The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

After Ma Qingqing explained, Zhang Lingfeng realized that he also needed a corresponding fourth-level soul essence cultivation method.

The fourth-level Soul Essence Cultivation Method he had, which he had already mastered to its peak, was purchased from the black market. He had only read it a few times before adding it to his panel.

The seller is Li Xin.

The power behind Li Xin is the Li family, and Li Xin is also a direct descendant of the Li family.

Now that the Li family has been destroyed and Li Tianshan has died at his own hands, even if Li Xin hadn't died, she probably wouldn't have given him the corresponding Level 4 Soul Essence Cultivation Method if she saw that it was him who came to ask for it.

Fortunately, Zhang Lingfeng had changed his appearance several times when he met Li Xin, so Li Xin did not know his true identity.

If we find Li Xin, given his current situation, he should be able to give him the corresponding Level 4 Soul Essence Cultivation Method. The only problem is that he might not have the corresponding Level 4 Soul Essence Cultivation Method.

"The guild has detailed records of the cultivation methods for level four, level five, and even level six Soul Essence Masters. My master should have them; I'll help you find them."

Ma Qingqing said.

She also knew in her heart that Zhang Lingfeng needed a corresponding cultivation method if he wanted to advance to the fifth level of Soul Yuan Master.

Zhang Lingfeng looked grateful.

During his conversation with Ma Qingqing, Zhang Lingfeng learned that even if a Soul Yuan Master possesses a Level 7 Soul Yuan Cultivation Method, they cannot easily advance to Level 7 Soul Yuan Master.

During the advancement process, one will also trigger the laws and principles left behind by dozens of Immortal Emperors, and be hunted by powerful Immortal Emperors.

Once the Soul Essence Power reaches the fifth level, advancement becomes extremely difficult.

It felt as if I was being suppressed by a force, making it difficult to move. I felt like I was being squeezed into a small space, unable to lift my head or stand up.

Ma Qingqing said.

The world above needs Soul Masters, including many powerful Immortal Emperors, who also need their help, whether it's comprehending Daoist techniques or crafting immortal artifacts.

They all rely on Soul Masters.

Sometimes, even breakthroughs require a Soul Master.

However, because Soul Masters are too powerful, all Immortal Emperors are terrified. They want to gain power from Soul Masters, but they don't want Soul Masters to ride on their heads.

Soul Emperor is the most likely candidate in the Upper World to advance to the seventh level Soul Master.

The reason they were trapped in the White Tiger Star Region was the work of dozens of Immortal Emperors.

As a level six Soul Master and a powerful Immortal Emperor, Soul Emperor's strength is among the top tier of Immortal Emperors. Unfortunately, too many Immortal Emperors are hunting him down, and he is helpless.

They are even unable to leave the White Tiger Starfield.

At the same time, many Soul Masters' cultivation methods were restricted or destroyed, and many laws established by Immortal Emperors would affect the cultivation of many Soul Masters.

Especially for those Soul Masters with extraordinary talent, once a Celestial Emperor senses their presence, cultivation becomes increasingly difficult.

Those powerful Immortal Emperors can cause endless trouble for their opponents simply by modifying the laws, making it seem like an insurmountable wall in front of them, perhaps preventing them from ever making a breakthrough.

Zhang Lingfeng couldn't help but feel somewhat indignant.

The laws established by these Immortal Emperors are similar to those established by Shen Rufeng in the Blackwater Star Region.

Shen Rufeng is stealing everyone's luck for his own use.

These powerful Immortal Emperors are also stripping Soul Masters of their luck, preventing them from becoming stronger.

"Am I being targeted by them now?"

Zhang Lingfeng inquired.

He ascended less than a century ago, and in that time he went from a level one Soul Master to a level four Soul Master. This speed of advancement was extraordinary.

"No, it has happened in the world above. Someone went from a level one Soul Master to a level four Soul Master within ten years."

Ma Qingqing shook her head.

"what?"

Zhang Lingfeng looked surprised.

Does that person also have a cheat code?

"Who is he?"

Zhang Lingfeng asked.

“My master, and many other powerful predecessors, have been able to do it.”

Ma Qingqing thought for a moment and then added: "Between level one and level four, it will only increase the power of the Dao in the upper world. All the Immortal Emperors want their star domain Dao to become more profound and powerful. They need those Soul Masters to help the life they nurture to make continuous breakthroughs."

The rules and order they established have little impact on Soul Masters below level five.

However, if a Soul Master is too strong, they will absorb the power of their Dao. The reason why my master was trapped in the White Tiger Star Region was not because all Immortal Emperors were afraid that he would suddenly hide away and cultivate in silence, hoping to one day become a seventh-level Soul Master.

It's because even though my master didn't become a seventh-level Soul Yuan Master, he could still absorb the Dao power of other Immortal Emperors, and even affect the operation of the Dao power of the entire star field.

