Chapter 215: Soul Formation

Just then, Nie Li suddenly spotted a second figure — it was Xiao Ning'er.

Ning'er was also sitting in quiet meditation, and her Soul Sea seemed to have connected with Nie Li's.

Next came Du Ze's, then Lu Piao's, then Duan Jian's. After a short while, Nie Li sensed that his Soul Sea had become tightly linked with the Soul Seas of all ten others. He realized he could draw upon the Soul Power in their Soul Seas, and also distribute his own Soul Power to the rest.

This mysterious and wondrous state left Nie Li astonished. Even in his previous life, he had never encountered a treasure like this.

Could this Heavenly Meteor Divine Thunder Sword really have such a miraculous effect — linking everyone's Soul Seas together?

While Nie Li was marveling at the strange transformation of the Soul Seas, the others had also begun to notice subtle changes.

Ye Ziyun, Xiao Ning'er, and the rest discovered that their Soul Seas had developed fine, web-like patterns spreading across their surfaces. They all felt as though their individual Soul Seas had been absorbed into a vastly greater Soul Sea, and the amount of Soul Power they could draw upon had suddenly increased tenfold — a fact that left them barely able to believe it.

They focused their attention on their Soul Seas. The web-like patterns within looked like some kind of mysterious Runic Pattern.

Nie Li was able to sense everyone's Soul Sea, and he noticed that the Runic Pattern on each person's Soul Sea was slightly different, as though together they formed a strange and intricate formation. A measure of understanding dawned on him: this mysterious Runic Pattern formation had connected all eleven of their Soul Seas.

When souls resonated with one another, it produced some truly extraordinary effects.

Even if they were far apart, so long as they existed in the same dimension, they could sense each other's presence. If one of them fell into danger, the others would know immediately. And if they were in the same dimension and someone's Soul Sea underwent an advancement, the Soul Power within would communicate and harmonize, raising the others' Soul Power to a higher level as well.

Eleven people, bound into a single whole. If all eleven were close together when a battle erupted, any one of them could wield more than ten times the Soul Power of their own Soul Sea — though, naturally, the consumption of Soul Power would also be over ten times as great.

Nie Li had never imagined that the Heavenly Meteor Divine Thunder Sword would trigger such a wondrous effect.

Although the eleven formed a single entity, Nie Li himself was the core — because he was the central point of this mysterious Soul Formation. If Nie Li died, the formation would be broken. Nie Li could also sever the connection with any individual at will. Furthermore, he could freely mobilize anyone's power. The others, however, had to channel any power usage through Nie Li as the hub.

What an astonishing secret art!

Nie Li thought to himself in shock: the person who created this secret art must have been an incredibly powerful being whose understanding of the Soul Sea had reached the absolute pinnacle.

It was just a pity that once the Soul Formation was established, no additional members could be joined unless the entire formation was thoroughly dismantled.

At that moment, Nie Li sensed something else. The Force of Laws within his body was slowly transforming the Soul Power of the others. The Force of Laws acted like a seed, taking root and sprouting within each person's Soul Sea. Over time, Nie Li's Force of Laws would gradually influence the others' Soul Seas, helping them swiftly enter the realm of Black Gold.

Among the eleven, if even one person grew stronger, the rest would also see a dramatic increase in their power. The speed of their cultivation would reach levels that were truly beyond imagination.

Ye Ziyun, Xiao Ning'er, and the others opened their eyes one after another.

"Nie Li, did you feel it? Something changed in our Soul Seas." Ye Ziyun turned to Nie Li and asked. There was deep confusion in her heart.

Apart from Nie Li, none of the others yet understood what had happened to their Soul Seas.

"It's nothing bad," Nie Li said with a smile. "Our Soul Seas have formed a Soul Formation." He then explained the formation's functions and effects to everyone.

The others were stunned. They had never expected anything so miraculous to happen — that they could draw upon the Soul Power in each other's Soul Seas? It was almost too incredible.

"This is actually quite good," Du Ze murmured thoughtfully. "At the very least, in a fight, every one of us will be far stronger than before."

"But the drain on Soul Power will be far greater too. In battle, we should use as few Soul Power–consuming techniques as possible." Nie Li considered for a moment — techniques like Light-Dark Elemental Burst should be used sparingly. Gravity Field and Thunder Strike, on the other hand, should be fine.

"Haha, from now on I never have to worry about you guys leaving me behind in cultivation!" The happiest of all was Lu Piao. As the laziest one, the first thing he noticed was that he could grow strong without putting in much effort.

"The cultivation method you practice means your power will increase rapidly even without much effort. But if you get too lazy and drag everyone else down, I'll have no choice but to remove you from the Soul Formation," Nie Li sighed, shaking his head.

"Don't do that, Nie Li! That's way too unfaithful!" Lu Piao's face immediately crumpled.

"That's up to you," Nie Li shrugged.

Lu Piao deflated like an eggplant hit by frost. Seeing his expression, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
