Chapter 631: Godhead Strata (2/2)

“One hundred years and only a seventy percent chance?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyebrows rose to his forehead at Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi’s explanation.

Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi harrumphed at Huang Xiaolong’s doubt, “If not for your True Dragon Physique enabling you to absorb the lightning force hidden within the deep void, purifying your soul, forget one hundred years, you’d be hard pressed to touch a seventy percent chance even if you were given ten thousand years! You think it's so easy to form a godhead? If it were so, Highgod Realm masters would be overcrowding the galaxies everywhere. Just like that Eldest Senior Apprentice-brother Liu Yun of your, he had at least ten thousand years of cultivation, right? If he forcefully makes a breakthrough attempt at this stage, his success rate would not even be half!”

Huang Xiaolong was stupefied.

“What, cat got your tongue?” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi taunted, “Still, your condition may not necessarily take a hundred years, if you can find some naturally born lightning treasure, there would be a chance of reducing it down to a dozen years or so. Then again, achieving complete soul purity can only form an average godhead.”

Huang Xiaolong ate another piece of shock pie, “Then what level of soul purity does one need to be considered high level? Wait, godheads have different ranks too?!”

A lazy laugh came from Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi before he continued, “When you awoke your martial spirits at age seven, martial spirits were also divided into strong and weak, a total of fourteen grades, no? Just the same, godheads have their own distinctions and levels, from rank one to rank ten. Above rank ten, there are even king rank and emperor rank. Above the emperor rank is the supreme deity godheadThe supreme deity godhead is the strongest of all, also known as the lord of godheads! Under the heavens, each individual that was able to form a lord of godheads were all lauded monstrous geniuses with astonishing growth, a hegemony existence spanning across worlds! However, as far as I know, there has never been anyone from the Black Tortoise Galaxy able to form a lord of godheads !”

Huang Xiaolong sucked in a breath of cold air, “Not a single person in tens of thousands of years?!”

Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi nodded, “That’s right, not only the Black Tortoise Galaxy, even the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermillion Bird Galaxies don't have anyone who succeeded in forming that level of godhead in numerous thousands of years. A completely limpid soul, in general, could form a rank four or five godhead, which would be average. If it is a rank seven godhead, that is considered a high-rank godhead. In all four galaxies, the number of people who could form a godhead above rank seven is very little, the probability is one or two in a hundred.”

Huang Xiaolong could barely retain his calm hearing this.

Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi’s tone suddenly turned complacent, “My original body is a Five-clawed Golden Dragon. Cultivating in the ancient Dragon Clan’s supreme techniques, the godhead I formed that year was known as the Heavenly Dragon Godhead, a rank seven godhead that borders the eighth rank.”

Capable of forming a rank seven godhead infinitely close to rank eight, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi indeed had the capital to feel proud!

“When I formed my godhead, my soul’s clarity was like a jewel radiating reflections of white light.” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi described. “With your True Dragon Physique, you have a very high chance of forming a rank ten godhead.”

Huang Xiaolong’s brows were tightly scrunched, “Only rank ten?”

Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi was genuinely rendered speechless by Huang Xiaolong, “What do you mean ‘only rank ten’?! You think forming a rank ten godhead is an easy achievement? In the four galaxies, the highest ranking godhead ever formed was only rank nine, and that’s the first Black Warrior Institute Principal! Saying that you’re able to form a rank ten godhead is already tagging you as the freak genius amongst monstrous geniuses!”

Huang Xiaolong made a sheepish grin, “Oh, so the highest ranking godhead formed in the four galaxies was only rank nine ah.”

“You’re taking a rank ten godhead too lightly.” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi said, “A person’s talent determines the extent of clarity that one’s soul can achieve. For some, regardless of how many innate lightning treasures they consume to purify their souls, it would never achieve a state where their clarity rivals a clear jewel, therefore, they would never be able to form a high-rank godhead.”

‘So, it’s like that’, Huang Xiaolong was hit with a sudden realization.

Just moments ago, he was still thinking that if the clarity of one’s soul determines the rank of godhead one can form, then he only needed to search for innate lightning element treasures to help him purify his soul. But now it seems like merely continuously purifying the soul was no panacea, since the extent of a person’s soul clarity was limited by their innate talent.

“Then again, your True Dragon Physique evolves continuously. Who knows, the godhead you will form might not be a ‘mere’ rank ten.” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi added, “There’s a slim chance you could form a king rank godhead, or even an emperor rank!”
