The ancient Dark Sect had too many inconceivable Dao skills and divine abilities. For example, the Dark Dream Art was one of them!
He had expended his own Dao source and lured Wang Baole into a dream. He had created a dream realm for Wang Baole and imparted cultivation techniques to him in that dream realm, as well as everything about the Dark Sect. The Dark Qi that had helped Wang Baole achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation in the dream realm … was actually formed from Ming Kunzi's Dao source!
Therefore … even though he had only achieved a breakthrough in his dreamscape, Wang Baole's soul had already contained enough Dark Qi for him to achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation base when he returned to reality. That was why the moment he woke up and opened his eyes, the Dark Fire in his body automatically formed and stacked up continuously until there were eighty-one flames. Then, a drastic change occurred!
Amidst this drastic change, it was as if the scene of Wang Baole achieving a breakthrough in his dreamscape was replaying itself. His aura was rising rapidly, and as his aura erupted, the Dark Core in his body was completely formed!
The instant the Dark Core was formed, a shocking amount of Dark Qi spread out from within. It was like an ocean that filled Wang Baole's meridians. Wherever it passed, cracking sounds echoed in the air. His meridians were rapidly expanding!
An aura that was even more powerful than the one in the hallucination realm continued to rise from his body at this moment. Thunderous booms spread in all directions. Wang Baole's body was also trembling, and the cracking sounds quickly turned into thunderous booms. It seemed that the changes in his body caused by the breakthrough in his cultivation were even more obvious at this moment. As he sat cross-legged on the boat, waves of black Qi exuded from his entire body, making him look extremely frightening.
As the black gas continued to spread and churn, it gradually began to burn, forming a frosty fire that spread in all directions. With Wang Baole as the center, it formed a vortex that rumbled as it spun. Wang Baole's hair moved without wind. Looking from afar, he looked more like a demonic god at that moment!
Even his rotund body seemed to have slimmed down a little. At the same time, he exuded a faint sense of majesty. Waves of energy and pressure that far surpassed that of Foundation Establishment told him clearly that he … was no longer a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but … had stepped into the Core Formation realm!
He didn't even need to check. He could feel that in his dantian, on top of the green lotus that had fused with the devouring seed, there was a new flower bud!
The flower bud had appeared almost as soon as the Dark Core was formed. It bloomed into a lotus, and at the same time, its petals fell, transforming into boundless Dark Qi. As the petals drifted down, a figure suddenly appeared ….
A lotus pod!!
Originally, the Blue Lotus only had a single seed pod, which could produce lotus seeds and emanated a refreshing aura. But now … a second seed pod had appeared. This seed pod was clearly different. It was completely black, and emanated waves of Underworld Qi. There was also a dark glow surrounding it. If one looked closely, they would be able to see that … this additional seed pod contained an Underworld Core!!
It was also because of the Dark Core that the second lotus seed pod was like a sun in terms of both its aura and the feeling it gave off. It clearly surpassed the first lotus seed pod!
It was as if there was a difference in quality!
If that were all there were to it, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, the strange transformations weren't over yet. Wang Baole could clearly see that next to the second lotus seed pod, there was a third seed pod, which was also a flower bud!
Arcs of lightning danced within the flower bud, but it seemed to lack the nutrients needed for it to bloom. Therefore, it couldn't bloom. However, it was easy to imagine that once the flower bud bloomed, a third seed pod would appear within Wang Baole's body!
"One is an Underworld Core, and the other is … a Lightning Core. Then what did the original seed pod of the Blue Lotus contain …?" Wang Baole's consciousness was still a bit hazy, but after he sensed everything, he began to ponder.
However, he didn't think for very long. As his mind cleared, everything that had occurred within the Underworld Dream appeared before his eyes. A tremor ran through his body, and his breathing grew ragged.
"Underworld Dream … of the Underworld Sect!" Wang Baole lowered his head. At the same time, a complicated feeling rose in his heart. He thought of the destruction of the Underworld Sect before he left. However, it was as if an eternity had been compressed into an instant. Wang Baole didn't know what had happened after that, and he didn't have enough information to know. At that moment, he sat silently on the lone boat and took out the black mask without hesitation!
"Big sister …" Wang Baole said softly as he held the mask. There was a hint of melancholy in his voice.
