Reincarnation of the Hero
Ch.106 - Soul Lightning
The next day, Xiang Yang opened his eyes and stood up to stretch his body.
"Well, it's time to continue the journey!" Xiang Yang immediately shot back south.
Xiang Yang did not fly because it consumed too much Qi energy, so Xiang Yang moved as usual, jumping from one tree to another, but at a higher speed.
After the sun rose 60°, Xiang Yang landed on the ground, in front of Xiang Yang was seen a very swift waterfall.
"I think this is the place!" Xiang Yang jumped into the waterfall, piercing through the swift of the waterfall.
Xiang Yang landed behind a waterfall where there was a cave there. Xiang Yang was not at all wet as he protected his body with Qi energy.
Xiang Yang made a fireball as lighting, then walked casually into the cave.
After a few minutes Xiang Yang stopped his steps because in front of a steep cliff tens of meters deep.
Xiang Yang made a few fireballs then threw an eighth to expand his visibility as well to see what the cave was like.
The shape in the cave is irregular, many high rocks are also cliffs on various sides, there is no road that can be passed casually.
However that was not an obstacle for Xiang Yang. He jumped through cliffs on a stalagmite footing and occasionally held on to stalactites.
About 1 kilometer in front is across the cliff where there is a hallway. Vaguely Xiang Yang could see the light within the passageway.
Xiang Yang moved faster and faster until he finally arrived across.
Sure enough, inside the hallway was quite bright because there were stalactites that emitted light.
Xiang Yang continued on his way.
For nearly half an hour, Xiang Yang stopped his steps while already at the edge of a lake with a diameter of several hundred meters. Big enough indeed.
The lake had a clear blue water that was very beautiful, as if it was the most holy water that could instantly relieve fatigue after drinking it.
"Hm, it should be inside this lake, but somehow I can feel the powerful energy fluctuations inside this lake!" Xiang Yang was intending to jump into the lake, but he undoed his intention of seeing in the middle of the lake an unusual water turmoil.
The water churned the higher it made Xiang Yang put on an alert attitude, the fluctuations of energy he felt were getting more intense.
*Bruuuss...!
Until finally something came out of the lake water.
Xiang Yang widened his eyes when he saw a dragon snake with a body formed from lightning.
"Truly incredible, the Lightning Soul that already had a form, moreover had its own spiritual awareness, even though it was extremely thin!" A wide smile adorned the young man's lips, he had not expected to see the lightning dragon "Heheh, this is my lucky day, who would have thought that the Lightning Soul shards that were previously placed in this place by Xiao Chong would be able to develop to this point.
Xiang Yang thought it should be like this, because the lightning soul was put inside this lake about 100 thousand years ago.
Indeed, in his escape, Xiao Chong spread his precious treasures in various places he had visited.
Xiao Chong used to live long enough in the Lingwu Continent so he could hide many treasures in various places.
Yang Xiang Yang was looking for in the Purple Sky Sect was also one of the things that Xiao Chong had left behind.
"Roaadrrhhh...!!" The dragon-shaped Lightning Soul roared loudly, issuing a bolt of lightning from its mouth.
Xiang Yang hurriedly jumped to the side to dodge.
The lightning strike finally hit the ground making a loud explosion to form a large crater.
"Heheh, with my current cultivation will indeed not be able to subdue you, yet I have a secret weapon!" Xiang Yang grinned then took out a jade as big as a big toe.
"It's a good thing that Xiao Chong left a seal inside this Lightning Soul, otherwise I'm not sure I can defeat him so easily!" Xiang Yang poured Qi energy into the jade in his hand, activating the seal on that Lightning Soul.
Instantly the chains shot out from the body of the Lightning Soul, shackling its entire body to the point of being unable to move.
Lightning's soul continued to roar loudly, continuing to thrash but in vain, his efforts were in vain.
Xiang Yang raised the jade in his hand towards the Lightning Soul. A moment later, the jade took out a chain that pulled the Lightning Soul into the jade.
The jade now emitted flashes of lightning after sealing the Lightning Soul.
"I finally got it!" Xiang Yang smiled happily "For now I am too weak to absorb this Lightning Soul, so I will absorb it later!"
The Soul Lightning was arguably the Core of Fire but in a version of the lightning element.
Lightning souls can be instilled inside the body of a cultivator, allowing them to use the power of lightning even if they do not have the spiritual root of lightning.
Unlike when absorbing the Blazing-Frozen Flame Core, which although Xiang Yang's cultivation was very low but because the energy in his body had a match, Xiang Yang could easily absorb the Blazing-Frozen Flame Core. However this time was different, although Xiang Yang could use the lightning element by changing Yang energy, he was not sure that the Lightning Soul would not put up such a resistance when absorbing the Blazing-Frozen Flame Core.
"Now just look for the other 4 Lightning Soul shards!"
Xiang Yang found in Xiao Chong's records that the Lightning Soul was actually very strong, arguably even stronger than Xiang Yang's Blazing-Frozen Flame Core.
Xiao Chong was unable to subdue that Lightning Soul, even sometimes having difficulty controlling it was because that was why he broke that Lightning Soul into 5 pieces.
Yang Xiang Yang obtained it was only one of his 5 shards, yet it was already extremely powerful.
If Xiang Yang could gather all 5 Lightning Soul shards, then fuse them together and absorb them, it would definitely be quite incredible.
Thinking about it made Xiang Yang even more excited.
But one thing that made Xiang Yang less certain was that, the Lightning Soul was extremely powerful, the Lightning Soul was unable to be controlled by Xiao Chong, what else now that the shards had already become so powerful after 100 thousand years, if the five shards were to be put back together, what would its strength be like? Is Xiang Yang able to conquer that Lightning Soul?
"Have it, there's no need to think about it for now, I'll head straight to the next place!"
Xiang Yang came out of the cave.
***
After coming out of the cave behind the waterfall, Xiang Yang again darted south.
Xiang Yang entered the forest, but there were no Spirit Beasts there, there were only a few ferocious beasts that did not even dare to approach Xiang Yang.
The next day, almost in the afternoon, Xiang Yang still continued to move, he did not rest at all because he would soon arrive at the place he was headed.
Xiang Yang suddenly stopped his steps, he saw a side where a few hundred meters to the right was a river with a torrent.
But that was not the concern of Xiang Yang, but rather the body figure that was washed away in the midst of the swift water of the river.
Xiang Yang's forehead frowned because he seemed to know the person from his brown hair.
"He's..."
