Chapter 2315: 1071, soul power
“`
In the chamber, Han Muye watched as chunks of Source Stones shattered before him.
The Source Stones he had obtained from Daoist Cang Ming contained Source Power a hundred times that of ordinary Source Stones, likely what Xun Hao and others referred to as Origin Jade.
Source Stones, fine-grade Source Stones, Origin Jade.
It is said that Origin Jade can only be found in the deep parts of the Great Origin Stone Vein.
As the Source Power from all the Source Stones infused into his body, Han Muye’s meridians, like dried-up streams, were continuously struck and filled.
One by one, the acupoints lit up, drawing the Flowing Light within them to merge with the strength of the meridians in his body.
At this moment, Han Muye had infused Source Power into all eight of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, lighting up a total of eight thousand acupoints.
According to the standards of the ninth floor of the Rebirth Realm involving the penetration of the eight meridians and the lighting of three hundred and sixty acupoints, Han Muye’s current strength was more than twenty times that of an ordinary Rebirth Realm ninth level.
With such combat strength, even a cultivator from the Physical Body Mystery Hiding Realm would not be much better.
However, his Source Power was still thin, and he did not have enough to unleash his full strength many times.
“The entire Supreme Realm is troubled by insufficient Source Power, which is why they rely on the power of weapons and talismans in battle.”
Low-level cultivators enhance themselves with the power of talismans, while those in the Mystery Concealment Realm mainly rely on the power of weapons.
Having faced off with those cultivators from the Supreme Realm in the Divine Abyss, Han Muye had already sensed their reliance on and skill with the power of weapons.
Regrettably, such weapons were not to be found in the Nine Mysteries Dao, let alone the entire Nine Mysteries Mountain Range.
Circularing his Source Power to stabilize his cultivation, Han Muye was now at the ninth level of the Rebirth Realm.
To breakthrough to the Mystical Hidden Realm, all the opened acupoints and meridians must be infused, and Han Muye still needed a massive amount of Source Stones.
He opened his hand, revealing a fragment of a talisman, shattered, in his palm.
This talisman wasn’t drawn on talisman paper, but rather, it was engraved on green jade.
“Soul power?”
The engraving of the talisman didn’t just involve the use of Source Power; it also required the strength of the soul from those at the Soul Concealment level of the Mystical Hidden Realm.
No wonder this thing, though appearing simple, was rarely available.
In today’s Supreme Realm, since the Dao Merge no longer exists and Mystery Concealment is the peak, those in the Soul Concealment are among the very strongest. Who would be willing to use up their own soul power to refine such talismans for use in combat by low-level cultivators?
As he held the shattered green jade, a thread of faint Source Power poured in.
“Hum—”
Dark images began to flicker across Han Muye’s mind.
“Huh…”
He hadn’t expected the talisman to have been engraved by a cultivator from the Soul Hidden Boundary.
Instead, this talisman came from the most powerful sect in the Nine Mysteries Mountain Range, the True Dao Sect.
The disciples of the True Dao Sect skilled in the Practice of Talisman would engrave the embryo of the talisman, then place it on a stone platform.
Behind that stone platform stood the figures of eight people, each bound by golden Flowing Light Chains.
Unity Realm Stage.
These eight cultivators from the Unity Realm Stage had awakened from the ancient times, their power no longer matching this era, unable to Merge Dao, their cultivation lost.
But their souls were still strong, siphoned off bit by bit, they could infuse it into the talismans.
Not just into talismans.
In the center of the stone platform, a three-foot-long sword hovered.
The images in his mind dispersed, and a smile appeared on Han Muye’s face.
The True Dao Sect must be quite wealthy, right?
Could they have a lot of Source Stones?
————————————————
Qin Family.
Located at the foot of Nine Mystic Mountain, the Qin Family was the strongest clan within a hundred miles, controlling hundreds of miles around and nearly a hundred thousand acres of spiritual fields.
The Patriarch of the Qin Family, the old ancestor Qin Mingtang, was a powerful figure of the seventh level of the Detachment Realm.
However, Qin Mingtang was now at the eighth level of the Detachment Realm, making him one of the top figures within thousands of miles around the Nine Mysteries Mountain Range.
It was also for this reason that the Qin Family had recently formed close ties with several major sects, preparing to swallow up some small sects, then establish themselves as a sect.
