Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao-Chapter 244: Ultimate Soul Symbiosis: Undercurrents

This now brought about the final and last change to the Soul Binding Seal Technique, which Arthur has named.

"Ultimate Soul Symbiosis."

Asides from receiving the nourishment from the strand of Soul Power from the Soul Gem Arthur uses the Soul Gem to extract the memories, knowledge, experience and even their comprehension and understanding of Martial Arts Technique.

It would be as though he was the one who learnt the techniques himself.

This last function of the new Soul Binding Seal Technique is known only to him. Even Cora could not detect the feedback of all her knowledge and memories being extracted.

The Soul Gem was too powerful and unless she was in a cultivation realm where her power could shake multiple universes then she could say goodbye to sensing that part already.

Because of this Arthur had learnt and mastered all that Cora knew. All her knowledge and experience in Alchemy has been mastered by Arthur.

Now, as long as his strength can allow him, it would be a piece of cake to refine Immortal Grade Pills and he would make even better ones due to his nigh unlimited soul power.

When Cora received the first feedback and obtained such pure soul power that she never felt before. One could say that she was beyond shocked.

The fact that Arthur could modify her Technique was already shocking enough but receiving such pure nourishment to her soul was like a dream come true.

With this, she was rapidly recovering her true strength and in a short while she was close to recovering her cultivation at the Nascent Soul Realm which could be said to be at the top of this mortal world.

Arthur was happy to see this.

But to Arthur, this wasn't the best part.

The best part was that he had found out this new function was able to greatly accelerate his mastery of the Nine Heavens Soul Technique.

Within a short amount of time he had already mastered the Fourth Stage and this was without him deliberately cultivating it.

Hence, his control over his soul power was growing passively at this point.

Which means he could wholeheartedly focus on increasing his cultivation realm and there would be no instability in his foundations whatsoever.

'I wonder if I can use the technique on Suo Hao?' Arthur thought but shook his head at that.

Maybe it could work and might even extend the life of Suo Hao's remnant spirit.

'No, it definitely will. Hmm, this gives me an idea. But it will have to wait until I return from the Secret Realm.'

'Now I need to prepare for the Grand Martial Arts Tournament.'

With that, Arthur went into secluded cultivation, he didn't even meet Anastasia before shutting his doors and announced his seclusion.

After hearing that the Prince had gone into seclusion the preparations for the Grand Martial Arts Tournament became even more heated.

Many known and unknown geniuses were each training with the intent to make it to the top 300 and enter the Martial Emperor Secret Realm to achieve the best breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Realm.

At this time, a certain undercurrent began to brew underneath the capital. Secret Meetings were held and schemes were made.

Meanwhile, unknown to many, most of these so-called hidden meetings were not so hidden before the Jade Maiden Palace.

While the whole situation looked like the calm before the storm, an explosion news hit the continent.

The Crown Prince of a certain Kingdom was assassinated and all of their prisoners were released and escaped before their guards could react.

Although no one knows the details of what happened, the king's furious search for a certain figure brought about a long forgotten history of an old legend.

"The Nightwalkers."

"You heard it too?"

"Yeah, I never thought I would hear that name again after a very long time. This time things will get more interesting."

"Indeed. Who could have thought this name will resound again after fading into obscurity many years ago?"

After a while even this news died down and on exploding news after another spread to all the nations of the Southern Continent.

Geniuses were beginning to showcase themselves and a few had already been revealed to have forged a Nine Star Foundation and have shown a combat power that was stronger than weaker Martial Emperors.

Excitement filed the air and many looked forward to the Grand Martial Arts Tournament with even more fervency.

But after a while many of these explosive news died down and the whole continent experienced a period of calmness.

It was 'The calm before the storm'.

Even an ordinary Martial Artist could sense that something was not quite normal. Because of this many became anxious.

It was at this time that a secret force began to widely recruit these unaffiliated martial artists and cultivators in the dark.

With their tempting offer they were able to take in a majority of itinerant and non-affiliated cultivators all over the continent.

The whole thing was so secretive that almost no one noticed except a few with keen sense who could tell that there was a figure moving in the dark, but they couldn't investigate further and left it to focus on other matters.

It was at this point in time that the rewards for the top 500 of the Grand Martial Arts Tournament was announced.

When many heard they were beyond shocked.

"Such generous rewards!"

"That's right, if that's what the top twenty would receive then I can't even imagine what the top ten would be rewarded with."

"Yeah, but why didn't they release any information for the reward of the top ten?"

"Beats me, who knows what those big shots are thinking. It doesn't concern us small folks anyway."

"You're wrong, haven't you heard of the new bet set up my the Heaven Sage Pavilion?"

"A bet?"

"Yeah a bet! You can bet on the top scorers for this Grand Tournament and if you bet right on who would win you can make a fortune that will last a lifetime!"

When the other fellows heard they were first surprised and then excited as their imaginations ran will with what would happen if they suddenly struck it rich.

These and many more are just a glimpse to the changes that the coming Grand Martial Arts Tournament had brought.

But there was still more to come.
