The Peerless Tang Sect’s Sun and Moon Glory - Chapter 311 One-month voyage
Facing Tianmeng Bingcan’s resentful yet expectant gaze, Xu Zihuang laughed.
“Okay, Tianmeng. As long as you are willing, when my soul power breaks through to level 70, you can also choose to become my soul.”
“Of course I am willing!” Tianmeng Bingcan’s eyes lit up and she squirmed her plump body excitedly.
“Although I am not good at fighting, I am an unprecedented million-year-old soul beast. I have a hunch that once the contract is completed, I will definitely be able to help you.”
Xu Zihuang nodded in disbelief.
“Let’s talk about it then. With my current cultivation speed, I should be able to reach the seventy-level bottleneck in about a year.”
This is the benefit brought by condensing the soul core. His current cultivation speed is even faster than when he was at the Soul King level.
“Zihuang, it’s settled then.” Tianmeng Bingshen responded with a smile. Afterwards, he chatted with Xu Zihuang in high spirits for a while, and then fell asleep happily again.
Tianmeng Iceworm’s huge body submerged into Xu Zihuang’s spiritual sea again, and became silent.
The part of Xu Zihuang’s consciousness that was immersed in the sea of spirit also returned to its original form and opened his eyes.
It was already late at night, and the originally calm sea area was gradually becoming more stormy, and the weather was about to change. The strong sea wind pressed the sail into an astonishing arc, almost touching his back.
But it happened to be north wind now, so there was no need for him to change the angle of the sail.
“Puff, puff, puff -” the waves undulated, making a deafening impact. However, Xu Zihuang remained motionless, turned on the special level six soul shield that came with the Demon Whale, and entered the cultivation state with his legs crossed.
This special sixth-level soul shield blocks not only sight, but also sound.
Xu Zihuang’s state was almost the same as before. While meditating and practicing, he flew out part of his mind and released his mental power to alert the surroundings.
The night passed quickly.
I don’t know if it was because of the wind and waves last night, but in the early morning, there was a thick layer of mist on the sea. The Magic Whale still sails along the mainland from north to south according to the established route.
Xu Zihuang stood up suddenly without warning and stopped releasing the soul shield. The light was distorted, and the Magic Whale suddenly appeared on the empty sea.
The moment the Magic Whale revealed its figure, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the sea surface, seeming to swallow the Magic Whale.
Immediately afterwards, a ten-meter-long tentacle emerged from the center of the whirlpool and struck hard at the Magic Whale. The blood-red tentacles were densely covered with suction cups, which made people shudder.
Xu Zihuang came to the front of the Magic Whale and drove the Magic Whale to avoid the attack of this tentacle and get rid of the pull of this vortex.
“Bang -” The thick and powerful tentacles slapped the sea surface, making a terrifying explosion sound. The seawater splashed dozens of meters high.
In the area where the whirlpool is located, a giant red octopus with a main body diameter of three meters and eight tentacles emerged from the sea. The small scarlet eyes flashed fiercely, and eight tentacles waved in the sea water, approaching Xu Zihuang at great speed. Judging from the aura, even if it does not have a cultivation level of ten thousand years, it is at least a soul beast with a cultivation level of more than eight thousand years.
This is the sea soul beast with the highest cultivation level that Xu Zihuang has encountered in the offshore waters in the past three days.
The giant octopus suddenly let out a scream from its mouth, and eight tentacles immediately rose into the sky, and the densely packed suckers on the tentacles sprayed countless water arrows.
Xu Zihuang’s deep purple eyes instantly turned into brilliant gold. Through the innate ability of the Golden Eyes Martial Spirit, he could clearly see that each of the water arrows was about one meter in length and in the shape of a jujube core. The thickest part in the center was about the thickness of an adult’s arm. The rapid speed seems to pierce the sky. There is no need to doubt that each of these high-pressure water arrows will probably leave traces on the fine iron.
