Chapter 339: Soul Clairvoyance, Three Divine Palaces (End of This Volume)

Qi Tian watched, a little shocked, as Zhao Xing ascended step by step, traversing a new level almost every dozen breaths. "Is he really that powerful?" He couldn't understand it, but he was profoundly shaken!

The trials of Soul of Destiny, Karma, and Rebirth became progressively more difficult. Qi Tian himself had walked sixteen steps, encountering sixteen different reincarnation illusions: sometimes a noble family, sometimes a street beggar, sometimes a general in wartime, sometimes a courtesan from a brothel. Each rebirth illusion was incredibly real, spanning an entire lifetime. Considering the age requirement, everyone who entered was under four hundred years old. This meant they had only lived for four hundred years in their current life, yet the illusions could last for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Which memory, then, was real? It was exceedingly difficult to see through the illusions and escape them. Yet, Zhao Xing's speed in clearing the trials was astonishing, surpassing Qi Tian's comprehension. "How exactly did he do it?"

Zhao Xing couldn't answer Qi Tian's question, as he didn't know the reason himself. "Is it because I don't have a Heavenly Soul? That shouldn't be the case; my Heavenly Soul has resided in the Heavenly Soul Temple and been integrated into the Great Zhou's destiny dynasty system ever since I earned merit on the Pacification Battlefield during Emperor Jing's reign. I have a Heavenly Soul, but there were no trials..." Zhao Xing was completely bewildered. He also suspected he might be in an illusion, recalling a supremely real illusion he'd experienced on the Pacification Battlefield, which was when he had apprenticed himself to Liu Tianning in a dream. That sensation had been equally real. Even though insights into the Three-Deity Soul Palace were now appearing in his mind, Zhao Xing proceeded with a degree of doubt. When Zhao Xing reached the thirtieth step, his expression was peculiar. He hadn't encountered any trials at all, right up until he cleared the stage! At the same time, his understanding of the Three-Deity Soul Palace was complete; he had successfully mastered this minor divine ability!

"I really made it," Zhao Xing mused, finding it strange. "The minor divine ability, Three-Deity Soul Palace, is mastered. Now, as soon as I activate it, I can construct my Soul Palace and break through to the First Rank." After checking and finding no anomalies, Zhao Xing stopped pondering, as Su Xianzi's Law-Establishing Avatar had also appeared. "Congratulations, you have passed the final trial. Please enter," Su Xianzi's Law-Establishing Avatar said, appearing at the hall entrance and gesturing for him to come in. Zhao Xing glanced back, only to see that Qi Tian, who had been on the stairs below, was gone. "When you successfully clear the trial, all other inheritors are released," Su Xianzi explained. "There is a balance of Yin and Yang, and life and death are destined. I only remove their inheritance memories; I do not kill them." Zhao Xing nodded. Su Xianzi had likely received guidance from someone in the Reincarnation Divine Kingdom by chance, and her principles of action were deeply influenced by it.

Following Su Xianzi into the main hall, Zhao Xing noticed an assortment of peculiar, oddly shaped artifacts displayed within. Some evoked discomfort, others a genuine sense of joy, and still others a feeling of anger. "I am a Battle Soul Master," Su Xianzi introduced herself. "There are many schools of Soul Dao in the universe: Mind Illusionists specializing in soul illusions, Soul Keepers who study the mysteries of life and death and can revive the dead, and the enigmatic school of Soul Curses. I, however, am a Battle Soul Master, primarily focused on combat. Of course, the Soul Dao is compatible with many other daos, and I also know several ultimate martial techniques. I hail from the Purple Deity Mansion of the Ancient Yuanhai Kingdom. My exceptional performance there earned me an opportunity to study in the Reincarnation Divine Kingdom, where I was fortunate enough to comprehend the minor divine ability 'Three-Deity Soul Palace'..." Zhao Xing listened quietly to Su Xianzi's account. Her performance in the Purple Deity Mansion alone indicated she was even more outstanding than Qing Yuzi, as opportunities to study in the Reincarnation Divine Kingdom were exceedingly rare.

