Chapter 1743: Re-cultivating Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations Sima You Yue narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw the Abyss of Hell mentioned in the book. Her mother was suppressed in the Abyss of Hell. When could she go save her? The Spirit Pagoda was damaged. She could not open the Treasury Pavilion which the Hundred Ghosts Banner was inside. She couldn’t save her if she could not get the Hundred Ghost Banner. She did not know Di Zhe’s arrangements now. Did she need to find him? She pushed the idea aside the moment it appeared. It was not time for her to go find Di Zhe. Without strength, she couldn’t do anything she wanted. So the most urgent task now was to cultivate. When she obtained strength, she could go find him to save her mother together She finished reading the first book. It gave her general information about soul cultivation. Then she picked up the second book. At the beginning of this book, it also gave an introduction to soul cultivation and later on the methods of soul cultivation. Soul cultivation was a much more complicated method than ghost cultivation. In addition to cultivating soul power, the soul body also needed to be cultivated. If the soul power was too strong and the soul body could not keep up, it would not be able to withstand the soul power and the body would burst. It’s like when her Ancestor gave her a strong soul power, but she had to have it sealed because her soul body was not strong enough to withstand all that power. Of course, if one slowly cultivates, there wouldn’t be a body explosion, but the soul body couldn’t advance which would restrict the soul body and strength of the person. “It’s really troublesome.” She put down the book and rubbed her eyebrows. “Even if I have the soul power from Ancestor, I don’t know when I can advance if I follow this method.” The soul body cultivation methods described in this book were not low level, but they were still far from what Sima You Yue wanted. Suddenly, she recalled something and slapped her forehead. “How stupid! I obviously know the most powerful cultivation method in the world. What am I thinking about?!” Wasn’t it the Secret Soul Art that Mo Sha gave her to cultivate the soul? Could it be a normal technique from Mo Sha? Why didn’t she think of it?! She put down that book and sat down cross legged and started cultivating according to the Secret Soul Art. Soul body cultivation was divided into five levels: soul condensing period, soul refining period, body condensing period, and body shaping period. The first four levels were divided into beginning, mid and late stages. After the final level of body shaping, one could cultivate a ‘real’ body. She was not cultivating all again. She must first enter the soul condensing period before she could begin to cultivate her soul power. As long as she could cultivate soul power, she could reopen the Spirit Pagoda. Little Spirit could also wake up and then provide spirit power to the sleeping beasts. Fortunately, she practiced this Secret Soul Spirit before. She was very familiar with the cultivation and entered the middle stage of soul condensing period in just a few days. She had never had contact with soul cultivators before. So she did not know if her speed was fast. What she didn’t know was that in general, that soul cultivators would take as little as half a year or as long as a few years to enter the soul condensing period. It would then take several years to move from beginning stage to the middle stage. Her speed could not be just described as heaven defying. However, she had her inherent advantages. She had memories and knew how to cultivate, while other souls didn’t. Moreover, she had cultivated her soul before and her soul was already stronger than other people. In addition, she had cultivated this Secret Soul Art before. All these reasons added together, her speed was naturally faster. She stopped cultivating and felt her body. It was much firmer and stronger than before. Coupled with her melee attack technique, it was not impossible to fight against people with lower strength. “Eh?” She sensed soul power from the air entering her body. She clearly did not cultivate soul power. What was going on? She watched the soul power enter her body and stop at her the place where her spirit pool used to be. “Is this soul power?” She observed for a while and found although the soul power was little, it did enter her body automatically. “Could my body cultivate on its own?” She remembered when she cultivated spirit power, Little Spirit would absorb the spirit power around her. Was this his doing? No matter what, having some was better than none. She examined the soul power in her spirit pool. It was not dark black like ghost energy, but milky white, and it was quite a lot. She should have almost reached the threshold of ghost master. Underworld Fiend Master, Underworld Spirit Master, Underworld Saint Master, Underworld King, and Underworld Paragon were the levels of cultivation here with each divided into upper, middle, and upper. They did not have as many levels of cultivation as the one in the Human Realm. But the gap between each level was greater and more difficult to advance. Murong Xi had always stayed in the lower rank of the Underworld Fiend Master. It was the same as if she did not have cultivation. She released her divine sense and felt her surroundings again. Although the range was far from comparable to before, it really felt good to have power again. “Young Master Gongzi, my lady is cultivating. She ordered that no one is to disturb her so no one can go in. Please spare us servants!” Ting Shui saw that Gongzi Yuan was arrogant and unreasonable and insisted on going into the courtyard. She was so scared that she wanted to cry. “You are talking nonsense! Xi’er obviously can’t cultivate. You just don’t want me to enter!” Gongzi Yuan cried out. “You used that excuse last time. This time it is the same excuse. Can’t you use something new?” “This maid did not. Young Master Gong, please don’t trouble us.” Ting Shan stopped Gongzi Yuan. “If Young Master Gong wants to go in, you’ll have to step over our bodies!” Sensing the situation outside, she retracted her divine sense. She got out of bed and opened the door, exiting. “Ting Shan and Ting Shui, you can withdraw.” She told the two maids. When Ting Shan and Ting Shui heard that, they breathed a sigh of relief and stepped aside. Gongzi Yuan came over and looked at Sima You Yue. “I haven’t sensed your ghost energy increase! It seems that these maids were deliberately making excuses to not let me see you.” “Gongzi Yuan, We’re not familiar with each other? You know that I am not Murong Xi. Why do you still come here?” Sima You Yue questioned. “I....” Gongzi Yuan’s face reddened. What should he tell her? That he was heartbroken by the death of Murong Xi and wanted to see her more? The feeling of seeing her was completely different from seeing Murong Xi. Was it because that slap hit him to his heart? Or did the confident look in her eyes deeply attracted him? “I’m trying to help you. You are pretending to be Xi’er. Without the help of your best friend, you can get exposed.” Gongzi Yuan seemed to have found a reason to persuade her so he was confident in his words. “Tsk——” Sima You Yue rolled her eyes at him. “I have amnesia. Anything can happen. There is no need for you to cover me.” “I’ve good intentions!” Gongzi Yuan looked aggrieved. Sima You Yue couldn’t stand him and waved her hand impatiently. “Alright, alright, don’t act this way. Come on, what’s the matter today? There are still a few more days before the Youth Exchange starts.”
