Chapter 1051 Alternative Soul Foundation

1051 Alternative Soul Foundation

Somewhere in Primordial Chaos:

Two titans were clashing nonstop. Then, out of nowhere, Supreme Unity suddenly paused. He immediately realized his mistake and tried to reach it, but it was too late. Maitreya took this opportunity and hit him with a golden palm, drawing a few drops of blood in the corner of his mouth.

"You should know better than to be distracted in this kind of battle," she stated before continuing her nonstop offensive. Meanwhile, Supreme Unity had to take a moment to compose himself and control his emotions. The return of the Soul Path allowed the Eternal Ascension World to fix a missing part of its existence, which in turn increased True Heavenly Dao's power and control while reducing his.

'I cannot rely too much on Heavenly Book,' thought Supreme Unity. 'It's time for me to take action.'

...

Many powerhouses in the upper dimension felt the Soul Path's reappearance. They knew that such changes would have worldwide repercussions, but only a few people knew exactly what these were.

Origin Seal Continent:

"Did you feel it?" asked Wu Hong.

"Yes, a new soul path," nodded Yan Hai. "This one seems related to Divinity instead of a Pure Soul Path."

"That's not what I care about. Do you think his influence has been lifted?"

"Probably. I mean, there have been signs," replied Yan Hai. The Soul Path returned in many Chaos Worlds, so it's not surprising.

"I'm just wondering how this will affect the future."

"The Chaos Universe will simply become even more complicated," replied the Sword Empress. Spirit, Essence, Qi, and Dao- only with these four things in perfect balance can the universe be perfect. Once that is achieved, many simple things will become complicated; many things that were once impossible or unauthorized will become common.

"This time, the chaos will truly be impressive," sighed Wu Hong.

"The Third Origin War?" said Yan Hai with great fighting intent.

"I don't think it will be called like this."

"If Qishan's conjecture is correct and the kid will be the one who starts the chaos, why can't he use this name? As his ancestor, the least he could do is let me name the event."

Wu Hong rolled his eyes, "How are your injuries?"

"Great. It won't be long before I won't be a small shrimp of an Emperor," replied Yan Hai. "How about it? Want to fight then?"

"No, I don't want to embarrass you again."

"It will be different this time. I have a powerful body and entered a new Swordsmanship Realm. You're definitely not my opponent."

"And do you think I haven't improved?" Wu Hong rebutted. The memories she received from the unknown clone were helpful in more ways than one. Yan Hai looked at her. Even the slightest improvement is difficult in their current realm but also drastically increases their strength.

"If you're scared, say so."

Wu Hong ignored her and disappeared, making the Sword Empress snort. "No matter what, it won't change the fact you will be my little daughter-in-law."

Chu Divine Dynasty:

Pei Lang felt the changes between Heaven and Earth, and many ideas flashed in his mind. The other paths are the backbone soldiers and middle-level officers of the Revolution, and having a new path will also mean more variety in their troops.

He groaned as he knew he had to attend an official meeting of the dynasty before having the free time to contact Old Ma. Without hesitation, he wore his official clothes and headed to the palace. Midway through the voyage, Pei Lang felt a sudden terror overcome his mind. The feeling of dread was so intense that his body was shaking.

'What's going on?'

He quickly searched for an answer, and his face became ugly - an omen of Death. His intuition was warning him that death was rapidly approaching.

'What happened? Was my identity exposed?' This was unlikely. Pei Lang was not stupid and knew someone was protecting him. Otherwise, he would never be able to hide from certain individuals.

'Calm down,' he repeated over his mind while breathing. 'No matter the situation, as long as I can become a Boundless Paragon, my chances of surviving this catastrophe should improve.'

As Pei Lang attended today's meeting, his facial expression never revealed any anomaly. No one could tell this famous Prime Minister received a terrifying omen of death. Pei Lang returned home after discussing the issue with the new Soul Path and immediately contacted Old Ma.

"Sir, we have good and bad news."

"What happened?"

"We found Old Man Tianji," replied Old Ma.

