CHAPTER 601: CHAPTER 601: KING REALM

"Star Soul Fruit!"

"Star Soul Immortal Fruit!"

"Soul Ascending Pill!"

"King Thought Soldier!"

"Soul Returning Pill!"

"Inferior King Spirit Technique!"

...

Gazing at the treasures floating in the air within the vault, Ling Chen’s expression became increasingly excited.

Half an hour later.

"Most of these are related to the Divine Soul!"

Ling Chen frowned slightly.

The excitement in his eyes gradually faded.

He had already browsed through most of the treasures in Vault Area No. 9.

However, there were few treasures related to Spiritual Power.

Ever since he was promoted to the Palace Mansion Realm, he had hardly showcased his Divine Soul Telekinesis.

But this time, the rewards were all related to the Divine Soul, which was somewhat peculiar.

Of course, there were also a few King Grade Elixirs among the treasures, such as the King Promotion Pill.

For Ling Chen, what was most important now were treasures that could enhance his Spiritual Power Cultivation.

Weapons, Spirit Arts, Mind Techniques, he did not care for them.

"If there’s nothing to enhance Spiritual Power, then I can only look for something that enhances the Divine Soul."

Ling Chen thought to himself.

Unable to increase his Spiritual Power Cultivation, Ling Chen had no choice but to shift his focus to improving his Divine Soul Cultivation.

"Ling Chen, take your time, no need to rush!"

Elder Xue stood patiently at the entrance without urging him.

He even came over to comfort Ling Chen.

He also felt that the Sect Master clearly had reservations about Ling Chen this time.

Logically speaking, with Ling Chen’s exceptional performance, in other sects, he would likely be treasured immensely.

But within the Burning Flame Sect, it seemed that he was being suppressed by the Young Sect Master.

"I hope that the people of the Starlight Pavilion do not come into contact with Ling Chen!"

Elder Xue prayed in his heart.

If the Starlight Pavilion knew of Ling Chen’s talent, they would probably come to recruit him.

Disciples of the Burning Flame Sect cannot always remain within the sect.

From time to time, they need to go out for experiential training.

This provided opportunities for the Starlight Pavilion.

Although the Burning Flame Sect still nominally dominated the Eastern Domain of Qing Province, it was no longer as stable as before.

The Starlight Pavilion was the Burning Flame Sect’s biggest competitor.

"Um."

Ling Chen responded with a slight smile to Elder Xue.

Then he continued to search.

"Eh? This is the Ice Soul Nascent Soul Pill!"

A quarter of an hour later, Ling Chen’s eyes sharpened, focusing on a Jade Bottle floating in the air.

His right hand erupted with suction, drawing the Jade Bottle towards him.

The moment his right hand touched the Jade Bottle, a screen of light appeared, with dense text emerging on it.

"Ice Soul Nascent Soul Pill, suitable for Upper-Grade High-Level Divine Thought Masters to consume, has a fifty percent chance of promoting to a King Grade Divine Thought Master..."

This was the description of the Ice Soul Nascent Soul Pill.

Now, Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Cultivation had reached the latter stages of the Transformation Realm, not far from the King Realm.

If he consumed this pill, there was a great chance he could be promoted to a King Grade Divine Thought Master!

"It’s you!"

Ling Chen made his decision.

During the past moments, most of the treasures he saw were still mostly related to the Divine Soul.

A surge of Spiritual Power infused, and the Jade Bottle immediately fell into his hands.

"Have you decided?"

Seeing this, Elder Xue walked over curiously.

"Um."

Ling Chen nodded.

"What is your choice?"

Elder Xue asked.

Ling Chen opened the Jade Bottle and smiled, "Ice Soul Nascent Soul Pill!"

"This is an elixir that can only be consumed when advancing from the late stage of the Transformation Realm to the King Realm, why do you need this?"

Elder Xue asked incredulously.

Suddenly, his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Are you an Upper-Grade High-Level Divine Thought Master?"

"Yes."

Ling Chen nodded.

"You are actually a genius who cultivates both Divine Soul and Spiritual Power?"

Elder Xue showed a look of shock in his eyes.

Cultivating the Divine Soul is far more difficult than cultivating Spiritual Power.

