"There's no attack … Could it be that the sequence of the technique has also reached the level of Heaven's Path? This … Who can cultivate it? "
Very quickly, they walked around the stones and arrived at the stone platform at the very center. Zhang Xuan was astonished.
What he used was the Heavenly Dao sequence, without a single mistake. And this stone forest was actually the same!
Didn't that mean that the cultivation technique recorded in it had already reached the Heaven Dao level?
"Looks like Kong Shi really has the Library of Heaven's Path, just like me!" Zhang Xuan thought to himself.
There was a high chance that the cultivation technique was left behind by Kong Shi, and Zhang Xuan was well aware of the unique properties of the Heaven's Path Divine Art. Only those who possessed Heaven's Path zhenqi would be able to cultivate it.
Otherwise, he would have imparted it to his students long ago so that they could improve quickly.
Ordinary cultivators would be unable to cultivate it, but the fact that Kong Shi was able to do so meant that... he possessed Heaven's Path zhenqi, allowing him to cultivate the Heaven's Path Divine Art. If that was the case...
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan knew that he would have to meet Kong Shi again to confirm his suspicions. Thus, he decided not to hesitate any longer. He calmed his mind and slowly reached for the Stone of Divine Crusade on the stone platform.
Buzz!
Sensing the incoming palm, the Stone of Divine Crusade released a dazzling light. For an instant, Zhang Xuan felt as if his soul had been plunged into lava, and a searing heat spread throughout his body.
"Hmph!"
Even with the Empyrean Heavenly Flame, he was still fine, so this little pressure was nothing to him at all. Thus, he grabbed it tightly in his hand and bit the tip of his finger, dripping a droplet of fresh blood onto it.
It didn't take long before the Stone of Divine Crusade stopped resisting and acknowledged him as its master.
Now that the stone had recognized him as its master, the pressure immediately vanished, replaced by a warm feeling. The figure on the Stone of Divine Crusade moved about, replenishing his soul energy, slowly strengthening his soul.
Knowing that this was an opportunity for him to undergo a metamorphosis, Zhang Xuan immediately sat down and drew his soul out of his body to touch the rock before him.
Rumble!
As his soul energy flowed into his Primordial Spirit, the strength of his Primordial Spirit swiftly surged. In an instant, he had already overcome the bottleneck of Aureate Body realm pinnacle, pushing for a breakthrough to a higher realm.
Two hours later.
He had already reached Great Sage 3-dan Intuitive Impulse realm consummation.
At this level, the rate at which one could progress would slow down. Lowering his head, he saw that the figure swimming around the Stone of Divine Crusade had stopped, seemingly exhausted.
"Looks like this thing also needs energy …"
He chuckled softly.
The Stone of Divine Crusade could raise the level of one's soul. However, just like spirit stones, it only contained a certain amount of soul force. It couldn't allow one to advance continuously.
However, he also knew that as long as he recuperated for a period of time, he would be able to use it again. Unlike spirit stones, which could only be used once.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Kong Shi to place it in a hall and pay such a huge price for it to be tested.
"What will happen if my soul breaks through the Sudden Inspiration?"
In the Intuitive Impulse realm, a cultivator would be able to sense the workings of the heavens, and through this, they would be able to avoid calamity. Zhang Xuan possessed the Library of Heaven's Path, and his zhenqi cultivation had reached such a level that it was very easy for him to suffer a backlash. Now that his soul had reached the same level, would there be a problem as well?
With such a thought in mind, Zhang Xuan sent his Primordial Spirit into his physical body to try and sense the will of the heavens.
Crack! Crack!
A ball of lightning struck him, causing him to twitch involuntarily.
"As expected …"
Zhang Xuan's lips twitched as his face darkened.
He had thought that such a situation would not occur after reaching Soul Dominion realm consummation, but who could have thought that it would not change at all?
From the looks of it, not even his soul could peer into the workings of the heavens. Otherwise, it would be no different from an inside job.
The greatest ability of the Intuitive Impulse realm was its ability to foresee danger. If he couldn't use this ability, his fighting prowess would be greatly reduced.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. He could only treat it as a boost to his strength.
Previously, he had only barely managed to defeat a Sempiternal realm consummation expert with the Dragonbone Divine Spear. If he wanted to kill the other party, he would have to resort to a sneak attack or other means. However, with his soul cultivation, he would be able to crush the other party easily.
Hu!
Knowing that he wouldn't be able to advance his soul cultivation anytime soon, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist and was just about to stow the Stone of Divine Crusade into his storage ring when an anxious voice suddenly sounded. "Master, can you lend me the Stone of Divine Crusade for a moment?"
"Vicious? You're awake? "
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
It was none other than Vicious, who had fallen into a deep slumber after swallowing the other party's sternum.
He didn't expect to wake up at this time.
"I just regained consciousness after the soul energy in the Stone of Divine Crusade dissipated. Master, can you lend me the Stone of Divine Crusade for the time being? My soul is currently in a weakened state, and I'll be able to recover swiftly with this!" Vicious said.
"I've already absorbed all the energy in the Stone of Divine Crusade …" Zhang Xuan frowned.
He had just achieved a breakthrough, so there was no harm in giving it to the other party.
It was just like a spirit stone without any spiritual energy. It was useless even if he held it in his hand.
"The Stone of Divine Crusade can only rely on natural absorption to store spiritual energy. I don't know how long it will take, but it's also not worthy of being called a treasure. Master, take me out first, and then give it to me!"
Vicious said.
"Alright." Zhang Xuan nodded. With a flick of his wrist, he took out the golden page and placed the Stone of Divine Crusade on it.
Huala!
Opening the book, Vicious revealed half of his body. With a light tap of his finger, the Stone of Divine Crusade flew out and circled around the Otherworldly Demons that he had just killed.
Buzz!
A moment later, the silhouette on the surface started moving again, emitting a dazzling radiance.
"This is … absorbing the souls of others?"
Zhang Xuan's eyes narrowed in astonishment.
Through his Eye of Insight, he could clearly see that the Stone of Divine Crusade had just absorbed the souls of the Otherworldly Demons and purified them into pure energy.
"Un. The Stone of Divine Crusade has the ability to purify and devour souls. To soul cultivators, it's even more important than Ancient Sage artifacts. Back then, the Seal of Souls of the Soul Oracle Guild was forged from the Stone of Divine Crusade!"
Vicious explained.
"The Seal of Souls was forged from the Stone of Divine Crusade?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before realization dawned upon him.
It was no wonder he felt a sense of familiarity when he first saw the Stone of Divine Crusade!
One must know that the Seal of Souls was in his possession as well, and it was currently stored in his storage ring. It was just that he had never used it before.
"To be able to absorb souls and convert them into pure soul energy … it's indeed a fearsome power!"
Zhang Xuan finally understood what was going on.
It was no wonder it was comparable to the Bodhi Fruit and the Aeon of Ancient Sage.
"Take it for now!"
While the ability sounded sinister, it depended on the wielder. In the hands of a good person, even the most sinister of objects could be used for good, but in the hands of an evil person, even the best of objects could be used as killing tools.
As such, the trial of the Stone of Divine Crusade was extremely perverse. It could be said that those who had not cultivated the Heaven's Path Divine Art would be unable to enter the Stone of Divine Crusade … So that was the case!
For some reason, Zhang Xuan had a feeling that Kong Shi was aware of his existence. It was clear that the Stone of Divine Crusade was reserved for him.
Had it been anyone else, they would have been unable to obtain it even if they wanted to.
"Thank you, Master!"
Vicious quickly absorbed the soul energy within the Stone of Divine Crusade to reinforce his soul energy.
