Chapter 616: Netherworld King's Secret Codex

Second update!

“The soul bead is about to shatter.”

The Artifact Spirit had never seen such a situation and was instantly stunned.

Although he had never seen it, he knew what it represented.

The soul bead would only shatter under one circumstance: when testing beyond gold potential.

The limit this soul bead could test was gold potential; even extremely high gold potential could still be tested.

Within the Nether King Civilization, gold potential was already very rare, and most golden potentials had relatively dim golden light. Those that could achieve rich golden light were even rarer.

Therefore, this soul bead was completely sufficient.

But now, when testing Ye Tian's Soul Potential, the soul bead shattered. This indicated that Ye Tian's potential exceeded the soul bead's endurance limit, causing it to shatter naturally.

“A being whose potential surpasses gold, how could such a being exist?!”

The Artifact Spirit was incredibly surprised.

In the Universe where the Nether King Civilization resided, although the Nether King Civilization was the most powerful civilization, no Genius with potential surpassing gold had ever appeared, nor had any being with potential surpassing gold ever appeared in the entire Universe.

Gold was hailed as the highest potential, but now this potential standard had been broken, and it was in a Universe where the Soul Path was suppressed by the Cosmic Rules.

“Is my potential beyond gold?!”

Ye Tian murmured.

He was also very surprised by this.

He knew his potential should be very high, but surpassing gold, to the point of making the soul bead explode, was something he had never imagined.

“Perhaps it has something to do with my Copy Talent!”

Ye Tian speculated.

The essence of the Copy Talent lies in the Soul; it is integrated into the Soul. The Copy Talent is too mysterious and too powerful, effectively increasing the Soul's potential indirectly.

Therefore, this allowed his Soul Potential to reach an incredible level.

“Senior Artifact Spirit, does this count as passing the fifth round of assessment?”

Ye Tian looked at the stunned Artifact Spirit and asked.

“Yes, of course it counts!”

The Artifact Spirit quickly replied.

Then, he added: “Your potential is somewhat beyond my expectations. You don't need to participate in the subsequent sixth and seventh rounds of assessment.

Moreover, I can give you one of the Nether King Civilization's three highest Soul Secret Codices, but only one!”

“Thank you, Senior Artifact Spirit!”

Ye Tian said excitedly.

Whoosh! The Artifact Spirit waved his hand, and three gleaming golden secret codices appeared in Ye Tian's sight.

These were three man-sized secret codices, filled with the aura of Soul Laws.

“These three Supreme Soul Secret Codices are the Black Shroud Secret Codex, the Dark Night Secret Codex, and the Netherworld King's Secret Codex. Among them, the Black Shroud Secret Codex and the Dark Night Secret Codex were created by two of the Nether King Civilization's most top-tier spirits, while the Netherworld King's Secret Codex is somewhat special, having been researched by successive Nether Kings generation after generation. It is the best secret codex, but also the most profound secret codex; even a Nether King may not be able to Cultivate it to a very high Realm.

All three of these secret codices are suitable for you; choose one yourself,” the Artifact Spirit said.

“I choose the Netherworld King's Secret Codex!”

Ye Tian said without hesitation.

“Good!”

The Artifact Spirit selected the Netherworld King's Secret Codex for Ye Tian and handed it to him.

If anyone else had chosen the Netherworld King's Secret Codex, he certainly wouldn't have recommended it, but Ye Tian's potential surpassed gold. If even Ye Tian couldn't Cultivate the Netherworld King's Secret Codex to a very high Realm, it would be even more impossible for others.

Therefore, Ye Tian choosing the Netherworld King's Secret Codex seemed perfectly normal to him.

“You should inherit it here. If you leave the Ghost Realm, you won't be able to take this secret codex with you!”

The Artifact Spirit said.

“Understood!”

Ye Tian nodded.

Immediately, he began to open the Netherworld King's Secret Codex, accepting its inheritance.

As time passed, the inherited content of the Netherworld King's Secret Codex was gradually absorbed by Ye Tian. Countless profound principles integrated into Ye Tian's Soul, deeply etched into his mind.

In a blink of an eye, several days passed.

