Chapter 584 – Soul Formation (2)
"It feels weird, Munya."
Nya-Nya floated around her totem tower, looking at her soul core with interest. The Holy Flame Continent exuded white flame, ceaselessly nourishing her soul.
Miaomiao designated the Holy Flame of Life Continent to her since the power of life was the best for her Dao.
"Come down, Nya-Nya. I'll form the soul formation array now."
"Okay, Munya!"
Miaomiao gathered everyone in the dantian space. He also asked Ma Xingjuan to reenter the world temporarily to finish what they needed to do.
Diaochan was temporarily freed from the semen continent. She was drowned in semen for so long that she forgot how to act like a civilized human.
Xu Chu slapped some senses back to the girl. She managed to regain her bearings and sanity a few minutes later.
"Time to work, you little bitch."
"Hey, that's rude, senior!" Diaochan sobbed. She pretended to be pitiful, but no one believed her.
Miaomiao ignored Diaochan's antics. He explained the preparation and procedure, "We are going to form a 3x3 diagram. Everyone stands on each block, and I will hover over you guys. Sit down and slowly impart your Qi to me. I'll do the rest."
"That simple, Munya?" Meowmeow was skeptical.
"Yes. The breakthrough is simple. All I need is 9 Dao Sentinels."
"Okay, Munya! Let's do our best!"
Everyone believed in Miaomiao.
…
The Luck Element Continent
Currently, the luck continent appeared as an invisible plate on top of the life essence ocean, covering the territory of 1,000 square kilometers. It slowly expanded as the black and white cloud devoured every type of Qi to get stronger.
The totem tower of Miaomiao's primary dao, the Dao of Plot Armor Plundering, stood tall as a landmark of this place. Its architecture and style were similar to Barad-dûr, aka Sauron's Tower. Though no eye-like fire existed here, and the rooftop was flat.
All dao sentinels stood on top of this tower. They formed a 3x3 formation.
Xu Chu, Chang'e, Diaochan stood in the first row.
Meowmeow, Dian Wei, and Nya-Nya got the second row.
The last row belonged to Kang Yan, Ma Xingjuan, and Liu Guang.
There was no meaning behind this formation. After all, the critical part depended on Miaomiao, who had been floating over the tower.
Nine dao sentinels sat in position. Then, the tower hummed, and nine plates were detached from the tower.
Portraits of all Dao Sentinels manifested on the plates. They circled around the tower, facing everyone.
Soul cores of the sitting sentinels came out from their totems and merged with the plates, after which the plates projected colorful rays toward Miaomiao. Then, Miaomiao's body glowed and projected lights toward the nine sentinels.
Everyone widened their eyes as Miaomiao's memory entered their minds. They finally realized why Miaomiao chose this cultivation method and had been delaying his breakthrough.
Miaomiao was sharing his Daos, insight, and experience with them!
Xu Chu, Meowmeow, Chang'e, and Nya-Nya widened their eyes as they noticed something. Soul Formation worked similarly to the relationship between deities and their vessels!
The relationship between deities and vessels leaned toward one side. The vessels could learn the Dao of their masters, borrow Qi, or request help from their deities. Meanwhile, deities could absorb their luck in exchange for the borrowed power.
Vessels automatically perished if their deities died. On the contrary, deities couldn't be killed by normal means if their vessels still existed. A deity could transfer their soul and take over a vessel's body to continue living!
But in this case, the relationship between Miaomiao and dao sentinels broke the norm.
All dao sentinels could freely use Miaomiao's power, Qi, and Dao. Vice versa, Miaomiao could use everybody's Daos, Qi, and techniques.
Secondly, if Miaomiao were to die, none of the dao sentinels would have perished. Miaomiao couldn't take over their bodies either. On the other hand, dao sentinels could temporarily possess Miaomiao's body or help him in various situations.
In addition, Miaomiao could obtain something that only deities and sages could utilize: the Faith Power.
Faith strengthened one's connate providence and providence Qi as deities' strength heavily depended on the number and quality of their followers and vessels.
Miaomiao was not even an immortal. However, this cultivation method allowed Miaomiao to be familiarized with the power of the deity realm!
The ambition of Miaomiao was reflected in this cultivation method! He wouldn't be satisfied with the power of deities for sure!
"This is crazy, Miaomiao. Are you sure you're still a mortal?" Xu Chu questioned Miaomiao's potential.
"This is broken, Munya!" Nya-Nya and Meowmeow had the same idea.
Meanwhile, Chang'e narrowed her eyes. She seemed to realize something when she noticed that everybody's power had mixed together.
She could access other sentinels' Daos as well! All souls were linked!
Furthermore, Miaomiao's luck energy flowed into her!
"I see!"
Chang'e took the initiative and began comprehending the Daos, elements, and the power of other dao sentinels. While she was at it, she released more Qi toward Miaomiao.
Soon, the energy flow of Chang'e circulated faster than everybody else, and more mixed energy entered her dantian.
Xu Chu, Kang Yan, and every sentinel glanced at Chang'e as they noticed the phenomenon. As long as they contribute their power to Miaomiao more than the others, more energy from Miaomiao would return to them.
Their competitive spirit was ignited. They poured everything into Miaomiao.
The abundant Life Essence and luck energy of Miaomiao flowed toward them in return for their contribution. Miaomiao also absorbed their Soul Qi and various elemental Qi that he didn't have.
Soon, everybody's power mixed together as one.
Miaomiao grinned. This was the purpose of the Soul Formation.
They lived and died together.
They shared their power, daos, and Qi.
