Chapter 829: Core of Soul
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
“Line diagram? I think it should be called a diagram of the heavens. It is extremely boundless. What is the significance of the diagram? It extends to the infinity and beyond. Small diagrams nestle in bigger ones. At the very least, there are hundreds of small diagrams and more than a dozen big ones. What can it bring to me even after I achieve full insights?”
Lu Li was in the Wicked Bead. This diagram was giving him a headache. From the marks left by Emperor Heng, Lu Li picked up the line diagram. The more he looked into it, the more complicated, profound and intricate he felt it was. What bothered him the most was that he did not know the effect of the diagram. This being the case, how could he actually learn and master this seemingly boundless diagram?
Under normal circumstances, there should be a clear direction when it came to learn Profound Meanings. Warriors could follow the direction, and, in the end, they would have complete mastery. Those Profound Meanings all came with clear characteristics and effects.
Take the Mirror Image Profound Meaning as an example. Lu Li kept learning and eventually, he could generate more clones.
However, he had no notion as to what this diagram could do. The only thing he was sure of was that the diagram could do wonders. As the diagram contained mysterious powers and theories.
It had been four months since he had started his closed-door cultivation. But he had progressed little on this vast diagram. Even that wasn’t accurate… To be honest, he had not perceived this one small diagram to the fullest extent yet because he did not know the usage of it.
It had been stable outside. Lu Li once asked Uncle Nine of the Jun Family. The defense of the Demon-slaying City was as strong as expected. Millions of alien races had been blasting and pounding at the shield but it did not move a bit. On the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse, the sacred book had been glowing for a long time to provide divine energy, enough for the shield to sustain for a year or two.
Lu Renhuang had been cultivating nonstop. Jiang Qiling took a rest from her cultivation once. She stayed close and returned to closed-door cultivation after living out in the castle for one day.
Little White was either eating or sleeping. Deputy Master and his accomplices did not stir up any trouble. Everything was going well. Messages were sent from the Inferno, saying that it was peaceful over there. Lu Ling was governing the Inferno so Lu Li had no worries.
“Forget it!”
Lu Li decided to turn to the Human Sovereign Realm directly, after some serious deliberation for he had no time to waste. If he could reach the Human Sovereign Realm, he might be able to dissolve the second layer of the seal in the Wicked Bead.
“Listen up. I am going to be in closed-door cultivation for some time. Do not disturb me, unless the world is coming to an end.”
Lu Li sent his message. Uncle Nine of the Jun Family and the others all promised. Lu Li then talked to Jiang Qiling who just happened to stop her cultivation. The latter declared at once that she wanted to provide him protection.
“The Wicked Bead is safe. I’ll be okay without you protecting me.”
Lu Li stroke her hair with tenderness and sat with her in his arms for a moment. Knowing that he wanted to reach for the Human Sovereign Realm, she did not cling onto him for long and went to cultivate as well.
Lu Li had already learned the method for reaching the Human Sovereign Realm by heart. The Bead of Life was no longer the most crucial to the Human Sovereign Realm and it could not evolve naturally. The key point now was to build the Core of Soul. That was to have a core inside the Soul Pond to put the soul in so that the soul could be defended properly.
Apart from this, another thing mattered was to engrave Profound Meaning!
Engraving the most powerful Profound Meaning he knew into the Bead of Life could enable the Bead of Life to establish contact with heaven and earth, and exert influence in heaven and earth thusly, which would grant him the ability to freeze space to a small-scale. That was the Force Field that only by reaching the Human Sovereign Realm could achieve!
Souls were vital. One wrong step could lead to the shattering of the soul. For this reason, the Core of Soul bore the most importance. Of course, another pivotal issue was to engrave Profound Meaning in the Bead of Life, which had much to do with the successful breakthrough to the Human Sovereign Realm.
