Chapter 174 - World Heart

"Little Lizard, consolidate your strength here first. Your master still has something to do somewhere, so just wait for me here." Jiu Shen stroked the back of Long Meili’s head gently as he looked at her with a smile.

Last time, Jiu Shen could still not refine the World Heart because of his lacking strength, but he now had the qualifications to refine with his Nascent God Realm cultivation.

Long Meili nodded her head at her master. Although she wanted to talk with him some more, she knew that she still had to consolidate her strength in order to eliminate any negative effects brought upon by her breakthrough. If not, her foundation might become shaky which would severely impact her future cultivation. She didn’t want that to happen, so she instantly followed Jiu Shen’s orders with obeisance.

"Master, I’ll wait for your return." Long Meili bowed her head.

Jiu Shen smiled at her before he flew through the skies, leaving behind countless afterimages in the air.

Long Meili glanced at Jiu Shen’s disappearing figure for quite a while before she sat cross-legged on the ground.

"I have to quickly consolidate my strength and await for my master’s return..." She muttered as she closed her eyes to begin her meditation.

"System, where can I find the World Heart of this Spiritual World?" Jiu Shen asked as he stopped his flight. He hovered in the air while waiting for the system’s reply.

- Ding!

- Host, the World Heart is located at the deepest part of the ocean beneath you.

"Beneath me?" Jiu Shen was a bit surprised, but he still glanced at the deep blue ocean beneath him.

The sea waves here were quite large since the ocean wind was particularly fierce and strong.

"In that case, I just have to dive down and search for it..." Jiu Shen said as he dived down to the sea without hesitation.

Splash!

With his current level of cultivation, it was not a problem for him to breathe underwater.

"I didn’t think that it would be harm here..." He muttered as he swam downward like a torpedo. He saw a fair bit of aquatic savage beasts and some of them were even powerful. However, they were still nothing in Jiu Shen’s eyes since he could casually kill them with a mere flick of his fingers.

As Jiu Shen was swimming deeper into the ocean, he felt that the temperature was getting warmer and warmer, and it was also getting darker. Luckily, he was still able to see clearly because of his enhanced vision and also with the help of his spiritual perception

The number of oceanic savage beasts were also becoming fewer, but their strength was definitely a lot stronger compared to those in the shallower parts of the ocean. However, these savage beasts still didn’t dare approach Jiu Shen. They could feel that this human had an unfathomable power that they dreaded him so much after seeing him.

Jiu Shen ignored these savage beasts since he was not here for them, but he had to admit that he was a bit tempted to catch a few to cook for himself. "After refining the World Heart, I’ll capture some of you. By then, I hope that you could just obediently stretch your necks for me." Jiu Shen chuckled in his heart as he increased his speed.

The savage beasts felt alarmed when they saw the peculiar look in Jiu Shen’s expression, and they hurriedly fled in different directions, afraid that this human might harbor bad intentions to them.

One hour later.

This time, Jiu Shen’s vision was significantly reduced and he could only see the five-meter radius around him. Even if he used his spiritual perception, he could only extend his vision by another five meters. Sensing this, he could not help but feel a bit surprised, and he was certain that this was attributed to the mysterious World Heart of the Spirit World.

Just what kind of thing was this World Heart for it to limit his sense of sight despite his Nascent God Realm cultivation level? Jiu Shen was now feeling eager to find out more about this World Heart.

Two hours later.

The water pressure was becoming heavier and Jiu Shen had to circulate his true essence to prevent his blood vessels from bursting apart. Furthermore, his vision was also becoming vague and fuzzy...

Suddenly, Jiu Shen could see something shining with a bright white radiance down below and he could not help but smile excitedly. "Could that thing be the World Heart?"

Even with Jiu Shen’s impaired vision, he could somehow see the light emitted by this object due to the sheer brightness that it exudes.

As Jiu Shen was moving closer, he could now see the silhouette of this object. It looked epileptical and it also had a pure and out of this world aura.

Jiu Shen felt his heart palpitating as he stared at this object.

- Host, this is the World Heart of the Spirit World. Just place your hand on top of it and put a fraction of your soul in it using your spiritual power.

Jiu Shen frowned when he heard the system’s words. Removing a fraction of his soul would decrease the strength of his spiritual power, and he felt quite reluctant to do it. However, when he recalled what he could do after refining the World Heart, Jiu Shen’s hesitation vanished.

After coming closer to the World Heart, he could now sense its dense and pure unadulterated aura. He had never seen anything like this before, so felt fascinated and enamored. He looked at the five-meter tall World Heart for a brief moment before he placed his hands on its surface.

Ha?! It’s sucking my blood?!

- Host, the World Heart is checking your constitution and potential since it would not allow a person with insufficient potential to become its master.

Jiu Shen calmed himself down after hearing the system’s words. He was confident about his potential and if he didn’t have the qualifications to become its owner, then no one else was capable of owning it. After all, he had the Seamless Deity Physique and his physical body was even basked by the God Exterminating Divine Eye’s draconic lightning. Coupled with his experience and comprehension, he even had the potential to exceed the three Celestial Emperors!

Jiu Shen focused his attention on cutting a part of his soul. It wasn’t that hard, but it was a painful process since it involves a cultivator’s soul which was particularly more fragile than other creatures.

As Jiu Shen was separating a fraction of his soul, he felt as if his body and mind were being pierced by millions of needles simultaneously. The excruciating process continued for an hour before Jiu Shen had successfully divided a small portion of his soul.

Throughout the whole process, Jiu Shen’s expression didn’t change, and he only furrowed his eyebrows slightly. "This is nothing compared to the lightning that the God Exterminating Divine Eye brought along with it..." He said in his heart as he placed the fraction of his soul onto the World Heart.

The World had already stopped sucking his blood as well, and right after Jiu Shen branded it with his spiritual power, the pure aura emitted by the World Heart became even denser that it almost made him exclaim.

Right in front of his eyes, the five-meter tall World Heart slowly reduced in size. It became as big as a basin, then it became as big as a football, and then it turned into an egg-sized crystal. Its decrease in size only stopped when it was only an inch in length.

Jiu Shen tried to grab the one-inch crystal, but it embedded itself on his left wrist which made him a bit stunned. Touching it with his right hand, he could now feel a sense of connection with the Spiritual World through this World Heart. "So this is what it feels like to be a Deity... I can even see that Little Lizard through this World Heart in my wrist. Interesting indeed..."

Aside from gaining ownership of the Spiritual World, Jiu Shen could also sense that his spiritual power was further reinforced after the World Heart embedded itself in his left wrist. "Not bad. The fraction of my soul wasn’t wasted. In fact, I have even gained more than what I lost..."

- Ding!

- Congratulations to the Host for successfully refining the World Heart.

After hearing the system’s words, Jiu Shen could not help but smile.
