Chapter 1947 - Soul Palace"s Top Disciple

Natalya didn"t immediately leave but turned to look toward the Soul Palace, where Threelotus also looked at her with worry in her heart before bowing to her and taking a step forward in the air towards the battle stage.

Natalya"s brows couldn"t help but twitch.

Unfortunately, she got matched with an ally again, making Natalya wonder what kind of wrong she had committed to be this unlucky. 

"Ivy Aries…"

Nonetheless, she turned to look at the other flying silhouette who wore a jade-green robe with lotus ornaments. Her green eyes appeared clear and limpid while free-flowing blue hair swayed in the wind gently. Her blue-green veil shadowed her exquisite features, but the people could instinctively feel that she was a peerless beauty.

Little was known about her other than her status as the Young Mistress of the Jade Lotus Valley. It was also said that she might marry Rayn Shard in the future; although it was just a rumor, some rumors were along the lines of the truth.

Since the Emperor Sword Sect was an enemy, and the Jade Lotus Valley was its ally, Natalya naturally didn"t have a good impression of this Ivy Aries.

"I"m going then..."

"Come back soon."

Natalya waved her hand at her sisters, who seemed a bit sad as they sent her off. They were in the midst of talking and developing their sisterhood with each other, but they were angered to be interrupted.

It didn"t take much for Zestria to blend, but Bylai still looked had some reservations but was slowly loosening up. This kind of conversation without reserve for one"s reputation wasn"t something she experienced in her more than four hundred years of life.

Natalya appeared above the battle stage and waited for the Seven Sky Transformation Spatial Formation to activate.

*Bzzz!~*

The world above the battle stage changed. The tile floors disappeared, replaced with a harrowing field of scorching land. There were channels underground, holes on the surface, and cave openings on the adjacent rocky structures where magma flowed out.

An intense fire-attribute aura roamed the lands.

However, Natalya didn"t feel suppressed because her prowess had already reached Peak-Level Law Rune Stage, although she did feel a bit constrained. Nonetheless, this kind of suppression would only work on High-Level Ninth Stage Cultivators. If it wanted to suppress her, they might need to spend more energy, but that would quickly expend the formation, increasing its usage.

Since Natalya still didn"t feel the suppression, she mused that they didn"t want to waste the formation"s energy, but considering that this was already a huge expenditure for them, she understood.

There were also mountains in this fiery world, volcanic mountains spewing out magma and ashes as though they were going to erupt. Because of them, she couldn"t see her opponents, but one of their undulations could be sensed while the other disappeared.

Natalya took a step forward in the air and gracefully flew, heading in the direction she sensed the undulations while she could sense that the other party was also heading towards her. In a few seconds, she came in contact with a dark-green-robed woman.

"You didn"t hide from me. I"ll commend your courage, Ivy Aries." Natalya spoke in a prideful tone.

Although she felt like she lost in terms of beauty upon catching a close look at Ivy Aries, she still had the confidence that her power still reigned over the other.

She never considered herself beautiful in front of the bevy of women Davis possessed anyway, nor did she get jealous of them. 

However, she didn"t know that she wouldn"t lose out to Niera in terms of beauty at the moment. 

Ever since she started practicing the Forsaken Yin Lotus Manual and absorbed the Forsaken Yin Lotus, her features only became more refined, and the diluted drops of Ice Phoenix Immortal Blood also gave her a n.o.ble image. 

The charm she exuded was unknown to her because she only had Davis in her eyes. As long as he looked at her and loved her like he always did, things like vanity were insignificant in comparison. She was simple-minded, but that helped her concentrate on things she needed to focus on.

Ivy Aries also measured Natalya, sensing an infallible aura from her. It was as though whatever she threw at her would come das.h.i.+ng down on her or be easily deflected. This kind of aura could only be sensed from those who practiced Yin Laws to a high degree, and she could now finally see that saying was not false.

"Greetings."

Ivy Aries clasped her hand, her voice echoing in a gentle yet proud tone.

"I saw that you in possession of a technique like us. I"m glad that someone this strong also understands the power of the lotus flower."

"Well… I guess…" 

Natalya pursed her lips, thinking that she did not admire lotus flowers to their degree of admiration, but this cultivation path was given by Davis to her when he gifted her the Forsaken Yin Lotus Manual on her marriage night. 

