C71 Leviathan-roc Martial Soul

Yu Kun stepped into the deserted Cultivation Room and promptly retrieved items from the Leviathan-roc Space: a Space Ring, an incomplete Martial Soul core, and the Soul Fixing Fragrance.

Each of these items was incredibly valuable, with the Soul Fixing Fragrance being the most prized. Such treasures were unlikely to be found in the possession of an impoverished disciple, yet Yu Kun held them all.

Once he laid out these treasures, Yu Kun closed his eyes, focusing on the technique to manifest the Leviathan-roc Martial Soul.

After some time, he slowly opened his eyes, reflecting on his next steps.

"The Leviathan-roc System boasts numerous features, and forming the Leviathan-roc Martial Soul is merely one of them. Given my current limited strength, I've only managed to create a mere shadow of the Leviathan-roc Martial Soul! I'll need to ascend to a higher plane to forge its true form. But even this shadowy incarnation is formidable. First, I must feed these items to the baby Leviathan, then proceed as I would with any Martial Soul condensation."

With this plan in mind, Yu Kun immediately offered the items to the baby Leviathan for consumption.

The creature devoured everything. Following this, Yu Kun settled into a meditative posture and began to vigorously engage the system, drawing in the abundant Spiritual Energy of the Cultivation Room.

As he commenced the absorption, he couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

"This is a Grade C Cultivation Room. The Spiritual Energy here is of a caliber at least five times greater than the previous level! And there's more of it too! It's no surprise that Elite Disciples struggle to compete with those from the Inner Sect—the disparity in their cultivation environments is stark!"

With this realization, Yu Kun pushed aside all distractions and dedicated himself to the cultivation process, channeling the Spiritual Energy.

As Yu Kun continued, the Cultivation Room was once again enveloped by a tumultuous shift, this time more violent than any before.

In the Grade C Cultivation Room, two Inner Sect disciples in adjacent chambers were jolted from their diligent practice by a startling occurrence.

"The Spiritual Energy in the Cultivation Room is vanishing!"

"My Martial Soul's power is diminishing! What's happening?"

Similar cries of alarm echoed from the other rooms, as all the disciples grappled with the bewildering phenomenon.

Inside the Grade B Cultivation Room, the Little Prince slowly opened his eyes, which were brimming with astonishment and skepticism.

"Why is the Spiritual Energy absent from the Cultivation Room today? Could the earth vein have dried up? And why is my Martial Soul being drawn to something? What on earth is pulling at it?"

The Little Prince employed a cultivation technique to gradually soothe his restless Martial Soul.

"What sort of force could be this formidable?" he pondered with a furrowed brow, unable to deduce an answer.

"Thank goodness for the secret family technique that allows me to stabilize my Martial Soul! Anyone else might be completely unable to calm theirs, possibly even losing it to this mysterious pull! What is this force, and who is behind it?"

Meanwhile, in the Grade A Cultivation Room, the man with the countenance of sculpted jade opened his eyes once more. This time, however, his composure was shattered as he exclaimed in alarm.

"Why has the Spiritual Energy in the Cultivation Room vanished so abruptly? What force is at play here? The earth veins simply cannot be depleted. Who's responsible for this anomaly in the Cultivation Room?"

He scowled, sensing something amiss.

"My Soul Embryo is being siphoned away! This force is even attempting to claim my Soul Embryo! Luckily, it's stable enough to withstand this. But if someone with lesser cultivation were in my place, their Martial Soul might be completely drained!"

Without hesitation, the man burst out of the Cultivation Room and into the corridor, where he encountered other Elders emerging from their rooms, their faces etched with horror.

"There must have been a disturbance in the earth veins; someone is siphoning the power from the Flying Cloud Sect's source!" he declared with measured gravity. "Such a disturbance couldn't possibly originate from anyone in the Cultivation Rooms. Let's make haste to the earth veins and uncover the truth!"

The Elders nodded in agreement and followed him to the far end of the Grade A Cultivation Room.

A hidden chamber lay there, invisible to the uninitiated.

Upon opening the chamber, they could descend to the lower levels of the Grade A Cultivation Room, directly into the heart of the Flying Cloud Sect's earth veins.

Before proceeding, however, the man and the Elders each ingested a Medicine Pill.

The spiritual energy within the earth veins was so rich that ordinary people couldn't possibly enter. Even if they remained inactive, they would perish instantly. The energy was potent enough to burst a Martial Disciple open.

This is why the seasoned practitioners needed to ingest Medicine Pills and seal their Acupoints before they could safely enter the Earth Vein.

Led by the man, they all made their way into the Earth Vein. To their surprise, they found it empty and everything in perfect order. The Earth Vein was functioning as usual, with no evidence of damage.

The man fell silent, then had an epiphany.

"Back to the Cultivation Room!" he commanded.

They quickly retraced their steps to the Cultivation Room, only to discover that the power there had faded, and the spiritual energy had stabilized.

"What just happened?" he pondered, his brow furrowed. "It appears the disturbance originated in the Cultivation Room! We must get to the bottom of this today!"

A hesitant Elder inquired, "Sect Master, shall we employ the Heavenly Eye?"

"Indeed. Our disciples are in the midst of cultivation; we can't simply interrupt them. We'll have to use the Heavenly Eye to discreetly watch over them."

With that, he proceeded to a concealed chamber.

Unbeknownst to Yu Kun, his actions had once again altered the state of the Cultivation Room.

At that moment, he was focused on forming the Leviathan-roc Martial Soul.

"The spiritual energy here is truly sufficient. The Leviathan-roc Martial Soul is taking shape at last! It's clearly distinct from the typical Martial Souls," Yu Kun noted as he felt the extraordinary changes within him.

He observed subtle shifts in his Qi Sea. From the form of the baby Leviathan, an ethereal shadow began to emerge, resembling the creature's mature form.

The baby Leviathan had an endearing clumsiness, but this shadowy figure bore a different, more majestic air.

As time passed, Yu Kun sensed the spiritual energy waning until it vanished completely.

Within his Qi Sea, the shadowy figure spread its wings, poised for flight.

"It's finally over!" Yu Kun's eyes sparkled with excitement as he burst into laughter. "I've successfully condensed the Leviathan-roc Martial Soul! At long last, I've ascended to the Soul Refining Stage!"

As the Leviathan-roc Martial Soul took shape, Yu Kun could feel Spiritual Energy flooding into his body, transforming his physical form. This transformation was twofold: it not only allowed his body to accommodate the Leviathan-roc Martial Soul but also elevated his strength to a whole new level.

Yu Kun was confident that even without invoking his Martial Soul, his power had multiplied several times over from what it was before!

Previously, Yu Kun was capable of holding his own in a battle with an Inner Sect disciple. Now, having broken through to the Soul Refining Stage, he possessed the might to contend with several Inner Sect disciples simultaneously!

His Growth Value soared, ultimately reaching 32,491. Once his Growth Value hit 500,000, he would be poised for another breakthrough. That is to say, to advance to the Intermediate Rank of the Soul Refining Stage, he still needed to amass over 400,000 more in Growth Value!
