Then, Wang Zhong's dry face and almost withered body appeared. The powerful energy that was emitted from Wang Zhong's blood was rapidly nourishing Grai's entire body. There was hope!
"Lao Wang, Lao Wang, control the flow of blood. Don't let him live. You'll die!" Simba shouted. Wang Zhong was really a child that would never grow up. Wang Zhong still needed his reminder at this moment. With his divine blood and Grai's powerful Blood Race physique, not only would he still be breathing, he might even be able to revive a mummy.
Grai's body had recovered to a level that was close to normal. The greenish-purple meridians on the surface of his body had disappeared, but his consciousness was drifting and refused to return …
"Grai! Wake up! Grai! "
Wang Zhong completely ignored Simba's complaints and continued to shout Grai's name. Beside him, the Headless Knight also let out whimpering sounds that reverberated in the empty castle. It was extremely horrifying.
… …
At that moment, in another fragment world, Scarlet's cultivation had reached a small stage.
The results were not bad. One could see that her body had become sparkling and translucent after soaking in the Jade Lake. Her entire temperament had also undergone an earth-shattering change from before her cultivation. She had become even more ethereal. If members of the Mo Family were here, they would definitely be very surprised. At that moment, Scarlet's temperament was 80% to 90% similar to Mo Xingchen's.
This was not a change that could be caused by an increase in strength. Such an ethereal temperament was closer to the natural laws of the world. It was as if she was the darling of the world. Thus, putting everything else aside, this kind of person would not encounter any major bottlenecks in their cultivation. Their affinity with the world was definitely one of the best among cultivators.
Sofia was very satisfied. She was extremely satisfied. She was so satisfied that her face was filled with excitement. She could not help but blush a little. She looked at this perfect body with a gaze filled with unparalleled admiration.
It seemed that Scarlet's natural endowments were above her expectations. This little disciple was definitely a gem. Furthermore, she was a late bloomer who would become even more impressive in the future! As long as she could snatch this body … This might be the best chance for her to survive the Heavenly Calamity in the past few hundred years!
Scarlet had just woken up from her meditative state. Before she could even feel the changes in her body, her master's undisguised gaze made her feel a little uncomfortable. She could not help but stretch out her hand to cover her increasingly full chest. "Master …"
"Why are you embarrassed in front of your teacher?" Sofia laughed. "How does it feel to break through your limits?"
The Heavenly Soul Stage defied the heavens and changed one's fate. It was a state that went against the laws of nature. Thus, if a Heroic Soul wanted to advance to the Heavenly Soul Stage, they first had to break through their own limits. If they could not even break through their own limits, how could they break through the rules of nature? Furthermore, only when one broke through the various limits that nature had set for one's life would one attract the attention of the universe's will. One would be seen as a mutated virus in the universe's body. Thus, the Heavenly Calamity would descend to punish or destroy one … This was the Heavenly Calamity. Only when one successfully passed the Heavenly Calamity would one be considered a Heavenly Soul expert who had truly transcended the mortal world.
"… Very full, very full …" Her teacher asked. Scarlet immediately calmed down and carefully experienced it. "However, I feel a little uneasy in my heart. It's as if I am not accepted by the world and is being excluded by the world. It's as if something bad will happen very soon …"
"Your body has not broken through its limits, but you can already feel the exclusion of the world …" Sofia maintained a gentle smile on her face. "This is a good sign. It proves that your sixth sense is very sharp. Don't worry. This is just your self-perception before you pass the Heavenly Calamity."
Everyone in the Holy Land knew that Heavenly Souls had to pass the Heavenly Calamity. However, there were two types of Heavenly Calamities.
One was the major Heavenly Calamity. This was the Heavenly Calamity that people often mentioned when they returned to Earth to retire after failing to pass the Heavenly Calamity. However, in reality, the major Heavenly Calamity was extremely dangerous. If one really failed, one would definitely die. One would instantly turn into ashes, and not even a bit of one would be left. How could one return to Earth to retire after failing to pass the Heavenly Calamity? Those who returned to Earth to retire claimed that they had failed to pass the Heavenly Calamity, but in reality, they did not even have the qualifications to pass the Heavenly Calamity. They had never seen a major Heavenly Calamity …
The other was the minor Heavenly Calamity, also known as the Karma Calamity. It was something that Heroic Souls had to face when advancing to the Heavenly Soul Stage. Although it was not as fatal as the major Heavenly Calamity, if one failed, the death rate was still as high as 70%. The remaining 30% who were lucky enough to survive would become completely useless. They would definitely not be able to cultivate as it was definitely dangerous.