At this moment, Ye Tian had completely inherited the Netherworld King's Secret Codex.

“What an amazing Netherworld King's Secret Codex! It can actually autonomously help cultivators increase their Soul strength. Based on Soul strength, Soul cultivation can be divided into One to Nine Heavens. Above Nine Heavens is Nether General, above Nether General is Nether God, and above Nether God is Nether Venerable. The outstanding among Nether Venerables can become Soul Supremes.”

According to Ye Tian's calculations, a Nether General is equivalent to the Star System Level and Star River Level, a Nether God is equivalent to the Cosmic God and Ruler levels, and a Nether Venerable belongs to the Heavenly Venerable Realm.

According to the records in the Netherworld King's Secret Codex, Ye Tian's current Soul strength is only equivalent to the Five Heavens, which is still very weak.

Additionally,

The Netherworld King's Secret Codex can not only improve cultivation, but it also records various Soul Secret Arts and the most important Supreme Soul technique—the Netherworld King's Indestructible Soul Body! Once the Netherworld King's Indestructible Soul Body is cultivated, the Soul is almost impossible to destroy. Even if severely injured, it can self-repair in a short time.

Moreover, the Netherworld King's Secret Codex meticulously details various aspects of the Soul Path, making it a veritable Soul encyclopedia! “I've hit the jackpot; this is indeed an incredibly astonishing Opportunity!”

Ye Tian exclaimed inwardly.

Among many races in the Universe, the Soul aspect is generally a weakness. Even some Cosmic Children need to refine Soul Defense treasures, otherwise they can easily be killed by a Heavenly Chosen with a Soul Attack Talent.

This is also true after the Great God-level.

If a Great God-level or higher expert does not possess Soul Defense treasures, they can easily be targeted. Even with Heaven-Defying combat power, they can easily be attacked in the Soul and die.

However, Soul Defense treasures also have limits. If the opponent's Soul Attack exceeds the limit of the Soul treasure, it can easily attack the Soul body itself, leading to severe Soul damage.

For example, if Ye Tian's cultivation was still at the Great God-level, but his Soul had risen to the Nine Heavens, he might even be able to threaten some weaker Cosmic Gods.

“You should leave the Netherworld God Temple. There are multiple Netherworld God Temple entrances in the Thirteen Ghost Realms; do not go looking for other buildings, as the ultimate destination is still here.”

The Artifact Spirit said.

Ye Tian nodded. He had indeed intended to look for other buildings to see if there were any opportunities.

But now that the Artifact Spirit had said so, he naturally wouldn't go looking anymore. Even if he found other buildings, he would still eventually end up at the Netherworld God Temple, which would be a waste of time.

Whoosh! The Artifact Spirit sent Ye Tian out of the Netherworld God Temple.

Ghost Realm.

Ye Tian appeared outside the temple, and the two Soul War Soldier statues were still there.

“It's time to go!”

Ye Tian turned and left.

He wasn't planning to leave the Ghost Realm yet. Instead, he intended to search for more Soul Materials in the Ghost Realm to aid in Soul cultivation.

In the Ghost Realm, not only could those green beads enhance Soul strength, but some rare Materials could also do so.

It was just that Ye Tian hadn't recognized those Materials before and didn't dare to consume them rashly.

But now, the Netherworld King's Secret Codex contained a chapter detailing those Materials, allowing Ye Tian to safely refine them.

“My current Soul strength is only at the Five Heavens. I wonder if utilizing some Materials from the Ghost Realm can allow me to quickly increase my Soul strength in a short period!”

Ye Tian said.

In the following days, Ye Tian began to hunt Soul creatures in the Ghost Realm, collecting those green beads, also known as soul beads, and incidentally searching for some Soul resource Materials. At the same time, he began cultivating the Netherworld King's Secret Codex and the Netherworld King's Indestructible Soul Body.

However, the Netherworld King's Indestructible Soul Body was not so easy to Cultivate; generally, only those who reached the Nether God Realm had hope of cultivating it. But cultivating it slowly now could accumulate a foundation, as it required long-term cultivation and comprehension to achieve, not an overnight success.

Just like that, a year passed! Stone reminds you: three things to do when reading: collect, recommend,
