Chapter 538: Chapter 410: Wind-binding Sanctuary, Embarking on a New Trial

Chu Mu nodded, maintaining his soul sense connection, and slowly infused the soul sense containing the memories of the Wind-binding Spirit into the other half of the Memory Liquid, allowing the Wind-binding Spirit to drink the other half.

The Wind-binding Spirit had already sensed that Chu Mu was returning its soul and desperately drank the other half of the Memory Liquid. Then, it followed Chu Mu’s soul sense, allowing its soul to be rewritten.

The process of memory imprinting was not much different from signing a soul contract, but Chu Mu did not chant the soul contract spell, and forcefully imprinted his soul mark on the Wind-binding Spirit’s soul.

“Young Master, Memory Liquid has a destructive effect on souls. This Wind-binding Spirit’s memory has been returned, but its memories will be somewhat broken. It must slowly fill in the gaps of its past memories through subsequent experiences.” Fox Elder said.

“Even after its memory was erased, it still insisted on doing what it wanted. I think that with the fragments of memories, it will naturally remember.” Chu Mu said.

After saying that, Chu Mu withdrew his soul sense.

For some reason, when Chu Mu withdrew his soul sense, he could vaguely feel that his soul and the Wind-binding Spirit still had a faint connection, although it was not as strong as a soul contract…

Chu Mu felt that the Wind-binding Spirit’s soul had changed after being washed twice, and this change seemed like a sublimation of soul, yet it still lacked something.

“Tssssssss~”

The Wind-binding Spirit let out a faint moan, and those hollow eyes gradually gained some luster and movement.

Chu Mu slowly walked to the side, picked up the Soul Capture Ring, and returned to the Wind-binding Spirit, saying, “Come, I’ll go to the Wind-binding Sanctuary again, and I’ll release you. You can do whatever you want.”

“Tssssssss~” The Wind-binding Spirit nodded.

This time Chu Mu didn’t need to chant a spell, and the Wind-binding Spirit took faltering steps towards the space inside the Soul Capture Ring…

A stellar-like deep light flashed, and the petite body of the Wind-binding Spirit gradually disappeared from the battlefield. Chu Mu probed with his soul sense into the soul-catching space and gave the Wind-binding Spirit an 8th Level Healing Potion, letting it take the potion.

After taking the healing potion, the Wind-binding Spirit curled up on the edge of the empty Soul Capture Space, gradually recovering its soul. The somewhat spiritless eyes now had a special crystal gleam, but remained determined without shedding tears.

Chu Mu looked at the exhausted Wind-binding Spirit and sighed softly, not saying anything more, and wore the Soul Capture Ring on his hand.

“Young Master, do you really think this kind of idea is meaningful? Truly powerful Soul Pet Masters often need to be ruthless, and there was once a powerful Soul Pet Master who completely disappeared from this world because of this idea.” Fox Elder said in a deep voice.

“I don’t know, I just do what I think is right.” Chu Mu would also feel pity for an Intermediate Monarch at the Eighth Rank and Advanced Stage, but a soul pet that had lost its soul, in Chu Mu’s eyes, had lost its fighting conviction and would become a marionette he controlled, not his own soul pet.

“Sigh…” Fox Elder also sighed and said, “When you reach that level and still maintain this ideal, I will tell you the origin of the Prison Island God.”

“Prison Island God…” Chu Mu murmured.

Chu Mu still remembered the feeling when the Prison Island God flew past him – an intense inner shock as if being in the presence of a powerful creature from another world, infinitely mysterious, and at the same time, exuding a seemingly unbounded power.

When the Prison Island God flew less than ten meters above his head, Chu Mu couldn’t even muster the energy to look up in awe. At that time, Chu Mu had deeply understood that this ten-meter distance was akin to a divine abyss.

Over the years, Chu Mu had been growing and becoming stronger. He didn’t know how much closer he had gotten, even if only slightly, to the Prison Island God. In any case, Chu Mu would continue to climb upward…

…

“Still unsuccessful. It seems that a Soul Pet Trainer can only increase the odds a bit…” Ye Wansheng walked down from his seat.

After coming down, Ye Wansheng greeted Chu Mu and left alone. It seemed that he also needed to keep working hard for his own soul pet.

Chu Xing and Chu Ning wanted to comfort Chu Mu, but seeing him alone in deep thought at the center of the battlefield, they hesitated and did not approach. Instead, they left the battlefield right after Ye Wansheng.

Ye Qingzi did not leave. She sat quietly in her seat, watching Chu Mu’s back and thinking about something…

…

After some time, Chu Mu gradually emerged from his deep thoughts. He turned around and looked at the quietly waiting Ye Qingzi.

Ye Qingzi noticed Chu Mu’s gaze, and her beautiful eyes showed a fascinating shimmer. A smile bloomed on her face and she said, “I’ve made some ice-attributed spirit items these days that might help lower the temperature of your soul. However, because they’re Eighth Level Ice Element spirit items, it’ll take some more time to fully refine them…”

“You’ve waited here for so long just to tell me this?” Chu Mu approached Ye Qingzi.

