Chapter 829: Transformation Of The Soul

Wave after wave of soul force rose in Huang Xiaolong’s soul sea, each one fiercer than the previous. A brilliant radiance lit up his soul sea akin to countless suns gathered together; a light so brilliant that it seemed as if it could pass through space, leaving a perpetual imprint of its trajectory in the universe.

Above his soul sea, flames of icy-blue, crimson red, and metallic white emitted vibrant energy, rippling outward. This energy reached every corner of Huang Xiaolong’s soul sea and continued to heighten the clarity of his soul.

As time passed, the brilliant light in his soul sea grew more and more dazzling and bright. Every ray of light was like a solid bridge cutting across space, evidence of Huang Xiaolong’s powerful soul force.

While the White Tiger Divine Fire was integrating with the Black Tortoise and Vermilion Bird Divine Fires, becoming a part of Hang Xiaolong, numerous cultivators were rushing toward the Heavenly Mountain.

The White Tiger Divine Fire spirit’s resounding roar had alerted everyone, down to the many cities at the foothills.

The fierce killing aura and thick roiling spiritual energy had everyone absolutely convinced that these were signs of the birth a peerless treasure.

Soon, hordes of cultivators from various sects and families gathered in front of the Heart Demon Swallowing Formation’s white mist, from low-level God Realm cultivation, to mid-level, high-level, and even two Highgod Realm masters.

These two Highgod Realm masters were part of the White Tiger Galaxy’s super forces, Dao Creed’s Chief Tao Gu, and his master Zhuang Yongfeng.

Last time, when Huang Xiaolong found a two-million-year-old Black Lotus here on the Heavenly Mountain, both Tao Gu and Zhuang Yongfeng had attempted to snatch it from his hands. When they were close to succeeding, Yang Yi and the Ascending Moon Old Man arrived, solving Huang Xiaolong’s dire situation.

In a way, Tao Gu and Zhuang Yongfeng were considered familiar faces to Huang Xiaolong.

“Master, what's the plan?” Tao Gu looked at the white mist in front of him with a hint of apprehension in his eyes, inquiring of his Master Zhuang Yongfeng.

Zhuang Yongfeng’s eyes flickered with hesitation.

It was no secret that, in many millennia, every Highgod Realm master that had entered this white fog never resurfaced again, including Second Order Highgod Realm masters; saying that he wasn’t afraid would be a downright lie.

“You go in first.” Zhuang Yongfeng suddenly turned his head to a Dao Creed Grand Elder.

Hearing Zhuang Yongfeng’s order, the Grand Elder shivered, his face paled, “An-ancestor, m-me…?”

Zhuang Yongfeng’s gaze sharpened like blades, faint killing intent seeping through his words, “You didn’t hear my order?”

That Dao Creed Grand Elder gritted his teeth. With a bloodlessly pale face he stepped in, disappearing into the white fog. After that, despite Zhuang Yongfeng keeping watch outside, the Grand Elder did not reappear.

The gathered cultivators were watching, and this result brought doubt and fear to their hearts. Even so, there were people who believed they were the lucky ones and flew straight into the white mist.

Of course, without exception, these people were like pebbles thrown into the vast ocean, disappearing noiselessly. The white mist was like a world unto itself, not even sound transmission jade slips could be used inside.

Despite that, when the White Tiger Galaxy’s Ancestor level characters heard the news, all of them rushed to the Heavenly Mountain. Hence, more and more people gathered outside the white mist.

The temptation of a peerless treasure had a few Highgod Realm Ancestors form a cooperative alliance to break past this white mist.

Before the numerous gazes from the large group of cultivators present, twelve Highgod Realm masters from various forces stepped in. Prior to entering, these Ancestors gave strict orders to their juniors to wait outside the mist.

But as days went by, one month had passed since the twelve Highgod Realm masters entered the formation, they too were akin to pebbles thrown into the vast ocean, disappearing without even causing a ripple.

One month turned into two, the situation inside the white mist was as calm as ever.

Then three months were gone, four months… The faces of the various disciples waiting outside grew anxious and tense.

While this was happening outside, in the fire grotto’s underground space, Huang Xiaolong’s body was like a crystal that was reflecting light as it was being tempered by the three great divine fires. Icy-blue, crimson red, and metallic white lights were shining on his skin. As time passed, the three lights became ever more blinding.

Looking from afar, Huang Xiaolong resembled a tri-colored human-shaped diamond, and his soul sea was painted with the three divine fire colors. The clarity of his soul reached such a high level that the light coming from his soul actually turned solid under the Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger Divine Fires’ effect!

A situation where intangible light turned into solid matter was unheard-of.
