Mission: Seduce the Master!

"Soul Integration..." Xie Qing furrowed his brow, recalling what he had been taught: "A Nascent Soul cultivates the soul and expands it in size. However, eventually, it becomes so large that the cultivator\'s body cannot contain it..."

This was where Soul Integration was necessary. Cleansing and merging with the body. Although it sounded simple, like adding 2 + 2, in reality, it was extremely difficult.

Cleansing the soul? This required extremely rare resources and effort. If the cultivation technique was not good enough, then even with resources, it would all be for naught!

Moreover, there was also the task of integrating one\'s soul with their physical body, nourishing it! This was also extremely difficult!

Xie Qing sighed. His path was full of hardships. However, who could have thought that under these circumstances, he could turn his misfortune into an opportunity?

"The lightning is part of the trial, but it is so accurately simulated that I can use it to cleanse my soul!" Xie Qing thought with a bright smile.

Rumble... rumble...

"Now!"

The young man focused all his attention and began to chant the mantra from his cultivation technique. And at the moment when the lightning struck, he intentionally weakened the protection of his soul.

"Aaaaagh!"

Boom!

The lightning struck his soul directly, causing him to suffer hundreds, if not thousands, of times the pain. However, gritting his teeth, he resisted the negative effects and used the method from his cultivation technique to cleanse his soul.

Rumble! Rumble!

The lightning continued to strike his soul, causing him several serious injuries. However, even in the face of such danger, he did not give up. Was it bravery or madness? No one knew the answer to this question.

***

Xu Mei was guarding the barrier on the Southern Continent when she suddenly sensed something from the depths of her soul...

"This... is my Xie Qing!"

Her eyes turned red with blood. Like any other cultivator who cared for their disciples, she had left a mark on his soul that would allow her to know if anyone tried to affect his soul.

And now, this mark had been destroyed! This meant that he had encountered an enemy so powerful that even her mark could not withstand it.

"Son of a bitch! I\'ll kill you!"

Her eyes flashed with anger. The mark had a function to transmit information about the location, and after its destruction, it even provided more accurate information.

So, without hesitation, she set off in the direction of the mark\'s signal.

***

The Deities King looked indifferently at the mark that had flown out of Xie Qing\'s body.

"Interesting, does this boy even know what he\'s doing? Trying to cultivate his soul with Heavenly Lightning... oh... even in ancient times, few dared to do so..."

The Deities King\'s semi-transparent body looked extremely realistic. He had changed his size to fit better in this narrow space, where many formations imitated an ancient battle.

"However, this boy knows how to surprise. I think that even in ancient times, he would have been considered a genius on par with that person... what was his name? Ugh, I don\'t even remember... so much time has passed..."

The Deities King shook his head indifferently. He was only a remnant of a soul, without any emotions or hopes. He had only one mission.

"If you can pass this trial... heh... I think the Heavenly Emperor won\'t be happy about the second coming of the Executioner..."

***

The lightning grew weaker and weaker until it finally stopped. The sky cleared, and the battlefield was illuminated by the light, revealing countless corpses.

Xie Qing opened his eyes, which now had a golden spark in them. His entire body was in pain, and his soul was covered in light wounds... but a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"First stage of Soul Integration... Yes, baby!" Xie Qing stood up and cracked his neck: "I think I\'ve passed the trial, right?"

And as if in answer to his question, the space around him began to crack. Xie Qing looked around and saw that in the countless cracks, an eye filled with blood and a golden pupil appeared.

"The Heavens... see the fate... the Deities Clan... and the Dragon Clan... how amusing..."

The voice was full of hostility, coldness, and anger. The countless eyes looked at Xie Qing, creating immense pressure.

"I don\'t see your fate... this... is amusing... and... interesting..."

Dingling!

[User is in an anomalous state...]

Dingling!

[Advice: Leave immediately]

Dingling!

[I can\'t... leave...]

Dingling!

Dingling!

Dingling!

Dingling!

Dingling!

Dingling!

Dingling!

...

Xie Qing looked around in shock. This was not just terrifying, it was fucking terrifying!

"What the fuck is this...?" he asked himself with a bewildered expression.

However, in the next second, he felt something trying to invade his soul. He darkened.

"My soul... you\'re trying to take control of it?! Pfft!"

Xie Qing snorted coldly, and a vortex of energy burst from his body, destroying the hidden attacks that were trying to take control of him.

