Chapter 852 - Herding All Life (1/2)

To Wang Baole, this chance, from how much it could increase his cultivation alone, could be said to be unprecedented. Even though he had many opportunities previously, they mostly increased his potential and kept gathering. At this moment, all of his gathered opportunities exploded forth, and his cultivation started shooting up incredibly!

He could clearly feel that after he swallowed the old ghost, he seemed to have a vast ocean in his soul. And what he needed to do most was unleash that ocean and turn it into his cultivation!

At the same time, he could faintly feel that the ocean wasn't completely sealed within his soul like he previously thought. It seemed to be slowly dissipating away!

Such dissipation made Wang Baole's gaze flash. As a Dark Child, he could tell that such dissipation was definitely not a Dark Sect technique. That was because the Dark Sect herded souls and cared most about getting the purest soul back into the cycle of reincarnation. As for their cultivation and soul power, they would be returned back to the heavens and earth, causing it to become a cycle.

But the ocean within his soul now didn't dissipate back into the heavens and earth. Instead, it seemed to flow to a designated place. Wang Baole couldn't explain such a feeling clearly, but as a Dark Child, his gut told him that such a judgment shouldn't be wrong.

What the heck? Such a feeling shocked Wang Baole a bit. He couldn't help but think of the Never-Ending Clan, and another guess appeared in his mind.

Could it be… that the so-called method the Never-Ending Clan uses to break past life and death is only an illusion? The true core of their technique is to absorb the power of the entire Dao Domain slowly into their bodies? The Dark Sect herds souls of the dead, while the Never-Ending Clan herds all life?

He didn't know whether he was correct or not, but he was very clear that… he absolutely couldn't let the opportunity he had put in so much effort to obtain dissipate.

So, without hesitation, Wang Baole made his own soul the place where the ocean flowed into. He seemed to open the floodgates, causing the ocean in his soul to explode forth.

As it exploded forth, his body shook violently. He instantly felt the cultivation of his essence body explode forth from the previous False Immortal realm state. His soul shook, and his essence body swayed. It was like a shoot sprouting from the ground, and it kept pounding forth. As if it could crush mountains and empty the sea, he achieved a breakthrough immediately.

From the False Immortal state of a perfected stage Soul Conduit, his cultivation increased to… the early-stage Spirit Immortal realm!

Within that territory, unless those who had lower cultivations used special methods or Dharmic treasures, they would be suppressed immediately.

And this opportunity hadn't ended. When Wang Baole swallowed the old ghost, it didn't only include the old ghost. He also swallowed the Qi of millions of dead souls, as well as the twelve spiritual dragons that the twelve emperors turned into.

The ocean in his soul formed from all of that was extremely magnificent.

So, after he paused for a short while, he opened the floodgates again and allowed the ocean in his soul to gush forward once more.

His cultivation started shooting up incredibly again the moment he broke through the Soul Conduit realm and stepped into the Spirit Immortal realm. Rumbles reverberated on his body. As the firmament of the imperial cemetery rumbled, it formed a giant vortex. While it affected the whole world, Wang Baole's cultivation rose again!

From the early-stage Spirit Immortal realm, he reached the peak of the early-stage Spirit Immortal realm immediately and even hit the perfected early-stage Spirit Immortal realm. All of that seemed to be achieved effortlessly. It was as though no obstacles could obstruct the seawater that burst forth intensely, that they were so weak that they couldn't even take a hit. Any obstacles were smashed apart directly!

This caused his cultivation to skip the refinement and stabilization process that ordinary cultivators needed to do for dozens of years.

This feeling… This is the feeling I want! Wang Baole was extremely excited. After suppressing the ocean in his soul temporarily, he gritted his teeth and let it explode forth once more!

Instantly, the rise of his cultivation became even more violent. It seemed to gather all its power to charge forth violently as he broke through the early-stage Spirit Immortal realm and stepped into… the mid-stage Spirit Immortal realm!

The moment he became a mid-stage Spirit Immortal, Wang Baole's body shook violently, and a roar spread from his mouth. Rumbles and cracks sounded from his body, seemingly reverberating continuously from inside his body towards the outside. As the rumbles and cracks reverberated, the disturbances dispersed from his body exceeded the previous ones by more than ten times.

Such cracks left Wang Baole with no choice but to temporarily suppress the ocean within his soul, like closing the floodgates. At the same time, the vortex in the sky exploded forth more intensely, and the earth was trembling. A horrifying aura spread from his body!