Lu Li had given Yu Huashen and Zi Huanyu a large number of Mystical Materials, but they still failed to reach the Human Sovereign Realm. The reason was, they were not able to engrave Profound Meanings in their Beads of Life. They suffered defeat on the verge of victory.
The higher a Profound Meaning’s rank was, the easier it would be to engrave it in the Bead of Life. The success of breakthrough would be easier. That was why Lu Li had spent half a year to study the line diagram.
He had learned several Profound Meanings, the Mirror Image, Speed, Space Shattering and Wind. Evidently, none of them was of a high enough rank. He did not know which one of them he should engrave. Therefore, he had not rushed into the Human Sovereign Realm for an attempt…
“Let’s do it!”
Time waited for nobody. Even after he reached the Human Sovereign Realm, it would take Lu Li a long time before he could dissolve the second seal in the Wicked Bead. But the Demon-slaying City only had a little bit over a year.
Lu Li had made up his mind. He might succeed or he might not. Either way, he must try. He was running out of time. If he failed, then this was life.
Preparing a large number of Mystical Materials, Lu Li started to build the Core of Soul. It might seem to be a dangerous step but he was not concerned. He had enough Mystical Materials and all of them were the best of their kinds. It was unlikely that something would go wrong at this step.
He consumed the elixirs and pellets. Masses of energy came into being, around his Soul Pond. Using the special method taught by Lu Renhuang, Lu Li started to build the Core of Soul.
Energy of soul inside the Soul Pond was extracted by a large amount. The energy of soul was circulating in the Soul Pond following a certain pattern for a long time. When the energy of soul had made hundreds of circles, a small and half-transparent sphere came into being in the Soul Pond.
Energy of soul kept coming in and circulated around the sphere. Masses of energy outside the Soul Pond were sent into the sphere and bring it shape.
The Core of Soul could not be built overnight. It took Lu Li five days and nights before the most primary form of the Core of Soul was built.
“This is good~”
Everything was going smoothly. Taking a break, Lu Li consumed more Mystical Materials and used soul energy to strengthen the Core of Soul. Two days later, the Core of Soul was ready. He started the final stage, transferring his soul into the Core of Soul.
This was the easy part. After all, Core of Soul was part of the Soul Pond and the existence of the Core of Soul was to protect the soul. When the Soul Pond was blasted open but the Core of Soul was intact, the soul would still be safe and there was a chance of saving it.
What was more, the Core of Soul could help accelerate warriors’ thinking process and reaction.
Taking half a day, Lu Li transferred his soul into the Core of Soul. Just as he thought he was about to be done with the Soul Pond, something happened!
Inside his Soul Pond was a silver dragon mark. At the moment, the silver dragon mark suddenly gave forth a glare and the silver dragon began to move around in the Soul Pond. In the end, the silver dragon swam toward the Core of Soul and entered it.
Then…
The Core of Soul radiated. A small silver dragon mark was added onto it. Apart from this, everything was normal and the same.
“Phew, phew~”
Lu Li was relieved. The silver dragon marking moving from the Soul Pond to the Core of Soul did not matter as far as he knew. He believed the silver dragon did it to protect his soul by defending his Core of Soul.
“Well!”
Lu Li was satisfied with the process. The mysterious dragon mark could enable strong protection towards his soul. Since he started down the path to become a warrior, no powerful soul attack was able to damage his soul and it was all attributable to the silver dragon mark.
“The silver dragon mark comes from the animal tooth pendant and it comes from Emperor of Heaven Reverse!”
Lu Li now had a question. The silver dragon mark could perform magic, which had no doubt. That would mean that the animal tooth pendant was valuable. If so, why did Emperor of Heaven Reverse had left it in the Heaven Reverse Universe instead of bringing it to the Divinity?
“Don’t overthink. Moving on!”
Lu Li was in a trance for a bit. Taking some rest, he commenced on the second step, to evolve his Bead of Life. Eventually, he would engrave the Profound Meaning and he would be able to reach the Human Sovereign Realm.
