Chapter 471: Farewell to the Demon Saint
Xiao Ze wasn't overly concerned with the combat power enhancement brought by his soul realm reaching the Grand Perfection of the Heavenly Realm. After all, his combat strength was already astonishing. A soul at the Grand Perfection level could act as a perfectly synchronized battle partner, amplifying power. However, Xiao Ze already possessed related techniques, such as the Thunder Body and the Origin Tree Roots. Although these didn't match the synchronicity of a Grand Perfection soul body, their sheer quantity overwhelmed quality. If Xiao Ze desired, he could control dozens of Thunder Bodies, outmatching the quality with quantity. With Xiao Ze's current strength, a single Grand Perfection soul body would be defeated by numerous Origin Tree Root-empowered Thunder Bodies. Thus, this enhancement was merely an addition, not a fundamental change. A significant leap would only come with achieving an emperor-level soul, which could significantly impact high-star Dou Saints.
This breakthrough to the Grand Perfection made Xiao Ze deeply aware of the difficulty in enhancing his soul. The soul essence cluster granted by the emperor-level soul of the Yellow Springs Demon Saint was no less potent than the one formed by millions in the Soul Hall. Although it successfully brought Xiao Ze to the Grand Perfection, the emperor-level soul remained a distant goal. Given his current soul cultivation speed, achieving an emperor-level soul through training alone might take decades or even centuries. While other strong beings might rejoice at the prospect of reaching an emperor-level soul in a century, Xiao Ze felt the pace was slow. He considered both external opportunities and self-improvement. Xiao Ze's current cultivation technique, the Xuanqing Soul Method, was a top-notch ancient alchemy soul training method. Finding a more powerful soul cultivation technique in the short term was challenging. Thus, he considered using an auxiliary binding slot for a soul-related talent.
The "Innate Soul Body" of Cao Ying was an option, but Xiao Ze hesitated. Whether this inherently powerful soul talent could further enhance and provide feedback remained uncertain. Aside from continuously seeking auxiliary binding candidates, he also couldn't miss out on opportunities. Known soul-enhancing opportunities like the Soul Hall's Human Hall and the Heavenly Tomb's souls were currently out of reach. However, unexpected opportunities, like the recent one that brought him to the Grand Perfection, were not to be missed. Encounters with Dou Saint-level opportunities in the future would be crucial.
These thoughts flashed through Xiao Ze's mind in an instant. With his Grand Perfection soul power, he could easily process countless thoughts simultaneously. He slowly opened his eyes, retracting his immense soul power back into his body. He looked at the Yellow Springs Demon Saint. "Thank you, Senior Demon Saint, for protecting me. I have successfully reached the Grand Perfection of the Heavenly Realm."
"Haha, well done. Although the soul essence cluster I provided was significant, your existing soul power, already touching the Grand Perfection, was crucial," the Demon Saint said with satisfaction.
"It's time to say goodbye," the Demon Saint flicked his finger, sending a soul wave towards Xiao Ze. "This is what you came for—Yellow Springs Heaven's Wrath."
Without hesitation, Xiao Ze reached out, and a vast amount of information flooded his mind, transforming into various cultivation techniques. Satisfied, Xiao Ze found that the Demon Saint had also included Yellow Springs Finger and Yellow Springs Palm techniques, enriching his combat methods.
"Thank you, Senior Demon Saint, for imparting your techniques!" Xiao Ze quickly absorbed the information, opened his eyes, and bowed to the Demon Saint.
"Your talent and abilities are worth passing on these techniques. Yellow Springs techniques are not for the mediocre, lest they tarnish my name," the Demon Saint said with pride. Smiling, he opened his right hand, and his already faint form began to release strands of pale golden fluid, converging into a golden liquid in his palm.
Seeing this golden liquid, Xiao Ze's eyes narrowed. As the essence blood of a near-emperor level being, the energy it contained was immense, enough to make Xiao Ze's heart race.
The Demon Saint handed the golden liquid to Xiao Ze, his body becoming almost transparent. "Haha, I thought my remnant soul would only find a suitable inheritor for my techniques, fulfilling its purpose. I didn't expect to resolve a major regret through you, Xiao Ze. Now, it's time for a final farewell."
With these words, the Demon Saint's form disappeared completely, leaving only his hearty laughter echoing in the space. As he vanished, the grand throne shattered, and the entire world began to collapse. Xiao Ze carefully stored the golden liquid. The Demon Saint's remnant soul had survived through this essence blood, and now, it had finally faded away.
Standing still, Xiao Ze waited for the world to completely dissipate. Once it did, he sighed deeply and bowed once more to where the Demon Saint had vanished. His soul then turned into a stream of light, disappearing from the void space.
In a flash, Xiao Ze's soul emerged from the Yellow Springs Stele and returned to his body. He slowly opened his eyes, noticing that Yao Ming was no longer there. Smiling, he turned to Xiao Yixian and the others. "Yao Ming must have left something to contact him. Tell him that Yellow Springs Heaven's Wrath is ready for cultivation."
