It was an unintentional mistake, but it made Xing Jue realize that the Soul Elder would not live forever. As a Venerable Weapon, without a body was like a human without a body, turning into a spirit body.
Under the wear down of time, it would disappear one day. However, the Soul Elder would not be like a spirit body, where his life would weaken as his strength weakened.
Instead, he would wear down his life while maintaining his strength. Although the Soul Elder did not say how long he could live after some interrogation, Xing Jue knew that he did not have much time left.
Knowing that the Soul Elder was in such a difficult situation, Xing Jue naturally would not blame the Soul Elder for not helping him find cultivation materials. After all, the Soul Elder had been helping him find out the whereabouts of his father while looking for materials.
"Xing Jue, on the path of cultivation, you can't rely on others. You must rely on yourself."
"If you grow up in a greenhouse and don't experience hardships, no matter how high your cultivation is, you may not be able to become a strong person," the Soul Elder reminded Xing Jue after explaining his own situation to Xing Jue.
"Yes!" Xing Jue nodded slightly. He naturally knew the reason behind it.
Seeing Xing Jue's expression of enlightenment, the Soul Elder smiled with satisfaction. Then, he waved his sleeve and the pale white hurricane that pervaded the surroundings disappeared.
At this moment, a mechanical ship could be clearly seen floating in the clouds ten thousand meters away from the two of them.
After the hurricane dissipated, Xing Jue returned to the mechanical ship, and the Soul Elder personally gave some instructions to Tang Lian.
The contents of the instructions were naturally related to Xing Jue. It was nothing more than asking Tang Lian to keep Xing Jue's identity a secret, not letting outsiders know that Xing Jue had such a background, and to take care of Xing Jue.
However, what made Xing Jue helpless was that the Soul Elder actually revealed a hint of threat in his words. However, Tang Lian also seemed to be affected by the Soul Elder and revealed a look of fear.
After the Soul Exalt left, the ship continued on its journey. Xing Jue and Tang Lian didn't become estranged from each other because of the small interlude that occurred during the journey. They continued to chat happily, but Tang Lian didn't ask about the Soul Exalt or Xing Jue's family background. Naturally, this had to do with the Soul Exalt's instructions.
The sun set in the west, and the darkness of the night draped over one's shoulders. The river of stars slowly flowed in the sky, and when viewed from above the clouds, it seemed even more resplendent and dazzling.
Looking at Tang Lian, who was fast asleep, Xing Jue opened his palm, and the dark blue Soul Orb appeared.
"It really is a good thing!"
As he looked at the Soul Orb, which was surrounded by a gorgeous light and contained an incomparably dense Soul Energy, Xing Jue couldn't help but smile in anticipation.
The Soul Exalt had risked his life to snatch the Soul Orb when Lu Yuan was condensing it. This was all so that Xing Jue could strengthen his Soul Energy. This way, it would be easier for him to cultivate his Soul Skills.
However, the Soul Exalt didn't know that Xing Jue could rely on the Soul Devouring Art to convert Soul Energy into his own strength.
According to Xing Jue's estimation, if he refined such a dense Soul Orb, it would definitely not be a problem for him to break through to a high-ranked Asura Martial Master.
Thinking of this, Xing Jue gently tossed his wrist, and the Soul Orb flew up in a semi-circular arc. It opened its mouth and landed in Xing Jue's mouth.
After the Soul Orb entered his mouth, Xing Jue formed a hand seal and began to refine it with his eyes closed. In the past, refining Soul Essences was done outside the body, but this Soul Orb was special. It had to be refined inside the body.
In fact, Xing Jue was special. He dared to refine this Soul Orb with his current strength and body. According to the Soul Exalt, even a powerhouse like Lu Yuan had to be careful when refining this Soul Orb. He didn't dare to be careless.
After refining it, Xing Jue was shocked to find that this Soul Orb was much more difficult to refine than Soul Essences. Even with his current strength, he had only refined a little after a few hours.
Fortunately, the distance between the eastern region and Reincarnation Peak was long. It was said that it would take at least a month to travel day and night on a machine-operated ship.
During this month, Xing Jue would use cultivation as an excuse every day to secretly refine this Soul Orb in his body. After a month, Xing Jue finally completely refined the Soul Orb.
"Boom!" A loud sound came from within the ship. The originally stable machine-operated ship started to shake left and right. This was not a hurricane, nor was it an attack from an enemy. It was the sound caused by Xing Jue's breakthrough.
"What's going on?" The sudden change startled Tang Lian, who was in her sleep, and she nervously looked at her surroundings.
"Junior Brother Xing Jue, you … broke through?" However, she quickly sensed that Xing Jue's aura had increased by several times.
"Sorry, I've disturbed Senior Sister." Xing Jue smiled apologetically.
At this moment, he was extremely excited. He was shocked to discover that the Soul Orb that had been completely refined had obtained an extremely powerful Soul Power.
Not only had it allowed him to break through to the Advanced Asura Martial Master level, but he was also not far from the Asura Martial Master level. According to Xing Jue's estimates, if he used the Body Refining Essence to refine his body every day, he would be able to break through again in less than two months and reach the Asura Martial Master level.
"It seems like the Soul Venerable was right. If I have enough cultivation resources, I might really be able to stand at the top of this world within three years!"
Xing Jue sighed in his heart. However, he also knew that something as precious as the Soul Orb was definitely difficult to find in this world. Otherwise, the direct disciple of the Hermit Peak would not have been so crazy about it.
Actually, at this moment, Xing Jue admired the Soul Venerable. The fact that he was able to escape from such a strong expert showed that his ability to escape was extraordinary. It was no wonder that he dared to travel around and search for resources to condense his body.