"...A long time ago, we were unfortunately targeted by enemies and were forced to come to the Profound Yellow Realm..." What Su Xianzi said next was largely consistent with Qing Yuzi's account. It was all a story of misfortune, just from different perspectives. Practitioners of the Soul Dao either remained unharmed or suffered severe injuries when struck. Su Xianzi had fallen into a brief slumber due to her injuries, and by the time she recovered, Qing Yuzi had already established the Yu Dynasty. Another difference was that Su Xianzi's inheritor needed to swear a Soul Vow in the Profound Yellow Realm to assist Qing Yuzi's successor, the "eldest brother," in attacking the Southern Barbarians until they left the Profound Yellow Realm. Since the Earth Deity Pill could not be used in the Profound Yellow Realm, and the Soul Vow set by Su Xianzi could not be broken there, the alliance of these three was essentially unbreakable. "I'm leading myself?" Zhao Xing couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this.

The third difference: Qing Yuzi left behind numerous treasures. However, as a primary combatant, Su Xianzi had essentially exhausted all her treasures at the time, and she herself had been struck into a deep slumber. She only left behind one treasure, called the Ethereal Soul Ring. It was an advanced version of the Secondary Ring, a top-grade Astral Dao Weapon. Its effects were far superior to the Secondary Ring, possessing all its capabilities and more. It also had one crucial effect: upon being attacked, it would immediately traverse through the void, carrying the soul away from the battlefield, and automatically seek a suitable place for the host to recover. A major reason Qing Yuzi, Puta, and others came to the Profound Yellow Realm was that they followed the direction of Su Xianzi's Ethereal Soul Ring, coincidentally discovering the Profound Yellow Realm nearby. "Finding a suitable place for the host to recover... it really found a good one. It found the Profound Yellow Realm right away." Zhao Xing looked at the ring, a mix of amusement and helplessness. Recovery was achieved, but escape was impossible. Finding a prison was quite something.

*Hum* Su Xianzi vanished after relaying everything. Zhao Xing felt no regret; after all, Su Xianzi's greatest treasure was the "Three-Deity Soul Palace"! The value of this minor divine ability was paramount. By bringing the Heavenly and Earthly Souls into the Soul Palace, the three deities would become one, freeing him from further karmic entanglement. As those who practiced it were difficult to track and locate, this divine ability was essential for assassination and arson. "The Ethereal Soul Ring, the Secondary Soul Ring, two treasures, and the 'Three-Deity Soul Palace' divine ability. Perhaps in the future, I can use this connection to reach a significant figure in the Reincarnation Divine Kingdom." "Su Xianzi cultivated the Three-Deity Soul Palace and left behind many insights and self-created secret techniques. One of her ultimate methods even holds the potential to reach the divine ability level?" In Zhao Xing's palm was a jade tablet, containing Su Xianzi's cultivation insights. "Soul Heaven-Sight, an ultimate method with the potential to reach the divine ability level... and it was specifically prepared for attacking the Southern Barbarians," Zhao Xing thought.

After their failure years ago, Qing Yuzi, Puta, and Su Xianzi did not give up, but made numerous attempts. The Southern Barbarians' Heaven-Earth Severance was an incredibly powerful divine ability. Qing Yuzi and the others believed this ability was connected to the Profound Yellow Realm's origin and, in specific territories, far surpassed the divine abilities they themselves had comprehended. Forcibly breaking it was almost impossible. However, they still found some ways to increase their chances of victory. "Su Xianzi's divine ability research direction: Soul Heaven-Sight. It's a probing secret technique, similar to the Heavenly Eye method I previously cultivated. However, creating a divine ability from scratch is extremely difficult; she only researched it to the sixth transition of the ultimate method before she couldn't continue. Qing Yuzi's divine ability: Purple Light Eight Eras. This was something he had originally comprehended, and after his failed ascension in the Profound Yellow Realm, he made some improvements to it specifically for the Southern Barbarians' Heaven-Earth Severance. Puta also left behind an ultimate mechanical method targeting the Southern Barbarians, known as the 'Sky-Penetrating Dao Weapon Art.' It also held the potential to reach the divine ability level, and when combined with the final inheritance treasure, the 'Purple Deity Puppet,' theoretically, mechanical puppets would no longer become ineffective upon entering the Heaven-Earth Severance's range. Now that both inheritance locations have settled, we only need to await the conclusion of the mechanical inheritance trial," Zhao Xing reflected, recalling Qing Yuzi's and Su Xianzi's instructions.

