1418 A Familiar Place

Now that no banished souls dared to approach him, Yuan found traveling the Shadow Realm much more relaxed. However, it didn't mean it was a leisure journey, as he had to focus on controlling the amount of soul strength he exuded.

If he exuded too much, it might hurt the banished souls, causing them to rampage, but if it's too weak, it would not keep them away. Moreover, he had to be careful with such an act entirely, as it could easily backfire and damage his soul.

Fortunately for him, his soul cultivation technique Heaven's Indomitable Soul constantly recovered his soul strength, or else he wouldn't have been able to use such a method.

Several days later, Yuan still wandered the Shadow Realm without any clue as to his location.

However, he noticed the banished souls growing stronger and stronger, requiring him to use more soul strength to keep them away.

'At the rate their strength is growing, I won't be able to keep up in another week or so…' Yuan thought to himself.

Three days later, Yuan noticed another city in the distance. He immediately approached it.

Upon entering the city, none of the banished souls dared to follow him past the city walls, almost as though they were forbidden from doing so.

Yet, Yuan was unable to sense anything odd around the city—

nothing that could explain why the banished souls refused to enter the city.

He thought there was a formation around the city that kept the banished souls away, but he couldn't sense anything like that. Even if it was a powerful level 9 formation, he should still be able to sense it to a certain extent.

Since he didn't have to worry about the banished souls appearing in the city, Yuan took this time to recover his soul strength and take a break.

Once he fully recovered, Yuan did not immediately continue his journey and flew into the air to examine the city.
