Chapter 500: Chapter 372: The Seven Sacred Sites of the Soul Hall, the Wind Binding Domain (Part 2)
The Wind-binding Sanctuary
Chu Mu had always been pondering where exactly these seven Holy Regions controlled by the Soul Hall were located. If they were home to countless soul pets, then the Holy Regions should be resource-rich and vast areas. Why had they never been known to others before?
As Chu Mu stepped into the gate of the Holy Region, all his doubts were answered!
Because the Holy Region is a unique world completely independent of the Mortal World!
Standing in front of the gateway to the Holy Region, the shock in Chu Mu’s heart was beyond words. He never would have thought that the seven Holy Regions under the control of the deepest part of the Soul Hall were a completely independent world, not within any piece of land in World City, nor in any mysterious area of the Mortal World, but atop the Holy Altar heavily guarded within the inner parts of the Soul Hall!
In the very center of the Soul Hall Inner Hall, a pure silver Holy Altar stood tall. Chu Mu stood at the very bottom of the Altar, yet he couldn’t take in the entirety of the Altar at a single glance.
There were countless steps on the Altar, each tier carved with various ancient and mysterious patterns. The magical inscriptions seemed to tell every person who had walked on these steps throughout history the extensive past of the Holy Altar.
“This is the sanctuary of the Wind-binding Hall. Above the Holy Altar is the gate to the Wind-binding Sanctuary. There are seven such altars within the Soul Hall, each under tight protection, with no outsiders allowed to set foot in.” Knowing that Chu Mu had never been here, Ting Lan deliberately explained.
Chu Mu looked up at this towering silver altar, not knowing why, when he saw this miraculous scene, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
This seemed like a very distant memory, like a place he had visited countless times in his dreams, enveloping Chu Mu with certain emotions amidst his astonishment.
“Have I been here before? I shouldn’t have, but why do I have this feeling, why…” Chu Mu kept questioning himself.
“Chu Chen, what’s wrong?” Ting Lan noticed Chu Mu’s strange look and asked in puzzlement.
“I feel like I have been here before.” Chu Mu spoke.
“That’s not likely, you’ve just obtained the level-seven t.i.tle. Before obtaining the level-seven t.i.tle, n.o.body has the privilege to enter here unless…” Ting Lan said.
“Only the Hall Lord has the power to bring whoever they want in.” Li Hen added.
As the Hall Lord was mentioned, Chu Mu immediately thought of his own mother. Suddenly, a wave of painful memory surged into Chu Mu’s mind. During the past years, he had been trying to forget these memories, but the moment he stepped into the Holy Region, all the scenes returned to his mind.
“It’s here! It’s here!! It must be here!!” Chu Mu remembered. He knew why he felt a sense of deja vu, and also why he was enveloped by a strange feeling so intense that even he was struggling to control it!
“Young Master Chu?” Li Hen stood next to Chu Mu, looking somewhat strangely at the excited Chu Mu. Almost every Soul Pet Master who steps into this holy region becomes incredibly excited, especially the younger generation. But Li Hen could feel that there was an even more complicated emotion within this young man before him, making this normally cold man seem somewhat uncontrollable!
Chu Mu’s emotions indeed reached an uncontrollable degree!!
For so many years, Chu Mu had almost completely forgotten this part of his memory, even gradually sealing his First and Second Soul Contracts away within his spirit.
But today, ten years later, setting foot on this path again, witnessing the grandeur of this Holy Region once more…
It was here!! Ten years ago, he had been here!!
Sternly guarded, awe-inspiringly majestic, the supreme Holy Altar stood in the very center of the huge palace, like a stern kingdom in a dream!
And ten years ago, it was here where he signed his First Soul Contract!!!
Finally, Chu Mu remembered everything!
Ten years ago, having reached the rank of Four Thoughts Soul Disciple, he was led by Liu Binglan into the Holy Region. It was in this dreamlike place, that Chu Mu met a humanoid soul pet who was like a fairy, possessing an irresistible perfect body and a breathtakingly beautiful face unbefitting of the Mortal World, yet she had an extremely wicked heart!
She deceived him, she didn’t honor the agreement she made prior to signing the soul contract!!
She made him suffer humiliations for so many years, she nearly destroyed his faith in soul pets!
Even up to now, she still dominated his first spirit soul, rendering him unable to use his First Soul Summoning right from the start!
Chu Mu’s body was shaking slightly. He had waited for this day for too long. At last, he converged here again, found the place where he once signed the soul contract with that girl, which meant getting closer to finding that defected girl!
“Chu Chen, are you okay?” Ting Lan gently asked, looking at Chu Mu.
Chu Mu didn’t disguise anything. At this moment, his chest was aflame because he had found a tiny clue about the first soul contract girl. As long as he followed this clue, he would surely find her, and his first soul would no longer be constrained!!
