Chapter 17 The Soul Beasts on the Verge of Extinction
Vertical day.
As dawn broke, the soft light filtered through the curtains, gently scattering throughout the room, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
Jiang Xiu ended his meditation, slowly opened his eyes, and a golden light shone in his purple pupils, making him appear quite divine.
"Master's Body Meditation Method is indeed highly efficient. In at most two and a half weeks, I can break through to level fourteen."
Feeling the abundant soul power within his body, Jiang Xiu thought with renewed vigor that after returning from the Abyss Plane yesterday, his master Mu Ye taught him the Body Sect's unique meditation method, and he had replaced sleep with meditation.
Compared to ordinary meditation methods, the meditation method of the Body Sect is obviously more efficient. After all, it is the foundation of a sect, just like the Xuan Tian Gong of the Tang Sect.
"However, we need to establish a legion commander in the Abyss as soon as possible, otherwise we'll waste too much time."
Jiang Xiu got out of bed, stretching his limbs as he pondered.
He spends his days in the Douluo Continent and his nights meditating and cultivating. When he is not in the Abyss, his Shadow Legion cannot expand, and he is not yet able to multitask.
Therefore, having a wise legion commander is essential, so that even if he cultivates in the Douluo plane, his Shadow Legion can continue to grow.
After all, the Shadow Legion doesn't need rest, so he can exploit them ruthlessly... becoming the number one exploiter of the Abyss.
"Bang bang bang!"
Just then, a crisp knock came from outside the room, followed by Makino's voice.
"Take a short break, hurry up and get up and wash up. We still have to go to the Spirit Ascension Platform this morning. Tower Master Leng has already sent someone to remind us."
"Master Ma"
Jiang Xiu replied loudly, then washed up and took out clothes from his storage soul tool, changing into a white outfit embroidered with cranes.
The soul tool and the clothes inside were bought for him by Mu Ye yesterday and sent to him along with the meditation method. After all, Jiang Xiu's family property was wiped out with that abyss tide, and his federal card has not yet been replaced.
"Hmm, not bad, very energetic, didn't embarrass yourself."
Looking at himself in the mirror, Jiang Xiu nodded in satisfaction. His smart outfit, paired with his handsome face, gave him the air of a spirited young man.
After tidying up, Jiang Xiu, led by Xiao Ling, went to the Spirit Pagoda for a meal. The Spirit Pagoda had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast for them, and each item was quite expensive.
"Tsk, this earthworm tendon isn't cooked properly. It's overcooked, which is a real waste of ingredients."
"Hmm, this Purple Jade Shrimp is quite good. My disciple, you should eat more. It contains the power of qi and blood."
As Makino tasted and commented on the food, he had already transformed into a seasoned chef.
"Hey! My disciple, you have to sip this ginseng porridge from the side; that's how you get the best flavor."
"Alright, the deputy tower master is already waiting for us at the Ascension Platform."
Seeing this, Han Tianyi glared at Mu Ye with annoyance. His junior apprentice was good at everything, except that he was obsessed with cooking and mecha all his life.
Soon, the three finished breakfast and, led by Han Tianyi, headed to the Ascension Platform at the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda.
On his way through the Spirit Pagoda's main hall, Jiang Xiu noticed a huge mural on the surrounding wall, depicting a man and a woman. These two were none other than Huo Yuhao, the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, and his wife, Tang Wutong.
"The original purpose of the Spirit Pagoda was to reduce the conflict between soul beasts and humans, and... well, it has achieved that to some extent now."
Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly as he thought to himself.
After all, the soul beast race is almost extinct, so conflicts naturally decrease, which is reasonable and has no problem.
I wonder what Huo Yuhao will think when he sees the current state of the soul beast race.
After passing through the lobby and entering the elevator, Han Tianyi took out a black and gold card and gently tapped it against the sensor area. The elevator automatically descended, and when it opened again, Jiang Xiu found that they had entered a circular metal room.
Inside the room, the entire structure was still made of metal, and a ring of huge soul-guided screens hung on the walls, displaying various images. It appeared to be a completely green world, resembling a jungle.
"Lord Leng, I apologize for keeping you waiting."
Makino waved to Leng Yaozhu, who was already waiting there.
"I knew it."
Jiang Xiu looked at Na'er beside Leng Yaozhu and thought to himself that he was right last night; Leng Yaozhu probably had other ideas.
"We just arrived recently, and Na'er just finished absorbing a soul spirit yesterday. She also needs to upgrade her soul ring's age. How about letting her and Xiao Xiu enter the Ascension Platform together?"
Leng Yaozhu's red lips curled slightly, and her phoenix eyes held a smile as she spoke to Mu Ye, but her gaze inadvertently swept over Jiang Xiu.
"No problem, this way the two of them can look after each other, since it's their first time entering the Spirit Ascension Platform."
Makino didn't think it was inappropriate and readily agreed. Besides, they were now using the Spirit Transmission Platform and the Spirit Transmission Tower, so refusing directly would be too disrespectful.
Na'er looked at Jiang Xiu with a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes. She felt that after one night, Jiang Xiu had a mysterious and inexplicable aura about him.
"Alright, let's begin."
With a slight wave of her hand, Leng Yaozhusu caused the metal wall to crack open, and two silver-white metal cabinets slowly slid out and stopped in front of Na'er and Jiang Xiu.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiu and Na'er went inside and lay down as instructed. Immediately, suction cups from various instruments emerged from around them and quickly adhered to parts of their bodies, fitting perfectly.
Last night, Makino also told Jiang Xiu about the various precautions for the Ascension Platform.
The Spirit Ascension Platform is a semi-virtual, semi-real world painstakingly constructed by the Spirit Pagoda. It contains countless spirit beasts that human spirit masters can absorb and train with.
Furthermore, these soul beasts are not true soul beasts, but are composed entirely of energy. When a soul master kills these soul beasts, they will be transformed into the purest energy, increasing the soul master's soul ring age.
Jiang Xiu and Na'er are both first-ring Soul Masters, so they entered the Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform. The Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform is suitable for Soul Masters below the Soul Grandmaster level. Most of the creatures inside are ten-year or hundred-year Soul Beasts, and occasionally a few thousand-year Soul Beasts will appear.
"Remember, if you encounter danger, press the distress signal button on your arm immediately."
As Leng Yaozhu's voice rang out, the hatch above Jiang Xiu and Na'er's heads slowly closed and retracted back into the metal wall, plunging the surroundings into darkness.
After the two entered the metal wall, only Leng Yaozhu and the other two remained in the large, circular metal room.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Xiu's martial soul shouldn't be limited to just his original form, right? I wonder if his other martial soul is the Sun, the Silver Moon, or perhaps the nearly extinct Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon?"
Seeing Jiang Xiu and Na'er successfully enter the Ascension Platform, Leng Yaozhu turned her head and looked at Mu Ye, asking in a slightly pointed tone.
"Hmm? What does Lord Leng mean by this?"
Mu Ye's eyes narrowed, and he asked in a calm voice. Mu Ye was not surprised that Leng Yaozhu was able to find out Jiang Xiu's identity.
"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions. I was just guessing that Xiao Xiu, as a descendant of the Sun and Moon royal family from ten thousand years ago, should inherit one of the three great martial souls. It seems that my guess was correct."
Leng Yaozhu's red lips curved into a slight smile.
"I believe Your Majesty is also aware of the royal coup that took place ten thousand years ago."
"Of course, after all, that matter is closely related to Spirit Ice Douluo, the founder of your Spirit Pagoda."
Mu Ye glanced at his uncle beside him, then nodded slightly.
