Bai Rouyun was rather interested in this way of cultivating the soul. Still, she also understood that since she currently had no cultivation technique that could assist her with it, then she would have to wait until she transcended the current continent.

She was aware that it would be possible to contact Bai Mulan and ask him for a method, but she was unwilling to do so. Bai Rouyun did not feel herself connected to the Bai family in the Wushi Continent, and she did not wish to ask them for anything.

If she were to receive help from them, then she would be entangled with them in the future, but she had decided that she only wanted Li Moyun as her family.

"Mother," the voice of Xiao Bao sounded in Bai Rouyun's ears, and she could not help but be curious as to what her little treasure wanted to tell her.

"While I do not know much about soul cultivation, I am aware that your soul will never be weak. It is your soul which is connected to the Primal Chaos Pagoda, and only someone with an overwhelming soul will be able to awaken it."

Xiao Bao contemplated for some time before he continued. "I do not understand the different ranks of soul cultivation, but currently, I feel that your soul is even stronger than that man, Bai Mulan, who came from the other continent."

Bai Rouyun was surprised when she heard this. She was unaware that her soul was so strong, and she could not completely understand why. Was it due to her soul merging? It could not be; she had gotten the Primal Chaos Pagoda in her previous life, before she had merged, and thus it had already connected itself to her soul back then.

But her cultivation base had been unstable, and while she had gone through many perilous encounters, she did not think that she was anything extraordinary when it came to Innate Realm, Violet Tiered experts.

Pondering these things, the time went by quickly, and soon the light outside the door had turned dim; the dusk was setting in, and Bai Rouyun slowly brought her mind back.

She placed the scrolls and books back where she had found them, and while she had not gotten any explanation to her current enlightenment situation, she had understood many other things, which were extremely valuable to her.

As she left, she did not notice that a shadow appeared where she had sat just moments before and found the books she had been reading.

The shadow was yet another elder, who seemed rather puzzled. He took a glance at the books she had read, but he did not see anything special about them.

Frowning, he felt as if the woman had gotten an epiphany, her body seemed as if it was shrouded in a specific martial state, but he could not see how these books could have caused such a condition to appear.

Shaking his head, he could not help but mock himself. Was he so bored that he saw rare martial states even when it was a weak cultivator? Even someone at his strength might not reach that martial state, so how could she?

The dusk was turning to night as Bai Rouyun left the library. She had no reason to linger at the institute any longer, and instead, she hurried back to the mansion.

As she returned, she knew that Li Moyun was still not back. However, Little Chu had returned from his trip to the Richu Empire.

When he saw the disappointed look in Bai Rouyun's eyes as she looked around the empty mansion, he could not help but chuckle and shake his head.

He had just felt as if he had gained a family, but she had already been stolen by a big bad wolf.

Realizing that he considered his lord as a big bad wolf, Little Chu could not help but look somewhat embarrassed, and he cleared his throat as he looked away. No one could ever be allowed to know his thoughts.

Bai Rouyun did not notice his queer expression; instead, she sighed, plopped into a soft chair, and called for him.

"Little Chu," she called out, her voice was softer and more melodious than before; even her body seemed as if it had been cleansed in a heavenly spring. Her eyes were clear as the starry sky and could attract anyone who looked into them, men and women alike.

Looking at her like this, Little Chu could not help but frown. What had happened to her while she had been at the institute today?

Bai Rouyun saw the confusion in Little Chu's eyes, and she knew that he, too, had noticed that something was different. Straightening her back, she looked at him with more interest. Maybe he could solve the questions for her.

"Little Chu, today I had a weird experience," she began explaining. "I was in the Gravity Tower, and when I came out, I had many different thoughts about my view on the world. Suddenly, my body became lighter, my mood better, and my mind clearer. It was as if I used to see the world behind a curtain, but now it all feels real and unconcealed. I feel my body has grown much lighter, and more in sync with the heaven and earth essence in the air. What could have happened?"

Little Chu's expression turned to one of surprise when he heard her words, and then a bit of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

"Do you feel as if you are full of boundless strength?" he asked, and Bai Rouyun nodded her head.

"From what you said, it sounds as if you have reached a martial state called the Tiandi State."
