"Darling, please turn around."
In the practice room, Su Jie softly called out.
The white brilliant light from the Sword Nourishing Gourd at his waist flew out and effortlessly pierced through seven or eight giant rocks.
With the enhancement from the Sword Nourishing Gourd, the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword’s speed had increased drastically, almost reaching the power of a Mid-grade Flying Sword.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
More Flying Swords emerged from the Sword Nourishing Gourd, following behind the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword like a little tail, or a flock of birds flying together.
With the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword as the core, the practice room was filled with sword shadows howling, the wind caused by breaking the sound barrier swept around fiercely, the intense aura daring anyone to make a careless move, as if any movement would result in being sliced into scattered pieces.
"The Sword Nourishing Gourd is indeed a Mid-grade Magical Artifact, truly remarkable."
Su Jie murmured to himself, having spent two days refining the Sword Nourishing Gourd to completion, and indeed, the power had not disappointed him.
Touching the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword that flew up to him, its sharpness caused a tingling pain in his palm.
Compared to before, a faint layer of spiritual energy arc-light, which only appears on Mid-grade Flying Swords, could be seen on the surface of the blade.
This Sword Qi not only allowed the Flying Sword to penetrate anything but also continuously absorbed the external Spiritual Energy.
In the past, the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword required Su Jie’s command, but with the Sword Qi, the Flying Sword could autonomously absorb stray Spiritual Energy and engage in self-directed combat within a certain range.
This was like the difference between a bullet and a missile; the bullet needs one to aim manually, whereas once released, a missile can turn and track the enemy on its own.
He spent several hours in the practice room, testing and familiarizing himself with all the features of the Sword Nourishing Gourd.
Later, Su Jie sat cross-legged on the ground, cultivating the Enlightenment Returning Ruins Skill.
Through his breaths, his Spirit Body’s soul floated above his head and under the effect of the Enlightenment Returning Ruins Skill, it passed through the walls of the practice room to the clear night outside.
A bright moon hung high in the sky, with silence engulfing the wilds.
Su Jie’s soul soared freely in the sky, using this as a way to strengthen the soul, bathed in the external Spiritual Energy.
This method of cultivation was the best Su Jie had discovered; the daylight was too harsh for the delicate soul, but during the night, the disembodied soul was more suited to Su Jie’s current cultivation state.
The drifting soul rippled unpredictably, each gust of wind carrying snowflakes caused Su Jie’s soul to shudder incessantly.
"The origin calls for essence, and the clash of essences is deemed divine."
Reciting the spell, Su Jie’s soul landed in front of a large tree.
On the soul shaped like a light ball, Su Jie struggled to form his facial features and limbs.
This state of the soul, known as Fetal Light, signifies the nascent light, representing the weakness of the soul, akin to an embryo in the womb, not even an infant yet.
Only when the soul was cultivated into a human form, featuring limbs and facial features, could Su Jie’s soul be considered truly advanced.
This process is similar to the development of the human body, which also starts from an embryo and slowly develops into a human form.
Once achieving that, the soul could be termed Primordial Spirit.
The physical body undergoes various transformations, while the true essence of the Primordial Spirit remains forever.
The capabilities of the Primordial Spirit allow it to withstand eternal tribulations, extend lifespan, unaffected by intense brilliance or thunder, possess divine insight, fundamentally supporting perpetual life and long-term vision.
After achieving the Primordial Spirit, one gains various miraculous abilities, such as Divine Sense.
Last time, Tang Peiqing’s voice appeared in his mind from a great distance, that was Divine Sense transmitting voices, a derivative application of the Primordial Spirit.
It’s extremely difficult, even for the powerful ones in the Secret Realm, to cultivate a Primordial Spirit.
It can be said that not every Elder of the Secret Realm possesses a Primordial Spirit.
But those who have a Primordial Spirit are undoubtedly the powerhouses of the Secret Realm, without a doubt.
Su Jie had struggled for a long time before a faint arc that resembled a mouth finally appeared on the Soul Light Ball.
As the mouth opened and closed, a few leaves rustled slightly.
Su Jie drifted back and forth, attempting to attack, but the ancient tree stood unmoving.
If he had been in his physical body, Su Jie could have shattered the ancient tree with one hand, but in his soul form, he couldn’t even dislodge a single leaf.
Looking at his own soul, flickering unsteadily as if it could be dispersed by a mere gust of wind, he realized he still had a long way to go.
After a session of cultivation, when his soul felt weak and exhausted, Su Jie decided not to linger outside any longer, lest he damage his Divine Soul.
However, just as Su Jie was about to return his soul to his body, he suddenly saw something through the perspective of his soul.
Outside his residence, a sneaky figure was crouching in the bushes, throwing a small jade bottle.
The Jade Bottle wobbled and floated in mid-air, flying toward the direction of the residence.
Su Jie took a closer look and through the neck of the Jade Bottle, saw a blue powder inside.
"Hmm, Blue Dawn Itch Flower Pollen?"
Even in his soul state, Su Jie recognized the origin of the powder in the bottle.
This powder was produced by a Spirit Plant and once it landed on human skin, it would cause unbearable itching. Although it wasn’t a harmful poison, the itch could last for days, making even Cultivators suffer greatly.
The Jade Bottle continued its erratic flight around the residence, seemingly searching for something.
Until it floated to the door of the Practice Room, the bottle finally stopped and seemed eager to enter.
But as a private area, the Practice Room was under Su Jie’s protection, enforced with an array. Experience more content on empire
Looking at the figure crouching in the bushes, Su Jie recognized the person.
"Isn’t that the genius newcomer who just joined?"
Su Jie was taken aback, the person sneaking in the bushes was a young girl, and a recent joiner, Zhu Qingya.
"Where did she get the cultivation spiritual power? No, she’s not just a newcomer. Could she be a spy from a Righteous sect, but why would she target me..."
Su Jie’s brow furrowed deeply as he watched her every move.
Seemingly aware of the array’s presence, Zhu Qingya pulled out a small silver arrow.
This was a Demolishing Demon Arrow, capable of silently penetrating and breaking through arrays, something Su Jie had only heard of and never seen sold on the Black Market.
Zhu Qingya blew on the Demolishing Demon Arrow, releasing Frost Cold Spirit Energy, and like tossing a paper airplane, she flung it toward the Su Mansion.
The Demolishing Demon Arrow soared smoothly, slowly approaching the Practice Room.
The maids and servants inside the Su Mansion were all ordinary people who couldn’t detect the arrival of the Demolishing Demon Arrow.
At that moment, Su Jie saw that gust of Frost Cold Spirit Energy, and a flash of enlightenment suddenly revealed a girl’s figure in his mind.
Su Jie’s expression darkened.
Damn, how vindictive is this girl to chase down the culprit to Ghost Ridge Palace? Is she crazy?
Without hesitation, Su Jie’s soul quickly returned to the Practice Room, then his soul reentered his body, and sitting cross-legged on the cushion, he opened his eyes.
Standing up from the cushion, Su Jie pushed open the large doors of the Practice Room.
Just then, the Demolishing Demon Arrow also arrived in front of the Practice Room door.
Su Jie spread his hand wide and firmly caught the Demolishing Demon Arrow.
The figure crouching in the bushes, Zhu Qingya, was dumbfounded; this was not what she had anticipated!
