Chapter 2979

If someone offers favors for no reason, they are either a traitor or a thief.

Although Wu Feng does not really want to harm others, he will not be harmed by others either.

Therefore, Wu Feng waved his hand and said to the essence-soul: "This junior comes from another world, and I estimate that within a short time, it will be difficult to obtain the recognition of this world's origin consciousness. This junior will return to see if there are any other means to improve myself."

As Wu Feng said this, he bowed to the essence-soul, wanting to retreat.

However, the essence-soul suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, Wu Feng heard the essence-soul's hateful voice ring out.

"Kid, you are very smart; you actually saw through this. Not bad, I just wanted to possess you!"

"But you have already walked here; wanting to leave, how could it be that easy!"

Following a burst of spatial power erupting around Wu Feng, Wu Feng discovered that he had already arrived in a small world.

In this small world, it is desolate, filled with yellow sand, and there are many biological skeletons around.

The essence-soul's triumphant voice came from above.

"Hahaha, this is the small world of my life when I was alive, extremely sturdy. Even if you have surpassed the cultivation of a Saint, you cannot escape. Kid, be honest, obediently let me occupy your physical body, and don't bring trouble upon yourself."

"If the senior wants a physical body, this junior can give you a clone, but the senior doesn't just want a physical body, right?"

Wu Feng stood in the desolation, raised his head, and said loudly.

"Hee hee, kid, you are too smart. I want to eat you; only by eating you can I get out. This Soul-Locking Hall is a damn prison. I should have died back then, otherwise I wouldn't have been imprisoned for ten thousand years."

"Do you know how I have spent these ten thousand years? Woo woo..."

The essence-soul's mental state is clearly very unstable; as it spoke, it even began to cry out loud.

Through the intermittent recounting that followed, Wu Feng finally learned the background of the Soul-Locking Hall and these essence-souls.

The Soul-Locking Hall is an existence that appeared very abruptly in the Central Continent World ten thousand years ago, mysterious and unpredictable; no one knows its origin.

This Soul-Locking Hall would communicate with certain high-cultivation cultivators it recognized when they were about to die, stating that if they were willing to contribute their souls after death, it could allow these cultivators to live in the Soul-Locking Hall forever.

The soul of this cultivator and the power of the Soul-Locking Hall mix together, turning into an essence-soul, eternal and indestructible.

Moreover, once new living cultivators come in later, if their attributes match, the essence-soul can leave the Soul-Locking Hall through possession.

However, whether the attributes are suitable or not is not up to the essence-soul itself; it can only let the Soul-Locking Hall determine it.

This has led to the fact that although cultivators have been coming to the Soul-Locking Hall in an endless stream for so many years, this essence-soul has never been able to get out, and when it asks the Soul-Locking Hall, it just says the attributes do not match.

"So, this Soul-Locking Hall is actually a scam? Attracting cultivators to come in just to let the essence-soul possess them?"

Wu Feng asked the essence-soul.

The essence-soul wailed in pain: "Yes, that is exactly it! But if I lose, you can also swallow me. This Soul-Locking Hall is a complete and utter scam! You were deceived, and we were also deceived!"

As it spoke, the essence-soul wailed in pain and rushed to Wu Feng's side; its illusory soul wanted to enter Wu Feng's body directly.
