Chapter 1900: Chapter 25: Star Alliance’s Top-Tier Combat Power (Part 2)
And Yeluo and the Plague need to guard the Original Realm, as the cycle of life and death in the Original Realm has yet to be perfected, they cannot leave.
Besides, even if they wanted to leave, it’s not feasible; they have already absorbed too much of the Original Realm’s aura. Their time in the First Universe will grow increasingly shorter, unless the Boundary Value of the Original Realm increases, allowing them to extend their activity time here.
So, if an emergency arises, it’s not feasible to call upon the Extraordinary Level every time to fight, like in a card game where someone plays a low pair, and you immediately drop a king bomb, it’s simply insane.
Zhang Xiaoman plans to look for opportunities to recruit some mid to late Control Level individuals to supplement the organization’s mid to high-end combat power group.
However, compared to recruiting directly from outside, he still prefers cultivating his own talents, but such cultivation requires time, which is lacking for him right now.
Thinking of the members of the Godslayer Team, he suddenly remembered a person, who made significant contributions in the Prism System battlefield before, and he himself had promised that person that if he performed well, he would give him the opportunity to achieve Transcendent.
This person is Black Soul of the Godslayer Team.
"Black Soul."
At this thought, Zhang Xiaoman decided to delay exploring the Ruins Realm and instead closed his eyes to sense, instantly traversing space back to Water Blue Star, where he grasped the changes within the Star Alliance these past years, focusing particularly on Black Soul.
"Hmm, the strength is at the Fake Transcendent Level, with deep reserves, diligent and precise in his work, having made numerous contributions over the years, very conscientious, just that his age is quite advanced, it seems he doesn’t have much life expectancy left."
He felt somewhat relieved that he hadn’t delayed too long, otherwise, if he came out another ten years later, he might not see Black Soul again.
"Oh, you mean that little guy, I remember him, the last time you recruited him, I happened to be there, that little guy has a decent aptitude, his Fake Transcendent Level strength is only a step away from Transcendent Level, if he’s just to fall away like this, it would be a pity, anyway, now that you have the power to help him, you might as well lend him a hand, thereby adding one more Extraordinary Level to the Star Alliance, right?"
Zhang Xiaoman nodded.
"You’re right, the Fake Transcendent Level strength... is quite similar to mine back then, this path is indeed difficult, if he were to fail at this final step, it would truly be a pity."
...
Elsewhere, on Water Blue Star.
Originally sitting on a Spirit Eye at the Star Alliance cultivating, Black Soul suddenly shuddered all over, with a look of terror on his face, he looked up bewilderedly around.
"What’s happening... that feeling just now... what was it...?"
He broke out in a cold sweat, thinking he was being watched by something, but upon careful inspection, he found nothing.
"Haha, quite the perceptive one. Well then, today I’ll lend you a hand, so I don’t end up in the Ruins Realm for an unknown duration not knowing when I’ll emerge, should you exhaust your lifespan, that would be a breach of promise."
Zhang Xiaoman laughed softly, although he hadn’t deliberately hidden himself, being perceptible to him was indeed not easy.
"Very well, let’s give you a chance then, see if you can grasp it."
For him, it was just a casual decision, but for Black Soul, it was a matter relating to his life.
"Relax your mind, come over."
In the cultivation chamber, a voice suddenly emerged in Black Soul’s mind, and soon he saw a crack slowly open in the space before him, which soon became a mysterious dark door of unknown destination in front of him.
"Who are you...?"
Black Soul remained vigilant, as the voice had appeared directly in his mind, making it difficult to identify who was speaking to him.
Yet after waiting for a while, he received no response, causing him some anxiety.
"Could it be... that lord...?"
Black Soul immediately thought of someone, and that person was Ji Xing.
To silently open a spatial rift within his own room, such a skill, how could an ordinary person manage?
Moreover, knowing his time was running short, he had been performing well these past years, thinking that, if indeed a master capable of tearing through space were seeking him, it was most likely that lord Ji Xing.
Seeing the door before him showing signs of dispersion, Black Soul clenched his teeth and stepped into it.
Whatever it is! This kind of existence, able to create a space door right before him just like that, killing him wouldn’t be difficult if that were their intent!
Instead of hesitating here and missing an opportunity, he might as well go in and see, if it truly is that lord Ji Xing looking for him, surely it’s to fulfill the past promise.
As the surroundings shifted, upon reopening his eyes, Black Soul found himself at the entrance high in the nine heavens of the Returning Ruins.
"Greetings to Venerable Ji Xing!"
Seeing the purple-robed figure hovering before him, Black Soul’s heart was instantly thrown into a tumultuous storm.
"It really is him! It really is him! He’s definitely here to help me! My opportunity has truly arrived!"
Despite appearing calm on the surface, inwardly he was already roaring and cheering to the point he barely took note of the surrounding environment.
Indeed, as that purple-robed figure began to speak, the words completely set Black Soul’s suspicions at ease.
"Black Soul, considering your wholehearted dedication to the Star Alliance all these years, I’ll grant your previous request and bestow upon you an opportunity."
Hearing this delighted Black Soul, secretly thinking it would be so, that he really had hope of breaking through to Transcendent, and hurriedly bowed deeply, saying:
"Thank you, Extreme Star God Venerable, for your support, Black Soul will devote his life to the Star Alliance, never betraying!"
As he finished speaking, the green little dragon transformed by Ni Yang flew beside Zhang Xiaoman, speaking somewhat displeased:
"Hey, what a blind little brat, can’t even see me, a younger generation of Star Alliance, not even knowing to greet me, the lord. Just now, I was the one helping you."
Initially puzzled by the sudden appearance of the green little dragon, Black Soul, noticing the tone and the ease it had around the lord, realized its origin must be extraordinary, at least beyond his comparison.
He hurriedly bowed again, expressing gratitude to Ni Yang.
Zhang Xiaoman cast an amused look at Ni Yang, finding his disposition indeed amusing.
"Alright, relax and let me take a look."
He directed his gaze back to Black Soul, then extended a Divine Thought into him.
Moments later.
"Hmm... your foundation is indeed good, just a little off in communicating with Spiritual Power, it seems this is what has blocked you for so many years, otherwise, with your strength, reaching the Transcendent Level would be no problem."
Zhang Xiaoman’s affirmation warmed Black Soul’s heart greatly.
Yes, he was just that little bit away, it was this final bit that had almost brought him to life’s end.
"You’re a Loose Cultivator, having learned many things, which is both your strength and your weakness. The vast array of magic and skills has consumed immense effort, enhancing practical abilities, yet it delves too much into understanding new realms, making it not worthwhile for time spent on it."
Zhang Xiaoman pointed out Black Soul’s deficiencies.
"The reason you haven’t broken through that barrier also can’t be detached from this."
"Now, forget those unnecessary things, keep only your most crucial cultivation method, rely solely upon this method for the trial I’ve set for you next. If you pass, you’ll soar in ranks, breaking through to Transcendent; if not... then you’ll vanish here, tell me, are you willing?"
