|
||
As Max stepped inside his Soul Palace, the world around him shifted.
|
||
|
||
The darkness of the void faded away, replaced by—
|
||
|
||
A vast expanse of floating golden spheres.
|
||
|
||
There were hundreds of thousands of them.
|
||
|
||
Endless.
|
||
|
||
Shimmering.
|
||
|
||
Floating in an endless sea of light.
|
||
|
||
Each sphere varied in size.
|
||
|
||
Some were as small as his fingers. Read new chapters at freewebnovel
|
||
|
||
Others were as massive as colossal giants, looming like golden suns.
|
||
|
||
They hovered silently, drifting with a gentle pulse—as if they were alive.
|
||
|
||
Max’s eyes flickered as he took in the sight.
|
||
|
||
He had never seen anything like this before.
|
||
|
||
’Is this my soul force?’
|
||
|
||
The thought echoed in his mind as he slowly turned his gaze across the countless golden spheres.
|
||
|
||
He reached out—
|
||
|
||
His fingertips brushed against one of the smaller spheres.
|
||
|
||
A pulse of energy ran through him.
|
||
|
||
Warm. Familiar.
|
||
|
||
It was as if he had touched a part of himself.
|
||
|
||
A part of his existence.
|
||
|
||
If this truly was his soul force…
|
||
|
||
Then that meant—
|
||
|
||
This world wasn’t just a space.
|
||
|
||
It was him.
|
||
|
||
A physical manifestation of his very being.
|
||
|
||
And now—
|
||
|
||
For the first time—
|
||
|
||
He had stepped inside it.
|
||
|
||
As Max floated among the golden spheres, his gaze was drawn elsewhere.
|
||
|
||
To an area where the golden spheres were scarce.
|
||
|
||
Unlike the rest of the vast expanse, which overflowed with soul energy, this region felt… empty.
|
||
|
||
And at the center of this emptiness—
|
||
|
||
A single transparent sphere.
|
||
|
||
It was colorless.
|
||
|
||
Silent.
|
||
|
||
Floating alone, detached from the countless orbs surrounding it.
|
||
|
||
It was massive— about the same size as Max himself.
|
||
|
||
But what truly caught his attention—
|
||
|
||
Was what lay inside it.
|
||
|
||
Inside the transparent sphere, there were two things.
|
||
|
||
⬛ A mass of small black cube.
|
||
|
||
🔴 A red, seed-like object.
|
||
|
||
The black cubes seemed… familiar.
|
||
|
||
A strange pull in his soul made him feel connected to them.
|
||
|
||
As if they were a part of him.
|
||
|
||
Then—
|
||
|
||
His eyes widened in realization.
|
||
|
||
’The Tai Chi Diagram… the black part!’
|
||
|
||
He immediately understood.
|
||
|
||
The black cubes were connected to the dark half of the Tai Chi Diagram—
|
||
|
||
The same darkness that once sealed his Soul Palace.
|
||
|
||
And since the white half was missing…
|
||
|
||
There was no white counterpart to the cubes.
|
||
|
||
But then—
|
||
|
||
His gaze shifted to the other object—
|
||
|
||
The red seed.
|
||
|
||
It radiated an energy unlike anything he had ever encountered before.
|
||
|
||
Something ancient.
|
||
|
||
Something dormant.
|
||
|
||
But most of all—
|
||
|
||
Something that was waiting to awaken.
|
||
|
||
Max stared at the transparent sphere, his mind racing.
|
||
|
||
’But what’s with the red seed?’
|
||
|
||
Max’s gaze lingered on the strange object.
|
||
|
||
Unlike the black cubes, which felt connected to him—
|
||
|
||
The red seed felt… different.
|
||
|
||
Foreign.
|
||
|
||
Almost like it didn’t belong inside him.
|
||
|
||
He couldn’t sense anything from it.
|
||
|
||
No aura.
|
||
|
||
No presence.
|
||
|
||
No connection.
|
||
|
||
It was completely silent.
|
||
|
||
As if it was just an object floating in his soul.
|
||
|
||
Yet—
|
||
|
||
He instinctively knew that wasn’t the case.
|
||
|
||
Because things that existed in the Soul Palace weren’t just objects.
|
||
|
||
They were representations of something deeper.
|
||
|
||
Max contemplated.
|
||
|
||
The red seed had been in his Soul Palace for years without any visible effect.
|
||
|
||
That meant—
|
||
|
||
It was probably not dangerous.
|
||
|
||
At least, not yet.
|
||
|
||
And even if it was—
|
||
|
||
What could he do about it?
|
||
|
||
It wasn’t like he could just reach into his soul and remove it.
|
||
|
||
He sighed, shaking his head.
|
||
|
||
’I’ll think about this later.’
|
||
|
||
For now—
|
||
|
||
He needed to focus on the matter at hand.
|
||
|
||
’Alright… Time to condense my soul into solid form.’
|
||
|
||
Max exhaled, steadying himself.
|
||
|
||
He crossed his legs, sitting in a meditative position.
|
||
|
||
His mind calmed, his focus sharp.
|
||
|
||
Slowly—
|
||
|
||
He pressed his palms together, channeling his concentration into the technique.
|
||
|
||
The Hundred Refined Threads Soul.
|
||
|
||
A technique that allowed him to refine his soul force—
|
||
|
||
To turn it from raw soul force into solid threads of power.
|
||
|
||
As he activated the technique—
|
||
|
||
The golden spheres around him trembled.
|
||
|
||
All of them.
|
||
|
||
From the smallest ones floating gently…
|
||
|
||
To the colossal orbs looming like golden suns.
