After March.

In the dark underworld, a dazzling ray of light came from the depths of the distant underworld, gradually crossing the entire underworld, and also awakened the Dead Soul City above the Styx, making the city gradually rejuvenate a new day.

Gan Jue sat cross-legged on his stone bed. The dark sea glow crossed the sky, and a ray of light flashed on Gan Jue's face through the window of the room, which also made Gan Jue slowly open his eyes.

"Is it a new day? It seems that today is the day to hunt the soul ring..."

After coming out of the soul space, Gan Jue sorted out what happened today and found that today was the day when he needed to hunt the soul ring.

During these three months, Gan Jue finally broke through to level 50 a week ago by refining his soul and arrived at the level of the Soul King.

The Soul Sect broke through level 3 in three months, which seemed too terrifying, but this was actually the level after Gan Jue controlled it. Because three months ago, less than two days after Su Jiuer taught him the Dead Soul City martial arts, Gan Jue suddenly had an idea. The Dead Soul City martial arts can refine souls, so can his Qianjue martial soul work on these souls?

The result is obvious.

As the God of Death in the Rune Continent, how could Qianjue not work on his soul? So whether it is the light arrow shot out by Gan Jue behind the possession of Yang Ling or the direct biting of the wolf spirit, it will dissipate those souls. And the dissipated soul will still increase Gan Jue's soul power, and it is even a little more than Gan Jue's refining with the Dead Soul City technique. Moreover, Gan Jue no longer needs to consolidate any soul power. The increased soul power is no different from what Gan Jue cultivates bit by bit. It can be directly used by him as an arm, without any obscure feeling.

Gan Jue even tried it and directly used Qianjue's martial soul to destroy ten souls within a day, without feeling any discomfort. This surprised Gan Jue and was also a little scared. The powerful effect of Qianjue's martial soul made Gan Jue a little worried, one day in the future, would he really become an evil soul master and then become an enemy of the entire Douluo Continent...

That was definitely something he didn't want to see.

So after that day, Gan Jue began to control the speed of refining souls. According to what Su Jiuer said, refining one earth every day, and other times were used to deduce the martial arts in the soul space. But even so, the increase in soul power was very considerable. Finally, he reached the level of the Soul King a week ago, which made Su Jiuer very satisfied. He told him that seven days later, he would take him to the Misty Canyon to help him hunt the soul ring.

And there is another good news, that after three months of failures, Gan Jue finally deduced his first martial art, the Fierce Fighting, in his soul space.

This is a fire-type cultivation technique, which evolved from the skills taught by the master. Although the improvement of the cultivation speed is not much stronger than that taught by the master, its biggest feature is that, like the name of this technique, it can bring the soul power of the cultivated soul master with fire attributes. For example, after Gan Jue practices now, the light arrows he shoots will be accompanied by high-temperature flames, and the explosion power after hitting the target becomes stronger, which is still very good. Gan Jue thinks that he can teach him to the fat man in the future, which should make his strength higher.

After deducing this fire-type martial art, Gan Jue's next goal is to deduce the sacred martial arts of the Light. After all, he is now in the evil soul master organization. If he can deduce this kind of martial arts that specifically restrains souls, it should play a great role. Even if he doesn't use it to deal with the Dead Soul City and use it to deal with the soul attendant in the Secret Realm of the Nether Sea, it is also a good choice.

Yes, Gan Jue now knows what the Secret Realm of the Underworld Sea that Su Jiuer has always mentioned.

It was a strange space deep in the Nether Sea. The Dead Soul Stone in the Dead Soul Ring that stored the Dead Soul City and refined the soul was mined from the Secret Realm of the Nether Sea.

Every year, the Secret Realm of the Nether Sea can only enter four advanced soul masters (soul saints) and mine the Dead Soul Stone from it and bring it out for use by Dead Soul City. In the past, the Dead Soul City has always sent four level 69 soul emperors to enter the Dead Soul Stone. They are the tribe members who stay at level 69 to enter the Secret Realm of the Nether Sea to mine the Dead Soul Stone. Each of them is a hero of the Dead Soul City.

But this year is different. Su Jiuer has told Gan Jue privately that this year she is planning to let the four young city lord candidates enter the Secret Realm of the Underworld to mine the Dead Soul Stone, just as a selection of the four of them. Whoever brings out the most Dead Soul Stones will be ahead of others in the election of the Young City lord. Being able to select such a major event that concerns the whole year of Dead Soul City practice is enough to show Su Jiuer's courage.

However... Is the Death Soul Stone in the Secret Realm of the Underworld really so easy to mine?

That is certainly impossible.