With Ling Chen’s age, even if he were in the later stages of the Transformation Realm, he would still be considered a top-tier genius.

What’s more, Ling Chen is also a King in the late third layer of the Palace Mansion Realm!

Ling Chen smiled faintly and said, "I also have some talent in Divine Soul, so I cultivate it alongside the other."

He possesses the Sunlight Holy Body.

Naturally, he would not give up cultivating the Divine Soul.

Moreover, now, with nothing particularly urgent to attend to, and the sect’s treasure vault not having any artifacts that cultivate Spiritual Power which caught his fancy, he chose the Ice Soul Nascent Soul Pill.

After a moment of stunned silence, Elder Xue nodded and said, "You are qualified, and this Elixir is not bad."

He knew that the majority of the treasures here were for cultivating the Divine Soul.

Artifacts for cultivating Spiritual Power would only catch the eye of cultivators below the third layer of the Palace Mansion Realm.

But Ling Chen, with his strength far surpassing the third layer of the Palace Mansion Realm, would not be interested in them.

With Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power Cultivation in the later stages of the Transformation Realm, taking the Ice Soul Nascent Soul Pill is indeed a very good choice.

Ling Chen smiled and said, "Then, Elder Xue, I’ll be leaving now."

"Mhm."

Elder Xue nodded.

Watching Ling Chen’s departing figure, Elder Xue sighed and shortly after left the place himself.

...

In his residence.

Ling Chen did not rush to take the Ice Soul Nascent Soul Pill.

Instead, he worked on enhancing his Spiritual Power.

As night fell.

Ling Chen immediately activated the Sunlight Holy Body, absorbed the power of Moonlight, and tempered his flesh.

Only when he had adjusted himself to peak condition,

did Ling Chen take out the Ice Soul Nascent Soul Pill and swallow it.

Instantly, a boundless energy was released.

Soon after, this energy converged towards his Sea of Consciousness.

Within the Sea of Consciousness.

A miniature version of Ling Chen stood at the center.

It was Ling Chen’s Divine Soul.

As the energy converged, the small Ling Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and with a wide mouth, a powerful suction force was unleashed, swallowing the energy up like a whale consumes water.

With the intake of energy, the small Ling Chen gradually became more solid.

At the Transformation Realm, the Divine Soul is still somewhat ethereal.

It only has the capacity to switch between tangible and intangible.

But at the King Realm, the Divine Soul is incredibly solid.

As real as any physical object.

Visible and tangible.

To advance to becoming a King Grade Divine Thought Master, what one needs to do is to solidify the Divine Soul.

Time slowly passed.

The energy from the Ice Soul Nascent Soul Pill was absorbed by Ling Chen’s Divine Soul.

The Divine Soul likeness gradually became solid.

First the skeleton.

Then the flesh and blood.

Followed by the skin.

Finally, the hair, eyes, and so on.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, within Ling Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, a small person vividly appeared.

The exact likeness of Ling Chen.

Suddenly, Ling Chen opened his eyes.

Below in his Sea of Consciousness, the small Ling Chen, at the same moment, also sharply opened his eyes.

"King Realm!"

Ling Chen’s lips curled into a smile, and a hint of excitement emerged.

Feeling the powerful Divine Soul Telekinesis, Ling Chen’s eyes slowly revealed a surge of exhilaration.

Thanks to the Ice Soul Nascent Soul Pill, he finally elevated his Divine Soul to the King Realm!

"Come out!"

Ling Chen shouted softly, and a small figure emerged from the top of his head.

It was Ling Chen’s Divine Soul.

After reaching the King Realm, the Divine Soul can be summoned out.

Even if the body is destroyed, as long as the Divine Soul still exists, he can continue to live.

"I am finally a King Grade Divine Thought Master now!"

Ling Chen excitedly recalled his Divine Soul back to himself.

Though it was only the early stages of the King Realm, due to the enhancement from the Sunlight Holy Body, his Divine Soul Telekinesis might be no less than that of an ordinary mid-stage King Realm Divine Thought Master.

With his current strength of Divine Soul, ordinary Kings below the fourth layer of the Palace Realm would probably be unable to withstand his attack.
