Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 140 Special Life Forms of the Soul

"We are master and disciple, there's no need for formalities."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was quite pleased. He was already very satisfied with Qin Ming, and he was even more satisfied after learning that Qin Ming had a clone.

"You just said that your talent 'Soul Splitting' is related to soul strength, which reminds me of something."

Perhaps you could consider creating a soul life clone!
In the future, you plan to pursue a spiritual path, which will be of great help to you.

However, finding the remains of such a special life form would likely be difficult.

Qin Ming was taken aback. Soul life?

There are many kinds of beings in the universe, including flesh and blood, metal, plant, rock, energy, and so on, including souls!

However, this is an extremely rare group, and they are often overlooked.

However, Qin Ming still knew about soul life from the memories inherited by the Golden Horned Beast.

Previously, he had been considering how to strengthen his laws-based talents, such as earth, space, or even time-space talents, or a massive divine body, etc.

Why not consider a special life form clone of the soul?

The soul is the foundation!
Human beings determine their race not based on their physical bodies, but on their souls.

The body can be possessed, but the fluctuations of each person's soul are different.

Yes, if one were to nurture a special life form of the soul, wouldn't that allow one to go further and more smoothly on the path of the soul?
This type of life often possesses extremely high talent in the soul!

For example, the Zerg Queen, who is also one of the six top races, is a natural master of the soul. They are born with ten thousand soul essences, and their soul strength far exceeds that of other races.

To enslave the Zerg Queen, one must cultivate specialized secret techniques.

The true soul-based races are even stronger.

Especially for special life forms with souls, their soul talents are probably off the charts!

Only by strengthening our own strengths can we go further.

Furthermore, a stronger soul can lead to comprehensive improvements in all aspects, including the understanding of laws, comprehension, and thinking speed.

Qin Ming was perfectly aware of this.

If the first clone can nurture a special life form like a soul, that would indeed be a good choice. Moreover, the strength of the soul can make the second and third clones that one nurtures in the future even stronger.

"This is indeed a very good choice, a better choice than the earth and air-based special life forms I was thinking of. But finding the materials for these special life forms..."

While Qin Ming was tempted, he also began to have a headache.

The Golden Horned Beast's inherited memories contain few records of soul-type life forms, such as a race called the Spirit Origin Clan.

They have no physical form, so naturally they don't have scales or hair.

Upon death, it directly transforms into energy and disappears, leaving only a fragmented crystal core.

This applies not only to soul-based life forms, but also often to energy-based life forms.

This is why, in the original timeline, it was so difficult for Luo Feng to even purchase a Demon Slayer skin.

Even a single Demon Slayer skin is worth several hundred Chaos Yuan.

The skin alone is enough to bankrupt even the world lords.

This shows how precious it is.

Luo Feng was lucky to be able to buy it because he came across a flawed skin.

The remains of a soul and life are even more precious.

Moreover, if Qin Ming wants to create a soul life clone, it must at least be a special life form.

This makes it even rarer.

"The souls of those monsters within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner can actually be considered as souls!"

However, they are too weak, and they also lack the life-giving substances that I can nurture.

But what if the pregnancy is successful!

As long as it is a special life form, even one of lower life level, relying on the purest soul essence within the Myriad Soul Banner, it might be possible to directly elevate its life level.

One's level of life can be improved by using treasures.

For flesh and blood life, the key is the number of genes.

However, energy-based life forms also have similar algorithms, only they are not genetic.

For example, Luo Feng's Demon Slayer Clan clone later obtained the spatial origin treasure 'Heart of Space' in the core of the Ancestral God Sect and integrated it into his life crystal core, raising his life level to 100 times.

However, in the primordial universe, for non-special life forms, the maximum increase under the level of the universe master is only 100 times!
Therefore, if one is to conceive a soul-like life form, it must at least be a special life form.

Only special life forms can be unrestricted.

This is the favor of the primordial universe.

"Let me think of a way for you. This type of special life form is indeed extremely rare; I've never seen one before. Perhaps some of my friends have some in their collections."

After pondering for a moment, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom could only shake his head helplessly.

"Excuse me, teacher."

Qin Ming was grateful. On his own, he would have a hard time finding even the remains of ordinary special life forms, let alone the extremely rare soul-type creatures.

"You go and cultivate first, I'll go contact my friend."

Shaking his head, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom stopped thinking about it.

He has many friends, and perhaps one of them happens to have this collection.

"Yes"

Qin Ming bowed respectfully.

……

The surrounding space changed, and when Qin Ming came to his senses, he found himself in an ancient courtyard, where a familiar figure was also present.

"Spatial transformation?"

Qin Ming saw that he had appeared in an unfamiliar courtyard and thought to himself.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom clearly became a venerable one through the laws of space, possessing unparalleled mastery in the application of spatial principles.

"Your Highness Qin Ming, I will take you to your palace."

The Immortal Thirteen Paths of the Scaled Giant.

Your Highness!

After Qin Ming was accepted as a disciple by the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom, 'Thirteen' became noticeably more polite, and his smile became even more pronounced.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom did not take on many disciples. In the long course of history, he only took on 24 personal disciples. The last time he took on disciples was hundreds of millions of years ago.

Over the long years, the vast majority have perished.

Very few remain alive, and the most powerful of them, the second disciple, is already a king-level expert, while the weakest of the rest are immortals.

