Chapter 1406 - Six Soul Runes
Liu Wuxie's eyes narrowed as he gazed at the mural on the dome. A sudden realization flashed through his mind.
Could that spherical structure be the passage to the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain? he wondered, still caught in the realm of speculation. The memories he had gained from Tianlin's soul rushed back to him.
From those memories, he had seen a scene identical to the one on the mural—members of the loulan race leaving the Blood Fiend Battlefield, loaded with their belongings.
Just then, Fiery stirred awake, and its powerful aura yanked Liu Wuxie's attention back from the mural. After refining Tianlin's soul, Fiery had reached the fifth level of the Void Realm, surpassing Liu Wuxie's own cultivation.
"Fiery, tell me everything you saw," Liu Wuxie asked, hoping to confirm his suspicions. He needed to know if the memory within Tianlin's soul matched what he had witnessed.
Fiery spoke, recounting seeing groups of the loulan race emerging from the gate, the exact opposite of what Liu Wuxie had seen.
Liu Wuxie had seen the loulan race leaving, while Fiery had observed them entering the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain. The two memories intertwined, and Liu Wuxie realized that he had to clarify everything, as a small mistake could render all his efforts meaningless.
The sounds of fighting outside had ceased entirely, a sign that the experts of the loulan race would soon return. When Liu Wuxie descended from the top of the building, they had yet to return, but he knew he had to leave as soon as possible.
Reaching out, he grabbed a soul rune and tossed it into the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron for refinement. The tower had seven levels, but there were only six soul runes, meaning one was missing.
"Could the missing one be the one I took from the fifth level?" Liu Wuxie murmured to himself.
Each soul rune acted as a totem to the Loulan race, and their Martial Soul Art was derived from them. It was no wonder other humans couldn't inscribe these runes. Even the ones Liu Wuxie had taught to Xu Lingxue and the others were fundamentally different, originating from the Fleeting Cloud Celestial Realm.
The moment Liu Wuxie took the first soul rune, the building groaned ominously, its structure trembling on the verge of collapse. The experts of the Loulan race, realizing something was amiss, rushed toward the tower.
