Chapter 99: Ch 99- Origin Soul Realm
One day later, Mo Yuan, who had been sitting cross-legged inside the cave, suddenly opened his eyes.
A powerful aura spread from his body for a moment before slowly disappearing. Mo Yuan clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying strength contained within his body.
"Finally, I have reached the peak of the Origin Sea realm."
His base strength had reached 1 million jin, while his speed had reached 1,714 m/s, which was around 5 Mach. His Origin Sense had also reached 100 meters.
’With all my multipliers, my strength can reach around 180 million jin, while my speed can reach around 100 Mach.’
Thinking about this, Mo Yuan couldn’t help but grin.
’Not bad, I’m really getting more and more op.’
However, he didn’t become too excited. He knew that the Origin Sea realm was only the beginning.
The next realm was the Origin Soul realm.
By the time a cultivator reached this realm, their flesh, bones, blood and five organs had already been tempered. However, the body was still far from perfect.
The next step was to temper the meridians and bone marrow.
Meridians were pathways that existed within the body, allowing Primordial Qi to circulate throughout the cultivator’s flesh and organs. They were different from blood vessels and could not be seen with ordinary vision.
The stronger the meridians, the faster and more efficiently a cultivator could circulate Primordial Qi.
The Origin Soul Realm was divided into four stages.
Early Origin Soul: Primary Meridian Tempering
The cultivator first tempered the 8 major meridians that connected the body’s important regions.
These meridians acted like the main pathways of the body, allowing Primordial Qi to travel from the limbs, organs and other parts of the body.
Once the primary meridians were sufficiently tempered, the cultivator’s Primordial Qi could circulate much faster than before.
Middle Origin Soul: Extraordinary Meridian Tempering
After completing the primary meridians, the cultivator began tempering the deeper and more complicated meridian pathways, there were total of 12 of them.
These pathways connected the major meridians together and allowed Primordial Qi to circulate through areas that the primary meridians could not reach efficiently.
As these meridians were tempered, the cultivator’s control over Primordial Qi improved tremendously.
Late Origin Soul: Minor Meridian Tempering
The final stage of meridian tempering involved the 64 smaller meridians scattered throughout the body.
These minor meridians connected the muscles, bones, organs and other parts of the body into a complete network.
Once the minor meridians were completely tempered, Primordial Qi could reach almost every part of the cultivator’s body.
At this point, the cultivator’s body had essentially become a complete Primordial Qi circulation network.
However, the Origin Soul Realm was still not complete.
There was one final step.
Peak Origin Soul: Bone Marrow Tempering
After perfecting the meridians, the cultivator would begin tempering their bone marrow.
The bone marrow was the deepest part of the physical body and was also the source of blood.
Using their perfected meridian network, the cultivator guided Primordial Qi deep into their bones and gradually infused it into the marrow.
This process was extremely difficult.
However, once the bone marrow was completely tempered, it would undergo a fundamental transformation.
The marrow would begin producing a superior form of blood known as Primordial Blood.
With Primordial Blood flowing through their veins, the cultivator’s vitality, endurance, regeneration and physical strength would increase dramatically.
Only after the bone marrow was completely tempered could a cultivator be considered to have reached the Peak of the Origin Soul Realm.
But that wasn’t all, the cultivation of the Origin Soul realm didn’t only temper the meridians and bone marrow. The entire process also had a huge effect on a cultivator’s soul.
As the meridians became stronger, the cultivator could circulate Primordial Qi through their body more efficiently. At the same time, the continuous circulation of Primordial Qi would slowly nourish the soul.
This was also why the Origin Soul realm was considered an important turning point.
As a cultivator broke through each stage, their soul would gradually become stronger and their Origin Sense would also expand and after reaching the Peak Origin Soul realm, a cultivator’s Origin Sense could reach a full 1 kilometer.
This was a huge improvement compared to Mo Yuan’s current 100-meter Origin Sense.
’So the entire Origin Soul realm is basically tempering both the body and the soul.’
Mo Yuan rubbed his chin while thinking about it.
’The meridians improve my Primordial Qi circulation, the bone marrow produces Primordial Blood and the constant nourishment from Primordial Qi strengthens my soul.’
’No wonder it’s called the Origin Soul realm.’
This was especially good news for him.
Mo Yuan already had the Superior Grade Illusion Talent, which could increase his soul power by five times.
If his soul became even stronger after breaking through to the Origin Soul realm, the effect of his Illusion Talent would become even more terrifying.
’Once I reach the Origin Soul realm, my soul should become much stronger.’
A grin slowly appeared on Mo Yuan’s face.
’And if my soul becomes stronger, maybe I can finally use my Blood Saber Intent without losing control.’
That was the thing he cared about the most.
The last time he had awakened his Blood Saber Intent, he had almost lost himself completely. Even with his Illusion Talent, he could only suppress its effects for a short period of time.
He didn’t want to experience that again.
’First, I’ll break through to the Origin Soul realm.’
Mo Yuan took out another portion of Peak Grade Beast Blood from his storage space.
’Then I’ll see just how much stronger I become.’
Without wasting any more time, he sat down cross-legged and began cultivating again.
The cave once again fell silent as Mo Yuan focused his mind. The dense Primordial Qi surrounding him slowly began to gather toward his body, while the energy within his started to surge violently.
A faint pressure spread through the cave as he prepared to break the barrier separating the Origin Sea and Origin Soul realms.
