Awakening Past-Life Wisdom, Heavenly Soul Realm!
The moment Xiao Lin fainted, countless fragments of past memories surged into his mind.
Those memory fragments included not only the twenty-odd years of this life, but also memories from his previous life!
That was right. Under the immense grief caused by his wife's death, Xiao Lin's once-obscured memories of his previous life awakened at this moment.
He was not originally from this world, but from Blue Star.
After closing his eyes one day and never opening them again, he had transmigrated into this world.
Because he had transmigrated from within his mother's womb, his memories from his previous life had not awakened during his early years.
All this time, Xiao Lin had considered himself a person of this world.
Had his wife's death not shocked him so deeply today, perhaps he would never have awakened the memories of his previous life.
In Buddhist terms, the earlier Xiao Lin had been clouded by worldly dust, while he had now awakened his Past-Life Wisdom!
However, for Xiao Lin, the price of awakening his Past-Life Wisdom was far too great.
If he could, he truly wished he had never awakened it!
But there were no ifs.
Moreover, as Xiao Lin awakened his Past-Life Wisdom, a terrifying force of soul power suddenly erupted from his body before he fainted, sweeping across the entire imperial capital of the Jia Ma Empire.
That was the result of Xiao Lin awakening his Past-Life Wisdom and merging with everything from his previous life, even his soul!
When the soul power Xiao Lin unconsciously released swept across the entire Gama Imperial Capital, countless people were shocked.
Inside the imperial palace of the Jia Ma Empire, a Victory Banquet was originally being held to celebrate their triumph over the Cloud Empire.
However, the instant Xiao Lin's unconsciously released soul power swept across the imperial capital, every expert at the Dou Wang Realm or above broke out in cold sweat.
As for those below the Dou Wang Realm, including Dou Ling Realm experts, perhaps because the gap between them and that soul power was simply too great, they were not greatly affected. They merely felt as though a cold wind had suddenly blown past them.
But the experts at the Dou Wang Realm and above had all turned pale.
"What exactly is this power? Could an expert above the Dou Zong Realm have come to the Jia Ma Empire? That shouldn't be possible. Why would such an expert be drawn to this barren Northwest Continent?"
Jia Xing Tian, the guardian of the Jia Ma Empire, suddenly spread his Dou Qi Wings and flew into the air. His expression was uncertain.
At present, Jia Xing Tian was only a Five-Star Battle Emperor, still far from the Nine-Star Dou Emperor level he would reach in the original story.
Even so, he could still sense that the power released just now had reached at least the Dou Zong Realm.
One had to know that the Jia Ma Empire currently had no Dou Zong experts, only several Dou Emperors.
If an expert of that level came to the Jia Ma Empire intending to do something, they would have no way to stop him!
That was why Jia Xing Tian looked so deeply worried.
"It seems this power has nothing to do with your royal house."
At that moment, a voice sounded behind Jia Xing Tian.
When Jia Xing Tian turned around, he saw Yun Shan, the sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect. Having also been alarmed by the soul power Xiao Lin unconsciously released, Yun Shan had flown all the way from Misty Cloud Mountain to the Gama Imperial Palace in search of answers.
Yet although he had confirmed that the source of this power had nothing to do with the Jia Ma Royal House, Yun Shan's expression remained grim.
After all, if such an expert appeared in the Jia Ma Empire, it would not only affect the interests of the Jia Ma Royal House. The Misty Cloud Sect would also be affected.
The current Yun Shan was only a Seven-Star Dou Emperor.
Forget him alone—even if he joined forces with Jia Xing Tian, they would still be no match for that power!
"If Sect Leader Yun Shan puts it that way, then this power should have nothing to do with your Misty Cloud Sect either, correct?"
Though it was phrased as a question, Jia Xing Tian had already received his answer from Yun Shan's expression.
In recent years, there had actually been some minor friction between the Misty Cloud Sect and the Jia Ma Royal House.
Of course, that was only natural.
The Misty Cloud Sect had always stood apart within the Jia Ma Empire. Even if it had no intention of causing trouble, how could the Jia Ma Royal House, as the ruler of the Jia Ma Empire, possibly feel at ease with such a colossal force?
For the Jia Ma Royal House, it did not matter whether you intended to rebel. What mattered was whether you were capable of rebelling!
After all, if the Misty Cloud Sect truly wanted to rebel, the Jia Ma Royal House alone would never be able to stop it.
And that was with the Misty Cloud Sect having declined greatly in strength over recent years.
If it were the Misty Cloud Sect of old, it would not be an exaggeration to say that even if every remaining force in the Jia Ma Empire joined hands, they still would not be enough to challenge it!
Unfortunately, for certain reasons, much of the Misty Cloud Sect's inheritance had already been lost.
It was precisely because the Misty Cloud Sect had weakened that the Jia Ma Royal House now had some thoughts of its own.
In truth, if the Misty Cloud Sect's inheritance had not been severed in the past, the Jia Ma Royal House would never have dared to offend it.
Unlike now, when the Misty Cloud Sect was only slightly stronger than the Jia Ma Royal House.
With such a balance of strength, once one side no longer held an absolute advantage, the other side would naturally begin to have ideas.
That was the current relationship between the Misty Cloud Sect and the Jia Ma Royal House.
The Misty Cloud Sect did not wish to be controlled by the Jia Ma Royal House, while the Jia Ma Royal House could not tolerate the Misty Cloud Sect's detached status within the Jia Ma Empire.
