This soul stone is taller than a person, so it's naturally impossible for Jiang Wei to stuff it into his pocket and take it away like he did earlier.

"Depressing!" Jiang Wei now feels as if he sees a piece of gold on the ground that he can pick up, but it turns out to be too large for him to move!

"Should I smash it and take some away?" Jiang Wei immediately rejected this idea. Such a large soul stone, if smashed, would definitely cause a massive loss of energy, which would be a waste; besides, soul stones are extremely tough, and it's not easy to smash them!

"Maybe I should just leave it here for now and come back to move it when I need it..." Jiang Wei thought. This soul stone mine is currently known only to him, so it's quite safe to leave it here; of course, Jiang Wei is also worried that if other ghosts discover this place, it would be a tragedy.

However, at the moment, Jiang Wei doesn't seem to have a better solution!

"Let's explore further down; there should be more soul stones. If there are smaller ones, I'll take a few back!" Jiang Wei has already considered this place his private property, and he's not willing to smash the large soul stones.

As he delved deeper, the soul stones he saw became increasingly dense. Along the way, Jiang Wei saw hundreds of large soul stones and countless small ones—this is just the area he could see; beyond his field of vision, there are probably even more soul stones.

"This soul stone mine is truly a priceless treasure!" Jiang Wei even doubts whether he can handle the entire mine by himself.

"Hmph, the timid die of hunger, the bold die of overeating! As long as I don't tell any ghosts, I don't believe any ghost will know!" Originally, Jiang Wei was hesitant about whether to tell Li Hao, Er Dan, and the others, but now he has decided—too many people mean too many mouths, and walls have ears; it's better not to say anything if he can avoid it.

As for his master, Elder Bai, Jiang Wei isn't planning to tell him for the time being.

Without a doubt, Elder Bai has the ability to protect this mine; but Jiang Wei has only met Elder Bai a few times and can't fully trust him yet. This is a significant matter, so Jiang Wei feels it's best not to tell any ghosts at all!

The deeper he goes underground, the more soul stones Jiang Wei sees; eventually, he becomes numb—there are just too many!

Jiang Wei has only explored a small part of the soul stone mine, yet he has already seen countless soul stones. Jiang Wei even wonders if the soul stones in the entire mine are enough to help him directly cultivate into a Ghost Immortal...

What a great encounter!

In the Ghost Realm, there are always some lucky ghosts who encounter great opportunities; clearly, Jiang Wei has now encountered one of these great opportunities.

Unconsciously, Jiang Wei has already burrowed thousands of meters deep underground. It is pitch black underground, and only those who have reached the Insight Realm can see anything here; if it were a ghost who hadn't reached the Insight Realm, they would see nothing but darkness.

"Should I just head back? After all, even if I figure out how many soul stones are here, it doesn't really matter to me; I just need to know that there are a lot of soul stones here!" Jiang Wei pondered.

But just then, Jiang Wei suddenly saw a wall emitting a faint glow not far ahead.

"A glowing wall?" Jiang Wei was taken aback; and he felt that this glow seemed very familiar.

"Hmm!?" Jiang Wei was stunned and took out a small soul stone from his pocket.

At this sight, Jiang Wei instantly froze: "This... this..." Jiang Wei was shocked to discover that the glow from the wall was exactly the same as the glow from the soul stone.

Could it be... a very, very large soul stone?

Because it's so large, when he saw this soul stone, it looked like a wall to him.

"How big is this soul stone..." Jiang Wei couldn't even imagine.

Jiang Wei felt that standing next to this soul stone was like an ant standing next to a towering tree. The soul stone was so large that it even gave Jiang Wei a strong sense of oppression.

It's so large that it's terrifying!

Jiang Wei couldn't resist burrowing along the soul stone to see how big it really was! As a ghost cultivator at the peak of the Divine Understanding stage, even burrowing underground, his speed was not slow; he could advance hundreds of meters every quarter of an hour. However, after a quarter of an hour, Jiang Wei found that he still couldn't determine the size of the soul stone.

"Damn, could this soul stone be thousands of meters large?" Jiang Wei couldn't help but curse under his breath.

Of course, the larger the soul stone, the happier Jiang Wei would be; after all, he has already considered the entire mine his own.

"I don't believe I can't figure out its size!" Jiang Wei continued to burrow madly.

Finally, after an hour, the scene in front of Jiang Wei changed; instead of a huge soul stone, he saw... a gate over a hundred meters tall.

"Is this... an Immortal Mansion?"

Other than "Immortal Mansion," Jiang Wei couldn't find a better term to describe what he saw.

The gate was magnificent, covered with strange runes; on the plaque above the gate, there were several characters that Jiang Wei had never seen before.

Although Jiang Wei didn't recognize these characters, he felt an overwhelmingly powerful pressure coming from them. The pressure was like a tsunami, battering his weak soul.

Boom!!

Boom!!

Jiang Wei even felt that he might be shattered by this pressure at any moment.

"Too strong..." Jiang Wei quickly moved his gaze away from the characters.

As soon as he moved his gaze, the overwhelming pressure that had been acting on Jiang Wei instantly disappeared without a trace.

"Phew... Phew..." Jiang Wei took several deep breaths.

Although he only felt the pressure for a few seconds, it felt like an eternity. Even now that the pressure is gone, Jiang Wei still feels a lingering sense of fear.

"The owner of this Immortal Mansion must be a very great being!" Thinking of this, Jiang Wei's eyes burned with excitement.

Encountering the Immortal Mansion of a great being is truly a great opportunity! If the great being is still living in the mansion and is willing to give him some guidance, it would be immensely beneficial to him!

Thinking this, Jiang Wei was about to knock on the door.

But just as he was about to knock, his hand paused.

"What if this great being is a malevolent one? What should I do then?" Some malevolent beings are unpredictable; if they don't like being disturbed, they could easily destroy Jiang Wei with a single gesture.

Encountering the Immortal Mansion of a great being is indeed a great opportunity, but it is also extremely dangerous—because, in front of a great being, your life is not your own!

As Jiang Wei hesitated about whether to knock on the door, the gate of the Immortal Mansion suddenly emitted a brilliant light, enveloping Jiang Wei. When the light dissipated, Jiang Wei was nowhere to be seen.

PS: One update today. I'm now 10 chapters behind, so I'll just slap myself... I've been really busy lately, but once this busy period is over, I'll make up for it as soon as possible...
