Chapter 1352: The 7th Astral Soul


    Trantor: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire


    Cultivation knows not of the passing of time. In the blink of an eye, the deadline of a year had been reached. However, the Qin Wentian now was still in a state of total focus, he simply didn’t know of the passing of time. He has forgotten everything in the external world, and waspletely immersed.


    At this moment, he was still cultivating. Not far from him, the mysterious figure quietly lied there. It was unknown when he appeared. He was simply quietly staring at Qin Wentian.


    At this moment, destructivew energy flow frenziedly circted around Qin Wentian, akin to a long river of destruction, emitting churning noises. It continued permeating the area and Qin Wentian’s astral soul began to glow with destructive light. That halberd-shaped astral soul was emanating a fearsome destruction-attributew energy.


    His body shimmered with the runes of destruction, causing the nearby destructive energy to gather on his body. Under the light from his astral soul, Qin Wentian now resembled a god of destruction, evoking fear in the hearts of all who saw him.


    "Not bad." A voice rang out. Qin Wentian felt his heart tremble and his cultivation was directly interrupted. He opened his eyes, his heart was filled with unhappiness as he nced at the mysterious figure beside him. "Senior..."


    "Enough, although right now you can only be considered a half-step immortal king, I will temporarily let you pass the test. However, don’t be in a hurry to form yourw domain. You should firstprehend your otherw attributes. I will give you another year of time to do so and failure also means death." That mysterious figure spoke before disappearing again.


    Qin Wentian was directly stunned into speechlessness. He couldn’t help but to curse under his breath, "Bastard."


    "Who are you talking about?" A voice suddenly echoed out, causing Qin Wentian’s heart to shudder. He then speechlessly replied, "Senior, I was cursing at myself."


    "Mhm, although you are truly weak, you don’t have to be unduly humble to the point that you scold yourself. If you can live on, you can still make a living pretty well." That mysterious figure spoke sagely. Qin Wentian gritted his teeth when he heard that. This fellow... At the immortal king realm, even if he couldprehend his otherw attributes, there was no way it would be so easy for him to finish doing so within a year of time.


    Right now, Qin Wentian was already on the immortal king path, but he needed time for him to fully consolidate his step on it. The mysterious figure actually broke his concentration and said that he is a half-step immortal king, and forcibly woke him up from his contemtive state. He then gave him another year toprehend other attribute energies. How detestable.


    "Fine, I’ll show you what I’m capable of." Qin Wentian silently mused as he closed his eyes once more in cultivation. Three monthster, a powerful suppression aura gushed forth from him as the entire space was filled with an extremely tyrannical suppression might.


    At the fourth month, he finishedprehending his swordw attribute.


    At the halfway mark to the fifth month, he finishedprehending the demonw attribute.


    At halfway to the sixth month, he finished the dreamw attribute.


    At the sixth month mark, he finished the forcew attribute.


    For the next half year, he began to try his best and enter the immortal king realm fully. He started to form his body ofws. Once the body ofws are formed, one would be the central coreponent of their ownws, and they could turn into thews with just a thought.


    Just as Qin Wentian wanted to establish hisw domain, that mysterious figure appeared once more. Qin Wentian nced at that mysterious figure with some self-satisfaction and before he even said anything, Qin Wentian already spoke, "Senior, how are my achievements?"


    "Mhm, barely passable I guess. After you managed toprehend your firstw-attribute, the following ones would be much easier. Luckily you are not a block of wood, or it would have been to boring to leave you alive." That mysterious figure calmly spoke. Qin Wentian almost coughed out blood when he heard that. He put in so much effort and achieve it well within the time limit but in the perspective of the mysterious figure, it was merely barely passable?


    However, this undying freak’s judgement was pretty urate, able to see his current state and the method he used.


    It was true that once he managed toprehend his firstw attribute energy, the others were much easier inparison.


    Some immortal kings depended on a single type ofw-attribute energy to reach the immortal king realm. After that, they still needed a very long time to perfectly integrate and solidify their step into the immortal king realm. They first had to perfect theirprehensions of otherw attributes.


    "Next, you should be able to condense your 7th astral soul. You can choose whatever you want to, when your 7thw attribute is born, you should try to form differentw domains." That mysterious figure spoke. After that, he turned around and left again just like that. Qin Wentian waspletely speechless, this damnable bastard.


    Although he was silently cursing in his heart, Qin Wentian still followed his instructions. He continued to cultivate and opened up his 7th astral gate, and reached out with his perception to the nine heavenlyyers.


    In the boundless starry space, there were the nine heavenlyyers. Right now given how powerful Qin Wentian’s perception was, he broke through the barriers with ease and directly appeared in the 7th heavenlyyer. Although the pressure here was great, it wasn’t able to do anything to him. His previous astral soul was condensed from a constetion in the 8th heavenlyyer. Although he did so in a hurry, he did manage to seed. Since that was the case, his new astral soul now, would also have to be condensed from the 8th heavenlyyer.


