Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 1936
1936 Soul Restricted Area’s Ambition, Soul Materialization, Meeting Daoist Progenitor Again
Back in the Soul Restricted Area of the Pan Gu Universe, Chu Kuangren spent years going through everything in the library and transferred all the knowledge to Heavenly Sword Chu Kuangren.
Anyone else other than Chu Kuangren might suffer an implosion of knowledge when receiving such a massive amount of mystic knowledge and memories.
However, Chu Kuangren was not worried at all.
“Heavenly Sword, you are me. How could you let me down?” Chu Kuangren’s lips curled into a smile.
A while later, he exited the library and ventured deeper into the Soul Restricted Area. His actions attracted the attention of the residents.
“What is he trying to do?”
“He’s heading in that direction. Could it be… Damn it!”
The Blue Ocean Tribe Master’s expression shifted, and he quickly followed Chu Kuangren.
Soon, Chu Kuangren arrived in front of a cave deep inside the Soul Restricted Area. The cave was surrounded by countless mystical runes and restriction seals.
After spending years in the library, Chu Kuangren identified the restriction seals as the strongest and smartest restriction seals in the Restricted Area.
At least an Embodier cultivator was required to set up such a high-level restriction seal.
In other words, there must be an Embodier inside the cave.
Chu Kuangren was not surprised at all.
The Soul Restricted Area was one of the strongest forces in Pan Gu Universe, so it was not convincing enough that they only had one Embodier.
Even the Immortal Hall had a few.
“Immortal King, what are you doing here?” The Blue Ocean Tribe Master caught up to him and asked diligently.
Chu Kuangren did not answer the question. Instead, he looked at the cave and said, “Since I’m here, why don’t you come out and welcome my presence?”
He swung his sleeve, releasing the powerful aura of the Immortal King.
Kaboom!
The cave trembled.
“Please forgive my manners,” an indifferent voice spoke.
A withered and skinny old man came out from the cave and bowed politely at Chu Kuangren.
“The things you have inside the cave, are they fun?” Chu Kuangren asked.
The old man’s expression changed. He feigned a calm look and explained, “I wonder what you might be referring to, Immortal King?”
“Soul Materialization and Soul Dao Contamination.”
Chu Kuangren’s words surprised the old man.
He stared at Chu Kuangren, seemingly in disbelief.
“Do you want me to explain it further?” Chu Kuangren asked.
“You knew?”
Soul Materialization was the ultimate goal of the Restricted Area. No matter how strong a soul was, a soul was a soul, and it required a physical body to exist.
The Soul Restricted Area wanted to realize the concept of discarding the physical body and existing in the world in soul form.
It was a vast and ambitious idea.
The Soul Restricted Area had been chasing after that ideal for countless years, yet it bore little to no fruit. It was until they discovered the Dao contamination qi.
They grew audacious and came up with the idea of extracting the Great Dao’s energy from the Dao contamination qi to realize Soul Materialization. After all, the Great Dao’s energy was the most mystical energy source in the universe.
The Soul Restricted Area studied that subject for countless years.
“Your soul has been contaminated by the Dao contamination qi for long enough. Judging from your withered body, your days are numbered,” Chu Kuangren said to the old man.
After going through the library of books, he knew about the Soul Materialization and understood the experiment the old man had been conducting.
It was a great idea indeed, but the reality remained harsh.
Even after countless years of studies and experiments, the Soul Restricted Area failed to achieve it.
The Embodier before him used his own body as an experiment subject and forcefully absorbed the Dao contamination qi.
However, his years of research had put his life on the line.
His silence was the most obvious answer.
“You really are arrogant enough to siphon energy from the Great Dao,” Chu Kuangren grunted coldly.
Then, he walked closer to the old man.
Daoist laws swirled around him and instantly sealed the entire area.
“What? Have you achieved the Embodier Realm?” the Blue Ocean Tribe Master cried out in shock.
Even the old man was forced to be cautious.
He realized from the moment Chu Kuangren’s Dao appeared that the Dao contamination qi inside him grew restless as if they were afraid of him.
He had studied the Dao contamination qi for many years but had never seen such a strong reaction in it.
What was going on?
“You better not resist,” Chu Kuangren said.
The Daoist laws around him transformed into chains that restrained the old man.
The old man hesitated for a moment before deciding to do as told as the unusual reaction from the Dao contamination qi intrigued him.
He wanted to know what caused it.
Chu Kuangren stretched his hand at the old man, and an explosive absorption force erupted.
It was the Heavenly Devouring Daoist Art.
The Dao devouring art that was specifically used against the Heavenly Dao worked wonders against the Dao Contamination qi.
Soon, a large amount of black qi erupted from the old man’s body. They were then restrained by the Daoist law and absorbed by Chu Kuangren into his body.
The old man instantly felt relieved, as if a mountain was lifted off his shoulder. He felt never felt so relaxed before.
Boom!
Then, black qi rumbled inside the cave.
The Dao contamination qi in the cave sensed Chu Kuangren’s arrival and wanted to escape, but the restriction seals were restraining them.
“Open the restriction seals. I’m going in,” Chu Kuangren said.
The old man no longer suspected him after what he did.
Once the restriction seals were lifted, Chu Kuangren’s Daoist law energy rumbled again.
A while later, all the remaining Dao contamination qi were sealed inside his body.
“Rather than researching the fake hope of Soul Materialization and wasting your Embodier’s cultivation here, why not help out at the Void Battlefield?” Chu Kuangren said before he left.
The old man felt defeated while watching Chu Kuangren leave.
He had studied the subject for his entire life, and it was taken away by Chu Kuangren just like that.
However, he was not mad because he knew the topic was beyond his capabilities.
In fact, what Chu Kuangren did saved his life.
“I spent countless years studying something I couldn’t control, and the Immortal King took them away like it was nothing. Who are you exactly?” The old man could not help but sigh.
Then, he looked at the cave behind him and said to the Blue Ocean Tribe Master, “I’ll leave the Soul Restricted Area to you. I’m going to the Void Battlefield for a little exercise.”
“Yes, Forefather,” the Blue Ocean Tribe Master said respectfully.
…
After dealing with the Dao contamination qi across multiple locations in the Immortal World, Chu Kuangren left the Immortal World to meet the Dao Progenitor.
They met on the same ancient planet as the last time, and the Dao Progenitor was floating in the sky of the planet with his legs crossed and countless Daoist laws floating around him.
He was a little surprised when he saw Chu Kuangren. Then, his eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile, “Congratulations, Brother Chu.”
“It’s just a little improvement.”
Chu Kuangren did not get carried away by his breakthrough into the Embodier Realm.
He explained, “Dao Progenitor, I’m here to talk to you about the Dao contamination qi.”
The Dao Progenitor pondered for a moment before he said, “I already had a hunch about your visit.”
He then pointed at Chu Kuangren, inserting a sliver of Immortal Consciousness into the latter’s body.
Inside Chu Kuangren’s body, the silver of Immortal Consciousness transformed into a sea of information, but some of it was concealed.
Although Chu Kuangren could not read them for now, he could learn about the seals regarding the Dao contamination qi.
