Chapter 730: Chapter 730 – Cutting Off the Past

Zhou Xuanji felt very warm in that beam of light . And to his surprise, his cultivation was starting to rise .

He couldn’t help but be surprised . He had never thought that becoming a Soul Guardian would come with such perks .

At the same time, a memory flooded into his mind, regarding the responsibilities of the Soul Guardian .

Most of the time, he would have to stay at the Soul Source Pond . His true body wasn’t necessary, a clone could work as well .

Every hundred years, he would have to throw the fruit of the Soul Source Tree behind him into the Soul Source Pond .

The Soul Source Fruit was the source of souls . One was enough to give birth to untold souls .

After a long time…

The beam of light finally dissipated as Zhou Xuanji opened his eyes .

His cultivation had increased a lot . He had taken a big step close to the Dao Ancestor Realm . This had saved him a hundred years of hard penance .

And for him, a hundred years of penance wasn’t easy .

He then turned his gaze at the shore and discovered that the Soul Guardian had already disappeared .

From now on, he was the Soul Guardian .

He turned and started looking around . There was a house by the shore . Behind this house was a large towering tree with mist lingering around it .

Zhou Xuanji walked into the house . The house wasn’t spacious by all means, and it looked and smelled old . There were incense and candles by the windowsill, as well as a wooden bed, a table, and a chair . Apart from this, there was nothing else .

Nothing was even laid on the wooden bed .

Zhou Xuanji felt that it had been taken away by the previous Soul Guardian as it was really bare .

After checking the house, he walked to the Soul Source Pond and summoned the Old Immortal .

Very soon, the remnant soul of the Old Immortal was floating before him .

When the Old Immortal saw the Soul Source Pool, he was deeply moved .

“You have really surpassed my expectations . From now on, you can only depend on yourself . Can you do it?” Old Immortal turned around and asked with a smile, gazing at Zhou Xuanji .

Zhou Xuanji replied, “But of course . Furthermore, I have never been alone . ”

No matter how big of danger he was in, whenever he thought of Emperor Sword Court, he never lost hope .

Emperor Sword Court could no longer provide any help strength-wise but he could provide him a solace to his soul .

“That’s good then . If I get to know you in my next life, I hope that I would be looking up to you then,” said Old Immortal, stroking his beard and smiling . Afterward, he plunged into the Soul Source Pond .

Zhou Xuanji stood by the pond in a trance .

He was reminiscing about the past .

When the Great Emperor Dao Court was chasing him down, he felt he was at the end of the rope . But it was Old Immortal who made him settle down .

Whenever he was confused, he would talk to Old Immortal .

Old Immortal took him into the Dao Realm and then directed him to the Kunlun Origin Court .

Along the way, Old Immortal had long become his master .

Now, he had repaid the gratitude . And he wasn’t sad; rather, he had a new understanding of life .

The only regret he had was that he still didn’t know the name of the Old Immortal .

“I hope that we will have the chance to meet in the next life . ”

Zhou Xuanji smiled slightly before he turned around and made his

toward the Soul Source Tree .

His white robe flapped and his sleeves danced along with the wind . He walked freely and with no worries .

From now on, the past would be completely left along with the winds and the future would truly begin .

He arrived at the Soul Source Tree and raised his head to look up .

The Soul Source Tree was very tall . Its branches were intertwined with each other and were filled with human head-sized black crystal clear fruits which bore quite a striking resemblance with pears .

Zhou Xuanji’s glabella suddenly cracked open as the Soul Source Orb emerged .

His pupils started glowing purple . At this moment, he had an inexplicable strong urge to devour the Soul Source Fruit .

He could strengthen the Soul Source Orb by swallowing the Soul Source Fruit . The Stronger the Soul Source Orb was, the faster his cultivation would grow .

Ever since the Soul Source Fruit fused with him, he could feel Dao Energy seeping into his glabella every moment, every second . Although the Soul Source Orb was absorbing it, he could also absorb a part of it using World Internalization .

To prevent himself from going overboard, he turned around and left .

