Chapter 990
byAfter absorbing these divine soul energies, Yang Kai’s own understanding of the Saint Realm had reached an incredible level, and his control over his own power was also much more proficient than before.
The benefits were far more than that. Because every time he devoured someone else’s divine soul energy, it would more or less increase Yang Kai’s spiritual awareness strength and enhance his own spiritual awareness power. Although the increase was small each time, under the accumulation of sand into a tower, this increase also made his divine soul several times stronger than that of martial artists of the same level.
The ocean of flames formed by the condensation of spiritual awareness also seemed to have become more intense and surging because of this.
Yang Kai devoured the last few remaining masses of soul energy.
However, when devouring one of the masses of soul energy, his expression suddenly became strange, and he quickly stopped his actions and stared blankly.
In front of his soul spirit body, a not very powerful mass of soul energy was suspended. It was even weaker than the others, only at the level of the Transcendent Third Realm.
This was left behind by the map master named Wusuo after his death！
Yang Kai understood in his heart because at that time he had personally seen Wusuo explode into a blood mist in front of him, with no bones left. And at that time, in the entire battleship power room, only Wusuo was at the Transcendent Realm level, and everyone else was at the Saint Stage.
The mass of soul energy left behind by Wusuo after his death seemed somewhat different.
It was indeed only at the level of the Transcendent Third Realm, a little weaker than the others, but there was also something else hidden inside, something different.
Yang Kai condensed his spiritual thoughts and probed there.
Suddenly, he seemed to have left his sea of consciousness and was in a vast starry sky. The stars were dotted around, and those stars emitted charming and dazzling lights. Some exuded vitality, while others were dull with dull luster.
In an instant, his entire person seemed to have become infinitely large, standing upright in the starry sky and overlooking the entire star field.
Any corner. Any star could not escape his eyes.
Those starlights were rotating under the drive of a wonderful force according to an extremely complex rule, making it impossible for him to grasp the trace.
Yang Kai immediately saw a place in the center of the entire star domain.
Some of the stars there seemed particularly bright. Some were as red as burning fireballs, some were as white as frost-covered, and on some stars, the wind energy condensed into essence and turned into sky-reaching wind dragons. There were also stars like an ancient tree…
The Chaotic Abyss！
Yang Kai was shocked.
He immediately realized that the unusual starry sky he saw was exactly the Chaotic Abyss where he had been lost and couldn’t find a way out before. The dazzling and energy-surging stars, he was too familiar with them.
The first stop he came to in the star domain was the Chaotic Abyss. He had long remembered the appearance of those stars in his mind and engraved them in the depths of his soul. They were no different from what he saw in front of him.
It was just shrunk countless times.
There was actually a star map hidden in Wusuo’s soul energy.
And it was the star map of the entire Hengluo Star Domain！
Yang Kai was dumbfounded and didn’t know why this was the case.
Just as his spiritual thought was lingering in the star map and observing secretly, the sea water in his seemed to be evaporated and the water level dropped rap. The power of his spiritual sense was lost at an incredible speed.
A tearing pain spread from his sea of consciousness to his whole body. In great alarm, Yang Kai quickly withdrew his spiritual thoughts and only then discovered the changes in his sea of consciousness.
In this short period of time, nearly half of the spiritual power in his sea of consciousness had actually been consumed all at once.
That tearing pain was a sign of excessive consumption of spiritual power, and it seemed to have some connection with his earlier reckless peeping of the mysteries of that star map without knowing its “depth!”
Yang Kai took a deep breath, not daring to act rashly anymore, and quickly escaped with his mind.
His consciousness returned to his body. When the cold wind blew, his whole body was icy cold. His clothes were all soaked with sweat, his whole body’s flesh and blood were tense, and his body trembled slightly.
Shen Tu was sitting aside, looking at him in stunned amazement.
Seeing his appearance as if facing a formidable enemy and in agony, he couldn’t help but persuade, “Yang Kai, take it easy, there’s no need to rush. After all, that is a restriction imposed by a Saint King Realm powerhouse, and you won’t be able to unlock it for a while.
He clearly thought that Yang Kai was the restriction left by Lv Guichen and that was why he was in such a sorry state.
“I know, leave me alone.” Yang Kai casually responded, quietly took out a Saint Pill that replenished spiritual power from the Demon God Secret Manual and stuffed it into his mouth. While adjusting his breath to restore his spiritual power, he began to think.
According to what Shen Tu said before, Uso is one of the top three mapmakers in the Purple Star power, so he is qualified to sit in the Purple Star’s warship, responsible for guiding the warship’s forward direction and repairing and modifying the star map.
Such a top mapmaker must have his own unique insights into the study of the star field. In addition to spending a small amount of time on cultivation in his life, the rest of the time must be spent on studying the star map.
But this simply cannot explain why the star map can still exist after the purification power of the Soul Annihilation Golden Light.
