Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 97 Trading Freedom for Rebirth

Inside the ring, Yao Chen saw Hun Qing touching the bracelet and couldn't help but feel worried for the old man outside.

Although Yao Chen had never personally experienced the power of the Soul-Locking Bracelet, he had felt the power of the Heavenly Soul Lock, which left him with no strength to resist, let alone the Soul-Locking Bracelet, which was specifically designed to suppress the soul.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything, old man..." Tianhuo, wary of Hun Qinghao's aura, immediately waved his hand in surrender, then solemnly introduced himself: "I am Yao Tianhuo, also known as Venerable Tianhuo."

When he mentioned his name, Venerable Tianhuo proudly puffed out his chest, his face full of self-satisfaction.

Hun Qinghao remained expressionless and asked calmly, "Venerable One? What level of Dou Zun were you in your previous life?"

Seeing her calm demeanor, Venerable Tianhuo stared wide-eyed, somewhat incredulous.

He's a Dou Zun!

A Dou Zun! Even in the Central Continent, that would be a top-tier expert, but the little girl's expression remained so calm after hearing it, as if a Dou Zun expert was as common as an ordinary Dou Shi in her eyes.

Yao Chen, who had been to the Soul Realm, said: "Of course! A low-level Dou Zun in that little girl's house is just a doorman!"

"In my past life, I was a five-star Dou Zun. Five stars, five-star Dou Zun. Little girl, do you know what that means?" Venerable Tianhuo approached Hun Qinghao and held up five fingers in front of her.

"I know." Hun Qinghao nodded seriously. "A five-star Dou Zun is very strong in the outside world, but in my Hun Clan, he can barely be considered a high-ranking member."

Just considering the Soul Palace alone, there are only so many Venerable Elders, not to mention the Soul Clan itself, where there are even more Dou Zun powerhouses.

"The Soul Clan?" Venerable Heavenly Fire said he had never heard of them, but he was no less shocked.

The Soul Clan was shocked by Hun Qing's attitude towards Dou Zun. Even Dou Zun experts treated it with indifference, which suggested that the Soul Clan was an extremely ancient family with unimaginable resources.

As a rogue cultivator, it's normal that he had never heard of these top-tier, long-established forces.

"Hehe... little girl..." Venerable Tianhuo rubbed his hands together with a grin, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Hun Qinghao.

Since the girl in front of me has such a powerful backing, she must have no shortage of high-level alchemists. It shouldn't be difficult for her to repair my damaged soul and create a new body for me. I just don't know what kind of conditions she will propose.

The Heavenly Flame Venerable pondered this in his heart, deciding to offer his terms first. He waved his hand, catching the Fallen Heart Flame in his palm, and then took out a white scroll, smiling as he said, "Little girl, I want to make a deal with you. You help me repair my damaged soul and then craft a body for me to revive me. In return, this Fallen Heart Flame and the Five-Round Fire Technique, whose power rivals that of a Heaven-Rank Battle Skill, are yours. How about it?"

Hun Qinghao smiled slightly, and just when Venerable Tianhuo thought that her smile meant she was going to agree, Hun Qinghao shook her head, "No!"

Venerable Tianhuo's smile froze. This shouldn't be the case... Even a top-tier power with deep foundations wouldn't be completely indifferent to strange fires and Heavenly Rank combat techniques, would it?

Seeing the shocked expression on Venerable Tianhuo's face, Yao Chen shook his head with a smile inside the ring. His Qing'er had a high starting point, born to stand at the top of the world. The Heavenly Rank Battle Techniques that others could only dream of were just toys for her when she was bored. How could they possibly move her?

Desperate to escape this awful place, Venerable Heavenly Fire asked again, "Little girl, this is a different kind of fire and a Heavenly Rank combat technique, aren't you tempted?"

