Darren felt helpless.
While he was in the soul state, he couldn't use his bloodline or elixir field. This meant he couldn't improve his strength using regular cultivation.
It would have been different if he was a rule cultivator. As long as his soul kept getting stronger and he could comprehend the universal laws, his strength would improve.
The Blood Witcher Ancestor didn't say a word. It seemed like he didn't know how to solve the problem, either.
"Alas." Finally, he shook his head and said, "If that's the case, there's only one way left. I'll let Lord Starry Sword know and ask him to take you away."
"How will he do that?" Darren asked, confused.
"Since his strength is closer to that of a deputy god, he isn't afraid of those two powerful creatures. He can get you out of the tomb directly."
"Wow! He's indeed very powerful!" Upon hearing how strong Lord Starry Sword was, he felt his heart skip a beat. No wonder everyone in the Primitive Wilderness was afraid of him.
Nonetheless, he couldn't stamp down the worry that gripped him. Would Lord Starry Sword really get him out?
"I guess he might not take me away," Darren said.
"It's not up to him to decide. I'll inform the Ancestral Land directly, so just wait patiently," the Blood Witcher Ancestor comforted.
"Well, everything depends on you now."
Meanwhile, in the Cliff of Ten Thousand Souls in the abyss
Silver eyes flashed like flickering lights. The Rule Soul Avatar seized every moment to comprehend the universal laws.
A boy with black eyes and a dull expression on his face sat beside him. He didn't dare disturb the Rule Soul Avatar during his cultivation.
Suddenly, the Rule Soul Avatar sensed someone enter the cave.
He took a deep breath and pulled himself out of his silver eyes state.
"What brings you here?"
"Seven hundred years have already passed. I came here to check on the son of Supreme God Braxton. I also came here to see you." It was Jenifer.
Time moved differently inside the abyss compared to that in the outside world. Hence, the Rule Soul Avatar had been cultivating for seven hundred years without his notice.
"He has a name. It's Donovan." He had given this name to the boy. In fact, this boy reminded him of another boy he knew.
"That's not a bad name." Jenifer smiled.
"I'll be leaving for a while. Please take care of him for me until I come back," the Rule Soul Avatar said.
"What? What are you going to do? Why not continue cultivating here?" Jenifer was surprised to hear this.
"I have to break through the bottleneck," the Rule Soul Avatar replied coldly.
Jenifer's eyes widened even more. "You're planning to move up to the Celestial God Realm?"
The Rule Soul Avatar nodded his head in admission.
When Jenifer heard the confirmation, her heart almost dropped. When he first started out, "Darren" was already at the top level of the Star God Realm. In seven hundred years, he was about to reach the Celestial God Realm! It was unbelievable!
She remembered how she spent over two million years conquering many restrictions to get to the Celestial God Realm. And she only achieved it through her father's help.
Yet here "Darren" was. It only took him seven hundred years to achieve it. This was indeed an unimaginable feat. Perhaps only Supreme God Braxton could do the same thing.
"I can't believe that there's actually a genius like you that exists in this world. You're truly incomparable."
The Rule Soul Avatar remained silent at that. Eventually, he stood up and headed out of the cave.
"Hey, you can't leave just like that." Jenifer called after him.
"Why not?" the Rule Soul Avatar asked lightly.
"Because it's dangerous outside. And once you leave this place, this cave won't belong to you anymore. You'll have to fight the next time you want the cave back."
"That's alright." It was obvious that the Rule Soul Avatar was determined to go. He had been practicing for hundreds of years already, and he had been stuck in the bottleneck for over ten years. He had to get through it somehow. He had been thinking about this for a long time, and he had finally reached a conclusion. The laws he had learned had to be honed through actual combats. This was the only way to advance to the higher levels. Once he did that, he could move on to the Celestial God Realm.
To do that, he had to leave.
"No! You can't leave! Humph!" She shook her head obstinately.
