Chapter 148  Awakening of the Nine Heavens Palace!

================¶¶================

A few days had passed since Arthur’s deep meditation within the inner world of the Serene Palace Painting.

He remained secluded in his room, engrossed in a profound state of meditation. His consciousness delved deep within his soul, where the essence of his power resided.

Within the depths of his soul, Arthur’s focus was directed towards healing and awakening the Nine Heavens Palace and its Artifact Spirit.

His connection with the four radiant gems intensified as he continuously infused their power into the palace.

However, due to his limited mastery over the gems, he could only channel a small amount of energy each time.

The process was arduous and demanding, pushing Arthur to his limits. Yet, he persevered, pouring his will and energy into the task at hand.

Crack by crack, the fractures that marred the surface of the palace began to fade away. The dormant Artifact Spirit stirred, awakened by Arthur’s persistent efforts.

Just as Arthur reached the pinnacle of his endurance, a profound stillness enveloped the room. The cracks disappeared completely, and a resonant voice echoed in the air, saying, “Thank you, Master.”

Arthur’s eyes snapped open, and he emerged from his meditative state, filled with a sense of joy and accomplishment.

The tiny palm-sized palace materialized in his hand, emanating a faint glow. A wizened old man with long, silver-gray hair materialized before Arthur, his presence exuding wisdom and ancient knowledge.

The old man bowed respectfully before Arthur, expressing his gratitude. “Thank you, Master, for your kindness in awakening me and restoring the Nine Heavens Palace to its former glory.”

Arthur smiled warmly at the old man. “It was my duty as your master. You need not thank me. Moreover, I need your help.”

Arthur’s expression became serious when he said the last sentence and the old man had thoughtful expression on his face.

The old man nodded understandingly. “Ah, you must need help concerning you soul, or rather you soul’s memories. This is not an easy matter as the soul is very mysterious and sometimes it’s designs are beyond conventional understanding of it. However, there is a way to access those memories.”

Arthur’s eyes widened with curiosity. “Tell me, Aixen. How can I unlock the memories of my past life and the knowledge hidden within my 999,999 soul clones?”

Aixen was the name of the artifact spirit and it was one of the few things that Arthur could recall from his past life memories.

Aixen smiles seeing that Arthur could still recall his name and with a calm and steady tone, he began to explain the intricacies of the soul.

“The soul, relative to the human body, was one of the most fundamental parts of life. The mortal body was formed by yin and Yang essenceenergies; which is a material existence composed of the tiniest yin and yang particles.”

“But, the soul itself is can also be considered as a form of metaphysical essence energy combined and encased by some form of ethereal essence energy. Which is like a field of energy similar to a force field but also very different.”

Arthur’s brows furrowed in mild confusion but then relaxed quickly as though he immediately understood what concept Aixen was explaining.

“The soul was a particle but also a wave. As for what the origin of a soul was, it was hard to say. The aspects of the soul was shrouded in layers of mystery, it also held the secrets to life itself!”

“All things had a spirit. In the legends, all of this world’s plants, creatures, even stones, once having experienced countless years and unimaginable coincidences, could gain wisdom and turn into a monster.”

“The soul had the most basic form – Soul Form. All beings at a certain cultivation has the ability to discard their mortal body and assume their soul form.”

Arthur nodded in understanding as he now knew better why he could survive in his soul form after absorbing the souls of his 999,999 clones.

Meanwhile, Aixen continued his teaching, “The soul in itself was an entrance to a vast and mystic world of martial arts. Martial artists use the soul in all sorts of mystics ways, with the similar effect of utilizing true essence.”

“The most fundamental part of the soul was itssoul force, it was the very basis of soul-type martial skills and abilities.When one’s soul was powerful, there were all sorts of benefits.”

“For instance, one’s divine sense, alchemical ability, refining ability – all of this was related to one’s soul. In the future, a martial artist also wouldn’t encounter a bottleneck in their cultivation due to the insufficient strength of the soul. So you have a great advantage over others at this time Master.”

Arthur smiled knowingly. Asides the gems, he greatest cheat was the power of his soul.

Aixen continued, “The soul is a vast and profound entity, encompassing the essence of one’s being and experiences. Memories, knowledge, and even fragments of the past life are stored within the depths of the soul. To access these hidden treasures, one must master the art of soul cultivation.”

Arthur listened intently, absorbing every word. Aixen continued, “Master, I have with me a special soul cultivation technique which will let you master the abilities of your soul power. It is also the same soul cultivation technique you practiced in your previous life.”

Arthur was a bit surprised to hear that and became greatly curious.

“I will impart this advanced soul technique to Master. It is a method that, if mastered to its peak, will allow you to unlock the memories of your past life and the knowledge contained within your soul clones.”

Having said this, Aixen took out a Jade Token inscribed with ancient writings. This jade Token would only need Arthur to press it on his forehead and all details about the technique will be imprinted in his mind.

With a sense of anticipation and eagerness, Arthur accepted the ancient technique offered by the Artifact Spirit. He understood the significance of this opportunity, the key that could unravel the hidden trove of treasures that was his past memories.

Arthur pressed the token between his brows and the technique was transmitted and imprinted into his mind.

‘Nine Heavens Soul Technique.’

Arthur went through the cultivation technique and became excited at the prospects of mastering it.

He kept the token aside and grinned.”This is a great technique,” he said.
