Heaven Realm Late Stage

After parting ways with Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Ming randomly found a room.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Xiao Ming took out his Soul Origin.

The three clusters of Soul Origin shone brightly, making Xiao Ming's soul, which was nearby, feel somewhat excited.

Reaching out, Xiao Ming gathered the three clumps of Soul Origin into one. Perhaps because they were of the same kind, he did not sense any resistance.

The Soul Origin formed by the merging of the three was much larger than Xiao Ming's entire body, hovering in mid-air, somewhat like a moon shrunk countless times.

Compared to this Soul Origin, Xiao Ming's Early Heaven Realm soul seemed much "smaller." However, these Soul Origin were ultimately just inanimate objects, so Xiao Ming had nothing to worry about.

He summoned the White Glass Heart Flame, preparing to burn away the remaining poison of life within his Soul Origin.

Xiao Ming's soul emerged from his body and began its absorption journey.

The clear and ethereal Soul Origin, like a dream, enveloped Xiao Ming's soul, seemingly an endless Soul Origin, flowing into it like water.

Xiao Ming felt enveloped by a warm current, experiencing a genuine sense of relaxation. As his Soul Origin merged with it, Xiao Ming soul continued to ascend.

In the crisp, green, and tranquil Sound Valley, a gentle breeze ripples through the Sea of Forest.

In a place invisible to the naked eye, a Soul Domain takes shape, covering the entire Sound Valley, and even showing a tendency to spread beyond the Sound Valley.

However, due to the spatial barrier, the domain field ultimately failed to penetrate, and all the disciples of the Sound Valley felt an invisible pressure.

Qing Yinan and Qing Yiya stood side by side at the entrance of the palace, gazing in the direction of Xiao Ming, their eyes filled with surprise.

Even they could feel this oppressive aura, which had nothing to do with their Dou Qi Cultivation, but rather with their souls.

Without a doubt, this is the soul of the Heavenly Realm, and it is constantly rising!

"The souls of the Heavenly Realm Soul Realm are incredibly difficult to ascend. You and I are only at the Ling Realm now, yet Xiao Ming has grown so rapidly at such a young age... sigh..." Qing Yinan sighed softly, her tone full of envy.

"He must have had some kind of extraordinary encounter," Qing Yiya thought to herself, but she didn't dwell on it. Instead, she felt a pang of envy.

If this were a breakthrough made outside, given the current commotion, Xiao Ming would probably already be attacked.

Qing Yi, as the Valley Master, was quite surprised by this sudden pressure.

However, after sensing Xiao Ming's Aura, he sighed inwardly at his extraordinary talent and then instructed his disciples not to disturb Listening Bamboo Pavilion.

Qing Lin, who was in seclusion during his cultivation, was also awakened. At this moment, Qing Lin's Aura had reached the Seven-Star Dou Zun.

"This is the young master's Aura! The young master has become stronger again! No, I must keep working hard too!"

A resolute expression filled Qing Lin's small face as she began to cultivate.

Inside the Listening Bamboo Pavilion, Xiao Ming was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world. He only knew that his soul was wandering in a warm ocean, constantly feeling the power of his soul.

Time stretched out infinitely in that moment, and Xiao Ming didn't know how much time had passed. He only knew that a very long time ago, his soul had already reached the Heaven Realm Mid Stage.

Even so, a vast amount of Soul Origin remained. Absorbing this Soul Origin, it was simply tempered with Heavenly Flames, rapidly soaring towards the Heaven Realm Late Stage.

With Heaven Realm Late Stage soul, how many people on the entire continent have reached this level? Xiao Ming was able to fight Low-Tier Dou Sheng with his powerful Soul Power.

As time passed, Xiao Ming had almost completely absorbed the Soul Origin, leaving only a thin layer that enveloped his soul, forming a strange crystalline layer.

Sizzle!

Suddenly, a sound of shattering crystals rang out. At that moment, Xiao Ming truly awoke, his Soul Explosion and tearing through the crystal layers.

"Boom!"

Dark clouds filled the sky, lightning flashed like silver snakes, and thunder roared.

The sky above Sound Valley was filled with swirling clouds and rising winds.

Qing Yinan appeared almost instantly, standing atop the Sound Valley, unleashing a powerful Aura.

The sky, which was about to shatter, quickly returned to normal, clear and transparent, as if nothing had ever happened.

"This kid is really something, he can't even break through peacefully. I really don't know how he cultivates. The commotion he's causing is even greater than when we broke through to the Half-Saint back then."

Back at the palace, Qing Yinan said to her sister in silence.

"Who knows? If I were to sense it carefully, even with my Intermediate Half-Saint strength, I would feel a chill. His gains this time are probably quite substantial."

"He said he could come to us if he needed anything, but who would have thought his soul would achieve such a breakthrough..." Qing Yiya felt a little embarrassed as she said this.

The two sisters exchanged a glance, speechless.

"The current Valley Master Burning Flame Valley has arrived." Perhaps to change the subject, Qing Yinan brought up other things.

"I've also heard Little Qing Yi mention it. It seems to be related to Ice River Valley. Right now, Central Plains is in turmoil, and the conflict between Ice River Valley and Burning Flame Valley is becoming increasingly acute..." Qing Yiya replied.

"I think he's trying to drag our Sound Valley down with him..."

"Although our Sound Valley has always been on good terms with the Burning Flame Valley, and our Cold Poison has been driven out, given the current situation in Central Plains, getting involved would probably not be beneficial," Qing Yiya said.

During this time, they also gained a basic understanding of the situation in Central Plains.

"I think so too. Moreover, Fire Cloud Ancestor and Old Ancestor Ice Thorn haven't shown themselves for many years. We don't know if they're still alive, or what level their cultivation has reached."

Fire Cloud Ancestor is the Old Ancestor Burning Flame Valley, and Old Ancestor Ice Thorn is the Old Ancestor Ice River Valley. These two are older than them and have higher cultivation levels.

If they were still alive, they would already be Dou Sheng, while they are still stuck at the Intermediate Half-Saint due to the Cold Poison.

"Since that's the case, let's just brush it off..."

An invisible soul, like ripples on water, quietly spread out, reflecting throughout the entire Sound Valley back into Xiao Ming's mind.

In that instant, he could sense the slightest movement of anyone in the Sound Valley.

Unidentified insects are mating, or perhaps the movement patterns of all the bamboo stalks in the bamboo forest.

He could even sense the conversation between the two sisters, Qing Yinan and Qing Yiya, yet no one else noticed.

"So this is the soul of Heaven Realm Late Stage...?"

A low murmur echoed in Xiao Ming's heart; he could clearly feel the difference between himself now and before.

The gap Heaven Realm Late Stage is even greater than the gap between the Heavenly Realm and the Mortal Realm.

"However, Tang Zhen, the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley, has arrived?"

"You've come at the perfect time. I was just looking for the complete Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Changes, which will save me a trip to Burning Flame Valley."

Xiao Ming had long been interested in the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Changes, or rather, he had long been interested in the Clan Mark.

Although the Burning Flame Valley's heritage is incomplete, it's still better than nothing.
