Chapter 789 - Soul Rift!
Chapter 789: Soul Rift!
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.
So be it. Even if they come to seduce me, I’ll definitely not agree! Wang Baole humphed. After he dispersed this thought from his mind, his eyes slowly narrowed.
Since my Divine Justice Shield has been taken away, I must create a better one as soon as possible. If not, when I meet with danger after leaving the Ice Phoenix Legion, it will be difficult to handle. Pondering, Wang Baole gathered his thoughts and reevaluated the method of improving the Divine Justice Shield he thought of.
The most important part within it was the special artifact refinement technique recorded within the Divine Armament recipe Little Wu gave him.
Breaking down and reassembling… In other words, a form of reconstruction after disassembly! Thinking, Wang Baole opened his storage bag and took out the materials Fairy Ling You gave him during the banquet. The amount of materials included reparations for his losses during the challenge match. Hence, the amount of materials met Wang Baole’s requirements, and he didn’t need to go look for more.
Just like that, time slowly passed, and a month elapsed. In this one month, although Wang Baole’s reputation increased within the Ice Phoenix Legion and the entire Divine Sovereign Justice Sect, and although many people knew he had the right to form an army, his life was barely affected.
As per usual, he rarely went out and was fully immersed in his reconstruction of the Divine Justice Shield. The results also satisfied him. Using the new method, Wang Baole finally refined the Divine Justice Shield up to the previous level 17. After that, he didn’t stop, and he refined the new Divine Justice Shield up to level 28!
At this level, the treasure’s effects had become pervertedly strong. At the same time, it also posed a huge threat to Spirit Immortals. Although it was hard for it to reflect 280%, it could still reflect 50% of the force of a Spirit Immortal’s attack.
As for its appearance, it completely changed as well. It no longer looked like a small shield. Instead, it became a large number of water droplets, forming a thin protective layer on his body.
Meanwhile, he had also finished producing the old version Divine Justice Shields he promised Fairy Ling You. Being able to leave any time after submitting his Divine Justice Shields, Wang Baole ended his Dharmic Artifact refinement and took out his army formation token as a glimmer flashed between his eyes.
Next, it’s time for me to form my army. What should I name it… Wang Baole was rather vexed. He had occasionally thought about it during this period of time. After all, although the strength of an army wasn’t really linked to its name, the name of an army was still very important. A good name could make an army seem more imposing to a certain degree.
For example, the best name would be the Baole Legion. It’s a name filled with majesty. Alas… Wang Baole sighed. It would be fine if Zhuo Yixian wasn’t there. No one would suspect anything with that name. But the situation now didn’t allow it.
President Force One? Wang Baole had a sudden inspiration, but very quickly, he thought that the name seemed inapt. After thinking, he sent a voice transmission to the donkey and Little Wu outside to let them help him think of a name.
The donkey’s reply was simple, considering it could only hee haw. But Little Wu was very enthusiastic. After thinking for a while, he gave his own suggestion.
“Daddy, how about Soul Rift?”
“Soul Rift Legion?” Wang Baole thought thoroughly.
“Yes, in the Black Earth Empire, there’s a really powerful army called Soul Rift. This name is really epic and suits you well.”
“Ordinary!” Wang Baole rolled his eyes. He felt that the name Soul Rift Legion was extremely ordinary and philistine. It could never compare to the name Baole Legion he came up with.
Finally, after thinking, Wang Baole realized that he had no other choice. So all he could do was sigh as he infused Spirit Qi into the army formation token in his hand, left his mark, and imprinted the name of his army.
Soul Rift!