"I'm assuming that's the good news. What about the bad?"

"Well, we didn't find him per se, but he left a note for you," explained Old Ma before showing him the note, which read:

[The pill is both a great fortune and a disaster.]

Pei Lang's eyes squinted. Diviners always speak in riddles and never direct with their words - a fact that he did not like. However, these words were easy to understand and deduce. The pill itself has no issue, but the process of breaking through will not be simple.

"Sir, what are you thinking?" asked Old Ma.

"Don't know. What do you think I should do?"

"The situation is stable, so I don't think you need to rush," said Old Ma. "We can take our time to ensure that your breakthrough will be smooth."

Pei Lang did not say anything. Typically, such a tactic would be best, but not with death looming over him. He sighed, "Things have changed, and there is no time for a safe approach."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't worry about it. I will enter seclusion to prepare for the breakthrough. I will leave a clone for you to contact."

"Sir, how sure are you?"

"If this were any other time, I would say 80%. But now, I don't know."

Old Ma was silent momentarily, "Take care and be careful."

Pei Lang nodded. They discussed how to best utilize this new path and increase their strength. As soon as the conversation ended, Pei Lang began to act. He had prepared many exits for himself for different situations, including needing a clone to replace his main body and preserve his identity.

Once that was done, he disappeared from the world's view.

Myriad Emperor World:

Wang Wei looked at Liang Shixian in puzzlement. Such an act of returning the Soul Path to the world should have been a far grander event. However, besides the merit, nothing of significant significance occurred. He did notice a powerful destiny protecting the latter, and once Liang Shixian returns home, his race will also be protected. However, he felt the entire thing was underwhelming.

'What could be the cause?' thought Wang Wei, deducing countless possibilities. 'It's either the return of the soul path is not as important as I believe or True Heavenly has reduced the impact of this event as a form of protection for Liang Shixian.'

Wang Wei was leaning on the latter. Just like Heavenly Dao owes Buddhism for what happened with the Absolute Beginning Emperor, the Divine Race also suffered due to that catastrophe. So, it's possible True Heavenly Dao converted all the rewards and benefits of Liang Shixian into destiny and Qi Luck of his race.

Under Liang Shixian's request, Wang Wei teleported the latter's followers from their clan's dimension. Afterward, Wang Wei began to check on the world. Many people are intrigued by this new path.

Most of the God Positions are accompanied by faith, meaning many people already have some level of resources for this path. So, many people who were previously trying to save for a Grand Dao Source Seed opted for this cheaper path instead; they were happy as long as they were not the lowest of Immortal Venerables.

While Wang Wei was waiting and observing, Yan Liling came to see him.

"Little sister, what happened?" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

"I have an idea and wanted to run it by you."

"I'm all ears."

"You know I've been trying to understand [Existence] to establish a Nine Extremity Foundation?"

"Indeed. How is your progress?"

"I'm very close. I only need a slight push, and I feel I will succeed," replied Yan Liling.

"That's good news. Is that what you need my help with?" asked Wang Wei. "We could try Lin Fan's approach." If he erased her [Existence] before reviving her through [Existence Reconstruction], she might break through that last barrier.

"Hmm, that's actually a good idea," replied Yan Liling. "But that's not it. I was considering whether I can achieve an alternative Nine Extremity like Jun'er, but instead of the body, through the soul."

"Hmm, normally, that would be impossible." There is a reason that the limit of strength is 7-Leaf, and only through body refining and Nine Extremity can this be overcome. "Are you thinking of taking inspiration from this God King Path?"

"Exactly," nodded Yan Liling.

"Let's see. We can modify the process so that you condense a soul ring with the [Growth Characteristic] of the soul instead of its immortal nature. Then, you can condense a Soul Flame using Pure Soul Energy instead of Incense. The Soul Flame should temper your soul beyond the limit and achieve strength on par with Dao Ancestors, if not higher."

"So, it's possible?" asked Yan Liling with shining eyes. As an Alchemist, the soul is very important to her, so this way is more compatible to her than the Nine Extremity Foundation.

"We can try."
