Preparations Before Leaving

Xiao Wu no longer carried the aura of a Soul Beast, and the Star Dou Great Forest had entered a very stable period of development!

Through Jerry's efforts, all the plants in the Core Region had been empowered to fifty thousand years, causing the Soul Power Concentration there to surge! It had now reached 150 times! Jerry had also empowered batches in every other area. The lowest Soul Power Concentration in the other areas had now reached 10 times, while the Lightning Attribute Area had reached 25 times!

During this period, Jerry had the Soul Beasts move the ores from every area! Many Ordinary Plant Soul Beasts had also gradually begun transforming to develop other attributes within the dense Attribute Soul Power!

Every area had now taken on the rudimentary form of an extreme attribute area! Jerry believed that, after some more time, every area would become an extreme attribute area! That way, the Soul Beasts would be able to cultivate faster!

Jerry forged ten thousand swords, modeled after the swords from the xianxia stories of his previous life. They looked incredibly cool! He tested them with his Spiritual Power and found that he could perfectly control at most a thousand swords. Any more than that, and his control became somewhat sluggish! He still had a long way to go before achieving the Myriad Swords Return to Origin he had envisioned!

He also forged several special swords: Metal Attribute Xuanyuan Swords modeled after those in Chinese Paladin; Fire Attribute Flame Swords modeled after the weapons of the angels in Super Seminary; Ice Attribute Frostmourne; Light Attribute Holy Light Swords; Dark Attribute Dark Holy Swords; Lightning Attribute Thunder Blades; Spirit Attribute Illusion Swords; Poison Attribute Poison Swords; Wood Attribute Life Swords; and Earth Attribute Defense Greatswords! Every one of these swords looked incredibly cool. They were forged entirely from attribute ores and possessed no special abilities—the main thing was that they looked awesome!

Besides the swords, he also forged one hundred Flying Daggers. They looked unbelievably cool, modeled after the Flying Daggers he had seen in Swallowed Star in his previous life! Within the range of his Spiritual Power, the Flying Daggers were as fast as lightning! Jerry even planned to show Tang San a Little Li Flying Dagger next time they met and see whether Little Li Flying Dagger or Tang San's hidden weapons were stronger!

As his understanding of attributes deepened, Jerry increasingly felt just how powerful they were! Other Soul Masters only knew how to use their Martial Souls; they had not mastered their Martial Souls' attributes at all! He originally had a chance to master attributes himself, but after that Crystal Ball messed with him, he had nothing!

Jerry now only had a Wood Attribute Soul Power Seed. After covering the area with his Spiritual Power, he was now able to control the Wood Attribute! Having mastered it, Jerry created three Soul Skills with his Wood Attribute!

One was Soul Power Wings developed by imitating Dou Qi Wings; one was Soul Power Armor, which took shape after Soul Power covered his entire body. Its defense was decent, but the main thing was that it looked cool! The last was Wood Arrow Rain, which condensed Soul Power into arrows and fired them out! At minimum, he could create one arrow, while at most, he could currently condense 200 arrows. They were all cool skills! To Jerry, power was one thing, but looking cool was for life!

Jerry remembered the six Soul Bones from the Clear Sky Sect in his ring. Since he would not absorb them himself, he could let his Martial Soul absorb them instead. This time, the absorption was very fast. Perhaps because his Spiritual Power was strong, it was completed in just two weeks.

After absorbing them, the First Soul Ring reached fifty thousand years, and its Soul Skill was strengthened as well. Cultivation Speed increased by 80%, and Jerry could now release it! Ever since the last Martial Soul Evolution, Xiao Wu had not dared to eat it. Now that he could release it voluntarily, Xiao Wu's cultivation would become even faster in the future!

Of course, the six Soul Bones contained far more Soul Power than that: one was thirty thousand years, two were forty thousand years, two were fifty thousand years, and one was eighty thousand years! Together, they totaled two hundred and fifty thousand years. Yet the First Soul Ring only rose to fifty thousand years. The remaining two hundred thousand or so years were almost entirely absorbed by Jerry's Martial Soul's Soul Power Seed, while some of the other attributes were absorbed by the Crystal Ball!

After absorbing so much Soul Power, Jerry's Wood Attribute Soul Power Seed finally transformed. His Soul Power Seed had now grown to its limit, becoming a round and plump seed. At this point, Jerry was equivalent to having Innate Full Soul Power! After reaching its limit, it absorbed plenty more Soul Power, yet did not change at all. Jerry knew that Innate Full Soul Power was merely Level 10 Soul Power, not the peak of this world. He truly wanted to see what Qian Renxue's Innate Level 20 Soul Power Seed looked like!

