Spirit Realm Chapter 1548
Chapter 1548: Four Devil Hearts
“The Nether River that runs through the Eight Purgatories, the power of the Profound Yin Nether Sea…”
Qin Lie’s expression gradually darkened. His attitude towards Xillin changed due to Ming Xiao’s words.
Originally, he had planned to use a Soul Race secret art to form a servant bond with Xillin. He hoped that Xillin would docilely follow him.
Through Ming Xiao’s explanation, he realized that Xillin was unlike other Soul Race clansmen, and was too dangerous.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
The glittering star door opened at the Dark Soul Beast’s side. Qin Lie’s main body passed over.
When his main body appeared, he nodded to Ming Xiao, and then pointed at his forehead.
The Soul Suppressing Orb slowly appeared out of his skin and gave off a strange light.
“No! No!”
Xillin, whose souls had been obliterated by Ming Xiao’s purple lightning, suddenly screamed.
Qin Lie and Ming Xiao could both see his terror.
Previously, Xillin had not show much fear upon hearing his conversation with Ming Xiao. He seemed to feel that he and Ming Xiao could not do much to him.
Xillin did not seem to believe that Qin Lie would really attempt to kill him completely.
He had great confidence in the strange power art he mastered. If Qin Lie did not refine and kill him, he believed he could recover back to normal.
Yet the appearance of the Soul Suppressing Orb tore apart all of his illusions.
As a member of the Soul Race, one of the three generals under Morell’s command, he knew that a Soul Race relic like the Soul Suppressing Orb could completely kill him.
Due to this, he finally showed signs of terror.
“I agree! I am willing to form a servant bond with you and serve with you as my master!” he screamed in terror.
“Too late.” Qin Lie shook his head.
The light released by the Soul Suppressing Orb suddenly shone towards Xillin’s Soul Tree.
“Whoosh!”
That unique Soul Tree turned into a black light and was immediately sucked into the bead.
Qin Lie blinked. The Soul Suppressing Orb sank back into his glabella.

Ming Xiao’s purple eyes shone bright. He said, “This thing can kill him completely?”
“I think so.” Qin Lie nodded.
“Splash splash…”
The water from the Profound Yin Nether Sea suddenly sank down after Xillin was pulled into the Soul Suppressing Orb.
The black water pond that Ming Xiao sealed with his purple blood turned into dark cavern in the blink of an eye.
The cavern headed towards the Profound Yin Nether Sea in Nether Realm.
“Do you need these two Soul Beasts?” Ming Xiao asked.
Qin Lie turned and looked at Malcolm and Latiff’s Soul Beast bodies. He said, “Yes.”
“Then never mind,” Ming Xiao said with slight regret.
“What is it?” Qin Lie asked.
“The Soul Beast puppets that the Soul Race have refined appear dead, but the energies of the Soul Beast are all preserved. The Soul Beasts that each Soul Race clansman has refined contain vast refined flesh and blood energy. The other four Demon Gods will awaken soon, they’ll need to restore their energy,” Ming Xiao said with a sigh.
“The other four Demon Gods?” Qin Lie said curiously.
Ming Xiao nodded and then said, “If you do not mind, I will return to Sky Bearing City now, and take you somewhere later?”
He pointed at the star door.
“Alright.” Qin Lie nodded.
“Your body should stay in Heavenly Yin Valley. You should seal the cavern towards the Profound Yin Nether Sea to avoid the phantoms in Heavenly Yin Valley from coming through in large numbers.” Ming Xiao looked at his Dark Soul Beast avatar.
“Oh.”
Qin Lie and Ming Xiao returned to Sky Bearing City through the star door, and then used the realm entrance of Sky Bearing City to head to another realm.
“Dark Natal Realm?”
Qin Lie was shocked when he followed Ming Xiao into this realm.
“Yes, this is Dark Natal Realm. The foreign races’ clansmen and evil beings you got from Qin Ye that the Blood Soul Beast consumed actually had been prepared by your grandfather for us,” Ming Xiao answered.
“For you?” Qin Lie was even more curious.

“Come here.” Ming Xiao grabbed him and then sprinted underground in Dark Natal Realm.
In the dark underground passageway, Ming Xiao led him through several invisible barriers.
“Poof poof!”
Every time they passed an invisible boundary, he would hear a strange sound.
Some time later, having passed through countless barriers, Ming Xiao suddenly stopped in a vast and empty cavern with him.
There were five enormous blood pools in the cavern. One of them was clean and had nothing inside.
Strong heartbeats came from the other four pools. He saw four bloody Abyss Devil corpses, and each of them had a powerful Abyss Devil heart beating there.
There was also shallow bloodwater in those blood pools. The enormous corpses seemed to be absorbing the bloodwater’s power and growing sinews.
“Three thousand years, the four of them have just grown their skeletons. Their organs, sinews, and heads need more physical power to recover.” Ming Xiao sighed. “Your grandfather spent all the physical power he gathered over the years on me so I was the first to wake up.”
“You…” Qin Lie halted.
“Back when Sky Mender Palace killed us and were taking care of our corpses, your grandfather asked for our hearts. Hua Tianqiong did not understand. He did not know that for us, who have the Abyss Devil Race bloodline, our hearts are more important than our cut-off heads. We, who were already rank ten Abyss Devils, still had intact hearts. We could be revived.”
Ming Xiao looked at the four blood pools. “If there is enough refined flesh and blood energy, we can rebuild our fleshly bodies. Our bones, sinews, and organs can all form.”
“If our Abyss Devil hearts are not destroyed, we are not truly dead and can be reborn.”
Qin Lie nodded. “So that’s how it is.”
He had visited Abyss levels and knew the core of the Abyss Devil’s power lay in their hearts.
The heart of the Abyss Devil was the gathering place of the Abyss Devil Race bloodline, and the source of their power.
A strong Abyss Devil’s most valuable part was the heart!
If the heart wasn’t destroyed, the Abyss Devil would not die. This wasn’t a secret in the Abyss.
“I hope that I can borrow your secret realm entrance connected to the Abyss to hunt some Abyss Devils before you go to God Realm,” Ming Xiao suddenly said..
Qin Lie’s expression changed. He said, “With your rank ten power, you will be challenged by rank ten great Abyss Devils in any level you appear in, and not just one.”
“I know.” Ming Xiao nodded. “But I do not want to continue waiting. The four of them… have slept too long. I want them to wake up as soon as possible.”
“My grandfather…”
“The old master is kind, and doesn’t allow me to do major things after my awakening. I could go to the Ancient Beast Race or the Giant Race to gain vast fleshly energy to help them recover.” Ming Xiao frowned. “In the past, he did not allow it. Now that all the races of Spirit Realm are obedient, I have even less of a chance. Other than the Abyss, I cannot find any other battlefield to help them wake up as fast as possible.”
“I know you are powerful but none of the rank ten Great Lords of the Abyss are easy to defeat,” Qin Lie said gravely.
“I will first move in the abyss passageway and not go to any level,” Ming Xiao said.
“Does my grandfather know your decision?”
“He does not.”
“I have an idea.”
“What.”
“The four great Beast Kings of the Ancient Beast Race have been itching to fight in the Abyss. The four of them are not as strong as you, but they are rank ten. With you as the leader and them as the vanguard, maybe you can try challenging a level. At the very least, you should be able to retreat unharmed when the situation turns bad.”
“Can you convince them to go with me?”
“Without you, they have no power to establish themselves in any Abyss level anyway.”
“Then try.”
“Alright.”

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
