With the Taiji Diagram and the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, You're Telling Me I Have Innate Level 0 Soul Power?
"Twin Martial Souls?"
The Awakening Master had been about to end the process, but when he saw that the Martial Soul had yet to fully emerge, his eyes immediately lit up.
If it truly was Twin Martial Souls, and the child was some kind of genius, then reporting it would surely earn him quite a few rewards.
With that in mind, he no longer hesitated and continuously poured his Soul Power into him.
A moment later, the Golden Light faded, replaced by Black and White Qi.
It was an ancient and majestic design, founded on black and white like the opposing forces of yin and yang at the dawn of the cosmos. They were clearly divided, yet seamlessly intertwined. The black portion resembled a boundless cosmic abyss, countless stars glimmering within it as though it contained endless mysteries and unknowns. The white portion was like pure, immaculate chaotic qi, gentle light flowing through it and radiating a tranquil, harmonious aura that evoked brightness and hope.
The black and white fish chased one another, their heads and tails connected to form a perfect circle. At the positions of their eyes were gemstones that emitted strange radiance. The gem within the black fish's eye was white, warm and gentle, as though it could perceive the essence of all things in the world. The gem in the white fish's eye was black, deep and mysterious, as though it concealed secrets unknown to heaven and earth. Their lights flowed and echoed one another, making the entire Taiji Diagram seem alive, brimming with endless vitality and transformation.
Ancient, mysterious Runes traced patterns along the edge of the diagram. The Runes glowed with golden light, recording the laws governing heaven and earth and the principles behind the changes of yin and yang, as though recounting the vicissitudes of the universe since its birth.
Following the appearance of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, another magical treasure representing the Grand Pure Daoist Venerable had appeared.
It was the World-Opening Treasure, the Taiji Diagram!
"What kind of Martial Soul is this? I've never seen it before!"
If it had been the Golden Pagoda from earlier, he at least had some knowledge of it. After all, ten thousand years ago, Ning Rongrong, who later became the Nine-Colored Goddess, possessed the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
Though their pagodas differed in color and aura, they were at least both Tool Martial Souls of the pagoda type.
But this one? To be honest, he had never even heard of it. In the history of the Soul Master World, who had ever possessed a Martial Soul that was actually a pattern?
"Chang Sheng, what are these two Martial Souls called?"
Jiang Nannan was equally curious and shocked. Unable to hold herself back after seeing this, she asked.
"The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and the Taiji Diagram!"
Li Changsheng opened his eyes and looked at the two Martial Souls in his hands. He could not hide the shock and disbelief in his eyes.
Others might not know, but how could he fail to recognize them?
It was no exaggeration to say that even in the Primordial World, few magical treasures could contend with these two. Their owner was the foremost of the Three Pure Ones, the strongest among the Six Sages—the Grand Pure Daoist Venerable!
"The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and the Taiji Diagram? Never heard of them!"
Upon hearing those names, both Jiang Nannan and the Awakening Master looked utterly bewildered.
"Forget it. Let's test your Soul Power first!"
After a brief daze, the Awakening Master took a crystal ball and walked over to Li Changsheng.
"Alright!"
Li Changsheng answered casually and placed his hand on it without much concern.
For him, the only thing worth worrying about had been his Martial Souls. As for Innate Soul Power? Heh. He had already awakened the Taiji Diagram and the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda. Surely he would not end up with Level 0 Soul Power, right? That was simply impossible. Their quality and abilities were right there for all to see.
Yet to his surprise, the moment he placed his hand on it, the crystal ball seemed broken. It did not react at all.
"Is it broken?"
Not only Li Changsheng, but even Jiang Nannan could hardly believe it. A genius who had awakened Twin Martial Souls actually had no Soul Power at all?
"Broken? Impossible. I tested someone with it not long ago!"
The Awakening Master was equally confused. Still, following the principle of being cautious rather than dismissive, he took another crystal ball out of his Soul Tool.
"Here, try this one," the Awakening Master said.
"Alright!"
Li Changsheng was no longer calm either. Surely heaven was not playing some kind of joke on him?
The good news was that his awakened Martial Souls were the Taiji Diagram and the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.
The bad news was that he might not have any Innate Soul Power, making him unable to cultivate!
If that were really the case, wouldn't that be utterly disastrous?
After all, the current Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and Taiji Diagram were merely traces of aura weakened by an unknown number of times, not their actual forms.
"You might not believe this, but he may truly have no Soul Power."
A moment later, the Awakening Master sighed softly. Looking at the crystal ball, which still showed no change, he could not help falling into deep thought.
Damn it. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that a child who awakened Twin Martial Souls could be like those with Waste Martial Souls—without Soul Power and unable to cultivate.
"Sigh."
Li Changsheng sighed as well. Not knowing what else to say, he turned and left.
Jiang Nannan immediately followed him and asked softly, "Chang Sheng, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I'm just confused. It feels like something must have gone wrong somewhere."
Logically, this should not have happened. Perhaps some unforeseen accident had occurred without anyone noticing.
The two returned home. After saying goodbye to Jiang Nannan, Li Changsheng shut his door and released his two Martial Souls.
At that moment, the Taiji Diagram was slowly rotating, while the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Pagoda stood as still as a mountain. The bells beneath its eaves swayed gently, producing a pleasant sound.
"Sigh, where has this poor Daoist come to?"
Just then, a voice full of confusion rang out in Li Changsheng's mind.
"Who is that? Who's speaking in my mind?"
Li Changsheng froze at first. Suspecting that he had misheard, he could not help testing the waters.
"In your mind? Let me come out and take a look!"
As soon as the words fell, an elderly man dressed in a yin-yang Daoist robe, with a peaceful countenance, appeared out of thin air before Li Changsheng.
"Holy shit!"
Li Changsheng instinctively retreated several steps. Assuming a defensive stance, he asked, "Who are you? How are you in my mind?"
Could this person be some mighty expert from another world, like Electrolux, with only a strand of Divine Sense remaining?
If that were the case, then it would explain why his Innate Soul Power had been completely drained.
Perhaps the guy in front of him had absorbed it.
"Others call me Taishang. You may call me Morality Heavenly Venerate!" the old man replied.
"Who? Who did you say you are? Morality Heavenly Venerate? Cut the crap! How could he possibly have been beaten into such a state like you? Isn't that ridiculous?"
Li Changsheng looked disdainful upon hearing this, clearly unwilling to believe the old man's introduction.