With a thought, Zhao Xing appeared inside the Three Deities Palace. His gaze swept towards the depths of the palace, where he saw the ongoing trials. "I finished Su Xianzi's inheritance quite quickly, in less than nine years. It's now the seventy-first year of Yuanshou. In nine years, there hasn't been much change in the Mechanical Inheritance Palace. Venerable Purple Bone, Chen Ju, and Yu Feiyang are still on the seventh trial. However, it seems Venerable Purple Bone is still considerably ahead." Zhao Xing could see that all three were constructing puppets in the seventh trial, and Venerable Purple Bone's progress appeared faster; his mechanical puppet was nearing completion, while the other two were significantly slower. Of course, this was Zhao Xing's observation from an outsider's perspective and not necessarily accurate.

"Let's go up!" Zhao Xing immediately flew out of the Purple Light Ruins and returned to the Juzi Palace. He had mastered the "Three-Deity Soul Palace," and next, he could construct his Soul Palace, integrate his Heavenly and Earthly Souls, and break through to the Soul Palace Realm. Before Zhao Xing left, Su Xianzi had expelled the eight trial participants. At that moment, the Karmic Illusion also ended.

"Master, you... huh?" Qing Yangzi, the current Sect Master of Qingyang Sect, suddenly changed his expression. Then he looked down at his hand and murmured, "So it was an illusion, such a powerful one. I've never seen such a method; it was too real..." A second ago, he had been trapped in the scene where he personally cast his master into purgatory, watching him struggle and roar—a scene that repeated countless times, from which he could never escape. Fearing his master might escape purgatory, he had constantly stared at the illusion, wanting to witness his master's death. "Now I'm free; it seems someone else got ahead. What a pity..." Qing Yangzi lamented greatly. To be able to create such a powerful trial stage, if he could have obtained the final inheritance, it would undoubtedly have been the greatest opportunity of his life. "I wonder if it was that mysterious man in black."

"It's over." Marquis Linghuan looked down and found himself still in an embracing posture, but the woman he had loved most was no longer in his arms. "I can still feel Xin'er's warmth, but it was only a dream." Marquis Linghuan felt a pang of pain; if he could, he would have chosen never to wake up. "Some people, once missed, are gone forever." Marquis Linghuan aimlessly moved his steps, departing from the area.

"Kill, kill, kill! No one can stop me from ascending to the throne!" A youth in splendid robes sought out an enemy in the void. Though he held no blade, blade energy surged around him, forming a dense mountain of sword qi that, merely by its presence, suffocated those nearby. "Thirteenth Prince!" Someone recognized him as a prince from the Southern Barbarian Purple Dragon Royal Court and quickly called out to awaken him. "Hmm?" Suddenly, all the blade energy vanished, retracting into his body. The Thirteenth Prince realized what had just happened. He coldly surveyed the surrounding crowd, then his gaze fixed on a man in black. "He's the one who obtained the inheritance. He entered the second trial earliest and progressed the fastest." The Thirteenth Prince's gaze was unfriendly; his essence qi surged as he brazenly scanned the other person.

"How strange..." Qi Tian murmured, "My memories are rapidly blurring. I seem to have seen something, comprehended something, but I can't retain it." Su Xianzi's main purpose was to erase the inheritance memories. Even though the "Three-Deity Soul Palace" was a minor divine ability, it couldn't be widely disseminated. There was only one inheritor; whatever others comprehended had to be erased. "Came for nothing." Qi Tian shook his head. Facing the Thirteenth Prince's provocation, he paid it no mind, merely glancing at the other person indifferently. "Ugh! Ugh!!" The Thirteenth Prince seemed to have his throat squeezed; he couldn't breathe at all, and all his essence qi seemed to solidify. His blade energy simply couldn't break through the invisible oppression. "Palace Lord, you're out?" Just then, two Heavenly Realm cultivators, who had been squatting outside trying to transform into 'gulu beasts,' rushed over. "Yes," Qi Tian nodded. "Was it fun?" "Palace Lord, did you succeed?" The two asked. "No, let's go." Qi Tian waved his hand, flying out of the ruins with the two. They quickly found a whirlpool-like sea eye, plunged into it, and vanished. It was only then that the Thirteenth Prince breathed a sigh of relief, as if a blade held to his neck had been removed. *Gasping sounds* "How terrifying. I've at least cultivated a Sixth-Tier Domain, yet with just one glance from him, I was utterly powerless to fight..." A hint of horror flickered in the Thirteenth Prince's eyes. "This is definitely a true Rule Realm expert." He no longer dared to be arrogant. Noticing the various strange gazes around him, he quickly flew away.

