One after another, true spiritual charms were formed along with Zong Shou’s intent. That soul ocean spiral swiftly got stronger and bigger. When the 99th true spiritual charm was formed, a rune whose color was indiscernible and seemed distinct suddenly floated out from within his soul ocean.
It was suddenly silver white, suddenly deep purple, then fiery red before turning into ice blue.
The moment it appeared, it wrapped up with the lightning, fire, water and metal runes. Numerous threads stretched out and connected these runes with one another.
Before this, the true spiritual charms that Zong Shou formed were all attracted over and added into this luck word true talisman, strengthening it and filling it up.
The color was still changing and dazzling, but 15 minutes later, that indistinct feeling had totally disappeared. It truly existed and appeared within his soul ocean.
It was actually located at the central position of the few true spiritual talismans but its size was the biggest. Zong Shou had to use 99 true spiritual charms to be able to form it. Its position was even higher than the other 4. It was like it was a king standing high above. It was also like the other 4 each represented a path which came out from its body.
Zong Shou immediately understood. The reason why it was so big was because this luck true talisman had more perfectly gathered up the rules and phenomenons of its path, even though there was a large part of it which he still hadn’t fully understood today.
The reason why its position was higher was because the law itself was naturally above the other 4 talismans.
As for those densely packed threads, it represented the close relationship between one another. The various abilities and functions of this luck word apparently needed other laws to show itself.
The moment this true spiritual talisman was truly formed, the entire soul ocean whirlpool once again crazily expanded.
Pretty much all his soul power was splitting up continuously. Its quality was continuously upgrading and refining, becoming more and more pure.
Be it the expansion speed or the purification speed of the soul power, it could be compared to when he went from the Out of Body realm to the night wandering realm. Close to the actual rise in quality and essence.
Numerous heaven and earth spiritual energy was being swept up by that heaven swallowing energy conversion technique.
Some of the impurities were removed, and only the most pure essence was merged into it. Within this whirlpool, they seemed to have formed many small patterns similar to spiritual veins, separately connected with those 5 true spiritual talismans. The ends of which spread out in all directions like a spiderweb, stretching out within his soul ocean, absorbing spiritual energy and injecting into those 5 true spiritual talismans.
At that moment, Zong Shou’s heart was like a huge wave. His emotions couldn’t calm down.
…Within his soul ocean, forming spiritual veins was something that should be only done after one reached the Return to Sun realm.
However, at this moment, he had just formed one luck word true talisman and he had already achieved it. His current spirit master cultivation was only at the night wandering realm!
The 5 thin small spiritual links in his soul ocean was obviously in the shape of spiritual veins.
When a martial artist cultivated, he first trained the body, the internal organs, the skin, bones and tendons. After, he strengthened the vital energy to the extreme, then he would focus on the soul. A spirit master was totally opposite, first cultivating soul power through using various methods to strengthen the soul. His soul had to be able to turn from Ying to Yang, allowing him to use the purest spiritual energy to shape a true form. At this step, they could even toss aside their physical bodies.
However be it spirit masters or martial artists, they all needed to merge spiritual veins. The only difference was that spirit masters merged it through talismans and god talismans whilst martial cultivators used their body chakra meridians as a vessel. The former needed to reach a certain level to form it on his own strength. The latter only needed to search for naturally forming spiritual veins to merge into his body.
Each had its pros and cons, and it’s difficult to debate who is better. However the first few stages of a spirit master were indeed really weak, but they had an array of skills. When they trained up to higher realms, they could even use all the heaven and earth energy as their own.
Although martial cultivators were strong early, at the later stages, if they were unable to comprehend deep martial path intent, the moment they fought spirit masters, they would have no way to fight back.
Moreover, spirit masters who successfully formed spiritual veins and spirit masters who hadn’t formed spiritual veins had a huge gap between them.
At this moment, even Zong Shou couldn’t understand how these spiritual veins within his soul ocean were formed. They were forming up by themselves without needing his control. He only knew that the spiritual energy at the deepest parts of the soul ocean whirlpool was extremely pure, showing signs of turning to Yang.
…at this moment, in terms of quantity, his soul naturally couldn’t be compared to return to sun realm spirit masters. However, in terms of quality he was no different!
