Originally, he could only lock onto a single target.
After fusing with the Wisdom Skull, his spiritual power could remember dozens of life auras simultaneously.
Even if a target concealed their Soul Power or entered a separate space, the lock would not disappear immediately.
His Soul Power also continued to rise.
Rank fifty-two.
Rank fifty-three.
Rank fifty-four.
The silvery-white light gradually receded.
The Wisdom Skull fully merged into his Sea of Consciousness.
Chen Jin did not stop cultivating.
Earthfire energy poured continuously into his Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Martial Soul.
The essence left behind by the Blue Silver Emperor also continued to be refined within his meridians.
Rank fifty-five.
Rank fifty-six.
Time passed slowly.
Outside the cultivation chamber, the maple leaves turned from red to yellow.
Huo Wu came to the stone door every day.
A food box sat beside it.
The food inside was never taken.
In the second month, Qian Renxue also came to Blazing Fire Academy.
The blonde woman stood outside the stone door.
"He still hasn't come out?"
"No."
Huo Wu sat nearby.
"What are you here for?"
"To see him."
"The stone door's shut. You can't see him."
"I can wait."
Qian Renxue did not leave.
Her white-and-gold dress spread across the stone steps.
The two women sat several paces apart.
After a long while, Huo Wu looked over first.
"Did it hurt that night?"
Qian Renxue's fingers paused on her skirt.
"Why are you asking that?"
"Just asking."
"If you want to know, try it yourself."
"I'll try it sooner or later."
A little more amusement appeared in her golden eyes.
"Do you need me to teach you?"
"Who needs you to teach me?"
A fluctuation of Soul Power suddenly came from behind the stone door.
Nine-colored light shone through the gap around it.