The improvement of the Martial Soul Seed drove the Martial Soul Evolution, and its appearance changed as well. The Carrot directly became humanoid, with a nose, eyes, mouth, ears, hands, and feet just like a human's. Its leaves turned directly into hair! Green hair, at that. Jerry was speechless. His Martial Soul had a patch of green on its head! It was absurd beyond belief! Its roots also wove themselves into a beautiful little outfit for the Martial Soul to wear, while four green light wings appeared behind its back! It stood around twenty centimeters tall. Jerry was stunned. His Martial Soul had become a fairy! It had directly evolved into the kind of Fairy he had seen in novels in his previous life!

He had heard of animal Soul Beasts undergoing Humanoid Transformation and plant Soul Beasts undergoing Humanoid Transformation, but this was the first time he had seen a Martial Soul undergo Humanoid Transformation! If he said his Martial Soul was a Carrot from now on, who would believe him?

However, the little Martial Soul Fairy had no consciousness right now. Jerry did not know whether it could develop its own consciousness in the future. That would be fun!

The six Soul Bones had allowed his Martial Soul to evolve, and Jerry felt that it was well worth it! But if Soul Masters outside learned of this, they would probably curse him angrily for being a wastrel. What Soul Master who obtained a Soul Bone would not treasure it dearly? After all, Soul Bones could be passed down generation after generation! They were not one-time items, which was why Soul Bones were so valuable among Soul Masters—equivalent to Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings!

Jerry always felt that the Crystal Ball was now a hidden danger. It was inside his head, yet he could not control it, and it absorbed Soul Power every moment of every day. Such an uncontrollable thing made Jerry uneasy! But there was nothing he could do about it now! He could only wait and see in the future!

Xiao Wu had now cultivated to Level 48. Her Soul Rings were yellow, purple, purple, and black. As long as she revealed her Soul Rings outside, who would dare say she was not a genius? Jerry himself was now Level 56, with black, yellow, yellow, black, and red Soul Rings. This strange combination would probably stun plenty of people! It was not yet time for him to absorb the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone! Everything else was ready!

After leaving, Jerry had considered which faction to join. He did not have a favorable impression of the Three Great Sects or the Two Great Empires! Spirit Hall was not bad, but Bibi Dong had killed Xiao Wu's Mother! Back when Jerry had read the novel, he had sympathized with Bibi Dong. This made things difficult!

Jerry had also considered reviving Xiao Wu's Mother in the future, but Xiao Wu was an exception. After her sacrifice, her body had been preserved due to the Lovesick Heartbreak Red! Xiao Wu's Mother's body had long since been taken away by Spirit Hall! By now, they had probably even eaten it!

Jerry suddenly remembered that Xiao Wu's revival in the Original Work had three conditions, one of which mentioned Holy Soul Grass! That meant Holy Soul Grass should be in the forest!

Jerry found Da Ming and asked about Holy Soul Grass! Da Ming told Jerry that the Holy Soul Grass was now in the Spirit Attribute Area! It had already reached Ten Thousand Years!

The Ten Thousand Year Holy Soul Grass had high intelligence, likely because its soul was inherently powerful! Jerry discovered that the Soul Beasts in the Spirit Attribute Area all possessed very strong Soul Force! Once Soul Force became powerful, Spiritual Power also became powerful. Jerry had previously believed Soul Force and Spiritual Power were the same thing, but that was wrong. It was only that the stronger one's Soul Force was, the stronger one's Spiritual Power became. They were directly proportional. Only after Jerry's Spiritual Power broke through did he discover the difference between them. The essence of living beings was centered on the soul, while Spiritual Power was merely a type of energy through which the soul controlled all of a creature's actions!

He had previously thought it was his Spiritual Power that had broken through, but in truth, it was his Soul Force that had broken through, bringing an increase in his Spiritual Power along with it!

Jerry divided Soul Force into three levels. At the first level, Spiritual Power could only control one's own actions; at the second level, Spiritual Power could be released outward; at the third level, Spiritual Power could manipulate objects! Jerry did not know whether there would be a fourth level as the soul grew stronger. After all, such improvement was too difficult. Without a cultivation method for Spiritual Power, he could only rely on fate. His previous Spiritual Power breakthrough had come from his Martial Soul Evolution and absorbing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Now that his Soul Power Seed had reached its limit, he did not know whether it could evolve again in the future. Even if it could, the amount of Soul Power required would be far, far too great!
