On Blue Star, Chu Xuan took out the Psionic Cube and immersed his spiritual sense into it. As expected, Ma Nanshan hadn't been mentioned for a long time.
After a brief moment of mourning for the unfortunate soul, Chu Xuan was about to reactivate the soul transmission matrix when something caught his eye.
"Hey, what's this little light point? I've never noticed it before," he mused, surprised.
As he extended his spiritual sense towards it, he quickly came across a message.
"Do not believe! Do not believe! Do not believe! Rectitude Hall has long been destroyed! Only Eternal Hall remains on Soul Star! Anyone claiming to be from Rectitude Hall of Soul Star is a liar! A liar! If you are fortunate enough to see this message, it means your soul is strong enough—escape! Never touch the Psionic block again!"
Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow in intrigue. It appeared that someone had already seen through the tricks of the people from Soul Star. Unfortunately, unless one's soul was of a certain strength, this hidden message would remain undetected.
"Newcomer, welcome," a weary voice suddenly resonated.
"My name is Yun Ming, Soul King of Rectitude Hall on Soul Star. Our planet has suffered..."
Yun Ming appeared again, his tone as tired as before, recounting the disasters of Soul Star. His speech and tone were exactly the same as before; even the emotional inflection remained unchanged.
Yun Ming did not care who Chu Xuan was; he simply relayed his message and then disclosed a method to activate the soul transmission matrix before disappearing.
At this point, Chu Xuan roughly understood the situation. Yun Ming was likely indeed from Rectitude Hall of Soul Star. However, his stored message had been intercepted by those from Eternal Hall and turned into a trap to deceive the ignorant.
Chu Xuan shook his head and immediately employed the "Soul Division Technique," separating about ten percent of his soul. Then, much like before, he activated the soul transmission matrix.
But this time, his soul was not the insignificant wisp it had been previously. It was akin to a colossal entity, and within this vast expanse of his soul, he carried his life-bound magic treasure, the Sky-Shielding Umbrella.
As Chu Xuan had transformed the Sky-Shielding Umbrella into his life-bound magic treasure, he could envelop it within his soul, allowing both to travel through the soul transmission matrix together to Soul Star.
The world spun dizzyingly around him, and in the blink of an eye, he was once again confronted with the dim, dark expanse of Soul Star.
"Uh? Another fool has arrived, just in time for my meal," a sinister laugh echoed from behind him.
A massive hand swooped down towards him. However, the laughter abruptly stopped as the owner of the hand realized that his powerful slap was merely tickling Chu Xuan. The aggressor was stunned to find that Chu Xuan's soul form was more than ten times larger than his own!
"You... you!" he stammered, utterly shocked.
Chu Xuan turned around, looking down from his towering stance at the corpulent and bloated soul before him. The remnants of numerous soul fragments scattered around the grotesque figure indicated the unfortunate souls he had devoured over the years.
"Great Soul King! Please, have mercy! Spare my life!"
The creature did not hesitate to kneel and beg for mercy, sending a pleading thought directly to Chu Xuan.
Conversations between souls required no spoken language but were communicated through thoughts, eliminating any language barriers. This also explained why Chu Xuan had previously understood the words of Ma Nanshan and Yun Ming without issue.
Chu Xuan reached out and grasped the pleading soul in his hand, instantly employing a soul-searching technique.
In a moment, he sifted through the soul's memories, turning them upside down. After reviewing these memories, he quickly grasped the language used by the people of Soul Star.
"This fellow's mind is deeply imprinted with memories of devouring souls, while his other memories are pitifully scarce," Chu Xuan remarked, shaking his head in disbelief.
