Giant Stone Ancient City, in a desolate long building.
Leylin gradually opened his eyes and contemplated for a while. After that, he took the seven scripture books in silence and started to read them one by one.
It’s been two days since he exposed himself to the Demonic Sound Clan, while he waited for the various heads to meet together and after a brief undisclosed interaction they ultimately decided to entertain Leylin.
As per his request Leylin was granted the seven soul scripture of the Demonic Sound Clan, not to mention the various cultivation treasures from the two pagan clans.
To be honest, Leylin didn’t care much about the cultivation resources but they were pretty good for soul growth so he was rather content with them but his main yield was the seven scripture, the life’s worth of the three leaders of the Demonic sound clan.
The seven ancient soul scripture books did not note the cultivating methods of the martial techniques in detail. Instead, they were about the research of all the miraculous soul transformations, mentioning the features and different methods of soul cultivations in a very detailed and clear way.
Only after reading them for a short time, Leylin eyes brightened up, his face revealed a satisfied look.
These seven ancient soul scripture books contained all kinds of profound perceptions about the soul’s marvellousness. The soul comprehension of the Demonic Sound Clan had indeed far surpassed the other tribes.
It seemed that Yemen actually knew which ancient scriptures would be the most useful for him now. These seven ancient scripture books, with no exception, all mentioned Upanishads that were related to the soul.
Leylin could easily see that the seven ancient soul scripture books were the essence of the Demonic Sound Clan’s Upanishads of the soul.
The Demonic Sound Clan’s soul secret skills had been totally based on these seven ancient scripture books. Understanding them would push him to master all kinds of soul secret skills of the Demonic Sound Clan.
The scripture book related to Upanishads of the soul attracted his attention. He researched it so deeply that he even forgot about the time and the binding in the cultivation. He now only used his mind to perceive everything that was related to the soul, especially the host soul.
According to this ancient scripture, everyone had a host soul. The host soul was the core of spirit.
An ordinary person could not sense the existence of a host soul, nor had no way to control it or take its forces.
For warriors who cultivated martial arts, if they purified themselves and refined their blood to break through their minds, their spirits would slowly intensify. One day, they would finally be able to sense the host soul of the spirit’s core.
Once a warrior broke through the Nirvana Realm to form the sea of consciousness, if they could conduct the host soul into the sea of consciousness, the sea of consciousness and the host soul would support each other and develop together.
When the host soul entered the sea of consciousness, it was nourished by the sea of consciousness. Once the Nirvana Realm improved, the transformation would also occur.
One day, if the warriors had entered the God Realm, their host souls would then evolve to a higher level, transforming to the God Soul in the Sea of Consciousness.
Once the God Soul was formed, it meant that the warriors officially became a Supreme God Realm Master. The God Soul and the sea of consciousness supporting one another could then develop unimaginable spiritual forces.
It didn’t took Leylin a long time to carefully dismantle and thoroughly study all the ancient scripture books. He gradually gained a special perception of the Demonic Sound Clan’s soul comprehension.
“Marvellous, it’s really a very thorough and different approach. The difference of soul structure between Magus and Cultivation world is sometimes glaringly different while sometimes it’s remarkably similar. The concept of the host soul isn’t a new one to me but the way it’s nurtured even before reaching a Morning Star Magus Level is surely ingenious.”
….
Later many warriors of the Demonic Sound Clan, who were under Yemen’s command came inside Leylin chambers. They were pushing a huge cage, gradually moving forward.
In the cage, there were Phillips, Carina, Razia, and Felicia and the other warriors from the Endless Sea.
The outstanding geniuses of the new generation of the Kyara Sea were all confined in a cage, wearing gloomy faces, and dreary eyes.
In the Kyara Sea, these people were on the top of the combat list. Normally, their families often possessed noble statuses and had servants for everything.
