Currently, with only his soul left, he was sitting and adjusting his breath in a snowy mountain range in Northern Zhongzhou.
After using his last bit of strength to seal that little girl Xiao Xun Er, the generation of overlord was truly at the end of his tether, relying purely on willpower and Heaven-realm soul cultivation to barely ensure his consciousness didn’t scatter.
All he could do now was temporarily stabilize this soul before seeking other ways to recast a physical body.
The good news was that the Gu Clan would finally no longer pose a threat.
As for the Emperor Locking Array, although its effect was incomparably overbearing, it also had a fatal problem: the array’s efficiency in absorbing energy would become weaker and weaker as the host’s cultivation decreased, eventually failing completely.
However, Soul Emperor was confident, which was why he burned his Dou Di body to use the Emperor Locking Array to seal Xun Er.
He was sure that even if she didn’t fall into lust, it would take at least a hundred years to cultivate back to the peak of a 9-star Dou Sheng, and the Emperor Locking Array would have a very serious impact on her mental path, making it hard for her cultivation to progress after waking up.
He then checked the operation of the Emperor Locking Array; all the energy drawn from Xun Er was used by Soul Emperor to strengthen the restriction he left in the Soul Realm to protect his clansmen.
Although Soul Emperor was very greedy for this energy, because of “Soul-Melting,” he could not use it for himself under any circumstances.
The so-called “Soul-Melting” was an iron law publicly known among the Eight Ancient Families.
As everyone knew, the bloodlines of all the Ancient Families on the Dou Qi Continent were inherited from Dou Di, and the prestige of a Dou Di was incomparable.
Among them, there was one iron law: after anyone became an Emperor, while the Dou Di would certainly activate the bloodlines of all clansmen, allowing his direct descendants and even later generations to have their cultivation skyrocket, there was only one thing to remember, which was that the bloodline cultivation between Dou Di must never be fused!
After reaching Dou Di and activating the bloodline power, the descendants of different Dou Di bloodlines, no matter how thin the bloodline or even if it was too low to be detected, absolutely could not use any method to mutually absorb each other’s ability and cultivation.
Because once the energy of another bloodline entered the dantian and sea of consciousness, the two majestic Dou Di bloodlines would attack each other within a single body!
This scene was called “Soul-Melting” by the ancient Dou Di.
And “Soul-Melting” only leads to death and is absolutely unsolvable.
Even blood exchange, soul transfer, or even possession is of no use!
In addition, the practitioners of the Dou Qi Continent had always regarded taking away other practitioners’ cultivation by any means as the most evil of evil paths!
Also, because of the consequences of “Soul-Melting,” people from the major ancient clans were absolutely intolerant of such situations; once encountered, they would only kill them all.
After all, they in high positions couldn’t do it themselves, so if people at the bottom did it, it would surely bring endless disaster.
Therefore, Soul Emperor could only use this part of the energy leaked from Xun Er for other purposes and never dared to absorb it himself.
However, this did not affect members of the same bloodline, which was why there were many couples in the eight ancient clans who formed Dao partners and practiced together within the same family.
Soul Emperor then checked the situation of Xun Er in the soul space he left, confirming that Xun Er had started to lose cultivation.
Only then did he feel completely relieved.
Seeing Gu Yao’s panicked and inexperienced virgin-like behavior, Soul Emperor almost laughed out loud.
A Gu Clan Dou Sheng with a hundred years of cultivation was actually flustered like a novice in front of a comatose little girl.
Based on his performance, it seemed that these four young Dou Sheng of the Gu Clan would soon fall into an evil path even faster because of Xun Er.
As for playing with people’s hearts and the research of souls, no one in this world could surpass Soul Emperor.
Moreover, the scheme of letting the four take turns using the jade slip to be alone with Xun Er was an extremely malicious tactic.
He even deliberately lowered the absorption efficiency of the Nothingness Devouring Flame in the array eye; the pure Dou Qi energy leaked by the little girl during a climax would be an incomparable tonic for the four Saints of the Gu Clan.
These young Dou Sheng would surely develop a taste for it and eventually do who knows what crazy things to capture energy.
Soul Emperor himself estimated that within two months, this arrangement would surely achieve the effect of “two peaches killing three warriors.” As for Xun Er lying alone in a small bedroom with an ambiguous atmosphere and dim red light—it was all Soul Emperor’s meticulously arranged psychological hints.
He didn’t believe anyone could keep their mental state unmoved when facing such a beauty alone, especially since the ones he was tempting were the four useless members of the Gu Clan who had always regarded this little girl as a celestial being.
Thinking of this, a rare smile appeared on Soul Emperor’s face.
Now that the clan’s internal restriction was stable and external threats were finally cleared away, Soul Emperor could finally settle into closed-door cultivation.
Currently, although he only had a Soul-realm soul left, he could still influence and change the cognition and behavior of ordinary people within a small range.
Coupled with his expertise in human nature, he knew that at the subconscious level, a small change can often lead to monumental consequences.
Thinking that both internal and external troubles had been removed, Soul Emperor took a deep breath, and his soul became completely silent as he entered meditation to restart his cultivation.
