Chapter 150: A Reverend’s Inheritance

Lu Zheng was surprised by the sudden change in his Soul Lake. In all of his life, he had never heard of a frozen Soul Lake not to speak of seeing one.

His host soul gazed at itself. It was completely covered with Nirvana Flames that stung it slightly.

Lu Zheng easily recognised the flames as the Nirvana Flames of the first layer of the Sea of Nirvana.

Before, the flames of the first layer of the Sea of Nirvana could not cause Lu Zheng pain after he got used to them. However, the Nirvana Flames were in direct contact with his soul now and the pain was even more distinct.

~Reverend Spectral Demon is truly awesome! Merely his split soul was able to create a formation that gave me ninety two soul path dao imprints and increase my soul foundation to the one hundred and twenty five thousand man soul level. Even the Sea of Nirvana is residing in my Soul Lake~

Lu Zheng was truly impressed.

Normally, dao imprints could only be gained by undergoing tribulation after breaking through to a new realm of cultivation.

However, soul path dao imprints were always destroyed in lighting tribulations so soul path martial practitioners usually dual cultivated soul path with another path to cover this flaw.

Even Reverend Spectral Demon had dual cultivated soul path and phantom path.

Lu Zheng cleaned his face and moved his limbs as if he were getting a feel of it.

His soul foundation had risen to the hundred and twenty five thousand man soul level after gaining ninety two soul path dao imprints.

This meant that his soul was comparable to that of a hundred and twenty five thousand mortal souls.

After all the times that he had tempered his soul with the Sea of Nirvana, his soul's true strength was leaps above that.

Due to this, Lu Zheng's body felt extremely lighter than ever and he felt that without even struggling, he could produce exorbitant amounts of force by just moving his limbs.

The change was not something a person could understand without experiencing it themselves.

"This will take some getting used to" Lu Zheng chuckled lightly as he continued to wave and stretch his four limbs.

From his glabella, First's ethereal figure appeared before sitting his miniature body on Lu Zheng's shoulder.

"Junior, the Sea of Nirvana has merged with your Soul Lake. For now, you still can't wield it but the formation in your Soul Lake is designed to enable you to use it to temper your soul. At any point in time, the Nirvana Flames that bathe your host soul will protect you from any soul attacks" First explained softly.

"So it is an inheritance of Reverend Spectral Demon" Lu Zheng smiled. He wasn't surprised that he could not use the Sea of Nirvana yet.

If he tried to use the Sea of Nirvana as a source of battle strength at his current cultivation base, it would be akin to a baby lifting a mountain. He would only get crushed by its strength.

"Come on, let's leave this place"

Lu Zheng's heart almost skipped a beat when he had First's words.

The Sea of Nirvana was Chang Court's most valuable asset. Even if First was a split soul of Reverend Spectral Demon, Lu Zheng found it doubtful that they would just let him be.

Seeing Lu Zheng's face turn pale with fright, First couldn't help but chuckle: "It's okay, let's just go"

Although he did not know why First was so confident, Lu Zheng felt like he could trust him. He was after all a split soul of Reverend Spectral Demon.

Clearing his doubts, Lu Zheng exited the secluded domain that used to contain the Sea of Nirvana.

"What happened here?" Lu Zheng was stunned silly by the sight around him.

Just as he expected to find himself in a large hall full of people, he met with a shockwave that could have easily rendered him deaf.

In the sky, a pitch black clump of lightning stood, beside it was Thunder Soul Monarch who was bathed in white lights.

"Barely… huff, I made it barely" Thunder Soul Monarch heaved as he gazed at the dumbfounded Lu Zheng.

Within moments, his entire body was enveloped by the white light, wiping him out of existence.

First's expression was solemn: "You've done well, Second"

Meanwhile, the black clump of lightning suddenly began to tremble as a dangerous aura diffused from it.

"Junior, you should run" First said casually but Lu Zheng did not need his reminder.

Afterimages filled the space behind Lu Zheng as he moved faster than the speed of light. Even still, he was unable to cross a mere ten metres before the black clump suddenly exploded.

The dangerous aura that emanated from it became a thousand times stronger as Lu Zheng froze on the spot. His heart beat wildly from natural trepidation.
