Wang Zhong had gone into closed-door cultivation for three full days…
Without a doubt, he had reached the Peak Heroic Soul Stage!
With the support of such an abundant amount of Soul Power, Wang Zhong could complete a lot of things. Of course, now was not the time for that. Looking at the time on his Skylink, he realized three full days had passed.
“Seems like you have a good appetite. I originally thought you would need another course of treatment. Well, let me take a look.” Lan Daier smiled while nodding her head. “The signs that you have reached the Peak Heroic Soul Stage are very clear, which means you must have had a very solid foundation in the Casted Soul Stage. Congrats, it seems like you will have no problem becoming a Holy Disciple.”
Lan Daier waved her dainty hand. This time, she didn’t give Wang Zhong a body checkup. She was too tired, yawning consecutively. “Okay, no need for any more words. You should head back now that you’re done. I have to go back and get my beauty sleep. Staying here the past few days has made my skin become rougher!”
Wang Zhong knew he would seem like a hypocrite if he said any more, so he bid goodbye to Lan Daier. When he stepped out of the laboratory, a genuine smile appeared on his face. He was filled with joy and felt like he was treading on clouds on the way back to the warehouse. The sun seemed exceptionally bright, and the air seemed exceptionally wonderful.
He had finally reached the Peak Heroic Soul Stage. He thought it would take him a long time but didn’t expect it to be so easy. Resources were essential to one’s cultivation journey indeed. Of course, Wang Zhong wasn’t obsessed with this ‘shortcut’. It was just that this was a way to cultivate too, and it was especially suitable for him at this stage. You were just asking for extra trouble if you wanted to take the harder way out.
At the same time, his completed Soul Sea caused its endurance, stability, and even overall quality to change dramatically.
He decided to thoroughly indulge himself in it for once.
Cultivation required great perseverance and courage. If you really wanted to accomplish something big, you had to be ready to put everything at stake. Of course, that was a better way to put it. Frankly speaking, it just meant that Wang Zhong was out of his mind for considering it.
Simba was playing happily with the Headless Knight and others. He didn’t have any free time to bother with Wang Zhong. Now that little Wang Zhong was all grown up, Simba decided to leave him to his own devices… since Wang Zhong didn’t listen to him anyway.
Make it or break it!
As he sank deeper into his dreams, he went deeper into the maze too. Even his consciousness started to get fuzzy. Just like water pressure, as he sank deeper, there would be more pressure from the illusions too, and it was impossible for his soul to withstand all the pressure.
Wang Zhong’s consciousness started to lose its functioning. It was as if he fell into a deep slumber, couldn’t open his eyes, and was slowly being devoured by this world.
The consciousness that Wang Zhong had lost long ago suddenly returned to its original state in that instant, and a familiar feeling returned to his body again. It was as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.
He could sense how dangerous the situation was just now, but the corners of his mouth turned up to form a small smile. He was halfway to success!
It was lurking in Wang Zhong’s brain, having an effect of calming his mind. At the same time, it was glowing like a guide or rather, a fixed coordinate. It didn’t control his Soul Power but rather, his soul. This was the home for his soul. Wang Zhong had a feeling that whenever or wherever he was, no matter the circumstances, this Soul Core would guide his soul in the correct direction. This was a true Soul Core indeed. In the future, things like nightmares or illusions would no longer have any effect on him. No matter how lost he was, he would be able to find himself again.
Wang Zhong had once heard of a saying that most creatures would vanish into oblivion after they died, regardless of whether they had a soul or not. Their souls wouldn’t have anything to rely on even if they had one anyway. Only lifeforms that had an imprint could gain immortality. He didn’t know whether his Soul Core was considered a start to achieving immortality.
Of course, that flashed through his mind for just a moment. Realistically speaking, what he gained was that he could project his consciousness onto another thing or level without needing to worry that he would be lost. This might seem unrelated to battles, but this could help him achieve many unimaginable things, such as using his Soul Power and divine sense to explore places. He could go to any place no matter how far or dangerous it was. At the same time, regarding the microscopic world in Cellular Cosmology, he could set his mind at ease and charge forward to test his extremes.
