Chapter 457 - Sixth-Level Essence Soul (1/2)

From the moment his artistic realm ‘stepped into the Dao,’ his Essence Soul gradually transformed every time he painted. After reaching the Grotto-Heaven realm, one just required sufficient time for their Essence Soul to become a fifth-level Essence Soul. After becoming a fifth-level Essence Soul, the benefits of passive growth would be much lesser than before.

After reaching the Heaven Earth realm, a cultivator’s Essence Soul would definitely become a sixth-level Essence Soul given enough time.

As for obtaining a seventh-level Essence Soul? One needed to undergo emotional upheavals! They needed to create their own cultivation techniques to trigger the Essence Soul’s transformation! Either that or they could obtain special opportunities like Essence Soul cultivation techniques. In short, to countless living beings in the River of Spacetime, obtaining a seventh-level Essence Soul was their limit.

Even Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s Essence Soul stayed at the seventh-level for his entire life.

Obtaining an eighth-level Essence Soul? This meant one was an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence! One required talent and opportunities to reach this step. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Meng Chuan’s brush moved like a dragon. He painted to his heart’s content.

Not every technique could be fused with brushstrokes. If it was an ultimate technique that had a strong baneful aura? What if it were a paramount technique? If the technique didn’t match the mood, then it wouldn’t be suitable to use it whilst painting a beautiful woman.

The Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique was like a brush that used the world as a canvas. Thus, it was very suitable for painting. Meng Chuan found his brushstrokes very beautiful as he painted. Every stroke stirred the natural law’s profundities and the Heaven and Earth powers. At the same time, the brushstrokes touched his heart. The painting seemed to transform into a grotto-heaven gradually. Usually, a grotto-heaven was unable to be depicted within an ordinary painting. However, this painting gradually formed an illusory grotto-heaven.

The ancients did not lie. A picture can really speak a thousand words. This painting is a world in itself. Meng Chuan sighed inwardly. When one reaches the Grotto-Heaven realm, their paintings can form an illusory grotto-heaven if their painting techniques are sufficiently brilliant.

Halfway through his painting, Meng Chuan sensed the changes in his Essence Soul.

My Essence Soul has broken through? Meng Chuan was overjoyed. In his sea of consciousness, the slowly rotating Essence Soul Star and the revolving black Magic Awl originally emitted spiritual glows. However, they were now beginning to transform.

IS.

This was a transformation of the Essence Soul’s Origins-a qualitative change. His fifth-level Essence Soul had broken through the barrier and became a sixth-level Essence Soul. His Essence Soul perception domain now had a range of 25 kilometers.

It’s been 17 years since I attained a fifth-level Essence Soul Meng Chuan was secretly delighted by his Essence Soul’s transformation. I’ve finally attained a sixth-level Essence Soul.

Meng Chuan quickly calmed down before commanding his Essence Soul with a thought. Fuse.

The black Magic Awl fused with his Essence Soul Star completely.

Separate, commanded Meng Chuan with another thought.

The rotating Essence Soul Star split into two; the binary Essence Soul Stars slowly revolved around the barycenter.

Swoosh.

One of the Essence Soul Stars flew out of his body and transformed into a slightly darker Meng Chuan. It was his Essence Soul avatar.

I can form an Essence Soul avatar? The two Meng Chuans exchanged looks. He found Essence Soul avatars rather intriguing.

Ultimately, an Essence Soul avatar only had a part of his Essence Soul. It wasn’t a complete lifeform. Although it could act independently, it still relied on his true body. Once it was destroyed, the dissipated Essence Soul would quickly return to his true body. Once his true body died, his Essence Soul avatar would die as well. The Essence Soul avatar could only stay in the same world as the true body. It couldn’t go to other worlds if Meng Chuan’s true body wasn’t there.

A Corporeal Avatar was the only exception to this rule. An Imperial Lord could create a Corporeal Avatar. Once an Essence Soul avatar merged with the Corporeal Avatar, it would become a complete lifeform.

When that happened, the avatar was no different from the true body.

If the true body died, the avatar could still live on. Furthermore, the avatar could reform the true body through cultivation. When the avatar died, the original body would remain unaffected. The Corporeal Avatar could also be re-cultivated. Due to this strange relationship, the two were as important as each other.
