Chapter 779: 1,000,000 Transformation

Chapter 779: 1,000,000 Transformation

Unfortunately, the students in the university all wore the same outfit and type of mask. Their auras and magical technique fluctuations were changed. Even their voice and general physical stature was altered so that one’s identity was completely secret. It wasn’t even possible to identify gender differences.

Therefore, though Xu Qing felt the need to be on guard, he actually had no idea who this person could be. After all... after this big development for the Xeno-Immortal School, there were a lot more people paying attention to them. And there were obviously going to be multiple people digging for information.

Looking at the student who had asked the question, Xu Qing said, “I’m a new member, so there’s a lot I don’t understand. But now that you mention it, I guess our schoolmaster is like that.”

The student looked thoughtfully at the schoolmaster, then back at Xu Qing. Although this was her first time looking at Xu Qing up close, given how few people were actually members of the Xeno-Immortal School, she had long since dug up a bit of information about all of them. Although she didn’t know the true identities of any of the members, she did know how long they had been members and what they were known for accomplishing within the university grounds. In fact, that was common knowledge by this point.

And of course, her information mentioned this new student who called himself Sir Dark-Thunder. She knew that he had just joined this school of thought, and though she had some suspicions regarding his identity, she put them aside. Based on her personal experience from that day, she was certain that the enigmatic master everyone was wondering about couldn’t be a brand new member.

Beyond that, she wasn’t interested in who Sir Dark-Thunder really was. Right now, she was thinking about the handful of words she had exchanged with that master from the Xeno-Immortal School. Taking a few steps forward, she faced the schoolmaster, who was sitting there with his eyes closed. Clasping hands, she bowed at the waist.

“Schoolmaster, I would like to join the Xeno-Immortal School.”

Everyone else in the tower looked over. Although a lot of students had come to ask about the school recently, this was the first who had actually asked to join.

Beneath his mask, Xu Qing’s eyebrows shot up, and the vigilance in his heart grew more intense. It made sense that so many people had come around seeking information. But for someone to suddenly ask to join was unusual.

Even the schoolmaster seemed surprised as he opened his eyes and looked at the group of students.

He looked dignified, but at the same time, extremely happy. That said, he sounded very relaxed as he said, “Our school of thought has a rule. Only conclave students can learn our techniques!” Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

Eyes flashing with determination, the young woman said, “That’s fine! But I have three questions that I’m hoping you can clear up for me, schoolmaster.”

The schoolmaster looked closely at the group of students to identify the one who was asking the questions. He smiled.

“Go ahead.”

“My first question is about souls. I heard that your school of thought teaches a technique to make soul threads. And that requires the constant improvement of the soul. So, does the Xeno-Immortal School have any unique or unusual soul-nourishing techniques?”

As she spoke, she kept her attention focused closely on the schoolmaster’s eyes.

His eyes remained completely calm as he answered, “The Summer Immortal’s lone thought brings the immortal body into play. This concept becomes as deep as the sea, the soul will reach fruition.”

Everyone in the tower hesitated. In the past, most people would have scoffed at such words, as they were seemingly nothing more than jibber-jabber. But considering that a true master had emerged from the Xeno-Immortal School, someone with hundreds of thousands of soul threads, people were now paying close attention to such things. Even the three conclave students all seemed to be committing the words to memory.

Only Xu Qing reacted, blinking a few times.

The young woman frowned under her mask, thought for a moment, then asked her second question.

The identity of the enigmatic master from the Xeno-Immortal School continued to be the subject of a tempest of rumors. However, because no further incidents occurred, the schoolmaster’s proud announcements of a revival of the school turned out to be empty words.

After all, any kind of excitement will die down after the passage of enough time. At first, hundreds of students a day were visiting the school to ask for information. But soon that number dwindled to dozens.

Even still, the school was dramatically busier than before. Nine more students joined, bringing the total student population up to thirteen. The students were a very mixed lot that came from a variety of backgrounds. At first, they asked a lot of vague questions, but eventually their questions became more direct. Xu Qing and the other four students stuck close to the new arrivals and had a lot of discussions with them.

Half a month of observation had convinced Xu Qing that the fifth student to join... was definitely the mysterious young woman he had fought. He remembered her aura when she attacked. It had seemed like part-cultivator, part-god. It was almost a different type of power that was as domineering as a cultivator and as aggressive as a god.

What am I dealing with here? In all of the research he had done in the various schools of thought in the Imperial University, he hadn’t found any clues that might explain the situation. Eventually, he put the matter aside.

His cultivation of soul threads reached an even higher level. The Xeno-Immortal School actually did have a higher-level method of soul cultivation that went a lot faster than the ordinary method. In order to prove that he was telling the truth, the schoolmaster demonstrated the technique, although only to Xu Qing and the other four conclave students.

He was careful to explain that it was a transitional technique, and wasn’t the actual private technique. He said he would explain the real technique later based on the age and qualifications of the students.

His words seemed effective. As a result, the spies from the various other organizations gained a renewed interest in the subject.

The technique was definitely more effective, but in the end, didn’t provide a very significant boost. To the other three conclave students, it might result in an extra one or two soul threads in an entire month.

But things were different for Xu Qing. By using the higher-level technique with Crimson Mother’s flesh, he was able to significantly increase the production of soul threads.

As a result, during the half month that passed, he absorbed almost everything possible from Crimson Mother’s flesh. The result was that he was very close to 1,000,000 soul threads.

He only needed three more. That night, he had planned to go all out to make those final threads.

At the moment, he was thoughtfully contemplating the nearly complete set of godsource soul threads. They weren’t active like they had been in the past. It was as if they took themselves more seriously. What was more, they were pulsing with an aura of transformation.

Xu Qing pondered the situation. He got the feeling that if he reached 1,000,000 soul threads, a dramatic transformation would occur. He wasn’t sure of the details, and there wasn’t any information in the technique description. From ancient times until now, no one in the Xeno-Immortal School had ever accumulated such a terrifying level of soul threads. In fact, not even the creator of the technique had ever cultivated it to that level.

Xu Qing’s eyes glittered as the sensation of transformation became stronger.

What’s going to happen...?

Focusing on the techniques, he continued with his cultivation.

After an incense stick of time passed, a soul thread appeared in his sea of consciousness, glittering brightly. When it appeared, all of the other soul threads vibrated. The aura of transformation grew stronger.

Xu Qing kept working. About an hour later, a second soul thread appeared, and Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness vibrated loudly. Two hours later, the final soul thread appeared. He had a complete set of 1,000,000 soul threads!

And that was when a transformation without parallel in history began in his sea of consciousness!
