Bai Lungâs expression hardened at the Sect Masterâs revelation. âWhy are you telling me all this? Trying to intimidate me?â
The Sect Master chuckled, leaning back on his throne.
âIntimidate you, puny ant? No, Iâm simply enlightening you, opening your eyes to the reality of your situation,â
The dark space felt heavy for a moment as Bai Lung absorbed the information.
Reincarnated⦠Hated by the heavens⦠A cheat that devours souls? The old man seems to know about him.
The Sect Master continued, âAnd as for the âInvincible Systemâ, let me warn you⦠Itâs quite troublesome, you know. The more you use it, the more it wants to drain your soul,â
Bai Lung clenched his fists, trying to remain calm, âAnd what is this Tao-Yi you keep mentioning? You said I donât have it.â
The Sect Master chuckled once more.
âThatâs correct, little junior. Tao-Yi is the essence of a personâs being, their true nature. Something you seem to lack, as a product of reincarnation⦠Tao-yi is the mother of Soul, consciousnessâ¦
You are essentially a being without a proper soul or well manifested soul. You are nothing but a partially conscious husk who will never reach the truth.
Tao-yi is the reason one has a proper soul, powerful consciousness, X, and ohm.
Consciousness is the base element for the formation of Tao-Yi, a unique essence present in all beings, the one that gives you your unique personality and existence.
The âXâ refers to the unknown, the potential, the endless amount of possibilities waiting to manifest once someone obtains consciousness, a vital to reach primordial.
âOhmâ is the sound of creation, the element of destiny itself, and the vibration of all.
Till now you have lived a proper life because you are from a lower realm but once you hit the nihility realm your progression will hit rock bottom since you donât possess Ohm and âXâ â
Hearing all this, Bai Lung was silent, unable to fathom a single word coming from this old man.
So, he was nothing but a puppet with a deformed soul? The system is nothing but a means for someone else to nourish him and devour him?
So, he is basically a human pill cod some immortal?
Bai Lung refused to believe it.
âYou lack a root, You donât have a proper source of origin not to mention you are in the Ensoulment realm but you havenât unlocked your Soul Sea,â The Sect Master added.
âSoul Sea?â Bai Lung repeated feeling confused.
âSoul sea refers to 8 seas of soul, that can strengthen oneâs soul once you reach the Ensoulment realm you should be about to awaken your soul seaâ¦
The soul originates from 8 spiritual elements which are classified as seas, they are:-
1) Sea of perception
2) Sea of Heavenly book
3) Sea of Tome
4) sea of origin roots
5) sea of authority
6) sea of balance
7) sea of fate and destiny
8) sea of Truth â
Bai Lung felt a pang of unease in his chest. He hadnât expected this.
To be told that he was trash in a way that it felt like a blow to his identity.
The Sect Master saw the turmoil on Bai Lungâs face and smiled coldly. âYou see now, donât you? You think you are strong because you have some kind of power-up that gives you unparalleled powers⦠But the truth is, everything you have achieved this far, it is not truly yours,â the Old man said, his words dripping with condescension.
Bai Lungâs mind was racing, struggling to wrap his mind around all this.
He felt vulnerable, exposed⦠As if his very existence was nothing more than a cosmic joke.
Bai Lungâs mind was a storm of emotions.
He felt anger, frustration, and a gnawing sense of helplessness. But amidst the chaos, a steely resolve began to form.
He wouldnât let the Sect Master see his turmoil.
He had to remain composed, at least outwardly.
âSo, what now?â Bai Lung asked, his voice steady despite the tempest within.
âYou have enlightened me. Whatâs your next move? Going to strip me of my so-called power?â
The Sect Master leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with a predatory light. âYou misunderstand, puny ant. Iâm not here to strip you of anything. Iâm here to offer you a choice.â
âA choice?â Bai Lungâs skepticism was palpable upon hearing the word of the sect master
âAnd what choice is that?â he asked curiously.
âYou can continue on your current path,â the Sect Master said, his tone almost conversational, âblindly following the whims of the Invincible System, letting it drain your soul until thereâs nothing left⦠The soul can allow you to fight against anyone below nihility realm Orâ¦â he paused, letting the weight of his words sink in, creating that dramatic effect for suspense.
â or what? â Bai Lung subconsciously asked.
â Or⦠You can awaken Tao-Yi yourself, the girl brought you here for that,â he said looking at Bai Lung.
âI donât know why that girl opened herself to you, since I canât see your past, I will let it be a mystery in my mind⦠However trial of souls is a trial, that can allow one to strengthen oneâs soul, and increase its cultivation but a soul can only enter the trials once,
But there is more to it, it holds the power of truth if you can comprehend it, it can help you awaken Tao-Yi and regain your âsoleâ existence but⦠â
âBut⦠What? If you are telling me such information, I believe you are going to grant me the opportunity or you may be a sadist, then again⦠If you are going to let me, then what is the carrot the rabbit wants?â
âWhat do I want? Donât make me laugh, you arenât in a position to offer anything to me, even your existence is nothing more than a pollution to me,â The sect master uttered.
âThen?â
âWell thatâs true you have nothing to give me, but, there is something you can do⦠â The Sect master uttered.