"When a Heroic Soul breaks through to the Heavenly Soul Stage, they break through themselves. Thus, the calamity that they have to face is also caused by themselves." Recently, whenever Sophia had the time, she would tell Scarlet everything about the Karma Calamity to deepen her impression of it. She definitely could not fail this stage. "There are three types of Karma Calamity for ordinary practitioners: Hellfire, Purgatory Soul, and Inner Demons.
"The strength of these three calamities varies from person to person. The Hellfire is born from the heart and is related to your involvement in the mortal world. The more you have concerns and concerns, the more karma you are involved in, and the stronger the Hellfire is. It will burn your internal organs and cannot be extinguished. Furthermore, these are the most difficult and vulnerable parts of the Heroic Soul Stage. You can only rely on your Soul Power to protect them and bitterly endure until the Hellfire is completely dispersed. Many Heroic Souls will try their best to settle their affairs before they pass the Heavenly Calamity. Some even fake their deaths to get rid of their identities so that they will have fewer concerns … "
Scarlet listened seriously. In the past, she knew that Heroic Souls had to pass the Heavenly Calamity to advance to the Heavenly Soul Stage, but she had no idea what kind of calamity they had to pass. This was the first time she had heard of it.
Hellfire? Cut off all ties with his family? What was the point of cultivating then?
Although Scarlet did not refute, she had other considerations in her heart. Putting aside the fact that she was constantly worried about her parents and grandfather on Earth, she definitely could not cut off her relationship with Wang Zhong. What her teacher had told her was obviously the safest method, but people were ultimately different. Perhaps there were many people in this world who would pursue power at all costs, but there were also many people who chose to cultivate to protect their family.
In this aspect, there was not the slightest bit of confusion in Scarlet's eyes. She seemed clear and pure, and there was even a longing in her eyes.
She had chosen this difficult path of cultivation so that her family on Earth could live a better life and so that she could help Wang Zhong and catch up to him. She would not even think about putting the cart before the horse.
Sophia obviously knew what she was thinking and did not expose her. Instead, she continued to say, "The Tempering Soul Calamity refines your soul. You will feel as if you have fallen into an illusion and are faced with endless enemies. Either you kill all the enemies and escape from the illusion, or you will be killed by those illusory enemies. From then on, your soul will disappear and you will become a vegetable. This is related to your own strength. The stronger you are, the more powerful the enemies you will face will be. Under normal circumstances, this stage is actually not difficult. Do you remember that I told you that Soul Guards are useless? Soul Guards are bound to your soul, so they will enter the illusion of the Tempering Soul Calamity together with you. Hehe, that is equivalent to having two selves, so the enemies and difficulties you will face will be doubled! "
When she said this, Sophia seemed to have thought of something funny, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She thought of Scarlet's boyfriend, Wang Zhong. She heard that not only did he have a summoned beast on Earth, but after entering the Holy Land, he inexplicably gained two more Soul Guards … Heh heh, he seemed to be very impressive, and he even made a name for himself during the Holy Disciple Challenge. However, one had to know that Soul Guards and summoned beasts had similar effects. They would also increase the danger in the Soul Refinement Realm. With three Soul Guards, the difficulty would triple. No one in the history of the Holy Land had ever passed such a Soul Refinement Calamity.
Sophia did not have a good impression of Wang Zhong at all, but she was rather curious. She wanted to see how miserable this fellow would die when he underwent the double Tempering Soul Calamity. It was a pity that she could not wait.
She was about to take over Scarlet's body. If Wang Zhong did not die before then, he would definitely cause trouble for her. Sophia did not care about a mere Heroic Soul, even if he had killed a Sword Saint before. However, Sacred Teacher Leyson was behind this fellow, and Sophia was very apprehensive. It was better to deal with him first … She also did not know how Bolton's matter was going.
Speak of the devil. Sophia's Skylink rang just as she said that. She did not hide it from Scarlet and casually opened it to take a look. It was a message from Bolton. There were only eight simple words in it.
"He went in. That place."
Sophia knew what 'that place' meant. Bolton had told her about his plan before they executed it.
