—------------------—
The border mountains at the western junction of the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire.
Between the dense forests, there are large areas of scorched earth.
The two empires have fought countless wars here over the past thousands of years, and traces of the war can be seen everywhere.
It has been a long time since the two empires had fought a war, and there were no valuable resources in the border mountains. The entire border mountains were deserted and few people set foot here.
"Ahhhhh~"
At a battlefield site somewhere, a group of crows were startled and circled over the site, constantly making shrill and hoarse calls.
In this site, in addition to the crows' calls, there are also some rustling sounds.
If someone came here now, they would probably be scared and run away immediately.
"Huh, I finally found you." A young voice sounded among the rocks.
A young boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old was holding a hoe. There was a big hole on the ground in front of him, which was obviously dug by him.
The boy was using a hoe to hit a lump of mud he had dug out.
As the mud ball was broken up, the object wrapped in the mud revealed its true appearance.
"It turned out to be a jade pendant. It was buried really deep. I'm so tired."
Xiao Mu was leaning on a hoe, his clothes were stained with a lot of mud, and he looked a little embarrassed.
He bent down and picked up the jade pendant. From his perspective, the jade pendant was surrounded by a faint black mist that ordinary people could not see.
"I've got the last soul fragment. I can finally activate the system."
Xiao Mu is a time traveler and has been in Douluo Continent for several years.
After he traveled to Douluo Continent, he became several years younger and also brought with him a system called the Soul Palace System.
Xiao Mu couldn't understand why the awakened system was the Soul Hall system instead of the Spirit Hall system when he clearly came to Douluo Continent. Could it be because his last name was Xiao?
Moreover, this soul palace system has been in an inactivated state, and he needs to collect a thousand soul fragments before he can activate the system.
Fortunately, although the Soul Palace system was not activated, it still provided him with some help, and came with a method of soul cultivation called "Emperor Soul Sutra".
It was precisely because he possessed the "Emperor Soul Art" that he didn't have to rely on luck, but was able to lock on the approximate range of the soul fragments.
Moreover, he had traveled through time and space, and had neither soul power nor martial soul.
The Emperor's Soul Art cannot allow Xiao Mu to cultivate soul power, nor can it allow him to possess a martial soul, but it makes his soul power stronger, and also includes many means of attack.
If it weren't for the existence of "Emperor Soul Art", Xiao Mu would have been buried in the belly of a wild beast long ago.
The place where Xiao Mu traveled to was not far from the border mountains. It was the site of the battlefield where the two empires fought, and the number of soul fragments was much greater than anywhere else.
After a long search and excavation, he finally gathered a thousand soul fragments.
This jade pendant contains a soul fragment, which is also the last soul fragment he needs.
As the soul aura surrounding the jade pendant gradually dissipated, Xiao Mu finally heard the system's prompt sound.
[One thousand soul fragments have been gathered, and the Soul Palace system is officially activated]
[System Activation Reward 1: Soul Palace Alchemy]
[System Activation Reward 2: Martial Soul Void Devouring Flame]
[System Activation Reward 3: Number of Strong Summonings x 1]
"The system is finally activated." Xiao Mu's eyes were almost filled with tears.
He had been sleeping in the open air for a long time, digging everywhere with great effort, just waiting for this moment.
[Does the host claim the reward now?]
"receive."
The moment Xiao Mu finished speaking, a complete set of alchemy methods emerged in his mind. Not only was the content extremely clear, it even included countless specific details on refining the elixir.
At the same time, a stream of energy also flowed into his body.
He stretched out his hand almost subconsciously, and a deep black flame appeared on his right hand. The space around the black flame was distorted, and light could not even get close.
"Is this the Void Devouring Flame?"
Xiao Mu knew that the Void Devouring Flame in this martial soul form was a far cry from the Void Devouring Flame in its full prime.
But Xiao Mu believed that as his strength grew, the Void Devouring Flame Martial Soul would become more and more powerful and gradually restore its true ability.
"I don't know what level my soul power is now."
After awakening the Void Devouring Flame martial soul, Xiao Mu possessed a power in his body that was different from his soul power, which should be the soul power possessed by the soul masters of the Douluo Continent.
Alchemy and martial spirits have both arrived, and Xiao Mu began to check the reward of summoning the strong.
[Summon the Strong: After using, you can summon a strong person who once existed in Douluo Continent to serve the host. Do you want to summon him immediately?]
Xiao Mu chose to use Summon the Dead immediately.
Powerful soul power gathered in front of Xiao Mu, and in the soul power, a figure gradually became clear from blurry.
"Divine Axe Douluo Zhan Kaishan pays homage to the master."
"Divine Axe Douluo?"
In today's Douluo Continent, Titled Douluo are basically concentrated in the Spirit Hall and the three upper sects. There are very few Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo who do not belong to these four forces.
Xiao Mu asked, "Your title is Divine Axe, so your martial spirit should be an axe-shaped weapon martial spirit, right? What's the level of your soul power?"
Zhan Kaishan replied respectfully, "My martial spirit is the Divine Axe of the Mountain, and its spirit power is level ninety-seven."
A ninety-seventh-level Super Douluo, there are only a few soul masters in the entire Douluo Continent whose soul power level is higher than his.
"By the way, can you tell what level my soul power is now?"
"Master, please stretch out your hand."
Xiao Mu stretched out his right hand, and Zhan Kaishan lightly touched Xiao Mu's arm before retracting it.
"Master, your soul power is level 20."
"Level 20?"
Xiao Mu's soul power comes from the awakening of the Void Devouring Flame martial soul. This level 20 soul power should be his innate soul power.
With a level 20 soul power, Xiao Mu can now add two soul rings.
However, Xiao Mu was not too anxious. He had practiced the "Emperor Soul Art". Even if he did not use his martial soul, he still had considerable strength.
"Let's get out of here first."
"Yes, master." Zhan Kaishan said.
"From now on, you can just call me Palace Master. You are the first Celestial Lord of my Soul Palace."
Since the Soul Palace system has been awakened, Xiao Mu is naturally the master of the Soul Palace. I wonder when he can gather all ten Heavenly Lords.
"Your subordinate greets the Palace Master." Zhan Kaishan performed another subordinate's salute.
"Well, there's no need to be so polite, Zhan Tianzun."
On the way out of the border mountains, Xiao Mu began to check the system's follow-up tasks.
Similar to what Xiao Mu guessed, the main task of the Soul Palace system is to establish the Soul Palace in Douluo Continent and carry forward the Soul Palace.
In addition to the main quests, the system will also release some side quests.
You can get rewards by completing the main tasks and side tasks in each stage.
The system has not yet triggered the targeted tasks, only the main tasks of the first stage.
[Main Mission 1: Officially establish the Soul Hall on Douluo Continent, recruit at least one member above the Soul Douluo realm, and achieve a Soul Hall reputation value of 10,000 points.]
