Chapter 2702 - The Role of Soulstones

The Grandvoid Compendium, Xiaozhi Sword Art, and Imperator’s Mural were Tianming's next training objectives. However, he felt that his sword techniques were currently sufficient, and the synergy between spacetime and the Imperator’s Mural was excellent. Thus, he decided to head to the Xenoabyss first.

"Over at the Skyhold Bridge, I'll clear it all at once when my strength is enough." The battles on the Skyhold Bridge were related to Feiling and Xiaoxiao’s strength.

Tianming had recently gained quite a few caeli and Xiaoxiao was already in seclusion, taking full advantage of it.

With the Flameyellow Bloodsoul, Weisheng Moran's talent had considerably improved, and she was currently making a slow push toward the Stellaminoris stage. Tianming had gotten used to her slow cultivation! Only Feiling had a bit more free time.

"Remember, I've tied you up. I'll be watching you all the time. When you go to the Xenoabyss, you can't be looking at other girls," Feiling sternly said after hearing Xian Xian's report.

"Don't worry, my moral character is rock solid. Don't listen to Xian Xian's nonsense, I won't be looking at other girls," Tianming replied.

"You can't look at Auntie, either."

Tianming was speechless. It seemed she knew everything!

"This rope binds not our hands and feet, but our hearts," Tianming used sweet words to change the subject.

"Stop being naughty or I'll rip your heart out," Feiling threatened.

"You tigress!" Tianming laughed, then turned to walk into the portal leading to the Xenoabyss.

"Hmph." Watching her beloved disappear from sight, leaving only the rope in her hand, Feiling pouted. "Stay safe...." She couldn't help but worry; all she could do was hold the interdimensional line firmly in her hand. Just like last time.

......

Tianming arrived outside Creektown again after passing through the white sea, the interdimensional line tied to his leg. He quickly tugged it ten times in succession, nine short tugs followed by a long one. He had made an agreement with Feiling, and ten tugs represented his love.

Seven tugs, five tugs, and three tugs in a row were different signals. Using those signals, he could communicate with her, so she wouldn't get bored in the Sun’s core. With her around, he was at ease—she was completely reliable!

“As expected, the position refreshed.” He was in Creektown, not Silverfox Village!

However, the three words ‘Ancient Oldgod Domain’ that the marker had formed wouldn't change. The marker had flown from Silverfox Village to the Sun’s core, but that didn't necessarily mean the manipulator was near Silverfox Village.

"I understand why we can't urgently leave the Xenoabyss during battles. After we leave, the opponent might be waiting for our return. We'll have to face them unless we never go back to the Xenoabyss in the future. It's too dangerous!" Falling into an ambush was even more dangerous.

"So when we leave here, we have to choose a safe location."

Tianming unfolded the map given to him by Qi Huan. "This map is quite primitive and rudimentary.” It was just a piece of animal skin with basic elements like mountains, rivers, and cities roughly marked on it. There were no roads, so he would have to determine the direction to the capital city from Creektown. Antiquitas Capital was at the very center of the map.

There were several cities around the capital city. Creektown was located at the southernmost point of the map, in the lower right corner. The map only marked the capital city and a few major cities, and Creektown had been added later. "I guess Qi Huan sketched it out for me on the map. Creektown’s probably around... here."

Tianming studied the route. "Some of these mountains are pretty high and I might not be able to scale them, so I might have to take a detour." Judging by the route, if he went straight, he would pass through several Antiquitas Mortis cities, the first of which was Commonsky City.

He didn't recognize the words on it, but had been told the name by Qi Huan. Qi Huan hadn't been there himself, but he had heard that there were foundationeers there.

"A city that's only a single level higher than Creektown already has foundationeers!" The continent that had been blessed by the Sea of Order was truly lucky.

Tianming was ready to set out! "Meow Meow, it's your time to shine." He dragged Meow Meow out from the lifebound space, where it was sound asleep.

"What the hell? Don’t know you're shaving off my lifespan by disturbing my sleep? You uncultured person!" Meow Meow was annoyed.

"You're really cranky? How uppity for a mount.”

“Who’s the mount here? Isn’t it your Auntie Hua? How come you aren’t riding your high-grade mount this time? Instead, you're pulling my cat fur!" Meow Meow was furious and rolled on the ground, refusing to move.

"Cut the crap and transform into the Regal Chaosfiend," Tianming urged it. Meow Meow was fast enough to save a lot of time.

"I won't! I'm staying like this. If you dare, ride me," Meow Meow lay down and began acting stubborn. It was quite intelligent; it knew that the capital city was too far away and the trip would waste a lot of its sleeping time.

"What if I ride you?" Tianming strode forward and, in one step, sat on the small black cat.

"Wow!" Meow Meow was startled and its guts felt like they were about to be squeezed out.

"Not only will I ride you, but I'll also flick this!" Tianming reached out and flicked its balls.

Meow Meow's eyes turned bloodshot. With a furious roar, it transformed into a Regal Chaosfiend and shot off. “Little Li, I swear I’ll shake you off!”

"Damn cat, you're going in the wrong direction!"

......

After half a day of playing stubborn, Meow Meow finally turned around and did its job, carrying Tianming on its back.

Tianming was comfortable as he sat on Meow Meow. In the midst of that electrifying speed, he tightly held the cat’s fur and took out the 100,000 soulstones he had obtained from Qi Huan to study.

"Soulstones are the universal currency in the Xenoabyss, and also treasures for the tribes of the Xenoabyss to practice with. They have several functions, and they're also effective for outworlders like us. Besides rapidly replenishing combat consumption, they have two main effects.

"First, cultivating with soustones allows us to expand the limits of our individual astrons to a certain extent. Within the same realm, you’ll have a higher upper limit of power and fiercer cosmoforce.

"Second, they’re high-density aggregations of xeno source! They have a significant beneficial effect on the brain astral organ."

Tianming's vita had already fused with the astrons in his brain and were protected by the Skysoul Tower. It was currently a fifth holy soul. Gongyang Yan had a sixth cosmic soul, and even with her guidance, Tianming, whose soul talents were ‘very ordinary’, indeed found it difficult to progress further. Cultivating with soustones would, to some extent, rapidly promote his soul!
