Traveling to distant space was just a piece of cake for the Leoux, but 2.78 million light-years was still too far a distance.
The distance was so great that it took the Leoux a few days to reach its destination.
While the Leoux flew in the vacuum of space, Ling Jiu approached the self-cultivation room.
There were many self-cultivation rooms aboard the Leoux, and they were divided into five levels:
Primary self-cultivation rooms.
Intermediate self-cultivation rooms.
Advanced self-cultivation rooms.
Primary self-cultivation rooms.
Premier self-cultivation rooms.
Special self-cultivation rooms.
There was a rich concentration of Dark bio-energy in the self-cultivation room, and cultivators could access the book of laws at any time, making self-cultivation highly effective.
Of course, the greatest value of the self-cultivation rooms lay in the flow of time.
As the top bio-energy civilization in the universe, the Emissian civilization was still in the early stages of studying the Law of Time. Nonetheless, it could completely control time locally.
Just like being around a white hole, the flow of time in the self-cultivation rooms at each level was different. The primary level was the slowest, the special level was the fastest, and the special level had the best self-cultivation effect.
As the owner of the Leoux, Ling Jiu could enter the special self-cultivation room. He was in no hurry to practice self-cultivation.
Instead, he looked into himself, letting his mind sink into the sea of consciousness.
The Soul Collecting Array was still absorbing an enormous amount of dark psionic energy as a massive soul nebula formed around the Kindle of the Soul.
How large was the soul nebula?
Ling Jiu’s estimate was that it was at least tens of thousands of kilometers in radius. Such a massive soul nebula had naturally accumulated an enormous amount of dark psionic energy.
Even so, Ling Jiu knew that this was not enough.
In Leoux’s words, the size of the soul nebula should be at least be dozens or hundreds of light-years in diameter.
Therefore, Ling Jiu needed to work hard.
“I just captured the gods of Auguland. If I can extract their souls, smash them into the purest dark psionic energy, and absorb them, my soul nebula will undergo a tremendous change in a short time.”
He told Leoux about his thoughts, and Leoux immediately smiled. “I have been so busy recently and almost forgot about that guy. Do you remember the Evogod we caught earlier on Whitehole 4?”
Ling Jiu still remembered the Evogod guy on Whitehole 4. That guy had used Mind Manipulation to control all of the living beings on Whitehole 4. Its soul was outrageously powerful.
Back then, Leoux had suggested that Ling Jiu break up the Evogod and absorb its soul to help him practice the Eight Methods of Black Hole Evolution. However, Leoux had been too busy recently and had forgotten about the matter.
“Nevertheless, I’ve thrown the Evogod’s soul into the shredder and crushed it into powder,” Leoux said. “Should I send the pulverized soul into the self-cultivation room now?”
“Send it in.” There was no reason for Ling Jiu to refuse.
“You got it.”
After a while, a steady stream of soul fragments was sent into the self-cultivation room.
Ling Jiu could feel it although he could not see it. He activated Devourer immediately and sent the soul fragments into his Inner World.
The Inner World immediately swung into action and started the conversion process.
As the soul fragments were converted into a steady stream of dark psionic energy and sent into his sea of consciousness, the soul nebula expanded rapidly.
One thousand kilometers…
Five thousand kilometers…
Eight thousand kilometers.
…
The soul of the Evogod was incredibly powerful.
Its Eight Methods of Black Hole Evolution had reached the second stage, so the dark psionic energy in its soul fragments was incredibly rich.
Absorb…
Convert…
A massive amount of dark psionic energy continued to pour into the sea of consciousness.
The soul nebula was ballooning.
Ling Jiu asked Leoux to maximize the flow of time in the self-cultivation room so that he could complete the soul fragment absorption before he reached Whitehole 2.
The time flow ratio was 1: 100, which meant that a day on the outside was equal to 100 days in the self-cultivation room.
Time passed, and after Ling Jiu spent nearly two years in the self-cultivation room, soul fragments stopped pouring in. As he devoured the last soul fragment and allowed his mind to sink into the sea of consciousness, the scene in front of him shocked him.
The silverish soul nebula was so massive that he could not see its edges at a glance. He could not tell exactly how massive it was.
The long and short of it was the soul nebula was massive.
The soul nebula was akin to a giant, filling up the boundless, empty sea of consciousness. Now, the sea of consciousness was no longer empty.
“This is my soul nebula?”
He did not know the extent of the soul nebula, but he could feel the incredibly rich dark psionic energy in it.
It was absolutely incredible.
Each cubic centimeter contained thousands or even tens of thousands of dark psionic particles.
Leoux’s voice rang out all of a sudden. “I guess, you must have absorbed all of the Evogod’s soul fragments, Ling Jiu?”
“Yeah,” Ling Jiu replied.
“I’ve run a calculation. The converted soul of the Evogod is equivalent to ten soul stellar units of dark psionic energy. The ten soul stellar units are enough to reach the Eight Methods of Black Hole evolution’s second stage of cultivation. It is the minimum standard for forming a Soul Primordial Star, but I don’t recommend that you do it.”
“You want me to continue to accumulate dark psionic energy to expand the soul nebula?” Ling Jiu understood what Leoux meant.
“You bet,” Leoux said. “Just like there are big and small stars in the universe, the Soul Primordial Stars have different sizes too. The Soul Primordial Stars of some Evogods are ordinary, with the mass size of one soul star unit. Some Soul Primordial Stars of the Evogods are extremely large, with the mass of hundreds or even thousands of soul stars. The larger the Soul Primordial Star, the stronger the soul and the greater the potential. So my suggestion for you is, don’t rush into forming the Soul Primordial Star. You should focus on accumulating the soul nebula first. Haven’t we wiped out the gods of Auguland? There are eleven super-clustered and over five thousand galactic beings. Their souls are not as powerful as that of the Evogods, but they can provide you with a lot of dark psionic energy.”
“I’ll just do as you say,” Ling Jiu said. “By the way, after crushing their souls, let the Nine-tailed Serpent and Nine-winged Serpent choose a body each. I will devour the rest.”
“Understood.”
“How long before we reach Whitehole 2, Leoux?”
“About three days.”
“All right.”
Three days on the outside would be equal to 300 days in the self-cultivation room. Ling Jiu had plenty of time. So, he shifted his attention from the sea of consciousness to the floating island.
He had been busy moving around all this while. He had not devoured the asteroids for quite some time. The floating island had expanded little, and it was still about 14 million square kilometers in size.
However, the gardeners had not been sitting idly by.
Those brainwashed Kryptonians were still conscientiously planting super Arcana trees, and the forest continued to expand.
Ling Jiu ran a little calculation.
There had been an increase of nearly 10 million super Arcana trees, and the total number of super Arcana trees had reached a staggering 440 million.
How much more could 440 million super Arcana trees produce if the Dark Bio-energy produced by 360 million super arcana trees was enough for Ling Jiu to form a Stellar Core every day?
Since Ling Jiu had not been consuming it, the Dark Bio-energy concentration on the floating island had reached an astonishing level. White mist and clear lakes, as well as rivers, were everywhere.
They were of liquified Dark Bio-energy.
Right then, the floating island was a real holy land for self-cultivation. Even a pig could become a stellar being in a few years by doing nothing.
“As great as the floating island is, it is uninteresting.”