"Can you tell me everything you know about the Underworld Art and the Underworld Sect …?" Wang Baole's low voice caused the black mask to flicker. After a long while, Little Missy's voice rang out in his mind.
"After you fell asleep just now, your consciousness disappeared …"
"I went to our Underworld Sect …" Wang Baole murmured. However, his words made Little Missy fall silent. After a long while, Little Missy's voice echoed in Wang Baole's mind. There was a hint of exhaustion in her voice.
"Due to that catastrophe, there was a gap in the history of the Underworld Sect. With the disappearance of the Underworld Sect, our descendants could only deduce the history of the Underworld Sect from a few clues. It seemed that its destruction had something to do with … the Never-Ending Clan!
"Even I can only be considered a descendant of the Underworld Sect. I don't know the truth. However, according to the clues, there seemed to be some betrayal during the fall of the Underworld Sect …" When Little Missy reached this point, she seemed to be unable to continue. She spoke slowly, as if she was recalling something, but also as if she was thinking about how to continue.
However, before she could recall, Wang Baole lifted his head abruptly, and his breath caught in his throat.
"I knew it! I understand now! The Never-Ending Clan controlled the power of the living, while the Underworld Sect had the ability to reincarnate. They represented the Heavenly Dao and walked the stars. The conflict between the Dao of Life and Death ended with the Underworld Sect's destruction. That was why Master said … the Heavenly Dao had fallen … As for the betrayal, I don't know about the situation in the Underworld Sects where the other Underworld Lords are, but in the Underworld Sect where Master was, perhaps the betrayer … was … Senior Brother. "
"Huh?" Little Missy was stunned. If she were to appear in person right now, her expression would definitely be one of confusion. After a long while, she coughed softly and didn't say anything else.
At that moment, Wang Baole was muttering to himself. He was combining Little Missy's words with what he knew in his mind. Gradually, he formed a rough outline of the entire incident. After a long while, he took a deep breath and buried all his thoughts in the depths of his heart. He stood up from the lone boat and looked at the emptiness around him. In silence, he bent his back and bowed deeply in front of him.
When he straightened his back, he closed his eyes. After a few breaths, he opened his eyes. There was a cold glint in his eyes.
"Artifact Spirit … and an extraterrestrial cultivator!" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and looked down at the lone boat beneath his feet. The Dark Core in his body vibrated, and a shocking wave of Dark Qi erupted from within him. As it surged out in all directions, he let out a low shout!
"Ship Spirit!"
His voice contained Wang Baole's Dark Core cultivation base, as well as a domineering aura that belonged to the Underworld Sect that he had formed in his Dark Dream. It was the kind of aura that belonged to the Underworld Sect and was above all other souls!
As his voice echoed out, the emptiness around him was affected by the Dark Qi. Rumbling sounds could be heard, and a huge vortex formed in front of him. As the vortex spun, the figure of a burly man rapidly took shape. At first, it was blurry, but in the short span of a few breaths, it became incredibly clear!
This burly man was no stranger to Wang Baole. It was none other than the incomparably lecherous soul that he had converted in his Dark Dream!
However, the burly man's eyes were closed, and the clearer his body was, the more damaged it was. His aura was weak, but the summoning aura emanating from him caused Wang Baole to immediately understand that this was the soul that had summoned him!
"Master said that he was the one who summoned me, and yet he wasn't. Perhaps … he was using this soul to summon me." Wang Baole looked at the burly man's soul thoughtfully, and his gaze softened. However, there were things that needed to be done, so he performed an incantation gesture. The Dark Core inside of him rotated, and one of the three Dark Tattoos that Ming Kunzi had given him in the Dark Dream vanished. It reappeared in front of Wang Baole and shot toward the burly man. It branded itself onto his forehead and fused into his soul. It was as if it had replaced his original memories and branded … the memories of the Dark Dream that Ming Kunzi had created!
Only when this was done would it mean that the Ship Spirit truly belonged to Wang Baole!
Everything in his dream had become reality!
A tremor ran through the burly man, and his eyes snapped open. He looked at Wang Baole, and his eyes filled with fervor. He immediately lowered his head, clasped hands, and bowed deeply!
"Ship Spirit offers greetings, Master!"
