexpectedly, that strand of Divine Sense was immediately expelled by the small jade bed.

"Hmm? This jade bed has resistance? Could it have sentient intelligence inside?"

Thinking of this, his Golden Pupil flashed, and he covered the jade bed with Thunder Fire Domain, then a golden‑armored Soul brandishing a sword moved to slash the jade bed, while Nether Ghost Fire also surrounded the jade bed, burning its interior.

As expected, from inside the jade bed emerged a small figure with an indistinct face, communicating with Ye Liuyun via Divine Sense, willing to recognize him as master and begging Ye Liuyun not to destroy it.

So Ye Liuyun placed a Soul Imprint on it, and also learned more information about the jade bed.

This jade bed has a name: the Condensing Soul Jade Bed. Not only can it assist in cultivating the Soul, allowing a person's Soul to improve by leaps and bounds, but it can also provide Soul defense.

Ye Liuyun immediately brought out the Grand Hall, placed the jade bed into his living quarters within the Grand Hall, and enlarged the jade bed so that everyone could benefit.

"Mm, this treasure is pretty good; the trip wasn't in vain."

Having taken the Condensing Soul Jade Bed, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense and Golden Pupil scanned the ruined city, finding nothing else, and then immediately ordered Bai Hu to lead the beast herd toward the next destination.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense had already sensed the mark he left on Liang Xue last time, so he kept accelerating, intending to rush to meet her.

Liang Xue was, at this moment, near the next destination.

However, her situation was not good at present. She and a group of disciples from the Water Moon Palace were surrounded in the middle by Chu Heng of the Xuemo Sect, a contingent of Imperial Guards from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and an elder from the Holy Martial Academy who was masquerading as a disciple, leading a crowd.

Liang Xue's cultivation realm had at this point broken through to the Sixth Sea Transformation. Yet among these people, it was still not enough.

At this time, an Elder of the Water Moon Palace who was at the Second Golden Core Layer, along with more than ten female disciples, anxiously kept watch beside her.

"Liang Xue, as long as you hand over the treasure, we will certainly not make things difficult for you!"

These three groups, each with over ten people, indeed exert great pressure on the Water Moon Palace.

Liang Xue felt secretly anxious inside, yet had no plan. She could only hope that the other disciples of the Water Moon Palace would hurry over to reinforce.

The treasure she obtained was a large Bloodline Crystal Stone. Besides herself, she wanted to keep a portion for Ye Liuyun. So she had just risked everything to snatch the biggest piece, only to find these people targeting her.

When these people were in danger they wouldn't advance, but now they came to seize hers.

Feeling unwilling, she clenched the Flying Snow Sword Ye Liuyun had given her, ready to fight.

"Xue'er!" the Water Moon Palace Elder beside her suddenly shouted to stop her. "If you can't win, just give them the thing!"

Liang Xue bit her lip resentfully, just about to toss the Bloodline Crystal Stone over.

Suddenly, a Divine Sense Transmission Voice reached her: "Sister Liang, hold on a bit longer, I'm arriving soon!"

Liang Xue's eyes brightened, and a look of joy spread across her face.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense had already detected the situation here, but he was still over a hundred li away; it would still take some time to arrive.

Liang Xue changed her mind and asked Chu Heng: "I can hand over the Bloodline Crystal Stone, but to whom should I give it?"

Chu Heng gave a cold smile and said, "Liang Xue, stop stalling! Throw the crystal stone onto the ground and you may retreat. If you keep delaying, don't blame me for being impolite."

He was the most confident of getting the crystal stone. Beside him, two Elders at the Second Golden Core Layer had already gathered, and the Elder at the Third Golden Core Layer was also rushing over.

"Fine! Since you say so, I have no objection. It's just a pity…" She paused, looked at the other two groups: "You probably won't get it, you know!"

The Imperial Guard Leader and the elder leading the group also looked at Chu Heng.

Chu Heng shouted angrily, "Don't fall for this girl's trick; she's sowing discord among us!"

The elder, unmoved, said, "Why don't we discuss now how to divide the crystal stone?"

Chu Heng muttered inwardly, "Old fox."

He thought for a moment, then said, "I'll take half, and the remainder each of you take a half; how does that sound?"

The Imperial Guard Leader and the elder also thought it over, assessed their own strengths, and found the proposal acceptable, so they all nodded in agreement.

Chu Heng glared at Liang Xue, "You still haven't taken out that crystal stone; are you really trying to force us to act?" He said, and with two Elders, he advanced toward Liang Xue.

Liang Xue waved her hand. "Fine, fine, don't come over; I'll just toss it! Keep your distance from me."

As she said, she stepped back further.

Then she threw the Bloodline Crystal Stone in front of herself. "You all stay back for now; when we move far enough, you can come over."

Then she led the Water Moon Palace followers to slowly retreat.

When Chu Heng and his group saw Liang Xue actually produce the Bloodline Crystal Stone, they didn't immediately press them.

But after Liang Xue and her group retreated far, a blood‑armored man holding a Wukong Stone suddenly flashed beside the Bloodline Crystal Stone and snatched the stone away.

"Hahaha! Getting such a huge piece of Bloodline Crystal Stone, thank you very much!" Ye Liuyun hoarsely laughed on purpose.

At the same time, he sent a Divine Sense Transmission Voice to Liang Xue, assuring her not to worry.

"Ah…"

Seeing the Bloodline Crystal Stone taken away, the boiled duck flew away, and the three opposing groups were incensed!

"Kid, you're courting death! How dare you snatch our stuff!" Chu Heng shouted.

Ye Liuyun's own blood armor was most unique; even the eye sockets were sealed.

"We are under the Golden Holy Son of the Holy Martial Academy; why don't you promptly hand over the crystal stone?" the elder also threatened, still not being recognized.

Ye Liuyun glanced at the elder, and only now realized that those disguised elders were all subordinates of the Golden Holy Son. Since that was the case, he need not be courteous.

"But where did those people behind him come from?" Ye Liuyun couldn't figure it out at the moment, nor could he ask, so he decided to find the answer himself.

At once, he activated his Golden Pupil, gazed at the elder, dragged his Soul into the Thunder Fire Domain, burned it with Nether Ghost Fire, and two golden‑armored Souls surged forward to slash wildly. At the same time, he also initiated Soul Search.

"So they also have storage spaces that can hold living beings!" Ye Liuyun finally understood how those people behind the elder arrived. Their purpose was to collect treasures for the Golden Holy Son.
