Chapter 480 - 476: Perfect Foundation

"IMPOSSIBLE!" A female voice filled with the air, suffused with disbelief and shock, a tinge of surprise and joy.
The voice originated from the True Desolate Temple within the Desolate Lands. It had become a Holy Site of the highest order, being undisturbed and worshipped daily by the natives and inhabitants of the Desolate Lands, human and elf alike.
At this moment, Wei Wuyin was gently touching the Soul Mirror of Endless Reflection, the tool used to measure an individual's spiritual strength, reflecting their spirit units.
The voice came from Grand Priestess Si De who wore a tight-fitting priestess robe that accentuated her curves. She no longer hid her exceptional figure and those proudful mounds of flesh that created a deep, sensual valley that many wished to explore yet only one had the right to do so.
She held her mouth with her hands, her eyes rippling endless as she inspected the Soul Mirror of Endless Reflection dim. She turned her eyes towards Wei Wuyin, and her heart raced with explosive thumps so frequent that her chest heaved up and down in a gorgeous and mesmerizing display.
Wei Wuyin looked at the mirror, a faint smile on his face. Since he decided to spend his time cultivating, it's been two years. While his cultivation base hadn't ascended to the next realm, his foundation was pushed to their absolute limits. Thanks to the Grand Earth Cache, he obtained Soul Ash of Divine Jade, the main ingredient to concoct the Soul Deity Invoker Elixir. He perfectly concocted three more vials, using each with his three Astral Souls.
They had all evolved, excavating their greatest potential, converting the hidden Manifested Soul Energy into a tenth-ring! With their tenth-ring born, he decided to test his Spiritual Strength level. If before, his 39,300 Spirit Units were absolutely terrifying to behold, the degree of his Spiritual Strength was vastly superior, taking Si De's breath away.
Not only had he concocted this heaven-defying elixir, but the Spatial Divine Resonance Pill, the similarly heaven-defying ninth-grade product capable of alleviating one's Spatial Resonance from nine-ripples to ten-ripples! The reflection of Spatial Resonance reflected the amount of spatial energies that astral force can properly refine into itself, adding it alongside physical, spiritual, mental, and essence energies.
Furthermore, the higher the resonance, the greater the Spatial Powers one could unleash. For example, the presumed base abilities of Spatial Mark and Spatial Prison weren't actually abilities defaultly granted with no requirement. The ability to construct a Spatial Mark required a one-ripple Spatial Resonance while Spatial Prison required a four-ripple Spatial Resonance. It was that most cultivators reached the four-ripple Spatial Resonance at the lowest in the starfield.
If a cultivator reached the seventh-ripple Spatial Resonance, they acquired another ability—Spatial Sense. Spatial Sense was an empowered Spiritual Sense, allowing cultivators to delve and dive into sealed areas naturally. When Wei Wuyin was in the Soul Idol Phase, when he first arrived on the continent, he didn't sense the tunnels beneath the ground unless he forcefully penetrated through the ground with his spiritual strength. With Spatial Sense, he could send his spiritual sense through obstacles, inspecting everything above Sky Layers and beneath earth layers.
These abilities grow stronger and stronger the higher one's Spatial Resonance reaches, but when Wei Wuyin entered the ten-ripple Spatial Resonance, he acquired an ability he called Spatial Shift. It allowed him to mark a location in fixed space, and shift his physical body through a layer of fixed space. It reminded him of the outrageous legends of Immortals who could achieve Teleportation. Of course, it wasn't so exaggerated or remotely close to such legendary powers.
With four ten-ring Soul Idols and ten-ripple Spatial Resonance, he had maximized his foundation to the utmost limit! There was no other way to increase his cultivation foundation, but this was reached long ago. His concoction speed and his Astral Souls refinement speeds were outstandingly fast, so in the first three months, he had reached this state.
The next nineteen months was him diligently cultivating, but not his foundation, but learning an array of spiritual spells, arts, and application of his multitude of powers. He had delved fully into strengthening his abilities as a cultivator, broadening his horizons and allowing him to make full use of such tremendous foundational strength.
Grand Priestess Si De calmed herself after a very long moment, trying to accept this newfound knowledge of Spiritual Strength. She took several breaths, "If others knew of your spiritual strength, especially those proclaiming themselves geniuses, would they ever have the confidence in revealing themselves? To call themselves talented?"
Wei Wuyin softly laughed. She understood her emotions. Even he was startled by the level four ten-ring Soul Idols brought to his spiritual strength, their united spiritual power.
Grand Priestess Si De walked to his side, looking at the Soul Mirror of Endless Reflection. "The average spiritual strength of those at the Soul Idol Phase, the third stage of the Astral Core Realm, is roughly 1,000. Even ascending to the Realm World Phase, becoming a Realmlord, one's Spiritual Strength might barely exceed 3,000." Her voice still quivered with a trace of undisguised astonishment.
Wei Wuyin frowned. He was aware of this standard, already being an absolute irregularity in that regard. Unlike others, he had four Astral Souls, two of which were Divine. To put into perspective, if that mysterious young woman had four Astral Souls of a similar standard, she'd reach 36,000 Spirit Units. But that was his unique cultivation advantage, and dwelling on what ifs of others weren't healthy. Still, it allowed him to understand that those from other starfields were absolutely terrifying, not to be underestimated no matter what.
Furthermore, there were Chosen at the Spatial Resonance Phase who could fight Realmlords, even defeat them. While he killed two, they were suppressed by the unique environment, their Worldly Domain, their greatest power, was heavily restricted. While he had confidence to fight against one without fear, it made him realize there were others out there who were just as fearless, just as terrifying.
But his enemies weren't those geniuses. They weren't even those Blessed. It was the Calamities of Hell and the Heavenly Daos themselves that sought to end his life through these Calamities.
Grand Priestess Si De softly touched the mirror's edge, not activating it. She softly whispered, "73,000." Her sightless eyes turned to Wei Wuyin. A fiery emotion flashed within those eyes of hers, causing Wei Wuyin to note her change. With a grin, he grabbed her delicate waist, pressing her ample breasts against his chest.
She yelped a little, her eyes growing misty. She was clearly extremely desirous of Wei Wuyin. Her hands already moved to press against his crotch, moving energetically about.
Wei Wuyin was always surprised how a grand priestess of a holy temple, a woman that reached a level of unfathomable strength while maintaining her purity, could become a horny little minx. Did he corrupt her? Or was her repressed urges of over a thousand years too much to bear?
Regardless, he benefited either way.
Just as he was about to carry her off, his expression changed.
A divine hum echoed throughout the world, causing them both to lift their heads. A projection screen formed, revealing a bright, airy background and the face of a grey-eyed, handsome youth garbed in white.
Si De exclaimed in surprise, "A Holy Son!"
Wei Wuyin's silver eyes revealed a distinct light of excitement. "Finally!"
Just as he said this, another divine hum emerged! This was slightly different than the other.
Another screen projected itself on the sky, to be witnessed by every life on the continent!
"A Second Holy Son!" Grand Priestess Si De was stunned, her mouth agape.
But another divine hum emerged before her emotions could even full display itself on her expression!
A THIRD!?
