Chapter 777 - 767: Condensing Innate Soul Light?
In the Soul Hosting Palace at the headquarters of Stars Tower in Xuanlong Domain, an elderly man dressed in gray robes sat boredly in the center of the hall, occasionally glancing at the rows of jade slips on the Jade Pavilion ahead.
Every three inches above the Jade Pavilion, there hung a sandalwood plate inscribed with a name, and beneath each sandalwood plate lay a pitch-black jade slip with faint flashes of soul light within.
This was the rare Soul Hosting Jade Slip of the entire True Profound Continent, and even the financial resources of Stars Tower couldn’t provide each core member with a Soul Hosting Jade Slip.
Only those martial artists holding high positions within Stars Tower, whose roles carried great significance, can leave a Soul Hosting Jade Slip here, such as those with major responsibilities at the headquarters, the Tower Masters or Deputy Tower Masters of the branch towers, deacons at key marketplaces, significant personnel embedded from various sides, and tributes of the entire Stars Tower.
Among millions of martial artists in Stars Tower, only about a thousand are qualified to leave a Soul Hosting Jade Slip here.
The rarity of the Soul Hosting Jade Slip is firstly due to material constraints. The Yin Spirit Jade required for crafting Soul Hosting Jade Slips is extremely rare, being one of the few materials capable of preventing the dispersal of the divine soul.
Secondly, there are only a few top-notch individuals within Stars Tower capable of performing the Soul Hosting Secret Technique, and not just anyone has the qualification to disturb them for its performance.
However, these Soul Hosting Jade Slips are merely precautions against threats; given Stars Tower’s name across the entire True Profound Continent, there are truly few who dare to strike at Stars Tower’s vital individuals.
For instance, the gray-robed elder named Xui Fei, tasked with watching over the Soul Hosting Palace, emits a scent of decay.
He has been punished to guard the Soul Hosting Palace for twenty years now. In those twenty years, not a single Soul Hosting Jade Slip has shattered, trapping him in this prison-like hall for two dark decades.
