Eastsea City was the second-largest coastal city in the eastern part of the Sun Moon Federation. An important port city, fishing city, and marine resource development city, it was one of the Federation's eighteen first-tier cities and the Skysea Alliance's second core city, holding a pivotal position among all towns and cities in the eastern Sun Moon Federation.
Eastsea City had a long history. It had already existed during the era of the Sun Moon Empire. Whenever Jing Shaoyu thought of that, he could not help but complain inwardly. Just how absurd had the rulers of the Sun Moon Empire been? They had managed to turn a perfectly good empire into a federal state—wasn't that utterly ridiculous?
Still, with organizations like Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and the Spirit Transfer Pagoda around, the Sun Moon Federation truly lived up to its name. Those three organizations were practically one step away from founding their own countries on the spot.
They had arrived at the East Sea Spirit Transfer Pagoda.
As one of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's eighteen branch towers, the East Sea Spirit Transfer Pagoda was among the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's Eighteen Pillars. Judging by its height alone, the title was well deserved. Standing over four hundred meters tall, it was the tallest building in Eastsea City.
From the outside, the East Sea Spirit Transfer Pagoda was indeed an octagonal pagoda. It grew narrower the higher it rose, culminating in a sharp spire that looked exceptionally imposing.
"Wow! So this is the Spirit Transfer Pagoda? It's so tall!" Na'er cried out in surprise.
"Haha, that's right. This is the East Sea Spirit Transfer Pagoda, one of Eastsea City's landmark buildings!" Ouyang Jian said proudly, sweeping his arm forward. "Come on, let's go in!"
Upon entering the East Sea Spirit Transfer Pagoda, the first thing Jing Shaoyu saw was a mural recording Huo Yuhao's deeds. Honestly, it was indeed grand and inspiring. But when he thought of how their dear Huo Yuhao had been toyed with by Great God King Tang, Jing Shaoyu shuddered. It was better not to have such grandeur.
"Lord City Lord, what brings you to our Spirit Transfer Pagoda so suddenly?" The receptionist in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's lobby recognized Ouyang Jian and asked in surprise.
"I've brought a junior to select a Soul Spirit. Notify Old Ji and have him come down to receive me," Ouyang Jian said casually.
"Yes, please wait a moment!" The receptionist did not dare delay in the slightest and immediately activated the communicator to report the city lord's visit. Less than a minute later, the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's lobby had been cleared out. The previously bustling hall was instantly left with only Ouyang Jian's group of three and the Spirit Transfer Pagoda staff.
"Old Ouyang, what wind blew you over to my Spirit Transfer Pagoda? Why didn't you let me know in advance?" Before long, an energetic white-haired elder appeared in the lobby. The moment he arrived, he laughed and spoke to Ouyang Jian.
The elder was none other than Ji Changming, the Tower Master of the East Sea Spirit Transfer Pagoda.
"Cut the nonsense. I'm here to select a Soul Spirit today, so hurry up and serve me!" Ouyang Jian shouted rudely, looking thoroughly overbearing.
"Selecting a Soul Spirit?" Ji Changming froze for a moment. His gaze swept over Ouyang Jian a few times before he noticed Jing Shaoyu and Na'er beside him. When he saw Jing Shaoyu, a look of understanding appeared on his face. Smiling, he said, "Sure, let's go. I've been waiting for you for quite some time!"
"Waiting for me? What do you mean? You knew I was coming?" Ouyang Jian looked at Ji Changming in confusion.
"Hehe, this child is Jing Shaoyu, right?" Ji Changming immediately called out Jing Shaoyu's name. He chuckled. "Who do you think handles Martial Soul Awakening? This child awakened his Martial Soul at noon, and I received news from Xiahou Wu in Aolai City that very afternoon! I just didn't expect you old fellow to personally bring him here. It seems his Martial Soul is quite extraordinary!"
"Hmph!" Ouyang Jian's expression shifted before he gave a soft snort. "Then lead the way already."
"Alright, alright, let's go!" Ji Changming's smile never faded as he led Ouyang Jian, Jing Shaoyu, and Na'er into a Red Elevator.
The elevator traveled to the top floor, and the group entered a massive room. Its furnishings were simple. The most eye-catching features were three huge LCD screens and a broad desk directly facing the door.
"Come, child. We'll first measure some essential physical data before selecting a Soul Spirit for you." Ji Changming pointed at a circular platform beneath the three LCD screens, signaling for Jing Shaoyu to stand on it.
"Alright." Jing Shaoyu stepped onto the platform. A green light rose from beneath his feet and swiftly swept across his entire body.
