Chapter 201: He Believed in Fate

"Sadly, if I had the Elemental Soul Lake, my soul injuries would heal quickly" Nuwa sighed with emotion. In her youth, she had gained an inheritance that allowed her to cultivate six paths without conflicts. Because of this, she cultivated fire path, water path, earth path, wind path, metal path and soul path without any sort of conflicts.

One could almost say that the Elemental Soul Lake was made for her.

"Reverend Spectral Demon praised both the Sea of Nirvana and the Elemental Soul Lake as the best for cultivating the soul. A pity, the Sea of Nirvana is lost with Chang Court and Yama Battlefield seals the Elemental Soul Lake" Old Man Gu Li's expression was rueful.

"Hmm. Didn't Demon Xue go to Chang Court after he left my aperture?" Nuwa suddenly asked.

"Oh? You mean Spectral Lightning Demon Venerable. Yes, I wonder if he is still alive. No matter how hard I try, I can't deduce his fate" Old Man Gu Li said.

"Hmph! That Demon Xue still has some tricks up his sleeves. Back when I asked him to fight with me to fend off Long Aotian, he refused because I wouldn't give him Darmian's remnant Qi. Didn't he eventually die too?" Nuwa rambled with distinct anger.

"But… I have tricked that Purple Flame Lion and the Supreme Ice Physique into searching for him. When they do, I'll soul search him thoroughly and find the location of his Grotto-Heaven. If I can annex it, my soul path dao imprints will rise tremendously. Demon Xue, just you wait"

"It would be better if he were in Central Continent. Heavenly Court's forces can easily capture him there. However, not even Heavenly Court can meddle in the other regions, not without a Venerable. Western Plains is now in turmoil since Devil Lord Edu Shashou came out of seclusion. Until Lord Nuwa regains her cultivation base, we can only be patient" Old Man Gu Li thought inwardly as he let out a bitter smile.

Before Nuwa had revived, he had made sure to express goodwill to Lu Zheng so that if he became a Venerable again, he would not have hate against Heavenly Court.

Old Man Gu Li believed in fate and he knew that there was a reason why Xue Ritian was still able to revive even after Long Aotian refined his soul into the Cycle of Reincarnation.

Even in this lifetime, he had already died once but had revived again. Old Man Gu Li felt that there was a force that ensured that the man would not die. He believed in fate.

Lu Zheng stretched his arms to their limits as he stored the rank one Spirit Grade formation plate artifact in his hands in his spatial ring. He had already inscribed tens of formations.

His soul energy was quite depleted that his Soul Lake had become shallow. His host soul was a vague form of his body.

Small streams of soul energy from the Soul Absorbing Gem flowed into Lu Zheng and his Soul Lake rose again till it became full. His host soul became very solid.

His soul consciousness flowed like an ethereal sea into his wristband and his vision changed.

Lu Zheng smiled to himself: "I have been given a month to rest. I must increase my battle strength within this time"

His thoughts shifted and he quickly recalled a certain matter.

A small vial appeared from his spatial ring in his hands. Inside the vial was a bolt of blazing lightning that flashed thousands of times in a single moment.

The moment the vial appeared, Lu Zheng's Vermillion Blood became restless and bloodline power spilled out of his blood vessels. Faint flames flickered around him and fire Qi filled the room.

Another object appeared from his spatial ring. It was a small droplet of blood.

~Rank eight astral thunderbolt and a Life Blood Crystal~

At this point, Lu Zheng's Vermillion Blood was already churning and frothing. Golden divine runes appeared in his blood vessels and bloodline power surged madly from him.

Lu Zheng could barely control himself.

The golden divine runes carried fire path profound meaning and Lu Zheng only knew four; Ignition, Flame Cloak, and Sun of the Vermillion True Flames.

The Life Blood Crystal seeped into Lu Zheng's palm and a strong heat escaped it. Soon, all of Lu Zheng's body turned red and the divine runes imprinted in the Vermillion Blood appeared on his body.

Before he lost consciousness from the pain, Lu Zheng broke the vial and the astral thunderbolt entered his body.
