After the Gondola landed, Angel looked back at the surrounding environment. It was almost the same as when he first came here, a plain forest with nothing special except for the lush vegetation.
Angel’s gaze finally settled on a cliffside rock wall.
He remembered clearly that the way to open the Soul Valley was in the rock wall. When Angel first arrived, he was a first-level apprentice and didn’t understand the mysteries of the rock wall. But now, he could clearly sense the illusory aura on the rock wall.
“Indeed, it is an illusion formation. Although there is no illusion node, the internal movement can be traced,” Angel squinted his eyes, carefully examining the faintly visible rune patterns within the illusion formation on the rock wall.
However, before Angel could study it further, Sanders tapped Angel’s head with his curved finger, “Stop staring. This illusion formation may not be very powerful, but the traps here are beyond your imagination. If you continue to study it and the illusion formation judges you as an intruder, then you’re just seeking death.”
The territory of any wizard is their promised domain, and the defensive power is unimaginably strong. Moreover, once someone breaks through the defensive line, the wizard would rather destroy their territory than let outsiders peek.
Angel’s behavior was somewhat taboo.
Sanders flicked an orb of light from his finger, which disappeared into the cliffside rock wall. The next moment, a crack appeared in the rock wall, revealing a winding narrow path like a heavenly moat.
After Sanders’ previous reminder, Angel no longer made any unnecessary actions towards anything around him as they proceeded.
In a short while, they arrived at the fog-shrouded Soul Valley.
The reason why the Soul Valley looked ethereal and misty was that there were too many translucent souls here. These souls were all naked, whether they were male or female, young or old. The young and beautiful ones were fine, but there were more ugly, ferocious, or old and frail souls.
When Angel first came here with Sanders, those souls did not dare to look directly at Sanders, so they focused all their attention on Angel.
But now, they didn’t even dare to approach or look directly at Angel just by sensing the powerful soul aura emanating from him.
From this point of view, it could also indirectly indicate that Angel’s soul strength was already comparable to a wizard’s level.
“Honorable Phantom Master, our master invites you.” A human woman, wearing only a maid’s apron, approached gracefully, knelt down, and kissed Sanders’ boots.
Sanders’ face showed a hint of disgust, “Lead the way.”
In the center of the Soul Valley, there was a wizard’s tower. When Angel first arrived, he didn’t feel there was anything wrong with the tower. But now, as he revisited it, he found that the materials used to construct the tower were all made of Soul Soothing Stones.
This is a beginner-level magical material with a calming effect on souls that lasts a long time.
At the beginning, if Angel had a Soul Soothing Stone, there would be no need to use the Soul Source Flower to protect Freud’s soul. There would not even be a need to specifically craft a “Cathedral of the Dead”; a single Soul Soothing Stone would be enough to ensure the safety of Freud’s soul.
However, the Soul Soothing Stone comes from the Soul Plane and is extremely valuable. Angel searched the entire underground market but could not find a single one, so he had to settle for an alternative.
Unexpectedly, Nisi’s wizard tower was entirely constructed of Soul Soothing Stones. It could be called the Tower of Souls.
No wonder there are so many souls in this valley; with the comfort of the Tower of Souls, there is no fear of dispersal.
This time, Nisi didn’t receive them in his laboratory but chose to meet them on the top floor of the Tower of Souls, in a seemingly ancient hall.
The hall was not lit, and they could only vaguely see the situation inside by the dim light coming through the window.
Nisi sat on a long sofa, right in between light and darkness, making his withered face appear even older.
“What is it, my old friend? You brought your apprentice here to show off?” Nisi’s voice was hoarse. After their arrival, he took out a lighter and lit the oil lamp on the table.
The dim yellow light could only maintain a brightness of two or three meters. Nisi sat on the sofa, and the light cast his shadow tall and deep into the darkness.
“Show off what?” Sanders sat opposite Nisi, casually crossed his legs after sitting down, placed the short staff on his legs, and removed his white gloves, putting them in his breast pocket. Under the firelight, Sanders’ face showed a firm outline in the light and darkness.
“Your aristocratic demeanor remains unchanged for a hundred years. I’m ashamed to compare myself to you,” Nisi shook his head, lamenting. “As for showing off what?”
Nisi looked at Angel, who stood behind Sanders. His appearance had changed slightly since the last time he came, but everything was moving in a positive direction, whether in terms of appearance or strength, demeanor, and bearing.
“You mean Angel? Why would he need to show off? Isn’t it a fact that’s plain to see?” Sanders said without any humility.
Nisi snorted unhappily.
