Chapter 207: Tempering the Soul! Breaking the Spirit Barrier in One Move!
In the room, Xiao Ze slightly closed his eyes. As he practiced the Xuan Qing Soul Technique, a fine spiritual energy began to seep into the space around him.
"This Xuan Qing Soul Technique is truly extraordinary. Even the spiritual energy that is normally difficult to grasp by common warriors can be absorbed with ease," murmured Xiao Ze.
"Now, the spiritual energy in my soul has grown considerably. I just need an opportunity to break the Spirit barrier," he thought as he opened his eyes, which glowed intensely for a moment, manifesting the strength of his soul.
After a blink, he returned to his usual appearance and opened the door of the room. Outside, there was already a lot of activity.
Today was the day of the Demon Sound Temple. Because Sound Valley had not invited outsiders, the participants were only Sound Valley disciples and representatives of allied forces.
The Demon Sound Temple is a significant event in Sound Valley, and only the disciples selected after rigorous tests can participate. For most Sound Valley disciples, this event has no direct relevance, but there are always curious people who gather to observe.
Xiao Ze followed Elder Liu Tian to the valley where the Demon Sound Temple would take place, in a middle area of Tianyin Mountain. Besides Dan Ta disciples, there were other forces, including members of magical beast families.
"It seems this is a rare opportunity for exchange between Sound Valley and other important forces," commented some disciples, admiring the presence of elite teams.
"How many will manage to overcome the Demon Sound Temple this year?" they wondered.
"Even our selected disciples have a thirty percent failure rate in each Demon Sound Temple," said one.
"That's right, and external participants have even lower chances of success. I remember last time they only achieved a forty percent success rate," added another.
Intrigued by these conversations, Xiao Ze asked Elder Liu Tian, "Is the success rate of the Demon Sound Temple really that low?"
"Of course, if it weren't, do you think Sound Valley would offer so many places to external forces?" Elder Liu Tian laughed. "The Demon Sound Temple is actually an ancient land where magical beasts lived that mastered the demonic sound technique to confuse people. Over time, this place transformed, acquiring various unique properties."
"The unique properties of the demonic sound are now even more powerful than before. There was once a time when all Dan Ta disciples were eliminated, but Sound Valley guarantees the safety of the participants," explained Elder Liu Tian.
As Xiao Ze pondered this, the master of Sound Valley, Yin Hao, appeared. Dressed in a silver robe, his presence was imposing and solemn. Yin Hao, with a robust figure, was accompanied by the vice master of the valley, who seemed even smaller beside him.
"Thank you all for coming to Sound Valley to participate in this Demon Sound Temple. I hope you all find what you seek," Yin Hao announced with a powerful voice.
"The Demon Sound Temple begins now!" he proclaimed, throwing silver stones to the participants.
"If at any time you can't withstand the demonic sound, break the stone immediately to exit the cave and avoid harm," he warned.
Xiao Ze took one of the silver stones, feeling a slight spatial vibration, and stored it. Then, along with the Dan Ta disciples, he headed to the entrance of the demonic sound cave.
The cave was dark, in contrast to the silver walls of the valley. Looking inside, small spiritual lights seemed like stars in a night sky.
Upon entering, Xiao Ze felt a strange and disturbing sound resonate in his ears, but he ignored it and continued forward.
"It seems the entrance transports participants to different places randomly," observed Xiao Ze, noticing the absence of the Dan Ta disciples around him.
"To overcome the Demon Sound Temple, one must either exit the cave or stay inside for a full month, enduring the influence of the demonic sound," he recalled while walking through the cave, looking for a place with the highest intensity of demonic sound.
After several days of exploration, he found a spot where the intensity of the demonic sound was overwhelming, even slightly vibrating his combat energy.
"With my current strength, the demonic sound has no effect. This place is ideal," he told himself, sitting down to begin his spiritual advance.
As the Xuan Qing Soul Technique operated, Xiao Ze absorbed the spiritual energy contained in the demonic sound. Over time, his spiritual strength grew, until a wave of energy expanded from his body.
An invisible spiritual light pierced the cave and extended toward the sky, followed by a powerful spiritual energy that overflowed like a tide, reaching everyone outside.
The disciples of Sound Valley and others present felt the pressure of the soul, with some turning pale from its intensity.
"Xiao Ze really did it!" exclaimed Elder Liu Tian, recognizing the source of the spiritual energy.
"A truly remarkable young man!" he added with an admiring smile.
