In the Land of Sanguinity, at the bank of a mountain spring in the West. The mouth of the spring was bright red, appearing exceptionally strange and frightening. From time to time, the sounds of ghosts wailing could be heard.
William sat across Vigilante A at the spring.

I can agree to the conditions you stated. Can you tell me the secrets of this spring now?
Vigilante A lightly said.

Thank you, Venerable One. If not for the fact that this is too important, I wouldn’t have used it as a condition. My intention is not to blackmail the Venerable One. I’m not interested in the arcane realm at all. If I become that kind of heartless thing I wouldn’t be different from a stone, and will have no more feelings for women. What’s the point of living for millions of years then?
William smiled.

That’s good. Then, let’s start.




Please come with me, Venerable One. You’ll immediately understand the true secret of this spring.

Saying that, he jumped into the mountain spring and disappeared.
Vigilante A followed suit.
In the System Space, Fang Ning could not help but be overcautious and on edge.

If this land is targeting us, it’ll be bad.
Fang Ning said worriedly.

What are you afraid of? Don’t just say the land is powerful. Although it’s true that it can limit my performance, it can’t hurt me. Don’t forget, not only am I Inland-Sea Level, but I also have a protective treasure from the outside world’s Heavenly Axiom. What can it do to me? Otherwise, it wouldn’t have especially looked for us and offered us the choice to walk its path.
The System said nonchalantly.

It’ll be good if that’s the case. I can be a little relieved then.
Fang Ning was very pleased. Since Sir System was this confident, everything would be fine.
Before long, he saw a vast place under the mouth of the spring through the System View.
The place was surrounded by stone walls, and had a radius of a hundred meters.
Although it was deep down the bottom of the spring, it was very bright as there were spiritual fires on the walls. The lights bubbled forth from time to time inside the walls and floated to the top of the spring along with the current.


Every person indeed had their own strengths. William was really quite amazing to actually find this channel between the arcane realm and the outside world.
If it were Fang Ning, he would not even know where to start.
Vigilante A also asked,
William, how did you find this place?


Hehe, that has something to do with my Natural Trait. People often call me the ‘Son of Heaven’, so perhaps it can be said that this is the heavens guiding me… In fact, a sacred light is always lit in my heart. It was that which guided me here and let me know about this place, a communication channel between this arcane realm and the outside world.
William did not disguise anything and said straightforwardly.

You are an honest person. Not bad.
Vigilante A nodded.

You flatter me, it’s all thanks to the Venerable One’s continued patronage over the years. These secrets should not be told to anyone, but to the Venerable One, I believe that it wouldn’t harm me.
William was very trustful.

Very well. Now let’s take advantage of the soul channels on these stone walls…
Vigilante A lightly said.

What are you planning to do?
William questioned modestly.

We’ll complete your agreement first. Aren’t you looking for a soul that has been dead for twelve years? I’ll use the traces left in this soul channel as a basis to calculate for you.
Vigilante A said.

That’s great. I’m very grateful to the Venerable One. You indeed are a trustworthy man. You’ll never destroy the bridge after crossing the river. 1
 I’ve made the right gamble.
William said with heartfelt gratitude.


He knew very well that if it were any other Powerhouse, his earlier agreement would have probably ended in him being silenced.
That was very normal. In a dangerous situation, who would be willing to waste power? Of course it would be most appropriate to kill them after using them.
After all, he was lacking in cultivation, and was only a mere Pond-level. The distance between him and those true Powerhouses was still large.
Plus, the power consumed to deduce where the soul was far more than the power needed to kill him.
This was also the fundamental reason why he was so straightforward. Vigilante A’s reputation, his cultivation path, and his character and experiences formed the basis of his trustworthiness.
Before long, Fang Ning heard the System Notification.
[The System consumed 30,000,000 Experience Points and used the True Bodhi Tactics Legendary Level Secret Arts —’Soul Recall’ to find Jill Robert’s soul…]

Oh, there’s a story here…
Fang Ning immediately felt gossipy.

Hey, Mr. Rich Boss, is now really the time? We’re doing proper business now.
Sir System was very dissatisfied.

Oh, sorry, my bad. Please continue.
Fang Ning said sheepishly.


Vigilante A then said,
Alright, Jill’s soul is located. She’s somewhere in this land and hasn’t completely disappeared. However, there’s that large alchemy formation outside, so I’ll first retrieve her soul to prevent any accidents. I’ll think of other uses for this soul channel later.


I’ll have to bother the Venerable One then.
William was really full of gratitude at this moment. He fully understood the benefits of dealing with a truly upright person. You never had to worry about the other party deliberately scheming against you, using you, or hurting you.
The precondition was that you had to be an upright person as well.
His uncle was such a person, which was why he did not hesitate to support him.
He would never cooperate with a person like Hook and trust in him to simply give the soul to him or help him.
On the contrary, the other party would most likely use the soul to coerce him into completely being his tool in the future.
However, that person should have already died in the hands of those evil alchemists. God’s plan truly supersedes man’s.
Before long, Vigilante A left William alone at the bottom of the mouth of the spring and went out on his own.
William waited expectantly where he was.
A stream of memories immediately surfaced in his mind.


Once upon a time, he had also fought for the goal of becoming a true ‘Son of Heaven’. However, that innocent and kind fool died. God did not care for him, and from then on, he never believed in any God…
God never existed outside of people’s hearts.
Fortunately, all of this could be undone.
This was the Era of Vitality, an age where danger lurked on every side. However, the existence of danger meant that there was a turning point.
In the past, he had absolutely no hope. To make up for this regret, he could only leave a huge hole in his heart.
Day after day, he indulged in sensual pleasures to numb himself, until the day he died of old age…
Just as he was falling into his memories, he finally saw Vigilante A appear in front of him again.

Venerable One, how was it?
He forcefully suppressed his excitement. It was especially now that he had to control himself.
That was because he understood that the larger the hope, the bigger the disappointment.
With the appearance of those alchemists, many sould were destroyed. He was very worried that he was a step late…
This kind of melodramatic plot was often shown in movies.

Well, this isn’t a movie, after all… There are more than a billion souls here, and the souls destroyed by those evil alchemists did not even number a thousandth. I found Jill’s soul… As you said, she really is a kind person. Even if she repeatedly reincarnated into a sea monster, she never killed before, not has she attacked or hurt her kind. Unfortunately, because of that, she died quite a lot of times and is now very weak…
Vigilante A praised.

Ah, then, can she still recover?
William asked anxiously.

There’s no harm in giving her my Soul Strengthening Pill.
Vigilante A said lightly.

That’s great. I’ll buy it no matter the cost.
William promised eagerly.

Very well. I found an appropriate place for her. We’ll continue discussing this after leaving. Now, I need to think about how to use these soul channels…