"Junior Brother Xing Jue, look, we're almost there. That's the Reincarnation Peak."
However, at this moment, Tang Lian's face was suddenly filled with joy as she pointed into the distance.
Turning around to look, Xing Jue could not help but be shocked. He was shocked to discover that there was actually a mountain peak that pierced through the clouds in the distant horizon. The peak pierced straight into the blue sky and one could not see its end. It was like a flight of stairs that connected heaven and earth.
The most mysterious thing was that the peak was actually emitting a red brilliance. Under the illumination of the moon, it was like a pillar of light. It was extremely gorgeous. That was one of the Five Finger Peaks, the Reincarnation Peak.
Originally, when Xing Jue saw the Reincarnation Peak, he thought that he had really reached the Reincarnation Peak. However, he later realized that he was wrong.
That was because an entire night had passed. The curtain of night had already receded and the sunlight covered the clouds. Even though the Reincarnation Peak had expanded quite a bit, it still seemed like it was on the horizon. It could be seen but not reached.
"What a huge mountain. I wonder what kind of colossus this Reincarnation Peak Peak is when I look at it up close." Looking at the Reincarnation Peak that had become much clearer, Xing Jue could not help but sigh in admiration.
In his heart, he had originally thought that the Reincarnation Peak was just an ordinary mountain. It was only because of its outstanding strength that it was revered by everyone.
However, only when he saw the true face of the Reincarnation Peak did Xing Jue realize that the Reincarnation Peak was simply a miraculous sight. It was the first time in his life that he had seen it.
"Heh … Junior Brother Xing Jue, when I first came here, I was just as surprised as you were."
"When you become an inner disciple in the future, you can enter the Reincarnation Peak. At that time, you will know exactly how amazing the Reincarnation Peak is." Tang Lian smiled as she reminded him, revealing the pride of being a disciple of the Reincarnation Peak.
"Eh … Senior Sister Tang Lian, are you saying that we can't enter the Reincarnation Peak yet?" Xing Jue's expression changed slightly. He had already understood the meaning behind Tang Lian's words.
"Yes, nominal disciples are not allowed to enter the Reincarnation Peak. You will be training in another place. You can only become an inner disciple after you become an Asura Martial Master."
Just as Tang Lian had said, after flying for another day, the huge silhouette of the Reincarnation Peak became clearer. However, Xing Jue and Tang Lian had landed on a lush green mountain range.
Within the mountain range, old trees took root, waterfalls flowed, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and birds. It was a peaceful place to train.
Whether it was the environment of the mountain range or the luxurious buildings, they were many times better than the Limitless Court. However, after seeing the majestic Reincarnation Peak, a place like this could no longer attract Xing Jue's attention.
At that moment, Xing Jue only had one thought in his mind, and that was to become an Asura Martial Master as soon as possible so that he could enter the Reincarnation Peak and find the answer to his father's question.
"Ahhh ~ ~ ~ ~"
In a certain luxurious palace in the mountain range where the nominal disciples trained, a heart-wrenching scream resounded continuously. The person who made the sound was none other than Xing Jue, who was soaking in a bathtub and using the Body Refining Essence to temper his body.
After arriving here, Xing Jue successfully obtained the title of a nominal disciple under Tang Lian's recommendation. After making arrangements for Xing Jue's accommodation, Tang Lian returned to the Reincarnation Peak.
Today was Xing Jue's first day here, and also his first night here. Vaguely sensing that he was about to reach the Asura Martial Master level, Xing Jue immediately began self-mutilating body-tempering training.
This was because Xing Jue was not curious about the training methods here. He only wanted to reach the Asura Martial Master level as soon as possible so that he could apply to the elder to become an inner disciple.
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong …"
However, there was always a difference between imagination and reality. On the third day of Xing Jue's closed-door training, someone knocked on the door of his palace.
"Eh … You're still here. I haven't seen you in three days. I thought something had happened to you."
Opening the door of the palace, a man who was not tall but had a simple and honest face smiled at Xing Jue. Seeing the red clothes he wore and his high-level Asura Martial Master strength, Xing Jue knew that he was also a nominal disciple of the Reincarnation Peak.
"What's the matter?" Xing Jue had just finished his body-tempering training and was resting at the moment, so he was not in the mood to chat with anyone.
"It's like this. You're new here, so you might not know. Today is the monthly assessment of cultivation results. If you don't participate, you won't be able to get the cultivation resources for the next month." The man explained with a smile.
At this moment, Xing Jue realized that this man was a good person. He was here to remind him not to miss the assessment.
Actually, Tang Lian had told Xing Jue about the monthly assessment of cultivation results. However, Xing Jue did not pay attention to it and actually forgot about the time.
"Senior Brother Li, what's the assessment? What are the cultivation resources? " At this moment, Xing Jue already knew that the man's surname was Li. At this moment, he was leading the way to the assessment ground.
"The assessment is actually very simple. It's nothing more than a competition between nominal disciples. The higher the ranking, the more cultivation resources."
"As for the cultivation resources, they are Body-Tempering Essence and Pain Melting Water." The man smiled.
"Body-Tempering Essence? What rank? "Hearing the words" Body-Tempering Essence ", Xing Jue was immediately interested.
"It's Rank 3 Body-Tempering Essence!"
"Then what is Pain Melting Water?"
"Pain Melting Water is a special water used in conjunction with Rank 3 Body-Tempering Essence. Only by tempering one's body in Pain Melting Water can one cultivate. Otherwise, one's life will be worse than death. It's said that it's extremely painful!"
"What? There's such a good thing? "Hearing this, Xing Jue was instantly shocked!