However, in this place, they were just common prisoners, and could be killed at any single given moment by their jailers. The feelings of hopelessness made them lose their previous inherited arrogance. They were now a group of people with bowed heads and necks retracted, retreated to a single corner with fear more than ever.
Phillips and others bowed their head dolefully as many of them had their spirit exhausted. Most men were only skin and bone. It seemed that their life, recently, had been extremely tragic.
The other warriors also looked really skinny and sickly as if they had not eaten anything lately. Together, with their powers being confined, they were in a very bad condition.
As soon as they saw Leylin, their dull eyes were lit up. However, in no time, he shook his head and released a long sigh.
The moment Leylin appeared, Phillips, Carina and others felt as if their world had collapsed.
A long pursuing way from the Kyara Sea area to here, before having entered the Chasm Battlefield, in the combat with the Alaister family, they had gone through many losses, it had not been easy to enter the Chasm Battlefield.
Currently, they were being confined in this damn place. Leylin, on the contrary, became the distinguished guest of this pagan race, could not only talk but enjoy their hospitality.
They were locked inside like animals while Leylin sat comfortably in a huge mansion and all those warriors who treated them with spite and disdain talked normally even a bit respectful to him.
They were all human beings, why was there such a big difference between them and Leylin.
“Young Master Berkan, I bring you these people as you wished. There are fifty-eight survivors. If you haven’t called them they would have been killed one by one for the enjoyment of the youngsters in the clan. ”
The eyes of endless sea warriors suddenly lit up.
“You, have you asked for us?” Carian was astounded for a moment, then she gently spoke, “You seem not to be a heartless person. I did not expect it for you to have been merciful as well.”
After hearing what the pagans had said, those warriors inside the cage could not help but look at Leylin in gratitude.
On the contrary, Leylin was still motionless. He couldn’t help but find it amusing, if those guys knew the real reason why he had asked for them, he could not have imagined what they would have thought.
Leylin wanted to have a big improvement on the spiritual Upanishads, relying only on his own will to do so in a small time frame was obviously not enough. The two pagan tribes have already given him a deadline to prepare and after that he would have to make a move no matter his growth.
Although his knowledge about the spiritual Upanishads were rather astounding in regards to the small time he had to study them, but there were many things that he did not understand thoroughly; and, many theories he formulated himself and wanted to test and for that he would need to conduct the experiments.
Obviously he won’t be using himself otherwise he can damage his own soul.
Using others’ souls to experiment could help avoid some unforeseen occurrences of his own soul. That was why he had asked for those warriors to study further with.
Leylin didn’t talk to any of them, to him they were but subjects to use for his experiment. As a Magus he had no feelings for his experimental specimens.
Leylin took a quick scan of the crowd, they had very types of expression on their face. Some were weary, some were tired, some sickly, some looked at him with gratitude and even expectations. Leylin felt it was funny but he felt no remorse to wreak havoc on their dreams.
Leylin soon choose a weaker and tired warrior who seems to look at Leylin with plead and expectations.
Leylin released his soul consciousness and got into that warrior’s head, Leylin’s mind slightly moved. His soul consciousness was now divided into ten of millions of flows quickly moving inside of that guy’s head to understand his brain’s complicated structure first.
After an unknown amount of time, when Leylin’s soul consciousness in that guy’s head gradually got weakened, as soon as his soul consciousness had almost contacted with that warrior’s host soul, the warrior’s host soul suddenly emitted a spiral wave and exploded.
“Boom!”
Leylin could clearly sense the violent explosive sound coming out from that warrior.
As soon as the explosive sound echoed, Leylin hurriedly retreated his soul consciousness in contemplation.
“Ramon!” Gunther Felicia let out an ear-piercing sound.
Leylin stared at that warrior with indifferent eyes. He could see that that guy’s eyes and nose were bleeding. His face was heart-rending as his pupils were enlarged. He was dead.
“Berkan Lenoir! What are you doing!?” Felicia was like a small tigress showing her fangs and claws, jumping inside the cage. “Why did you kill him?”
