Nascent Soul Takes Shape

"Advanced draw successful!"

"You have acquired the feat 'Soul Splitting and Absorption' from the Dragon Lich Besard."

"Soul Splitting and Absorption: You can split your soul into 100 parts. As long as one part of your soul remains, you can continue your life and be resurrected. However, you may lose some of your memories during the resurrection process."

In a spirit form.

You can grow stronger by consuming other souls or spirits.

"So-so..."

I glanced at the data panel.

Roger had no interest in investigating further.

This skill was not only useless to Roger.

For the Dragon Lich itself, it is utterly useless.

Because it is already a lich.

Liches are a variant of spirits.

It can no longer divide itself.

In other words...

The moment Besard's life casket was destroyed.

He was already completely dead.

There is no possibility of resurrection.

But.

Roger guessed that Besard had used this feat to survive a few times before—at least before he became Dragon Lich, he must have done so, otherwise he wouldn't have survived the erosion of time over those long years.

For Roger...

Unless one's later years are unfortunate.

Otherwise, there would be no reason for them to use such insidious and cannibalistic expertise.

They easily dealt with Besard and the Cosmic Demon Dragon.

Roger also eliminated the last remaining threat in the Demon Dragon Abyss.

Things became much easier after that.

Roger took a little time.

Completely remove the mark from the body of the Cosmic Demon Dragon.

He wasn't in a hurry to let Cisco possess him.

Instead, he urged him to diligently practice the two soul-enhancing techniques he had provided.

We are just waiting for the right time.

Cisco can then transform into a Super Giant Creature!

Certainly.

This process is certainly not that simple.

Possession is somewhat dangerous.

But the more troublesome issue is how to awaken the physical vitality of the Cosmic Demon Dragon.

This process isn't something that can be decided by who has the bigger fist.

Roger was thinking that he might need to ask Beya for help again.

After all, the latter is now the highest-level existence Above Twin Stars.

Moreover, those Divine Kingdom Practitioner are even more adept at manipulating life.

Transformed into Red Phoenix, it took a stroll through the Demon Dragon Abyss.

Roger then continued working.

Not two days later.

He then stopped refining the material again.

There was a hint of joy in his eyes—

He discovered that his speed in smelting the Demon Dragon Abyss seemed to have increased significantly!

This shouldn't be an illusion.

It was the feedback received after completely mastering the Grindstone Seal!

Perhaps.

It's also related to his previous efforts to pry open the Origin Grinding Disc.

The relationship between the Origin Grinding Disc and the Demon Dragon Abyss is very subtle.

The Demon Dragon Abyss can be said to exist solely for the Origin Grinding Disc.

Therefore.

Roger's act of prying open the Origin Grinding Disc may have triggered some subtle changes.

This made Demon Dragon Abyss less resistant to him!

At the current pace

It won't take thirty years.

The Demon Dragon Abyss will then completely transform into Roger's shape!

On the other hand...

Roger also received some good news—

The Heavenly Heart Puppet responsible for cultivating the "Nascent Soul Great Method" has completed its initial cultivation.

The current attributes of the Nascent Soul are as follows:

"Three Flowers Nascent Soul LV1"

The Five Elements: Fire, Thunder, and Ice

Grade: Top Grade

Attribute 1: Health +1000

Attribute 2: Strength +3

Attribute 3: Qi +20000

"Supernatural Power 1: Three Flowers Power"

"Three Flowers Power: When your attack is accompanied by one of the fire, lightning, or ice effects, the damage of the other two effects is increased by 500%"

"Supernatural Power 2: Nascent Soul Self-Destruction"

"Nascent Soul Self-Destruction: You can initiate Nascent Soul Self-Destruction to create a devastating explosion;..."

After the Nascent Soul Self-Destruction.

You need to spend a lot of time and resources to cultivate a new Nascent Soul;

Note: The attributes of a new Nascent Soul may not be the same as those of a Nascent Soul previously possessed.

According to the Dao Lord's Ascension Manual.

The attributes and supernatural powers of the Nascent Soul have a high degree of randomness.

However, this randomness is also based on the cultivation method and the characteristics of one's own martial arts.

Of the three attributes.

The increase in health points is likely related to Roger's already substantial health bar.

It's like adding icing on the cake.

Strength is also thanks to the Nonagon Warrior.

Although adding power now is pointless.

But once Roger broke through immortality...

The attributes still have an effect.

After all, who would complain about having more solid basic attributes? Increasing Qi is equally important.

Because this is only a Level 1 Nascent Soul! This continues as the Heavenly Heart Puppet continues its cultivation.

The Nascent Soul level can be continuously upgraded.

Its upper limit is equal to its own level.

In other words, how many levels can Roger reach?

How many levels can you reach in the Nascent Soul stage?

Generally speaking.

A Nascent Soul cultivator possesses 50% to 70% of the power of an extraordinary being.

