The Asura Continent wasn't small, but it couldn't be compared to the Martial Sky Continent of the Mortal Realm. In fact, it could only be compared to the Eastern Continent of the Martial Sky Continent. With the Soul Exalt leading the way, the Asura Continent was quickly traversed through the Ancient Forest.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."
At this moment, what entered Xing Jue's ears were huge waves, and what entered Xing Jue's eyes was the boundless sea.
They had already flown out of the Asura Continent, and in front of them was the boundless deep blue sea.
"That's a drifting island? It really is strange. "
However, compared to the surging waves, Xing Jue's gaze was only attracted by the countless small islands on the coast.
Those islands were enveloped by a layer of light, and it was impossible to see what was inside. This was clearly the drifting island the Emperor had mentioned.
"There are no people on these drifting islands. They are like ghosts on the sea. No one knows where they come from or where they float to," said the Soul Exalt.
"What do you mean? Don't tell me that even you don't know who built this floating island? "Xing Jue's face was full of surprise.
"Ha, if you want to look into the history of the Soul Source World, after tens of thousands of years of twists and turns and battles, people only remember the present. Very few people know about the past."
"However, these drifting islands are eternal in the Soul Source World. They drift in the sea, coming and going in a small place like the Asura Continent."
"But in the end, they disappear into the depths of the sea, sinking to the bottom of the sea. Only when they complete their mission will they reappear on the sea."
"As for why they appear in this world, no one knows, and no one wants to know."
"Because they carry useless people, trash in the eyes of the world's experts."
"To the people of this world, strength is king. Only those who are stronger than them can attract their attention." The Soul Exalt continued to explain.
"It seems there are still many things I need to understand about this world."
After hearing the Soul Exalt's words, Xing Jue's lips curled into a faint smile. That smile contained endless anticipation and yearning.
After flying for nearly two hours over the vast sea, the sky suddenly dimmed, gradually replaced by endless darkness.
"Rumble, rumble!"
At this moment, a series of ear-piercing thunder roars entered Xing Jue's ears. Soon, an extremely spectacular scene appeared in front of Xing Jue.
The violent hurricane connected the heavens and the earth, stretching for tens of thousands of miles without an end in sight. It was like a wall blocking the way forward.
Amidst the hurricane, lightning snakes surged. Lightning flashed in all directions, filled with terrifying power. This was the Lightning Tempest.
Although the lightning storm was terrifying, as long as one reached the Asura realm and could grasp the power of Asura, they would not be able to cause any harm to it. Although they would be suppressed, they could still resist it.
Under the guidance of the Soul Exalt, Xing Jue shuttled through the lightning storm. It was as if he wasn't affected at all, as if he was still flying in the sky.
"Lightning Storm is only so-so?"
Xing Jue said in a somewhat bored manner as he looked at the surrounding rolling and connected hurricanes and the continuously surging thick lightning snakes.
"The Lightning Tempest is divided into two sides, favorable and unfavorable. The favorable side is just the louder side."
"The unfavorable side is the true power of the Lightning Tempest. With your strength, if you enter from the unfavorable side, you will be turned into ashes in an instant." Seeing Xing Jue's expression, the Soul Exalt rolled his eyes and snorted coldly.
"Favorable and unfavorable sides? Could it be that going backward from the storm is the unfavorable side? "Xing Jue was shocked.
"That's right. The Lightning Tempest does not stop the weak from the corners of the world, but the strong from the center of the world."
"Although the Soul Source World is vast, there are cultivators everywhere. Wherever there is land, there will be traces of cultivators."
"However, in the corners of the Soul Source World, there are countless lands similar to the Asura Continent."
"Many of these lands contain precious resources. If they are discovered by the cultivators in the center of the Soul Source World, they will definitely be occupied."
"Therefore, this is the true meaning of the existence of the Lightning Tempest. Speaking of which, the Lightning Tempest is the same as the Drifting Island. They are both eternal existences in the Soul Source World." Seeing Xing Jue's astonished face, the Soul Exalt explained again.
"But, can't a strong person like you pass through the Lightning Tempest and reach the Asura Continent?" Xing Jue asked.
"Heh, at my level, the resources on those continents are meaningless. Only places like the Isolated Forest can arouse my interest."
"It's the same reason. For the real strong people, the Asura Continent is not attractive at all."
"That's why the Isolated Forest on the Asura Continent has not been discovered until now."
"Because the real strong people will not be so free to go to such places for sightseeing," the Soul Exalt continued to explain.
After listening to the Soul Exalt's words, Xing Jue was suddenly enlightened.
The Drifting Island and the Lightning Tempest both had a special existence value. In other words, they were silently maintaining the law and balance of this world.
Although the Lightning Tempest was majestic, it quickly passed through the Soul Exalt's continent. After passing through the Lightning Tempest, there was a vast sea.
