Chapter 470: Grand Perfection of the Heavenly Realm!
Seeing the massive soul light cluster before him, Xiao Ze couldn't help but show an expression of extreme astonishment. No wonder this world could change at the mere thought of the Yellow Springs Demon Saint—it had merged with the Demon Saint's soul essence. Such powerful soul abilities could only be achieved by those with an emperor-level soul.
Merging one's soul with the world, even if the world crumbled, it could instantly be restored. However, few powerful beings were willing to do this because it consumed their soul essence. Once the soul essence was depleted, it was very difficult to restore. Treasures that could heal the soul were rare, and those that could heal soul essence were even rarer. If one's soul essence was damaged, the chances of recovery were slim.
Xiao Ze quickly understood the uniqueness of this world and suppressed his excitement, bowing to the Yellow Springs Demon Saint. "Thank you, Senior, for granting me this opportunity!"
Xiao Ze didn't know how this soul essence cluster compared to the one Xiao Yan obtained from the Soul Hall, but he felt a sense of excitement. It seemed this soul essence cluster could help him advance his soul realm further. Considering it came from the emperor-level soul of the Yellow Springs Demon Saint, it was likely just as valuable, if not more so, than the one from the Soul Hall. Truly, this was a great fortune for Xiao Ze.
"Haha, since I promised you a great opportunity, I won't be stingy," the Yellow Springs Demon Saint said, waving his hand. "If you trust me, you can refine it here, and I will protect your soul body."
"This world, merged with soul essence over a long period, is an excellent place for soul cultivation."
"I trust you, Senior. Please protect me," Xiao Ze replied, bowing. He then sat cross-legged in the void, ready to absorb the soul essence cluster.
Through the golden tree, he quickly explained the situation to Xiao Yixian, Medusa, and Qing Lin, assuring them not to worry.
Before absorbing the soul essence cluster, Xiao Ze sensed its purity. It was free of any foreign energies. Even if the Yellow Springs Demon Saint had tampered with it, Xiao Ze, with the Origin Tree, had nothing to fear. The presence of the Origin Tree was the main reason Xiao Ze dared to refine the soul essence cluster here.
Seeing Xiao Ze sitting cross-legged in the void, directly refining the soul essence cluster, the Yellow Springs Demon Saint showed a hint of anticipation. "I hope you can seize this opportunity and successfully break through to the Grand Perfection of the Heavenly Realm."
The Yellow Springs Demon Saint then sat on the enormous throne, closing his eyes as if entering a deep meditation.
Outside the Yellow Springs Stele, Xiao Yixian, Medusa, and Qing Lin were initially surprised by Xiao Ze's message. They exchanged glances before Xiao Yixian turned to look at Yao Ming, who stood at a distance.
Yao Ming stood with his hands naturally at his sides, his eyes lowered, focusing on a large green stone as if it contained the heavenly-grade battle techniques he had always longed for. Despite his closer relationship with Xiao Ze, Yao Ming maintained a respectful distance from Xiao Yixian and Medusa, especially from Qing Lin, who held his soul contract. He feared any misstep might cause her to control him instantly through the soul contract.
Yao Ming's strategy was to stay away, preferably out of their sight. However, since Xiao Ze had instructed him not to let anyone approach, he couldn't leave entirely. He remained on the edge of the altar, keeping his distance.
"Patriarch Yao Ming, Xiao Ze informed us that he has encountered an opportunity within the Yellow Springs Stele and might take some time," Xiao Yixian said vaguely, having been briefed in detail by Xiao Ze but withholding full disclosure from Yao Ming.
"I see. Has Xiao Ze passed the Demon Saint's test?" Yao Ming asked courteously.
"He probably has. Once Xiao Ze finishes his business, he should be able to obtain the Demon Saint's essence blood and the Yellow Springs Heaven Wrath technique."
"That's good to hear!" Yao Ming sighed in relief, worried that Xiao Ze might seize the opportunity only for the essence blood and technique to be out of reach.
Time passed slowly. The next day, Yao Ming left under the pretext of handling Nine Serenities Sky Python Clan affairs but left a communication device for emergencies. Xiao Yixian, Medusa, and Qing Lin, though strong, might struggle against a true Dou Saint without support.
Within the Stele space, time's passage was marked only by the strengthening soul in the space's depths. It grew stronger by the second, continuing for a month.
The Yellow Springs Demon Saint opened his eyes on the enormous throne, looking at Xiao Ze floating mid-air. Xiao Ze's soul body now had a crystalline luster, with soul power rippling around him like water waves.
"Before absorbing the soul essence cluster, he was on the verge of the Grand Perfection. A month of continuous improvement has finally pushed him over the threshold," the Demon Saint murmured.
As he spoke, a vast soul wave erupted from Xiao Ze, spreading through the space, sensing every detail.
"What terrifying perception. He instantly discerned the entire space, noting every minute change," the Demon Saint thought.
At the Grand Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, one's combat ability was formidable. Xiao Ze's soul power alone could now unleash the power of a two-star Dou Saint. In other words, his soul power alone could now overpower Yao Ming.
The improvement in Xiao Ze's alchemy skills delighted him even more than the combat ability enhancement. With his soul power now at the Grand Perfection level, Xiao Ze could attempt to refine the Nine-Rank Profound Pills!
