Chapter 443: ‘Herb roots' & Disparity

Thinking like that, he had one of those small 'herb roots appear in front of him, and land on his hands.

Damn, this thing looked really ugly and he was sure as hell that it would taste even worse, but the more he thought about it, the more reluctant would he be to eat it.

Without losing much time, and letting his reluctance build, he opened his mouth and immediately took the whole thing in.

Just like he thought it tasted fu*cking horrible, it was like he was eating something that could be even worse than shit.

He had to use his Soul Power, and will in order to not throw up as he bit on that thing and started chewing and eating it.

He could now understand the faces that his disciples were making during the time they were consuming this, but it didn't make any difference now.

He could only try to chew on it as fast as he could, and then swallow it down, at least that way he wouldn't need to taste it anymore.

Concentrating heavily on this task, in a few short moments he was able to eat the thing, and get over with it, as it went down his throat to his stomach.

Still, even though it was like that, to him it was like a walk in the park considering what he had been through in his past.

For that reason, there was no problem for him to realize the thing that started creeping its way through his system towards his head, and into his consciousness sea.

He had purposefully the defensive lines down, as he expected the movement of the remnant soul from the 'herb root' he had just consumed.

Just like he expected it, the remnant soul didn't even look at his dark thoughts, fears, and wrath, but it directly tried to attack his calm consciousness sea and his Soul Avatar.

It was clear that this thing held a deep grudge against him, as it was attacking with the only principle of only one of them surviving the clash.

Certainly, the hate made the dark thing look really imposing but Tianlong Yun had already built quite the experience dealing with these things these days, and the fight was over before it began.

As soon as he was over with it, he turned his attention towards the boost in Soul Power he was getting, which finished before he could even feel happy about it.

It was like adding a small drop of water to a big lake, the change was almost negligible. It was so small that he thought that he might have made a mistake, perhaps it hadn't started yet.

But no matter how much he waited for that to continue, it never did. He was completely surprised as he didn't understand how something like this could ever happen.

The disciples who had consumed this thing before had been able to breakthrough one big Realm in Soul cultivation, whilst to him, it was nothing more than a drop of water.

Thinking that it was probably something wrong with the herb root he consumed, another one appeared in front of him, that he almost immediately consumed.

Just like the first time through the change was really small, it was once again just a drop of water in a big, and deep lake. This was ridiculous, but also quite understandable at the same time.

What he meant is that he was really disappointed that this thing was so lowly effective on his Soul cultivation, but at the same time he could completely understand why, and the reason was to his satisfaction.

The truth was that with this happening, one could understand the true difference between the Soul Cultivation Realms.

The first Realm, the Soul Novice had just a drop of water of Soul Power on the scale, and while the breakthrough gave some good enhancements, it was still just the first step of the staircase.

The second Realm, the Soul Apprentice had around a little bucket of water of Soul Power on the scale.

The enhancements were better, as it made one at least 3-5 times better, and faster mentally, and spiritually than a similar cultivator, it was still just the second step.

The third Realm, the Soul Master Realm seemed to be totally different from the first two, because not only it suddenly turned into a big lake of Soul Power, but it also had a much bigger enhancement.

For example, Tianlong Yun at the moment had at least 10 times higher perception, and procession than any other cultivator in his level.

While the number might not sound big, in reality, the difference between 5 and 6 alone was like that of night and day.

For this reason, the disappointment, and the bad feelings left after seeing how useless this thing was to him, were totally extinguished by this understanding.

At the same time, he felt a bit troubled by the future, as this was just the Soul Master Realm, and things were already so difficult, what would happen when things went further ahead.

Besides being a Royal Race, and the fact that it was in his blood to always wish for the peaks, Tianlong Yun had always thought that a great cultivator always should strive for the highest peak of his path.

For that reason, even though it looked like it would be close to impossible to reach the peaks of the Soul cultivation path, Tianlong Yun never doubted his goal and his final stop.

He wasn't really sure what expected him at the end of that route, but one thing was for sure he would be able to look at everything he saw from up above.

With these thoughts in mind, he once again closed his eyes, as he delved into his meditation, and cultivation stance, trying to reach his normal and best condition.

He didn't have only these small things in his 'pocket' at the moment, he had a few larger ones that certainly should provide him with some more qualitative and quantitative Soul Power.

In no time he had returned to his natural state, as this time a slightly bigger, and darker 'herb root' appeared in front of him.

Besides its size and power this 'herb root' wasn't really different from those small ones, even though this one belonged to one of those bigger trees.

Looking at this thing without taking his eyes off it there was only one thought in Tianlong Yun's mind right now. 'Just how much more disgusting would eating this thing be!?'

Since there was a difference in size and color, there should be a difference in taste, too right? At least that was what his logic told him right now.

This made him a bit reluctant to eat this thing, but that was just a fleeting feeling, as the next instant that 'herb root' disappeared into his mouth and then his throat.

Just like he thought it was much more disgusting than the first two he had eaten combined, but still he forced himself to swallow it down.

The moment it passed his throat he felt something leave the 'herb root' and directly head for his consciousness sea.

He had been expecting something like this to happen, so he didn't overreact to it, even though this remnant soul looked more powerful, and dangerous than the first two.

Still, Tianlong Yun didn't bother it until it entered his consciousness sea and prepared for his attack in there, and upon his Soul Avatar.

Things would certainly get a little a bit difficult from now on, as he would have to fight an opponent which he didn't quite understand his strength.

Thinking like that he didn't lower his guard even for a little moment, and had totally concentrated on the remnant soul, when suddenly as soon as it entered the remnant soul stopped for a moment.

This clearly surprised Tianlong Yun, as he was used to these guys always attacking immediately as they entered the consciousness sea of their 'killer'.

Yet this guy stopped for a moment before once again continuing full speed towards his target. The principle didn't seem to change, only one of the two souls would be able to survive.

But right now, Tianlong Yun's attention wasn't on that guy, as he was totally concentrated on what he left behind.

The moment that it had stopped the remnant soul had been divided into two parts, the big one that headed immediately towards the center area of his consciousness sea, and an existential one.

This other guy was really small, and weak, as it felt like the easiest breeze would fly it away, and probably kill it.

Still, its size was also the best camouflage it could have, as no one would be able to notice it before it was too late.

Tianlong Yun had been able to notice this thing just because he was keeping a close eye on the remnant soul that entered his consciousness sea space.

That didn't matter anymore, as he was more interested in where was this guy headed too, even though he already had a guess.

And just like he thought, it was heading towards his negative thoughts, feelings, and emotions area, as the more, it approached it the happier, and faster it became.

In front of him was a big banquet of negative feelings, emotions, and thoughts, that he couldn't wait to taste, and grow stronger.

One could say that Tianlong Yun would be the perfect host for any such kind of being to grow stronger, and bigger.

It was this little guy's heaven, the best he could ask. Too bad that he couldn't quite taste this heaven that was in front of him.

The moment he got so close to the target, a small tongue of fire came from behind him, and turned him into nothing more than Soul Power
