Dusk had arrived. A ray of sunset light shone on Ping Yang Town. Most of the shops and pedestrians on the streets were rushing home. This was located at the edge of Heavenly Fate City and not the bustling city center. Whenever night fell, the townspeople would have already finished work and gone home early.
On a quiet street in Ping Yang Town, a young man and a dog were running at high speed. The young man's chest was covered in scratch marks, and his tattered clothes were dripping with blood. Blood dripped onto the street from time to time, leaving behind bloody marks.
He was Chu Nan, who had just escaped Zheng Ying's pursuit.
"Soul Conduit, even if I rely on the Demon God's blood essence to temper my body and the Nine Yang Gourd's powerful recovery ability to barely surpass my level to deal with the low-rank Soul Warriors Zheng Tianhu and Zheng Tianbao, I'm still helpless against the mid-rank Soul Warrior Zheng Ying. After all, the difference in cultivation was too great. For example, when he met an expert like Zheng Ying, he could only run as far as he could. Soul Warriors and Soul Conduits were truly two completely different worlds.”
He came to the reeds in the swamp behind Ping Yang Town's martial arts field and sat cross-legged to circulate his Yuan Qi to recuperate. Ever since he obtained the Nine Suns Gourd, he would always feel extremely comfortable every time he came to the reeds. Even though the Nine Suns Gourd was nurtured by the blood essence of the demon god, it was still the same species as the reeds. Every time Chu Nan's divine sense entered his Life Soul, he would be able to sense the spiritual connection between his spirit soul and the reeds around him. He would then absorb the earth's energy through the reeds to nourish his Life Soul because everyone's Primordial Spirit and Life Soul were fused together. Hence, while the large patch of reeds nourished his life spirit, it also nourished his primordial spirit, causing Chu Nan to feel refreshed and refreshed.
Chu Nan had heard of this Zheng Yu before. He was a sanctimonious and vicious man. His father was the head of the Zheng family, one of the three great families in Heavenly Fate City, Zheng Tao. He was also appointed as the city lord of Bohai Prefecture. Zheng Yu's powerful background allowed him to be unrestrained in Heavenly Fate City. Later on, he relied on his own talent to become the only 5-fate talent in Heavenly Fate City in the past hundred years. He even gained the favor of the Vice Principal of the Tianyun Soul Academy, allowing Zheng Yu to run amuck in the Soul Academy like a fish in water.
"Yu Huanhuan has already told Zheng Yu about my identity. With Zheng Yu's vicious personality, he won't let this matter rest. Even if he won't do anything to me on the surface, he will still try to harm me in secret.”
Heavenly Fate City had the Zheng Clan, Chen Clan, and Hu Clan. There were countless small towns like Ping Yang Town that belonged to the three clans. Among the three clans, the Zheng Clan's Patriarch was the strongest. He was the only Spirit Ancestor expert in Heavenly Fate City's eastern district. Therefore, the higher-up princess of Bohai Prefecture appointed Zheng Tao, the head of the Zheng family, as the city lord. However, the three families still divided the land. The 36 small towns, including Ping Yang Town, were the territories of the Chen Family. They had to hand over a large amount of food and money as tribute to the Chen Family every year.
Therefore, even if the Zheng family, who was in charge of the City Lord's Estate, had monstrous power, they did not dare and were unwilling to make a big fuss on the Chen family's territory.
The current Chu Nan was not in a good situation. He seemed to be surrounded by enemies and was plagued by internal and external problems.
Outside, he had already offended Zheng Tao of the Zheng family. Within the Chu family, the line of the great elder, Chu Tianqi, was also eyeing his father's position as the family head. Ever since the great elder's son, Chu Nan's brother Chu Chen, awakened his three-fate talent, the great elder became even more unrestrained and did not put Chu Tianyang, the family head, in his eyes.
Compared to his father Chu Tianyang, the Great Elder had a closer relationship with the Chen Clan. The First Elder's wife, Chen Mei, was the niece of a clan elder of the Heavenly Fate City's Chen Clan. With this connection, not only did he reduce the tax burden on the Chu family, but he also found many cultivation manuals for Chu Chen.
Chu Chen was three years older than Chu Nan. The spirit soul he had awakened was the powerful Piebald Tiger. Tiger spirit souls were very powerful among beast spirit souls. Back in Ping Yang Town, he and Chu Nan had a dragon and a tiger spirit soul. They were known as the 'Young Heroes' of the Chu Clan in Ping Yang Town and were famous throughout Heavenly Fate City. In order to stabilize the relationship between the Great Elder and the Chen family, Chu Tianqi had tried every possible means to get Chu Chen engaged to a young lady of the Chen family. This had further improved the relationship between the Great Elder and the Chen family.
