BXBX NOVEL Chapter 772 Plans
"Where\'s the rest?"
"This is all I have. Heavin has most of my share from my time in the Kalame Sect. As for the rest, it\'s in the Godly Path Realm."
Soren nodded before asking another question.
"You said that this Heavin and Liriu came to the Soren Ruins. Where are they right now? I need to stop them before they reach the center."
Krune narrowed his eyes as he answered.
"Well, that\'s a problem. My connection with Heavin says that he was teleported to the very center of the Soren Ruins."
"What?! Teleported? He must have found one of those hidden entrances..."
Soren then had an incredibly pessimistic thought.
"Fuck! We need to go there as soon as possible. Otherwise, Zugen might use my Mental Energy Source to help heal his own injuries instead of slowly doing it with other bodies."
Krune\'s group was taken aback as they asked.
"What do you mean by other bodies?"
Without answering their questions, Soren flashed away. Since their question was left unanswered, Krune, Feifei, and Lucio could only follow him. Soren then took the fused elements with his Mental Energy Source out and absorbed them on the way. Simultaneously, he explained to Krune and the others what he meant a while ago.
"From what I discovered so far, the only way for him to heal himself is to force other people to generate mental energy sources for him. I wasn\'t kidding when I said his own Mental Energy Soul was seriously damaged. He had been doing it all this time."
"However, this method is excruciatingly slow. After all, this realm\'s limitations make it impossible for you to surpass the 6th realm of the Soul Cultivation Technique. The 6th realm is also the realm where you create your Mental Energy Source for the first time. It\'s not wrong to call it the 1st Mental Energy Source Realm if you want to. Think of it as you cracking the shell and finally being born. In other words, you\'re a newborn."
"In contrast, the Soul God Realm is like a planet-sized dragon. Can you see the difference? Using the Mental Energy Source of a baby to heal a dragon\'s Mental Energy Source of that size is like pouring a drop of water in the ocean. Besides, those Mental Energy Sources aren\'t his to start with, so he can only use very little of it."
"However, my own Mental Energy Source is at the Soul God Level. Although it will take some time, it can definitely heal his wound several times faster. I can\'t let that happen."
Krune couldn\'t help but ask.
"Can\'t we use those entrances to teleport there then?"
"Impossible. Zugen knows I\'m lurking around. Once my body\'s energy gets even a bit close to the entrances, it will scan the targets and only teleport if I\'m not there."
Feifei then mentioned.
"Well, then what about us? Can\'t you just tell us where it is, and we\'ll use that entrance?"
By now, Luvile had already returned to Krune\'s Foundation, so he couldn\'t be seen anymore.
"If I did that, you will fall into a trap. His solar system will seal all of your cultivation. You won\'t be able to display more than a Core Formation Realm cultivator\'s power. Mental Energy is less restricted, so you might be able to fight at the Divine Soul Level or maybe Soul Forging. Do you really want to go there like that? It would be a terrible idea."
Lucio then took the chance to ask.
"Does it mean that if we use your method, our cultivation won\'t be sealed?"
Soren nodded.
"That\'s because you are close to me. I might have just a sliver of my Soul God Mental Energy Source right now. Still, it\'s more than enough to cancel the effects of his territorial restriction."
It was then that Krune had an idea.
"Wait! Do you know where we can find one of these entrances?"
Soren looked at Krune before nodding.
"I do. Why?"
Not long after, a layer of Tribulation Lightning spread out of his body and covered their entire group.
"Simple. I can use Luvile\'s power to mask your presence. That way, we can use the teleport formation to head there directly. It should work, no?"
Soren narrowed his eyes as he pondered about the issue.
"Zugen was also a god, so he should be able to detect your presence even with Luvile\'s power. However, that is in a normal situation where he doesn\'t have a damaged Mental Energy Source. I was planning to use Luvile\'s power to force an opening into his Solar System, but that would take quite some time."
Soren finally decided.
"Alright. It\'s worth a shot. Come with me!"