Facing such an offensive, Xu Zihuang seemed not to be afraid.
The octopus soul beast in front of him, which had a cultivation level of nearly ten thousand years, could just be used to test another one of his methods.
Strange dark red ripples condensed in the palm of his left hand, forming a small crystal ball out of thin air. Different from the dark red crystal he usually condensed using his second soul skill Mirror of Destruction, the color of this crystal ball is particularly deep, like a ruby.
There are also fine lines engraved on the surface of the ball, which are impressively the core formations.
Xu Zihuang threw the ball up and quickly built a dark red crystal shield with it as the core.
Without the need for him to inject soul power, the crystal ball as the core of the magic circle burst into dazzling light, spreading to the entire shield in an instant. A layer of transparent dark red halo expanded from the surface of the shield, turning into a huge light shield that enveloped him and the Demonic Whale.
The essence of Xu Zihuang’s second soul skill, Mirror Destruction, is to transform the tangible and insubstantial soul power into a tangible and substantive dark red crystal.
But one thing that may have been overlooked is that this process is actually reversible. In other words, as long as he is willing, the crystal ball condensed with compressed soul power can be transformed into the purest soul power at any time, which can be used to drive the core magic circle engraved on it.
At the same time, the dark red crystal itself is condensed with soul power, and the effect of transmitting soul power is better than any rare metal that exists in the world. It is tough enough and has high temperature resistance.
It is an excellent material for making soul guides.
Everything happening before our eyes is based on this principle.
In short, Xu Zihuang used his second soul skill to temporarily create a shield-type defensive soul tool that could be used without additional soul power.
He actually had this idea very early on. It was only recently that his mental power had broken through to a tangible and qualitative level, and the life span of his second soul ring had also been increased to 40,000 years. He was able to complete it with his exquisite control ability.
This is also the first time he has used it in actual combat.
While condensing the crystal ball, several core magic circles are imprinted on it. To complete it in such a short period of time is quite difficult even for him now.
So what Xu Zihuang made temporarily was just a level four defense soul tool. He can also create more complex core arrays and more powerful soul guides, but it will take a certain amount of time.
The high-pressure water arrows hit the dark red light shield, creating bursts of light and temporarily blocking the attack of the octopus soul beast.
Xu Zihuang then threw another small crystal ball, and following the same pattern, a dark red crystal spear that could be called a fourth-level soul guide took shape and was thrown out by him.
The internal spherical core array glowed, and the red light was transmitted to the entire spear.
The spear experienced another acceleration in the air, and an extremely sharp aura spilled out, turning into an afterimage that penetrated the head of the octopus soul beast in the next moment.
Because of the special structure in its body, this giant octopus did not die immediately, and its eight tentacles were swinging wildly.
However, not long after, the eight tentacles lost their vitality one after another and fell feebly on the sea.
A circle of purple and black soul rings slowly condensed over his body.
The golden sun rises from the east, and the morning fog on the sea gradually dissipates.
Xu Zihuang calmly withdrew his gaze, bathed in the morning sun, and left the sea area on the Magic Whale. The two improvised soul tools he had made suddenly shattered, and the crystal fragments fell like fine snow. Under the scattering of the morning sun, there is a brilliant and dazzling halo.
Speaking of which, he was inspired by Xiao Hongchen. Xiao Hongchen can control metal, and he can also control his soul power to condense into dark red crystal.
He was even better than Xiao Hongchen.
After all, he is too unique at both the soul master level and the soul master level.
Xu Zihuang sailed along the mainland in the offshore area, and the sailing distance was greatly shortened compared to the original plan. In just one month, he arrived at the southern sea area where the Star Luo Empire and the Sun and Moon Empire met.
Although he has not gone deep into the sea in the past month, he has encountered many powerful sea soul beasts. Through such intensive practical experience, his control over every aspect of his abilities has subtly reached an almost perfect level.
He has mastered all the soul skills and fully accomplished the purpose of this sea trip.