The colors on the three LCD screens rapidly shifted. Before long, three lines of text appeared. Jing Shaoyu looked up and saw:
Bone Age: Six years, two months, and three days. Physical Strength: Level 21. Mental Power: 111 points.
Both Ouyang Jian and Ji Changming revealed surprised expressions. Their gazes toward Jing Shaoyu were filled with fervor and excitement. Ouyang Jian said excitedly, "Good boy! You've only just awakened your Martial Soul, yet you already possess the physique of a Soul Grandmaster!"
Ji Changming stepped forward and grabbed Jing Shaoyu's arm. "Child, are you interested in joining our Spirit Transfer Pagoda?"
"Hey, Ji! You old bastard, aren't you taking me a little too lightly? Poaching someone right in front of me?" Ouyang Jian's face immediately darkened with anger as he shouted.
"Haha, old friend, don't be angry, don't be angry!" Seeing Ouyang Jian get angry, Ji Changming hurriedly smiled apologetically. "I just cherish talent. This child has reached the Spirit Connection Realm in Mental Power at such a young age. He's practically a born Spirit Master, so, hehe!"
"Hmph!" Ouyang Jian snorted coldly.
Jing Shaoyu lowered his eyes as he looked at his own data, quietly pondering.
Physical Strength at Level 21 meant that his current physique was comparable to that of an ordinary Level 21 Soul Master. Mental Power at 111 points meant that his Mental Power had reached the Spirit Connection Realm.
In today's Soul Master world, Soul Power Level was no longer the sole measure of a Soul Master's strength. Mental Power had become the new standard. Thanks to the increasingly refined Soul Spirit System over the past ten thousand years, the Mental Power system had also been established within the Soul Master world.
The Spirit Origin Realm was the initial level of Mental Power. The saying, "One origin begins all things anew," referred to the Mental Power a person possessed from birth. Mental Power at the Spirit Origin Realm could support yellow Soul Spirits and those below yellow.
The Spirit Connection Realm meant that the heart connected to the divine and thoughts reached wherever intent went. It was the entry point to controlling Mental Power. Mental Power at this realm could support two yellow Soul Spirits or one purple Soul Spirit. Jing Shaoyu's 111 points of Mental Power was a quantified Mental Power value, falling within the Spirit Connection Realm's range of 100 to 500 points.
The Spirit Sea Realm meant the mind was like a sea, vast and boundless. Mental Power had entered the advanced ranks. In the current Soul Master world, only those whose Mental Power reached this level could truly be considered strong. Mental Power at this level could already support ten-thousand-year Black Soul Spirits. In numerical terms, Spirit Sea Realm Mental Power ranged from 500 to 5,000 points.
The Spirit Abyss Realm was as deep as an abyss and as grim as a prison, spanning from the stars beyond the nine heavens down to the trenches of the four seas. Wherever the heart envisioned, intent could reach. Mental Power at this level was already rare in the human world. It was enough to support hundred-thousand-year Red Soul Spirits, or even Orange Soul Spirits over two hundred thousand years old. The Spirit Abyss Realm required over 5,000 points of Mental Power.
The Spirit Domain Realm meant spiritual awareness formed a domain, creating a world of its own. Once Mental Power reached this realm, one could support Soul Spirits of any quality. It required at least 20,000 points of Mental Power.
The Divine Origin Realm meant spiritual awareness transformed into divinity and the primordial origin took shape. This was a legendary level of Mental Power, said to be one of the prerequisites for becoming a god. To break through to the Divine Origin Realm, one's Mental Power had to reach at least 50,000 points!
"Alright, A Yu, was it? Come over here." Ji Changming smiled and beckoned Jing Shaoyu over.
Jing Shaoyu walked to Ji Changming's side and looked at him expectantly. At last, was he about to obtain a Soul Spirit and become a true Soul Master?
"Child, let me see your Martial Soul first. Only then can we determine what type of Soul Spirit suits you," Ji Changming said. His gaze instinctively shifted toward Ouyang Jian. Ouyang Jian's expression remained calm, clearly showing no intention of stopping him, which put Ji Changming much more at ease.
"Yes!" Jing Shaoyu immediately released his Origin Spirit Martial Soul. The rich vitality invigorated Ji Changming, and his aged face filled with shock.
"Th-this... it's actually a healing-type Martial Soul with the Life Attribute!" Ji Changming blurted out. He looked toward Ouyang Jian, only to find him gazing back with a somewhat smug expression. Ji Changming opened his mouth and once again asked the question that made Ouyang Jian lose his composure. "Child, join our Spirit Transfer Pagoda! I can arrange for a Titled Douluo to take you as a disciple!"
"Ji Changming!" Ouyang Jian erupted in fury.
