Monk Shi received the jade slip and searched it with his spiritual force. After some time, he put the jade slip down and exclaimed in surprise, “What a treasure. Moreover, he was able to meet many fortuitous encounters. It’s clear that he’s destined for great things. Without luck, even the most powerful beings will fall. If there’s luck, small things can easily become big. It seems like Zhao Ling’s luck is good. Let him be an Inner Disciple first. If he can return safely from the Blood Demon Realm, then he can become a Core Disciple. If he’s willing, we’ll teach him the Elephant God Body Cultivation Method.”
The three elders complied. Monk Shi looked at the three elders, especially the Long Family Elder and the Zhou Family Elder and said, “You should be aware of Zhao Ling’s potential. If he can come back safely after a year, then his development will be limitless. Don’t do anything to him. If I find out, I will show no mercy. You can go.”
The Zhou Family Elder and the Long Family Elder heard Monk Shi’s words with a straight face. They knew that Monk Shi was giving them a warning. If they dared make any small moves on Zhao Hai, Monk Shi would not let them go.
Don’t think that the Zhou Family and the Long Family are invincible in the Forbidden Path Sect because of their influence. It would only take a few words from Monk Shi to erase them from existence. Their powers simply aren’t at the same level.
Zhao Hai was unaware of any of these as he was drinking with Zhou Feng at a restaurant. The two often came to this place when they were free and had already known the staff. The people of the restaurant were very welcoming. At the same time, the two didn’t have domineering auras nor were they arrogant. They always had a great time chatting with the people in the restaurant.
Since the restaurant was a business of the sect, the staff were all members of the Forbidden Path Sect. Their cultivation talent wasn’t high so they were sent to the miscellaneous hall. There wasn’t a day where customers of the restaurant didn’t look down on them. Zhou Feng and Zhao Hai were exceptions. They treated everyone with respect and chatted with them. Naturally, the staff of the restaurant like them very much.
After the two finished drinking, Zhao Hai returned to his place. Once he activated the formations, Zhao Hai returned to the Space. Meanwhile, Laura and the others were restless inside the Space.
Seeing Zhao Hai return, Laura and the others immediately ran up to him. Laura looked Zhao Hai up and down and said, “Brother Hai, are you alright? We lost contact with you. Even Cai’er can’t feel you.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “I’m fine, don’t worry. It’s because of the illusions in the Heart Refining Road. Right, I must thank you. Without your voice, I might not have been able to get out of the illusion. It seems like I’ll become an Inner Disciple of the Forbidden Path Sect soon.”
Only then did Laura and the others relax. Then Laura said, “Brother Hai, don’t get into risky situations anymore. We’re worried to death.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry, nothing will go wrong. Right, I discovered a secret of the golden spiritual force in my body. It turns out to be a divine soul. But it isn’t my divine soul, but the divine soul of others.”
Laura was somewhat confused, “Brother Hai, what do you mean? Is the golden spiritual force not under your control? Why did you say that it belongs to others?”
Zhao Hai replied, “Do you still remember how I obtained the strand of the divine soul?”
Laura nodded, “Isn’t it because of the Battle Sword Monument that you erected?”
Zhao Hai nodded, “Right, it’s when I erected the Battle Sword Monument that I noticed this trace of divine soul. In fact, the divine soul came from the souls of the First Army cultivators who died. Because of their obsession, their soul couldn’t dissipate. I erected the Battle Sword Monument and engraved their names, allowing their souls to recognize me and enter my body, becoming part of my spiritual force, guarding me silently. I didn’t know that it was the power of the divine soul. Using it as a normal spiritual force was a waste. A better use for it was to fuse with my soul, nourishing it.”
As soon as they heard Zhao Hai, Laura and the others stared. Souls of people are very mysterious, perhaps the most mysterious part of a human’s body. Zhao Hai’s soul was more mysterious. He came from Earth and his soul transmigrated turning into the current him. Even more strange was the Space that came with Zhao Hai’s soul. Until now, Zhao Hai couldn’t understand how this happened.
Moreover, it was very hard for cultivators to find any method to cultivate their soul. The soul is innate and its strength was decided on birth. Some people may cultivate to be strong and have strong souls, but there are also strong people that have weak souls.
Nobody can say that they understood the soul completely. In the True Spirit Realm, nobody dared to experiment on souls. This was because souls are very frail. If they aren’t delicate, it would be very easy to damage it. A damaged soul is very detrimental to any cultivator. A lost cultivation can be cultivated again. But a scattered soul is gone forever.
Because of this, nobody dared to cultivate their soul. Nobody would dare experiment with their lives.
When Zhao Hai used his willpower to fight against the illusions, he felt that his soul was being spit. Actually, this feeling was real. The energy in the heart refining road wasn’t only to test him, it also held a bit of aggression. The more powerful Zhao Hai’s willpower was, the more Zhao Hai’s soul would suffer damage.
The power of the divine soul carries the same kind of strength as faith power. So when the golden spiritual force entered Zhao Hai’s mind, the negative effects were eliminated immediately to protect Zhao Hai’s soul.
Normally, the Five Elements Killing Formation should have reacted under these circumstances. However, because that power was too mysterious, and initially seemed to have no offensive capabilities, the Five Elements Killing Formation didn’t react. After all, the Five Elements Annihilation Formation is an automatic defense system and not controlled by Zhao Hai, so a slow reaction is normal.
However, Zhao Hai actually benefited from this misfortune. He didn’t have a very deep understanding of his soul before. Even as a dark mage, his understanding was only superficial, mainly regarding the soul. But after this incident, his understanding of the soul deepened. He could even use things in the Space that are beneficial to the soul, such as soul stones or soul fire.
