"Now that the cultivation resources have been exhausted, the resources obtained from completing missions outside are like a drop in the bucket.

Refining Divine Water and extracting True Yin Qi require several times more resources than ordinary people, so staying within the clan is no longer meaningful.

I am alone, with no bloodline support within the clan, and it's impossible to obtain the resources needed to continue my cultivation.

In recent years, I have also gathered intelligence on the Northwest Continent and have a general understanding of the situation. The plot is just about to begin, so I will have to leave after the Clan Competition in a few days."

Soul Changqing stood up and gazed in the direction of the Northwest Continent, his eyes distant.

Soul Changqing was currently wearing a Black Mystic Robe, standing with his hands behind his back.

His jet-black hair, as dark as ink, fell naturally to his waist, each strand crystal clear.

His face was as white as jade, his delicate features as if carefully carved, natural and harmonious.

His black eyes emitted a cold and piercing light, and the slight resemblance to his previous life added to his cold and distant aura, making him seem like a celestial being descended from heaven.

True Yin Body, with a feminine appearance, his aura was incomparable. Without mentioning other aspects, his appearance was flawless, and most women would feel inferior in his presence.

Soul Changqing, having awakened the True Yin Body, his already handsome appearance from his previous life evolved into an extreme beauty, or rather, restored to what it should have been. Although his current appearance bears a slight resemblance to his previous life, it is worlds apart.

"Now, I wonder if Xiao Yan has awakened the old man in that ring yet?

That old man's Bone Spirit Cold Fire seems quite compatible with me. When I go to the Northwest Continent, I can first study that flame.

Even if I can't figure out anything, breaking down that flame, which is very similar to my constitution, and assimilating it into the Great Yin to strengthen my Great Yin origin would be excellent.

Xiao Yan… Heh heh, since I am a variable in this equation, you, the future Flame Emperor, no longer need to rise."

Thinking of Xiao Yan, the protagonist of this world, the killing intent in Soul Changqing's eyes surged uncontrollably, and a cold, murderous aura enveloped him.

Xiao Yan and the Soul Clan were in a life-or-death struggle, with no room for any exceptions. The Soul Clan might already be targeting the Xiao family, and the extermination of the Xiao family is inevitable. Soul Changqing had neither the ability nor the intention to stop it.

Moreover, after arriving on the Martial Qi Continent, Soul Changqing felt the indescribable and wonderful sensation of power returning to him. With the Great Yin inheritance, he naturally developed ambitious aspirations. He could not allow Xiao Yan to become the so-called Flame Emperor; the one who could achieve the imperial throne could only be him!

Suddenly, Soul Changqing's brows furrowed, and the killing intent dissipated instantly. He took a deep breath.

"Sigh, my heart… is in turmoil, revealing killing intent unconsciously. If I were to walk outside, it might expose some flaws and cause unnecessary trouble.

Although it has something to do with the excessive killing in recent years, I also need to train my state of mind."

Soul Changqing thought to himself.

After advancing to Soul Master, Soul Changqing was no longer satisfied with the superficial sparring within the clan.

The True Yin Body is a constitution that thrives on killing, and making Soul Changqing fight in battles where he couldn't use lethal force was extremely frustrating and stifling. It would have been better not to fight at all.

Therefore, after advancing to Soul Master, he began to leave the clan to undertake low-level missions.

These missions included capturing the souls of low-rank alchemists or exterminating low-level factions and families.

At first, he needed the guidance of high-rank disciples within the clan to learn various combat skills and how to complete missions with minimal cost.

Soul Changqing gradually grew and could complete more challenging missions on his own.

Once, Soul Changqing, with the cultivation of a nine-star Soul Master, single-handedly massacred a family with three Soul Emperors, causing a river of blood to flow.

When Soul Changqing brought the souls of those three Soul Emperors to the Soul Temple to complete the mission, the Soul Temple official responsible for reception was greatly shocked.

The news eventually reached the clan, and with his excessively handsome face, Soul Changqing gained a bit of fame among the younger generation within the clan.

It must be said that the Soul Clan's method of raising children in a world of killing is very suitable for this world.

Strength is truth, and the strong decide everything. As long as you are strong enough, no matter what heaven-defying and man-defying actions you take, others will still smile and praise your greatness.

Of course, this method of growth is not suitable for those righteous protagonists.

Those protagonists would risk their lives for friends and brothers, and when their brothers are sacrificed, they would go berserk.

But those who come from the Soul Clan, when they see a companion injured, not adding a few more stabs already counts as having principles.

Growing up in the environment of the Soul Clan, with the influence of the True Yin Body on his personality, Soul Changqing has become somewhat cold and ruthless.

Soul Changqing has noticed this change but does not pay much attention to it. He feels that this personality is quite good and suitable for surviving in a world where the strong rule.