He made his way to the side of the pool and took out Chaos Demon God, Pan Zhen .

Pan Zhen was his strongest avatar . Naturally, it would not be a problem for him to stay here .

He then left this world according to the route in his memory that he had obtained when he became a Soul Guardian .

After an hour…

He let out Ying Zhuge and Ren Niming after returning to the Evil Sky Divine Range .

Ying Zhuge went to cultivate alone, while Zhou Xuanji brought Ren Niming to Si Mengyan, Qiu Hu, and the others .

Naturally, when old friends meet, they would have a lot to talk about .

Zhou Xuanji didn’t remain to chat with them and went to Zhou Xiaoxuan .

The father and daughter duo came to a secluded valley .

Zhou Xiaoxuan sat down cross-legged and asked curiously, “Father, what’s the matter?”

Zhou Xuanji rarely took the initiative to talk to her alone . She couldn’t help but be in anticipation .

Could it be a new Sword Dao divine ability?

Zhou Xuanji brought out the Soul Source Orb as a purple beam shot out and enveloped Zhou Xiaoxuan .

In an instant, Zhou Xiaoxuan turned stiff .

Zhou Xuanji began to use the power of the Soul Source Orb to wash her soul .

He could feel the violence and resentment deep in her soul .

He was surprised at how this kind of inheritance could exist . Why could it even pass on emotions and choose its successor in some unknown way?

Under the radiance from the Soul Source Orb, those negative emotions were quickly wiped clean .

After half an hour…

Zhou Xuanji put back the Soul Source Orb . As the purple beam disappeared, Zhou Xiaoxuan too woke up .

She asked, confused, “Why did I fall asleep?”

She stood up and yawned, stretching her body .

Naturally, she wouldn’t turn coy and shy in front of her father .

“I’ll pass you a divine ability,” Zhou Xuanji smiled and stated, preparing to teach her Ultimate Chaos Dao .

Having been affected by Zhou Xuanji, Zhou Xiaoxuan too liked this kind of mighty divine abilities . Especially the Sword Dao divine abilities of the Primordial Chaos Divine Shadow .

“Great! Awesome!” Zhou Xiaoxuan cried cheerfully .

Next, Zhou Xuanji began to teach her .

…

Ten years later…

Zhou Xuanji was teaching Jiang Xue cultivation on the mountainside . With his help, Jiang Xue’s cultivation was also advancing by leaps and bounds .

Except for Sword Dao, her talent wasn’ that bad .

And coupled with Zhou Xuanji’s resources, how could her cultivation not grow rapidly?

Everything was moving in a good direction .

Today, Beast Sovereign suddenly sent him a voice transmission, asking him to come to the Sovereign Palace .

Zhou Xuanji gave a quick explanation to Jiang Xue and quickly left .

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn…

He arrived at the Sovereign Palace . He bowed to Beast Sovereign and greeted, “Greetings, Sovereign . ”

Beast Sovereign’s face turned a little pale . He looked at Zhou Xuanji and cried in surprise, “Even the Soul Source Orb fused with you . It seems that your soul aptitude is also very outstanding . ”

Zhou Xuanji was surprised that Beast Sovereign only came to know about this now .

Apparently, Beast Sovereign had just returned .

It took a decade to wipe out the remnants of the Daohu Qiuzun?

“You are now a Soul Guardian and this Sovereign needs your help . After you finished this task, I will provide a chance to enter the Great Dao Tempering Pool for a century,” said Beast Sovereign .

Zhou Xuanji immediately narrowed his eyes upon hearing this .

The time to enter the Great Dao Tempering Pool wasn’t something that could be bought with merit points . It required one to have done meritorious deeds . In addition, this time period could even be accumulated and even passed on to others .

A hundred years in the Great Dao Tempering Pool might be worth over 20 billion merit points!

Zhou Xuanji nodded and said, “Sovereign, pray do tell . ”

The greater the benefits, the more dangerous the process was .

Beast Sovereign stated calmly, “Bring me a hundred Soul Source Fruits . And if possible, bring the water from the Soul Source Pool!”