“A pure soul is naturally one of the reasons to be able to form a spiritual vein. However, the main reason is due to the heaven swallowing energy conversion technique. This cultivation method is really special. Taking from what heaven and earth have in excess to make up for what you lack. Who exactly created it? In my eyes, this technique is no weaker than those two universe and eon books…”
Zong Shou went his consciousness high above his soul ocean, looking down and feeling. Those 5 Then he swept his mind at the 12 god talismans at the sides.
These god talisman seeds also had a huge effect. Whilst helping him purify soul power, they were also purifying the various kinds of spiritual energy within his soul ocean.
After this short distraction, Zong Shou once again kept his thoughts and focused on the expansion of the soul ocean as well as the splitting of the soul power.
Spiritual energy raged within the entire whirlpool. Above was water and flames wrapping around, numerous lightning frantically flashing. The whirlpool was close to double when it did finally stop.
The changes within his soul was far from that.
At that moment Zong Shou’s soul power had increased by a total of 6 times! However, when his consciousness slowly awaken, he looked right away at the 12 god talisman seeds on the outside. In just one night, the water, fire and metal god talismans were pulled closer. However, the closest one was still that luck god talisman.
What Zong Shou felt regretful about was that he was actually only lacking one step before he could totally merge with that god talisman. However, he wasn’t able to do so probably because he didn’t have enough understanding of its laws.
However, this matter couldn’t be forced. He was already really satisfied since he was able to comprehend it under such lucky circumstances and form the 5th and most mysterious true spiritual talisman.
Observing his soul ocean, Zong Shou felt even more surprised.
“With my current soul power, even if I go up against those Return to Sun realm spirit masters it is still possible!”
What made him delighted was the one origin sword at the center of the soul ocean.
It had totally removed the outer layer shell of energy which was covering it, the entire sword was revealed.
It’s color was still seven coloured and changing but it was much brighter and it seemed extremely sharp!
This was a sign of going from a sword embryo into a sword!
Who knows was it because of that luck word talisman being formed, but the entire sword body gave off a really mysterious aura.
“…now I have already formed lightning, water, fire, metal and luck 5 talismans, the next step would be to form the wind talisman. Once it is formed my combat strength would definitely double! No…”
His heart suddenly jumped as he sent his mind to the deepest area of the soul ocean, a spiritual light flashed suddenly.
“It really isn’t correct! Heaven swallowing energy conversion. The talisman I should form should be the swallow word!”
With such a thought, his entire soul ocean shook. Pretty much naturally, there were many true spiritual charms which appeared at the center of his soul ocean.
There were actually 40 odd of them. Although he was unable to form a new talisman, it strengthened his soul ocean whirlpool by much more.
Zong Shou was joyous and knew that this was because his cultivation fit with the heaven path. However, he still felt that something was wrong. It was like he was lacking something and there was a huge problem.
After thinking for a long while he finally had some ideas.
“It is still wrong! I heard that in the ancient times there were 15-16 god beasts who had the ability to swallow and absorb heaven and earth, but they all died badly, lost their senses, or their bodies exploded. Only 3 of them managed to survive. Amongst which I can take a look at that Wanxiang. So apart from the swallow word, there is also the purify word. These 2 true talismans should be formed at the same time!”
Pretty much at the same time his soul ocean changed once more. Not only was it more exciting than before, but his soul ocean whirlpool also expanded once more. At the center of which tens of true spiritual charms appeared from nowhere.
Zong Shou was really tempted to try to form these 2 true spiritual talismans at the same time.
However, the moment he had such a thought, he only felt like he was filled with exhaustion.
Moreover, there was an invisible layer which was preventing him from going further.
Thinking about it, Zong Shou knew that it was him already shaking his own foundations.
This night of cultivation could be compared to months of meditation. With his current situation, it indeed couldn’t support his climb upwards.
He decisively decided to give up. And when he opened his eyes, there seemed to be lightning flashing within his eyes.
Within the room, it was filled with vast spiritual energy.
Chuxue and Ruoshui looked over with a weird expression on their faces.
Chuxue was astonished,”Young master how did you advance out of no where? Didn’t you just form a true spiritual talisman a few days ago?”
She spoke with a dejected tone. As expected from what young master said, she was just trash that knew how to eat. Her young master was getting strong so fast, so how would he need her in the future? She would only be a burden.
