On this night, all was silent in the Ocean of Ten Thousand Waves.
In the unlit room, a clump of eerie blue flame burned solemnly.
The flames were like countless worlds, filled with a myriad of lives, struggling as if trying to flee from the excruciating hell.
At the heart of the flame, there was a bright blue fire, clear as glass.
The Taoist priest's skills were not deep enough, it took him five years to assimilate these souls. The fusion process would take more than a decade.
Aubree Groove had to first strip them apart, then guide them towards reincarnation. She could not be interrupted during this process and needed to retreat for forty-nine days.
However, she was currently entangled in worldly affairs, and couldn't simply retreat. She had to take advantage of the late-night hours when yin energy was the strongest to strip the souls apart one by one. Not only was this time-consuming, but it was also a significant drain on her spiritual power.