"Good... good... not bad..." the ominous voice continued, and the hidden attacks ceased: "You\'ve passed... you... are ready... but...

hehe... the Heavens see the fate... the wheel... is turning... again!"

"What fucking wheel? It\'s your fucking brain wheel spinning the wrong way, you stupid fucking son of a bitch!" Xie Qing wanted to say, but he restrained himself.

"Ha... ha... ha... it seems... the time... has come..."

Whoosh!

An immense pressure descended on Xie Qing\'s shoulders, and he barely managed to keep from falling to the ground.

However, this pressure disappeared at the moment when all the eyes closed, and Xie Qing lost consciousness.

***

"The Forgotten Evil... ha, it seems that this ancient being has also awakened... this can only mean one thing... sigh!" The Deities King sighed.

***

Dingling!

[The Trial of the Deities has been passed... calculating available rewards...]

Dingling!

[Error! User level is too low to accept all rewards... calculating available rewards...]

Dingling!

[Golden Dragon Flame]

Dingling!

[The remaining rewards will be placed in the user\'s soul and will be opened as they ascend to immortality!]

Dingling!

Dingling!

Ding...

"Shut up for a second!"

Xie Qing furrowed his brow. He stood up abruptly from the stone floor, rubbing his head, which was hurting like hell.

"Fuck, I had a good sleep!" Xie Qing muttered and sighed, rubbing his head.

He looked around. The young man was in a small wooden house that looked old and dilapidated. It seemed that one careless step and he could destroy everything here.

"Strange. I don\'t remember anything... it seems that Lyu Lyu and I were trying to find the entrance to a secret place... but we couldn\'t..."

He sighed. There was no one nearby, so the young man decided to go outside.

"Oh!"

There he saw a familiar back. Lyu Lyu was standing on a small hill and was looking around with curiosity.

"Liu Yang!" Xie Qing shouted to her.

Using Expert Control, he was able to cross the distance between them in a fraction of a second. Although this consumed a lot of Qi.

"Xie Qing! You\'re awake..." Lyu Lyu turned around with a gentle smile and hugged the young man. And then with concern, she said: "You were unconscious. When I returned, I couldn\'t find the entrance, but I found you unconscious. What happened?"

"Huh? No, nothing... and, by the way, it seems that I\'ve stopped sensing the treasure!" Xie Qing muttered, furrowing his brow.

"Maybe it\'s for the better. This place is too dangerous..."

The young man nodded. But he still felt that something was wrong, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn\'t come up with any ideas.

And at the moment when he was about to take out his carriage, he suddenly felt a familiar aura.

"This is... Master?"

Xie Qing smiled happily and opened his arms, ignoring Lyu Lyu\'s puzzled look.

And in the next second...

Whoosh!

BOOM!

A powerful blow shook the mountain. However, Xie Qing casually hugged the beautiful woman with black hair and blue eyes in his arms, ignoring the slight tremor in his internal organs.

Lyu Lyu looked in shock at the woman in Xie Qing\'s arms. This woman... first of all, who was she and secondly... why was she so strong?!

***

The Deities King looked indifferently at everything around him. His gaze seemed devoid of any emotions.

Whoosh...

Suddenly, a cold wind rose. The Deities King turned his gaze away from the wall, where the histories of the Deities were engraved.

"The Deities Clan, you have long since perished, so why are you trying to cause trouble? Your efforts are nothing but a joke to us, the great beings..." a cold voice sounded, full of pride and arrogance.

The Deities King looked at the ghostly figure standing proudly with a spear in his hand and smiled eerily.

"Heavenly Emperor. You feel it, don\'t you? The wheel of fate is turning again... and all those you feared have returned!" The Deities King laughed loudly, not paying attention to the piercing gaze of the Heavenly Emperor: "I know that you are trying to find him, but who do you think you are dealing with?"

After these words, the Deities King\'s face became stern and evil. He looked at the Heavenly Emperor and snorted coldly.

"As long as this king covers the boy, you will never find him within the mortal world! So, your task is to wait like a pig on a cutting board until the Executioner\'s sword severs your neck!"

"The Executioner..."

The Heavenly Emperor\'s voice was surprisingly emotional as he recalled the man. He was the worst nightmare for the immortals and posed too great a danger to the Heavenly Emperor.

So great that even he, with his techniques, could not kill the Executioner.

"Hm..."