The Soul Annihilation Golden Light can erase all the memories and life experiences of a warrior before his death, and what is left is pure energy.
This is also the reason why Yang Kai has always been able to obtain only others’ insights into the Heavenly Dao and martial arts, but not the secret manuals of their cultivation methods.
The knowledge of the star map can be regarded as the field that Uso in. Logically speaking, it should be purified.
But it is still intact and preserved.
This phenomenon is very strange and has never happened before.
After thinking about it, Yang Kai suddenly thought of a possibility.
——The preserved star map is not the knowledge that Uso studied and learned by himself, but that he also had a fortuitous encounter and somehow incorporated this star map somewhere.
It does not belong to Uso, so it was not purified. It is of a higher grade than the World Annihilation Demon Eye！
Only this possibility can explain the current situation.
The more Yang Kai thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes again, looked at Shentu, and said, “Let me ask you something.”
“What？” Shentu turned his head and looked at him.
“How much do you know about that mapmaker named Uso？”
“Why are you suddenly asking about him？” Shentu’s expression was strange. “He seems to be dead. I didn’t even see him here. What, did you know him before？”
“I don’t know him. I’m just curious.”
Shentu chuckled. “He’s not a beauty. I don’t know much about him. But Uso is at least a top-level mapmaker, so I also know some things about him. Well, it is said that this person originally came from a small force. His family declined, and he didn’t have any outstanding talent in cultivation. He lived a mediocre life. It was not until he was nearly two hundred years old that he cultivated to the Transcendent Realm. Two hundred years old to reach the Transcendent Realm, what a waste…”
Shentu knew a lot and started chatting non-stop as soon as he opened his mouth.
Yang Kai didn’t interrupt him either. Listening to those unnutritious pieces of information, his expression was calm.
“By the way, his becoming a mapmaker is quite legendary. Before reaching the Transcendent Realm, he was still a nobody. But after being promoted to the Transcendent Realm, he suddenly shone with amazing light in the field of star maps. The star maps he engraved were all very accurate and could avoid many potential dangers. The place where he was born was on a continent of Purple Star. After becoming famous, he was recruited by Purple Star.”
“He only became a mapmaker after reaching the Transcendent Realm？” Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly.
“Well, isn’t it strange？ Some people have also inquired about this point, but they couldn’t find out much information. However, basically everyone thinks that there should be a very powerful mapmaker who is teaching Uso in secret. His cultivation didn’t improve quickly before, and it must be because he was delayed by learning star maps. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have grown to the level of a top mapmaker in such a short time. The profession of mapmaker is too rare, and it takes too much energy and time to cultivate. Every large force in the star field has its own mapmaker training institution, but among those trained mapmakers, the ones who can be of great use are still very few.” Shen Tu smiled and explained： “If you ask a mapmaker to engrave a star map from one star to a neighboring star, each of them can do it. But once the distance is pulled away, those mapmakers are useless, and the star maps they engrave simply cannot provide a safe and accurate route.”
“I see. You cultivate.” Yang Kai got the information he needed and didn’t plan to chat with him anymore, so he quickly closed his eyes again.
“Hey, you haven’t told me why you inquired about Uso’s news？ Could it be that you want to become a mapmaker？” Shen Tu said to himself and laughed loudly： “I advise you to give up this idea. Without decades or even hundreds of years of immersion and research on the star field, you simply can’t do it. What a mapmaker needs to master is too complicated.”
Yang Kai ignored him, and Shen Tu felt very bored. Immediately, he closed his mouth and silently circulated his profound energy.
Yang Kai’s spiritual soul and body once again appeared in the Sea of Consciousness. After some communication with Shen Tu, he had basically confirmed his previous speculation.
Uso had indeed become a cartographer suddenly because of an adventure, and that adventure was the star map hidden in his spiritual soul.
With such a star map, anyone could become a cartographer！
The reason why he had only shone after advancing to the Transcendent Realm was probably because the Divine Consciousness power required to pry into the mysteries of this star map was too enormous. It was simply impossible to detect without reaching the Transcendent Realm.
Yang Kai had a deep understanding of this！
Just now, he had only investigated for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, and his Divine Consciousness power had already been consumed by more than half. If it were a martial artist like Uso to investigate, at most, it would only be half a cup of tea before he would exhaust his strength and die.
Regarding the profession of cartographer, he didn’t have too many thoughts. However, regarding the structure of the Star Field and the distribution of those stars, he was still very interested.
In the Star Field, there were many, many potential dangers. Even Saint King Realm powerhouses had to flee in the face of those dangers. Cartographers were a group of people who could detect and avoid these dangers in a timely manner or even in advance.
If he could fuse such a star map into himself, Yang Kai felt that he would never have to fear getting lost in the Star Field again.
He had suffered a great loss in the Chaotic Abyss and had always been brooding over it. Therefore, he decided to refine this star map. This adventure that originally belonged to Uso had now fallen into his hands, and he naturally wouldn’t let it go.