They were no longer satisfied with just being a Cultivating Family; they aimed to become a major sect.
“`
At this moment, within the grand hall of the Qin family, Qin Mingtang sat at the head, his face dark with gloom.
Below him, a multitude of Qin family experts all wore grave expressions.
In the center, a man in his forties appeared utterly bewildered.
“Patriarch, I did indeed receive a Gale Colt, but I didn’t have anyone go to shear the spiritual fields to feed it.”
“Patriarch, it’s just a Gale Colt, I have no reason to go to the Nine Mysteries Dao and shear their spiritual fields.”
Qin Feng was the third eldest of the Qin family’s second generation, with cultivation abilities already reaching the sixth layer of the Rebirth Realm.
He had obtained a Gale Colt some time ago, which was a real treasure.
Yet he had no idea why, just because of his Gale Colt, the Qin family had sparked a fierce conflict with the Nine Mysteries Dao.
The key point was, it seemed that the Qin family had suffered a huge loss this time.
“Third Brother, you didn’t send anyone to shear the spiritual fields, but those who wanted to curry favor with you did.”
A voice rose in the great hall.
“Exactly, the spiritual fields are the lifeline of the Nine Mysteries Dao. Going to shear them at this time would naturally lead them to fight desperately. No matter how you look at it, the Nine Mysteries Dao has been an inheritance for thousands of years, and there should be some reverence for these sects.”
Another person spoke out.
“I, I—” Qin Feng clenched his fists, his face flushed with the inability to argue.
What could he say?
Was he able to go and rescue the likes of Elder Qin Yue, who had fallen into the hands of the Nine Mysteries Dao?
Elder Qin Yue’s cultivation and combat strength were not much less than his, and among the other elders who had fallen into the Nine Mysteries Dao, two were also at the sixth layer of the Rebirth Realm.
Qin Feng was self-aware, knowing he had absolutely no chance of rescuing anyone from the hands of the Nine Mysteries Dao.
“Enough,” the family ancestor sitting at the forefront waved his hand and looked around, “Speaking of these matters now is useless.”
“The Nine Mysteries Dao wants our Qin family to pay a ransom of one hundred thousand Source Stones.”
One hundred thousand Source Stones!
The entire Qin family’s assets weren’t worth one hundred thousand Source Stones.
Upon the great hall, everyone’s faces twitched.
“I negotiated with Daoist Hu Yu and managed to cut the price down to eight thousand Source Stones,” the patriarch said, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.
“However, the Nine Mysteries Dao also wants three hundred acres of our spiritual fields.”
At this statement, everyone in the hall was taken aback.
The spiritual fields were also the foundation of the Qin family.
“Patriarch, we can’t give them the spiritual fields!”
“Patriarch, let’s fight the Nine Mysteries Dao! We can’t give them our spiritual fields.”
Shocked exclamations erupted in the hall.
Qin Mingtang snorted coldly and looked around, “If we don’t give, do you want to see your ancestor hunted down by the Nine Mysteries Dao?”
Instantly, the hall fell silent.
“The Nine Mysteries Dao has old ancestors returning, and this time they are bound to battle the Light Spirit Taoist Sect.”
“If the Nine Mysteries Dao emerges victorious, then our Qin family will have to rely on them.”
“If the Nine Mysteries Dao is defeated by the Light Spirit Taoist Sect, then it will be easy to deal with.”
“What they have eaten from me, I will have them spit out; what they have taken from me, I will have them return,” Qin Mingtang’s eyes showed depth as he clenched his fists.
Eight thousand Source Stones and three hundred acres of spiritual fields, it pained him as much as if he were cutting flesh from himself.
“Patriarch, the Light Spirit Taoist Sect has made a move!”
Outside the great hall, a voice rang out, and an elder in a green robe quickly approached.
At these words, Qin Mingtang and all in the great hall showed a glint of joy on their faces.
“What’s the situation? How many people did they send?”
Qin Mingtang asked in a low voice.
“Reporting to the Patriarch, they sent eight people and brought thirty thousand Source Stones, exchanging them to retrieve Daoist Cang Ming and the others from the Light Spirit Taoist Sect who were lost to the Nine Mysteries Dao,” answered the elder.
