I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy - Chapter 1306

Chapter 1306: Chapter 542: The Cold Cry Lies Dormant, Soul Sutra Soul Seal_2 Chapter 1306: Chapter 542: The Cold Cry Lies Dormant, Soul Sutra Soul Seal_2 Once the Soul Guide and the Wan Ming Incarnation are formed, they are independent and have no causal relationship; no Immortal Skill at the current stage can trace them.

This is also one of the troubles with the Soul Tower–it is why the Wan Ming Immortal Sovereign appears and disappears like a ghost, yet knows countless news of the Immortal Realm and influences the major trends of the realm.

The Soul Sutra and Soul Guide can also be found in the Age Candle Immortal Court.

But Han Yi did not seek them, nor did he practice the Soul Sutra, because he worried that if he practiced the Soul Sutra, he would be unable to infiltrate the Soul Tower.

Moreover, before this, there were not a few immortals who practiced the Soul Sutra using intercepted Soul Guides, but none of these practitioners of the Soul Sutra could find the slightest clue through this method.

In Han Yi’s view, this was akin to unauthorized access.

If the Soul Tower were likened to a network, the Wan Ming Immortal Sovereign naturally stood at the pinnacle, the hidden hand manipulating the network. Below him were the formal members of the Soul Tower; some of them were his incarnations, some were not, but all occupied important nodes.

Further down, the official members controlled lower organizations, such as the Ten Thousand Soul Pavilion, the Soul Tower, the Soul Hall, etc. These lower organizations had fewer formal members of the Soul Tower and also included peripheral personnel who relied on these organizations to seek cultivation resources or achieve their own goals.

This was the structure of the Soul Tower.

Such a structure had an incredible feature: control from the top down was feasible, but tracing from the bottom up was completely impossible, even with the authority of an Ancestor.

This top-down control was very likely based on the Soul Guide and Soul Sutra; normally, those who practiced the Soul Sutra and joined the lower organization the Soul Hall, or eventually rose to become true members of the Soul Tower, were recognized by the Wan Ming Immortal Sovereign.

However, intercepting the Soul Guide and practicing the Soul Sutra on one’s own amounted to unauthorized access and was naturally ineffective.

No wonder all the great powers and Ancestors of the Immortal Realm dreaded the Wan Ming Immortal Sovereign–with such a system and structure, it was unstoppable, yet one could hardly guard against it.

After Han Yi entered Han Ming Immortal City, with a shake of his body, he became a Half-immortal.

His Immortal Skill Infant Morphing Change Form, although still at Fourth-stage, was also incredibly close to Fifth-stage, and this Tiangang Immortal Skill, derived from the panel, once deployed on him, was not at all inferior compared to the Sixth-stage Tiangang Immortal Skills of other Golden Immortals.

Using Infant Morphing Change Form, unless against an Immortal Monarch, Han Yi was confident he could deceive the heavens and cross the sea.

In the information provided by the jade slips from the Original Art Immortal Monarch, he located a Soul Hall stronghold and rented a Cave Mansion nearby, constantly keeping an eye on this stronghold.

The information in the jade slips from Original Art Immortal Monarch included countless strongholds of the Soul Tower; this one in Han Ming Immortal City was not conspicuous.

Han Yi chose this place randomly because he couldn’t discern anything from the information provided in the jade slips; he could only randomly choose a stronghold, trying to use it as a breakthrough to step into the Soul Tower.

This approach was routine; many Golden Immortals from the Immortal Court undertaking this task did the same.

Of course.

Most Golden Immortals gained little, and in the end, even if they destroyed the stronghold, it had virtually no impact on the Soul Tower. After a while, peripheral members would bring resources to the exposed Immortal City and open a new stronghold.

This was not provocation.

To the Soul Tower, it was just a countermeasure against the suppression of the major powers of the Immortal Realm.

Therefore, over so many myriad years, even the few major Immortal Courts hated the Soul Tower fiercely but were helpless against it.

Half a month later.

A Half-immortal entered this stronghold, and moments later left; Han Yi followed this Half-immortal, effortlessly pulling him into the Divine Aperture World and obtained the methods and means this Half-immortal used to buy information.

That’s right.

If the approach was wrong, the lower organization’s strongholds of the Soul Tower would not sell information.

This time, Han Yi didn’t plan to force his way in, because the jade slip information indicated that those Golden Immortals who tried force could at most destroy the strongholds but could not trace back to the real Soul Tower.

The Soul Hall stronghold here was likely connected to the branch of the Soul Hall, continuing upward to the headquarters of the Soul Hall, and only those connected to the headquarters of the Soul Hall were the true Soul Tower.

After acquiring the contact method for this stronghold of the Soul Hall in Han Ming Immortal City, seven days later, Han Yi, with the appearance and aura of that Half-immortal, went to the stronghold to obtain information.

Last time, this Half-immortal had submitted his requirements for information; today was the agreed day for the information exchange.

This Half-immortal was a slightly weathered, deep-eyed, stern-faced middle-aged man named Yao Zhang.

The real Yao Zhang was temporarily confined in the Divine Aperture World by Han Yi, and Han Yi, having taken Yao Zhang’s Divine Soul aura and by using Immortal Path secret techniques, deployed Infant Morphing and attached it to his own Divine Soul. Moreover, Han Yi used the methods from the Beimang Immortal Sutra to temporarily transfer the cause and effect from Yao Zhang’s body onto himself, ensuring that even if faced with a Golden Immortal, even if they used Causality Tracing or Servant Life-Fate Skill, they would not detect a single issue.

Inside the stronghold, Han Yi wore a stern expression, took the information, and left without a word.

Half a month later.

The Yao Zhang impersonated by Han Yi returned to Han Ming Immortal City severely injured and went to the stronghold again; this time, he was there to buy information on how to join the Soul Hall.

This was a surprise to the official of the Soul Hall running the stronghold.

To buy information on joining the Soul Hall from its own stronghold was a method he had never encountered before.

The official lifted his head and inquired, and Han Yi said heavily,
“I have killed Cold Pavilion, but the head of the Han family is a Profound Immortal of the Taihao Dojo. If I want to live, my only option is to join the Soul Hall.”