At Juzi Palace, Lu Ying immediately came out to greet him. Because Zhao Xing had given Lu Ying the Purple Deity General Order left by Qing Yuzi, Lu Ying could see the trials in real-time. Lu Ying was also the first to know of Zhao Xing's successful completion of the trial. "Zhao Xing, have you...?" Lu Ying asked expectantly. Although he knew Zhao Xing had already obtained the inheritance, he subconsciously asked. "Yes," Zhao Xing nodded. "But apart from you, no one else knows I received the inheritance for now." Su Xianzi's trial stage was completely inaccessible and unpredictable. After all, she had cultivated the Three-Deity Soul Palace, and her Dao field isolated karmic calculations. "Let them guess," Lu Ying chuckled. "Delay them as long as possible." "Lord Lu, please help me contact High Priest Wei Hong," Zhao Xing said. "I have an important matter to consult him about." "Alright, I'll contact him immediately." Lu Ying led Zhao Xing to a secret chamber and soon contacted Wei Hong through the Earth Realm. Currently, among the six principal officials of the Western Polar Glacier, only King Rahu, Liu Tianning, and Lu Ying remained. With no warfare for decades, High Priest Wei Hong had naturally withdrawn. In fact, Liu Tianning and Lu Ying had even left for a period, with only the Junior Director of Works and Junior Minister of Agriculture remaining stationed at the Western Polar Glacier. *Hum* Wei Hong's ethereal image quickly projected into the secret chamber via the Earth Realm. "Greetings, Lord Wei," Zhao Xing saluted. "Lord Zhao," Wei Hong returned the bow. "Congratulations on your emergence. What important matter do you specially seek my counsel for?" "Lord Wei," Zhao Xing got straight to the point, "I wish to ask you to petition His Majesty to release my Heavenly Soul." Wei Hong was currently in the capital, so approaching Ji Che would naturally expedite the process. To condense the Three-Deity Soul Palace and complete the breakthrough, his Heavenly Soul had to be released. "Very well, I'll go at once," Wei Hong promptly departed. "Lord Lu, please prepare a cultivation chamber for me," Zhao Xing said. "Cultivation chamber?" Lu Ying's eyes lit up. "Very well, follow me."

Deep within Juzi Palace, in a secret chamber. Zhao Xing sat cross-legged, calming his mind. "Normally, constructing a Soul Palace and entering the Soul Palace Realm merely involves containing and protecting the Soul of Destiny. Entering the Rule Realm, on the other hand, involves using a Rule Domain to borrow the power of heaven and earth's origin, thereby protecting one's Soul of Destiny and Earthly Soul from the outside in. This is why, in the Profound Yellow Realm, Soul Officials cannot predict the actions of Rule Realm practitioners. For martial artists, the method differs. For example, King Rahu's Soul of Destiny, Seven Souls, and Earthly Soul are all integrated, indistinguishable from each other. The physical body itself is the Soul Palace. For martial artists, the body is paramount. After integration, martial artists become significantly stronger, with incredibly abnormal defenses, like the Dragon-Elephant Golden Body, which is said to be able to break through all techniques, possessing high defense, high offense, and tenacious vitality. However, once a martial artist's physical body dies, it is true death. For spellcasting professions, physical death is not true death. As long as the Soul of Destiny survives, there's a chance to reshape a physical body. The Rule Realm generally became widespread in the Spirit Qi Era. It's also from the Rule Realm onwards that martial and magical cultivation began to diverge significantly," Zhao Xing recalled. "My breakthrough with the minor divine ability, Three-Deity Soul Palace, is from the inside out. My Soul Palace is constructed from the three souls, cultivating the three souls themselves, unlike other professions which use comprehended Rule Domains to draw upon the origin power of heaven and earth for construction. The essential difference is that my Soul Palace cultivates the Great Soul Dao. The three souls are inherently powerful and don't need protection from other daos. Others cultivate Yin-Yang and Five Elements, but ultimately, their Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Souls are still fragile and easily exploited by enemies. Even martial artists, without mastering such a divine ability, find it difficult to integrate the Heavenly Soul. And for my Soul Palace to form, even the Heavenly Soul must be integrated."

