Supreme Lord of Towers

After half a cup of tea’s time, Ye Chen disposed of the corpses of Luo Xing and Tuoba Lie.

The Canglan Mountain Range was teeming with demon beasts, perilous to the extreme.

Thus, even if Luo Xing and Tuoba Lie perished here, no one would suspect it was his doing.

As for the belongings of Luo Xing and Tuoba Lie, aside from those fifteen beast cores and the piece of beast hide paper, Ye Chen took nothing else.

For example, Tuoba Lie carried a rather fine treasure saber on him, which had reached the sharp weapon level.

However, Ye Chen did not take it, as it would easily arouse suspicion that Tuoba Lie’s death was related to him.

”Tuoba Lie’s treasure saber, although a sharp weapon, worth hundreds of ordinary spirit stones, could easily be recognized. I won’t be foolish enough to carry it,” Ye Chen thought to himself.

In this world, weapons also have levels.

Weapons forged from refined iron are only considered ordinary weapons and aren’t qualified to be termed sharp weapons.

Only weapons crafted from rare metals or materials from demon beasts have the hope of becoming sharp weapons.

Sharp weapons are incredibly sharp, able to cut through iron like mud, and can even harm demon beasts with extremely strong defense power.

However, sharp weapons are exorbitantly expensive, requiring at least a hundred ordinary spirit stones to purchase, equivalent to ten thousand taels of gold.

A cultivator in the True Qi Realm cannot afford them.

However, as a Half-Step Gang Qi Realm powerhouse, it was normal for Tuoba Lie to own a sharp weapon.

Unfortunately, he was killed by Ye Chen before he had the chance to use the sharp weapon in battle.

”Sharp weapons can generally only be used against cultivators in the True Qi Realm, but when faced with a Gang Qi Realm Qi Dao Master, they’re not very useful. Only spiritual artifacts can pose a significant threat to a Qi Dao Master.” Ye Chen mumbled to himself while flying deeper into the ancient forest.

Spiritual artifacts, a level higher than sharp weapons, are divided into lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, and top grade.

Even the poorest lower grade spiritual artifact is as sharp as a divine weapon and can easily cut through a Qi Dao Master’s Gang Qi.

However, only exceptionally powerful Divine Soul Masters can refine lower grade spiritual artifacts, making them frightfully expensive. Even Qi Dao Masters may not be able to afford them.

Even a large family like the Ye Family possesses only two lower grade spiritual artifacts, one of which is controlled by Ye Chen’s adoptive father, Ye Ming.

As for middle grade spiritual artifacts, it’s likely the entire Kunzhou Prefecture wouldn’t have a single one.

Time flew by, and before he knew it, night fell silently.

Ye Chen was now sitting cross-legged in a very hidden cave.

This place was rarely visited and extremely secluded, so Ye Chen intended to go into seclusion here for a while to cultivate.

”Master, your evolutionary power has surpassed ten points, so you may use it to evolve various living things, including your dantian and brain, which fall under this category.” The Tower Spirit emerged from Ye Chen’s sea of consciousness and smiled faintly.

Once the evolutionary power surpasses ten points, it can be used to evolve other parts of Ye Chen’s body.

Before entering the Canglan Mountain Range, Ye Chen only had three points of evolutionary power, so he hadn’t been able to use it to evolve his brain.

Now, however, after killing the likes of Luo Xing, he had obtained eighteen points of evolutionary power, making it time to evolve his brain.

”Tower Spirit, can evolutionary power evolve other things besides living beings, like weapons?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

If evolutionary power could evolve weapons, he could potentially use it to create an unparalleled divine artifact in the future.

”Impossible, evolutionary power only affects living things. It cannot be used to enhance weapons, martial arts techniques, or other inanimate objects,” the Tower Spirit shook its head.

”Alright, I understand,” Ye Chen smiled bitterly, a thick sense of regret flickering in his eyes.