In addition to the increasingly rare souls in the Styx River, the declining of the Dead Soul City actually accounted for a large part of the reason for the difficulty in obtaining this Dead Soul Stone.

First of all, the Dead Soul Stone cannot be placed in the storage soul guide, which leads to the limited death soul stones brought back from the Secret Realm of the Dead Soul City every year. Moreover, there is a powerful creature called Secret Soul in the Secret Realm of the Dead Soul. They are in human form and seem to be formed by human souls. But for some reason, their strength is even stronger than before. Although they have no wisdom and only have simple instincts left, even the most ordinary Secret Soul is generally at the level of the Soul Sect, and the most powerful one will even reach the Title Douluo!

Only in the year when the divine light of the Nether Sea appears every ten years, will the Nether Sea Secret Realm not limit the strength of entering the soul master. That is, at that time, the Lord of Dead Soul City will enter the Nether Sea Secret Realm with the three Lords to clear the powerful soul servant, so that in the next nine years, the soul master who enters the Nether Sea Secret Realm to mine the Dead Soul Stone can be easier.

But..., Dead Soul City cannot kill all the attendant souls, because the Dead Soul Stone and the attendant soul seem to be mutually reborn. When the attendant souls become rare, the Dead Soul Stone will also become rare accordingly. Therefore, there is one degree of this that requires the Dead Soul City to grasp.

This year is the ninth year after the last clearance of the Secret Realm of the Nether Sea. It is the most dangerous and the richest reserves of Dead Soul Stone. In the record of Dead Soul City, this year, the death rate of tribesmen entering the Secret Realm of the Nether Sea is the highest, but the harvest is also the best. This is a year when danger and opportunity coexist, so Gan Jue must also prepare well.

"Young Master, you're awake."

Just as Gan Jue was thinking, Xiao Xiu, the maid who Gulan arranged for Gan Jue, suddenly knocked on the door and walked in with a tray.

"Xiaoxiu..., I said, you don't have to make breakfast for me anymore, I'll just go to the cafeteria to eat by myself."

Gan Jue looked at the tray in Xiaoxiu's hand and said helplessly.

"How can I do it? The young master is a candidate for the young city lord. Time is the most precious. How can I waste time on the way to the cafeteria? Moreover, I am the young master's maid. These are all things I should do. By the way, the young master, today is your day to hunt the soul ring. Remember to wait until the city lord's place, don't be too late."

Xiaoxiu smiled and placed the breakfast on Ganjue's table, reminding Ganjue to arrive.

"knew..."

Gan Jue nodded, sat at the table, and looked at the eggs and pancakes in front of him helplessly.

He didn't dislike Xiaoxiu's breakfast, she made it quite delicious. But maybe because Dead Soul City was afraid that he would not adapt, so Xiaoxiu has always used the food from Douluo Continent to make food for him, and he was a little tired of it. He really wanted to try the food from Dead Soul City. Last time he happened to go to the canteen and saw those things that were pretty good.

He looked back secretly and saw that Xiaoxiu had left, Gan Jue snapped his fingers and turned the eggs and pancakes in front of him into hand-catch cakes and tea eggs, and then he started eating with relish.

After eating, Gan Jue changed his clothes and came to the hall where he usually practiced. As soon as he pushed the door in, Gan Jue saw Su Jiuer sitting cross-legged on a wide chair, wearing a black robe, practicing with his eyes closed, and Gulan, who had not seen him for a long time.

"City Lord, ancient."

Gan Jue walked over and bowed to them with a smile. Su Jiuer ignored her, but Gulan smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Okay, I haven't seen each other for three months, and I've arrived at the Soul King. How about it, our martial arts practice in Dead Soul City is fast!"

"It's quite fast... Why? Old Gu also wants to pay us a compensation to go together today?"

"No, I won't go. It's enough to have the city lord accompany you alone. In the place where the Grand Canyon, it's not good to have too many people. I came to help the city lord handle affairs and see you by the way. By the way, boy, before I left, I changed you a beautiful maid according to your request. How about it, have you coaxed into bed?"

Gulan said, approaching Gan Jue and giving Gan Jue a look of "you understand".

"No..."

Gan Jue rolled his eyes, not wanting to pay attention to this wicked old man.

"Okay, let's go. Old, I'll leave it here to you in the next few days."

Su Jiuer opened her eyes at this time, stood up and said to Gulan.

"Okay, please don't worry, lord, I will handle it."

Seeing Su Jiuer talking, Gulan stopped talking nonsense to Gan Jue and bowed respectfully to Su Jiuer.

"Um."

Su Jiuer nodded, without saying anything, turned around and left. After Gan Jue said goodbye to Gulan, he hurriedly followed. The two of them took the elevator of Douluo Continent again, passing through the black giant pillar in the center of the Dead Soul City, and came to the bottom of the Dead Soul City again.