“Yes.” Ye Qingzi nodded.

“Anything else?” Chu Mu’s tone carried a hint of frivolity.

Ye Qingzi quickly sensed the change in Chu Mu’s gaze. She could usually deal with other people’s frivolous and heated gazes indifferently, but Chu Mu’s made her feel somewhat uncomfortable. This unease wasn’t because she disliked his tone, but because she felt something strange stirring in her heart, making her beautiful, fair face inexplicably blush.

“I… I should have prepared everything before telling you.” Ye Qingzi muttered to herself. She could have mentioned the matter of the medicine earlier and didn’t need to wait here specifically for that purpose. It was as if she wanted to talk to him…

Chu Mu looked at Ye Qingzi, who usually maintained her composure and saw her showing a hint of embarrassment. He smiled and sat down beside her, getting closer to her, and began sharing his experiences throughout the year after leaving Li City with Ye Qingzi…

…

Ye Qingzi already knew that Chu Mu was the shocking half-demon that had caused a stir in the world after leaving Li City. But Chu Mu also believed that Ye Qingzi would keep this secret for him, so he didn’t need to explain it to her specifically.

The damage that Chu Mu’s half-demon state caused to his soul was immense, and Ye Qingzi had been very worried about this issue for the past year. After all, Chu Mu had been relying on her ice attribute spirit items to lower his soul temperature before that.

So, after joining Soul Hall, Ye Qingzi spent her time creating ice attribute spirit items to reduce Chu Mu’s soul temperature, aside from treating Ye Wansheng’s injuries.

After more than a year of training, Ye Qingzi was now able to concoct level 8 spirit items.

Ye Qingzi’s tailored concoctions were more effective than those bought outside, as she could target Chu Mu’s constitution, soul pets, and soul during the refining process, ensuring that her ice attribute spirit items would be 100% beneficial to him.

From then on, Ye Qingzi took on the responsibility of being Chu Mu’s full-time caretaker and doctor, devising a few plans for him, such as the need to take ice attribute spirit items twice a month, spending some time absorbing the energy of level eight ice attribute soul crystals during meditation every day, and taking a cold ice bath before bed to eliminate any lingering Demon Flame aura from his body…

If he didn’t suppress the half-demon issue, Chu Mu felt he would lose his sanity completely before the World Decree. With the opening of the Wind-binding Temple delayed and Ye Qingzi stressing the severity of the soul issue, she successfully persuaded Chu Mu to take a month for healing, during which time he would have to follow her instructions.

So, Chu Mu entered a comprehensive healing phase, focusing mainly on the strength improvement of the Ice-Feathered Spirit.

…

One month went by quickly.

Ye Qingzi’s healing showed notable results, and Chu Mu could even feel that his soul had ascended to a certain extent after feeling cleansed, making him another step closer to becoming a Sixth-level Thought Soul Master.

While the Ice-Feathered Spirit had gone through the spirit item phase strengthening not long ago, even though Chu Mu had spent two level 8 spirit items and bathed in cold ice every day, the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s rank had only risen to Eighth Rank Fifth Stage.

In fact, this month had done a lot to strengthen the Ice-Feathered Spirit. What it lacked now was combat experience. Once it was placed in continuous battles, its rank would undoubtedly increase exponentially.

…

A month later, the Wind-binding Temple finally opened its mysterious doors.

As soon as the temple opened, the Holy Guards released the captured Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit back into the Wind Pit area, where Chu Mu could easily find it.

Chu Mu could give up on the Eighth Rank Advanced Stage Wind-binding Spirit, but he had to at least try to get the Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit, as it was his ideal wind element soul pet.

“Chu Chen, level 7 title. Hand over your space ring and soul capture ring,” ordered the Holy Guard.

“This soul capture ring contains a level eight advanced stage Wind-binding Spirit. Can I release it?” Chu Mu said, pointing at the soul capture ring.

The two Holy Guards looked puzzled. Releasing soul pets into the Wind-binding Sanctuary was usually their job, and it was against the rules to carry a ring containing an Eighth Rank Advanced Stage Wind-binding Spirit into the sanctuary.

“You can take this soul capture ring inside. Release it and then capture the soul pet you want in it. When you come out, we will check that it only contains one soul pet.” The Holy Guard Leader Zhuo Nong approached Chu Mu and spoke calmly.

Chu Mu nodded, realizing the leniency of the Holy Guard Leader Zhuo Nong, and thanked him before walking towards the Wind-binding Sanctuary with the soul capture ring containing the level eight advanced stage Wind-binding Spirit.

This time, Chu Mu entered the Wind-binding Sanctuary not only to capture the Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit but also as a new test for himself, one that would last a long time! (.)
