Nascent Soul Rebirth: Starting as a Wizard

The faint spiritual light at his fingertips dissipated like fireflies, and Solo slowly withdrew his hand.

The dull light in the stone lizard's eyes suddenly went out, as if the last vestige of its soul fire that sustained its existence had been blown away by the wind.

With a crash, its body completely disintegrated, turning into a pile of ordinary stones devoid of any life force, merging with the surrounding sand and gravel.

For such a fragile, nascent spiritual being, the burden of soul-searching techniques is devastating.

"Just as I suspected... a fissure leading deep into the earth's veins." Solo opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and clear, his previous speculation confirmed.

He processed those fragmented and chaotic pieces of memory. "Something... is urging them on, constantly heading to various 'production bases'..."

Without the slightest hesitation, he moved his mind, and an invisible force, like flowing water, gently yet powerfully swept across the ground. The remains of the stone lizard that had just been searched.

All traces left by the battle were instantly smoothed over, compacted, and finally buried completely under the shifting yellow sand.

The Gobi Desert returned to its ancient desolation, as if nothing had ever happened.

The winds gathered once more.

Pale golden light flowed around him, quickly condensing and expanding, transforming into a magnificent and extraordinary roc.

It raises its head and cries out, its broad wings, made of pure energy, vibrate slightly, causing air currents to swirl around it.

Solo leaped and landed firmly on the back of the roc, his clothes fluttering in the gradually calming wind.

At this moment, he no longer needed to rely on rough map markings or scattered traces of biological migration to guess the direction.

The information obtained from the soul search was like a clear map, guiding him to rush towards the entrance of the "dried-up ancient riverbed" in his memory.

He will follow the path these rock creatures came from, going upstream to the source.

The target is the earth fissure that gave birth to this calamity and may also hold the secrets of the earth's veins or even spiritual veins.

The powerful roc moved with incredible speed, covering thousands of miles in an instant. In just half a day, it had already traversed over a thousand miles of the vast Gobi Desert.

Solo spread his spiritual senses out like mercury across the ground, occasionally locking onto the scattered, wandering rock creatures below and casually clearing them away.

At the same time, the direction of his "tangible energy" condensation became clearer: main force attack, self-defense, escape and survival, substitute, and even backup support... The general framework has taken shape.

As for simply channeling his inner energy into his internal organs and limbs to strengthen his body, it was of little significance to him, who had already embarked on the path of a knight.

In terms of sheer strength and physical prowess, the path of the warrior is far less direct and smooth than the path of the knight.

"A large target below." With a slight shift of his spiritual sense, Solo raised his right hand in a claw-like shape.

Strands of invisible energy rapidly converged and solidified, transforming into a nearly transparent spear, its tip radiating a chilling sharpness.

Driven by his thoughts, the life seed within his dantian trembled slightly, and a surge of life energy burst forth, propelling the strength of his arm to a terrifying level.

He leaned back like a fully drawn bow, then suddenly threw himself forward!

"call out--!"

The spear fell silently through the air, piercing the core of the large, slowly moving rock creature in the Gobi Desert with perfect accuracy.

Immediately afterwards, the spear exploded, transforming into a rapidly spinning, sharp whirlwind that shredded and purified the toughest part of its body, which contained the essence of earth.

It eventually turned into a small handful of tough, metallic-looking sand, which flew upwards and landed in Solo's palm.

He weighed it in his hand and then put it away.

Soon, guided by the information obtained from the soul search, he arrived at his destination.

Before me lay an even more desolate and lifeless Gobi Desert, with a fissure in the ground stretching for tens of kilometers, like a shallow scar on the earth, not particularly noticeable in the dim light of the day.

But when Solo focused his spiritual senses on the interior of the rift, the scene was completely different—

Beneath the fissures that extend thousands of meters deep, and on the rock walls, tens of thousands of rock creatures are densely packed together!

Most of them are in their larval stage, their forms are not yet fully developed, they wriggle slightly like insect eggs, and are soundly "asleep", emitting a faint but uniform earth-elemental fluctuation.

"The lair... it really is here." Solo frowned slightly, confirming his target.

There are no violent sandstorms here, only endless, fine, misty yellow sand slowly falling from the sky.

He did not hesitate at all.

With his current top-tier martial arts cultivation and spiritual awareness surpassing the peak of Qi Refining, he was confident that he could quickly defeat even a crystal beast equivalent to the late stage of Qi Refining, or what this world calls "close to level one".

Simply put, in such a sandy environment, the sand-controlling power of the divine sand is greatly amplified, and the characteristics of these rock-dwelling organisms are precisely restrained by the crushing and erosion properties contained in the divine sand.

"However, before we take action, we must first ensure that no one will disturb us."

Solo's mind raced, and an invisible aura suddenly emanated from his body, enveloping him entirely.

Immediately afterwards, a more solid and sharper aura emerged, like countless tiny, invisible blades.

With himself as the axis, his internal energy and vital force began to rotate at high speed!

call--!

At first, it was just a disturbance in the airflow around him, but in the blink of an eye, it affected the sand and gravel within a radius of hundreds of meters.

Countless grains of sand and gravel were swept up and accelerated by this rotating force, forming a miniature sandstorm with a diameter of over 100 meters centered on him!

The sandstorm was frantically devouring the surrounding matter, expanding in size at a visible rate.

Following this trend, it could grow into a small sandstorm tornado with an impact range of several thousand meters or even nearly ten thousand meters in less than half a day.

At that time, this area will become a dead zone that any living being will actively avoid.

Solo is not worried about the sandstorm getting out of control.

The invisible force at the heart of the storm that guides its rotation originates from him. With a thought, he can reverse the force, thus disrupting the storm's structure from within and causing it to dissipate rapidly.

As long as it doesn't accumulate to the point of forming a medium-sized sandstorm affecting an area of ​​tens of thousands of meters, everything is within a controllable range.

The initial injection of energy was far from sufficient to support such power of heaven and earth.

Solo glanced one last time at the bottomless crevice beneath his feet and the sandstorm that began to roar and swirl around him. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he leaped headfirst, plummeting like a meteor straight into the depths of the earth's "one eye"!

The wind whistled past my ears, and the rock walls on either side rushed upwards. My spiritual senses, like a beacon in the darkness, clearly illuminated the surrounding scenery:

On the steep rock face, countless rock larvae wriggle and climb. They are of various shapes and sizes, like terrifying maggots attached to the intestines of a giant beast. Their sheer number is enough to make anyone with trypophobia shudder.

"It really is a massive breeding ground..." Solo thought coldly. "So, the mature individuals, especially the big ones, are hidden even deeper inside?"
