Painting of the Nine Immortals

Chapter 922: The Peak of the Soul

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

The Lake of the Resting Soul is one of the five soul healing treasures. It is invaluable and is a gem that everyone dreams of having.

Any cultivator who uses this item to nourish their soul will empower their soul. The soul is the core of any living spiritual being and thus the utmost important existence.

To those with an enlivener, if the physical body dies, as long as one’s soul is still around, one can be resurrected.

But if one’s soul dies, then no matter how powerful one’s physical body is, all is meaningless.

There are many devious and dark techniques and treasures in the cultivation community that can end one’s soul right away. If the soul isn’t strong enough, one can instantly die.

Though there are also countless objects that defend against attacks of the soul, when faced with very powerful tactics, they are useless. The only thing that can guarantee safety is if one’s soul is strong enough.

This was why all five of the soul healing items are considered invaluable.

Though the Lake of the Resting Soul is something the Wang Clan had, not everyone was fortunate enough to taste its benefits. Even those at the fifth level can only spend at most 10 days there every year.

Normal elders without extremely glorious records can spend only around three days inside.

Of course, if the Clan Leader sends an order, then it’s a different story.

It was for this reason that everyone reacted so strongly after Gong Suo Xin granted Ling Xian a month inside the Lake of the Resting Soul.

As the high level management of the Wang Clan, in a year, they can only stay at the Lake for two to three days. Yet Ling Xian was allowed to stay in for a whole month. Naturally, everyone wasn’t happy about this.

To put it more accurately, they were jealous.

Sadly, their reaction was so funny and so useless.

Therefore, Ling Xian righteously earned his way into the Wang Clan’s cave, where the Lake of the Resting Soul is.

As for Feng Jiu Ge, someone had stopped her outside. After all, Gong Suo Xin didn’t say she could enter.

“Such dense pulses of soulful powers...”

When he first stepped inside, Ling Xian sensed the strength of the soul. His eyes flashed with drunkness.

Then, he shifted his gaze forward. This place was scenic with clear water, tall mountains, and heavy spiritual energy. The spiritual energy was about to solidify since it was so dense.

Not far away from him was a clear pond. The heavy power to the soul was coming from there.

Obviously, this was the Lake of the Resting Soul, a treasure that countless people beg for.

Ling Xian was no exception!

He knows very well that his mission is the find the five soul healing treasures and stabilize the leftover soul of the immortals. Then, he will figure out a way to reconstruct their bodies.

Therefore, when he saw the Lake, his gaze turned heated.

However, the Lake of the Resting Soul was the Wang Clan’s. With Gong Suo Xin being the new Clan Leader, he wasn’t about to steal it.

“It’s a pity I cannot take away the Lake.”

Ling Xian softly sighed, looking pitiful. However, when he remembered how he could use this opportunity to enhance his soul, his eyes turned passionate.

“First I will enter and strengthen my soul. Then I will discuss with Gong Suo Xin about whether or not I can take this Lake by exchanging other treasures for it.”

Ling Xian grinned and made up his mind. Then, in a flash, he entered the Lake of the Resting Soul.

At once, a gently yet murky wave of warmth entered between his brows, making him feel comfortable all over like an immortal.

“It is the Lake of the Resting Soul after all. It sure is effective.”

Ling Xian complimented. His eyes were full of heat and anticipation. Especially since the competition between the Heaven’s Favorites was about to start, his anticipation was even higher.

This time, all Heaven’s Favorites from all nine continents are going to be there. It wasn’t hard to imagine how amazing of a competition it is going to be and how many talented Heaven’s Favorites will be there.

To stand out from everyone and earn the number one title is harder than climbing up to the Heavens. Therefore, Ling Xian had to make himself strong. Whether it is his physiques, his spiritual energy, or his soul, he had to make sure everything is at the peak of the original level!

Only so will he gain the right to outcompete everyone else!

Now that Ling Xian’s physique has reached the peak of the original level and he has obtained information on how he can transform his Qi, it was time for him to enhance his soul.

Coincidentally, he encountered the Lake of the Resting Soul, one of the five treasures. Naturally, he had to crunch time and cultivate whenever he can.

“One month isn’t too much time. I have to hurry.”

Ling Xian smiled. He was knee-deep into the Lake and he closed his eyes. Then, he formed a hand seal and the spot between his brows began to shine.

Next, a seven-colored tiny person flew out from between his brows. The person too closed his eyes like Ling Xian.

At once, the water flow increased in speed and the energy of the soul healing power intensified.

Like that, the enlivener was getting more nutrients and was emitting more light that was like an undying Sun that brightened all nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of hell.

Ling Xian himself turned into a giant ball of light that was unmoving at the bottom of the Lake. He allowed the water to flow past him.

He was concentrating with his eyes tightly shut. Like a buddha, he remained unmoving and fell into a strange state.

Just like that, time passed by little by little.

The entire Lake was quiet. There was no wave, no wind, and no sound.

Ling Xian calmly cultivated. Under the nourishment of the lake, his enlivener shone brighter and brighter. His soul turned more and more powerful.

As time went on, the seven-colored light began to expand and dyed the entire lake in the same seven colors. The scene was like a dream, an alternative reality.

More than 20 days passed just like that. Then, Ling Xian slowly opened his two eyes. Two rays of light shot out and then disappeared into the void.

Following that, the enlivener returned to his body and the lake water boiled!

HOMMM!

An extremely powerful energy exploded. Debris was flung out for hundreds of miles and giant waves began to swirl into the sky!

If anyone was here, they would be shocked. Because the power of his soul has reached the peak of the original level.

Yes, at first, Ling Xian’s soul was at most, at the advanced stage of the original level. After 20 days of hard training, his soul has reached the peak of the original level and was now truly at its extreme!

That is the power of the Lake of the Resting Soul!

If Ling Xian was training himself slowly, there was no way he would reach this level without a few years’ time. Comparatively speaking, however, it was still not easy for any cultivator to reach the peak of the original level within such a short period of time.

Yet Ling Xian had reached the peak of the original level. This was all thanks to the Lake of the Resting Soul.”

“It is the Lake of the Resting Soul, after all, the results are baffling.”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up. He felt the enlivener and his heart filled with joy.

His physique has reached the peak of the original level, his soul had just done the same. Other than his untransformed Qi, everything else was now at the peak of the original level.

If he can successfully transform his spiritual energy, then he would be at perfection with all three key fundamental qualities.

“I sure am looking forward to how powerful I will get once I get there.” Ling Xian softly sighed. His eyes were full of anticipation.

Just as he was flooding with expectation, Gong Suo Xin suddenly fluttered over and slowly landed at the bottom of the lake..
