Xu Ming"s soul seed started changing shape. It kept getting more and more human-like until it started looking exactly like Xu Ming, there was only a small difference between its appearance and Xu Ming"s appearance.The Martial Soul of a person always looked like them. In the Spirit Establishment Realm, the first stage was about forming the Soul Seed. The Second Stage was about making the soul seed become their Martial Soul.
The 3rd to 10th stage focused on improving the Martial Soul so that it could be the best it possibly could.
In the Second Stage of Spirit Establishment Realm, although the Martial Soul looked like the cultivator it belonged to, there were still a few differences left. In the 3rd stage, the differences decrease and the similarities start increasing until the 10th Stage of Spirit Establishment Realm where the Martial Soul looks exactly like the cultivation with no difference.
Xu Ming had broken through the 2nd Stage of Spirit Establishment Realm and he had sent his consciousness inside his Martial s.p.a.ce to look at his Martial Soul.
Xu Ming"s Martial Soul looked mostly like him. It was wearing king-like clothes with a Black Armor on top and a red robe on the back.
Its eyes were close, so Xu Ming wasn"t able to see the eyes, but if the eyes were open, he would be shocked to see deep pitch black eyes of his Martial Soul that looked as if they contained an infinitely vast galaxy inside them.
Although he couldn"t see the eyes of his Martial Soul, he did see the wings behind it"s back. His Martial Soul had 6 beautiful angel-like wings. 3 on the right and 3 on the left. The right wings were white in color, while the left wings were black.
Xu Ming was just surprised as he saw the wings of his Martial Soul. He found the Wings to be beautiful. He didn"t find it strange as he hadn"t known that the Martial Soul of a cultivator never had wings. If someone saw his Martial Soul, they would have been shocked silly. This was not something normal.
Even in the Heavenly Realm, no one had a Martial Soul like this.
Even Xu Liang"s martial skill wasn"t like this. Xu Liang"s Martial Skill was even more bizarre though. Xu Liang"s Martial Soul was nothing. It was a void. Even though Xu Liang didn"t have a Martial Soul, his cultivation was never affected.
Even though Xu Ming didn"t know about it, he was the only person in the world with a 6 winged Martial Soul.
As Xu Ming didn"t find anything strange, he brought his consciousness out of his Martial s.p.a.ce.
"Something"s strange,"
As soon as Xu Ming brought his consciousness out of his Martial s.p.a.ce, he found something strange. He didn"t know what it was, but he felt like his body was different.
He looked at his hands and saw that they were longer.
He frowned as he stood up and walked up to a mirror only to find out that he was actually different now. He was much taller and he looked older as well.
He was 5 feet 11 inches tall and looked like he was 18-19 years old already.
His face looked even better now. The face that previously looked cute now looked mature and charming. Xu Ming realized that he looked a lot like his father, with only a slight difference between them. While his father had dark hair, he had blonde hair.
"What just happened? I became older?" He muttered with a frown as he looked at his reflection in the mirror.
He didn"t know if he had actually gotten older or if it was just his body that had grown up.
"This makes things so difficult. What will I say to others? No one will think that I"m the same, Xu Ming. Things just got a lot troublesome," He stepped back with a thoughtful look on his face.
"What can I do? Should I go to Elder Wu? He seems to be the most trustworthy at the moment, but should I really trust him? He might betray me if he finds an opportunity as well," Xu Ming thought. He could feel his head starting to ache.
"I will go to him. I do have this to save myself if I find him suspicious," Xu Ming thought as he brought out a Talisman from his storage ring.
It was a Talisman that he found when the new s.p.a.ce was unlocked. It also belonged to his father.
The Talisman was called 200 Miles Instant Teleportation Talisman. When it was activated, the user would instantly be teleported 200 miles away He didn"t know why his father had it though.
In reality, Xu Liang had received this Talisman from a Talisman Master of the Heavenly Realm as a wedding gift.
"I"ll go to him later. For now, I should cultivate and use the Origin Crystal. They can"t see my cultivation after all, so it"s better that I go there the strongest I can. I"ll be able to react faster if things go south," Xu Ming muttered as he looked at the Origin Energy Crystal.
Fortunately, he had been wearing his special clothes that he had brought from the Heavenly Realm. The clothes had a quality that they could get bigger or smaller accordingly. These clothes also never got dirty. Furthermore, they even had a defensive property against elemental attacks. That"s why he has been able to use the same clothes for the last 3 years.
Xu Ming sat down on a meditative position with the Origin Energy Crystal in his hand as he started sucking the energy.
He realized that his cultivation speed was even faster now that he had formed his Martial Soul. It would have taken him 7 days to fully use the energy inside the Original Crystal, but now he was sure that he would fully absorb it in less than 3 days.
Time kept pa.s.sing and just like that, 3 days had pa.s.sed. Xu Ming had broken through to the 5th stage of Spirit Establishment Realm just before the Origin Energy inside the Crystal was fully depleted. The crystal had lost its s.h.i.+ne and was now useless.
Xu Ming sent the Origin Energy Crystal back in his storage ring before he stood up and stretched his arms. He had been sitting in the same position for 3 days straight and he was quite tired, but he didn"t care.
The first thing he did was to go to the mirror to see if there was any other change in his body or not. Fortunately, he still looked the same. Like an 18-year-old boy.
Instead of taking a test, he started walking towards the exit.
Xu Ming did not forget to wear a cloak as he left his courtyard so that he could hide his face. He placed his disciple badge on his chest and walked towards Elder Wu"s courtyard.
It was early morning and not many people were outside at the moment. Those that were outside, didn"t wonder who the cloaked man was. There were many strange people like this and most people didn"t find it strange.
Without any trouble, Xu Ming got to the courtyard of Elder Wu. He knocked on the door.
A person opened the door. It was the same person as last time.
"Who are you? If you"re here to meet the Master, you can go back. Master don"t meet strangers," The servant said.
"I"m not a stranger. I"m Xu Ming. Tell Elder Wu that Xu Ming is here. He knows me," Xu Ming said.
"Xu Ming? Isn"t that the kid that came a few days ago? You think you can fool me?" The Servant glared at Xu Ming.
"I"m not lying. Please let me in. If I"m lying, I"ll accept any punishment," Xu Ming said in full honestly.
The servant looked at him for a moment, before he stepped aside and allowed Xu Ming to enter.
"If you"re lying, you"ll regret it," He warned Xu Ming before he brought him to Elder Wu.
Elder Wu was sitting in the same room as last time.
*Who is it?" He asked as he looked towards the door.
"Elder, it"s me. Xu Ming," Xu Ming replied.
"Xu Ming? Why is your voice so different?" Elder Wu inquired.
The Servant saw that Elder Wu seemed to recognize him, thus he walked back and didn"t wait for Xu Ming"s answers.
"I don"t know what happened Elder, but when I broke through I found out that my body started growing until I started looking like an 18-19-year-old boy," Xu Ming replied.
"Oh, so that"s what it was," Elder Wu said smilingly.
"Don"t worry about it. I"ve heard of something like that. There are a few special people whose bodies react differently to breakthroughs. You might just be one of them," Elder Wu told Xu Ming.
"I"m concerned about the sect and the others that they won"t believe that I"m Xu Ming if they saw me," Xu Ming replied.
"Don"t worry about that. It"s not possible. There"s a special mechanism in your disciple badge. When you drop a blood drop on it, as long as the blood belongs to the owner, the badge will start s.h.i.+ning. That should be enough to prove that you"re Xu Ming," Elder Wu said.
