Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1236 - 23: The Debt-ridden Venerable’s Fighting Spirit—Did the Soul Test Bug Out? (11,000) (Part 3)

The deep voice of the Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate echoed in the palace.

He extended his slender fingers, where a strand of purple light bloomed at the fingertips, slowly infusing into the core of the puppet.

In an instant, the puppet's runes flickered more violently, the internal mechanical structure began to accelerate, but then came a sudden stutter. The Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate frowned slightly, murmuring to himself: "It seems the path of the Original Rules still needs adjustment."

He once again immersed himself in the improvements of the puppet, as if the entire world had faded away, leaving only him and this yet-unfinished masterpiece, oblivious to the shifting winds of the outside, with a sole focus on endowing this Mechanical Puppet with true life and power.

"This guy." Zhao Xing watched for a while, noticing how different the Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate's aura was compared to when he first saw him at the Dragon Court.

Back then, after refining the bones of the Great Dragon King, he undertook a simple Dragon King trial, and soon he would assume the position of Sect Master, full of vigor and ambition.

Now, the aura of the Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate resembled a restrained volcano, filled with a fiery anger, towards the world, discontent with fate.

But he had no outlet for it, except in crafting mechanisms and practicing the Array.

"Chen Ju, Yu Feiyang, neither of them possess such fighting spirit." Zhao Xing glanced at Chen Ju and Yu Feiyang, who were also researching in the seventh palace.

Both of them were relatively calm, exuding a sense of relaxation, occasionally taking breaks.

"For over fifty years, focusing on one thing, and still maintaining enough passion for the Mechanism day after day, it's only the Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate who can do that."

"Keep going, Debt-ridden Venerable."

Even Mr. Zhao couldn't help but cheer for him.

So ambitious! He really liked people like that.

In any case, if the Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate could obtain the legacy, he would be his own person, and must cooperate with him to fight the Southern Barbarians, regardless of who gets it.

Aside from positions, Zhao Xing also hoped someone like Purple Bone would gain the legacy. Because Purple Bone was more hardworking than Chen Ju and Yu Feiyang.

"Yu Feiyang is from the royal family, Chen Ju is the Junior Director of the Peace Faction, neither has much pressure, they might think they are working hard, but compared to Purple Bone, their efforts are negligible."

Zhao Xing greatly admired such talent as the Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate.

"I hope when Purple Bone makes the final choice, he won't give up and will stand on my side."

If Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate gave up, the legacy would go to the second place in line.

"This fighting spirit is reflected in his essence, energy, and spirit, visibly different."

"Phew~ I can't keep watching, it's starting to make me feel ashamed."

"If he really succeeds, I hope he can let go of past grudges."

It was he who pushed Purple Bone to bankruptcy back then, but discussing this now is premature.

Currently, the Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate was leading, but still just leading, everything remained unknown.

"Yanshen Stele!"

Zhao Xing appeared before the Yanshen Stele.

"The first challenge of the Soul Path legacy is similar to the other two paths, requiring creating a Secret Technique with the Life Soul, making the attack reach the ultimate level to break through the Magic Wall."

"The Soul Ultimate Law is much more difficult than the other two paths."

The soul legacy, any profession could come, there were many who came to try the soul legacy.

However, in the same time span, for the Qing Yu Zi legacy, over a hundred people passed the second gate, and for the Mechanical Master legacy, over sixty people.

But for the Soul Path, only eight entered the second gate.

Of course, these eight had entered long ago.

Obviously, the polarization in the Soul Path was more severe.

"Shattering Star!"

Zhao Xing attempted it, deploying the highest-level Secret Technique from the second layer of the Derivation God Decision—"Shattering Star".

Bang~

Seven soul stars appeared before the Yanshen Stele.

"Go!"

The seven soul stars collided towards one point, exploding instantly at the moment of impact.

The power of seven layers stacked together, Zhao Xing had once used this move to break the rule protection in Wu Yuan's mind.

"Boom!"

The Yanshen Stele remained completely unmoved, leaving no trace even after the explosion.

"This is the difficulty of the soul challenge." Zhao Xing took a deep breath, his head slightly dizzy, "Consuming Soul Power, there is no way to repeatedly attempt, you must spend time recovering after trying once."

His soul attack did not reach the ultimate skill level.

"The enhancement to Secret Techniques with Life Soul by a Seventh-tier Three Lights Divine Water Domain is very small."

The original rule perception brought by the Tian Qi Soul Device still couldn't enhance Life Dao or Soul Dao.

"It's a completely different path." Zhao Xing honestly comprehended.

"In comprehending the Yanshen Stele, I still have an advantage, I have already perfected the second layer, with 500,000 Split Souls."

"My previous cultivation speed was also very fast, breaking records."

Buzz~

Shadows floated out from Zhao Xing's body, and in the blink of an eye, the area in front of the Yanshen Stele was filled with souls.

The fact was indeed as Zhao Xing predicted.

In just two and a half months, he entered the [Enlightenment Realm] in the Yanshen Stele.

Being able to enter the Enlightenment Realm symbolized attainment in comprehension.

Buzz~

Five hundred thousand of Zhao Xing arrived beneath a starry sky.

"These are Life Soul Stars."

"While training in the first layer at the Star Palace, there were only seven Secret Pattern Stars, but here there are countless Secret Pattern Stars."

"Every Life Soul Star attracts me, as if they all contain infinite Daoist law principles."

Having endless choices is not necessarily a good thing.

He had 500,000 Split Souls, yet there were infinitely many Life Soul Stars!

"The third layer of Derivation God Decision values quality over quantity, collect!"

Zhao Xing's Split Souls kept flying back, merging with the main body.

As Zhao Xing kept recalling, the number of stars around him also decreased accordingly!
