35 Ye Mo Awakens His Divine Soul (2)

Entering the innermost part of the store, he was once again greeted by the magnificent spectacle that laid in front of him.

The cultivation rooms remained tightly shut as always. The three ponds had faint and gentle ripples, the barrier were surrounding the ponds like a sturdy fortress heavily guarded by armed men. The barrier that encompassed the Soul pond slowly faded, the milky water was bright with no trace of impurities. The pond was incredibly enchanting and mesmerizing.

Ye Mo took a deep breath, he was both nervous and excited, awakening his divine soul before the ceremony filled him with so much joy, the grade of the soul he would awaken remained to be known.

Looking at the Soul pond, his breathing gradually normalized, he dipped his right leg into the pond, "Hiss...." Ye Mo sucked in a deep breath as he hurriedly withdrew his leg from the pond. The biting coldness of the soul pond almost froze his soul. It was the kind of cold that didn't hurt the body but went straight to the soul. He hesitated a little, the feeling of submerging himself into the ice cold pond made him scared. The beautiful pond no longer had any attraction to him because underneath that beauty was a soul freezing cold.

He closed his eyes and jumped into the soul pond, his soul shivered, his heart hardened, he couldn't allow just soul biting cold shake his mind or cause his heart to waver.

In the largest cultivation room, Elder One, the white-haired old man opened his eyes abruptly, "Hmm... This lad is about to awaken his Divine Soul, not bad... Let's see what grade of divine soul he awakens." the expression on his face couldn't be read. He exited closed door cultivation, as he observed what was happening inside the pond from the distance. His hands moved imperceptibly, tapping into his wine gourd. His eyes alternated between hope and nervousness.

Ye Mo felt as though ten thousand ants were crawling out of his soul, destroying his body from within, the pond was not deep, he was quickly submerged inside the pond, bearing with the pain, he hardened his face as he gradually became accustomed to the frequency of the piercing cold. Ten minutes passed, he was gradually immersed in the wondrous feeling of the soul pond. The milky swiftly changed and what replaced it was a boundless, vast and beautiful world.

Ye Mo was dumbfounded, did he travel to another dimension again, he then remembered that the system had earlier mentioned a Divine Soul World, was this the Divine Soul World?

He found his answer quickly, the boundless world trembled, a pure and extremely dense archaic soul energy slowly spread outward, it was a thick fog that covered the vast world in no time. The boundlessness of the world was something that Ye Mo dared not imagined. The most brilliant stars hung in the sky, there were no cloud, just boundless stars that hung in the sky, it was picturesque.

Hazy and incorporeal images emerged slowly, some were gentle, sharp, cold, hot, blunt and enormous; they had varying and different auras.

When they drew closer, Ye Mo finally saw what they were clearly, in their incorporeal forms they became clearer in his sight. Souls, the word rung in his mind.

They were Divine Souls, they hovered around him silently. Ye Mo studied them carefully, he became amazed by his discovery, there were weapons, plants, clothing's and all sorts of things.

An incorporeal lotus flower brushed past him, a ferocious tiger encircled round about him in their incorporeal forms. He had the feeling that the divine souls were sentient, some just circled around him once and floated away, while others floated around him silently, they were more than a thousand.

Ye Mo heard a loud rumble from the deeper part of the boundless world, the divine souls surrounding him fled.

Yes! They fled, it was as if they were afraid of the source of the rumble. Under his astounded gaze, a giant emerged from the inner part of the boundless world, the giant ran with heavy steps, it was more than a thousand feets tall; it skin was covered in bronze matter, it held a sledgehammer as long himself. A louder rumble sounded again, the ground vibrated, cracks formed on the ground, a maniac laughter resounded, it was ear-splitting.

Ye Mo felt dizzy, an even more fiercer giant came from the deeper world, this giant was about ten thousand feets tall, it held a gigantic battle-axe as though it wanted to cleave the heavens.

A broken sword emerged, the sharp sword qi ripped the space apart, it descended with sharpness and terrifying brutality, while still amazed, more came out from the innermost part of the world with greater grandeur and glory.

They assembled before Ye Mo as they scrutinize him closely. There were swords, pills,plants, dragons, phoenixes, books, paintings, cauldrons; they just couldn't be numbered, what was even more surprising was that there were humans amongst them with different auras. Their auras was so suffocating that Ye Mo tried moving back but failed, he realized that he had been rooted to the spot when he first arrived here, checking to see whether he was stucked, he found out that he was in an incorporeal form also. His physical body was in the soul pond, while his soul was in this boundless world.

Boom... All the divine souls shifted backwards simultaneously, runic patterns appeared in their former positions. They contained different and vast elements, it was like a world was hidden inside them. Hands materialized from the runic patterns stretched out towards Ye Mo.

Ye Mo was scared shitless, more than a hundred hands were trying to grab him, it creeped him out, while his heart was overjoyed, judging from the earlier sequence, the patterns were clearly of a higher grade. When the hands were just few inches away from grabbing him, they halted, and withdrew in a flurry. Ye Mo was astounded, he saw to many bizarre things in just one day. Was he not a suitable candidate? Looking at the more than five thousand divine souls, his heart became heavy.

It had been quite a while since he got here, yet he hadn't gotten his divine soul yet which according to the records took a few seconds. The divine souls were in an orderly manner. They parted ways as they shrank back a few feets, Ye Mo was dumbfounded, 'why are they parting way?'

An ordinary looking black sword emerged slowly from the vast boundless world, it floated forward in an unhurried pace, black lightning bolts flashed at it's tip.

Ye Mo was astounded, a sense of dread and terror hit him. The plain looking sword carried a condescending and unruly aura. It overwhelming aura eclipsed the other divine souls.

The black sword stopped before Ye Mo, it buzz slightly, tremors came from the void, black bolts of lightning flashed.

Ye Mo felt a stabbing pain in his soul, the black sword dispersed into speckles of light as they entered his soul, an extremely sharp aura shot out from his soul into the sky, the space tore like a piece of paper.

Ye Mo felt something had been added to his soul. Crash... A piece of information crashed into his mind. The Dao Cleaving Immortal Sword. That was the name of his divine soul. Ye Mo did not know it grade, but he knew it would no doubt be of a very high grade. While he was immersed in his elation, the Divine Soul World shook, the brilliant stars in the void flickered with dim light. Darkness descended the bright world, the divine souls scurried away in haste, a lot a clanging sounds could be heard.

A pitch black moon rose from the deepest part of the Divine Soul World, it brought along infinite darkness.

In the outside world, darkness enveloped the continent once again. They had not recovered from the previous shock yet another wave of darkness befell them.

This darkness covered the entirety of the Kung Fu Continent, all cultivators were blinded by the darkness, eyes techniqes were rendered useless. The heavens rumbled, the space shook.

Solemn looks appeared on the powerful cultivators faces.

The white-haired old man on the mountain peak stood up in fear and undisguised terror, blood poured out from his seven orifices. He fell on his knees as he gazed at the far void with fear.

In the Divine Soul World, the pitch-black moon entered Ye Mo's soul. Calm was restored to the Divine Soul World. Ye Mo had already lost consciousness.

In the outside world, light returned to the Kung Fu Continent. A lot of powerful cultivators were bewildered, they experienced a short moment of darkness and it suddenly vanished, they began to doubt if the heavens were playing tricks on them. While the old and wise cultivators knee without needing anyone to tell them that a rare genius had been born. They secretly sent out their trusted men to search and bring back that genius.
