Chapter 88

"Is this the sublimation of the primordial soul?"

Chuxue straightened her back, her heart surging with emotion. She had lived for thirteen years and practiced spiritual techniques for seven. This was the first time she had seen such a scene.

Legend has it that when a spirit master achieves enlightenment or when their soul is clear and bright, at the moment their soul penetrates the heavens and earth, they often unleash their potential, greatly increasing their soul power and elevating their realm. This situation is extremely common among spirit masters with higher talent.

Therefore, in the cultivation of spirit masters, besides daily practice and accumulation, the characters 'enlightenment' and 'spirit' are also highly valued.

At this moment, Zongshou not only had a powerful surge of soul energy, but also a mysterious pressure that spread out with his long howl, enveloping an area of several hundred feet.

It seemed as if in an instant, his soul realm had crossed an entire level!

After a full dozen breaths, Zongshou's howl gradually subsided, and the emotions in his chest were slightly relieved.

"Is this the realm of Night Roaming?"

Hesitantly, she raised her hand, and in the next moment, she saw a cluster of spiritual energy gather in her palm.

First, countless fire energies converged into a flame. Then, after it dissipated, it turned into water energy, a small ball of water floating three feet above her palm.

Without any use of Daoist talismans or spirit tools, it naturally appeared.

Clearly, this was the realm of Night Roaming, where one can control the soul energy of heaven and earth with just the primordial soul!

"Tsk, I didn't expect that after my reincarnation as Sword Emperor Tan Qiu, my greatest achievement would not be in martial arts but in the primordial soul, which first reached the Night Roaming level—"

Shaking his head slightly, Zongshou felt speechless.

A Night Roaming spirit master can already rival a先天武师 (innate martial master). For anyone, this would be a cause for excitement and joy. But for him, he truly couldn't feel happy.

"Not only has my soul power surged, but even the injuries in my soul sea seem to have healed. Well! With the cultivation of the Night Roaming realm, I can at least have some self-protection. Better than being killed at will in the future—"

Thinking about this, Zongshou felt a bit amused, realizing he was being a bit too sensitive.

Today's sublimation of the primordial soul is not just a joy for him but also a turning point.

The pressure that had accumulated in his chest for a long time has finally been relieved. At least now, he is not completely defenseless.

After today, no matter who wants to take action against him, they will have to face a life-or-death struggle. In his previous life, he only practiced martial arts, but controlling the sword with his soul seems to be quite proficient.

The water in his hand also dissipated, transforming into pure spiritual energy and disappearing into the air.

Then a thread of lightning appeared in his hand. As the lightning flashed, something inside his body seemed to respond, causing the thread of lightning to instantly expand into a purple lightning bolt, wrapping around his arm and crackling.

"Indeed, my control over lightning far exceeds my control over other types of spiritual energy. Is it because of the sealed purple lightning, or the mental core and origin imprint absorbed from the thunder phoenix egg?"

He remembered that the phoenix pill made by the sect in his memory did not have this effect. There were only a few spirit masters in the sect who were skilled in lightning techniques.

He also had a vague feeling that using the method of absorbing the essence of the egg with the吞天元化 (Heaven-Swallowing Primordial Transformation) was probably a more suitable way to extract the essence of the thunder phoenix egg than refining a pill.

However, the specifics still needed to be verified.

Slightly distracted, Zongshou then smiled bitterly.

He almost forgot the main matter. Could it be that after this matter is resolved, the obsession of 'Zongshou' will finally disappear?

A faint sadness rose in his heart again, just as he was about to look at Gong Xinran, Zongshou suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmm? This scythe-tailed lion—"

He saw that the giant lion, which he had forcibly tamed and brought them here, now had spiritual energy so dense that it was almost tangible. Its aura was strong enough to rival his own.

"A fourth-stage Shadow Lion? This fellow has good fortune. Oh, and there's Little Jin—"

The scythe-tailed lion's bloodline mutation and breakthrough to the fourth stage were likely due to the insights gained from his battle with the innate martial master.

At this moment, its agile figure seemed to blend into the moonlit night.

However, Zongshou didn't bother to pay attention. He finally remembered that his first guardian spirit beast, Little Jin, was also at a critical stage.

Turning his head, Zongshou looked at his shoulder. The fragments of the thunder phoenix egg had completely disappeared, and Little Jin looked as if it had eaten its fill, lying weakly on his shoulder.

Its body was still silver-white, but it now had patterns resembling lightning on its surface. The spiritual energy in its body had increased by about seven times. It felt a bit heavier on his shoulder, and its metallic texture was more pronounced. This was probably due to the various metals he fed it daily.

Clearly, it had already entered the third stage, but the energy contained within the thunder phoenix egg was too vast, and Little Jin still couldn't fully digest it.

"These patterns, are they lightning patterns?"

Zongshou was slightly taken aback. Little Jin's evolution this time was slightly different from what he knew from his previous life.

However, he didn't necessarily have to make this little guy follow the path chosen by the person in his previous life.

Moreover, from the current situation, it wasn't a bad thing but rather very beneficial for it.

With a slight thought, Little Jin's body suddenly flickered with threads of lightning. The color was lighter, but the mental connection between them was significantly enhanced.

Zongshou smiled, thinking that this little guy must have gained some new ability. With another snap of his fingers, Little Jin's body 'melted' again, rewrapping around his arm.

At this moment, the aura of the Shadow Lion also stabilized. It showed no intention of revenge but slowly approached, lying down fifty feet in front of him.

Its eyes were full of submission.

Zongshou was surprised but didn't think much about it. Instead, he looked into the distance, where the two secret martial masters were fleeing. One was still entangled with the Cold Hell Tiger, while the other was almost out of sight.

Previously, he was helpless against them, but now, he only needed a thought to kill them.

However, Zongshou didn't act, his eyes flashing with purple lightning, revealing a fierce light: "Xue'er, I'll leave those two to you. No matter what means you use, you must kill these two before you return—"

Since he had cultivated the spirit master's mental techniques, he needed a guardian and a protector.

He didn't want his physical body to be destroyed while his primordial soul was out of his body, engaging in battle.

That Qi Xiao, though not yet at the Night Roaming realm, was a good example.

At this moment, only Chuxue and Yin Yang were trustworthy enough to protect his physical body.

However, this Xue'er still needed to be refined.

Chuxue responded with an "Eh," slightly surprised, but immediately leaped forward, her figure as agile as a cat, chasing after the one who was almost out of sight, without any hesitation.

At this moment, Zongshou looked at the patch of weeds in front of him. A small porcelain bottle seemed to have fallen from Gao Yi's sleeve, still stained with blood.

"What is this? It seems to be a medicinal pill?"

With a thought, a gust of wind swept the porcelain bottle into his hand. Then, Zongshou's expression suddenly became extremely vivid.
