—------------------—
The Tiandou Auction House has already delivered some of the missing materials, and the Soul Palace prototype can evolve into a first-level Soul Palace.
It is really embarrassing for a dignified Soul Palace to live in a small manor.
Xiao Mu took out all the materials. The prototype of the Soul Palace in his hand was like a black hole, sucking all the materials into it.
When all the materials were devoured, Xiao Mu felt that the light cocoon in his hand had become much heavier, and the dim light flickered, as if the soul palace inside could not wait to come out.
Xiao Mu exerted force with his right hand, and the light cocoon split open inch by inch, revealing the exquisite fortress inside.
After the fortress appeared, it grew against the wind and turned into a huge fortress building in full view of everyone.
The building is a mixture of dark black and grayish white, and it looks ancient and old, as if it has existed since time immemorial.
"Isn't this too unbelievable?"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling both covered their mouths and looked at the fortress that suddenly appeared, suspecting that they were dreaming.
"The Palace Master has great powers. You disciples must always respect him," Zhan Kaishan taught.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Xiao Mu said to the stunned crowd.
The main gate of the fortress is a huge gate about nine meters wide and twenty-five or twenty-six meters high.
On both sides of the giant gate are two human-shaped stone sculptures that are taller than the gate. One holds a knife and the other holds a sword, but the strange thing is that these two sculptures are faceless.
Xiao Mu walked to the door and put his hand on it. The heavy door opened by itself with a faint light, as if a whole new world had opened up.
The moment the gate opened, the image inside the fortress appeared clearly in Xiao Mu's mind.
In the center of the fortress are three palaces of different heights, namely the Palace of Heaven, Earth and Man.
Outside the Three Halls of Heaven, Earth and Man, various workshops, training grounds, battle fields and residential houses are arranged in the shape of the Eight Diagrams, protecting the Three Halls of Heaven, Earth and Man.
Outside of it is a spiritual field, a medicine garden, an animal garden, and several woods.
On the outermost side are some defensive buildings, with more than a dozen watchtowers overlooking the four directions. There are also various instruments on the high city walls, and dozens of cannon-like objects emitting a cold light. It is unknown how powerful they are.
Moreover, while in the Soul Palace, the soul can always be nourished, and everyone's energy and spirit can always be in an excellent state. Whether it is meditation or alchemy, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
At a glance, this first-level Soul Palace fortress can easily accommodate three to five thousand people. If it is a little crowded, accommodating tens of thousands of people is not a problem.
"Huo Yuan."
"Ah? Palace Master, you called me?"
After Huo Yuan entered the Soul Palace Fortress, he was in extreme shock. He only came to his senses after hearing Xiao Mu's call.
"Palace Master, what are your instructions?"
She now not only admires Xiao Mu, but also regards him as a god.
"Among the three halls of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the Heaven Hall will serve as my personal residence, the Earth Hall will be used by the Celestial Lord of the Soul Hall, and the Human Hall will be used by the Soul Hall Venerables and Dharma Protectors. You will arrange for the others to live in the outer residential areas."
"Yes, I understand."
Huo Yuan has become the steward of the Soul Palace.
"Also, we in the Soul Palace will also begin to expand our manpower."
Xiao Mu thought about it and felt that if she handed this matter over to Huo Yuan, the burden on her shoulders would be too heavy. It would not be too much to ask someone to work like a beast of burden.
"Yang Ziqi, I'll leave the matter of recruiting disciples to you."
"Yes, I obey your command."
After receiving the order, Yang Ziqi asked:
"Palace Master, are there any requirements for recruiting disciples? What level of innate soul power is required?"
When the news of Soul Palace recruiting spread, countless people were eager to join.
"There are no requirements for innate soul power. The standard is that the soul strength must be better than that of ordinary people. It is even better if it has special features."
Soul strength and soul power are somewhat related, but they are not completely linked.
Some people are born with weak souls, while others are born with stronger souls. Of course, it does not count when an adult soul descends to take over another person's body.
"The two statues outside the fortress can test one's mental strength and one's hostility towards the Soul Palace. I will show you how to use them. You can use these two statues to assist in recruiting disciples."
"Thank you, Lord."
With the help of these two sculptures, recruiting disciples becomes much easier.
"By the way, Zhan Kaishan, bring over the original Soul Hall plaque and hang it up."
"I'll go right away."
Zhan Kaishan has deep feelings for the Soul Hall plaque that he built with his own hands and that Xiao Mu wrote on it.
Although he is no longer the Great Lord of the Soul Palace, if there is a newcomer, he will point to the plaque.
This was made by me and the Palace Master when we were fighting for the throne. It will definitely look very impressive if we tell others about it.
Zhan Kaishan was very quick and brought the Soul Hall plaque immediately.
When it was hung on the main gate of the fortress, it fit perfectly, as if it was tailor-made for this Soul Palace fortress.
After explaining to everyone what they were responsible for, Xiao Mu came to the Heavenly Palace in the middle of the fortress alone.
Inside the Sky Palace, there is the control core of the entire Soul Palace fortress.
There is no need to refine it, the entire Soul Palace belongs to him. If the entire Soul Palace fortress is a magic weapon, then he is undoubtedly the owner of this magic weapon.
[Level 1 Soul Palace Amplification Ability: Cultivation Speed Increase: 30%]
[Soul Palace Guardian Formations: Mist-Locked Soul Formation, Thunder and Fire Prison Formation, Flying Formation]
By controlling the core, Xiao Mu gained a more comprehensive understanding of the capabilities of the first-level Soul Palace.
Needless to say, the ability to increase cultivation speed is very useful to both himself and other people in the Soul Palace.
As for the three formations, one is a maze, one is an attack formation, and the other is more special, it is a flying formation.
Xiao Mu was somewhat curious about this flying ability.
He tried to use the flying magic circle, and the Soul Palace Fortress shook slightly, then floated up steadily.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were looking around curiously when they suddenly felt their feet shake.
"It's like we're flying."
The Soul Palace Fortress left its original location and flew towards the distant mountains and forests.
"Not bad."
Xiao Mu only made the fortress fly at 30% of its speed, but it was already faster than a horse galloping at full speed.
Soon the fortress came into the mountains.
"Right here."
Xiao Mu chose a relatively flat valley and let the Soul Palace Fortress slowly descend.
After the fortress was completely stabilized, Xiao Mu used the Mist-Locking Soul-Magic Array again. The black fog composed of soul power quickly spread out, enveloping the entire forest.
These black fogs have a powerful confusing effect. Once a soul master enters the black fog, he will absolutely not be able to tell the direction. He may even keep spinning in the same place and never be able to leave.
Xiao Mu was very satisfied with the Soul Palace's new home. Whether it was defense or other functions, it was unmatched by other sects.
The first-level Soul Palace is so powerful, I wonder what kind of incredible abilities the next-level Soul Palace will possess.
But when he took a look at the materials needed to upgrade to a second-level Soul Palace, Xiao Mu's brows twitched.
"What a gold-eating beast! I'm afraid all the gold soul coins I earn from now on will be used to upgrade the Soul Palace."
