"Isn't that the pearl that was taken down from the cave earlier?!" "Why would it be here now? I clearly remember that it had merged into my palm, but I was unable to find it no matter how hard I tried. Right now, why would it be here, and where exactly is it?" His mind was filled with questions that echoed in his head.

"You're awake, young man!"

An old and ethereal voice came from the endless darkness. The originally loud and cold voice immediately became vigilant upon hearing the voice.

"Who are you?"

As he spoke, Han Ming was already prepared for battle.

"Hehe, this little fellow is quite vigilant. However, you can rest assured that I will not hurt you."

The ethereal voice once again came from the endless void. Although the voice said that it did not mean that it would harm him, Han Ming did not give up his fighting stance. Since he was currently in a unclear location, he did not even see the other party.

"Who exactly are you? Where are my other friends? And where is this? "

A series of questions was spat out by Han Ying. They slowly floated into the darkness in the distance and then disappeared into the depths of the darkness.

A moment later, threads of energy undulations were suddenly emitted from this endless void. The energy undulations were extremely obvious a few meters in front of Han Ming. A black-robed old man slowly appeared from it.

After the old man in black appeared, the previously dark void around him slowly became much dimmer, allowing Han Ming to clearly see the old man's face.

A large black robe completely covered the old man's skinny body. However, the old man's body seemed well-proportioned and at ease, as if this was how it should be.

That old man had snow-white hair and even his eyebrows were dyed white. On his skinny face, he emitted a mysterious aura as he shifted between illusion and reality.

From the moment the black-robed old man appeared, Han Ming had been staring at him the entire time. He then exclaimed, "You have a soul form?"

Han Ming stared at the old man in black robes, but it was impossible to tell what he was talking about. Han Ming's soul was extremely dense, and he could not see through Han Ming, but he had to surpass him. The old man in black robes looked at Han Ming, but it was impossible to see what he was thinking, but Han Ming's soul was extremely dense, and he could not see through Han Ming.

The black-robed old man looked at Han Ming with a smile that was not a smile. After which, the muscles on his skinny face twitched slightly as he slowly spoke for the first time, "As expected of the person chosen by the Saint Light Pearl. That's right, the current me is indeed a spirit body."

Hearing the sound, the muscles on Han Ming's face trembled, he put down his guard at that moment and thought to himself: "Looks like if a person is unlucky, drinking cold water is enough to make them clench their teeth. Now that they have encountered a Heavenly Soul Realm, their own life is in constant danger, any defense is futile."

But then he thought, if he really wanted to kill me, why wait until now? After he thought this through, Han Ming turned to the old man and asked, "Who are you? Where are my friends?"

The black-robed elder stroked his beard, sizing up Han Ming from head to toe before nodding his head slightly.

"Indeed, it's not bad. I wonder how that boy's eyes will look? Even such a fine piece of jade can be regarded as a stone."

After that, he said to Han Ming, "I saw that your friends' aptitudes were quite poor, so I helped them change them. Other than the youngest one, the rest were all cultivating."

Xu Han's talent was not bad, but according to Han Ming's estimation, he was at least at the sixth stage of the Golden Soul Realm. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of the title of the number one genius of the Star Moon Mercenary Group, this old man probably could not change Xu Han's talent, so that's why he did not cultivate, but what made Han Ming suspicious was that they were strangers to the old man in black, why did he help them change their talent?

Little fellow, you do not need to doubt this old man's words. You only need to know that this old man is an alchemist, transforming his talent and studying the impossible is my hobby. If it were not for the fact that my ability is limited, I would have even changed you.

Hearing this, Han Ming was pleasantly surprised. He actually met another alchemist that was with him, although his alchemy level was not bad, but meeting someone higher level than him who could learn more alchemy experience, that was pretty good too, so Han Ming was a bit excited in his heart.

"Since you are an alchemist, why did you trap us here?"

Although those 'Heaven Swallowing Pythons' were extremely powerful, the cold cries with many hidden cards were not necessarily afraid of them. They were naturally somewhat angry when they were suddenly drawn into this endless dark space for no reason.

