Chapter 1591: Chapter 19: Forbidden Soul Stone

Lin Feng and Leng Wuxin headed deeper, eventually arriving at the farthest reaches of the space.

"Look, a giant vortex!"

Leng Wuxin pointed ahead.

That vortex vaguely formed a twisted giant gate.

Seeing that vortex, Lin Feng couldn’t help but frown slightly.

He said, "Could it be the passage to the Netherworld?"

Leng Wuxin nodded and said, "It might really be possible!"

Their gaze fell upon the vortex’s surroundings, and eventually Lin Feng’s eyes rested on a stele.

The stele was jet black.

It emanated a chilling aura.

"Forbidden Soul Stone."

Lin Feng was astonished.

He had seen the introduction of Forbidden Soul Stone in a Taoist scripture.

Forbidden Soul Stone is a Mother and Child Stone.

The so-called Mother and Child Stone means it’s divided into Child Stone and Mother Stone.

The Mother Stone can control the Child Stone.

This Forbidden Soul Stone in front of them is surely the Child Stone.

The Mother Stone is likely in the Netherworld.

Forbidden Soul Stone can imprison a cultivator’s soul.

Its appearance here is very strange.

Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Why did Forbidden Soul Stone appear here?

When Leng Wuxin heard "Forbidden Soul Stone" from Lin Feng’s mouth, she was also shocked.

She said, "Is that really Forbidden Soul Stone? I’ve heard about it but it’s the first time I’ve seen it. Forbidden Soul Stone can imprison souls and is itself a treasure of great threat to souls."

Lin Feng said, "Could it be the Netherworld Lord’s soul is imprisoned?"

This speculation is quite astonishing. If the Netherworld Lord’s soul is controlled by Forbidden Soul Stone...

Then some fearsome life form in the Netherworld must be controlling the Child Stone through the Mother Stone, thus controlling the life and death of the Netherworld Lord.

Leng Wuxin pondered and said, "The Netherworld Lord guards the passage entrance between the Netherworld and various worlds. Logically, it’s a pretty good position, isn’t it? Does the Netherworld need to use Forbidden Soul Stones to imprison each Netherworld Lord? It’s completely unnecessary!"

"No..." Lin Feng shook his head.

Leng Wushuang looked at Lin Feng puzzled, "Why? Did you find something amiss?"

Lin Feng said, "Ghost Soldiers Borrowing the Road, Life Forms Retreat! Ghost soldiers are life forms of the Netherworld, and these life forms are subdued by certain Heaven and Earth rules, limiting their free passage to other worlds. Ghost soldiers often appear at night, in perilous places where no one goes, borrowing the road quietly. These Netherworld Lords, guarding the passages between the Netherworld and other worlds, have spent eons in such desolation and loneliness. Do you think they wish to escape the Netherworld? To enter the human world and enjoy a life of freedom?"

"This..." Leng Wuxin couldn’t help but ponder.

Because she felt that Lin Feng’s deductions were worth considering.

People with freedom...

Will never understand how much those imprisoned long for freedom.

Countless people, for the sake of freedom...

Would sacrifice their lives unhesitatingly.

Leng Wuxin said, "Maybe, as you said, the Forbidden Soul Stone is meant to imprison the Netherworld Lord’s soul. If that’s the case, wouldn’t the Forbidden Soul Stone be the nemesis of the Netherworld Lord? Let’s go collect the Forbidden Soul Stone now; it’ll help suppress the Netherworld Lord."

Leng Wuxin was about to move to collect the stele.

But Lin Feng stopped her.

"What are you doing?" Leng Wuxin’s eyes turned cold instantly; although she was temporarily an ally with Lin Feng, she had never been in contact with a man.

She was still the Great Elder who severed emotional ties at Heartless Palace.

Lin Feng pointed into the distance.

Leng Wuxin looked over.

She found a shadow approaching the Forbidden Soul Stone step by step.

No one else, it was the Netherworld Lord.

Seeing the Netherworld Lord, Leng Wuxin’s face slightly changed.

"This place is unsuitable for a long stay, let’s go..."

Lin Feng said.

He and Leng Wuxin left quietly.

"The Netherworld Lord has returned to the depths of the space. With him here, we can’t collect the Forbidden Soul Stone. What should we do now?" Leng Wuxin’s expression was slightly melancholic.

Lin Feng said, "He’ll come out eventually. Once he does, we’ll collect the Forbidden Soul Stone."

Leng Wuxin nodded.

The mountain forest occasionally echoed with the howls of wild beasts.

Inside the Netherworld Cave, many ferocious beasts lived.

But these beasts posed little threat to Lin Feng and Leng Wuxin.

The campfire crackled.

The roast meat above it glowed golden, smelling tantalizing.

Lin Feng sliced a piece of meat with a dagger and handed it to Leng Wuxin.

"I don’t eat these things; they offer no benefit to cultivation." Leng Wuxin said coldly.

She took out a spirit fruit and ate it in small bites.

Lin Feng said, "Life is not just about cultivation; it’s about enjoying life!"

"Absurd logic." Leng Wuxin scoffed lightly.

"Pursuing Tao and longevity, that’s life’s true essence. All things hindering cultivation should be discarded, like the roasting meat in your hand, how many impurities does it hold?"

Lin Feng asked, "Why do you pursue Tao and longevity?"

Leng Wuxin was momentarily speechless.

For 500,000 years, she had tirelessly cultivated, her cultivation steadily rising.

Yet life...

Seemed to follow the same pattern.

Things repeating...

Daily routines...

She didn’t know how many times she’d repeated them.

Lin Feng said, "Life... should be enjoyed, whether physically or mentally!"

Leng Wuxin wanted to argue back but ultimately just scoffed without speaking further.

Lin Feng continued to eat meat and drink wine heartily.

Seeing Lin Feng’s enjoyment...

Eyed the aromatic roasting meat.

Leng Wuxin couldn’t help but feel tempted to taste it.

She intermittently gazed at the meat.

But eventually withdrew her gaze.

Then looked again.

Then withdrew again.

Lin Feng smiled internally; is this woman tempted?

Humans can’t live without meat.

Anyone who doesn’t eat meat for a long time...

Will find themselves tempted.

Lin Feng sliced off a piece and offered it to Leng Wuxin, saying, "Eating meat helps quickly restore energy, allowing us to face any potential danger in our best condition."

Leng Wuxin grumbled, "I was resolute about not touching this food, but to handle upcoming dangers, I’ll eat some now."

Women often find a reason or excuse to cover up their actions.

Lin Feng naturally wouldn’t expose Leng Wuxin.

After taking the roast meat, Leng Wuxin ate a small bite, her eyes lighting up subtly.

Then she began eating voraciously.

In no time, she finished a large piece of roast meat.

"Cut me another piece." Leng Wuxin said.

"Didn’t you say you don’t like it?" Lin Feng teased with a smile.

"None of your business." Leng Wuxin glared at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng dared not offend this lady; he quickly sliced another piece of meat and handed it to her, then offered her a wine jar, saying, "Good wine with roast meat, the taste is extraordinary; try it."

Leng Wuxin hesitated for a moment before taking the wine jar, drinking a small sip and coughing violently.

"You’ve never even drunk wine? Goodness... How did you live all these years? Like a living corpse? So uninteresting," Lin Feng shook his head.

Leng Wuxin scoffed, "You’re the one living like a corpse. My life is vibrant and varied. It’s just wine. I’ve drunk more than you’ve seen."

Saying that, she took several mouthfuls consecutively.
