Chapter 637: Chapter 291: Soul Monarch, Seal of the Suppressed Soul

“Soul Formless, Born of the Emperor…”

The ancient voice resounded in Jack Clark’s heart like the great tolling of a bell, and the floating text in the sky began to spin, then with a boom, it rushed into his Sea of Consciousness.

Instantly, a surge of information exploded within Jack Clark’s Sea of Consciousness.

This was an inheritance of a Soul Cultivation Method, envisioning one’s own soul as sovereign.

Under normal conditions, a cultivator would only be able to touch upon the soul after reaching the Ninth Heavens; the stronger the soul, the greater the understanding of and the power over rules.

But there are distinctions in strength as well.

A soul of equivalent strength, before any cultivation, is like a 300-pound obese man, with flaccid fat all over his body, while a soul that has practiced a Soul Cultivation Method is like a martial artist, robust and formidable.

Beyond that, Cultivation Methods of this level are inherited through the will of the soul, not mere text, therefore they can be understood and learned even by civilizations with different languages.

However, the difficulty of reaching the soul before the Nine Layers is high, and even Cultivation Methods from ancient inheritances would require an object that Suppresses the Soul to be cultivated.

Such as the black seal in Jack Clark’s hand.

In ancient times, every disciple of the Illusion Gate would receive an Ethereal Soul Device made of special materials to bridge their physical bodies and souls during cultivation.

Such a Soul Device is an Initial Soul Treasure; it holds no significant power of its own, but it can become unfathomably terrifying as it carries rules and the soul undergoes Tempering.

Under the night, bathed in the glow of firelight, Jack Clark slowly opened his eyes, revealing a look of astonishment.

He had not expected that the inheritance he had obtained this time involved a Soul Cultivation Method, something that felt somewhat similar to Sky King Denny Kaye’s Level 9 Divine Lotus.

At that moment, with a thought from Jack Clark, a transparent page appeared before his eyes.

Cultivation Methods: Illusion Meditation Scripture [First Layer, not yet entered.]

Tip: The current method is of the Soul category; Attribute points converted from Life Energy are ineffective on it, and Soul Points from Soul-type energy conversion are needed for strengthening.]

Attribute points can’t enhance? Jack Clark’s gaze landed on the footnote, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Attribute points come from Life Energy and can be transformed to enhance talents or Cultivation Methods, all of which indeed involve the body.

Although Attribute points cannot directly be used for enhancement, Jack Clark could still enter the threshold of the method because of his Inheritance; but his progress in cultivation afterwards would definitely not be as rapid as enhancement.

Moreover, he did not have many Attribute points left in his hands; for the final sprint on the Road to Becoming a God, he could not use them even if he was able to enhance now.

Thoughtful, Jack Clark activated the inheritance seals formed by the characters in his Sea of Consciousness with a thought.

Boom! The inheritance seals once again exploded into countless characters, and instantly an invisible Soul Power was drawn out, enshrouding the Soul Suppressing Seal in Jack Clark’s hand.

Under the deluge of boundless Soul Power, the originally solid black seal slowly became ethereal and then merged into Jack Clark’s chest, sinking deeper and deeper.

In the dark, void, soul ‘world’ undetectable by the senses, a hand large enough to cover the sky reached out from the darkness as soon as the Soul Suppressing Seal appeared, lightly gripping the Seal.

With the Soul Suppressing Seal as a bridge, for the first time, Jack Clark clearly sensed the existence of his own soul.

Vague, yet immeasurably vast.

Under the repeated Evolution feedback from the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon, the Four Major Attributes representing all aspects of Jack Clark’s body were also growing in sync, becoming more and more powerful.

Including the soul, which was also becoming stronger under the plentiful nourishment of Spirit Qi.

It was only with a strengthening soul that Jack Clark could maintain his link with the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon, which had reached Level 9, always remaining in sync.

It was only because of the Giant Beast Avatar that Jack Clark’s soul had been suppressing the Soul Channel in some unknown depth all this time.

Today was the first time he had touched his own soul; the only descriptors for it were immense, vast, and also ‘ethereal,’ lacking concentration.

Boom! As the Illusion Meditation Scripture ‘circulated,’ a terrifying soul fluctuation burst forth from the depths of the darkness.

Immediately, Jack Clark felt the ‘connection’ with the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon become a bit tighter, and the bidirectional control of consciousness became more flexible and independent.

Just as Jack Clark began to cultivate the Illusion Meditation Scripture, under the influence of the soul fluctuations, the three-faced, six-armed Combat Shadow in his Sea of Consciousness vibrated at its brow.

The Incomplete Rune of Cut through the Void, which had originally formed under the Limit Enhancement in the Third Layer Heaven by the combination of his will and the power of the Cultivation Methods, now trembled slightly upon feeling the Soul Power.

Hum! The Blade of Void Cutting Rune emitted a suction force, absorbing strands of Soul Energy that were being released during the cultivation of the Illusion Meditation Scripture.

This change took Jack Clark by surprise and also filled him with anticipation, wondering what would happen after the special rune absorbed Soul Energy.

Would it evolve into a complete rune, or would it give rise to new abilities?

Because of the Inheritance, Jack Clark spent that night practicing the Illusion Meditation Scripture, finally achieving an entry level by dawn.

In the Ruins Continent, seated in meditation throughout the night, Jack Clark slowly opened his eyes, his gaze profound and carrying with it an intense pressure, the pressure that comes from the soul.

After practicing the Illusion Meditation Scripture, Jack Clark’s vast Soul Power had become much more focused and condensed.

What followed was continuous cultivation, ultimately leading to the grand accomplishment of the method, and the soul becoming ‘Monarch’; at that time, the fusion of the Monarchical Soul with the Rule True Body would be terrifyingly powerful.

This path had been very special even in ancient times, because the Illusion Meditation Scripture was incredibly difficult to cultivate, requiring an Innate foundation where the soul was more than five times stronger than peers at the same level.

And because of Jack Clark’s strong soul, once he cultivated this method to a grand accomplishment, he would be stronger than the historical kings of the Illusion Gate.

Sensing the imposing and invisible pressure emanating from Jack Clark, Jane Aiken, opposite him, expressed her amazement, “Such significant change in just one night, could it be that the inheritance you’ve obtained is a complete Cultivation Method?”
