Necropolis Immortal

d go up in a fiery blaze.

“Are you not planning on going inside?” Lu Yun was equally surprised to see a stoic Xing Wuliang.

“Its manner of opening is too strange.” The man shook his head.
“I’m not going inside until I reach true World Manifest.”

He’d been full of confidence that he would be able to sweep through the tomb if he worked with the four Void World Kings.
But not only had the world kings not seen that he was a ninth step formation master, they’d almost killed him.

Xing Wuliang was weaker than regular major World Manifests, so there was no way he would enter the tomb by himself.
He wanted to go with Lu Yun, but that was a lost cause since his new friend didn’t have the desire to make the trip.

“With your skill in formations, Brother Xing, you’d reap great rewards if you followed any of the world kings in,” Lu Yun chuckled.

“Forget it.” Xing Wuliang drooped, deflated.
“You’ve never cultivated soul force, have you? I’ll give you some pointers.”

Lu Yun studied the other’s face carefully; he could read some slight changes in Xing Wuliang’s emotions.
Xing Wuliang’s soul force was infinitely close to grandmaster level.
If he’d really wanted to hide his emotions, it would be very hard for Lu Yun to glean anything.

Xing Wuliang shared some key points and things of note, imparting a new level of understanding to Lu Yun.

“How strong is your soul force now?” Xing Wuliang asked after a moderate period of time.

“Third step,” Lu Yun answered.
“My soul force is now at the third step.”

“Third step… isn’t enough!” Xing Wuliang took out something that looked like a massive daikon radish.
“This is a treasure that can manipulate and strengthen soul force—the Profound Nineroot.
Your soul force is strong enough that if you eat it, you’ll break through to seventh step.”

Lu Yun jumped with shock.
Ascending from third straight to seventh step! This was an incredible treasure, but Xing Wuliang had just casually brought it out like this!

He definitely comes from an impressive background.

“It’d be such a waste to just eat it,” Lu Yun grinned wryly.
“It’s better to refine it into a pill, whether in terms of potency or effect.”

“I can’t do it, only a pill grandmaster would be able to refine this treasure.
There’s a supplemental grandmaster in the Eastern Planes who can do it, but he’s been sealed into an ice cube and can’t refine anything.

“Don’t talk so much.
Eat it, raise your soul force to seventh step and enter the Tomb of the Hallowed Emperor with me!” Xing Wuliang said.
“There are so many treasures in the tomb and any of them are worth more than this Profound Nineroot.
Treat this as your compensation!”

Lu Yun chuckled ruefully and swallowed the meter long “radish”.

Hummmm.

Purple-golden brilliance flooded from his body and raised enormous waves in his consciousness.
A tremendous vortex of soul force manifested in his consciousness, becoming the core of his mind.

A soul force vortex!

Soul force would condense into a vortex when it reached the seventh step.
Lu Yun had broken through the moment he ate the treasure!

This treasure would be worth more than the entire Hongmeng if it was found there! Lu Yun almost jumped with shock when he made some quiet calculations.
This Profound Nineroot could enhance the soul fore of a Nihil World Sovereign—it was a heaven-defying treasure!

He looked at Xing Wuliang in a new light—the leaf from the Karmic Tree that he’d gifted earlier seemed a little… inadequate.
Even if it was a token that could compel a Nihil World Sovereign to act.

“Seven step soul force is enough, let’s go!” Ignoring whether or not Lu Yun had agreed, Xing Wuliang flew toward the tombstone.

Lu Yun remained on the spot and thought for a moment, then hid all of his strength and used only soul force.
This amount of soul force was already frightening enough in the fourth realm.
True World Manifests wouldn’t dare irritate a seventh step supplemental master.

Lu Yun skipped on formation glyphs and followed Xing Wuliang.
