Chapter 105: Spiritual Body

In the Main God’s Space, Chen Xiao acquired all the wealth of three superhuman ablers from the United States. Now, he was extremely wealthy.
The wealth possessed by these three superhuman ablers each equaled that of an entire abler family.
As for the Black Tortoise Egg, although it contained only a trace of the life essence from those three superhuman ablers, it still had some minor effects.
For now, Chen Xiao had no intention of returning to the village immediately. This Thousand Souls Domain could be considered his territory, yet it seemed he hadn’t thoroughly explored it yet.
Since there was still time, there was no rush to go back.
Starting from the center of the Thousand Souls Domain—the emerald-green island—there was a vast lake stretching for hundreds of miles, and beyond that, land covering nearly a thousand miles.
In fact, in the eyes of many ablers, a “domain” was merely a small area protected by an abler association’s headquarters or a faction’s stronghold, shielded by abler crystals.
However, the scope of the Thousand Souls Domain was defined by the territory ruled by the two fierce dragons, Ye Longs. Those abler crystals were incredibly magical; the moment Chen Xiao claimed them, the overall layout of the domain appeared in his mind.
According to Shui Miao, abler crystals were actually twin space crystals. Initially, the two Ye Longs carried these crystals as they traveled throughout the Thousand Souls Domain, with everything recorded by them.
These crystals naturally absorbed the essence of the Ye Longs. Now that Chen Xiao had refined the abler crystals, the essence of the Ye Longs also transferred to him.
In the eyes of the fierce beasts and spirits in the Thousand Souls Domain, Chen Xiao appeared as a human-shaped Ye Long. Just the presence of the Ye Long’s essence made these less intelligent creatures fear him greatly.
After greeting the two Ye Longs, Chen Xiao crossed the water and stepped onto the vast land of the Thousand Souls Domain.
During this time, Chen Xiao returned to the secular world once more and used the satellite phone from the Soul of China to call the village, asking the villagers to inform Chen Jianzhou that he was safe and would return later.
Only then did Chen Xiao confidently enter the Thousand Souls Domain to explore. As its master, he could easily return to the island where the purple crystal was located anywhere within the domain that the abler crystals had recorded.
The fierce beasts and spirits in the domain—those powerful ones familiar with the Ye Long’s essence—avoided Chen Xiao like the plague, not daring to provoke him.
Only the foolish lower-tier beasts and spirits, unaffected by the Ye Long’s essence on Chen Xiao, dared to attack him.
Of course, these were mostly first- or second-tier creatures. The spirits were killed instantly by Chen Xiao’s Death Water, becoming nourishment for it, while the beasts were severely wounded by him, and their life essence was extracted using Green Water to become the Black Tortoise’s life force.
As for the higher-tier beasts and spirits, since they didn’t provoke Chen Xiao, he didn’t bother them either.

Taking the large lake at the center of the Thousand Souls Domain as a reference, the lower the distance from it, the weaker the level of the fierce spirits and beasts. Eventually, there are only some first-tier creatures left. The Thousand Souls Domain has not been developed by those with supernatural abilities, and the fierce spirits and beasts here have not been eradicated; their numbers can be described as vast. Along the way, Chen Xiao’s Water of Death absorbed the power of countless fierce spirits, enabling it to counter even third-tier ones. The life essence he gained was comparable to that of ordinary super-tier supernatural beings.

“Chen Xiao, stop!” Suddenly, Shui Miao’s voice echoed in Chen Xiao’s mind. “Beneath your feet lies a medium-sized deposit of low-tier energy crystals, which are the raw materials used to make star coins. If all these crystals are mined, although they won’t compare to the star coins you just obtained, they would still be a considerable fortune,” Shui Miao said.

“Okay,” Chen Xiao nodded. Searching for crystal deposits was indeed his main goal this time. Along the way, he also found many precious spiritual herbs similar to the Heart-Revealing Grass, but he ignored them all.

Chen Xiao slowly extended his right hand, and a soil-yellow light dot emerged from his palm. He conjured a set of earth-based spiritual spells. Although Chen Xiao currently controlled the power of the Water God, since it was still the power of a supreme god, he could easily mimic such a lower form of energy.

Boom! The ground trembled violently, as if an earthquake had struck. The low-tier fierce beasts and spirits hidden nearby were instantly scared away. The ground gradually cracked, and purple light seeped out from the fissures—raw energy stones that had not been processed, emitting their own energy.

Chen Xiao’s set of spells, named “Subvert the Earth,” overturned the ground. The purple crystal deposit slowly rose from beneath the earth. Sweat gradually appeared on Chen Xiao’s forehead. After all, this was the power of earth, not the water spirit he was familiar with. Moreover, earth overcomes water. Although converting the power of the Water God into earth-based spiritual energy freed him from the constraints of the five elements, his strength was still weak, making it extremely difficult for him.

Boom… The purple light grew stronger, almost illuminating half of the sky, turning this gray world purple.

“Woo… woo…” Suddenly, a “wooing” sound came from beneath the ground, seemingly crying or expressing some dissatisfaction, like the whining of a baby.

“Chen Xiao, stop!”

Shui Miao’s mental energy was constantly monitoring the surroundings. Upon hearing that “wooing” sound, she immediately called out to Chen Xiao.

“What’s wrong?” Chen Xiao’s mental energy was protected by the power of the supreme god, so he wasn’t disturbed and could terminate the spells at any time.

“A primordial spiritual entity! There’s actually a primordial spiritual entity down there!” Shui Miao’s voice showed a hint of emotion. “I’ve been struggling to shape Xuanwu’s soul. That unformed primordial spiritual entity down there could serve as Xuanwu’s soul!”

Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up!

There have always been two challenges to reviving Xuanwu: one is the lack of life essence, but this problem is easy to solve—just continuously plunder the life essence of powerful creatures from outside to replenish it. The second, and most difficult, issue is the soul! The Xuanwu in its egg was already dead, its soul completely destroyed. Shui Miao herself is not a living being, so she has no soul and doesn’t know how to create one, which is why she only has a 30% chance of reviving Xuanwu. But now, another soul has formed beneath her eyelids—it’s an innate spiritual body that hasn’t yet taken shape fully, perfect for compensating for Xuanwu’s lack of a soul. “What should I do to capture it?” Chen Xiao took a deep breath, trying to suppress her excitement. “There should be an even larger ore vein down there. This spiritual body must have been born from that ore vein. Let’s go down first.” Shui Miao’s voice returned to its normal state. …