Who allowed you to touch it, it was the Pearl of Holy Light that brought you here, and this place, is a space that was created by the Pearl of Holy Light itself. This old man obtained the Pearl of Holy Light long ago, but was unable to recover it, so this old man placed it in the cave, hoping that a fated person would come, but who would have thought that you would take it for granted. Since the Pearl of Holy Light recognizes me as its master, the former master should be happy!

"Wh …" "What? You said that the space I'm in is caused by this pearl?" Han Ming lowered his head and looked at the white bead that was quietly suspended three inches above his palm. He could not help but cry out in shock.

Laughing, the black robed elder replied, "You clever boy. Let me tell you, this Radiant Saint Bead is a treasure, and the secret inside has yet to be opened. No one knows about it, so you should be careful."

"What secrets can this bead hide?"

Han Ming doubtfully looked at the floating beads in his hand and asked the old man in black.

The old man's mouth twitched, and he looked at Han Ming as if he was looking at an idiot. He then said, "What secrets are there that you can ask? How could it become a world without a secret? Without a secret, how could he have so much energy? I haven't been able to subdue it for so many years without a secret? " The old man's words immediately caused Han Ming to be speechless.

"I obtained this Saint Light Bead earlier, however, no matter how much I seal it, the suppression will never be able to subdue it. In the end, I had no choice but to place it in the cave, only then did I give you the advantage.

Han Ming looked at the pearl that was emitting white light. At this moment, Han Ming knew where the treasure of this pearl was and hurriedly smiled apologetically at the old man, "Sir, shouldn't you thank me for that!"

"Damn it!" Han Ming's expression changed as he cursed out loud. Then, he sat up straight and crossed his legs.

"Hey, boy, why do you not know etiquette? If you don't thank me, then don't thank me. Why did you curse at me when you opened your mouth? So uncultured, so …"

However, after saying a few words, he stopped. This was because he saw Han Ming sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, not listening to him speak. This caused him to be quite angry.

After all, it was not easy for the Saint Light Bead to find its owner. After all, after so many years, the number of people it had tried was not less than a thousand, but only the boy in front of it met the requirements. He also wanted to see what secrets the Saint Light Bead was competing for, and what could this thing that even he could not decipher, would be lacking.

However, even though he couldn't kill the old man, he could still make fun of him. Just as the old man was about to make fun of the cold cry, a cry of surprise came from the old man's shriveled lips.

"Eh, this kid is interesting!"

The old man stroked his beard as he smiled at the cold screech that sounded out as he sat cross-legged in the air with his eyes closed. Threads of wild and violent energy rushed over from the endless darkness before all of them entered Han Ming's body.

"This kid, I didn't think he would be able to level up here."

That's right, the current Han Ming was in the midst of advancing his cultivation. He sat cross-legged in the air, closing his eyes tightly as he emitted a cold cry, and when he looked into his soul, he saw traces of energy that could be seen by the naked eye entering his body from the outside, entering into his dantian along his meridians, slowly strengthening his dantian.

At this moment, Han Ming was in a miserable state. He didn't expect that if he didn't advance later or later, he would have to advance in the space created by the bead. If that old man were to do that to him, then he would have to end his life here.

However, when Han Ming thought about it, even if he didn't level up, the old man would still give him a chance when he was in his best condition.

Thinking about this, Han Ming's heart calmed down. No matter what, he had to first suppress the speed of his breakthrough, and not just casually level up, Han Ming was currently at the peak of the intermediate Golden Soul Realm, and the energy he absorbed was much faster than other people's cultivation.

This kind of terrifying cultivation speed was not something an ordinary person could imagine. In addition to the recent battles, he had long since reached the peak of the middle stage. Thus, it was not strange for him to advance.

However, Han Ming firmly believed in the words of Sky Fire; that was to say, he wouldn't advance even if he were beaten to death. Only when his body's soul power was fully filled, would he be able to start breaking through to the Intermediate Gold Soul Realm.

Han Ming's spiritual power immediately sealed all the meridians in his body, preventing the external energy from entering into Han Ming's body. As for the internal energy, because there was no external energy to support it, it suddenly spread out, filling all of Han Ming's meridians.