Once he breaks through to become a seventh-level Soul Master, the speed at which he absorbs Dao techniques will reach an unimaginable level. Even though my master promised that he would not disrupt the balance of Dao techniques among everyone or absorb everyone's Dao power after his breakthrough, people are unwilling to believe him.

The appearance of the last seventh-level Soul Master has made many Immortal Emperors live in nightmares.

My master said that becoming a Soul Essence Master means you should be proud, because Soul Essence Masters are cultivators who stand apart from other cultivation systems.

This profession should not be restricted. Even if he cannot become a level 7 Soul Master in the future, he hopes that one day, a brand new level 7 Soul Master will emerge.

Of course, he didn't want any seventh-level Soul Masters to steal and plunder the Dao power of others; that would only make the world worse, plunging it into endless wars and resource struggles.

Ma Qingqing said a lot at once.

It's clear that she greatly admires the Soul Emperor.

They also greatly admired the ideas of the Soul Emperor and hoped that one day the Soul Emperor would be able to break through the barriers set up by other Immortal Emperors and lead the Soul Masters out.

Zhang Lingfeng nodded with admiration.

Unexpectedly, the mysterious old man we encountered in the skies above the ancient Blue Star was so powerful and influential that he could make all the Immortal Emperors tremble with fear, lest he steal their Dao power.

"Although my master cannot leave the White Tiger Star Region, other Immortal Emperors do not dare to go too far, at least they will not bully the weak."

Otherwise, if my master were to forcefully break out of the White Tiger Star Region, they would also have a headache.

But we can no longer stay in the Baiyang Starfield. We must hurry into the Wangfu Starfield. The Wangfu Immortal Emperor is a good friend of my master. He will protect us there and at least prevent others from doing evil.

Ma Qingqing continued.

He then showed Zhang Lingfeng a map.

The map appeared before Zhang Lingfeng like a giant screen of light, seemingly obscuring the entire starry sky.

Since his ascension, Zhang Lingfeng has been staying in Zixiao City. Although he has entered the Monster Mountain Range, the area of ​​the Monster Mountain Range is actually under the control of Zixiao City.

Otherwise, the Li and Wang families wouldn't have been able to get a share of the elemental stone veins in the Monster Mountain Range.

This time, I'm leaving.

They not only left Zixiao City, but also the Baiyang Star Region.

For the first time, Zhang Lingfeng also realized how vast the world above was.

Leaving aside how far the White Tiger Starfield is from the White Ocean Starfield, the Wangfu Starfield is more than a dozen starfields away from the White Ocean Starfield.

It is a place that cannot be directly reached by a teleportation array and requires multiple transfers.

This is not because the teleportation array in the world above is too weak, but because the distance is too great, so great that even time and spacetime can be distorted.

The construction of teleportation arrays between them not only requires the intervention of Immortal Emperors, but also their long-term maintenance. Even so, it is easy to enter the spacetime turbulence and fall into a chaotic cycle of cause and effect, never able to return to the main world from the chaotic cycle.

It's complicated to explain.

Zhang Lingfeng only had a superficial understanding. In short, to reach the Wangfu Star Region, one would need to constantly switch teleportation arrays and change locations, among other things.

"Once we return to the White Tiger Star Region, everything will be much easier."

Ma Qingqing sighed.

The Daoist power in the White Tiger Star Region is extremely strong, capable of constructing teleportation arrays over relatively long distances. The time it took her to travel from the White Tiger Star Region to the White Ocean Star Region was much, much less than the time it took to return.

Now, with Zhang Lingfeng and the little golden dragon traveling by teleportation array, in some star fields where the Dao is relatively weak, the distance that each teleportation array can send can be very limited.

Even among immortal emperors, there are those who are strong and those who are weak.

Furthermore, not all star regions have a Celestial Emperor-level expert stationed there.

Some star regions with scarce resources are not visited by Celestial Emperors; they are usually divided up into several regions by a few Celestial Lords.

They each acted independently, either simultaneously pledging allegiance to a single Celestial Emperor or separately pledging allegiance to a particular Celestial Emperor.

Such star systems are generally quite chaotic.

For example, the Divine Wind Starfield.

At this moment, having traveled through the teleportation array from the Baiyang Starfield, the first starfield they landed in was the Shenfeng Starfield.

The area and size of the Divine Wind Starfield are larger than those of the White Ocean Starfield, but unfortunately, it is barren of resources and is said to be a cursed land. It is also associated with a powerful seventh-level Soul Master from the past.

According to Ma Qingqing's explanation.

The Divine Wind Starfield was originally one of the wealthiest starfields in the Upper World.

As a result, dozens, or even hundreds, of Immortal Emperors joined forces to besiege that seventh-level Soul Master, turning the Divine Wind Starfield into what it is today.

