Chapter 391: The Beginning of Soul Fusion [10,000 Words] (Part 1)
Finally, the night's activities came to an end.
As the families left, they were reluctant to part, but the feelings of 'grievance, complaint, and injustice' were visibly dissipating like smoke.
Before leaving, each of them caressed the tables and chairs of the Guardian Palace with deep affection, murmuring to themselves, though no one knew what they were saying. Tears welled up in their eyes.
Before stepping out of the door, they all stopped at the stone tablet, offering incense once more and taking one last look at their loved ones' names.
In their hearts, they silently said, "You are truly honored."
"We are honored for you, and we are also honored. Rest assured, we won't complain anymore when we return home."
"You are heroes, and so are we!"
Afterward, due to the long journey, the experts from the Guardian Palace took turns escorting them in batches to the inn that had been booked in advance.
Those who lived nearby went straight home.
The others, from different regions, would be escorted home by the Guardian Palace experts the next morning and handed over to the local Guardian Palace.
The crowd gradually thinned out. Along the way, countless family members carried gifts, resources, and medals, repeatedly turning back to look.
They could still vaguely see the Guardian Palace, where incense smoke rose, as if their loved ones were waving goodbye. They couldn't help but feel a warm and bittersweet sensation in their hearts, and tears once again streamed down their cheeks.
Tonight, the sky above the White Cloud Continent was exceptionally clear. The stars were like a woven satin, sparkling in the night sky, serene and eternal, silently expressing deep affection, as if they were about to fall into everyone's dreams.
Fang Che and Ye Meng walked on their way home.
Ye Meng still felt her heart trembling.
She felt the passion and blood surging in her heart.
Under the moonlight, she couldn't help but steal glances at Fang Che's handsome face.
Was he really just acting?
But it was so lifelike.
His aerial somersault, his dignified and stern appearance, truly made one's heart and soul intoxicated...
"What are you looking at?"
Fang Che noticed her sneaking glances.
"Nothing. You look so majestic and handsome tonight." Ye Meng smiled, biting her lip.
This was her bold attempt at testing him.
But Fang Che seemed not to have understood at all. He just smiled and said, "When we get back, I'll show you something even more majestic and handsome."
...
In the evening, Fang Che, feeling refreshed in body and mind, put on his clothes and went to the courtyard, gazing up at the starry sky. He took three pills from the elixir sent by Xing Shao, preparing to cultivate.
After settling down and compressing the elixir within three days, he was confident he could break through to the sixth level of the King Rank.
His spirit felt a sense of relief and relaxation.
It is said that after death, one becomes a star in the sky. Among the countless stars in the sky, how many are guardians watching over the mortal world? Among these countless stars, which one is Old Left?
After this event at the Guardian Palace, Fang Che's heavy heart seemed to have eased a little, especially when he saw the satisfied smiles on the faces of the elders' family members. The wounds in his heart seemed to heal at that moment.
It seemed that his spirit had also been elevated.
He felt infinitely satisfied. Every inch of his meridians seemed to be cheering and rejoicing, feeling extremely refreshed.
"I really hope that all the guardians' families can be as content and happy as this. May they live without worries, enjoy peaceful days, hold their heads high in the face of the world's storms, and never fear or be troubled again."
Fang Che prayed silently in his heart, full of anticipation.
"If one day, I can achieve this for all the guardians in the world, what regrets will I have in this life?"
Fang Che stared at the starry sky, lost in thought.
In the past, whenever he thought of this, Fang Che couldn't help but mock himself: "You're just a ruthless killer in the martial world, lucky to have a second chance at life. With blood on your hands, you're a butcher, yet you dare to dream of being a saint. You're a saint in the making!"
"Why not just be the ruthless killer you are? Why pretend to be a saint?"
But today, he didn't have such thoughts or self-mockery; they didn't even cross his mind.
"Perhaps I used extreme measures against the Demon Sect, or perhaps my methods in the struggle were cruel, or perhaps I have a notorious reputation in this world, but I, Fang Che... truly want to do something meaningful. Even though I am so insignificant now."