Soren suddenly changed direction and sped up once again. It was then that Krune and the others felt a source of Mental Energy coming from his body. Just now, Soren had become even stronger.
"Don\'t worry. I just finished absorbing the Mental Energy Source you gave me back. Even if it was just a little bit, that was still a Soul God\'s Mental Energy Source."
Krune couldn\'t tell if he would be able to beat Soren at his current level. Fortunately, it didn\'t seem like he wanted to do anything to them at the moment.
Meanwhile, deep inside the planet where Heavin\'s group is located, an old man opened his eyes as he looked at several black orbs in the distance. Several of them seemed to be brimming with the fused elements of black energy. After that, he shook his head as he thought.
"My Heaven Soul Metal has appeared in the Mortal Realm, but I wonder if Soren will notice it. I deployed my Crystal Demon Beasts and even put a protective barrier inside the Core Region to annihilate anyone who might bring it here. Soren is definitely waiting for an opportunity to enter my Solar System, so that\'s all I can do to keep him away from his Mental Energy Source. It would be perfect if I could get it instead."
However, it was then that he noticed a difference in one of those orbs\' black energy.
"This..."
He made a grabbing motion with his hand, and it did not take long for that black orb to fly into his grasp. He quickly checked it and his eyes immediately shone!
"This is a Soul God-level Mental Energy Source! It must be Soren\'s! How is this possible? Did someone really bring it here into the Ruins?"
Zugen then spread his Divine Sense out. Unlike others, his own Divine Sense wasn\'t blocked by his Solar System.
"I have a lot of visitors this time. Well, that\'s to be expected. After all, my Crystal Demon Beasts\' release definitely caught the ants of the Mortal Realm\'s attention. However, would Soren\'s Mental Energy Source be with any of them? Or could it be that Soren has already gotten it back? No, wait. If that was the case, then there shouldn\'t be any of it in one of my orbs."
Zugen pondered for a bit before deciding.
"Let\'s first use this source. Although it\'s just a little, it\'s more than enough to make up for most of the Mental Energy Sources I obtained up to now. It should allow me to recover a bit more."
"As for the people and beasts outside, their cultivations are sealed anyway. I could capture them now, but I don\'t know if this is a trap from Soren. I better finish absorbing this source first so that I can recover a bit more of my power. Besides, they will move into the trap on their own sooner or later."
At the same time, on the planet\'s surface, Heavin\'s group had snowballed to a considerable size as they went to the same place. Finally, they arrived at what seemed to be another ruin. It had the same structure as the ruins surrounding this Solar System. It\'s just that they weren\'t floating in the air but were held to the ground by gravity.
However, everyone narrowed their eyes as they looked at it. That\'s because they knew about the ghosts and crystal demon beasts. If they encountered such things inside with their cultivation sealed, they would be dead for sure.
However, Heavin\'s group ignored that and moved straight in.
"What\'s the point in waiting here? We can\'t do anything with our cultivations sealed, so let\'s move in already."
The others could not help but grit their teeth and followed Heavin and company. Whether there were Crystal Demon Beasts and Ghosts or not, they didn\'t have any other choice. After all, they were trapped on this planet as long as they couldn\'t use their cultivation. They needed to find a way out.
However, there was one problem. There were quite a few of them here.
"Should we keep together or separate to cover a bigger area?"
"I think we should stick close to one another. It will be easier to deal with the dangers."
"I disagree. If we really find one of those ghosts or beasts, we will simply die together due to the power difference. If we separate, at least a few of us might have a chance of finding a way out."
"Well, that\'s considering that there\'s a way out in these ruins, to begin with."
Liriu looked at Heavin and Fura before saying.
"Let\'s just go. Whether they wish to follow or not will be their problem."
Heavin and Fura agreed with Liriu and quickly followed him. The Phoenix soon noticed their group moving ahead and narrowed its eyes. Still, it decided to stay close to them nevertheless. The groups were quickly divided between those who wanted to move alone or move as a bigger group. And just like that, they all headed deeper into the new ruins.