“Didn’t you just say there are seven such holy lands? Is there also one full of a sea of flowers?” Chu Mu excitedly asked, grabbing Ting Lan’s weak shoulders.
“I…I don’t know.” Ting Lan said somewhat startled and shyly, hastily wrestling free from Chu Mu’s large hand.
“Young Master Chu, please first stabilize your emotions.” Li Hen hurriedly supported Chu Mu and said to him.
Seeing the faint blush and annoyance on Ting Lan’s face, Chu Mu realized that he was indeed overly excited. He quickly took a deep breath to control his emotions.
When Li Hen saw that Chu Mu had slowly calmed down, he started speaking: “There are seven Holy Altars, with the Wan Mo Beast being the most majestic, followed by the Di Sheng Flower. The sea of flowers you’re referring to should be the Di Sheng Domain. It’s inhabited by various kinds of Plant Spirit Beasts. Among them, the Di Sheng Flower is the Holy Pet of our Soul Hall. It’s difficult to find, and even more difficult to obtain…”
“Di Sheng Flower!! Yes, it’s the Di Sheng Flower!!” Chu Mu’s heart surged again!
The place Liu Binglan originally brought him into was the Di Sheng Domain, where the defecting girl was born from the flowers!
The Di Sheng Domain, it must be in the Di Sheng Domain!! Chu Mu was now absolutely certain that the Di Sheng Domain was the place where he signed his First Soul Contract!
Ting Lan and Li Hen looked at each other, unsure of why Chu Mu was unable to control himself.
In the end, Ting Lan spoke in a strange tone: “To enter the Di Sheng Domain, you need at least a Level Nine t.i.tle and must meet numerous conditions. How could you have possibly been there before?”
“Young Master Chu, I’ve only entered the Di Sheng Domain once. Beyond the various restrictions of the Di Sheng Domain, the powerful Plant Spirit Beasts residing there deter countless experts from venturing inside.” Li Hen said.
“You’ve only been in once?” Chu Mu was stunned. In his opinion, Li Hen was already very strong. So if someone as strong as him had only entered once…
Li Hen gave a bitter smile and said, “Those who reach a Level 9 t.i.tle have a chance to enter any one of the six Holy Regions once. After that, they must make a certain contribution to enter. Back then, I ambitiously set foot into the Di Sheng Domain, hoping to meet the Di Sheng Flower that captivates numerous Soul Pet Masters. I’m not afraid of being laughed at. I was so embarra.s.sed I couldn’t even pa.s.s through the periphery of the Di Sheng Domain. I came back empty-handed…”
Li Hen’s words surprised both Chu Mu and Ting Lan. The fact that an expert like Li Hen could not even get past the periphery of the Di Sheng Domain made them realize how powerful the Soul Pets hidden in the Di Sheng Domain must be!!
Chu Mu’s heart sank. You need a level nine t.i.tle to step into the Di Sheng Domain of the Soul Hall. The gap from a level seven t.i.tle to a level eight is already significant. And to reach a level nine, there’s still a long, hard road of cultivation ahead…
“Young master, I can understand your present feelings, but it’s true that you can’t just casually enter the Di Sheng Domain. I suggest you first enter this Wind-binding Sanctuary, because it’s not an easy place to get into either, or else this beauty wouldn’t have asked Li Hen to accompany her.” The voice of the Fox Elder slowly came.
Chu Mu was still unable to calm down. He stood there, his deep eyes constantly changing emotions.
After a while, Chu Mu finally clenched his fists!
It’s all a matter of strength. As long as you’re strong enough, you can step into the Di Sheng Domain and find clues about the defecting girl!
Chu Mu now knew what he needed to do!!
“Young Master Chu? Is there something here you can’t let go of?” Seeing Chu Mu gradually calming down, Li Hen asked.
Chu Mu shook his head and said, “Let’s enter the Holy Domain.”
Ting Lan also looked at Chu Mu curiously, but seeing that Chu Mu didn’t say anything, she finally took a step towards the Holy Altar.
Every few steps, two Soul Hall Holy Guards stood like statues. In fact, within a hundred meters outside of this Holy Temple, the security is strict; without permission, no one can set foot here!
“Young Master Chu, you just reached the seventh level t.i.tle and have one official opportunity to enter the Holy Domain, but don’t waste it on this time. Enter as an accompaniment, and when you feel strong enough to enter here again, the chances of capturing a new Soul Pet will be higher.” Li Hen reminded Chu Mu.
Chu Mu nodded. He was going into the Wind-binding Sanctuary with a spectator’s att.i.tude this time. After all, before understanding the various powers and attributes of Wind Spirit, Chu Mu didn’t want to rashly consider the Wind Spirit as his Wind Soul Pet.