"This is my original intention! Perhaps it's foolish, perhaps no one will believe me, perhaps I'll be ridiculed by the world, but I know this is true."
With this thought, he suddenly felt his spirit clarified, and his heart's lake illuminated.
His entire being felt relaxed.
The medicinal power of the elixir slowly spread, and the Boundless Dharma Scripture rapidly turned.
Fang Che's thoughts cleared, and he quickly entered a meditative state.
In his state of joy, his spiritual sense underwent a subtle change, emitting a peaceful and harmonious aura that slowly spread in all directions.
In the sea of divine sense, the little sprite's spirit shook, and it looked around, then breathed deeply with enjoyment, its body floating and feeling extremely relaxed.
It could sense that this was not divine nature but the light of humanity.
This boundless love was the kind of humanity that the little sprite craved to absorb, a rare opportunity.
The little sprite floated, absorbing, and feeling content.
This energy seemed endless, continuously emitting without stopping.
As the little sprite breathed with pleasure, the Nightmare Demon's Divine Shapeless Jade slowly rotated in the sea of divine sense.
With each rotation, a faint glimmer of inner light flashed. Threads of energy slowly seeped from the sea of divine sense, gradually penetrating the Nightmare Demon's body. After turning nine times, the gun tip quietly flashed with a faint cold light.
It was like the most distant and invisible star in the high sky, blinking its eyes after a long time.
As the divine sense power became more potent, the Golden Horned Dragon, which had devoured a fragment of the Nightmare Demon's divine soul, lifted its head from the Divine Shapeless Jade.
The last time the Golden Horned Dragon devoured a fragment of the Nightmare Demon's divine soul, it was a huge boost, but it was also obviously overeating.
During this period, he had been desperately digesting, but it never seemed to be fully digested, leading to a persistent mental slump.
At this moment, a change occurred within the Divine Sense Sea, and under the warm radiance of a great sun, it seemed to accelerate the absorption of the Golden Horned Dragon.
The Golden Horned Dragon was overjoyed, raising its head and stretching its body, curling around the Shapeless Jade of Divinity, its belly fully exposed, as it breathed heavily, desperately sucking in its own stomach...
Fang Che was unaware of the changes in the Divine Sense Sea.
Because soon after this situation occurred, he naturally entered a state of dual oblivion, and the essence energy within his body roared and spun, forming cloud energy in his dantian, piece by piece, gradually becoming dense and layered.
All the essence energy in his body was transformed into the power of the Boundless Dharma Scripture, and after the Boundless Dharma Scripture was activated, it once again transformed into countless cloud energy; it continued until later, when the invisible power flowing through his meridians quietly changed.
A faint mist-like essence energy quietly accompanied the flow of essence energy into the meridians, circulating back and forth, and each time it set out from the dantian, it brought with it a little more cloud energy, entering the meridians...
Unconsciously, the power of the essence energy began to undergo a qualitative change.
The Boundless Dharma Scripture also began to truly change...
Fang Che only felt a slight tremor in his divine soul.
The power of the Boundless Dharma Scripture seemed to transform into golden threads coursing through his body, and in the sea of divine souls, a golden light suddenly flashed.
Although he had never seen this golden light before, at the moment it first flashed, he knew that this was the boundless divine sense that would only appear when one truly entered the realm of cultivating the Boundless Dharma Scripture!
His spirit was delighted, and the Boundless Dharma Scripture had finally reached the true entry point...
The boundless divine sense quietly spread out, leading Fang Che's divine sense, which suddenly spread out boundlessly.
Following the star position he had studied for a long time but only recently truly grasped a little, it seemed to envelop the starry sea within his divine sense...
Although Fang Che's eyes were closed, at this moment, he seemed to suddenly see the vast starry river and the boundless universe.
This was not the starry river that could be seen with physical eyes, but the starry river that could be touched by divine sense.
Countless stars were densely arranged, like a vast net covering all space.
And his boundless divine sense was wandering in this endless starry river.
And this endless starry river was his territory.
