737 The Black and White Dragon Egg (1/2)
Next to Mo Wen's leg was a large, pure white egg of light. On the egg of light, beautiful ancient runes flickered. These runes appeared and disappeared from time to time. They were visible for one second and invisible the next. They were exceptionally mysterious. Beams of starlight surged into the egg of light, causing some starlight to be added to its surface. It seemed as though the vast and beautiful starry sky was imprinted on it.
Two Divine Dragons, one black and one white, constantly moved about on the egg of light. They subtly emanated a remarkable power.
The exquisite Purple Bottle Gourd sat on Mo Wen's head. It released beams of purple light which fused with the surrounding starlight. The beams of light became a bridge, connecting the egg of light and Mo Wen.
Endless starlight kept surging into the cocoon of light. Time seemed to have stopped. He did not know how much time had passed. It was seemingly a lot and yet seemingly only an instant.
The lights in the starry sky went out one by one, seemingly burning up the last of their brilliant light. Eventually, all the starlight was extinguished, and the world was dark. Only within the cocoon of starlight was a faint light still visible.
A faint white light shone on Mo Wen's eyebrows. The light flashed and a human silhouette appeared in the cocoon of light. The silhouette was very illusionary. It seemed that a gust of wind could blow it out of existence. But in the cocoon of starlight, it was exceptionally stable, as though the end of the world would not affect it.
Mo Wen looked extremely shocked as he observed his surroundings and then looked at his own body. Before his eyes was a figure that was sitting cross-legged with the exquisite Purple Bottle Gourd sat properly on its head. The black and white dragon egg was below at its feet. Nothing had changed. The only change was that his soul had left his body.
”Primordial Soul Emergence?”
A bizarre term surfaced in Mo Wen's mind, along with a sense of disbelief. Primordial Soul Emergence could only be done by immortal cultivators whose cultivation had reached the Primordial Soul realm and had coalesced a Primordial Soul. Only immortal cultivators that possessed a Primordial Soul could independently leave their own bodies.
Right now, he was but an ancient martial art practitioner. How could he perform a Primordial Soul Emergence?
Although the silhouette that had separated from his body was very illusionary, it was indeed a Primordial Soul Emergence, an embodiment of the substantialization of the soul.
Mo Wen slowly lifted his hands and looked at his illusionary body. After pondering deeply for a moment, he finally confirmed that he was not a Primordial Soul, but an existence that was between a soul and a Primordial Soul. Or maybe it should be said that his soul power had localized, becoming even more abundant and much vaster.
Although he had previously also had a Localized Soul, at most only one percent of his soul power had deified. Now, fifty percent of his soul power had deified. Deified Soul Power was the foundation for coalescing a Primordial Soul. Only by converting all his soul power into Deified Soul Power could he coalesce a Primordial Soul.
With his soul power being fifty percent Deified Soul Power, it could be said that he had exceeded that of a formless soul without essence, and reached a level where he had a form but still lacked essence, somewhere in between a soul and a Primordial Soul.
Once he coalesced a Primordial Soul, his soul would have both form and essence.
The way of Practice of the Divine Soul Trillion Layers could only cause at most two to three percent of his soul power to be converted into Deified Soul Power. He had never imagined a fifty percent conversion rate because it did not seem possible.
But what was going on now? He had actually inexplicably reached it and without any explanation.
Mo Wen looked at his own body. He discovered that his soul and body had completely lost their connection. He could not control his body at all.
In reality, he could not control his body at all before this. He had been constantly in a daze, not knowing what was happening.
His most vivid memory from before this was defeating the Dragon Horse. Then, the Purple Bottle Gourd had appeared, followed by a white light enveloping him. He was clueless as to what happened after that.
”What's going on?”
Mo Wen looked at everything around him. Right now, he could not figure out why he had appeared here or what everything was around him.
He looked at his own body. He felt an endless spiritual aura surging into his body. It felt as though he had become one with the world. The spiritual aura that he obtained before, compared to what he had now, was practically child's play.
”What is that?”
Mo Wen turned his gaze and looked at the dragon egg at his feet. A stunned look flashed in his eyes as he looked at the two ancient Divine Dragons, one white and one black, on the dragon egg. Somewhat shocked, he said, ”Could it be...a Dragon Horse?”
Mo Wen had a strange expression. Wasn't the Dragon Horse dead? How had it appeared here, and how had it become a dragon egg? On the surface of the dragon egg, there was, without a doubt, the aura of the Dragon Horse. The final attack of the Dragon Horse had burnt it up completely, including its soul. It should have been impossible for it to have survived.
He looked at everything before him, somewhat stunned. At the same time, he also discovered that beams of starlight kept surging into his illusionary body. As time passed, his illusionary soul became more and more solid. After some time, its appearance did not look any different from his flesh body.
Not only had he never seen such a thing, Mo Wen had never even heard of something like that happening. Even the Primordial Soul realm immortal cultivator's Primordial Soul could not have coalesced to such a degree.
After his soul body completely coalesced, an attractive force came from his flesh body, instantly sucking his soul back in.
Suddenly, Mo Wen opened his eyes. In his gaze, he could see the moon and the stars shining. It seemed as though the whole universe was stored in his eyes.
His consciousness was completely awakened. But he discovered that he still could not move at all.
