Chapter 558: Chapter 502: Origin of the Soul Suppressing Pearl

Chu Chen rubbed his chin and said in a deep voice, "One last question, Sun Wenshan is a part of the God Pursuit Sect?"

Zhao Qingzhu laughed suddenly upon hearing this, her laughter was ethereal and sounded very pleasant, but to Chu Chen, it was extremely grating.

"Is it really that funny?" Chu Chen asked with a frown.

Zhao Qingzhu maintained her smile but waved her hand and said, "No, don’t misunderstand, Sun Wenshan is the strongest in the Alliance, and he is even more obsessed with becoming a god than we are, we wouldn’t dare provoke such a person."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen’s expression eased slightly, but with humanity’s situation being so dire, this group was still fixated on becoming gods, and while they weren’t a threat to humanity, their behavior was somewhat selfish.

Chu Chen rubbed his chin in thought for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "I can agree to temporarily take on the role of Sect Leader, but it will only be a cooperative relationship, regarding the internal affairs of the sect, you’ll handle those yourself."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingzhu immediately showed delight and quickly changed her tone, "Rest assured Sect Leader, with me here, you won’t be troubled."

Chu Chen shook his head upon hearing this and said coldly, "Accepting me as Sect Leader now is a bit premature, I must remind you if there ever comes a day when the God Pursuit Sect harms humanity, I will not consider past affiliations."

"Rest assured, we in the God Pursuit Sect are only interested in becoming gods, we will not get involved in other matters."

Hearing this, Chu Chen furrowed his brow, this group of people was truly crazy. If humanity perished, the God Pursuit Sect would naturally disappear as well; it was truly puzzling to understand their thoughts.

Chu Chen slightly shook his head and inquired about the matters the other party had mentioned earlier.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzhu raised her hand and conjured a semi-circular shield using Soul Power, isolating everyone else from Chu Chen.

Seeing this, Chu Chen said nothing more and quietly observed the other party.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzhu no longer hid anything and immediately said, "According to ancient records, within the ruins of this Soul Suppressing Abyss, lies a wondrous treasure called the Soul Suppressing Pearl. Its effects are similar to the Soul Suppressing Stone, but its soul-suppressing power is far more terrifying, with a much wider radiation range."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen revealed a look of shock. If used well, this Soul Suppressing Pearl could indeed be a formidable weapon. However, he suppressed his inner agitation and continued to ask, "Do you know the origin of this Soul Suppressing Pearl?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingzhu nodded and said, "The Soul Suppressing Pearl comes from an Eighth-Level Secret Realm. At the time, that Secret Realm was already on the brink of collapse. Later, a large battle ensued between us humans and the Star Beasts, ultimately leading to the complete collapse of the Secret Realm. Over ninety percent of the Star Beasts and human strongmen who entered died, and even the survivors were severely injured and near death. The final collapse of the Secret Realm occurred within this Soul Suppressing Abyss."

Hearing this, Chu Chen finally understood. He figured that the ancient records were likely left by the survivors from back then, but since there were records, why had no one sought the Soul Suppressing Pearl all these years?

Without thinking much more, Chu Chen directly asked the question on his mind.

Zhao Qingzhu seemed prepared and immediately responded to Chu Chen’s query, "The person who wrote these ancient records was the third generation Sect Leader of our God Pursuit Sect. At that time, only two humans escaped from that Secret Realm. However, the other person’s injuries were too severe, and they survived only three days after exiting the realm, while the third-generation Sect Leader lived for only half a year. The reason for the delay in seeking it was because shortly after the Secret Realm’s collapse, the Alliance was formed, and they established the renowned Soul Suppressing Abyss here. With the death of our third-generation Sect Leader, disputes arose, and as things settled down, the matter gradually faded from memory. I came across this treasure by chance, which is why I am intent on finding it now."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen suddenly realized that his knowledge of this matter was indeed lucky.

Currently, Zhao Qingzhu was of great use to him, and his strength far surpassed hers, he figured that she wouldn’t attempt anything foolish against him.

With this in mind, Chu Chen didn’t hesitate further, he leapt back onto the back of Unyielding and said in a deep voice, "Let’s go, let’s take a look at the mystical properties of that Soul Suppressing Pearl." With that, Unyielding headed towards the bottom of the Soul Suppressing Abyss.

Seeing this, Lei Yao and the other beasts also followed suit.

Zhao Qingzhu and Shi Feng followed immediately.

Moments later, Chu Chen and the others returned to the Soul Suppressing Abyss.

At this time, Wang Chengyu had already brought over all the personnel that needed to be taken away according to the previously set list.

Seeing this, Chu Chen said in a deep voice, "Now, I offer you two paths: first, follow me and I will lead you to higher realms, with no lack of cultivation resources; second, you may choose to leave on your own, but if you make any mistakes, I will personally come after your life."

As Chu Chen’s words fell, Lei Yao and Nirvana let out a roar, releasing all their auras.

The terrifying Emperor Level aura instantly spread throughout the crowd.

Everyone felt their knees weaken and fell to the ground, their eyes filled with terror.

"This is Emperor Level, how is this possible? An Emperor Level expert at such a young age is unheard of."

"Indeed, it is the aura of Emperor Level Guardian Beasts."

"To possess two Emperor Level Guardian Beasts at such a young age, the potential is simply terrifying."

Chu Chen looked at the whispering crowd, his expression extremely calm.

The release of the beasts’ auras was naturally at Chu Chen’s behest, intending to showcase his prowess, letting these people understand his strength and potential. If they were still unwilling to follow, they would have to leave.

Moments later, ninety percent of the people chose to follow Chu Chen. If they had previously sought to follow, the other party might not have agreed, but now this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity lay before them, how could they refuse?

As for the remaining ten percent, most were elderly and frail, having lost the desire to contend after years of imprisonment, and with the chance to regain freedom, they naturally wished to enjoy their twilight years.

Chu Chen had Wang Chengyu conduct a thorough check and once confirmed they were of good character, allowed Wang Chengyu to lead them out of the Soul Suppressing Abyss.

"Sir, take us away, we swear to follow to the death," a fierce-looking man feigned sincerity as he spoke.

Chu Chen shook his head upon hearing this and said, "Letting you go will only bring disaster to humanity, you’d better stay here in peace."

"Sir, we don’t want to die like this, please give us a chance to atone."

Chu Chen glanced at them; their realms were all above King Level—leaving them to fend for themselves would indeed be a waste.

"Very well, I can give you a chance to live, go to the Redemption Camp, if you accumulate enough military merits, it will be as if fate has spared you."

Upon hearing this, the men’s faces turned grim. The Redemption Camp was essentially a suicide squad, with a pitifully low survival rate, but they had no other choice and could only brace themselves to accept.

Thus, all prisoners of the Soul Suppressing Abyss were finally settled, and the Soul Suppressing Abyss was no longer a prison.
