The Charm of Soul Pets

Chapter 1341: Night, Immortal Rank!

Coming back to Wind Rain City, the five of them felt as if they were in a completely foreign city.

Wind Rain City was no longer covered with lightning and clouds. This city’s original watery gray appearance was now white.

On the harbor, the silver white New Moon Navy Army sat pristinely. The city’s white streets were clean and orderly. The rooms and architecture were also all white. With such a new and fresh city, all newcomers would grow to like it.

It’s pretty unexpected that Wind Rain City has gone through this much change in the brief year we were gone.” Pang Yue exclaimed.

Ning Maner was nodding her head vigorously too. When she first floated over to this city, the city was forever shrouded in clouds and had no sun. This feeling wasn’t something normal people could withstand. There was no sign of the sun that was shining brightly now.

Once they reached the harbor, the five of them waved at Sang Ying, and checked out how developed the navy was now.

The navy went from its original size of 3000 to 10,000, comprised of all elites.

According to Sang Ying, New Moon Land’s ocean wasn’t very vast. There was no need to create a massive navy. Ten thousand was more than enough.

Thus, Sang Ying didn’t continue to gather navy members and instead kept this number while improving everyone’s strength, hoping to make this navy into a force renowned through Eternal Ocean.

Chu Mu felt that Sang Ying’s actions were correct. Liu Binglan also didn’t attempt to expand New Moon Land’s territory while developing the land. She instead wanted to create a unique territory between Zhenming Continent and Wupan Continent. It didn’t need many people nor any massive mercantile connections. It only needed to keep its spot in this world and be unshaken by outsiders!

After seeing the progress in the navy, the five of them left Wind Rain City to head towards Wanxiang City.

......

Wanxiang City’s changes weren’t huge. Though New Moon Land had a vast reserve of gold now, it kept its original appearance, not having many clear changes.

If one had to point something out, it would be Nightmare Palace.

Wanxiang City’s Nightmare Palace was burnt to ashes by White Three. Upon rebuilding it, Nightmare Palace decided they might as well make it silver and show New Moon Land’s symbolic color.

Prince Chao left the group when they passed Xiangrong City. This fellow couldn’t wait to see Xia Zhixian anymore. Having been apart for a year, his longing was evident from how he left for Xiangrong City without even saying a word of farewell to the rest of them.

Once they reached Wanxiang City, Ye Wansheng of course went to see Shen Yue. Saying his farewell quickly, he headed towards the new Nightmare Palace.

Pang Yue went back to her Soul Pet Palace. Chu Mu brought Ning Maner to Soul Palace.

Three palaces were created in a triangle shape around the New Moon Palace, with Soul Palace as the deepest corner. Thus, every time he flew over to Soul Palace, Chu Mu would always go past New Moon Palace where people were discussing important matters.

This time, New Moon Palace was tightly shut, likely meaning that nothing important had happened.

Like usual, Chu Mu went to report to Liu Binglan the moment he came back to Wanxiang City.

“So that beautiful Female Supreme is brother’s mother?” Ning Maner blinked and said in surprise.

The same time Ning Maner had been taken away, Liu Binglan was in the Wanxiang Palace Soul Palace so Ning Maner had seen her a few times. However, she never knew that the Female Supreme was Chu Mu’s mother.

“Don’t call her sister!” Chu Mu warned Ning Maner.

If Ning Maner called Liu Binglan sister, what would he be?

Liu Binglan seemed to know that Chu Mu was back, and was waiting on the pebbled courtyard waiting for him.

As he walked over, Liu Binglan noticed that aside Chu Mu had a beautiful and refined girl with her and was slightly confused.

Like most women, Liu Binglan was slightly averse to unfaithful men. However, as a mother, if Liu Binglan saw Chu Mu surrounded by many girls, her joyous emotions were definitely still in line with most mothers!

Thus, seeing Chu Mu bringing back an angel-like girl this time, her smile grew even wider and she carelessly threw Chu Mu aside.

After talking a bit, Liu Binglan found out that she was the girl stolen away all those years ago. Liu Binglan finally understood that this was the young girl that helped Chu Mu recover from his devil self. She hadn’t expected her to grow to be this beautiful in a mere few years.

Ning Maner herself was naturally likeable. This was her species ability. Thus, it wasn’t long before Chu Mu couldn’t even put a word of his own into the discussion.