Unlike last time they now know who Leylin actually is, Himani after meeting with everyone in the desert has previously told them about Leylin, although she didn’t share much information she told them he’s a lost direct descendant of the Alaister family and named Berkan Lenoir.
After coming before him, Felicia and others tried to talk to him and clearly saw that inspite of their repeated attempt to make Leylin understand that he should let them out and help them to deal with the pagans, joining them in favour of humanity, he still kept silent.
Instead he locked his eyes on that particular warrior from Gunther family named Ramon closing his eyes and soon after Ramon died tragically.
“You have to pay soul for soul. A bastard like you is worthy of having thousands of slashes. You will not have a decent death.”
“Shut up.” Leylin who was contemplating about the reason of the warrior’s death was disturbed from her yelling and raised his arm releasing one strike.
Felicia’s petite body was pushed back by an invisible force. She hit the cage wall with a huge thud.
She laid on the ground groaning in pain. She totally had lost her usual noble dignity.
“Berkan, what you’ve done is very cruel.” Carina let out a long sigh, shook her head and said, “You should just kill us directly. Why did you need to torture us…”
“I didn’t kill him.” Leylin scratched his chin pondering while he spoke but it seemed he was talking to himself more than conversing with them.
He continued, “There was a spirit seed planted by the Demonic Sound Clan in his soul. I just entered his head, but I hadn’t approached his soul yet, and the Formation Technique suddenly exploded, crushing his soul. The one that killed him was the activated Formation Technique. Well not just him, all of you have that spirit seed.”
Even Leylin has a spirit seed engraved inside his soul but he himself allowed it to remain there and now with his understanding of the Demonic Sound Clan soul scripture he can even more easily deal with the seed in his body but to do the same for others is very difficult.
The Spirit seed is crafted to be sneaky in nature and it doesn’t recognize the target’s soul energy or consciousness as an enemy otherwise it would explode as soon as it’s implanted but if any foreign soul power except for the caster’s or the target tries to enter it would immediately explode.
Others were scared knowing about their current predicament while Carina got bewildered, hesitated for a while before saying, “If you didn’t send your soul consciousness into his head, the Formation Technique would not have been scattered, and he would not have died.”
“Don’t be stupid little girl. Firstly, the consequences are the same. If the Formation Technique exists and the opponent wants him to die, he won’t be able to resist. Secondly, you are mistaken if you think I care a least bit about his life. I’ve used him as an object for my studies of the spiritual Upanishads. I would perhaps find a way to break the Formation Technique.”
Leylin looked at her with a teasing smile and then continued, “You will die sooner or later anyway. It’s best to be useful before your eventual inevitable demise.”
“Monster!”
“Demon!”
After he had finished his talk, Leylin no longer cared about Carina, instead, he continued his studies.
….
“What has that little human done recently?” On top of a sky-high ancient fortress, Leader of Gray Wings Clan, Victor coldly asked with an unhappy countenance.
Yashila and Dallas were also at the same place with Victor. Both of them frowned, watching from above. They were sweeping their eyes at Victor from the distance but did not reply to him.
Victor has been rather very inoperative towards their joint decision to help Leylin, the two had to use their status to suppress him and force him to act accordingly. Victor had been in a foul mood recently and found fault with everyone and everything.
His son Harward was found recently and although he wasn’t hurt but he was still unconscious for a while, Victor has been suspicious of everyone but he couldn’t do anything because in comparison to their tribe’s survival his son’s life isn’t worth anything to anyone else. He even had to let go of that human female warrior he captured for the supposed growth of Leylin’s cultivation, he couldn’t even taste her!
Leylin had asked Yemen to save Himani who fell in the Gray Wings Clan’s area. Because her body has the Wind Martial Soul, Victor had confined her in a place where the wind energy was really intense. He used her body as a container to store the wind energy, and then he would have absorbed that energy from her eventually but.. Leylin saved her from the wicked plans of Victor.