Hun Qinghao curled his lips, crossed his arms, and said nonchalantly, "The newly formed Fallen Heart Flame is too weak. It's not even enough to fill Xiao Hei's teeth. As for your Five-Wheel Fire Technique, its power is only comparable to a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique, not a true Heaven-Rank Battle Technique."

"Besides, our clan even has transcendent-level combat techniques, so why would we lack heaven-level combat techniques?"

"Then what do you want?" Venerable Heavenly Fire scratched his head. "This old man has no other treasures besides these two things."

Hun Qinghao smiled faintly and said, "I do have a flawless body here, but things belonging to my Hun clan are not so easy to take. You will need to exchange it for your freedom."

Once you enter the Soul Palace, it's like falling into a deep sea!

Once a powerful individual joins the Soul Palace, there is no possibility of escape. At that time, the Soul Palace will not only gain a Venerable Elder, but also all the knowledge and skills of this Venerable Heavenly Fire will become a part of the Soul Clan's foundation.

This is not as cost-effective as simply wanting to make a trade.

"'free?"

Upon hearing that there was some strange fire, Venerable Tianhuo quickly realized what Hun Qinghao meant; she needed him to join her faction.

"Alright, I agree to exchange my freedom for yours. As long as you help this old man revive, little girl, I'll grant you anything!" Venerable Heavenly Fire agreed to Soul Minister's request without hesitation.

He was a rogue cultivator in his previous life, and was naturally unruly, but that was all in the past. Now, what does it matter if he pays the price of freedom to leave this hellish place and regain his physical body?

Now, Venerable Tianhuo is just like Xiao Yan, whose Dou Qi mysteriously disappeared for three years. He is even more reckless than Xiao Yan, and will hold on tightly to any straw that can save him.

"Since you agree, I'll accept the Fallen Heart Flame." Hun Qinghao reached out, and an invisible little flame floated into her palm.

Seeing Hun Qinghao's actions, Venerable Tianhuo stroked his beard and said, "Didn't you say my Fallen Heart Flame was too weak and you didn't want it?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Hun Qinghao smiled faintly, "Even a small mosquito is still meat. Although this Fallen Heart Flame is a bit small and weak, not even enough to fill Xiao Hei's teeth, it's still good for Xiao Hei to have a taste."

The strange fire, which had not yet developed sentience, was allowed to be swallowed by Hun Qing without any psychological burden.

"Little Black..." Venerable Heavenly Fire murmured softly, having his own guesses in mind.

The one that can devour other flames must also be a different kind of flame, and it must be ranked very high on the list of other flames. I wonder if it is the third-ranked Pure Lotus Demon Flame, the second-ranked Void Devouring Flame, or the first-ranked Mysterious Flame.

Venerable Tianhuo was reluctant to see the newly born Fallen Heart Flame devoured, but he couldn't stop Hun Qinghao either. He could only watch helplessly as she took away the Fallen Heart Flame, his heart filled with sorrow.

Hun Qing carefully stored away the Fallen Heart Flame, not immediately letting the World-Destroying Black Flame devour it. After all, the magma world at the bottom of the tower was quite inconvenient. She planned to wait until she returned to Canaan Academy before letting the World-Destroying Black Flame devour the Fallen Heart Flame.

Then, Hun Qinghao stretched out his hand, and the black ring on his thumb left his finger and floated in the air.

Hun Qing looked at Venerable Tianhuo and gestured, "I need to continue now. You should go into this ring."

Venerable Heavenly Fire drew the white storage ring from the skeleton into his hand and said with a smile, "No need to trouble yourself, this old man has his own storage ring to live in."

"Whether you go in or not is up to you. What dangers lie at the bottom is still unknown. If we encounter danger, I don't have the energy to protect another storage ring," Hun Qinghao said calmly.

The ancient Dou Di's cave holds both opportunities and dangers. If she were to encounter real danger, she would definitely do everything in her power to protect her teacher. As for the other one in the storage ring, the Heavenly Fire Venerable, well, he can only pray for good fortune.
