Chapter 933 Second Trial: Test of the Soul! (3)

In the blink of an eye, the entire ruined city had been fully enveloped by Shun Long's soul sense, spreading outwards like an inescapable net. A moment later, Shun Long could clearly 'see' every nook and cranny of all the buildings around him, as if these buildings were directly inside his mind. Even those collapsed houses that had long since turned to dust and debris appeared in his vision, with everything they were hiding underneath them.

Surprisingly, there were no skeletons or dead bodies anywhere within the ancient city... let alone any living humans. The eerie silence and the scene of desolation that made the nearby borough look so forlorn was precisely due to the absence of any humans! With no one to take care of the buildings and prevent them from eroding any further or no soldiers to man the city walls, it was only a matter of time for any city, regardless of how magnificent it may have been, to fall.

However, what drew Shun Long's attention wasn't the lack of any signs of life within the ruined city nor the absence of dead bodies. Instead, it was what was hidden under all the rubble. Without any hesitation, his figure turned into a blur, his azure robes fluttering in the wind, as he quickly appeared on top of a collapsed house just a few hundred meters away from the city gates.

With a light sweep of his hand, he used his qi to drag away the debris of the collapsed house, revealing the treasure that was hidden underneath it. A small piece of iron, no more than a handful in size was buried under all the rubble, completely covered by dirt and dust. And yet, even all that dirt couldn't fully conceal the iron's brilliance. With just a glance, anyone could tell that the small iron was a rare piece of treasure, and most likely a very high-grade one at that!

And indeed, as Shun Long's gaze landed on the small, fist-sized iron, his eyes lit up before he bent down to grab it with both hands. Sensing how heavy this small piece of iron was, Shun Long nodded in satisfaction before he muttered to himself Nôv(el)B\\jnn

''Indeed, this is really a piece of Heavenly Iron.''

After examining the small piece in his hands for a few moments Shun Long nodded contentedly and stored it inside the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time', before his figure disappeared from the ruins of the old house, moving towards another collapsed building of the ancient city.

In fact, even Sovereign realm experts couldn't fully utilize a piece of 'Soulless stone'. That was why, only formation masters above the Sovereign realm, those at the legendary 'Earth Immortal' realm and above, were qualified to handle such a rare piece of treasure!

Unfortunately, after scanning through the entire ruined city with his soul sense, Shun Long was unable to find a second piece of 'Soulless stone', or even anything else remotely similar in value!

Still, the treasures he had found on the second floor had left him more than satisfied at this point.

After organizing everything inside the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time', Shun Long took a seat on top of the decayed, derelict city gates and waited, while more and more soul attacks continued to bombard his spiritual sea.

Finally, a day later, the rate of soul attacks slowed down before they gradually stopped, bringing back peace and stillness in the ancient city. The distant rumbling and quaking had already stopped long ago, making the ruined city feel like a ghost city once again.

Knowing the scene that was about to follow, Shun Long took one last look at the ancient city in front of him and closed his eyes, before the feeling of spatial fluctuations enveloped his body once more.

His surroundings quickly began to change again, before he found himself standing at the heart of a familiar, vast white hall!

However, this time Shun Long quickly noticed a difference inside the white hall, causing his relaxed expression to soon turn into a frown.
