Chapter 82: Soul Control Realm

“Take this, and this,” Baizhi placed bottle after bottle of pills in Zhanyue’s hands. “These pills will help you with your breakthrough.”

The fire lynx beside them couldn’t help but comment, “Little girl, you’re overthinking out of concern. With young Zhan’s talent, breaking through to the Soul Control Realm should be a piece of cake, right?”Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

Baizhi’s pretty face reddened again, “It’s not the same. I’ve heard that people with greater talent actually find it harder to break through realms. Zhanyue can match those at the ninth stage of Soul Control while still in the Spirit Communication Realm. We can’t be careless with his breakthrough.”

Zhanyue put away the pills and said to the fire lynx, “Senior, I’ll go break through now. Once my realm improves, I should be able to help you better.”

The fire lynx nodded. It had already mastered the Three Flavors Fire Fusion Technique and only needed to wait for Zhanyue. After all, this was their technique, and it was indeed much more difficult for Zhanyue to cultivate.

The fire lynx’s lair was very large. One of the newly excavated caves became Zhanyue’s breakthrough location. He closed the wooden door of the cave and settled his mind, sensing the changes in his internal realm.

In the lair, Baizhi watched the two little cat demons play-fighting, her eyes occasionally glancing towards the cave where Zhanyue was.

The little white cat had now advanced to a fourth-grade spirit beast, matching the little black cat’s level. The two little cat demons fought evenly, with the fire lynx guiding them from the side. Both beasts were growing extremely fast.

“Senior, can spirit beasts transform into human form?” Baizhi asked curiously.

The fire lynx nodded, “When spirit beasts break through to the eighth grade, they become Beast Emperors. This is the end point of cultivation for the vast majority of spirit beasts. Breaking through further to the ninth grade allows them to take human form. Of course, there are some exceptions. Some spirit beasts have transformation as their bloodline divine ability, allowing them to take human form at very low levels. These two little ones also have ancient divine beast bloodlines, so they have a chance to advance to ninth-grade spirit beasts and take human form. However, I, Old Xiang, have only reached the seventh grade after so many years. It’s incredibly difficult for spirit beasts to cultivate to the ninth grade.”

“I see. Senior, do you know how I can awaken the bloodline in my body?” Having learned about her Vermilion Bird bloodline, Baizhi naturally wanted to awaken this power.

The fire lynx shook its head, “I don’t know. Each divine beast race has different ways of awakening their bloodline. This matter might only be known by... no, the Vermilion Bird Palace has long been destroyed. Who knows if there are any other Vermilion Bird bloodlines left in the world? They might know.”

Zhanyue looked at the spirit fruits and pills beside him, thought for a moment, and decided not to end his seclusion. Instead, he consumed these pills and spirit fruits, continuing to improve his realm.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. By the time Zhanyue had digested all the pills and spirit fruits, he had reached the third stage of Soul Control.

“That should be enough. If I cultivate any further, Senior might get anxious.”

As soon as he left the cave, a familiar face greeted him. “Why did it take so long?” Baizhi’s face looked a bit haggard, her eyes showing both worry and some reproach.

“It’s fine now. Why do you look so tired?” Zhanyue stroked her small face tenderly.

“Ahem, stop showing your affection in front of Old Xiang. Young Zhan, you’ve gained quite a lot from this seclusion. Let’s focus on practicing the Three Flavors Fire Fusion Technique. You know you can only stay in the secret realm for a year at most,” the fire lynx urged. It was the most anxious one.

“Alright, Senior. I’ll take a bath and start right away. I feel uncomfortable all over after this seclusion,” Zhanyue said.

In a huge wooden tub, Zhanyue lay comfortably, enjoying a massage from a pair of small hands, feeling utterly content.

“Although we’re safe in this lair, what about the points?” Baizhi asked worriedly as she massaged Zhanyue.

“You’re still thinking about that eighth-grade pill formula? Don’t worry, I’ll figure out the points issue. But your problem can’t be solved by an eighth-grade pill formula. Leave it to me, okay?” Zhanyue patted Baizhi’s small hand, thinking to himself that he couldn’t possibly let Baizhi marry that Golden Pill Immortal. At worst, he’d have his big sister appear and smash that dog’s head.

“Mm,” Baizhi didn’t know what method Zhanyue had, but she chose to trust him unconditionally.