Previously, Zhao Hai was able to control so many Undead not only because of the Space but also because his soul was extremely powerful. However, what Zhao Hai called “splitting his soul” back then wasn’t actually his true soul, but rather a wisp of his spiritual force.
Zhao Hai used to think that spiritual force was the same as soul power, but now he realizes that soul power and spiritual force are completely different. Ꞧ₳ΝồBÊṣ
Previously, Zhao Hai mostly used spiritual force, not soul power, but now he has finally figured out how to use soul power.
Moreover, it must be said that Zhao Hai’s hobby of collecting things actually helped him a lot this time. There were so many soul stones in the Space, which could nourish his soul power. It was because of these soul stones that Zhao Hai’s soul power was so strong, which enabled him to reach the ninth stage on his first entry to the Heart Refining Road. This also allowed him to break through the illusion and return to reality by relying on his willpower when he was trapped in it.
After this experience, Zhao Hai can have the Universal Processing Machine create a soul cultivation method based on the changes in his soul. Then he can use the soul stones and the soul fire generated in the Space to cultivate his soul.
Although he had considered these things, Zhao Hai still needed a long time to truly cultivate his soul. He needed to conduct further research on the soul and have the Universal Processing Machine create a proper method for soul cultivation. These things couldn’t be done in a short time.
Zhao Hai quickly calmed down. He chatted with Laura and the others for a while, instructed Cai’er on her next tasks, and then returned to the Forbidden Path Sect. He had just entered the Forbidden Path Sect and was currently staying in the outer disciples’ quarters. There are many people and many eyes here, and it wouldn’t be good for him to be away for too long.
Moreover, there are many experts in the Forbidden Path Sect. Although he had set up some formations in his room, there was no guarantee that those experts wouldn’t notice anything. He was currently in the outer sect of the Forbidden Path Sect, which was very safe. Setting up formations in his room in such an environment was itself very suspicious. Fortunately, the outer disciples of the Forbidden Path Sect weren’t very knowledgeable about formations, so no one noticed that Zhao Hai’s room had formations set up. Otherwise, Zhao Hai would probably have been in trouble long ago.
Although experts of the Forbidden Path Sect rarely went to the Outer Sect, Zhao Hai didn’t dare take too long inside the Space. It would be troublesome if someone found his secret. So he only stayed in the Space for a while before returning to his room.
After returning to his room, Zhao Hai immediately removed the formations and rested well. He expended a lot of mental energy today. Although he passed the test smoothly at the last moment thanks to the help of the divine soul power, fighting the illusion for so long had left him feeling extremely tired. He hadn’t felt it much while drinking with Zhou Feng and comforting Laura and the others, but now that he was back in his room, the mental exhaustion immediately overwhelmed him, and Zhao Hai immediately fell asleep.
Zhao Hai slept soundly until the next day. He stretched and quickly washed up in his room before going out. By then, most of the disciples in the Forbidden Path Sect were already up, especially the outer disciples. These outer disciples had daily tasks because their food, lodging, and other expenses cost money. To improve their cultivation, they also needed a lot of cultivation resources, which also cost money. Of course, these items were much cheaper in the Forbidden Path Sect than outside, but even cheap items have a price. To cultivate better, you needed more cultivation resources. And to have more cultivation resources, you needed more contribution points and more jade essence. All of these things were obtained by completing tasks. Therefore, the outer disciples of the Forbidden Path Sect were very busy, either completing tasks or cultivating, and rarely had any free time.
Looking at the busy outer disciples of the Forbidden Path Sect, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but sigh. There’s a saying on Earth, “Thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge,” which describes how difficult it is to get into university. But compared to university, cultivation is even more difficult. Cultivation isn’t just thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, it’s billions of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Everyone is cultivating, everyone is pursuing the Great Dao, but how many can truly comprehend the Great Dao? Most become the countless bones that can be seen on the side of the path of cultivation!
At this time, Zhao Hai saw a large, fat figure slowly walking over from a distance. Upon seeing this figure, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile. In the entire Forbidden Path Sect, only Zhou Feng could grow to such a size. He hadn’t expected him to arrive so early.
Zhou Feng also saw Zhao Hai standing outside the door. He smiled and waved to Zhao Hai, saying, “Brother, come on, let’s go eat together. I have something to tell you.”
Zhao Hai looked at Zhou Feng with confusion and asked, “Brother Zhou, what’s the matter? Is there some news about my assignment?”
Zhou Feng smiled and said, “Let’s go, we can talk while we eat.” As he spoke, he led Zhao Hai out. With the support of the Zhou family, Zhou Feng was a very wealthy man. He almost never ate in the sect’s canteen, but always ate in restaurants. The food in restaurants were naturally much better, but of course, it wasn’t cheap either.
After the two sat down at the restaurant, Zhou Feng ordered the dishes. Once the dishes were served, Zhou Feng said to Zhao Hai, “Brother, you’ve been accepted into the inner sect and became a formal inner sect disciple. I believe someone will announce it soon. What do you think?”
Zhao Hai’s eyes shone, he nodded vigorously and said, “Happy, of course I’m happy, Hahaha, I never expected to join the inner sect so quickly.”
Looking at Zhao Hai, Zhou Feng smiled faintly and said, “Don’t be too happy yet. Even if you join the inner sect, you still have to start your cultivation from scratch. Let me tell you about the cultivation process for disciples of the Forbidden Path Sect after they join.”