It seemed his idea was indeed too naïve.

”Master, you should first evolve your brain. Your soul is closely connected to your brain. Once you unlock the brain’s potential with evolutionary power, your soul will naturally grow stronger. And as your soul becomes powerful enough, it will condense into a divine soul puppet,” the Tower Spirit said.

He told Ye Chen that divine soul cultivation is also divided into several realms.

The first realm is called the Soul Condensation Realm, which means condensing the cultivator’s originally intangible soul into a divine soul puppet.

However, initially, this divine soul puppet is not very useful and cannot enhance a cultivator’s combat power.

Only when the divine soul is cultivated to the second realm, the Exorcism Realm, can the divine soul puppet’s power be converted into telekinesis to manipulate various objects.

Once reaching this stage, a Divine Soul Master’s power undergoes a groundbreaking transformation.

Even Gang Qi Realm Qi Dao Masters would be highly wary of them.

”I will now use all eighteen points of evolutionary power to enhance my brain.” As Ye Chen focused his thoughts, those eighteen golden light points within the Evolution Divine Tower immediately penetrated deep into Ye Chen’s skull, continuously nourishing his brain.

After several breaths.

Ye Chen’s brain absorbed all eighteen points of evolutionary power.

His thoughts became unprecedentedly clear, and his problem-solving speed increased significantly.

This left Ye Chen both surprised and delighted.

To think that just by using eighteen points of evolutionary power, his brain could undergo such a major transformation.

If one day, he could use evolutionary power to fully unlock the brain’s potential.

How terrifying would his thought process become?

The thought left him both excited and expectant.

”Master, a small portion of your brain’s potential has been unlocked, which should be enough to condense a divine soul puppet,” the Tower Spirit smiled faintly.

”How do I condense the divine soul?” Ye Chen couldn’t help but ask.

As he knew, Divine Soul Masters require a cultivation technique to cultivate the divine soul; otherwise, progress is impossible.

And Ye Chen didn’t currently possess such a technique.

”Hehe, within the ’Myriad Dao Human Emperor Technique,’ not only is the cultivation method for the Human Emperor Body recorded, but also the method to condense the divine soul. You just need to check it,” the Tower Spirit smiled warmly.

”So that’s it,” Ye Chen immediately came to a realization.

He never expected that the ’Myriad Dao Human Emperor Technique’ would even contain the method to cultivate the divine soul. It truly seemed all-encompassing.

Soon after, Ye Chen discovered a divine soul cultivation technique within this supreme technique, the ’Myriad Dao Human Emperor Technique’.

This technique was called the ’Soul Emperor Observation Technique’.

By visualizing an ultimate existence known as the Soul Emperor in the mind, one can condense their own divine soul.

Buzz.

In the next moment, Ye Chen, following the guidance of the ’Soul Emperor Observation Technique,’ visualized an extremely mysterious existence in his mind.

This mysterious existence was entirely shrouded in chaotic mist, emitting a terrifying aura, akin to the ruler between heaven and earth.

Even mere visualization brought unto Ye Chen an overwhelming pressure.

It felt as if his soul could be crushed at any moment by this mysterious existence.

Nevertheless, Ye Chen’s willpower was exceptionally robust, allowing him to quickly endure this pressure.

In his sea of consciousness, numerous light points started manifesting, gradually forming a figure.

This figure was identical in appearance to Ye Chen, but it appeared very ethereal and continuously emitted dazzling radiance.

”It’s the divine soul puppet, I have finally become a Divine Soul Master,” Ye Chen exclaimed with intense excitement.

Even he hadn’t anticipated that he could become a Divine Soul Master in this lifetime.

After all, Divine Soul Masters are exceedingly rare, with perhaps only one emerging among ten thousand cultivators.

Moreover, once they cultivate to a certain realm, they can engage in alchemy and artifact refining, even setting up powerful arrays.

Hence, wherever they go, they are revered and admired.