And then it reached the level of ascension.

The Nascent Soul cultivator's strength was almost equal to his master's.

But the combination of these two is not a simple equation where one plus one equals two!

The Dao Lord mentioned it.

Ascended beings who have reached the Nascent Soul stage are not on the same level as those who have reached the Transcendent Nascent Soul stage!

The former is at least ten times stronger than the latter! Roger himself observed this.

Not all Qi Refiner stage.

At least in the Cloud Sea World.

Roger has seen no more than five Nascent Soul cultivators.

Moreover, their levels are all very low.

Its grade is even lower than that of the Three Flowers Nascent Soul cultivated by the Heavenly Heart Puppet—

This is mainly because Roger's internal energy is so vast and solid.

It also has the super bonus of having Immortal Bone.

The quality of the Nascent Soul is naturally superior to all others.

"Therefore, the Nascent Soul is actually a type of equipment for Qi Refiner, and it can be upgraded!"

Roger understood.

"This thing is similar to Demigod Artifact, but it's even more malleable!"

"Moreover, with the increase in level, there is also the possibility of comprehending new supernatural abilities!"

Thinking about this...

He was in a great mood.

The excellent performance of the Heavenly Heart Puppet proves how wise Roger was to refrain from choosing a combat-type artifact!

He never thinks he has too many machines to train 24/7!

"Power leveling..."

"Etc!"

Roger suddenly Flash of Inspiration: "Logically speaking, my refining of the Demon Dragon Abyss is also a form of cultivation..."

The next moment.

He suspended the option for the Heavenly Heart Puppet to cultivate the Nascent Soul Great Method.

Try dragging it to replace yourself in refining the Demon Dragon Abyss.

In the darkness.

A doll that looks exactly like Roger appeared in the Demon Dragon Abyss.

It mimics Roger pressing his hands on the Grindstone Seal.

A sense of familiarity arose spontaneously.

Roger's face lit up with joy! This felt exactly like when he was cultivating the Nascent Soul Great Method! It was as if he had an extra hand.

A remarkably skillful hand! All it takes is a thought from Roger.

It will complete the task! (See the data panel.)

"Notification: The Heavenly Heart Puppet has begun refining the 'Demon Dragon Abyss' on your behalf..."

"Estimated time: 19 years, 54 days, and 9 hours..."

It's done!

This is fantastic news that will allow me to completely unleash my true form! And with the Heavenly Heart Puppet's 1.5x cultivation speed boost...

Roger could take over the Demon Dragon Abyss in less than 20 years!

Furthermore, the Slaughter Authority Rank allows for the separate refinement of the monument left behind by the Slaughter Mask, "Seven Killings River".

Therefore.

As long as Roger lives a peaceful life for the next 30 years.

He can then use the "Plain Daily Life" to reach the third monument.

Thus, one can achieve immortality in one fell swoop! From the current perspective.

The threats near the binary stars have been largely eliminated.

Apart from the occasional signs of the Heavenly Tribunal Army.

Roger could leave the remaining enemies to his followers.

It's not absolutely impossible to seclude yourself for health preservation for thirty years.

It all depends on how well it's executed.

"Unfortunately, 'Plain Daily Life' has very strict rules regarding combat judgment; even if clones and projections enter a state of activation, it's considered invalid..."

Roger sighed inwardly.

He pondered for a moment.

It was decided to temporarily entrust the task of refining the Demon Dragon Abyss to the Heavenly Heart Puppet.

In any case, the Nascent Soul stage has already been initially achieved.

There's no rush for the rest.

Let's talk about it after we've refined the Demon Dragon Abyss! "It's a pity this Heavenly Heart Puppet can't do two things at once!"

With a hint of regret.

Roger greeted Cisco.

Then they prepared to leave the Demon Dragon Abyss.

But at that very moment...

His senses began to pound violently.

An unusual sense of unease arose spontaneously!

"Enemies!"

Roger vanished from the spot in a flash.

Immediately afterwards.

He appeared at the Tenth Layer of the Demon Dragon Abyss!

"Roar!"

A strange-looking worm opened its mouthparts at Roger.

The round mouthparts were surrounded by serrated teeth.

As for the inside of the mouthparts.

What's even more surprising is that there are countless similar molars and wriggling blood vessels!

There's more than one of these strange insects! Roger made a decisive move and waved his hand.

The Slaughter Domain instantly expanded!

"Notification: You have used your special ability 'No Mercy'!"...

"You killed 9 Astral Flesh Worm"

"The freshness and deliciousness of your meat have been slightly improved."

Your wisdom tooth count increased by 1.

"What the hell?"

What puzzled Roger was not only the useless attributes provided by the Astral Flesh Worm.

He wanted to know where these guys came from.

This thing doesn't look like a monster from the Demon Dragon Abyss at all, right?

Near the Tenth Layer.

