Demon World
Meng Hong looked towards Nie Yuu with a very serious gaze this time. He had not expected that the request of the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign was related to Nie Yuu, and it was a search for someone named Sheng Mei.
Seeing Meng Hong startled, the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign felt that something was amiss. He immediately asked back, “Is the woman named Sheng Mei in the First Layer of the Sage Realm?”
The question of the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign made Meng Hong come to a realization from his shock. He looked silent for a while, his face a little dull and did not know what to answer.
After taking a deep breath, Meng Hong looked towards the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign with a very serious gaze. “Old friend, I memorized all the souls that went into the First Layer but there was no one named Sheng Mei. But...”
Disappointment grew on Nie Yuu's day. He felt that he should look to the Second Layer of the Sage Realm. However, he shriveled when he heard those words but from Meng Hong.
“But I've heard his name. Old friend, you have to think about it. As one of the Soul Palace Leaders, I naturally get all the news from every Layer of the Sage Realm. Since we're friends, I suggest that you don't look for him anymore.” Meng Hong.
Hearing Meng Hong's explanation, the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign was certainly very surprised and knew that Sheng Mei's identity was so not simple that Meng Hong suggested that she retreat.
“Why did you say that?” Nie Yuu asked in surprise. He couldn't possibly give up looking for Sheng Mei.
“This time I can't help you, old friend. This is because of your purpose to find it. But, since we are old acquaintances, I will turn a blind eye about your purpose of coming to the Sage Realm Layer. And I can only provide important information that only the Soul Palace Leaders know. I hope you don't mind this.”
“And that information is, the soul of a woman named Sheng Mei is a very precious soul, and she is in the Seventh Layer of the Sage Realm!” said Meng Hong.
“Seventh layer?” The face of the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign was extremely ugly as it naturally knew how difficult it was to go there. Even for him in the past, he had to fight many Devils in order to reach the Seventh Layer of the Sage Realm. And right now he did not have great strength, nor did Nie Yuu. If he didn't want to help Nie Yuu wholeheartedly, he would definitely leave Nie Yuu alone.
But this time, the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign could only sink into his mind and figure out a way to enter the Seventh Layer of the Sage Realm, the most heavily guarded place in the Sage Realm.
“Meng Hong's. Is it impossible to help us? I will give the source of spiritual power that comes from the Eternal Soul to replenish the Reincarnation Cycle Source.” The Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign immediately bid back and took out his final trump card.
Nie Yuu looked at the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign blankly as it seemed that the old demon was using it for bargaining chips.
Meng Hong was shocked to hear that. It seems conflicted at the moment. He was the Leader of the Soul Palace that was behind him. The power emanating from the Eternal Soul would greatly help the development of his work. The reason he was so conflicted, was of course due to the absence of an Immortal Soul owner coming to the Sage Realm as they all stayed alive outside, the laws of the Sage Realm could not attract an Immortal Soul.
The words Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign did indeed move Meng Hong. It's been ingrained in his own genes that if he can make a better job, then he should do it.
“Good. I will only help you to 1/3 the gate key to the Second Layer of the Sage Realm. I have a copy. Then there are 1/3 keys to the Third Layer of the Sage Realm. This is all I can help you with your help charging.” Meng Hong finally gave up due to a temptation he could not ignore.
The Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign's face was extremely bright when he heard it. He knew it was a huge help. To take out two more key shards to head towards the Second Layer of the Sage Realm, it was already extremely difficult. Having 1/3 of it is a huge help.
“Follow me.” said Meng Hong while looking into many places with a serious face. He immediately floated towards the Soul Palace to make a deal.
“Why would he cooperate just for my spiritual power?” Nie Yuu asked in surprise.
“Listen son, if the work of the Soul Devils is getting better, then their life force and strength will be higher. You must understand why no Soul Devil is able to resist this temptation!” The Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign grinned as he slowly flew after Meng Hong.
Nie Yuu who had flown along with Xu Han asked again, “Then why didn't they try to catch the owner of the Eternal Soul?”
“Are you stupid? Immortal Soul possessors could only recover their spiritual power by themselves. The existence of souls like you cannot be controlled by the Soul Devils and they have no way of restoring your spiritual power. Why do troublesome things?” The Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign snorted slightly.
Nie Yuu fell silent because she did not know about it at all. But the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign's explanation made him realize that the Eternal Soul was indeed very special. And since they did not enter the Sage Realm, they were even more valuable even if it could only be used once if there was an Immortal Soul that entered the Sage Realm.
It was undeniable that the Demon Soul was unable to erase the memories of the Eternal Soul. This was also why it felt like there was no need to bother to capture the owner of the Eternal Soul. After all, an Immortal Soul owner could blow their own soul if it had no other way.
Arriving inside the Soul Palace, there were many Demon Souls at work. Many of them are erasing memories, expelling negative energies from souls and so on.
Meng Hong continued to lead Nie Yuu's group. None of the Demon Souls cared about them because they only focused on work. Of course they will be like that because only by doing the work can they live and get stronger. Although it looks cruel, but they are basically created with such rules.
After moving into many rooms, Meng Hong entered the last room. The place had no visible Demon Soul at all.
When Nie Yuu went inside, her pupils shrank because she finally knew what form something was used to continue the reincarnation cycle in pure souls.
