—------------------—
With the three divine artifacts and numerous materials now collected, the Soul Palace is finally about to undergo another upgrade.
This upgrade of the Soul Hall was much more significant than before, so all the Soul Hall disciples sensed it as soon as it began.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"
"Has someone broken in?"
While the new disciples were still flustered and at a loss, the veteran disciples had already regained their composure and were even willing to explain to the newcomers.
"If I'm not mistaken, this means there's another new development in our Soul Palace."
"Change? Is this change good or bad?"
"Of course it's good. Every change in the Soul Palace brings great improvements. Places like the Beast Garden and the Soul-Giving Tower are all the result of these changes."
"Will this change in the Soul Palace give rise to any new abilities?"
"Who knows? We'll find out once the changes are over."
Besides these disciples, Yue Guan, who was the last to join the Soul Palace, was also shocked by this.
Ghost had already witnessed the Soul Palace's upgrade once, so he felt particularly superior in front of his old friend.
"Don't panic, our Soul Palace is about to upgrade again."
Yue Guan had many doubts, but upon seeing Gui Mei's smug expression, he understood.
It seems to be saying: Beg me, and I'll tell you.
He immediately lost the desire to ask. So what if he joined the Soul Hall a while earlier than me? What's so great about that? You want me to ask you? I'm not going to.
Yue Guan put away his doubts and looked calmly at the boundary of the Soul Palace Secret Realm, seemingly no longer curious about the so-called upgrade of the Soul Palace.
This, however, made the ghost scratch its head in frustration.
The feeling of wanting to show off but receiving no response was unpleasant. Among all the Heavenly Venerables in the Soul Palace, he could only show off to the newcomer Yue Guan, but his old friend didn't give him any face at all.
When the ghosts are unhappy, Yue Guan's mood improves.
Who says old friends can't argue and play mind games? People will always have tempers after being together for a long time, but these little tricks are harmless.
At the boundary of the Soul Palace Secret Realm, the four forces of earth, wind, water, and fire circulate and surge, spreading towards the void space further away.
The earth is expanding, and the rules are being reshaped.
It took three full days for the Soul Palace's upgrade to finally be completed.
Over the course of three days, many of the existing buildings and landmarks within the Soul Palace Secret Realm were first destroyed and then rebuilt.
The area of the Soul Palace Secret Realm has expanded hundreds of times from the size of a town.
The Soul Palace can no longer be described as a secret realm; it has become a small world in itself.
Besides the change in size, the Soul Palace Small World has also undergone fundamental changes compared to before.
The previous Soul Palace Secret Realm relied on the Douluo Continent plane and could not exist independently of the Douluo Continent plane.
The current Soul Palace Small World is like a completely new plane, not dependent on the Douluo Continent plane, and can be self-sufficient, achieving internal circulation.
Xiao Mu's original First Soul Peak is still there, but both its height and size are far greater than before. It is like a giant pillar supporting the sky. From a distance, it looks as if the First Soul Peak is supporting the heavens and the earth.
For the past three days, the disciples of the Soul Palace have been constantly astonished.
The Soul Palace Secret Realm has grown so much, there are so many places to explore now that the current Soul Palace disciples are completely unable to explore all areas of the Soul Palace Small World.
Inside the Heavenly Palace, the original core of the Soul Palace had transformed into a hazy ball of light, emanating a mysterious aura, as if a galaxy was still in the process of forming and being conceived.
"Lord of the Palace."
"Your Highness, you've finally come out."
During the upgrade of the Soul Palace, Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, and Gu Yuena all left the Soul Palace to guard outside.
As soon as Xiao Mu came out of the hall, Ye Lingling exclaimed in surprise.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were similar; their surprise stemmed from the changes in the Soul Palace. Gu Yuena, on the other hand, was simply shocked as she witnessed the Soul Palace's upgrade for the first time.
This is such powerful spatial force that it can directly create a world; even the Space Dragon King probably couldn't do that.
Gu Yuena felt that the Dragon God should be able to do it, but in such a short time as three days, even if the Dragon God were to be resurrected, he probably wouldn't be able to complete it.
Not to mention that the Soul Palace's small world is not a newly created chaotic state; it has everything from mountains and rivers to lakes and seas, and everything from plants and trees to rocks, as if it has evolved over millions of years, making it very complete.
Having witnessed the birth of the Soul Palace's small world, Gu Yuena's awe of Xiao Mu increased even further.
Originally, she only thought that the Soul Palace was mysterious and Xiao Mu was quite powerful, but not to the point that she could not even look up to him.
However, after these three days of developments, Gu Yuena was somewhat confused.
If the Soul Palace continues to evolve, will it become as powerful as the God Realm?
Gu Yuena was happy to see many enemies in the God Realm, but it would be even more difficult to find a way out for the Soul Beast race with the help of the Soul Palace. She dared not easily entrust the future of the Soul Palace to Xiao Mu, whom she could not see through at all.
"Xiao Na, you're still not over it. We need to go down the mountain."
Just as Gu Yuena was feeling incredibly conflicted, Dugu Yan patted her on the shoulder.
"Oh? Oh, I'll go too."
Gu Yuena, regaining her senses, glanced at Xiao Mu's back and wondered: Had the Palace Master seen through my identity?
She had been very confident in her ability to hide her abilities, but now she was no longer as certain as before.
If the temple master knew her identity but never exposed it, what was the reason?
"Lord of the Palace."
After descending from the First Soul Peak, all the Heavenly Venerables and Venerables of the Soul Palace came to greet us.
Besides Huo Yuan, the three original deans of the single-element academies, including Feng Xingzhi, also successfully broke through to the Title Douluo realm and became Venerables from Protectors.
Several Soul Hall disciples who were originally below the Soul Douluo level have also broken through their cultivation levels, so there aren't so few protectors left.
"Come on, I'll take you to a nice place."
"yes."
During these three days, they did briefly look around at some places, but because the changes were not yet complete, they were worried that wandering around would affect the Soul Palace's upgrade, so they didn't go to many places.
After the Soul Palace is upgraded, some special abilities will naturally appear.
The speed of cultivation has doubled again, and there are many other changes. The place that Xiao Mu took Qiu Tian and the others to is the most special area after the Soul Palace was upgraded.
In a special area of the Soul Palace's small world, ordinary disciples have no way of accessing it, and even seeing it is extremely difficult.
In fact, if Xiao Mu hadn't personally led them, it would have been very difficult for Title Douluos like Huo Yuan and the others, who hadn't even reached level 95, to get close to this place.
"This is..."
What appeared before Qiu Tian and his companions was a hazy, multicolored land, in which they could not see anything at all.
However, after arriving here, Qiu Tian and Qian Qiu Sui trembled. Their strength, which had almost reached its limit, showed a tendency to advance to a higher level after arriving here.
"This is the Seven-Colored Heavenly Light. Stepping into it will take you to the place of enlightenment."