“You came to me, there must be no good reason. If you’re not here to irritate me, it’s to make me work for free.” Nisi leaned back, half-lying on the sofa, called over a nearly naked maid to lean against him, and pinched the maid’s plump buttocks before saying, “Tell me, what do you want from me?”
Sanders glanced at Angel and said indifferently, “I came to you because of Angel…”
As soon as the words were half spoken, Nisi made a “stop” gesture: “Last time you asked me to help Angel identify the lines in his soul, it cost me several years of soul power. This time, stop right there; I don’t want to hear a thing about him!”
Sanders fell silent.
Being able to choke Sanders, Nisi felt as if he had won a battle, revealing a satisfied expression.
“Alright, let’s not talk about Angel.” After a moment of silence, Sanders said, “Let’s talk about your student instead.”
“My student? Who? Saka?” Nisi sneered, “What’s there to talk about him? He spends all day messing with his third star… Wait, you suddenly mentioned him, did he offend you?”
Sanders shook his head, “I’m not asking about him, I want to know about Hookedick.”
As soon as Hookedick was mentioned, Nisi immediately showed an impatient expression, “You really didn’t come to brag. Although I don’t know how Hookedick died, there are so many clues that it’s easy to figure out.”
Nisi paused, his gaze fixed on Angel for a while before saying, “It seems you have won.”
Angel pursed his lips without responding. Although Nisi had said at the beginning that he would not interfere with Angel and Hookedick’s affairs, Angel was still somewhat uneasy. If it were her in Nisi’s position, facing the murderer of his disciple, he probably wouldn’t be so calm.
However, Angel also knew that Nisi’s attitude towards his disciples was quite indifferent. Perhaps because of this, Hookedick’s death didn’t cause much of a ripple in Nisi’s heart.
At this point, Sanders continued, “I heard that Hookedick had been to Soul Earth?”
“Yes, does this have anything to do with your purpose for coming here?” Nisi inquired with a probing look.
“It’s somewhat related. Did Hookedick comprehend any soul-related abilities or, let’s say… Soul Lines while in the Soul Earth?”
Sanders bluntly stated his intentions, making Angel a bit uneasy. He wondered if Nisi would really answer such a direct question.
Apparently, Angel was overthinking it. Other than a hint of doubt, Nisi did not think too much about Sanders’ question. After all, in Nisi’s worldview, there was never any consideration that something could strip away the comprehension of Law Lines from others.
“He did comprehend some Soul Lines, but the gathered Law Power was too little.” Nisi said with a hint of regret, “Hookedick’s talent in souls was indeed good, being able to comprehend Law Lines in a restrained Soul Garden is quite impressive.”
“If he had the fortune to witness the birth of a Soul Garden, he might have truly fully comprehended the Soul Lines. What a pity, with such talent, he couldn’t even escape with his soul in the end.”
Hookedick was indeed a prodigy. The probability of comprehending Law Lines in a mature Wizard Garden was minuscule, but he managed to do it. If it weren’t for his enmity with Angel, he might have even become a wizard and stepped onto the path of true knowledge.
“Do you know the final effect of the Soul Lines he comprehended?” Sanders continued to ask.
“Are you talking about the soul ability?” Nisi pondered for a moment, “It’s actually just a very common spell called the Path of the Soul Realm. It’s a spell that all soul-related wizards need to learn after becoming official wizards. Hookedick simply learned it during his apprenticeship.”
The so-called Path of the Soul Realm Spell is actually the construction of a mysterious and profound channel connecting two spaces that are attached to the human body but transcend themselves.
This channel connects the Soul Realm and the mental space.
Upon careful contemplation, it seems that this channel has no real significance, because the nature of the Soul Realm and the mental space are different, so what’s the use of building a bridge between them?
However, this spell is a required spell for all soul wizards.
It can be said that this is the second core spell for soul wizards, following the “Soul Furnace.”
The significance of this spell lies in that once it is learned, even when using the Soul Binding Spell to leave the body, one can still sense the existence of the mental space in the state of the soul body.
Originally, the soul body could not use any spells because it had no magic power and no place to construct spell models. However, if a bridge is built between the Soul Realm and the mental space, one can manipulate magic power and cast spells even in the state of the soul body.
However, although the soul can cast spells through this, it does not mean that the soul can also cultivate.
If in the state of the Soul Binding Spell, the soul can manipulate the magic power in the mental space, but it can only manipulate the existing magic power in the magic source. If the soul does not return to the physical body, the magic source will never increase.
One disadvantage of this spell is that one cannot meditate while in the soul body state.
