Primordial Divine Emperor-Chapter 62 - 59: Primordial Martial Soul, the Mysterious Elder Who Could Shake the Heavens
In the remote corner of the Library Pavilion.
Ye Xiaofan stood there dumbfounded. Although he didn’t find any record of a Martial Soul that completely matched his own, the information he read was like a thunderbolt, making it hard for him to believe in his Martial Soul.
Only after a while did he regain his senses and carefully picked up the yellowed ancient book from the ground, gently dusted off the cover, held his breath, and began reading it word for word.
As he read, Ye Xiaofan’s breathing became increasingly rapid.
Indeed, he didn’t find any ancient record that matched his Martial Soul, but the contents of this book specifically documenting terrifying Martial Souls were astonishing.
The Martial Souls recorded in this ancient book were all exceedingly rare and terrifying ones throughout the endless ages of the Martial Soul Continent. If one had to assign a level to these Martial Souls, it would be—Forbidden!
"Forbidden Martial Soul."
Ye Xiaofan slowly flipped through the book in his hand, his expression changing repeatedly.
Before long, he had skimmed through the entire book.
According to the book’s descriptions, Martial Soul Continent’s soul levels can roughly be divided into: Spirit Tier Martial Soul, Celestial Tier Martial Soul, Saint Tier Martial Soul, Divine Level Martial Soul, and Sixth Grade Forbidden Martial Soul.
Among them, Spirit Tier Martial Souls are further divided into ten levels. For instance, Ye Xiaotian’s Level Nine Nine-headed Flood Dragon is a Level Nine Spirit Tier Martial Soul and can sense nine types of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Throughout the Martial Soul Continent, ninety-nine percent of cultivators awaken with Spirit Tier Martial Souls, even Low Level Spirit Tier Martial Souls. Once a Martial Soul surpasses Level Five Spirit Tier and beyond, it means having the potential to become a powerful figure, standing above countless cultivators.
For example, Ye Xiaotian, with a Level Nine Spirit Tier Martial Soul, far exceeds Level Five Spirit Tier, with even more terrifying potential for the future, already reaching the threshold of ’transformation’. He will, at the very least, become a lord, and if he obtains a great opportunity, becoming a Saint Master is not impossible.
Above the Spirit Tier is the Celestial Tier, which is similarly divided into ten levels. A Level One Celestial Tier can sense eleven types of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and so on. A Full Level Celestial Tier ultimately reaches Level Ten, capable of sensing twenty types of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
For instance, Sword Saint Dugu Nan is a Level Ten Celestial Tier Martial Soul. Talisman Saint Qi Yun once said that Dugu Nan can sense twenty kinds of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, making him a Full Level Celestial Tier Martial Soul.
Moreover, even if a Celestial Tier Martial Soul can only sense eleven types of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi (Level One Celestial Tier Martial Soul), as long as it does not perish, it is destined to achieve sanctity and become a Saint Master. Beyond Level Five Celestial Tier hopes to become the King of Saint Masters, an Eternal Saint King.
Those capable of awakening a Celestial Tier Martial Soul are exceedingly rare.
Even in the vast Hundred Broken Mountain Range, where the population is in the billions, fewer than a thousand are born each year, snatched up by major super sects.
Naturally, Ye Xiaofan’s generation was an exception. With talented individuals emerging, everything appeared extraordinary. Even a small Star Moon City produced three great suspected Celestial Tier individuals that year: Nangong Jianchen, Shangguan Wan’Er, and Xiao Yan.
Though these three have never revealed their Martial Souls, at the very least they have certainly reached the Celestial Tier, potentially even possessing High Level Celestial Tier Martial Souls or more terrifying existences.
Above Celestial Tier Martial Souls are the Saint Tier Martial Souls. Above Saint Tier are the Divine Level Martial Souls, both divided into five levels.
A Level One Saint Tier can sense twenty-one types of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and a Level Five can sense twenty-five kinds; the further one progresses, the more dominant and terrifying the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi that can be sensed.
Divine Level Martial Souls can sense from twenty-six to thirty types of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Even the least of the Divine Level Martial Souls will become a Divine King, potentially ranking among the Divine Emperors, meaning—Human Emperor!
It is said that a Level Five Divine Level Martial Soul exists with the ability to manifest as a Great Emperor, possessing the resources to challenge the Emperor Realm. Even if not entering the Emperor Position, one would still be bold enough to defy the Great Emperor.
Above the Divine Level Martial Soul is the exceedingly rare and unattainable Forbidden Martial Soul.
Ye Xiaofan stared at the book in his hand, feeling a chill running down his spine. The term "Forbidden" was too astonishing.
However, as Ye Xiaofan was immersed in shock, an elderly voice sounded slowly from behind him.
"The Forbidden Martial Soul is the most terrifying Martial Soul in this world, considered by the world as one of the Six Eternal Soul Types, young man. Such a cosmic Martial Soul might not appear even in endless ages. What use is there for you to look it up?"
Ye Xiaofan started at the voice, hurriedly turning around, only to see an elderly man, simply dressed and already old, standing not far behind him, as if hidden among the bookshelves.
"Disciple of South Peak, Ye Xiaofan, pays respect to the elder." Ye Xiaofan, upon seeing the elder, immediately bowed, yet his face still held a tinge of shock that had not completely faded.
The shock naturally concerned the record of the Forbidden Martial Soul.
The elderly man wore a sect robe, though worn out, indicative of the Divine Sword Sect, giving off a sense of time’s lingering traces.
"Disciple of South Peak?" The elder nodded slightly upon hearing the words, eyeing Ye Xiaofan and saying, "So, you are Nan’Er’s chosen successor?"
Ye Xiaofan raised his head astonished, realizing that the "Nan’Er" the elder referred to was likely Sword Saint Dugu Nan. Yet the man before him could address the Divine Sword Sect’s Sword Saint as Nan’Er, implying a status and identity unfathomably terrifying. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
It’s worth noting that even the current sect leader of the Divine Sword Sect must address Dugu Nan as Sword Saint Brother, and yet a entire generation of Sword Saints was instantly demoted in the elder’s words.
This world is not one that values rank but respects strength. To dare address the contemporary Sword Saint as such, one must either be an unparalleled powerhouse or the Sword Saint’s teacher.