His spirit was delighted, but he was aimless, even floating unconsciously, wandering, and hesitating, as if moving forward yet also retreating.
With a shift in thought, thousands of starry rivers passed by, and endless stars entered his heart.
He didn't know how long he had been wandering, but finally... Fang Che only felt a darkness before his eyes.
A deathly aura emanated from the front, and at the same time, there seemed to be a powerful presence approaching him...
A loud boom...
Fang Che's divine sense returned to his body.
Suddenly, his head felt like it was about to split from the pain.
He didn't even have time to see what was in front of him before he could no longer bear it.
With a puff, blood spurted from his five senses and seven apertures, and he sat down on the ground. His vision was filled with golden stars, and his mind was in chaos. For a moment, he couldn't even think.
A huge storm suddenly arose in the Divine Sense Sea.
The little sprite's eyes showed shock and fear, and its small body flew out in the Divine Sense Sea like a rootless duckweed, completely out of control.
The Golden Horned Dragon tightly hugged the Shapeless Jade of Divinity, also terrified.
What just happened?
The divine sense storm lasted for half an hour, and both the little sprite and the Golden Horned Dragon were scared out of their wits.
As the person involved, Fang Che was also scared out of his wits.
What was going on?
What had his divine sense just encountered? At the same time, a sense of shock arose: What level of ant am I now? How could my divine sense come into contact with such a thing?
This was a bit beyond my scope.
Moreover, just from this slight contact, without seeing anything or even entering a certain area, he was almost shaken to the point of his divine soul shattering.
Fang Che broke out in a cold sweat.
I must never do this again.
However, he was truly puzzled in his heart. As a cultivator of two lifetimes, according to reason, his divine sense should only be able to reach a few hundred zhang... right?
How could it have come into contact with something that was clearly beyond the distance of cognition?
Sitting on the ground for a full quarter of an hour, he finally felt his body regain control.
Then he quickly tried to mobilize his essence energy, only to find that it flowed smoothly, even more powerful than before, with threads of cloud energy flowing through his meridians. After more than a dozen cycles, his body completely recovered.
Then he looked at the Divine Sense Sea, which was calm, but it seemed to have... doubled in size? Fang Che was stunned.
What did I do?
Oh, that was the boundless divine sense, it seems like I had a sudden realization?
But why is the effect so good?
The little sprite and the Golden Horned Dragon still stared with terrified eyes, their faces showing a dazed shock.
Fang Che, awakening from the shock of his divine sense, was shocked once again.
"When... did I break through to King Rank Six? And the compression effect is so good, how did the cloud energy increase so much?"
This unexpected breakthrough was far greater than Fang Che's most ideal breakthrough, with much more cloud energy in the dantian.
This surprised Fang Che.
How could there be such a mysterious thing?
Frowning, Fang Che felt something was wrong. I prepared for three days to make this breakthrough. How could I surpass it in just one night? And the pill given by Star Shao was similar to the basic level pill given by Chen Yin before, so it definitely couldn't be because of the pill.
Recalling his divine sense unconsciously wandering in the void...
Could it be because of this? Or...
If it was because of this, Fang Che didn't want it to happen again, because... in the void, there was a terrifying existence, or a terrifying void, and just approaching it, without knowing how far it was from truly entering, he couldn't bear it.
If there was another time, he would explode his divine soul on the spot, and it wouldn't be anything unusual. Moreover, Fang Che believed that the other party could definitely do it!
However, no matter what, the breakthrough effect beyond his expectations was still worth celebrating.
So Fang Che immediately took out those two Soul Fusion Pills.
He had reached the sixth rank of the King level.
He had made it! The gift that Dongfang Sansan had given him on his wedding day, Fang Che had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Now that he had finally broken through, he didn't want to wait any longer.
He circulated his inner energy, cleared his mind, and calmly entered the state of introspection.
He threw the two Soul Fusion Pills directly into his mouth.
His divine sense power tightly enveloped the Divine Shapeless Jade, and even the Golden Horned Dragon was driven away to the side.