After seeing the Isolated Forest, the Drifting Island, and the Lightning Tempest, Xing Jue took the initiative to beg the Soul Exalt to open the Space Tunnel.
Because at this moment, what he wanted to do the most was to reach the center of the Soul Source World as soon as possible, that brand new world, that brand new land.
The Soul Exalt did not want to waste time in these places. Therefore, when Xing Jue took the initiative to ask, he did not refuse and opened the Space Tunnel.
Flying in the Space Tunnel, the speed of the Soul Exalt improved by leaps and bounds. After a day, when the two of them stepped out of the Space Tunnel, a brand new land appeared in front of Xing Jue.
"This is the Soul Source World?"
Looking at the rolling mountains and flowing rivers under his feet, Xing Jue's heart was filled with joy because he had finally arrived at the land that he had yearned for. This was the Sacred Region in his eyes.
"Nonsense. Speaking of which, the Asura Continent is also the land of the Soul Source World."
"And the land you are now is just the center of the Soul Source World. It's just that this land is so vast that you can't imagine it."
"In short, it's much bigger than your continent in the Mortal World." The Soul Exalt corrected.
"Heh, for me, this is the real Soul Source World, a brand new world." Xing Jue scratched his head and laughed.
"That's true. Well then, my mission is complete now that I've brought you here. You'll have to find a way to survive on your own." The Soul Exalt suddenly turned around and flew off into the distance.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"I say, Soul Exalt, you won't abandon me, will you?" Seeing this, Xing Jue was shocked. He quickly grabbed the Soul Exalt's robe and shouted nervously.
"I have no reason to care about you, right?" The Soul Exalt turned his head and replied indifferently.
"No reason? How can there be no reason? You and I have signed a contract. "
"In other words, I am your master. You have to protect me." Xing Jue widened his eyes and said indignantly.
"Contract? Master? Boy, don't talk nonsense. "
"Now that my body has been broken, I can no longer be said to be a Venerable Tool. To put it nicely, I am just a materialized soul body. How can I have a contract with a master?" The Soul Exalt explained reasonably.
"You … you …" After hearing the Soul Exalt's words, Xing Jue was somewhat speechless. He couldn't find a reason to refute the Soul Exalt.
"Moreover, the world is so big. You can't always grow under my protection, can you?"
"If you don't go through hardships, can you really grow?" The Soul Exalt asked with a dignified look.
After hearing the Soul Exalt's words, Xing Jue was silent.
Previously, he had indeed wanted to rely on the Soul Exalt. With such a strong person by his side to protect him as he grew, his future would indeed be much smoother.
But thinking about it again, what the Soul Exalt said was not without reason. If he had not been abandoned by his father in a corner of the Sky Martial Continent and experienced so many hardships, he might not have been able to achieve what he had today.
"Alright then. Thank you, Soul Exalt, for helping me reconstruct my body and help me become an Asura warrior."
"No matter what, Xing Jue will remember your great kindness."
After a moment of silence, Xing Jue suddenly smiled. His previously extremely nervous expression suddenly became calm. He actually bowed respectfully to the Soul Exalt.
"Xing Jue, it is not that I am cold and heartless. It is just that I have no choice but to do this."
"The reason why I escaped to the Asura Continent was because there was a strong enemy in this world."
"Right now, he is definitely still in this world. If he discovers my existence, I will definitely face a great disaster."
"Furthermore, my body has already been destroyed. I need to find new materials to reconstruct my body. Only then will I be able to recover the true power of my Exalt Artifact." Seeing Xing Jue like this, the Soul Exalt's heart ached. He felt apologetic.
Back then, Xing Jue's body had been destroyed because he had saved him.
Furthermore, he was not the one who had helped Xing Jue reconstruct his body. He had merely lent a helping hand to Xing Jue after Xing Jue had obtained the perfect body.
But right now, all the credit had fallen onto his head, causing him to feel extremely ashamed.
"Heh, look at what you're saying. You're treating me like an outsider. Is there a need to fuss about such things between us?"
But in the face of the Soul Exalt's apologetic words, Xing Jue did not care and chuckled indifferently.
"Xing Jue, even though you have extraordinary talent, this is a new beginning. Moreover, you are only a bottom-feeder."
"That ring of yours is not simple. If an expert discovers it, it will definitely attract unnecessary trouble."
"So, I suggest you wear a storage bracelet as a disguise. Don't attract unnecessary trouble."
"Furthermore, the Asura Condensed Stone in your body contains very strong Asura Energy. Although I do not know where you obtained it from, it will be of great help to you."
"If you refine it, it should not be difficult for it to help you break through to Intermediate Asura Realm in a short time."
"Most importantly, do not be too ostentatious. In this world, be it your Heaven Ranked Martial Technique or Superior Grade Spiritual Weapon, they are no longer something you can show off."
"If you were to encounter a disciple from a certain sect or faction, you wouldn't even know how you died." The Soul Exalt warned solemnly.
