She no longer felt she could leave this Soul Threshold alive.

If it weren't for Song Yan, her fate would have been to be desecrated and toyed with by ancient corpses, then turned into a corpse stained with evil in the flood.

Suddenly, she noticed that Song Yan seemed unusually serious tonight.

He was earnestly and repeatedly examining the "Soul-Sealing Array" plate.

Pei Xuehan didn't disturb him, merely greedily drawing a sense of security from the warmth emanating from him.

It was unknown how long had passed when she suddenly heard a loud crack. She hurriedly opened her eyes, only to see Song Yan had crushed the "Soul-Sealing Array" plate.

And Song Yan's fingers picked through the shattered array plate, soon settling and extracting a strange Crystal Jade the size of a soybean, gray on the outside and white on the inside.

Pei Xuehan was just about to say, "This array plate could block out snow; is it not a pity to destroy it?" but saw a peculiar light flashing in Song Yan's eyes.

There was great delight, coldness, but more so... madness.

Pei Xuehan couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

Song Yan held the soybean-sized Crystal Jade, repeatedly examining it, as if confirming something, letting out a chilling laugh, then murmured, "Can you believe that there's actually a Causality White Hole Crystal Jade in this world?

What I have here is a Causality White Hole Crystal Jade. This cultivator fortuitously obtained this formation after several turnovers; the original owner is unknown...

But this is indeed a Causality White Hole Crystal Jade.

I speculate that such a Crystal Jade likely requires disturbance from the Sea of Suffering to occasionally gain it within a connected Soul Threshold.

And the so-called Soul-Sealing Array is essentially repulsion that corresponds to gravity.

It uses array patterns, this Causality White Hole Crystal Jade, to repel all causality fragments, including the aura of the Sea of Suffering."

Pei Xuehan was bewildered, then curiously asked, "If that's the case, why did you destroy it?"

Song Yan said, "Because it's too small. Although the Soul-Sealing Array could block snow, it couldn't block rain, let alone the real aura of the Sea of Suffering.

I dismantled it to prove my hypothesis, and secondly... to put it into the array I modified."

With that, Song Yan quickly took out an array plate from his bosom.

Pei Xuehan looked at it.

She saw that the array patterns on this plate were fewer than any array plate she had seen before.

But the moment she looked away, she had already forgotten those patterns, unable to recall even the slightest bit—they were just a shadow.

"Dao brother indeed is a master of arrays."

What Song Yan took out was the "Lesser Heavenly Dao Gathering Array," an array that could gather corresponding material when the appropriate White Hole Crystal Stone is placed inside.

He immediately took out an array pattern pen to carefully consider how to add something to this "Lesser Heavenly Dao Gathering Array."

...

After three days of tireless effort, Song Yan finally completed the modifications.

His modifications merely shrank the "gathering" range as much as possible, leading to the maximum possible "gravity," making it relatively easy since it was going towards a "lower difficulty."

The amount of a particular substance in any area is limited, and everyone thinks about expanding the "gathering range" to absorb as much of the corresponding material as possible.

But why did he shrink it?

The array plate of the modified Lesser Heavenly Dao Gathering Array was completed, and Song Yan carefully placed the "Causality White Hole Crystal Jade" into the array plate's core, then holding it like a nuclear bomb, silently chanted in his heart: 'With this array plate, and using the Myriad Souls Banner as the target, engage in cultivation.'

His use of talent was becoming increasingly proficient.

[You activated the Lesser Heavenly Dao Gathering Array, the surrounding wind and snow swirled into a vortex, furiously pouring in, you activated the Myriad Souls Banner]

[The evil souls in the banner were continuously frozen, sinking into the permafrost repeatedly. You captured them back, reinserting them into the Myriad Souls Banner, thus seemingly achieving balance]

[A year later, nothing happened]

Song Yan frowned.

This was different from his expectation.

In his mind: this place was very close to the Soul Valve of the Sea of Suffering, and the moment the Lesser Heavenly Dao Gathering Array with the Causality White Hole Crystal was activated, it should have induced the Sea of Suffering.

This was like a needle gently pricking the space very close to the Sea of Suffering. Usually, it wouldn't pierce, but here... it constantly emitted the aura of the Sea of Suffering.

He didn't hope to truly draw up the sea water from the Sea of Suffering, only to draw up the aura. Such would already be terrifying enough.

He wanted this array to become an "all-destroying ultimate move," essentially betting: if I can't live, then no one else can.

At that time, he could still rely on the evil ghosts within the Myriad Souls Banner to barely hold on, but others would find it much harder to persist.

'Could it be that it's still too far from the Sea of Suffering?'

'Maybe only by going deeper into the Soul Threshold would it be effective?'

Song Yan put away the array plate, planning to try it in the next Secret Realm.

He frowned, with an obscure urgency in his eyes.

Pei Xuehan, having become intimate with him, could naturally discern this urgency, so she asked, "What's happened?"

Song Yan said, "I've learned something."

"What is it?"

"The name of the demon country that lent passage to the subordinate cultivators of the White Rainbow Ancient Race."

"What... is it?"

"The Two-Headed Vilan Man-Eating Insect Race." Song Yan's expression was very solemn, "Those two cultivators happened to know this secret."

"This means that the situation here is very deep and implies that the whirlpool we're in isn't just the Soul Thresholds of the King of Wraiths but also others..."

"Before, Elder Yingti said that other Mountain and Sea Demon Races were also eyeing the Evil Treasure, only to be diverted elsewhere by his machinations."

"But since the White Rainbow Ancient Race had already entered the Soul Thresholds of the King of Wraith through the Vilan Jiao Insect Race, how could Elder Yingti... adjust?"

Having spoken, he sighed lightly, "Old fox, it's impossible for him to be truthful.

What exactly he's here for, I can no longer discern.

Maybe... he's just scouting the way for his king.

Or perhaps, he's caught up in someone else's schemes as well.

And we are just two small boats on the waves of the Vast Sea, caught in the battles of these gigantic forces."

Just as he was speaking, Song Yan's expression suddenly changed dramatically...

Because, he sensed that the split souls he placed in the "Shadowless Phantom Crows" at the outermost Secret Realm... had vanished.

That meant someone outside had come in, easily discovering his Shadowless Phantom Crows and wiping them out effortlessly.

Who is it?!

"Go!"

Song Yan grabbed the fishing rod.

Pei Xuehan asked, "Where to?"

"To the next Secret Realm!" Song Yan hastily replied, "Hurry, it seems we've got some old thing chasing us!"