Chu Mu simply let them be and went back to his own courtyard to train.

Just before he left, he was chided by both Ning Maner and Liu Binglan for being a workaholic.

After returning to his room, Chu Mu clearly felt that his soul’s level was raising again

After devouring White Three’s Black Nightmare soul, Chu Mu’s soul remembrance went straight from sixth remembrance to eighth remembrance. And with the soul pets all increasing in strength, Chu Mu’s soul remembrance still had room for improvement.

Chu Mu could feel that this time, it was Night’s soul transforming!

In the past six months of journeying, after Ning Maner recovered, she put most of her aura together and injected some into Night every day.

Over those days, Night was basically basking in constant nurturing of immortal items.

Chu Mu originally was afraid of some accident happening. Maybe Night’s commander rank would cause it to be unable to step into immortal rank, or maybe because Night had died once, its corpse would affect its potential.

Over these many days, Chu Mu had been closely monitoring it.

Today, finally coming back to Wanxiang City, Chu Mu finally felt Night’s soul change!

Change meant that Night was stepping towards immortal rank!

Putting down a barrier to stop anyone from disturbing him, Chu Mu sat down and fell into meditation to send his remembrance into Night’s soul.

Right now, Night’s soul was torrential like a tsunami. It was constantly barraging the giant barrier that was immortal rank. If it could get through, Night’s soul would reach a new, more mystical level!

Night already had the chance of stepping into immortal rank back in Demon Burial Mound. This breakthrough could be said to be two years late. Night didn’t want to drag it on any longer, so this time Night was putting its all into this bottleneck while utilizing Ning Maner’s nurturing power!

Chu Mu also created a guiding force to help Night get through!

The improvement process was one of overcoming one’s past self. It was a limit test to one’s body and soul!

If one failed, he would expend all power, stamina, and energy.

Furthermore, if there were one failure, it was extremely detrimental mentally, and also would leave unseen wounds that affect future attempts. THus, this first attempt had to be taken wisely and hopefully, it could take down the barrier in one go!

The soul world’s tides were like Night, full of a wild and rampant nature!

The tides roared forth as if imbued with Night’s Chasing Wind Pursuing Moon. These two years of constant waiting accelerated these tides to create a monstrous wave!!!

Chu Mu’s remembrance was also in this tide. Chu Mu could even clearly feel the sky-high barrier that was immortal rank!

At this moment, Chu Mu’s heart was afire too!

Immortal rank was a territory Chu Mu had long awaited for.

As if running across a boundless plain, the black tide that surpassed Night’s extremes became faster and faster. As it neared the mountain, Chu Mu could even hear Night’s long call as it slammed without hesitation into the barrier!!

“Huhuhu~~~~~~~~”

Black energy became a storm that roared through Chu Mu’s courtyard into Soul Palace, and even further out into the entire Wanxiang City!

It was originally a sunny afternoon. However, in this moment, the sky suddenly was covered in thick black clouds, creating a giant swirl that surrounded the entire city!

The city was thrown into panic as everyone noticed only Wanxiang City was covered in darkness. Everywhere else still had sun.

In a deep courtyard of Wanxiang City, a white-bearded old man frantically ran out of his courtyard and gazed into the sky.

“This..... This is...... Is a soul pet stepping into the immortal rank?!” The white-bearded old man was the Cloud Gate Elder.

However, no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn’t think of who could have stepped into the immortal rank!

Outside the city, four people from the Greater Territory Capital stood in place with their commands, no longer daring to walk in.

“What’s happening, why is the sky suddenly dark?” A young man asked confused.

The middle-aged man furrowed his brow. After gazing for a long while, he said, “It should be some soul pet stepping into the immortal rank, one can tell from the aura.”

The other three were stunned and said, “This is New Moon Land, how can there be immortal rank experts?”

“Maybe this time, we didn’t come in vain. If they have immortal rank experts, then they indeed have the qualifications to participate in this conference.” The middle-aged man started considering, “However, I wonder which expert’s soul pet broke through...... this New Moon Land truly is well hidden and mysterious.”

“I really didn’t expect this. It sounds like rumors are sometimes wrong.”

“Of course, we can’t eliminate the possibility that an immortal rank expert was just passing by and suddenly had their soul pet breakthrough.”
