628 Zhou Mei! (1/2)
The Lightning Immortal Soul, Five Elemental Soul, Heavenly Dream Soul, Nine Earthly Soul… Wang Baole's head began to throb. His head was filled with the dozen types of Nascent Souls Little Missy had told him. He had also found the way to breakthrough in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace's records. He frowned slightly.
There were simply too many varieties of Nascent Souls. The Nascent Soul realm was a vast gulf that separated the levels of cultivation. Transforming one's core into a soul was akin to forming a second life, and this would dramatically transform a cultivator's life.
Teleportation was one of those changes that the cultivator would experience. The formation of a Nascent Soul made one into a child of the heavens and earth, and the cultivator would be able to meld with the nomological laws and wield them.
A Nascent Soul also had the power to control the lands. Some primitive civilizations called Nascent Souls ancient demons. That itself proved how powerful a Nascent Soul realm cultivator was.
A Nascent Soul's power was related to the type of soul. There were countless cultivation civilizations in the universe and as many different types of Nascent Souls. Li Xingwen's was a Dao Soul, and his enlightenment-based divine power contributed partially to that. Duan Muque chose to cultivate a Five Elemental Soul, and its essence was irrevocably tied to the Federation's fortunes. This might seem bizarre and mysterious, but what it essentially meant was that his Nascent Soul was the manifestation of his ideals and will.
Wang Baole had asked Sect Lord Xu about his Nascent Soul, and he had chosen the Violent Soul, one that centered on violence and death. The Nascent Souls that everyone in the Federation and Dao Palace had were nearly all different.
There might be similarities amongst their Nascent Souls, but minute differences did exist. It was impossible to say which type of Nascent Soul was better, as there was only one way to determine the potential of a Nascent Soul, and that was… its quality!
That was what determined the extent to which one's Nascent Soul could meld with the nomological laws, and that would determine one's battle prowess and future. The Dao Palace records also mentioned something else, which was the extremely rare Five Type Nascent Soul that had been found scattered across countless civilizations. They were considered legends. The Vast Expanse Dao Palace of the past had the opportunity to cultivate one such Nascent Soul, but the ways of its cultivation had been lost. The current Vast Expanse Dao Palace no longer held the secrets to the formation of such a Nascent Soul.
Wang Baole had asked Little Missy about that, but Little Missy only replied and told him not to be overly ambitious and long for something that was beyond his reach. Wang Baole had his own unique understanding of what Little Missy had told him.
I bet it's most likely because she doesn't know much about it. Or maybe she's afraid to tell me? Wang Baole blinked. He had realized some time ago that every time Little Missy had given him a target that seemed unachievable, he would somehow achieve it without much of a problem…
”Little Missy, that legendary Nascent Soul that can't be achieved—what exactly is it?” Wang Baole couldn't help being tempted when he thought about it, so he tried asking again.
”…” Little Missy seemed to be thinking the same thing as well and didn't answer Wang Baole's question immediately. She hadn't heard of many successful accounts of people attaining the legendary Five Type Nascent Soul. It wasn't merely legendary and seemed almost impossible!
She still seemed a bit uneasy. She seemed to have mentioned that it was impossible. It should be fine, just saying that…
”If he manages to make the impossible possible again, I'll call him granddaddy!” Little Missy snorted secretly. She continued consoling herself before she was suddenly caught by the urge to slap herself. It might not have been as bad if she hadn't just said that, but now that she had…
Exhaustion suddenly overcame Little Missy at that thought. She decided not to think about it anymore.
Time passed steadily, and another month went by. While Wang Baole continued his cultivation and his study of Nascent Souls, the giant tree did his best to complete the assignment that Wang Baole had given him. He did quite a good job. He identified all the female disciples he could find and then began creating numerous opportunities for Li Wuchen and these female disciples to fall in love.
The giant tree didn't realize how talented he was in this area. The heavens rewarded those who toiled diligently. Under his watchful eyes and careful planning, the giant tree finally discovered something!
He verified his observations repeatedly and then rushed over to Wang Baole's and reported his findings.
