Chapter 71: Soul Altar Realm and Soul Harvesting!

Zhou Feng felt that his spiritual power was constantly being transformed.

And because the spiritual power in his body was extremely mottled, the converted soul power was also very impure.

This caused the process of casting the Soul Altar to be extremely difficult.

Not only was the speed of casting the Soul Altar slow, but the quality was also very poor.

Nonetheless, his spiritual power was too potent, so even though the speed of casting the Soul Altar was slow, it was very stable.

He felt that a small space had been opened up in his mind.

This small space was like the storage space of a storage bag.

Then, more spiritual power poured into this space.

Finally, this space was branded with Zhou Feng exclusive seal.

At this stage, Zhou Feng’s soul power could be said to have extremely obvious personal characteristics.

Starting from the Soul Altar realm, others could identify a person through their soul power.

No matter how a person or their appearance changed, their soul power was tough to alter.

As long as they could detect a person’s soul power, they could rely on this trace of soul power to confirm the person’s identity.

At the same time, breaking through to the Soul Altar realm was also the most dangerous threshold.

Why were there so few Soul Altar cultivators?

9th Level Qi Condensation cultivators were almost everywhere in the Tri-Gu Sect’s inner sect. Unfortunately, there weren’t many who could break through to the Soul Altar realm.

This was because other than the Spirit Nurturing Pill, which was challenging to obtain, one would encounter a Heart-Questioning Tribulation when they broke through to the Soul Altar realm.

This truth-seeking trial was the first tribulation that all cultivators encountered on the path of cultivation.

Every cultivator’s truth-seeking trial was different. Some people might not even feel it and muddle through it.

However, some people would not be able to pass it no matter what.

The difficulty of the truth-seeking trial had nothing to do with one’s aptitude. Everything was all about the heart.

At that moment, Zhou Feng encountered his first truth-seeking trial.

Suddenly, some philosophical questions appeared in Zhou Feng’s mind.

“Why do I have these philosophical questions?”

‘Why do we exist? Is the world we live in real?

‘Is our will free? Or are we just puppets controlled by someone?’

If some smart people pondered over these questions, they might become more and more obsessed.

To smart people, ordinary questions were not difficult for them. Only these philosophical questions would make these people think more.

Zhou Feng did not feel anything about these questions.

‘Why do we exist? Isn’t this question self-obvious? I exist!

‘Does this world really exist? Nonsense!’

This so-called Heart-Questioning Tribulation did not trap Zhou Feng at all.

It worked!

After a long breakthrough, Zhou Feng’s Soul Altar was finally forged.

The soul power in his body began to be combed again.

Moreover, he could discern further places and things that he could not normally sense.

The most obvious change was that he could now look inside!

‘These are… my meridians?’

Zhou Feng was shocked when he saw his meridians for the first time.

The originally smooth meridians were now covered with crisscrossing scars.

Although these scars had already healed, they still looked terrifying.

Then, there were hidden injuries all over his body, and some of his meridians were even blocked.

His current body could be described as a porcelain doll riddled with holes.

In other words, it looked like nothing had happened, but in reality, it was riddled with holes.

These were all the consequences of his cultivation and random devouring.

But there was no other way; the previous situation did not allow him to cultivate slowly.

Next was the Demon-Devouring Gu!

Zhou Feng saw the Demon-Devouring Gu in his body through his inner vision.

The appearance of the Demon-Devouring Gu was not what he had imagined. It looked like a small caterpillar with a few black rings on its body.

‘My heart… Is the backlash from the Heart-Linking Gu so severe!?’

Zhou Feng’s heart had a hole!

Such a close observation was terrifying, but why hadn’t he felt it at all until now?

‘I have already broken through to the Soul Altar realm, but why doesn’t my strength feel like it has increased?’

Zhou Feng felt somewhat surreal.

He had broken through successfully just like that? But why did the Soul Altar realm not seem to be much different from the Qi Condensation realm?

That’s right! The Soul Altar realm also seemed to be divided into grades!

According to Zhou Feng’s information, his Soul Altar seemed to be a Grade-9 one!

Grade-9 Soul Altar? This seemed to be the lowest grade, and it could only nurture a soul artifact.

Regarding this, he was already mentally prepared, so he wasn’t too disappointed.

He was well aware that he hadn’t made any preparation before his breakthrough. He had only relied on the Spirit Nurturing Pill for his breakthrough.

In addition to the various flaws left behind by his haphazardous cultivation, a Grade-9 Soul Altar was also within expectations.

Zhou Feng was also clear that his cultivation aptitude wasn’t very good, and he mainly relied on various passive skills.

Speaking of passive skills, he couldn’t help but glance at the skill panel.

Who knew how long it would take to draw the next passive skill?

Although he had drawn one passive skill two days ago, the more passive skills he had, the better.

“What’s going on!? How did the progress bar turn gold!?”

Zhou Feng was bewildered. The progress bar, which had already reached 0, was now full and had even turned gold.

This meant that he could draw another Gold passive skill!

‘Why? Why?’

He had already drawn one passive skill. How long had it been? Less than two days!

Could it be because he had broken through?

Zhou Feng began to recall the changes in his progress bar after breaking through.

Thinking about it, he noticed some changes.

It seemed that every time he broke through, his progress bar would increase extremely quickly.

Suddenly, he was able to draw passive skills again, and when his realm stagnated, the frequency of drawing passive skills was not that high.

If breaking through his realm could speed up the acquisition of passive skills, then should he change his strategy?

“Gold passive skill! This is the second one! I wonder what good passive skill I can draw!”

Zhou Feng did not say anything else and directly started to draw the passive skill.

In any case, if he could draw it, he would draw it. Having a new passive skill would not be a loss.

“Drawing…”

Soul Harvesting: You might obtain a soul for every cultivator you kill.

Each soul could increase a little bit of soul power!

‘Soul power!’

Zhou Feng immediately noticed this term. Soul power seemed only to be obtained after breaking through to the Soul Altar realm!

Moreover, the soul power’s strength seemed to affect many things.

For example, if one’s soul power were strong enough to nurture a spiritual artifact, then the speed of nurturing the soul artifact would be faster!

Furthermore, compared to strengthening the power of the soul as per normal, the passive skill’s condition was not too difficult to achieve.