It was an ownerless fragment world that once belonged to a god-level expert. It was good stuff, and there might even be a relic left behind by that god-level expert. It would make people envious, but it was a pity that one could enter but not leave.
Every fragment world was a one-way passageway that one could only enter but not exit. After entering, there was only one way to leave, and that was to subdue the World Will of the fragment world and completely control it. Naturally, one could enter and exit as they wished.
However, just like how a space crystal needed to be recharged every year to maintain its stability, a fragment world was of a higher level and required its owner to continuously use Soul Power to maintain it. Needless to say, the fragment world of a god-level expert was vast and boundless. Naturally, the amount of Soul Power needed to maintain it would also be higher. This thing was good, but she was a mere Great Teacher. She might not be able to bear the terrifying consumption of Soul Power. Furthermore, from the information provided by Bolton's investigation, it was most likely a fragment world that was on the verge of destruction. It must have been ownerless for too long and had not been replenished by its owner's energy for too long. As a result, the internal energy was chaotic, and it directly collapsed.
The internal rules of such a fragment world would definitely be very chaotic. It was impossible to imagine what the situation inside was like. Perhaps even the World Will had completely disappeared. If that was the case, even the last possibility of subduing it would be gone. That would truly be a hopeless situation with no chance of survival. Even if Sophia went in, there was a 99.99% chance that she would not be able to come out, let alone Wang Zhong.
"It's a pretty good grave." Sophia was in a good mood. She had gotten rid of another problem, and all she had heard today was good news. She could not help but laugh heartily.
"Is it Senior Bolton?" Beside her, Si Jiali was a little puzzled. She should be happy when her teacher was happy, but for some reason, her heart skipped a beat, and she could not bring herself to smile. Perhaps it was because her teacher had mentioned the word 'grave' that Si Jiali blamed herself. Or perhaps it was because she was about to face the minor Heavenly Calamity that made her overly sensitive.
"Yes." Sophia smiled and nodded. "Ignore him. Let's continue …"
… … …
At the same time, Si Jiali was not the only one who was breaking through. Wang Zhong was surprised to discover that Grai's body was also rapidly breaking through.
It seemed that after drinking his divine blood, Grai's Blood Race bloodline had undergone some changes. Not only did his body rapidly recover to its normal state, his various bodily functions were also rapidly improving.
The greenish-purple meridians that had disappeared gradually became faintly discernible in his body. However, they were different from the ones that protruded from the surface of his skin. These meridians were buried deep within his body. It was only because his skin and flesh had become sparkling and translucent, and his blood had become multicolored that they became abnormally conspicuous in his body.
Wang Zhong could clearly sense that his blood was recovering and changing. It was slightly different from Grai in the past. This body was becoming increasingly powerful, and it even started to produce an aura that made Wang Zhong feel danger. It was as if his ancient bloodline was awakening. The pure aura made it seem as if the ancestor of the Blood Race had personally arrived!
His Soul Power was also rapidly improving. The Soul Power defense that was naturally produced on the surface of his body produced a rebounding force. Even Wang Zhong, who was merely hugging Grai, felt that his arms were slightly sore and numb. However, the strange thing was that even though his body had undergone such a huge change, Grai still had not woken up.
The changes to his physical body continued. Wang Zhong simply put Grai down and sat cross-legged beside him. As he waited, he adjusted his divine cells and Soul Power to recover.
The sun and moon in the sky did not move, and the laws around him were chaotic. He could not sense the flow of time at all. After an unknown period of time, Wang Zhong felt that he had more or less recovered. Suddenly, he heard a light sound, and he opened his eyes.
In front of him, Grai's changes had stopped. His body was no longer sparkling and translucent like before. It seemed to have returned to the appearance of a normal person, but the aura that his body emitted was completely different from before. Wang Zhong could clearly sense a sense of completeness from his body. He was powerful and reserved.
Semi-Heavenly Soul!
Furthermore, it was only at this moment that the changes to his body completely stopped that Wang Zhong saw Grai's fingers move slightly. Closely after, he slowly opened his eyes.
Grai had woken up. It seemed that he had been unconscious for too long. There was still a hint of confusion in his eyes when he woke up.
Where was this?
He did not lose his memory. He was just temporarily confused. It was as if he had just woken up from a dream. Some memories flashed in his mind.
