Boom!

Lin Yi felt his mind go blank.

He knew the old emperor before him was impressive.

But he never imagined he was this impressive.

Emperor Haotian!

[Ding! You've acquired a new ability: Martial Soul!]

[Martial Soul interface unlocked, please check it out yourself!]

Lin Yi opened his personal interface, and as expected, next to the skills, he saw the newly unlocked Martial Soul interface.

[Current Martial Soul Resonance Status: Unactivated]

[Current Martial Soul Amplification Attributes: None]

[Current Martial Soul Soul Skills: None]

"Now that you know the reason behind all this, if you wish, this doesn't have to be the end of your journey."

"Later, I will reveal to you the powerful souls of Desolate Gods that I have subdued and suppressed in the tower, never entering the cycle of reincarnation."

"You may choose one among them to become your first Divine Pattern."

Hearing this, Lin Yi felt a surge of joy.

Just as he had guessed.

The so-called Martial Soul and Divine Pattern are one and the same.

Therefore, the saying that a professional can only possess one Martial Soul doesn't hold true.

There must be some reason.

Which has led to the current situation on Blue Star where, at least among the professionals Lin Yi has encountered so far, they only have one Martial Soul.

"I won't tell you which of these Desolate God souls is stronger or weaker or what Divine Powers they possess."

"Everything depends on your fortune and destiny."

"Once you make your choice, if you wish to proceed, I will send you to the 0th level."

"If not, you may leave on your own."

After the remnant soul of Haotian finished speaking, Lin Yi suddenly felt his vision blur.

The next moment, he found himself in a new world.

This place was shrouded in chaos, indistinguishable in direction, with no sense of up, down, left, or right.

Lin Yi could only see multicolored bubbles floating around him.

Within each bubble, a vividly lifelike divine soul was sealed.

"Roar!!"

A soul bubble of an evil beast with wings on its back, tiger-shaped, floated past Lin Yi.

Its roar gave Lin Yi quite a jolt.

So fierce!

As Lin Yi concentrated, his eyebrows arched.

Goodness, it's Qiongqi!

"It's called Qiongqi, are you interested?"

The voice of the old emperor confirmed Lin Yi's guess.

But all he would reveal was the names of the Desolate Gods sealed within these bubbles.

He wouldn't tell Lin Yi what soul skills they had or their various attributes.

But Lin Yi, with the memory of a Transmigrator, undoubtedly had advantages over others who came here.

Lin Yi's gaze swept past Qiongqi to other soul bubbles nearby.

He noticed a soul bubble swath with only a few strands of crimson residual fire flickered before him.

Lin Yi gazed intently at it for a few moments.

"It's called Bi Fang, you're a step too late, taken away by a cat demon centuries ago."

Lin Yi was taken aback.

Then remembered his principal.

Mr. Bi's true form turned out to be a Bifang Bird...

Lin Yi continued forward, his eyes gliding over the soul bubbles.

All of them taken by Haotian, out of the cycle of reincarnation, and placed in this eternal treasure trove were legendary soul cores.

None of them were bad.

Most who can reach this place and choose one to take away could dominate a region.

But Lin Yi knew, even if they were all of the legendary level.

The gaps between them were enormously vast.

Lin Yi ventured deeper, witnessing numerous Martial Souls he had only heard of in legends.

Qiongqi, Taotie, Chaos—the Four Evildoers, Lin Yi saw them all.

Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox, Nine Nether Yama…

Lin Yi grew more astonished with each passing sight.

The old sovereign who sat quietly before the ruined heavenly gate, exactly how powerful he was, and how many powerful souls he had collected over the eons in this world.

The respect Lin Yi felt inside was beyond words.

He could only concentrate, continuing his search for the desired Martial Soul.

Even though he knew there should be ways to acquire more Martial Soul Divine Patterns later, the importance of the first Martial Soul was undoubtedly the highest.

Just like the first battle pet.

Most of them are completely soul-bound to the professional themselves.

Their prosperity is shared, as is their decline.

"Chirp—"

Lin Yi heard two soft dragon roars.

Following the sound, he saw a soul core without its sealed soul float past his ear.

"Candle Dragon, eyes open to day, eyes closed to night."

"You have a keen eye, but unfortunately, it was taken by that Xuanyuan kid centuries ago."

The Xuanyuan kid the old sovereign spoke of.

Lin Yi instantly knew who it was.

The current top power in Xia, as well as on Blue Star.

Lin Yi sighed.

And scratched his head.

He cursed himself for being born centuries too late.

Some of the strong souls in this eternal vault have long been picked by others with as great luck and much better vision than his.

Choosing a desirable one here might be more challenging than he thought.

Upon realizing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a slight sense of loss.

Just then, a soul bubble floated past Lin Yi from the side, the scene within it flashing before him.

When Lin Yi went to look, the soul bubble had already drifted away.

Lin Yi quickly pursued it.

But found that this soul bubble seemed to have a mind of its own, actively evading Lin Yi, even using other soul bubbles to hide behind.

Lin Yi didn't forget the scene he had just caught a glimpse of in that soul bubble.

The more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became.

So, a chase ensued between a man and a soul in this vast space.

In the end, it was only when Lin Yi leapt and caught the soul bubble that it ceased moving.

"This one's been in my treasure trove for not too long, just a thousand years or so."

"At first, every time someone entered, it would actively emerge from the depths of the myriad soul bubbles, take a look, and then hide again."

"It seems to be waiting for someone, and like those who came before, you're not the one it waits for."

"So, are you interested in this Mind Ape I unexpectedly collected?"

Lin Yi gazed deeply at the soul bubble before him.

His entire body trembled slightly.

Inside the multicolored soul bubble, a towering mighty mountain was sealed, its peaks forming the shape of five fingers aligned together.

And beneath the mountain, a monkey head with a hairy face and a thunderbolt mouth emerged.

The monkey head bared its teeth, obviously defiant even when being suppressed.

"It's decided."

"I choose it!"

Lin Yi didn't hesitate anymore and made his decision!

No one could refuse a Great Saint!

Not even one still sealed beneath the Five Finger Mountain!

Lin Yi's final choice left the old emperor, who had been watching the entire time, momentarily stunned.

Then he asked, "Transmigrator, are you sure you want to choose it?"

"It's somewhat unique."

"I'll make an exception and give you a chance to reconsider. Think it over, and if you insist on your choice, then let me know."

Ordinary people, upon hearing the old emperor's words, would likely have given up.

Because on one hand, the combination of the Five Finger Mountain and the monkey head doesn't seem impressive as a Martial Soul.

On the other hand, the old emperor had made it clear.

It was no longer just a hint, but a clear suggestion.

Choosing it would be folly, wouldn't it?

But Lin Yi could only say, not choosing would be folly!
