Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1171 - 13: Soul Device of the Original Rules? The Sith Clan’s Earth-Shattering Secret! (11,000)
As the Resident Ambassador, when has Zhang Ning ever seen the Beitu King so respectful?
Yet such a figure, at this moment, also lowered his proud head.
Although there were reasons related to the Great Zhou’s powerful national strength, more importantly, Zhao Xing displayed astonishing strength and courage.
"Beitu King, please rise quickly." Zhao Xing smiled and waved him up gently, "It’s all because the Sith Clan is too cunning!"
"Thank you, Holy Envoy, for your understanding." The Beitu King secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Sith Country dares to disregard the majesty of my Great Zhou and dare to invade our vassal state, their crime is heinous!" Zhao Xing declared. "Beitu King, this time I am here on the order of His Majesty to act on your behalf and eradicate the Sith Country."
"Please, Holy Envoy, give your orders. As long as you give the command, Beitu Country will surely go through fire and water!"
...
After settling with the Beitu King, the alliance of the four countries began their preparations in full swing.
Zhao Xing’s true self returned to the Divine Residence Warship to begin studying Wu Yuan’s Life Soul.
"This Wu Yuan is indeed peculiar."
In his palm, Wu Yuan’s Life Soul contained a tiny black rhombus-shaped object.
It pulsed with the contractions and expansions of Wu Yuan’s Life Soul, flowing in its core.
After closely observing for a few days, Zhao Xing’s pupils constricted.
"An artificially crafted Original Soul Crystal?"
"It really is something beyond its version; this must be an extraterrestrial thing!"
What is an Original Soul Crystal?
Soul Crystals are a common material used in Soul Devices, which can be integrated into a Life Soul.
An Original Soul Crystal, however, incorporates fragments of the Original Rules from a small world into the Soul Crystal.
The piece within Wu Yuan’s Life Soul was a ’Dark Type Rule Original Fragment’ that had been extracted.
A small fragment can directly grant someone a Rule Domain!
The Xuanhuang Realm couldn’t possibly produce such a thing!
"No wonder his spell techniques are mediocre, yet he can manifest a third-tier Dark Rule Domain." Zhao Xing suddenly understood.
It was clearly not Wu Yuan’s own ability.
Of course, if Wu Yuan continued to contain the Original Soul Crystal, provided he wasn’t entirely foolish, he would eventually comprehend the Rule Domain.
"Such an item is used by elite disciples of major cosmic forces to cultivate their descendants. The current Mechanical Master profession cannot craft such a Soul Device."
"Indeed, the Sith Clan has obtained treasures from beyond the heavens."
As Zhao Xing looked at the black rhombus-shaped Soul Crystal, he magnified his vision and discovered a very tiny pattern made of secret runes on its surface.
"I’ve never seen this emblem before." Zhao Xing recalled memories from his past life but found no corresponding power.
However, that’s normal. The universe is vast, expansive, and varied, with worlds like the Xuanhuang Realm... The place is too vast to easily recognize like in the Xuanhuang Realm.
He could inadvertently acquire a seed of the Cloud-climbing Vine, so it’s normal for the Xuanhuang Realm to have some secret treasures from beyond the heavens too.
Of course, in the current era of spiritual energy depletion, even if there are items from the cosmic version, they might be hard to find or might not reveal their full potential.
The quality Original Soul Crystals can allow someone to surpass the Establishing Tao Realm!
But if one remains in the Xuanhuang Realm, even a complete, high-quality Original Soul Crystal cannot be cultivated.
Against the Original Rule powers of an entire world, the Original Soul Crystal cannot break the Heaven and Earth Rules of the Xuanhuang Realm.
"The Great Venerable Dius of the Sith Clan must have many; otherwise, it’s impossible to mass cultivate."
"He might even be of the regular Rule Realm!"
"This warrants a nation-destroying war." Zhao Xing was somewhat excited. "However, I need more evidence, otherwise, deploying the military would make it difficult for Emperor Wu."
For now, it’s only his speculation, without evidence, there’s no persuasiveness.
"First step, separate this Dark Type Original Soul Crystal Fragment; generally, such good items have unique restrictions, I must first control Wu Yuan’s soul."
Soul Crystals are very fragile; any mistake could cause the fragment to be influenced by the Heaven and Earth Rules of the Xuanhuang Realm and vanish directly.
"Secondly, I need to obtain Wu Yun’s memories to gather some useful information."
"With Soul Crystals and accurate information, mobilizing powerful military forces for conquest becomes straightforward."
The combined forces of just four vassal states can secure a decisive victory, eliminating Ulik the Venerable and expelling him from the vassal territories.
But to eradicate the Sith Country, it’s not that simple.
"Normally, I can acquire his memories from recent years by devouring Wu Yuan’s Life Soul with the Soul-devouring Dharma Body."
Zhao Xing summoned the Soul-devouring Dharma Body, opened its mouth, and a cold vortex appeared above Wu Yuan’s head.
"Ssssss~"
During the devouring, a glow emerged from Wu Yuan’s Life Soul to resist.
"It’s no good; this will cause it to collapse, the Life Soul to dismantle itself."
"To interrogate and extract the secrets of the Sith Clan, I can’t let him die."
Zhao Xing stopped devouring.
If he exerted a bit more force, Wu Yuan’s Life Soul would self-destruct, rendering everything futile.
"Such trouble, more bothersome than White Bone Soul Nails." Zhao Xing frowned; after all, it’s something from beyond a version, difficult to handle.
Whenever a sect’s core secret is involved, extracting intelligence is always a complicated matter.
Otherwise, with so many sect forces under the heaven, they would have vanished long ago, capturing one would lead to a whole series, uprooting them altogether.
"Got it!"
Zhao Xing suddenly thought of a method.
"I can feed Wu Yuan a Heavenly Soul Fruit."
"After consuming the Heavenly Soul Fruit, his Life Soul won’t completely disappear. With the Heavenly Soul Fruit produced by a precious-grade big tree, even encountering forces that disintegrate it to ’Yi’ won’t result in true death; it will automatically reconvene to the ’Xi’ state."
