789 Soul Rift! (1/2)
A refined body, strong aura, and intense soul fluctuations… No wonder Long Nanzi could cripple the Ink Dragon Legion. Although the way he did it was insane, he still had a sense of propriety and knew how to give and take. Furthermore, while his intellect is obviously extraordinary, he is also extremely gifted in artifact refinement… Raising his head to look at Wang Baole, a look of admiration appeared in Chief Minister Xu's eyes for the first time.
Although he hadn't interacted with Long Nanzi for long, he had seen many exemplary qualities in him in this short period of time. While this made him admire Wang Baole, he also felt that Ling You's ability to judge people wasn't bad.
It seems like something could happen between this disciple and Ling You. Thinking to this point, Chief Minister Xu sized up Wang Baole again. The more he looked, the more he felt that this thought of his seemed decent.
Afterward, seemingly thinking that the shrill cries of the mighty figures whose life essences were being drawn out were noisy, Chief Minister Xu raised his right hand and waved it down violently. Immediately, the crater rumbled, and the chains trapping the nine mighty figures immediately tightened. As they pulled strongly, they dragged the nine Spirit Immortals back into their caves!
Very quickly, as the sounds of the chains disappeared, the shrill cries gradually faded away as well. When the blood moon in the sky returned to normal, a bright glimmer appeared in the eyes of Wang Baole, who was standing in mid-air. Feeling his cultivation, Wang Baole was very excited.
This was the underlying reality of two civilizations at different levels. The Wang Baole in the Federation could only reach the perfected stage Nascent Soul realm no matter how hard he tried. But the Wang Baole in the Divine Eye civilization not only achieved a breakthrough in cultivation level, he even reached the late-stage Soul Conduit realm despite not having been in the Divine Eye civilization for long!
He was already close to the Spirit Immortal realm. An increase in cultivation of such a degree was felt more intensely in terms of combat strength. Although he had no opportunity to test it, compared to before, Wang Baole felt that if he met the False Immortal from the Ink Dragon Legion again, he could battle her using his own combat strength, not even needing to use his Divine Justice Shield!
As for who would win… anything was possible!
This was because Wang Baole's physical body was also different from before. At the same time, Wang Baole was very confident that, once he fused with his main body, then even if he was still at the late-stage Soul Conduit realm, it wouldn't be hard for him to kill a False Immortal!
”Thank you, Senior Xu!” Thinking to this point, Wang Baole took a deep breath and bowed deeply towards Chief Minister Xu with cupped fists. He was really grateful to Chief Minister Xu for not stopping him previously. If not, the benefits he gained there wouldn't possibly satisfy him like it did now.
”There's no need to thank me, you only need to thank that brat Ling You.” Chief Minister Xu smiled. Even though he tried his best to express goodwill, the eeriness deep in his bones still made his smile give off a sense of creepiness.
Seeing this smile, Wang Baole shuddered slightly and faintly felt something weird. So, after quickly cupping his fists again, he left the restricted area alongside Chief Minister Xu.
On the way back to where the Ice Phoenix Legion battleship was, Wang Baole noticed the way Chief Minister Xu looked at him. It always had a sense of profoundness he couldn't quite understand. That was especially so when he asked him about the past.
This caused Wang Baole to feel cautious. He secretly thought that Chief Minister Xu could have become suspicious of his identity… Bringing this cautiousness with him, Wang Baole only let out a sigh of relief after he reached the Ice Phoenix Legion battleship and Chief Minister Xu left. He lowered his head to look at a blue token in his hand.
This identity token was the army formation token that Chief Minister Xu gave him before he left. All he needed to do was infuse Spirit Qi into it and make an imprint. Then, he would be able to leave the seal of his army on the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect's internal array formation. At the same time, a base would be allocated to him based on this imprint.
This method was similar to the Federation's Spirit Internet. The difference was that the Federation's Spirit Internet had spread through the entire Federation and could be used by everyone. Here, however… it was an individual divided up by different factions.
After putting away the token in his hand, Wang Baole was in high spirits as he returned to the Ice Phoenix Legion's base, the battleship leaving the Sovereign Planet with a rumble.
This time, his identity had changed, and he was no longer a member of the Ice Phoenix Legion. Instead, he was now a vassal. At the same time, although his status was lower than that of Ling You, he was also an army commander.
So… as the battleship landed, the Ice Phoenix Legion prepared a welcoming ceremony that was rather formal. Not only did Fairy Ling You appear, but all of her perfected stage Soul Conduit subordinates were there as well.
This welcome was very ceremonious. Luckily, Wang Baole's experiences made him familiar with these kinds of occasions. Hence, he handled the occasion proficiently. While engaging in small talk with everyone, he also expressed his gratitude towards Fairy Ling You and his approval of their previous agreement.
Finally, under the invitation of Fairy Ling You, Wang Baole agreed to leave after he finished producing all of the Divine Justice Shields.
When the banquet ended, Wang Baole, who left alone, was sad to see that the female cultivators around him were still so reserved despite him being so outstanding. Although their eyes shone brightly, none of them tried to seduce him. This made Wang Baole sigh with emotion. When he returned to his lodging late at night, he could only sit there silently.