Not long after that, Yemen along with, Kassius, and Dominick, the three leaders of the Demonic Sound Clan also flew into that place. After descending, they all showed unusual faces.
Three of them had an exceptional cultivating level. Their soul power was ecstatic and miraculous. They could have sensed any of the commotions on the Sound Beast Mountain even though they were staying inside of the Giant Stone Ancient City.
At this moment, six of the top-class pagan warriors were standing on top of the ancient fortress, looking towards the Sound Beast Mountain from a distance, shuddering terrifyingly.
The sky over there looked like it was being torn into pieces. Each of the cracked rifts could have devoured and swallowed all of the creatures. All kinds of dazzling light interlaced at one point.
Deep inside the sky, thunder and lightning were just raging on as the surge fluctuated. Tremendous enough to have completely destroyed Heaven and Earth. It was getting more and more chaotic.
Those six pagans had a feeling that a powerful explosion could have happened any time at the Sound Beast Mountain’s peak.
Once it had exploded, this whole land would have instantly turned into a void. All the creatures living on this land would have been totally wiped out.
The six of them understood that a major incident was coming close.
Time was now rushed. Even the Sound Beasts inside of the Sound Beast Mountain seemed to have sensed the changes and started to get into a flurry. They began to act disorderly, trying to get out and survive.
“We are running out of time…” Dominick’s eyes were very serious, “In another two weeks or so, if we still cannot find the way out, I don’t think any of us will be able to escape from this catastrophe alive.”
All six of them looked extremely grave.
“Dallas, Yashila, in order to help that little rascal improve faster, I’ve given you guys the Heaven Fountain Concentrated Water, as well as the female human beings. How is it going after all?” Victor asked with a cold-blooded voice.
“He still has half a month. After that, we will all take him to the Sound Beast Mountain.” The matriarch of the White Wings Clan, Yashila seemed to be the calmest.
“Don’t worry, in such a short time that little fellow has entered the Third Sky of the Nirvana Realm. His knowledge and ability to control the Flame energy have also reached a higher level. After half a month, his cultivation would be perhaps stable. At that time, his abilities to use the powers would have been extremely skillful and profound. That is the right time for us to enter the Sound Beast Mountain.”
After entering Chasma Battlefield, Leylin hasn’t been ideal he’s been constantly improving himself at an incredible speed. He broke through two realms one after another reaching the Third Sky Of Nirvana Realm!
Yemen looked towards Leylin, quietly activating his soul sense.
Yemen’s gray-white eyes suddenly flashed up a surprising light after a short moment. It seemed he’d just found out about something.
In terms of soul aspect, Dallas, Yashila and Victor, the three leaders of the Wings Race could not have been compared to the Demonic Sound Clan; thus, they did not recognize Yemen sneaky act. However, when he retreated his soul sense, the other two leaders of the Demonic Sound Clan, Kassius and Dominick had noticed something.
“Brother, did you discover something?” Dominick felt that something was a bit odd, looking at Yemen while asking.
Yemen slowly nodded as his countenance returned to normal. He said, “That little rascal has not been idle during this time. I have to say that this guy is really extraordinary. After just scanning the ancient scriptures of the Demonic Sound Clan, he could already broken through all the formation technique that Kassius’s son had placed in those human warriors’ souls. Then, he planted his own spirit seed’s inside of their souls. That genius can really shock me.”
“What?” Kassius face changed, he screamed out in shock, “Without our instructions, only relying on those ancient scriptures, how could he have known of the ways in using the spirit seed? How could he have disarmed the spirit formation technique of my son? How could he?”
Dallas’s eyes brightened up.
“You can check it yourselves.” Yemen smiled.
Kassius and Dominick were astonished for a while. They did not hesitate to send out their soul senses to check if Yemen was right or not.
After ten minutes, both showed a surprised face, while nodding towards Dallas and Yashila.