    Bringing with him, his powerful will, Qin Wentian’s perception rushed up to the 8th heavenlyyer. The constetions here weren’t as many as theyers below, and they were all spaced extremely far apart from each other. The vast auras of these constetions were able to cause heaven and earth to crumble. And despite the vast distances, the Qin Wentian now could clearly sense theirw energy fluctuations as well asw domain of the constetions.


    It was as if as his cultivation base grew, his affinity with constetions would grow stronger. The higher his cultivation base, the easier it would be for him to discover the constetions within the nine heavenlyyers.


    This time around, Qin Wentian’s perception was able to roam the 8th heavenlyyer freely. Although the pressure was fearsome, he was able to endure it. He might not be able to go up to the 9th heavenlyyer for now, but he was able to freely choose his constetion in the 8thyer.


    The constetions here all emitted vast amounts ofw energy. Although after immortal-foundation, one’s astral souls would be congregated in their immortal-foundation and no longer appeared directly duringbat, in reality, a ster martial cultivator’s energy source all came from their astral souls. Without powerful astral souls, their potential would naturally be lowerpared to others.


    In addition, after entering the immortal king realm, powerful constetions would grant one powerfulw attributes. They were able to cause ster martial cultivators to gain a greater advantage duringbat.


    Qin Wentian’s perception roamed about the 8th heavenlyter and saw many powerful constetions. Finally, his perception halted before a constetion that was emitting an imposing and tyrannical aura as he contemted thew energy fluctuations.


    This was an ultimate demon constetion, the constetion itself was shaped like a powerful devil, exuding an imposing aura that would cause the multitude of living things to kneel down in submission.


    What was more terrifying is that this constetion still possessed the power of disintegration. Parts of the constetion were disintegrating one moment, and being fully recovered the next. It radiated an overwhelming amount of devilish energy.


    "I’ve cultivated devil path techniques and can be considered verypatible with this constetion. In addition, this constetion seems to contain dual attributes." Qin Wentian was now no longer a weakling, he had read many ancient text and his knowledge was iparable to before. He knew that there were some unique constetions that would give the cultivator two kinds ofw-attributes.


    Naturally strictly speaking, it couldn’t really be considered dual attributes. It was just that the attribute of the unique astral souls, would usually have a second function or ability which he would also gain after he condensed it.


    Also, right now Qin Wentian even knew that this kind of dual-attribute astral souls were more often seen in demon-type, devil-type and buddha-type constetions. After condensing an astral soul from these constetions, the cultivator would find themselves able to pursue either the demon, devil or buddha pathway. Other than that, there were still other unique abilities granted.


    "This terrifying devil constetion still has an additional ability of disintegration?" Qin Wentian mused. For the constetion before him, if he condensed an astral soul from it, other than giving him the innate condition ofprehending devilw energy, it would still bestow on him the power of disintegration.


    "Constetions from the 8thyer are truly tyrannical, it’s worth a try." Qin Wentian’s perception was already under great stress from the pressure. After confirming his choice, he hesitated no longer and sent his perception into one of the constetions.


    This time, Qin Wentian was still under the overwhelming pressure, his will was corroded by devilish energy but he held strong and sessfully connected with this constetion.


    Resplendent devil light fell from the sky, cascading down on Qin Wentian’s real body that was in the forbidden ground. In that instant, that mysterious figure inclined his head and stared at the sky as a terrifying sharpness gleamed in his eyes.


    The process of condensing an astral soul proceeded smoothly and after everything stabilized, Qin Wentian continued his cultivation. His newest astral soul’sw energy fluctuation was weaker inparison to his other attribute-energies. He needed more time to solidify his cultivation base and refine it.


    This time, he spent a long time in cultivation. The mysterious figure no longer came to disturb Qin Wentian. This time, he condensed his astral soul, formed his body ofws in a single step. When all seven kinds of attribute energies congregated on his body, he was like a true fiendgod, simply unexcelled in the world.


    When Qin Wentian opened his eyes, a terrifying sharpness gleamed as he stared at the sky. Slowly, a smile then appeared on his face.


    Clenching his fists, a clear sharp sound could be heard.


    "To think that I would gain such a power, the constetions of the 8th heavenlyyer are truly near the pinnacle." Qin Wentian stared up, wanting to see through the 9th heavenlyyer. A hint of excitement appeared in his eyes. Earlier, he had beenpletely focused in cultivation but now, he finally couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart any longer.


    "Do you think that you are already invincible because of that devil-attributew energy?" A voice rang out. Qin Wentian’s excitement abruptly vanished as ck lines filled his face. This undying freaky bastard. He came to pour cold water on him every single time.


    "Do you believe that I can exterminate you with my little finger? Completely destroying your soul, leaving you with nothing but a corpse?" That mysterious figure spoke. He then continued, "You are still weak,w-attribute energy will only grow stronger along side with one’s cultivation base. But with your current level, no matter how high the quality of yourw-attributes are, what’s the use?"


    Qin Wentian gritted his teeth. It was true that his strength was insufficient now or he would definitely violently beat up this death-deserving mysterious figure!