One of the richest star regions has become a cursed land, where even Immortal Emperors are unwilling to visit. Some say that the powerful seventh-level Soul Master did not die.

He is still alive.

But few people know where it is.

After some twists and turns.

A week later, Zhang Lingfeng and Ma Qingqing finally escaped from the Baiyang Starfield and arrived in the Shenfeng Starfield via a teleportation array.

I originally thought the process would be very difficult.

Having broken free from the shackles of Taoist power, Xue Bingkun would surely chase after him like a madman, leading countless people to surround and intercept him, even resorting to ruthless methods to capture the little golden dragon.

Unexpectedly, after leaving Zixiao City, everything remained calm and peaceful.

This seems to be related to the intimidation exerted by the Soul Emperor.

"Immortal Lord, Zhang Lingfeng and Ma Qingqing have arrived in the Divine Wind Star Region. Everything you requested has been prepared."

A mystical immortal reported to Xue Bingkun.

"very good."

Xue Bingkun remained expressionless. He had lost face in Zixiao City and was now completely at odds with Ma Qingqing. It was impossible for him to gain Ma Qingqing's approval or become her Daoist partner.

Now all he can get is the little golden dragon.

Even if he couldn't gain the little golden dragon's approval and obtain the dragon's fortune, he still needed to give Emperor Baiyang an explanation for this matter and obtain his approval and reward.

Xue Bingkun's figure flickered.

We arrived in a desert.

There is a large teleportation array in the desert.

You can directly teleport to the Divine Wind Starfield.

Furthermore, there were two other immortal lords waiting for Xue Bingkun at this moment. They were both disciples of the White Ocean Immortal Emperor, and were named Purple Sun Immortal Lord Jia and White Jade Immortal Lord respectively.

Xue Bingkun's Daoist name, Baiyang Immortal Lord, shows how much favored he was in the eyes of Baiyang Immortal Emperor.

Ziyang Immortal Lord is also a Soul Yuan Master with Level 4 Soul Yuan Power. He is also a member of the Soul Yuan Guild. However, not all Soul Yuan Masters revere the Soul Emperor and follow his lead.

Conversely, because the Soul Emperor was trapped in the White Tiger Star Region and his soul essence was restricted by many Immortal Emperors, many Soul Essence Masters took the initiative to distance themselves from the Soul Emperor, not wanting to be implicated, and also hoping to obtain opportunities from other Immortal Emperors.

The Purple Sun Immortal Lord was just like that.

Baiyu Xianjun is a woman whose Taoist power is combined with a sword. Legend has it that among immortals, her swordsmanship can cut through most Taoist power defenses, and even a Soul Yuan Master might not be able to block her attack.

The purpose of their trip was to obtain the little golden dragon.

As for Zhang Lingfeng?
Even if Zhang Lingfeng was a Level 4 Soul Master, the three of them didn't take him seriously; they didn't care about his life or death.

Of course, Xue Bingkun would not let Zhang Lingfeng off easily.

"Let's get there right away."

"Could they arrive in the Divine Wind Star Region and then immediately teleport to another location?"

"I've already made arrangements; the teleportation array in the Divine Wind Starfield can only be used for entry, not exit, for the time being."

"The Baiyang Starfield is the closest starfield to the Shenfeng Starfield. Do the people there know what to do?"

"I don't know what they were thinking, but they actually dared to choose to take the teleportation array to enter the Divine Wind Starfield."

……

The three of them walked into the teleportation array together and talked to each other.

"Ouch!"

Divine Wind Starfield.

Upon arriving in this star field, the little golden dragon formed a golden light that flickered on Zhang Lingfeng's shoulder, and it transmitted a voice saying, "Such a familiar aura fluctuation."

"It feels like I've been here before?"

"Oh?"

Zhang Lingfeng was caught off guard. The little golden dragon was a golden five-clawed dragon with extremely keen intuition. Could everything here be related to the dragon race's talent?

Only a little golden dragon could have such feelings.

"This place was once the main battlefield for that seventh-level Soul Master and many Immortal Emperors."

Ma Qingqing explained.

"What is the name of that level seven Soul Master?"

Zhang Lingfeng inquired.

So far, he only knows that there is a powerful seventh-level Soul Master who once crushed a group of Immortal Emperors, but who exactly is that seventh-level Soul Master?

Zhang Lingfeng, however, had no idea.

When Zhang Lingfeng joined the Soul Essence Guild, he tried to find the answer in the ancient books and even asked Xuan Xiaohong, but the answer was that it was unspeakable.

"That's taboo, it can't be spoken of."

Ma Qingqing said with a solemn expression.

Zhang Lingfeng was shocked.

He realized that he couldn't mention the other party's name or any information because it was related to the laws set by the Immortal Emperor. Why was it like this? He couldn't even mention the other party's name, as if mentioning the other party's name would immediately bring down heavenly punishment.