As Zhao Xing began cultivating, changes appeared in his Sea of Consciousness. First, his Soul of Destiny. Originally, in the vast Sea of Consciousness, only a thin layer of pale golden substance lay beneath his Soul of Destiny's feet—that was the foundation of his Soul Palace. Now, however, the golden light substance rapidly increased, and his Soul of Destiny ascended with it. Soon, a mountain appeared beneath the Soul of Destiny's feet! "The Spiritual Mountain Method nourishes heavenly destiny, forming the foundation of the Soul Palace upon breakthrough." Zhao Xing introspected his Sea of Consciousness, watching the golden mountain beneath his feet continuously rise. "Grow, grow, grow!" When the mountain's phantom reached a certain degree, the concept of height emerged in his Sea of Consciousness. "9999 meters." "This is the top-tier Spiritual Mountain Method left by Xuanyuan Qingtian, and it was also my bottleneck a long time ago." With a thought, a large amount of spiritual energy surged from the soil within his Pure Essence Space towards a central mountain range. "The mountain's height also rose to 9999 meters. In his Dantian Qi vortex, the earth veins within the Pure Essence soil also grew a mountain. The Dao of Minister of Agriculture, entering the Soul Palace Realm with the Spiritual Mountain Method, causes soil to grow mountains. As for the mountain phantom in my Sea of Consciousness, it's a manifestation of a profound foundation—soul power as thick and heavy as a mountain. This is the benefit of using the Spiritual Mountain Method to break into the Soul Palace." "Break!" Zhao Xing let out a low cry. The Spiritual Mountain phantom in his Sea of Consciousness and the Spiritual Mountain in his Pure Essence Space effortlessly broke through the ten-thousand-meter limit. At this moment, the shackles were broken by Zhao Xing, and he began the breakthrough process to the Soul Palace Realm.

Meanwhile, in the Spirit Ruin Blessed Land, Zhao Xing's cultivated Qi Tian Mountain underwent drastic changes. Wind surged, clouds gathered, and the earth trembled. The towering mountain, which had only been 9999 meters tall, now rapidly swelled at an astonishing rate: Thirteen thousand meters, sixteen thousand meters, nineteen thousand meters... The exaggerated growth immediately attracted everyone's attention. Nearby, 'Zhiming Mountain,' the peak of Xie Zhiming, a Minister of Agriculture in the Heavenly Destiny Realm and the twentieth peak in the Spirit Ruin Blessed Land, suddenly woke up and looked to the side, immediately witnessing a bizarre sight. "What's going on? Why is Qi Tian Mountain suddenly skyrocketing? Damn it, if it keeps growing like this, my mountain will be crushed!" Xie Zhiming quickly flew away. Sensing this situation, Zhao Xing, inside Juzi Palace, immediately paused his breakthrough: "I can't crush other people's spiritual mountains. Everyone has toiled for many years. If I crush their mountains, their accumulation in the Heavenly Destiny Realm will be for naught." Solving it was simple enough. He pulled out his Earth Realm communicator and contacted Qiu Yuanshan.

"Zhao Xing, you're looking for me?" Qiu Yuanshan's face appeared in the Earth Realm. "Dean Qiu, I'm about to break through. Please bring the Kunyuan Hoe and excavate all twenty-seven mountains surrounding my location in the Spirit Ruin Blessed Land, moving them elsewhere." Qiu Yuanshan, hearing Zhao Xing was about to break through, was first delighted, then puzzled: "Zhao Xing, we've already cleared a lot of space for your Qi Tian Mountain. Now you want me to move everyone else's mountains too? Is that really necessary?" Zhao Xing replied, "If Dean doesn't believe me, you can check the situation in the Spirit Ruin Blessed Land. I believe Xie Zhiming has already reported it." Qiu Yuanshan looked down and indeed received a message from Xie Zhiming. "Dean, Minister Zhao's mountain suddenly surged and is about to crush mine. Dean, come quickly and witness a marvel!" Xie Zhiming wasn't panicking at all; in fact, he was excited. He had a 'living is fine, dying is fine too' mentality. That's how it was after cultivating mountains for so long—their emotions were outrageously stable. Qiu Yuanshan looked up again: "Alright, I'll head to the Spirit Ruin Blessed Land with the Shennong Hoe immediately." "Dean, wait," Zhao Xing said. "While the Kunyuan Hoe can move mountains, spiritual mountains will inevitably be affected to some degree if they leave their original ge脈 positions. Dean, please inform those not in the Spirit Ruin Blessed Land that I will compensate them." Qiu Yuanshan laughed, "Compensation is a minor matter; the academy can handle it. Why be so formal with us? It wouldn't even matter if you truly squeezed them to burst."