Of course, although there was some minor friction between them, it would not go so far as to make them destroy one another!
They were not fools.
The Jia Ma Empire was not particularly powerful among the nations of the Northwest Continent to begin with. If internal conflict crippled one side, the surrounding empires would probably tear them apart in no time.
Returning to the matter at hand, after Jia Xing Tian spoke, Yun Shan also fell silent.
No one knew how long he remained silent before Yun Shan finally spoke again.
"Right now, we do not know whether that mysterious expert merely happened to pass through the Jia Ma Empire or has some other purpose. I suggest that for the time being, our two sides join forces to deal with this situation. What do you think?"
Before enduring the long torment of being stuck at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Emperor Realm as in the original story, Yun Shan still possessed the bearing of a true grandmaster.
At the very least, he currently only wished to develop the Misty Cloud Sect and improve his own strength. He had no other intentions.
Since the Misty Cloud Sect was located within the Jia Ma Empire, he was naturally willing to contribute to the Jia Ma Empire as well!
"Fine. I have no objections."
Jia Xing Tian answered Yun Shan's proposal without hesitation.
Clearly, he had been thinking the same thing.
After discussing a few more matters, the two men departed separately.
Aside from Jia Xing Tian and Yun Shan, many others had also been alarmed that night.
Within the Mite'er Family, Hai Bodong, now a Nine-Star Battle King, looked up at the night sky. Whatever he thought of, he decisively chose to enter seclusion.
Before doing so, he calmly issued his instructions.
"Tengshan, I will be entering seclusion to break through to the Dou Emperor Realm for a while. Leave all family matters to you."
That was the last sentence Hai Bodong left behind before entering seclusion.
After being stirred by that terrifying soul power today, Hai Bodong only wanted to increase his strength as quickly as possible.
Even a Dou Emperor would still be insignificant compared to that power, but every bit of additional strength gave him a little more confidence to resist, did it not?
"Yes, Elder Hai. I will certainly manage the family properly and ensure that no mistakes occur!"
When Mittel Tengshan learned that Hai Bodong was entering seclusion to break through to the Dou Emperor Realm, he was extremely excited.
After all, once Hai Bodong became a Dou Emperor, the Mite'er Family would become the third force in the Jia Ma Empire to possess Dou Emperor-level combat power.
That was a completely different matter from their current standing!
The Mu Family, which had once stood alongside the Mite'er Family, would henceforth only be able to look to them for favor.
What two great families of the Jia Ma Empire? Was the Mu Family even worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as the Mite'er Family?
Thinking of this, Mittel Tengshan became incomparably excited.
He could practically see that day arriving.
Elsewhere, after attending the Victory Banquet held in the Gama Imperial Palace today, Mo Ya, the patriarch of the Mu Family, returned to his clan and became incomparably violent.
"Damn it! Foolish ruler, foolish ruler! My Mu Family has done so much for the empire, yet he refuses to give me even a High-Grade Black-Tier Cultivation Technique. Since that is the case, I can only seek one from another country."
As he smashed things inside his family's secret chamber and roared, Mo Ya's face had become somewhat hideous.
He had been stuck at the Six-Star Battle King Realm for many years, unable to make any further progress.
In Mo Ya's view, this was because the cultivation technique practiced by the Mu Family was of too low a grade, merely middle-grade Profound Rank.
Within the entire Jia Ma Empire, the only forces possessing High-Grade Black-Tier Cultivation Techniques were the Misty Cloud Sect, the Jia Ma Royal House, and Hai Bodong, who had somehow obtained one several years ago.
Originally, the Mite'er Family and the Mu Family had been roughly equal in strength.
But after Hai Bodong obtained a High-Grade Black-Tier Cultivation Technique, Mo Ya's strength had gradually been left behind by Hai Bodong.
Now, Mo Ya remained stuck at the Six-Star Battle King Realm, while Hai Bodong was about to break through to the Dou Emperor Realm!
How could Mo Ya possibly endure that?
Thus, using his contribution in leading the Jia Ma Empire to victory over the Cloud Empire, Mo Ya had asked the emperor of the Jia Ma Empire for a High-Grade Black-Tier Cultivation Technique.
However, the Jia Ma Royal House possessed only one High-Grade Black-Tier Cultivation Technique, and it was the one cultivated by the royal family itself. How could they possibly give it to the Mu Family?
Therefore, the emperor of Gama naturally refused.
Still, the emperor of Gama was willing to give the Mu Family a High-Grade Black-Tier Battle Technique.
But what use was a battle technique to Mo Ya, whose cultivation realm was stuck?
It could not help him break through!
Although a High-Grade Black-Tier Cultivation Technique and a High-Grade Black-Tier Battle Technique differed by only two words, the gap between them was at least threefold in value, if not greater.
How could Mo Ya be satisfied with merely obtaining a High-Grade Black-Tier Battle Technique?
Thus, another idea had already arisen in his heart.
Especially after he had been stirred by the soul fluctuations Xiao Lin unconsciously released that night, he naturally became even more extreme!
That night, every faction within the Gama Imperial Capital was gripped by fear and unease.
Meanwhile, Xiao Lin, the instigator behind it all, had already regained consciousness in the early hours of the morning.
At the same time, he learned that the shock of his wife's death had not only awakened his Past-Life Wisdom, but also granted him a Heavenly Soul Realm soul!
It was precisely because the power fluctuations from Xiao Lin's Heavenly Realm Soul Power had spread out earlier that all the various factions had been thrown into turmoil.