They shared their knowledge and experience.
All Sentinels and Miaomiao were one!
'That's why I need OP Dao Sentinels! Hahahahaha!'
Miaomiao inwardly laughed as he allowed his energy to be overflown. His soul dantian rapidly expanded and merged with his physical dantian.
Then, the dantian world evolved. All elemental continents were detached from Life Essence Ocean and floated to space. They evolved into elemental planes.
Life Essence Ocean on the main planet was also transformed. Nine masses of life essence water gathered around planes of Dao Sentinels, stabilizing their foundations.
After everything had been stabilized, the planes slowly orbited around Miaomiao's main planet.
Stellar constellation planets were taking shape.
…
A year later in Isolated Training Space, the flow of energy ceased, and the portrait plates of nine dao sentinels stopped moving. Every plate dispersed and went to the elemental plane that they belonged.
Everyone opened their eyes and gazed at Miaomiao. They had just woken up from a dream world, which lasted over a million years.
Xu Chu and others got to see Cernun's one million years of life. They also visited the modern world of Miaomiao and got to know him better.
They also experienced the three timelines that Xie Tian had shared with Miaomiao!
"Miaomiao… you…"
Everybody but Xu Chu was astonished. They had never expected Miaomiao's background and life experience to be this deep.
As for Xu Chu, she had already figured out Miaomiao's identity and his relationship with Devil long ago. She smirked, "Screw Devil. My Miaomiao is the best! He's my destined husband!"
The wives glanced at Xu Chu, and their eyelids twitched. This succubus ancestor tried to snatch somebody's husband and failed. Then, she ruined his life, and then she settled down with Devil's clone.
She was the epitome of a THOT.
When the girls thought of THOTs, their mood was ruined. They, too, came from a brothel, and they were once gold diggers, who heavily leeched on Miaomiao's success.
They sighed.
"You need Jesus, senior Xu," Kang Yan shook her head.
"Don't use the modern term here. I don't need Macho Joshua! Also, I know which dick I need," Xu Chu scoffed and scratched her crotch, mimicking Miaomiao's ill manner and obnoxious expression.
Everybody laughed. They huddled and began discussing the experience of Miaomiao.
…
Miaomiao hovered over the tower, gazing at his people.
He glanced at the system notification panel.
RUMBLE
Life Essence ocean got thinner as they were automatically converted into Soul Qi. A million liters of life essence water turned into a wisp of Qi, which could only be used by cultivators with soul physique.
Then, a million wisps of Soul Qi merged and condensed into a crystalized Soul Essence.
The wisp of Soul Qi and Soul Essence slowly replaced the Life Essence water, and the ocean's water level decreased.
Soon, the dantian planet's ocean was dry. Only crystalized soul essence and fog of Soul Qi remained.
Miaomiao admired the scenery, but he was a bit disappointed. He didn't like a dry mysterious land as he preferred a world with vast seas. Moreover, a billion fishes were about to die because of the lack of water.
He turned toward Meowmeow's plane in space. Currently, it had already converted all life essence into sacred water element essence droplets. The gigantic mass shrank into a small flying mass of water and totems.
The portrait plate of Meowmeow had already returned to the plane. Now, it hovered on top of the totem.
Without a choice, Miaomiao sent the fishes to Meowmeow's element plane. He couldn't fish here anymore.
But Miaomiao wasn't satisfied. He wanted the refill his main world with water.
'Where should I get water to fill my main planet? I don't like the sea of crystals.'
Miaomiao missed Mao Xueyan's artifact. The goblet of unified spring water was necessary to replenish the ocean in his dantian world.
He left the tower and inspected the crystal sea.
Soul Essence crystals looked similar to the 1st-grade soul stones. However, each Miaomiao's soul crystal contained more Soul Qi than a thousand 4th-grade soul stones combined.
Every crystal was comparable to a 5th-grade soul stone!
Miaomiao roughly counted the crystals, but he gave up a minute later. There were as many as the sands in the ocean!
'Wow. I'm quite OP… or not.'
Miaomiao thought of Xie Tian.
The protagonist in the previous timeline had a more impressive dantian world. When Xie Tian advanced to the Soul Formation Realm, his soul essence sea was vast and endless. Even the planes of his soul sentinels were as big as the modern sun!
Miaomiao adjusted his mindset. He suppressed his arrogance.
"I'm such a talentless cultivator."
The girls and Meowmeow overheard Miaomiao's remark. The corner of their mouth twitched as they had the same thoughts.
'If you're talentless, everyone in the universe is garbage! What the hell, Miaomiao!?'
…
As soon as Miaomiao broke through, the sky darkened and rainclouds formed once more. The thunderous roar of Heaven deafened the cultivators in Cherry City.
Xie Lian and Xie Fan stood up and turned toward Miaomiao's room. They sensed the domineering presence of an immortal.
An immortal's presence!
But Miaomiao was still a mortal!
A 9th-stage cultivator with an immortal's presence?
Xie Fan nodded in acknowledgment, "As expected of Adam's illegitimate child. His foundation is on par with the geniuses of our clan!"
Xie Lian glanced at his little sister, "Since when have you approved that brat. I thought you hated him."
Xie Fan blushed, "I-I-I never approved of him! I just stated the fact! At least, he deserved some respect!"
"…"
No matter how Xie Fan reacted, Xie Lian believed that Miaomiao had done something to her.
Still, Miaomiao's achievement was worthy of acknowledgment. Not many mortals could have the strength of immortals.
He wondered what kind of monster Miaomiao would become when he truly ascended. Would he be on par with deities then?