After greeting Qiu Yuanshan, a phantom appeared on Qi Tian Mountain—it was Zhao Xing: "Masters of the twenty-eight mountains of the Spirit Ruin Blessed Land, I am Zhao Xing, Junior Minister of Agriculture." His voice boomed, echoing through the distant mountains. *Swish swish swish swish swish* Upon hearing his voice, every Minister of Agriculture from the Earthly Fortune Faction who was on their mountain rushed out. That was Zhao Xing! Many hadn't even seen the living Zhao Xing before! "Greetings, Junior Minister of Agriculture." "Greetings, King Zhao." Some cultivators on the mountains immediately flew up and cupped their hands towards the phantom. "I am about to break through. Please immediately open your formations; Dean Qiu will use the Shennong Hoe to move your peaks elsewhere. Any losses incurred by you today will be compensated later." Zhao Xing was about to break through, but there was only so much land. There was no other way but to move the mountains. "The Junior Minister of Agriculture is about to break through, what joyous news! Will this breakthrough create the ultimate Spiritual Mountain Method? Hahaha, what are my small losses? Minister Zhao's breakthrough is what truly matters! Dean Qiu, quickly dismantle them, dismantle them however you like!" The owners of the various peaks, far from being angry, were instead watching like it was a spectacle, clamoring for Qiu Yuanshan to dismantle the mountains, as if they weren't their own. "I've truly lived long enough to see everything. Everyone is so excited about dismantling mountains, even with the Shennong Hoe there will be some losses," Meng Kun, who accompanied Qiu Yuanshan, couldn't help but mutter. "Rise!" Qiu Yuanshan, holding the Shennong Hoe, dug up the surrounding mountains one by one and relocated them elsewhere. In a short while, the area around Zhao Xing's Qi Tian Mountain was completely empty. "Zhao Xing, the surrounding space is open! You can grow as much as you like!" Meng Kun waved to the phantom on the mountaintop. "Thank you, Dean Meng," Zhao Xing nodded to Meng Kun, then continued his spellcasting.

*Rumble* *Whoosh* The stagnant anomaly on the mountain peak began to move once more. Seasons rotated, flowers and plants swayed gracefully, winds surged, and the mountain peak soared straight up! "Good, excellent!" Meng Kun was so excited he gesticulated wildly. "Grow furiously!" Qiu Yuanshan rushed over from a distance, carrying his hoe, and scattered a handful of earth towards Qi Tian Mountain. Though it was just a handful of dirt, it covered the entire Qi Tian Mountain upon landing. "Thank you for your assistance, Dean." Zhao Xing's mountain peak grew from ten thousand meters all the way to a hundred thousand meters before stopping. This was the limit of the method created by Xuanyuan Qingtian. Meng Kun sighed, "A mountain growing to a hundred thousand meters in a single day is a marvel for all eternity. If the mountain is so high, how high must his realm be?" Qiu Yuanshan was equally astonished: "With such a phenomenon, Zhao Xing has probably broken straight through to the late stage of the Soul Palace Realm in one go." His guess was still not bold enough. At this moment, Zhao Xing had actually reached the perfected stage of the Soul Palace Realm in one go. First, his cultivation of the mountain in the Heavenly Destiny Realm had been long enough. Second, the Pure Essence soil within him had rapidly expanded due to spiritual energy irrigation. Third, his soul had cultivated a minor divine ability. The integration of essence, qi, and spirit allowed the Spiritual Mountain Method's effects to reach an unprecedented height. He reached the perfected stage of the Soul Palace Realm in one breath. "The Spiritual Mountain Method has no ultimate form; the limit of this mountain cultivation technique is here. To break through to the Rule Realm, I will need to comprehend an ultimate mountain method later. However, my soul can continue to improve."