"Thank you for your trouble, Thirteenth Master." Qin Ming's expression was also quite pleasant. He was naturally happy to have successfully become the disciple of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom treated him much better than he had imagined.

Not only did he open his treasure trove to Qin Ming to choose a clone, but he also planned to find his friend to help Qin Ming cultivate the most suitable clone.

Whether it's a soul-type entity or a special life form avatar from earth or space, the improvement it brings to Qin Ming will be extremely terrifying.

How could Qin Ming not be happy about this?

Who would be the friend of the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom?

Those are at least cosmic venerables, or even cosmic overlords!
How could the collection of such a powerful person be anything less?

While feeling grateful, Qin Ming also secretly made a note of it.

He is still weak now and can't help his teacher much. He can only wait until he becomes stronger before he can find a way to repay his teacher.

"You're too kind. The Qianwu Secret Realm is divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. You ranked first in the Trial Tower assessment, so we can arrange a 'Heaven' level palace for you."

The Heavenly Palace is not on the continent, but rather a fragment of a star above the continent.

There, the primordial energy of the universe is more concentrated, making it more suitable for cultivation.

As they spoke, a gentle energy emanated from the 'Thirteen' Divine Body, enveloping Qin Ming, and then the two of them quickly flew into the sky.

"This time I'll take you there, and afterwards you can travel there by spaceship."

Qin Ming nodded.

The primordial energy of the universe condenses into crystals, which are called cosmic crystals!
The reason why world lords are able to create a world is because they can condense a large amount of cosmic energy.

"Within the Qianwu Secret Realm, there is an internal points system."

Points are much more useful than Qianwu Coins, as they can be used to purchase special items that are not available outside the Secret Realm system.

If you win first place, you will receive an initial reward of 10 points, which you can check in the system later.

Whether it's telekinetic weapons, secret techniques, or rare and precious materials, you can buy them all.

While flying, 'Thirteen' was also explaining some common knowledge about the secret realm to Qin Ming.

Logically speaking, these trivial matters are not something that a noble and immortal person like him should do personally. Even the top scorer in the Trial Tower is far from qualified to do so.

However, if one is also a disciple of the Qianwu, then it's a different story.

……

As you ascend, the buildings beneath your feet become smaller and smaller, eventually turning into black dots.

Qin Ming also saw patches of void land above the continent.

On land, there are rows of palaces, many of which exude a powerful aura.

With Qin Ming on board, 'Thirteen' laughed and said, "This is continent number 987523, with a diameter of approximately 3700 kilometers."

In the center of this continent stands a grand mansion.

That's where you'll live.

This entire continent, from this moment on, belongs to you privately.

"Ah."

Qin Ming looked around. This void land was not barren. Various plants and flowers were very lush, and there was a wisp of mist in the air.

Within the mist, Qin Ming sensed an extremely dense energy.

Clearly, this is the origin of cosmic energy mentioned by 'Thirteen'.

It would be strange if one's cultivation speed wasn't fast in such a place.

Furthermore, because the primordial energy of the universe is incredibly concentrated, the fluctuations of the primordial energy of the universe are perceived more clearly.

In conversation room.

call!call!call!
Dozens of figures broke through the air from a distance.

"Your Highness!"

Dozens of powerful warriors in neat uniforms landed in unison, and led by an immortal powerhouse, they shouted respectfully in unison.

immortal?

Qin Ming was somewhat surprised. He knew that there would most likely be guards in this mansion, but sending an Immortal powerhouse to act as a guard seemed a bit too extravagant.

Leading them were immortals, and there were also 10 realm lords, with the rest being domain lords.

“Normally, a Heavenly-level Guardian is a Realm Lord, but the King has specially arranged for an Immortal to serve as His Highness’s guard.”

'Alex' achieved immortality through the Law of Earth, and he can also guide Your Highness in your cultivation on a regular basis.

Seeing Qin Ming's surprise, 'Thirteen' immediately spoke up.

"Sorry to trouble you all."

Qin Ming remained silent. Teacher Qianwu was too good to him, taking care of him in every way.

"It is our honor to serve as His Highness's guards."

Alex was a stone giant made entirely of rock, about eight meters tall, and at this moment he had a kind and respectful expression on his face.

His potential for spiritual cultivation has essentially reached its limit.

Therefore, upon learning that the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom had taken on a personal disciple and needed a bodyguard, he immediately volunteered, hoping to get the job.

He wasn't the only one who wanted to take it.

However, he managed to snatch it by leveraging his advantage of breaking through to immortality through the Law of Earth.

This is a fantastic job!
Not only is it easy, but you can also build a good relationship with the personal disciple of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler.

If Qin Ming breaks through in the future, with just a little bit of resources given to him by our incense offering, he will be able to enjoy it endlessly.

Surrounded by guards such as 'Thirteen' and Alex, Qin Ming soon arrived at an ancient palace complex.

This palace complex stretches for over 300 kilometers and contains numerous buildings, including all types of cultivation rooms.

I toured around and got a general feel for it.

The group arrived at a quiet meditation room.

Qin Ming addressed 'Alex' and the others behind him.

"From today onwards, no one is to enter and disturb us without my permission."

He will go into seclusion to cultivate various secret techniques, including the soul amplification technique "Undying Holy Soul".

He hasn't even remembered to check the ring treasure given to him by Master Qianwu.

This contains abundant cultivation resources, enough for the Star-Eating Grass to grow to immortality in the best way!

"Yes, Your Highness!"