However..., after leaving the huge black pillar this time, they did not walk towards the majestic gate of the Dead Soul City, but turned to the side and walked towards the lonely hexagonal tower.

"City Lord, don't we go out through the city gate? Are there any other passages when we return to Douluo Continent from the underworld? Is it in that tower? And the pool we just passed by, what are the viscous green liquids that are bubbling? Is it poison?"

Gan Jue followed Su Jiuer and asked like a curious baby. There was no way. He spent most of the three months practicing and never left the level where they were. Moreover, after spending a long time with Su Jiuer, Gan Jue felt that her temper was quite good. When he was in his original state, he basically didn't care about others, but just did his own thing silently.

Although I often punish others when I am in a state of intelligence, it is just a small punishment. I will never act like in other novels and will take human life, so Gan Jue gradually let go.

Anyway, Su Jiuer should not be able to kill herself, so what are she afraid of?

However, Su Jiuer ignored Gan Jue's question at all. She is in her own state now, and her introverted personality makes her already faded desire even more indifferent, as if she doesn't want to care about anything.

The two of them walked along the way until they were about to get close to the hexagonal tower, and Su Jiuer finally spoke:

"The tower is the exit."

After saying that, he walked towards the first floor of the tower.

"The tower is the exit..."

Gan Jue repeated Su Jiuer's words and looked up at the tower that was already close.

To be honest, if this tower is really tall, it is not very high, it is only a few dozen meters away. Gan Jue counted a little and found that the tower was only nine floors. I just don’t know where Su Jiuer said it...

Gan Jue thought, but found that Su Jiuer had arrived at the bottom of the tower and was about to push open the gate of the first high tower. Gan Jue hurried over and walked in with Su Jiuer who had opened the door. Finally, he saw the scene inside the tower.

This is an empty corridor, with a wide corridor, with many strange statues standing on both sides. On each statue, there is a burning light green oil lamp, making this dim corridor full of faint green light.

"Is the city lord leaving again...?"

As soon as the two of them closed the door, an old and hoarse voice suddenly came. Gan Jue hurriedly looked over and saw a black shadow slowly walking towards them in the darkness in the distance. It was not until he got closer that Gan Jue could see the other person's face clearly.

This is an old woman who looks very old. She is holding a paper lantern emitting green light, hunched over, her pale and sparse hair hangs down, and she looks very old and has a near life.

"Go to hunt the soul ring."

Su Jiuer looked at the old woman and said concisely.

After hearing this, the old woman turned to look at Gan Jue. She seemed to have poor eyesight. She took two steps closer again and slightly lifted the green lantern. She seemed to finally see Gan Jue clearly and nodded slowly.

"Then you go, lord... Remember to pay attention to safety. Tracing the space turbulence in the Grand Canyon is not easy to deal with..."

After the old woman finished speaking, she left slowly step by step. Gan Jue looked at her back, looking confused.

Although generally speaking, old people in places such as towers, pavilions, towers, etc. are likely to be peerless masters, but this old woman is too old, right? You know, Douluo Continent is not a martial arts world. Generally, after reaching the Soul Saint, appearance and other appearance changes will begin to become very slow. Like Chen Xin, Gu Rong, etc., they are all in their seventies or eighties, but their faces still look like uncles. So although Gan Jue really wants to treat this old woman as a master, he can't imagine how she will fight against the enemy in such a state.

After the old woman left, Gan Jue followed Su Jiuer and walked through the corridor for a while, he came to a stone staircase. After walking several layers, the two finally stopped in front of a stone door. There was a strange pattern engraved on the stone door. Gan Jue couldn't understand it very well, but it should be a plant.

And Su Jiuer shook her Death Soul Ring in front of the door just like a black giant pillar, and the stone door slowly rose, revealing the space behind the door.

This is an empty hall. Apart from the candlelight swaying around, there is only the wormhole in the center that is more than two meters high and is quietly rotating.

It turns out that the exit is here... but there should be only one wormhole. Logically speaking, there should be one wormhole stored on the first floor. There are eight wormholes on the nine floors, leading to eight places. I don’t know if they are all in the Grand Canyon... or there are all in Douluo Continent...

Gan Jue looked at the deep and dark wormhole and couldn't help but think in his heart.

"Give me your hand."

Su Jiuer suddenly stretched out her hand to Gan Jue and spoke indifferently.

"oh..."

Gan Jue didn't hesitate and immediately grabbed her. After three months of contact, Gan Jue was no longer surprised by these things, and was pulled by Su Jiuer. The two of them now entered this space wormhole and disappeared into the tower.