|
||
|
||
They responded to his command.
|
||
|
||
But—
|
||
|
||
As soon as he tried to control them all at once—
|
||
|
||
A sharp pain shot through his mind.
|
||
|
||
’Ugh…!’
|
||
|
||
The strain was immense.
|
||
|
||
There were too many.
|
||
|
||
Hundreds of thousands.
|
||
|
||
An ocean of raw soul force, vast and untamed.
|
||
|
||
Trying to control them all at once was like trying to move an entire sea with his bare hands.
|
||
|
||
It was impossible.
|
||
|
||
’I guess this is also the reason why people condense their soul force into solid forms… for better control.’
|
||
|
||
Max mused, understanding the core purpose behind this technique.
|
||
|
||
Raw soul force was too chaotic.
|
||
|
||
It was like a wild storm, impossible to command in its current state.
|
||
|
||
That’s why—
|
||
|
||
The first step to true mastery was to refine it.
|
||
|
||
To turn it from scattered energy into something precise, something controllable.
|
||
|
||
He shifted his focus to a single small golden sphere.
|
||
|
||
One among the countless hundreds of thousands floating around him.
|
||
|
||
He activated Hundred Refined Threads Soul.
|
||
|
||
Slowly—
|
||
|
||
Carefully—
|
||
|
||
He began to unravel the sphere.
|
||
|
||
It was like pulling apart dots of golden particles—
|
||
|
||
Each particle delicate, resisting separation.
|
||
|
||
Little by little, the golden sphere fragmented into tiny dots—
|
||
|
||
Tiny golden particles that hovered in the air.
|
||
|
||
But—
|
||
|
||
It was far harder than he had expected.
|
||
|
||
If his focus wavered even slightly—
|
||
|
||
The golden particles would merge back together, reforming the sphere.
|
||
|
||
Undoing all of his effort.
|
||
|
||
’Damn… it’s so delicate.’
|
||
|
||
He realized that this process couldn’t be rushed.
|
||
|
||
Soul condensation required absolute precision.
|
||
|
||
It was like sculpting glass.
|
||
|
||
One mistake—
|
||
|
||
And everything he had done would turn futile.
|
||
|
||
Time drifted away as Max continued his meticulous work.
|
||
|
||
The golden sphere, once solid and whole, was slowly unraveling.
|
||
|
||
Bit by bit—
|
||
|
||
It transformed.
|
||
|
||
At first, only half of it had broken down into tiny golden particles, leaving behind a hemisphere of condensed soul force.
|
||
|
||
But Max didn’t let that distract him.
|
||
|
||
He didn’t rush.
|
||
|
||
He didn’t force the process.
|
||
|
||
He simply continued.
|
||
|
||
Maintaining absolute focus.
|
||
|
||
Maintaining absolute control.
|
||
|
||
Every particle needed to be freed.
|
||
|
||
Every piece needed to be perfect.
|
||
|
||
Finally—
|
||
|
||
After an entire hour of relentless concentration—
|
||
|
||
The golden sphere was gone.
|
||
|
||
In its place—
|
||
|
||
A floating cloud of tiny particles.
|
||
|
||
They hovered before him, shimmering like a small golden nebula.
|
||
|
||
Max exhaled slowly, his body relaxing.
|
||
|
||
’Finally… I did it.’
|
||
|
||
The first step was done.
|
||
|
||
The sphere was no longer a sphere.
|
||
|
||
Now—
|
||
|
||
It was a raw, unrefined cloud of pure soul force.
|
||
|
||
But this was only the beginning.
|
||
|
||
Now, he had to take the next step.
|
||
|
||
The most important step.
|
||
|
||
’The first part is done… Now for the second.’
|
||
|
||
Max’s eyes gleamed with focus.
|
||
|
||
The tiny golden particles he had unraveled from the sphere floated around him like shimmering dust, waiting to be shaped.
|
||
|
||
This was the true challenge.
|
||
|
||
He had successfully broken down his soul force into its purest form—
|
||
|
||
Now, he had to restructure it into something more solid.
|
||
|
||
In his case, a thread.
|
||
|
||
Following the Hundred Refined Threads Soul technique, Max carefully manipulated the particles.
|
||
|
||
Instead of letting them drift freely—
|
||
|
||
He guided them.
|
||
|
||
Layer by layer.
|
||
|
||
Piece by piece.
|
||
|
||
They slowly began to stack on top of each other.
|
||
|
||
Merging.
|
||
|
||
Condensing.
|
||
|
||
From scattered dust, they started to form a single, fine thread.
|
||
|
||
Thin.
|
||
|
||
Delicate.
|
||
|
||
Yet stronger than before.
|
||
|
||
It was no longer a loose cloud of energy.
|
||
|
||
Now—
|
||
|
||
It had structure.
|
||
|
||
It had form.
|
||
|
||
"The first thread…."
|
||
|
||
Max muttered, staring at his creation.
|
||
|
||
A thin golden strand hovered before him, radiating a faint pulse of energy.
|
||
|
||
It was just one.
|
||
|
||
A single thread.
|
||
|
||
But he knew—
|
||
|
||
This was only the beginning.
|
||
|
||
To truly master the technique—
|
||
|
||
He needed to create hundreds.
|
||
|
||
To weave them together—
|
||
|
||
To refine them further—
|
||
|
||
Until his entire soul force was composed of unbreakable threads.
|
||
|
||
’This will take time… but once it’s done, I’ll be far stronger than before.’
|
||
|
||
He clenched his fists, determination burning in his eyes. |
