Li Tianming discovered that the clans of the Aether Abyss generally possessed higher-level souls, which was related to soulstones and aether sourcepower.
Take Qi Huan, for example. He was at the fifth Cosmic Chart, inferior to Gongyang Yan.
Yet his soul abilities were roughly on par with Gongyang Yan's!
Take Beibei. She was only at the fifth star level of the Order realm, lower in cultivation than Li Tianming, yet the strength of her soul was already close to a sixth-realm cosmic soul.
"Soulstones are still very useful!"
The development of one's soul was tied to talent in comprehension, insights into Order, and more. It was also a form of talent that could be enhanced.

"Order Fragments, soulstones! And them..."
Li Tianming's goal was very clear.
His heart was exceptionally calm.
Miaomiao raced onward at top speed.
But even it could grow tired.
The Aether Abyss was boundlessly vast. Li Tianming estimated that, relying on Miaomiao's "legwork" without a stellar warship, it might take several years to reach the imperial capital!

It would easily cause a huge commotion.
"What a desolate, godforsaken ancient world," Li