Inside Zhao Xing's Sea of Consciousness, the golden mountain stopped growing, but his Soul of Destiny began to expand. The Soul of Destiny, originally a tiny speck compared to the vast mountain on its peak, now expanded as Zhao Xing activated the Three-Deity Soul Palace divine ability. It surpassed the perfected stage of the Soul Palace Realm, reaching the early stage of the Rule Realm. "My Soul of Destiny's strength has already reached the early Rule Realm first." A black long spear appeared before him. This was the Soul-Devouring Spear, which he had comprehended during the first soul trial. It had barely reached the power of the first transition of an ultimate technique. Previously, activating it had been strained, but now it was effortless. "The first transition Soul-Devouring Spear, which I had only recently comprehended, gained a three-hundred-fold increase in power thanks to my Soul of Destiny's amplification. My current soul power allows me to unleash tens of thousands of them simultaneously." It wasn't that he couldn't summon more, but if he did, their power would decrease, rendering it meaningless. Zhao Xing contentedly put away the Soul-Devouring Spear. "Next is to absorb the Karmic Soul." Zhao Xing cast a spell, drawing the three deities together. Soon, a phantom wrapped in threads appeared before him; this phantom was his Earthly Soul. "Absorb!" With Zhao Xing's low cry, a powerful suction emanated from his Sea of Consciousness. The threads on his Earthly Soul fell away, and then the Earthly Soul drilled into Zhao Xing's left eye. 'Deities hidden in the eyes' – this was the passage for the Earthly Soul to enter. A folk saying, 'left eye twitching brings wealth,' is a manifestation of the Karmic Soul's sensing ability. "Grow, grow, grow!" The Karmic Soul also expanded, landing on the mountaintop, standing opposite the Soul of Destiny. Soon, the Karmic Soul also grew to the same height as the Soul of Destiny. "Only the Heavenly Soul remains." Zhao Xing looked in the direction of the capital. "The Heavenly Soul travels through the Underworld; it would only take a few days to arrive." The Heavenly Soul was originally undetectable, but after reaching the Soul Palace Realm, he could sense it. "Released from the Heavenly Soul Temple, it would travel through the Underworld passage beneath Yongzhou." Its speed was rapid. Three days later, a transparent phantom with a faint white halo disregarded numerous obstacles and entered the secret chamber within Juzi Palace. "I still have a Heavenly Soul; I just don't know why the Heavenly Soul trial didn't take effect on me at the time. Never mind, don't overthink it. Absorb!" Zhao Xing cast another spell, absorbing the Heavenly Soul as well. *Whoosh* The process of the Heavenly Soul approaching the Soul Palace was extremely slow, as if something was obstructing its approach. "This is the suppression of heaven and earth's rules; the Profound Yellow Realm doesn't allow such formidable individuals to appear," Zhao Xing realized. "Even Law-Establishing Realm practitioners don't integrate the Heavenly Soul. Fortunately, at this time, the Qi tide has just begun, and the Profound Yellow Realm's rule suppression isn't very severe yet." If they entered the true Spirit Qi Era, integrating the Heavenly Soul would become extremely difficult. Su Xianzi had once warned that if the inheritor was not in a Spirit Qi Era, it was best to do this as early as possible, otherwise it would become increasingly difficult. "Absorb!" In his Sea of Consciousness, the Soul of Destiny and Earthly Soul simultaneously exerted force. Golden light blazed in his Sea of Consciousness, and both souls became radiant, while the Heavenly Soul's movement also quickened. Two days later, at noon, the Heavenly Soul, bearing a white halo, finally drilled into his Sea of Consciousness. The three deities converged, standing at the center of his Sea of Consciousness. With the arrival of the Heavenly Soul, the golden light within his Sea of Consciousness intensified. Initially, the golden light on the Soul of Destiny was dazzling, then it transferred to the Karmic Soul, finally transitioning to the Heavenly Soul. From then on, the Heavenly Soul also turned golden. All three souls completed their transformation, gaining immense power and reaching the early Rule Realm. "With the three souls entering the Soul Palace, no longer bound by the Five Elements, I am terrifyingly strong now." Zhao Xing opened his eyes, a faint smile on his face. He had finally mastered the minor divine ability, Three-Deity Soul Palace.
