CHAPTER 541: CHAPTER 428: TIGER SKIN SKIRT_2
However, in the past few days, he has made a critical discovery.
This world is fundamentally different from the trial worlds he reincarnated into before. In the previous trial worlds, the levels of power were all limited.
Even in the world of the Dragon God, he could slay the mere Dragon God with a single sword strike.
But in this world, power has no limit. The Primordial Qi and Spiritual Qi mentioned here are exactly the same as Source Power...
In other words, the laws of power in this world are the same as those in his Interstellar Cosmos. He even suspects that the two worlds are within the same universe but simply far apart.
Regardless of the truth, everything he has learned can be applied here. Of course, his Spiritual Power is still restricted.
After many reincarnations, Gao Xuan has already understood one thing: this limitation is not imposed by the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada but by the differences in world rules, which naturally limit his Spiritual Power.
Reaching this point, Gao Xuan fully understands the difference between Spiritual Power and Divine Soul.
Simply put, Spiritual Power is akin to the body, while the Divine Soul is consciousness and will.
He is now in a state where his physical body is extremely strong, but his consciousness and will are not very strong.
Each reincarnation can only be a rebirth of the Divine Soul. Spiritual Power cannot be carried over because it is merely attached to the Divine Soul.
A pure Divine Soul has limited Spiritual Power to leverage.
Of course, Gao Xuan knew before that Divine Soul and Spiritual Power are two different forces on different levels. However, the two are closely related.
Until the continuous reincarnations in the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada World, the weakness of his Divine Soul not matching his Spiritual Power was fully exposed.
In the previous world, Zang Tiejun said at his death that he did not have a sincere heart for Martial Dao.
Zang Tiejun was just unwilling to die. Yet his words made Gao Xuan realize that he indeed lacked a sincere heart.
In his eyes, all these powers, body, spirit, Source Power, Divine Soul, are all just tools. He has no particular preference for any of these powers.
Whichever power is stronger and more suitable for him, he cultivates.
This wasn’t a problem initially. However, in the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada Trial World, his calm and detached attitude hindered his compatibility with the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada.
The Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada puts him through trials in different worlds to train his Divine Soul and achieve oneness with it on the level of the Divine Soul.
Thus, each time his power reached its peak, the trial was completed. For in the process of seeking power, Gao Xuan’s Divine Soul made no progress.
Once power reached its peak, it was meaningless to linger.
Gao Xuan sensed that if in this world he could not enhance his Divine Soul and bond with the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada, he would lose it forever.
Moreover, the power in this world is so immense. The power in the Interstellar Cosmos had its limits, but in this world, Source Power, or rather, Primordial Qi, is endless.
In this vast world, he needs to find the path most suitable for himself to train his Divine Soul and harmonize with the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada.
Reaching that point, he will be able to acquire the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada and leave the trial world to return to his own universe.
This is his last chance, and he must seize it. Even if he doesn’t obtain the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada, he must strengthen his Divine Soul.
The Divine Soul is the root of everything! The Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada repeatedly reminds him of this.
To become a god, having powerful Spiritual Power is not enough; the key is the strength of the Divine Soul.
Gao Xuan also suddenly understood the might of the Godslaying Sword. This sword can directly cut through the Divine Soul. It is only this way it can kill gods through special laws.
Unfortunately, his Divine Soul is limited by the laws of this world. Powerful marvels like the Godslaying Sword, Hongyi Sword, Celestial Spirit Sword Box, and Mechanical Combat Body cannot be used.
The secret techniques he learned can be used, but due to the limitations of this body’s physical and his own Divine Soul level, their power cannot be fully unleashed.
The Thick Earth Sect has been passed down for thousands of years. Although now impoverished and declining, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse.
Currently, the Thick Earth Sect has three powerful magical artifacts.
The first one is the Central Wuxu Treasure Pearl he wears on his wrist, consisting of twelve beads, all earthy yellow, with smooth and round surfaces like amber.
The Central Wuxu Treasure Pearl serves as the Thick Earth Sect’s supreme treasure that suppresses the sect’s fortune.
Over thousands of years, this supreme treasure has been damaged multiple times and is now just a single powerful magical artifact.
In Gao Xuan’s hands, the power it can wield is limited. The most direct transformation is manifesting into Profound Yellow Warriors, which Gao Xuan can remotely control with Divine Sense.
In this body, Gao Xuan’s Divine Sense can at most simultaneously activate four Thick Earth Puppets, and even then, he can’t sustain it for long.
The so-called Divine Sense is essentially Spiritual Power.
According to the Interstellar Era’s standards, this body’s Divine Sense is only at the level of a Tenth-level Swordsman.
Judging by his age, of course, he is a very remarkable talent. Among his peers in the Five Elements Sect, he should rank among the top few.
However, in the sect competition, all the sects deploy their best masters to fight for victory. Being formidable among the juniors is of no use.
Besides the Central Wuxu Treasure Pearl, there’s also the Nine Peaks Daoist Robe, which is the one he wears.
The so-called Nine Peaks refers to nine Divine Mountains. This robe is acclaimed as the top defensive treasure of the Five Elements Sect. Just standing there, the nine peaks shield him, rendering him unmovable regardless of the opponent’s countless spells.
At present, the power of the Nine Peaks Daoist Robe is quite ordinary. In Gao Xuan’s hands, its potential is hard to fully utilize.
The last treasure is Old Huang. This fellow is said to be a descendant of the Tengu, with the ability to swallow mountains. Tamed by the predecessors of the Thick Earth Sect, it has acted as their Divine Beast.
