Even though Shen Jiuyou had lived for close to a thousand years, the moment Ye Hao's divine soul appeared, his heart was still in turmoil. His expression was stunned, and he was unable to calm down for a long time.

"This kid …" What exactly is this freak?! " After a long while, Shen Jiuyou's face finally twitched, his shocked voice filled with disbelief.

He was the creator of the Nine Nether Thunder Soul Tempering Technique and knew better than anyone in the world how difficult it was to cultivate it.

According to Shen Jiuyou's initial estimates, although Ye Haotian's talent was not bad, if he wanted to transform his mind into his soul, Ye Hao would need at least two months or so.

After all, although the Lightning Seed had been refined by him and its power wasn't as terrifying as the most primitive seed, with the mind of a Body Tempering realm cultivator, even if he cultivated for the first time, no matter how talented he was, he would probably only be able to endure thirty or so times before reaching his limit.

But now, in just half a day, Ye Hao had endured 276 times and transformed his mind into his soul. This was simply going against Shen Jiuyou's imagination.

He knew very well that although the lightning that Ye Hao had attracted could not be considered the real power of the Dark Thunder, it was not something that a spirit that could withstand too much.

"276 times. It seems that this little guy's soul is not simple at all …" Shen Jiuyou's sword-like eyebrows creased, his deep eyes revealing a contemplative look.

"Uncle Shen, it's done!" This cultivation technique is not as difficult as you said it was. " At this time, Ye Hao had already entered the gray bead space again. He looked at his current condition with a strange look. His delicate and pretty face was filled with joy and a trace of arrogance.

He could feel that after his mind transformed into his soul, his senses and reaction had far surpassed before. This feeling of clarity was something that he had never experienced before. Even with Ye Hao's mental fortitude, he could not help but feel a little elated.

Shen Jiuyou, on the other hand, was at a loss for words. He wanted to give a few words of advice, but when he thought about how the youth had only taken half a day to transform his state of mind into his consciousness, he could not help but bitterly smile and shake his head.

Ye Hao's abnormally fast cultivation speed was too much of an impact.

"Kid, the attack you received did not even reach a thousandth of the power of the Nether Thunder, what do you have to be proud of? In the path of cultivation, the most taboo is to be arrogant and impetuous. Your path … It's still growing. " Shen Jiuyou displayed the airs of a grandmaster as he looked disdainfully at Ye Hao. As for his vision, it was carefully assessing the young man's newly evolved consciousness. Deep in his eyes, a deep sense of confusion surfaced.

From his point of view, Ye Hao's soul form was just like other people's when they had just evolved. It was extremely illusory and weak, with nothing special about it.

"What a strange boy."

Shen Jiuyou couldn't figure out why Ye Hao was able to withstand such a large amount of lightning for the first time. It was truly against common sense.

"Hehe, so it's not even one in ten thousand yet." Ye Hao laughed foolishly, but he wasn't discouraged.

Although he couldn't even get close to the [Dark Thunder Seal] now, he believed that one day, he would be able to withstand the power of the [Dark Thunder] 's tempering.

With that said, Ye Hao gradually suppressed his joy. His spirit floated to Shen Jiuyou's side, looked at the black cloud chains binding his four limbs, and said: "Uncle Shen, try again."

Shen Jiuyou nodded his head, feeling somewhat apprehensive in his heart. If even Ye Hao's soul transformation could not remove the shackle, then his last hope of survival would be completely severed.

Fortunately, after holding one of the chains in Ye Hao's hand, although his soul was still trembling in pain, he was not blown away.

He used his mind to connect with the vast Spiritual Array. A few breaths later, the black cloud chain wrapped around Shen Jiuyou's arm suddenly shattered as if it had consciousness. It turned into gray fog and entered the black cloud barrier behind him, completely disappearing.

"Done!" Seeing one of the chains disappear, Ye Hao's expression was filled with joy. Looking at the majestic black cloud barrier in front of him, his heart couldn't help but fall into a trance.

He hadn't thought that his own consciousness would actually be able to communicate with this terrifying Spiritual Array.

Shen Jiuyou, on the other hand, had a look of delight on his face as he asked, "Kid, have you discovered anything after communicating with this Spiritual Array?"

Hearing that, Ye Hao frowned and shook his head: "I don't have any special feelings, or maybe …. I'm not even sure if it's because of me. "

This spirit array that connected the sky and the earth, and was so large, it was hard to imagine, was beyond Ye Hao's knowledge.

Previously, when he held the black cloud chain, he only had the thought of letting it scatter. Although the chain did scatter in the end, he did not receive any feedback from the Spiritual Array and could not even sense its existence.

"Forget it, let's ignore it for now." Shen Jiuyou sighed, urgently reaching out the other chain in front of Ye Hao. He had been trapped here for too long, so he had hope of escaping. He did not want to stay here for even a second longer.

Very quickly, Ye Hao removed the last chain for him. Shen Jiuyou's figure moved like lightning, he rushed out far away quickly, turned around and looked at the vast and magnificent black cloud screen, and angrily scolded: "You f * cker, you dare to suck Master Shen again?! In just a few months, you have already absorbed seventy percent of Master Shen's soul power.

The black cloud barrier seemed to have understood Shen Jiuyou's curses and began to surge.

"F * ck!" Shen Jiuyou's expression changed, he immediately shut his mouth, his body transforming into a beam of light, rushing into the distance.

Looking at the direction of the former's disappearance, Ye Hao couldn't help but feel speechless. This lucky master of his was really something … Weird.

Shaking his head, he took a deep look at the black cloud barrier and then quickly left.

