C41 Earth Soul Realm

"That is to say, Wu Bing is an orphan adopted by Old Master Yu?" Zhang Hao tilted his head as he looked at the indifferent Zheng Yun. He had cultivated in the grandmist fire tower for two months before finally coming out. After a brief rest, he found Zheng Yun and had him take a trip to Old Master Yu's place.

The latter had just finished concocting some medicine for Wu Bing. Seeing this, Zhang Hao casually asked him about some of the things Wu Bing had done. Zheng Yun, on the way to the Yu Mansion with him, told him in detail about his experiences.

Wu Bing's father was originally a friend of the Old Master Yu. However, on a mission, he died, so the Old Master Yu brought the young man to the Yu Family and passed on some cultivation techniques to him. The latter also worked hard and managed to reach the peak of the Qi Cultivation stage in just three years.

At the age of sixteen, he had already entered the Qi Condensation stage. Now that he was twenty, his cultivation had already reached the Qi Condensation stage. Back then, Yu Xiaoqian's parents were severely injured by the Lei Family and died without being able to cure them. Old Master Yu no longer had any children and only had a precious granddaughter like Little Qian, who he loved dearly, which made her a fearless person, causing her to cause a lot of trouble. Old Master Yu had a headache because of this.

In the end, he let the straightforward and honest Wu Bing follow by her side, keeping an eye on that troublesome granddaughter of his. However, after just a few days, Wu Bing was defeated, and was taken in by Yu Xiaoqian into her faction.

The old man had no choice but to let Yu Qianqian live in the Zheng Family. He hoped that Zheng Yun's gentle personality would be able to change her slightly. However, the old man had never expected that Yu Xiaoqian would not be able to stay in the Zheng Family for two days. She brought Wu Bing and dived into the Misty Mountain Range, disappearing without a trace.

Later on, after many enquiries, only then did the old man find out that his darling granddaughter had set her mind on some spiritual medicine, and after finding out about this, the old man immediately flew into a rage. However, he could only stare with wide eyes.

He had already made up his mind that after his darling granddaughter came back, he would take care of her. However, he didn't expect that the Lei Clan would suddenly make a move at this time, forcing him to temporarily suppress this thought.

When he heard that Wu Bing was heavily injured, Old Master Yu's heart trembled as well. All these years, he had treated Wu Bing as his own grandson. How could he not be anxious when he suddenly heard that he was injured? However, after calming down, he decided that it would be better for Wu Bing to stay in the Zheng Family. After all, with Zheng Yun around, it would also be beneficial to his recovery.

Master Yu was in the living room listening to the butler report on the Lei Family's movements, when a servant came in to report that Miss Zheng had arrived. The old man frowned slightly, then had his servants invite him in.

"Why is that girl Zheng Yun here at this time?" Could it be that there's been some unforeseen event that happened to the Zheng Family? " Just as he was feeling puzzled, under the guidance of the servant from the Yu clan, Zhang Hao and the others arrived at the guest hall.

"Hehe, Old Master Yu, this junior came uninvited. You wouldn't mind, would you?" Zhang Hao noticed his frown and thought that the arrival of the two of them would cause some inconvenience to the old man, so he asked with a smile. After all, he came with some business to consult with them, so he naturally had to be more respectful.

When Old Man Yu heard this voice, he immediately lifted his flushed face. When he saw that it was him, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The Lei Clan's recent activity was truly a headache for them.

"Haha, my little friend has come. This old man naturally welcomes you. Come, serve tea!" Old Man Yu then stood up and laughed loudly at him before asking his servants to prepare some tea for him. Zhang Hao didn't stand on ceremony. He went straight to the point, "Old Master, I came this time because I don't really understand some things. I would like to ask you a question."

"Oh? I wonder what business do you have with me? " Old Man Yu's brows trembled slightly. After waving his hand to dismiss the servant, he asked: "I wonder what this old man has that little friend is interested in?" When the lordmaster heard that he wanted to ask some questions, he immediately grew cautious. It wasn't that he didn't want to say them, but that he couldn't.

Zhang Hao heard the old man's nonchalant words and was slightly stunned. He then let out a dry laugh and said, "Old man, please be at ease. Since you don't want to talk about some things, I will not ask about them.

Zheng Yun had been sitting by the side without saying anything ever since she entered. When she heard Zhang Hao's question, she let out a sigh of relief. She was well aware of the old man's temper.

"Cultivation?" Old Man Yu's brows relaxed slightly when he heard this. He then asked, "What do you want to know?" Zhang Hao smiled faintly and said, "I want to know what realm the cultivators are in. Also …" At this point, he raised his eyes to look at old man Yu and continued, "This junior is very curious about the energy that you blocked my soul power from detecting yesterday. I would like to ask old man Yu to tell me what it is."