Roger found more Astral Flesh Worm.

Despite the garbage attributes.

He could only remove the Sin Mark and then grit his teeth and clean it up.

The only thing that brought Roger some comfort was...

The Astral Flesh Worm provides a high amount of XP.

Three minutes later.

Roger cleaned up all the worms.

But he still hasn't found the source of these worms.

The Demon Dragon Abyss is sealed off.

His control over the Demon Dragon Abyss during the refining process was almost all-encompassing...

The possibility that some monsters are still lurking inside the Demon Dragon Abyss can be ruled out.

There was only one answer left! Roger's figure disappeared again.

This time.

He activated the power of the Grindstone Seal.

They arrived once again in the subspace where the Origin Grinding Disc was located.

You won't know until you see it.

Roger was shocked to find that the place was completely filled with countless Astral Flesh Worm!

It took a lot of effort.

He removed all the worms.

We've finally found the source of these things!

It is located directly below the space adjacent to the Origin Grinding Disc.

A barely noticeable crack had appeared!...

"Warning: You have discovered an 'Unknown Rift'."

"Unknown Rift: You have sensed a strong aura of Aberrant Matter..."

You used the Qi Divination Technique...

You discover that the Unknown Rift leads to the 'Quartz Cave'...

"Quartz Cave? "Roger was slightly taken aback.

He immediately had a look of sudden realization—

This damn Origin Grinding Disc is actually suppressing such a terrifying crevice?

The bottom of the Demon Dragon Abyss.

There was actually a spatial tunnel leading to the Abyss of Destruction! This was something Roger had not anticipated.

Originally, this space tunnel was completely blocked by the Origin Grinding Disc.

And the force with which Roger pried open the millstone last time.

I accidentally knocked the millstone askew.

This time.

A tiny crack seeped out from the crack.

Large monsters definitely can't squeeze into such a gap.

However, smaller creatures are more likely to Seize the Opportunity.

Given the current situation.

It must be a swarm of Astral Flesh Worm.

Just clean it up in time.

But from a long-term perspective...

Who knows what else might crawl in next! You know...

That's the Quartz Cave.

It is the second layer of the Abyss of Destruction! It is also the deepest part of the Abyss of Destruction that Roger knew!

"However, if we can leverage the power of the Origin Grinding Disc, any monster that comes will be crushed instantly..."

"Maybe this passage was designed by the Ideas Master to fish for monsters. Anyway, no matter what kind of monster comes in, it won't be able to withstand the Strong Celestial Artifact..."

"For now, this gap shouldn't cause too much trouble. If it really comes down to it, have Windermere go down and plug it..."

I thought about it for a while.

Roger decided to apply a slight dynamic seal here.

At the same time, a few people should be assigned to be stationed and guarded.

They don't even need disciples of the Clear Spring Sect.

All Five Elements Dao Soldiers can meet the needs of guarding! The existence of space tunnels does not mean that everything is a bad thing.

After all, this thing is bidirectional.

If the crack is proven to be safe.

Roger's journey to the Quartz Cave also became much easier.

To put it simply, it's dangerous.

It's really just so-so.

After all, the overlord of the Quartz Cave—

Whale Shark King Windermere, has become Roger's mount.

If used properly.

This rift might become Roger's springboard for exploring the Abyss of Destruction.

After some minor processing.

Roger then left the subspace.

The slight feeling of stiffness was fleeting.

He returned to the dry well.

In the Extraterritorial World.

Apart from the area surrounding the Yin-Yang Inversion Grand Formation.

It also features three locations: "Demon Dragon Abyss", "Heavenly Craft Tower", and "Falling Goose Palace".

Roger has now thoroughly investigated the Demon Dragon Abyss.

Next.

He planned to visit Falling Goose Palace.

After all, the Yan Fire Token could open the Falling Goose Palace had already been delivered to him by Beya.

He is looking forward to finding more at the Pingsha School site.

Even the orc Martial Artist Blyde gained a great deal at the ruins of the Pingsha School Sect branch, ultimately mastering his lifelong martial arts skills.

Roger thought to himself that if he could take over the Pingsha School headquarters...

In addition, there are the reserves of the Clear Spring Sect and Cloud Sea World.

The martial arts techniques he possesses are probably the most abundant in the universe!

It's a pity.

Roger's wish was not fulfilled this time.

When he used the Yan Fire Token to open the solemn gates of the Falling Goose Palace.

He saw only an empty space.

Everything has been moved out!

Apart from the solemn and imposing exterior walls and a few empty building shells.

There was almost nothing here.

Walking among the cold, impersonal buildings.

Those who accompanied Roger.

Only withered yellow grass remained.

"The site of the Pingsha School headquarters has been emptied out?"

"Who did this?"

With this question in mind.

Roger left Falling Goose Palace.

The final destination on the way to the Extraterritorial World—

The Heavenly Craft Tower!...
