As the Universe Turns - Chapter 328
Chapter 328 Spiritual Origin Seizure (2)
“Ah … Brother Wu Chen, why are you so kind!”
Xu Hao didn’t know if he was praising him or scolding him. After he finished speaking, he went to plunder the spirit source elsewhere. Xiao Chen didn’t hesitate like before. He swept his divine sense and knew where the spirit source would leak out. Before the spirit source was fully condensed, the Spirit Gathering Talisman had already flown over to collect it.
After an incense stick of time passed, dozens of Spirit Gathering Talismans filled with Spirit Sources had already appeared in his hand, and Xu Hao only had a few hidden in his sleeve. He couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up, “Brother Wu Chen, you really are a divine being! But …”
At this point, he forcefully blinked his eyes and whispered, “Please don’t be so high-profile. Can you hide the Spirit Gathering Talisman in your sleeve first?”
Only then did Xiao Chen notice that many unkind gazes were cast from all directions. They were all looking at the pile of Spirit Gathering Talismans in his hand. The Spirit Sources in the valley had almost all been restrained by him. How could these people not be angry?
A bearded man immediately shouted angrily, “Brat! Which village are you from? You’re so arrogant! Look at your pile of Spirit Gathering Talismans! Why don’t you give us some of your Spirit Source?”
Xiao Chen ignored these people. Instead, he was thinking that the Spiritual Energy of these spiritual sources were not only mellow, but also very pure. If he brought them back, would he be able to cure Wei Yang?
However, he probably didn’t know that if Hua Weiyang really was a once-in-a-lifetime Profound Yin Body, then even the spirit source of the entire Yi Kingdom wouldn’t be enough to change her fate for the sake of defying the heavens, let alone the spirit source in this small valley.
Right at this moment, the depths of the valley suddenly trembled violently. Following which, streaks of profound light soared into the sky. Obviously, there was a large amount of spirit energy leaking out. When everyone saw this, they no longer cared about Xiao Chen and immediately rushed towards the depths of the valley.
“Brother Wu Chen! Let’s go!”
Xu Hao pulled him and quickly followed the crowd into the valley.
Inside, there were indeed many more spirit sources than outside. Xu Hao was overjoyed and was about to take out the Spirit Gathering Talisman when Xiao Chen suddenly stopped him, “Wait!”
“What’s the matter?”
Seeing that he had stopped him, Xu Hao looked at him in confusion.
“The people from the Orthodox Church are here. Hurry up and leave!”
Without saying a word, Xiao Chen didn’t want to have any conflict with Yi Country. He immediately pulled Xu Hao up the valley.
Xu Hao saw that the spirit source in the valley was shining like a mortal seeing a mountain of gold. How could he be willing to leave? He hurriedly said, “There are no people from the Orthodox Church. There are a lot of spirit sources down there. If you miss them, there will be no more. Don’t leave …”
Before he could finish speaking, an extremely strong Nascent Soul aura suddenly came from the distant horizon, causing him to tremble deeply. Damn, there really were people from the Orthodox Church.
“Stop!”
A loud scolding came from the horizon, followed by two purple-clothed elders who instantly arrived at the top of the valley. Everyone below did not expect the Orthodox Nascent Soul cultivators to suddenly appear. At this moment, they were completely unprepared, and all of them were in a state of panic.
In the next instant, the purple-clothed old man on the left raised his palm. The power of the Nascent Soul instantly enveloped the heavens and earth. Within a radius of tens of kilometers, it was enveloped by this powerful Nascent Soul. No one could escape!
“Shit …”
Xu Hao’s expression changed drastically. However, the moment the purple-clothed old man’s Nascent Soul power enveloped him, the White Nascent Soul within Xiao Chen’s body also instantly sensed it, causing the two of them to not be bound by any Nascent Soul Laws!
In the next moment, Xu Hao’s face was as ashen as death. Before he could react, Xiao Chen had already instantly cast his Instant Step Cosmos and escaped a hundred miles away with him.
