Swallowing the Stars: Level 1, One Talent, Invincible Chaos Origin

Chapter 97, "Hidden Soul" Secret Book

Chaos City, a place for cultivation.

With Jiang Ming's killing efficiency, it didn't take him long to sweep through the endless chaos beasts.

They collected an enormous amount of Chaos True Spirit.

"This Chaos True Spirit is truly effective; no wonder it's known as the third treasure of Chaos City."

After absorbing the Chaos True Spirit, Jiang Ming could sense the changes that occurred in his soul.

As his soul underwent a transformation, his understanding of the laws of the universe also increased.

"It's reached its limit so quickly."

After just over half an hour, Jiang Ming discovered that no matter how much Chaos True Spirit he absorbed, his soul did not undergo any transformation or improvement.

"However, it's not bad that it has improved to this point."

Although Jiang Ming felt some regret, he was still satisfied.

The increased speed of understanding the laws after the soul's transformation is a basic improvement. The better the foundation and the longer the time, the greater the benefit.

"Observing the workings of the primordial universe requires being outdoors, which is a bit of a hassle for me."

Jiang Ming frowned slightly, remembering this troubling matter.

When the Wheel of Time rotates, there are subtle fluctuations in time, and the flow of time is ten thousand times faster, making it difficult for the super strong people in Chaos City not to notice.

When Jiang Ming was in the Dragon Journey training chamber, he was surrounded by young geniuses, so it wasn't too difficult for him to hide it from them.

But in this cultivation residence in Chaos City, no one knows when a super strong expert might pass by.

Jiang Ming had no confidence whatsoever that he could keep it a secret from those super strong individuals.

"However, the 'Soul Gold Bead' given by the city lord has a strong concealment effect, which may be able to help me."

While pondering, Jiang Ming thought of the 'Soul Golden Pearl' given to him by the Lord of Chaos City. This treasure allowed Jiang Ming to ignore soul attacks from the level of a Universe Venerable, and its concealment effect might bring him a pleasant surprise.

Virtual universe, Yuxiang Mountain original area.

Jiang Ming appeared at his manor.

"Your Highness."

As soon as Jiang Ming appeared, Vanessa, whose consciousness had remained in the virtual universe, came to his side.

Vanessa.

Upon seeing Vanessa, Jiang Ming nodded slightly in greeting.

"Your Highness caused such a commotion, yet shut down the virtual universe communication. Many important figures, unable to contact Your Highness, have turned to me."

Even though the initial shock had subsided, Vanessa still couldn't hide her astonishment as she spoke.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Vanessa. I'm currently in Chaos City, and I'll be here for thirty years. I don't want to waste my energy on other things."

Hearing Vanessa say this, Jiang Ming could guess what kind of people could contact Vanessa.

"Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured and focus on your cultivation. I will take care of everything for you."

Although most of Vanessa's face was hidden under her hood, the small portion of her face that was visible revealed her serious expression.

"Thank you very much, Vanessa. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

After exchanging a few words with Vanessa, Jiang Ming headed towards the training room in the manor.

"I didn't expect there to actually be a solution. It seems that the city lord took this into consideration when he gifted me the 'Soul Gold Pearl'."

After Jiang Ming finished reading the book on the 'Golden Pearl of the Soul', he was overjoyed.

Activating the 'Soul Golden Pearl' requires practicing a special secret technique called "Hidden Soul".

Once refined, the 'Soul Golden Bead' does not require deliberate activation. The bead will continuously emit a weak force field, distorting the outward manifestation of the holder's soul fluctuations, making it appear as background noise under soul probing and difficult to lock onto.

It can effectively evade soul detection by Venerable-level beings. The golden bead guards the soul and automatically absorbs and neutralizes soul attacks, illusions, and willpower impacts from beings below the Venerable level and even those at the Venerable level.

These are the basic effects of the 'Soul Gold Bead', and there is no need to activate them specifically.

To unleash the full power of the 'Soul Golden Pearl', one must cultivate the secret technique, 'Hidden Soul'.

"Upon mastering the first level of 'Hidden Soul,' 'Boundless Shadow,' one can significantly enhance the concealment effect."
Furthermore, it can actively and completely 'sink' its own soul energy into the internal space of the golden bead.
External exploration is like facing an abyss of nothingness; even a cosmic-level being would find it extremely difficult to detect its existence!

Jiang Ming's eyes flashed with a sharp light; this was exactly what he needed right now!

"The key is that this concealment effect not only targets the soul detection itself, but also includes all the subtle fluctuations caused by soul activity."

And the fluctuations of the laws surrounding me.

"If we can use 'Shadowless Shadow' to conceal the fluctuations in the laws of time generated by the Wheel of Time!"

Even a cosmic supreme being would find it difficult to detect.

The theory is feasible! All that's left is to put it into practice.

Jiang Ming left the rooftop and entered the quiet room on the first floor of his cultivation residence.

Passing through layers of world rings, they hid inside the largest world ring at the very bottom.

Sitting cross-legged on the Venerable One's remains, he activated the Wheel of Time to accelerate time and entered a state of enlightenment.

He immersed his mind in his sea of ​​consciousness and began to fully comprehend and cultivate the first level of "Hidden Soul," "Boundless Shadow," according to the records in the classic texts.

This secret technique is indeed worthy of being bestowed by the Lord of Chaos City. It is a top-level soul technique that shares the same origin as the Golden Soul Pearl, and it is profound and mysterious.

It is not merely an energy-driven technique, but a profound understanding and transformation of the essence of the soul.

Jiang Ming needs to adjust his soul fluctuation frequency to perfectly resonate with the "concealment" characteristic of the core of the soul golden bead.

And guide your own soul energy to collapse inward, merging into the void abyss constructed by the golden beads.

Time passed slowly during the meditation.

Jiang Ming's mind, however, was completely immersed in the microscopic world of his soul.

The golden bead of the soul slowly rotated in the sea of ​​consciousness, emitting a deep, dark light, like a miniature black hole in the universe, beginning to absorb, transform, and conceal every wisp of soul imprint that Jiang Mingyi emitted.

Time slowly passed in the outside world.

One day, two days...

On the third day, Jiang Ming suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes.

hum!
The golden bead of the soul in the sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly, and an invisible force field instantly spread outward, not outward, but inward!

Jiang Ming clearly felt that all the spiritual aura and mental fluctuations emanating from him had disappeared.

"It's done! This is 'The Shadowless Blade'!" Jiang Ming thought with certainty.

He tried to mobilize a wisp of his soul power to sense the outside world and found that his perception had not weakened. On the contrary, because his soul core was extremely refined and protected, his perception of the fluctuations of the laws of the outside world was clearer and more acute.

However, this perception, when transmitted outward, was perfectly distorted, absorbed, and hidden by the golden bead's force field, without leaking out in the slightest.

"It worked! The soul fluctuations were completely concealed, and the time fluctuations generated when the Wheel of Time rotated were also concealed!"

Jiang Ming could no longer detect the fluctuations in the laws generated by the Wheel of Time.

"Then, let's get started."

Jiang Ming appeared in the outside world and went straight to the rooftop of his cultivation residence.

The Wheel of Time quietly condensed within his body, and within the golden Wheel of Time lay the power that the Lord of Chaos City had previously invested.

There's no need to add any extra fuel at this point.

Around him, time flowed silently and frantically.