The Golden Horned Dragon curled up pitifully like a small lotus, its two small eyes filled with sorrow, as if it had been kicked out of its home with nowhere to go.
It wanted to gain the sympathy of the sprite and hide in the Netherworld for a while.
But the sprite directly grabbed its tail and punched it ten thousand miles away in the Divine Sense Sea.
Friends are friends, and brothers are brothers, but do you want to enter my body?
Why would you want to do that?
The Golden Horned Dragon could only float in the Divine Sense Sea.
However, it soon became terrified.
Because it discovered that the Divine Sense Sea was becoming increasingly vast and profound.
Floating on the surface of the sea, it could clearly feel this, as if the depths beneath it were constantly expanding, and the waves also seemed to be getting more and more vast.
The Golden Horned Dragon's feeling was accurate.
The medicinal power of the Soul Fusion Pills dispersed, and Fang Che could clearly feel that not a single bit of the medicine was wasted, as it all entered the Divine Sense Sea.
Then it turned into two huge fountains.
Countless new springs gurgled from below, nourishing the Divine Sense Sea.
In the middle of the two huge fountains, a Divine Shapeless Jade lay across.
It existed in reality, yet it seemed as insubstantial as air, with countless divine sense powers passing through it and surging out.
The Divine Shapeless Jade lay across, yet it had no effect in blocking the flow.
Fang Che's divine sense power tightly enveloped the Divine Shapeless Jade, and he vaguely felt that there was an unknown force seeping into the Divine Shapeless Jade.
And within the Divine Shapeless Jade, something seemed to be disintegrating and melting away.
It was as if an infinite amount of water was constantly rushing to melt a block of ice that had been frozen for millions of years.
Although the ice was solid and sturdy, it was slowly melting, and then being washed away by the water.
It shrank and melted bit by bit.
Fang Che had a realization in his heart—it was a form of energy, or perhaps it should be said... it was an energy that originally belonged to someone, an energy that someone had used their divine sense power to construct.
Now, it had become ownerless, and there was no consciousness within it. To put it simply, it was like... the pure energy inner core of a demon beast that had died many years ago.
Fang Che silently absorbed the medicinal power, forcibly enduring the discomfort of his rapidly growing divine sense.
Because he knew that the medicinal power had not yet been fully released, not even a tenth of it.
There was still more to endure.
Because Xue Fuxiao had once said that after consuming the pill, one couldn't move their divine sense for three days. In other words, the medicinal effect would likely continue for three days.
And the thing that was melting inside wouldn't be able to melt completely in a short time.
He took a deep breath, enveloped the Divine Shapeless Jade with his divine sense, allowing the medicine to disperse naturally, but he stood up.
There was no way he could remain still for three days.
So he had to be able to perform any action under these circumstances.
With a flash of his body, he disappeared in the courtyard.
...
The wind howled in the early morning hours.
The Starlight Commander had arrived at the Tianxia Escort Agency.
"Welcome to the world of escorts, where every journey is an adventure, and every mission is a legend in the making! As the sun rises on this fine morning, we bid farewell to the last batch of young masters and young ladies from prestigious families. It's a bittersweet moment, as we've shared countless memories of our time together. But fear not, for some of us, the adventure continues! Zhao Wushang, our beloved friend, has been chosen to stay and continue his journey with the agency. A round of applause for Zhao Wushang and Zheng Yunqi, who will be our shining stars, leading the way forward! As they embark on their new path, let's not shed tears of sorrow, but rather, let's celebrate the new beginnings! So, my friends, raise your glasses, and let's toast to the future, to the adventures that await us, and to the unbreakable bonds we've forged!"
The atmosphere at the agency's entrance was heavy with emotion. The 194 young masters and young ladies who were about to leave couldn't hide their sadness, and their desire to cry was almost unbearable.
But when Zhao Wushang appeared, everyone's mood lightened.
"Hey, looks like someone's had it worse than us!"
Seeing Zhao Wushang's battered appearance, they couldn't help but feel a little better.
As they bid each other farewell, suddenly, someone realized something was amiss.