When she received it, she was extremely moved, treasuring it. However, she was confused, not knowing why no one else was practicing this powerful manual in the human race. She had expected to come into trouble, but no one even seemed to be remotely aware of it while even Ivy Aries was probing her, wanting to gain some information.

Unfortunately, she had no idea about the Forsaken Yin Lotus Manual and thought only Davis knew but didn"t bother asking, but she didn"t know that even he wasn"t aware.

Unlike them, only Myria was aware of its origins, but they didn"t know of that.

Abruptly, the both of them turned to look in a direction as their eyes caught fixed on a volcanic range.

"You can stop hiding, Threelotus."

Natalya"s voice amicably echoed when a white-robed woman flew out of the volcano"s opening. It could be seen that she tried to blend amidst the intense, fiery aura but was noticed by them.

An awkward expression appeared on Threelotus"s face, but it was a good thing her veil blocked it. She clasped her hand towards them and spoke.

"Threelotus greets seniors."

In the cultivation world, whoever had the stronger might can claim to be senior. Clearly, Threelotus understood that she had little to no chance of winning against them and directly considered herself a junior.

But on the other hand, although Natalya remained confident in her abilities, Ivy Aries appeared fairly cautious of Threelotus.

One shouldn"t underestimate a Peak-Level King Soul Stage Expert whose prowess is at the peak of Low-Level Emperor Soul Stage. Perhaps, her prowess could probably even enter the Mid-Level Emperor Soul Stage if she unleashed her blood essence. Such suppression wasn"t something they could handle if caught unprepared.

They would instantly be suppressed, sometimes unable to do anything.

Both Natalya and Ivy Aries already had their soul seas covered in a defensive layer of their essence energies. It would be difficult for Threelotus to do anything to them unless she could find an opening, but those openings were what she created to defeat her opponents previously and claim victory.

But to create an opening against them? Very difficult. After all, her previous opponents possessed a Mid-Level Law Rune Stage prowess, but they were higher.

However, Ivy Aries couldn"t help feel a little envious of Threelotus. Her Jade Lotus Valley lacked only one thing: Soul Forging Cultivation resources.

Natalya would"ve felt the same if she hadn"t met Davis.

After all, the way the Soul Palace disciples cultivated could only be said to be luxurious. 

Each Mature Soul Stage, Supreme Soul Stage Cultivator, and King Soul Stage Cultivator had their own Soul Nouris.h.i.+ng Formations that weren"t present in any other powers. They were unique formations that helped them resonate more with the heaven and earth energy and comprehend its profundities. 

Even while they"re sleeping, their souls would be continued to nourish in their abodes.

Such treatment is something the other power"s disciples would rarely receive. Even if they had such formations, they were ancient formations that couldn"t be decoded properly, so not many could replicate them and allow many disciples to experience the nourishment simultaneously. However, the Soul Palace"s Soul Emperors could precisely do it, so they had an advantage over this kind of cultivation regiment.

With the insights left by many seniors and elders, the disciples could make quick progress in their Soul Forging Cultivation.

Even Lea, with the blood of the Burning Phoenix, could only make it to the Peak-Level King Soul Stage in three to four thousand years from the moment she was born. It was only after Lea consumed the Fire Phoenix Immortal Blood did she make quick improvement, stepping into the Emperor Soul Stage. Nevertheless, one could see the vast time required for such a talented person to step into the Peak-Level King Soul Stage, but that time was considerably shortened for Soul Palace"s disciples due to having the apt resources.

Yotan and Threelotus were only around two hundred years old, but they had already reached Peak-Level King Soul Stage before Davis"s arrival. If this wasn"t due to their sect"s formations and pills unique to Soul Forging Cultivation, then what is?

"Then let me experience the power of the Soul Palace"s top disciple first~"

Ivy Aries moved at this moment. Her figure shone with a light green light as she took a step forward. With each step she took, a watery green lotus bloomed, seemingly leaving a mark of her advent.

Threelotus"s expression became solemn as her soul force surged. She clasped her hands, forming some seals before she quickly drew on the air, a bunch of inscriptions appearing before it directly const.i.tuted into a complex rune that shone brightly.

"Spirit Formation: Soul Binding Net."