In this valley, the old man on the left had taken everyone into the Zifu Nascent Soul Realm, while the old man on the right had used his Nascent Soul Divine Ability to repair the Spiritual Energy crack in the valley.
After a while, the surrounding Spiritual Energy gradually dissipated. The old man on the right looked at the old man on the left. “I just ran two of them.”
“Mm …”
The old man on the left nodded his head. At this moment, his expression became exceptionally solemn. The old man on the right saw his solemn expression and said, “That person’s speed is so fast that he was actually able to escape your Nascent Soul confinement. He must have used some sort of magic treasure.”
“Mm …”
The old man on the left nodded again, as if he hadn’t heard anything at all. He muttered to himself, “That person isn’t from the Yi Kingdom, much less from the Mortal Cultivation Domain.”
“What do you mean?”
The old man on the right did not quite understand, and his expression became serious. At this moment, the old man on the left raised his head and looked at him, saying word by word, “It was not that he was fast and escaped my Nascent Soul confinement, but …”
When he said this, his body involuntarily trembled, “He is not bound by my Nascent Soul Laws at all …”
“What!”
The old man on the right suddenly shook and almost fell from mid-air. He looked at the other party in disbelief, “Are you sure? Ignoring your Nascent Soul Laws … Then, could that be Soul Formation …” His eyes were filled with fear as he said this.
“Soul Formation xiuzhe …”
The old man on the left trembled involuntarily. He could condense a Nascent Soul if his cultivation reached the level of Soul Refining Void. However, there was no need to say anything else about this difficulty. Some people were unable to condense a Nascent Soul in their entire lives. No matter how high their cultivation was, it was useless. Therefore, as long as they did not condense a Nascent Soul, they could not be called Nascent Soul Cultivators.
The same goes for Soul Formation. Once one reaches the Void Refinement and Dao Harmonization Realm, one will have the chance to cultivate Soul Formation. At that time, one will be able to transform into three. The avatar will still possess the strength of the original body, be able to control it from 10,000 kilometers away, and also have an autonomous consciousness. This is called Soul Formation.
However, cultivators at the Void Refining and Dao Harmonization Realm were not only thousands of times harder to cultivate into a Nascent Soul than cultivators at the Void Refining and Dao Harmonization Realm, they were even harder to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, reach the Profound Enlightenment Realm, and reach the Lower Profound Realm!
In their entire lives, apart from seeing an Immortal Alliance messenger who was a Soul Formation cultivator a hundred years ago, they had never seen any Soul Formation cultivators again. And when they saw a Soul Formation cultivator, their memories were still fresh. That aura, that pressure, seemed to crush them alive, like the pressure a mortal would feel when facing a Nascent Soul cultivator!
“How could he be a Soul Formation cultivator? Even if he was, he was only an avatar and didn’t want to reveal his identity. That’s why he just left so quickly. Is that so?”
The two of them looked at each other. At this moment, what truly made them tremble and uneasy was not just that the other party might be a Soul Formation cultivator, but how could a Soul Formation cultivator appear in the Mortal Realm for no reason? This time, Yi Country’s spiritual energy leaked out. Could it be that someone was controlling it from behind …
“Hurry up and go back! We must inform the sect master of this matter immediately!”
The two of them instantly activated their Wind Riding Technique and disappeared into the boundless horizon.
At this moment, in a mountain forest a hundred miles away, Xiao Chen landed in the forest. Even with his current cultivation, he could only use Instant Step Cosmos once a day, or even once every few days.
“Wu … Wu Chen … No, Senior …”
At this moment, Xu Hao looked at him with horror on his face. He swallowed hard and tried his best to calm himself down. He asked in a trembling voice, “Senior, who exactly is he?”
Xiao Chen looked at him silently. This was the first friend he had ever met in the Eastern Continent. He didn’t want to create any distance because of his cultivation. He said indifferently, “I just used a ‘Instant Thousand Miles Talisman’. Why are you so nervous? No wonder you’re called a mouse.”
