732 Long Nanzi! (2/2)

It was a black jellyfish. Wang Baole had owned one in the past. Sea Glutton, it had been called. He had handed it over to one of his Artifact Souls. His intention had been to destroy its original seal and use it to travel across space, but his battle with You Ran had forced him to use it for the repair of his Dark Sampan.

He recalled the Sea Glutton's original owners—the three extraterrestrial Nascent Soul realm cultivators who had infiltrated the Federation. As he recalled the series of criminal activities they had committed then, a strange look settled on his face. He fell into a contemplative silence. Finally, his eyes narrowed.

Were they from around here as well?

This should mean that I'm not far from the Solar System… right? Wang Baole's eyes widened. He was quite confident in his assessment. Unfortunately, the souls of the four dead were incomplete, so he couldn't get much information about his current whereabouts from them.

After a long moment of contemplation, Wang Baole decided to transform himself into one of the dead people. He'd infiltrate the Divine Eye civilization, find a star map of this region, and maybe search for other valuable information.

Too old. Not for me.

This one's a girl. Her looks aren't bad. But what a pity, she's not for me.

This one's too thin!

It seems like I'm left with no other choice but this guy. I suppose he'll have to do. After a round of inspection, Wang Baole finally settled on a middle-aged cultivator with relatively good looks.

He had been at the late-stage Core Formation realm prior to his death. Wang Baole found out from his soul's memories that his name was Long Nanzi. Long Nanzi was part of one of the many smaller sects called Holy Crest Sect, which was affiliated to the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect.

The Holy Crest Sect might be a small sect, but it was known for its skills at refining artifacts. That gained it some measure of influence in the civilization. There was an early-stage Soul Conduit realm elder in the sect as well. That gained the sect a seat at the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect's table. It maintained its own group of pirates and occasionally was given the opportunity to join the greater sect in raids.

The Holy Crest Sect seemed to be facing some sort of trouble currently. Many of its disciples were out, using their own means to secure resources for refining artifacts and for their own cultivation.

Having gotten the gist of the situation, Wang Baole raised his right hand and placed it on the corpse. His illusory form began to solidify. Within ten counts, he had transformed into the exact form of the dead cultivator on the ground!

His aura was identical to the dead cultivator's. Even Long Nanzi's closest friends wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

It was impossible to ensure his gestures, expressions, and habits were identical to the original Long Nanzi's. However, based on this man's memories, the hostile Divine Eye civilization ensured that no one truly trusted anyone. Everyone was always on constant alert. Naturally, no one truly knew one another.

Even though he isn't as good looking as I am, I suppose beggars can't be choosers. He'll have to do. Wang Baole touched his own face, sighed, then lifted his right hand and waved. Long Nanzi's corpse turned to dust instantly and dissipated in the wind.

Wang Baole observed his body. He could sense power in the air weighing down on him. His aura began to change. When the suppressive force in the air dissipated, the Spirit Qi in the air finally felt easier on his senses. He could absorb it now, without obstruction, and allow the Spirit Qi to flow smoothly into his body.

Next, let's go check out this Divine Eye civilization and see what special stuff it's got… Wang Baole's eyes flashed. He took a step forward and flew into the air. He kept his cultivation at the perfected Core Formation realm, then headed in the direction of the sect as Long Nanzi had remembered.

Wang Baole observed the alien land beneath his feet and the foreign skies above his head as he made his way through this world. Excitement began to unfurl inside him. He was an outsider in a foreign land and an alien civilization. He had nothing to lose here. He could do anything he wanted, and he looked forward to that!
