Chapter 899: Forming A Sub-soul (1/2)

During the following months, Nie Tian channeled star power and practiced cultivation on the roof of the stone pavilion the Divine Seal Sect had assigned to him.

By now, he was at the peak of the Worldly realm. His spiritual core and vortexes of wood power, flame power, and star power had all been refined to their limits.

The way he saw it, the reason why he still hadn’t broken through into the Profound realm was because his soul still lacked refinement.

Countless stars lit up the sky in the Realm of Maelstrom, which looked like a gigantic well.

There was a star core at the heart of every star. The starlight a star emanated carried faint power from its star core, which was that star’s soul power.

Nie Tian was channeling such soul power from the depths of the starry river and using it to strengthen his star souls.

However, it was very time-consuming to channel soul power from star cores and guide it into his star souls.

Nie Tian practiced wholeheartedly for several months, but the amount of soul power he gained from the starry river over the Realm of Maelstrom wasn’t even as much as the amount of soul power in a couple of soul crystals.

He pondered the matter for a long time, and eventually decided to cultivate with the precious soul crystals instead for higher efficiency.

Then, he left the roof of the stone pavilion and entered a secret room, where he took out soul crystals from within his ring of holding and started channeling soul power from them.

One soul crystal after another ran dry.

With the rapid soul crystal consumption, the nine star souls that floated over his sea of awareness gradually grew stronger.

Soon, they expanded to three times their original size.

Meanwhile, they shone dazzlingly over his sea of awareness, soothing and calming his mind in an unfathomable way.

It didn’t take very long before the refinement of his nine star souls reached its limit, since the star souls stopped expanding as they were infused with more soul power.

Therefore, Nie Tian realized that only after he broke through into the Profound realm would his sea of awareness undergo new changes, causing his star souls to further expand.

With this thought in mind, he started to think about things from another perspective.

Something suddenly occurred to him as he recalled the records regarding star souls. “By transferring one’s soul imprints, one can turn his star souls into sub-souls!”

Without hesitation, he took out another two soul crystals, one in each hand, and started to manipulate his true soul meticulously.

In his sea of awareness, his true soul started to rise, and slowly approached one of the expanded, glowing star souls.

Nie Tian went through every detail of the soul imprint transferring method over and over in his mind. Only after he was certain that he had fully grasped it did he fly his true soul into that star soul.

SHEW! SHEW! SHEW!

The soul crystals in his palms were rapidly drained of their pure soul power.

The newly-acquired soul power poured madly into that star soul.

The moment his true soul entered that star soul, his lifetime understandings of flame power that had been branded in his true soul seemed to morph into streaks of glorious light that were dispersed into that star soul, where they mixed with the soul power from the soul crystals.

At the same time, a vague awareness seemed to be awakened by Nie Tian’s true soul, and emerged within the star soul.

That vague, primal awareness was none other than that star soul’s original awareness.

Star souls were only called star souls because they were the souls of stars that powerful experts from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had peeled and refined from the cores of certain stars.

Every star soul could be considered an individual with its own awareness.

As Nie Tian’s understanding of flame power was transferred from his true soul to that star soul, that star soul’s original awareness was naturally awakened, and a profound soul connection seemed to be established between it and Nie Tian.

At this moment, Nie Tian had the most peculiar feeling that he had developed a new soul.

The new soul was connected to his true soul in a mysterious way, and from the moment it formed, it started to analyze all sorts of flame power incantations on its own.

What was even more incredible was that after the formation of this new soul, there didn’t seem to be any enlightenment regarding flame power incantations left in his true soul.

All of them were transferred into the new soul.

Besides that, the new soul was also connected to his vortex of flame power in his spiritual sea in a completely compatible way the moment it came to form.

It was as if from now on, this new soul would be in charge of everything regarding flame power, including the casting of all kinds of flame power magics.

This was such an incredible, indescribable feeling.