In this regard, Chu Tianyang's clan seemed to be in dire straits. Even though he had a powerful cultivation base of a Level Six Soul Master, which was a level higher than the First Elder who was a Level Five Soul Master, he did not have any powerful background. He was also straightforward and did not like to pull connections with his superiors. Thus, he had no advantage in front of the First Elder.
Thinking of this, Chu Nan suddenly felt a sense of crisis and urgency.
"There's Zheng Yu outside and the Grand Elder's faction inside. They'll probably make a move soon and try to harm me. The more strength he had, the more chances he had to save his life. Raising his own strength was the king's way.”
The most important thing now was to increase his cultivation and advance to a Soul Warrior.
As the son of the clan head, he had the opportunity to flip through the clan's library pavilion's various origin method martial arts techniques and secret manuals to understand some basic knowledge of the soul master system's cultivation.
Now, he had already unlocked three lifeblood and possessed a three-life talent. Now that his Primordial Spirit had fused with the spirit soul, he could control the spirit soul at will. Now, he only needed to rely on the power of the spirit soul and his lifeblood as the foundation to form a Fate Wheel to become a Soul Master. Only then would he be able to condense his vital qi into elemental energy and temper his body with elemental energy, allowing his elemental arts and martial techniques to unleash greater power.
In the cultivation system of the Heavenly Soul Continent, Soul Masters were those above Soul Conduit. Soul Masters were a general term and honorific for cultivators. The various realms of Soul Masters were divided into several major ranks from low to high, namely Soul Scholar, Soul Master, Soul Grandmaster, Soul Ancestor, Soul Elder, Soul King, and Soul Emperor. Each major rank was further divided into several minor ranks.
According to the clan's books on the common knowledge of soul masters 'cultivation, he knew that there were six major realms from soul warrior to soul king, and each realm was divided into nine stages. As for the detailed division of Soul Emperors, there was no record in the book.
To be able to reach the Soul Emperor level, one could become an expert occupying a region even in the entire Heavenly Soul Continent. According to rumors, in the Great Qing Empire where he was from, the only person who could reach the Soul Emperor level was the founding emperor.
As for whether there was a realm above the Soul Emperor realm, or if there were people above the Soul Emperor realm, Chu Nan was not sure. The books in his clan did not record it either.
In Chu Nan's opinion, these were too far away from him.
There were nine vital vessels in the human body. The more vital vessels one awakened, the more talented one would be in cultivation and the higher the success rate of forming a Fate Wheel.
Chu Nan sat down cross-legged and focused his mind. His divine sense entered the Nine Suns Gourd in his dantian. Through his spirit soul, he could feel that the Yuan Qi in his sea of vital energy had reached its limit and could no longer be increased. However, the Nine Suns Gourd continued to absorb Yuan Qi. When his sea of vital energy reached its limit, it would turn into black demonic Qi and enter the Devil's Pool. The black demonic Qi above the demonic pool and the white Yuan Qi in the Qi Sea were clearly separated and complemented each other.
My spirit soul, the Nine Suns Gourd, has an advantage that other spirit souls can't compare to. It can evolve. Chu Nan looked into his dantian and observed the Nine Suns Gourd in his dantian life spirit with his divine sense. He thought,'An ordinary person can only be bestowed with the light of destiny once in their lifetime. It's called the Innate Awakening Lifeline. Of course, in the future, one could also awaken one's lifeblood through the Life Awakening Pill. However, this kind of lifeblood awakening after birth would have very limited achievements. It was completely different from awakening one's lifeblood after birth.
Through the Life Initiation Ritual, the lifeblood of the body would absorb the light of destiny to complete the activation of the lifeblood. The number of lifeblood activated would determine the talent. The number of vital vessels that could be opened was determined by the ability to fuse with the Light of Heavenly Mandate. To put it bluntly, it was the compatibility between the nine Fate Wheels and the Light of Heavenly Mandate that determined a warrior's talent. "After my Nine Suns Gourd has completed its evolution, it can plunder the power of heaven's will from the heavens and activate the lifeblood in my body. This heaven-defying ability had a very strong growth potential.
Everything in the world continued to multiply and develop under the operation of the Heavenly Dao. Only by following the Heavenly Dao could one survive. Those who went against the Heavenly Dao would not be tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. "Stealing the light of destiny is an act that defies the heavens and violates the heavenly dao. Therefore, it's understandable that I encountered lightning punishment on the day of the life revelation ceremony.
"Forget it, let's not think so much. These are too far away from me. Let's increase our strength first.”