“What does it mean?” Victor asked with a puzzled face, “Let’s say he could understand the essence of the spiritual Upanishads of the Demonic Sound Clan, what can it prove? How useful can it be towards breaking the shelters if he can explain the spiritual Upanishads? If it doesn’t help in breaking the shelters, his understanding will be useless, just a waste of time.”
Yemen glanced at Victor with a contemptuous look, and frigidly said, “When a soul perception has reached a new level, it’s ability to control the surrounding circumstances are much more thorough, power handling will be more skillful, and the mental state will also develop. The Demonic Sound Clan and the Wings Race are not similar. Progress in terms of the soul will bring us many good things that we can hardly imagine of.”
“He is not lazy. The stronger that his soul is, the easier it can be for him to break the shelters.” Yashila said with a faint smile, “There are still two weeks to go. I long for his performance after that amount of time. I believe that this guy can help us get out of this damn place, returning to the Grace Mainland.”
“You trust him that much?” Dallas was very surprised.
“I think that God will not let our two tribes perish.” Yashila eyebrows knitted tightly while saying, “No matter what, we have to trust him. If we don’t trust him, it means that we don’t believe that we could survive. During the time when the Sound Beast Mountain had had a major change, a little rascal who can use the extraordinary flame energy suddenly appears out of nowhere. I have a feeling that our destiny had been settled when he showed up here. Perhaps our ancestors have heard our pleas …”
“Destiny has been settled …” Yemen mumbled again with a low voice. He said, “Is this really the arrangement of Immortal God King?”
Victor, Kassius and Dominick trembled as their faces had changed dramatically.
Only Yashila and Dallas still remained calm. Yemen chuckled afterwards and gently said, “Our ancestors used to say that if a descendant of the God Kings could bring us out of this devilish place, we would have to serve him as our master.”
As soon as everyone heard what Yemen had just said, they were all dazed with confused faces while their eyes kept moving. No one said anything.
…
Half a month later
At the Sound Beast Mountain, where its peak pierced straight up to the sky.
Numerous Sound Beasts had spread out at every corner. Hundreds, thousands of them were gathering, feeling extremely insecure. They all got out of their caves all of a sudden as if they felt that the danger was coming closer.
Deep in the sky, lightning was striking and the wild wind was growling. All were furious.
Dazzling lightning, one by one, flashed, on and off quickly in the sky. Deep inside of the lightning, many brilliant colorful lights segregated, which were actually the rifts of the time and space continuum; they contained the tremendous heavenly power that could have eradicated all life.
Any pagans of the Demonic Sound Clan or the Wings Race knew that in the sky above the Sound Beast Mountains’ peak, there concealed Heavenly powers, which were capable of destroying any warriors of the True God Realm. They all knew that the Heavenly power’s existence was the warriors’ nemesis, that prevented the pagans of the two tribes from ever getting out of this place.
The phenomenal scene in the sky scared the Sound Beasts out of their wits, as well as panicked the two tribes’ pagans who were having feelings that a murderous accident could come at any time.
“Boom”
A flow of dazzling Heavenly light suddenly projected from the sky. The Heavenly light was like a giant sickle, striking down straight into the Sound Beast Mountain’s peak. As soon as the Heavenly light visibly appeared, a block of hundreds-meter-long ancient stone had been cut off from the Sound Beast Mountain’s peak, violently falling down.
Right when the Heavenly light swept over a growling giant Sound Beast, the beast turned into a mist of blood just in a blink, leaving nothing behind. That was an extremely catastrophic death.
Many of the Sound Beasts terrifyingly growled and howled, instinctively retreated into the Sound Beast Mountain. They didn’t dare to have stuck their heads out.
While the Heaven was showing its intimidation and mightiness, Leylin arrived at the foot of the Sound Beast Mountain with a somber face.
“It’s finally showtime. I wonder how much Grace Mainland has changed.”