After he looked at him for a long time, he felt that he wasn't deliberately teasing him. Finally, he opened his mouth and said, "The energy that I obstructed you with yesterday was the spiritual sense that ordinary cultivators use. Could it be that you don't even know this?"

Seeing the former shake his head, the old man looked at him with an increasingly strange expression. He then took a sip of tea and said, "Cultivators usually use their spiritual sense to check the opponent's strength, however, this is only useful to those who are weaker than them. Only after reaching the Void Interpretation Stage can the source of the soul in the body fuse with the Nascent Soul, and that only allows the soul to escape after the body is destroyed.

After he finished speaking, Old Master Yu glanced at the two young men. It was obvious that he knew about their cultivation soul as well. Zhang Hao finally understood when he heard this. The old man rarely talked about this to anyone, so he did his best to think about it. After a long while, he finally managed to tell Zhang Hao about his cultivation realm in detail.

According to the old man, the cultivation realms were divided into nine realms: Qi Cultivation Stage, Qi Condensation Stage, Gongji Stage, Core Formation Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Void Stage, Netherpassage Stage, Calamity Stage, and Large Success Stage.

And every increase in level was extremely difficult. Of course, the further one went, the greater their abilities would be. It was said that cultivators at the large success stage could easily use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use.

Only when one reaches the Sky and Nether Realm can the Nascent Soul in the body escape from the body. A person like Master Yu who has cultivated an inner core can at most extend his life a little.

On the way back, Zhang Hao smacked his lips and suddenly turned his head to ask, "If I don't, can't I form my core?" He clearly knew that he went from the Qi Condensation stage to the Core Formation stage. Although he didn't know why, he felt that the technique he was cultivating was different from what they were talking about.

Zheng Yun tilted his head and glanced at him. His eyes were a bit complicated as he said, "I'm not too sure, but I've read about them in books. It is said that long ago, there were not only cultivation sects in this world, but also cultivators, Soul Cultivators, and so on." Maybe the Core Formation Cultivation Method you mentioned does not need to exist, but I believe that there are some things in this world that we do not know about, and are unable to understand. However, since they can exist in this world, there is naturally a reasonable place for them. "

Zhang Hao heard the last sentence and was slightly shocked. His eyes narrowed as he thought back to the last sentence. He seemed to have grasped onto something, but he wasn't sure what it was. Zheng Yun didn't know why, but he saw Qin Lie suddenly turn into a completely different person. He stood there quietly, waiting for him for more than four hours. The people around him pointed at him as if they were looking at a monster, whispering something to him.

At this moment, Zhang Hao seemed to have not heard anything. His mind was focused on the source of his soul. He was struggling to think of something, and that ash-colored source of his soul was also slowly rotating, quietly changing.

"Buzz buzz …" As he continued to ponder about the meaning behind Zheng Yun's words, the rotation of his soul origin began to become faster and faster. In the end, it began to spin at an undetectable speed, and the gray gas surrounding it began to rumble through his soul domain like raging waves.

With a deafening explosion, the gray gas crazily rushed towards the source of the soul, and was then swallowed up like a whale.

This scene lasted for more than four hours in Zhang Hao's mind, and he had no idea how much grey gas the spirit source absorbed. Just when he thought this scene would continue without end, a clear voice suddenly rang out, as if something had cracked open in his mind.

The sound was not particularly loud, to the point that it could be said that it was inaudible under the frightening sounds of the gray gas. However, this inaudible cracking sound seemed to come from the depths of his soul, causing him to suddenly wake up from his mysterious state.

"Kacha kacha!" As Zhang Hao's consciousness returned to normal, the cracking sound became more and more intense, and soon after, the scene that greeted him caused his pupils to constrict. As Zhang Hao recovered his consciousness, the cracking sound became more and more intense, and soon after, the scene that greeted him caused his pupils to constrict, and the greyish white spirit source was filled with cracks.

"Bam." As more and more cracks appeared, it seemed as if the soul source had reached a critical point. Suddenly, the soul source completely exploded, followed by a surge of unparalleled soul energy that surged outwards, spreading in the distance.

Rumble … With the spread of this soul energy, the entire soul space started to tremble. Circles of energy ripples, which could be seen with the naked eye, rippled through the entire space like ripples.

As time passed, the energy ripples slowly settled down and finally completely merged into the grey space. Zhang Hao, however, was surprised to discover that there were some changes that occurred under the soul space. Streams of condensed soul force turned into a piece of land and appeared in this illusionary grey space …
