Towards Eternity
Ch 673's. Soul King
Three days later passed.
Weng Lou was still sitting on the ground in a meditative state.
There was no movement at all from him as if he was a human-shaped statue. It didn't even seem like he was breathing at all.
Yet Weng Lou's nine previous lives were all just silently staring at him without the slightest worry.
As the minutes passed, suddenly a vortex appeared on the bottom of Weng Lou's stomach. The vortex was bright gold, the color of the Soul Power.
The vortex grew little by little, reaching as big as Weng Lou's body. Even so, there was no sensation of attraction caused by the vortex, as if the vortex was just a mere illusion that had no physical form.
"It's already begun," Weng Lou said his first life as he watched the vortex stop growing.
Within the Weng Lou Dantian, the Soul Lake that was just thirty kilometers wide a few days ago, had now exceeded fifty kilometers more and continued to grow at a very fast rate.
The vortex outside Weng Lou's body was connected to his Soul Lake which made the area of his Soul Lake continue to grow very quickly.
"He had long possessed the Soul Power of a Soul Ruler, when he reached the realm of true Soul Mastery, the amount of his Soul Power increased drastically which made the area of the Soul Lake within his Dantian continue to expand as the amount of Soul Power he possessed increased.
Supposedly he would be able to reach the Soul King stage if he was able to hold his Soul Lake in steady condition. But it won't be easy to achieve it, the damage to his soul won't let him easily," said Weng Lou of sixty-nine lives.
"It doesn't matter whether he directly becomes a Soul King or not, as long as he successfully ascends to the Soul Mastery realm, that's enough. We can help him ascend slowly inside this place without having to care about the outside world," Weng Lou replied to his fifteenth life calmly.
"Hmm.it turns out not a bad idea to make this place use the element of time. Fortunately the fifty-first life is reliable in using some time magic so as to make the time in this place run much faster than the outside world," praised Lou's forty-seventh life.
The fifty-first life just silently nodded in return.
"Yes, that way life will now be able to stabilize itself much more easily" said Weng Lou of ninety-ninth life.
While they were still conversing, Weng Lou's life was now in a critical condition where his Soul Lake finally reached ninety kilometers wide. The increase in breadth began to slow down.
When it reached an area of a hundred kilometers, the Soul Lake finally stopped growing.
The vortex outside Weng Lou's body also stopped spinning and shrank until it finally disappeared completely. The amount of Soul Power in Weng Lou stopped increasing.
At that moment, Weng Lou's body slowly let out an extremely dazzling golden light. He was like being baptized in that golden light. Cracks appeared all over his body as layers upon layers of transparency began to cover his entire body.
"He succeeded" said Weng Lou of his eighty-sixth life.
"No, not yet." Weng Lou's first life immediately shook his head.
Layer after layer was created on Weng Lou's body. That layer signified the Lake of Souls that Weng Lou had successfully created. When one reached the Soul Mastery realm and became a Soul Ruler, normally they would be able to create five layers.
These layers were created from the Soul Power that existed in the Soul Lake.
Since Weng Lou managed to create a hundred kilometer wide Soul Lake, then he would make ten layers of gold on his body. The more layers were created, the more difficult it was also to maintain the form of the dried up Soul Lake.
As the layers on Weng Lou's body reached the number ten, finally the rift on Weng Lou's body stopped. The ten layers were slowly absorbed by Weng Lou's entire body. One layer, two layers, three layers......
There was a golden radiance on both of his eyes when he caught a glance.
*Huff......* He let out a long sigh and then raised both of his hands.
Both of his hands were clenched. He could feel the power in him had reached a level he had never felt before.
"King of Souls.so this is the power of someone who can rule a region hundreds of kilometers meters away very easily. It's...really great." Weng Lou spoke calmly.
When his ascension process was complete, the damage to his soul finally stopped enlarging and appeared to slowly s.e.t.t by himself.
This was the power of a Soul King! Soul damage was just like a scuff wound to them.
"Not bad, at least you managed to survive a year in this place and managed to become a Soul King," Weng Lou said of his first life.
Weng Lou's life now turned to look at him, he nodded.
"Now we can enter into the next stage, which is to unseal all the bloodline power seals of your Divine Race, and form the Divine Core." Weng Lou's thirty-third life said in a serious tone.
The other eight previous lives of Weng Lou nodded.
Weng Lou's life was now shocked to hear it. "He-Hey.I just finished, at least give me some rest. My head hurts so much right now. Let's move on after I take a little nap, okay?"
Weng Lou's first life immediately shook his head, disapproving.
"We don't have time. In the outside world, time may only run for a few months, but three more years Unknown God will escape from the seal already made by me. We have at least nine years in the world to get you ready to fight it. At least you must have made it to the Absolute realm back then in order to use all the martial techniques we have created," explained Weng Lou of first life.
Yes, the person who sealed the Unknown God was none other than Weng Lou himself. He and Zhi Juan worked together to seal it in a fragment of dimension that no one occupied.
But due to the radiance of the power of the Unknown God, the region around the seal became extremely barren. That region was none other than the Life-Eating Desert.
At the end of the desert, there was the Fu Lin Forest region that became the true seal door that had been guarded by countless generations after generations. One of Weng Lou's former lives had strengthened the seal tens of thousands of years ago after trying to defeat the Unknown God but ended in a crushing defeat.
Now, the seal was starting to weaken and people could be intentionally included into the dimension where the Unknown God was sealed.
"I understand the situation, but I'm too tired. Even I had trouble keeping my mind awake at this moment. At least give me some time to sleep for a while, my body has reached its limit," Weng Lou said to life now.
Hearing that, Weng Lou's first life fell silent.
"Alright, rest then. You deserve it." Weng Lou's ninety-nine life suddenly spoke.
Weng Lou's life now quickly lay on the ground and closed his eyes. In just a matter of a few seconds, he had completely fallen asleep in his place.
Weng Lou's first life flashes. He turned his head to Weng Lou's ninety-ninth life, questioning his decision.
"It's okay, after all with nine lives like ours with him, we can make him reach the Deva realm within three years. After that, reaching the peak of the Deva realm and breaking through the Absolute realm was no big deal. The most important thing right now is his mentality. The power of the Divine Race bloodline on his body was already stable enough, yet it had yet to become a Divine Core, so it could go berserk at any moment. We need him to be in his prime condition as he begins to form the Divine Core," Weng Lou said of his ninety-ninth life.
"After all, a day or two is not a lot of time."