After a long while, Ye Hao finally arrived at an open area. He saw a furious Shen Jiuyou, who was muttering curses. It was obvious that the black cloud barrier had given him a huge shadow.

Seeing Ye Hao, he seemed to have found a target to vent his anger on. He said with a face full of anger: "Master Shen has lived for so long, but I have never seen such an evil spirit array. I really don't know which wicked bastard has set it up here."

Ye Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Shen, don't provoke it."

"Brat, you really don't have a goal." Shen Jiuyou rolled his eyes and lectured, "Such a rare and powerful Spiritual Array is the highest goal of Spiritual Array Masters of my generation. Naturally, I have to thoroughly study it."

"Alright, I won't waste any more words with you. Master Shen's soul power was consumed too much. You need to properly rest for a period of time." Shen Jiu You sat down cross legged and with a flick of his right finger, two streams of light shot out and entered between Ye Hao's eyebrows.

"When your soul is in the initial stages of condensing, Master Shen will pass on two array diagrams to you. As long as you can successfully arrange one of the array formations, you will be able to fight even against a Sea of Destiny Realm cultivator, much less Ye Tianlin."

Checking the two mysterious spirit diagrams in his mind, Ye Hao's expression was fiery hot. He nodded to Shen Jiu You who had closed his eyes and went silent, then left the space.

"..."

The next day, early in the morning.

The sun was shining and a breeze was blowing.

After Ye Hao informed Qingwu, he stood in the yard and looked in the direction of the Black Abyss Mountain Range with a solemn expression.

The time for Tianxuan Academy to recruit students was getting closer and closer. He had to make himself as strong as possible in the remaining time until he could contend with Ye Tianlin.

The current him, although he had just discovered the power of his soul and had already stepped onto the path of a Spiritual Array, after a night of studying, Ye Hao had realized that the two Spiritual Arrays that Shen Jiuyou had imparted him were simply too mysterious and obscure. He still needed to practice continuously if he wanted to successfully arrange them.

Of course, on the basis of cultivating the Spiritual Array, he also had to go to the Black Abyss Mountain Range to train himself. He had to try to refine the energy left behind by the drop of blood essence in his body.

If he could succeed on either path then he was confident that he could win the placings from Ye Tianlin four months later.

After making up his mind, Ye Hao didn't waste any more time. He let out a sigh and walked out of the yard.

On the martial stage, groups of Ye family youths were gathered together, chatting and laughing. When they saw Ye Hao appear, everyone quieted down. Their eyes were filled with respect as they looked at Ye Hao.

As for the clansmen who used to mock the most, they shrunk their necks back in embarrassment, not daring to look the former in the eye.

Right now, Ye Hao had not only fully recovered his strength, but he had also successfully entered the Martial Hall. His strength and status far surpassed theirs.

"Leaves..." "Ye Hao, good morning." In the end, a pretty young girl had a bright and warm expression on her face as she answered with a smile.

"Right." Ye Hao responded indifferently. He didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations. He didn't even look back as he walked towards the Ye Family's gate.

However, after four years of silence, Ye Hao had already seen through too many people's feelings. He knew that at this moment, if his realm was still low, he would definitely be met with a wave of mocking and ridicule.

Towards this kind of fake feelings and incomparably realistic relationships, he really didn't want to waste time on it.

Seeing Ye Hao's indifferent response until he disappeared from the main gate, that young girl's smiling face turned extremely awkward. Immediately, a hint of regret surfaced on her face. Everyone present also sighed lightly with a complicated expression.

Who would have thought that the heaven's pride level expert of the Ye family, who had fallen to the altar years ago, would one day rise again.

At this moment, at a corner of the martial arts practice field, a youth with a dark expression, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, stared at the direction Ye Hao left with a mocking expression. He sneered: "Hiding for two months, have you finally come out?"

"Let's go, we have to cripple him as soon as possible so that we can report to Young Master Lin." Beside him, Ye Hui turned his neck. His eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light and his body disappeared from where he stood.

"..."

Outside the city, on the main road leading to the Black Abyss Mountain Range, crowds of people flowed in and out of the city in groups of five or three.

This scene caused Ye Hao, who had just stepped out of the city gate, to be slightly startled.

One had to know that the Black Abyss Mountain Range was extremely dangerous, with killing intent everywhere. Although there were cultivators who entered the mountain to hunt demon beasts in exchange for cultivation resources in the past, there had never been such a lively scene.

With some doubts, Ye Hao walked in the crowd and spread out his soul consciousness. Soon, whispers and comments were clearly heard and heard by him.

It turned out that ever since the eruption of the black mist, the demonic beasts in the mountain range had for some reason become even more ferocious than before. Sometimes, they would even form a beast tide and charge out of the mountain range to devour cultivators.

After that, it appeared in the outskirts of the Black Abyss Mountain Range in an extremely abnormal manner. It was even rumored that there was a Rogue Cultivator in the outskirts of the Black Abyss Mountain Range who had obtained an incomparably rare Grade 3 Elixir.

In an instant, many spiritual medicines and the iron ores that were essential to forging spiritual tools appeared in the outer region of the Black Yuan Mountain Range.

It was also because of this that quite a number of Black Lake City's cultivators were sent to enter the mountain range in groups of three to five people in search of an opportunity.

"How strange." After figuring out the reason, Ye Hao couldn't help but frown. He recalled the demonic, strange, and black fog, as well as the grade three elixir that grew in the ghost fog.

"Hmm? It's those two guys? "

As he spread out his soul consciousness, Ye Hao suddenly felt that not far behind him, there were two black robed figures following him at a leisurely pace.
