Chapter 138: Zhou Sect - 138
After being stabbed through the chest by two different swords, the grim reaper's body started to slowly collapse and turn into particles of light. Anna and the dragon king watched it happen silently. Just as about half of the body had been turned into particles of light, a black ball of light shot outwards from the body at a speed that anna and the dragon king were unable to react to.
As it zoomed past their faces and shot into outer space, Anna caught a slight glimpse of it. From that glimpse, she was able to tell what it was.
"That's his soul! His soul is escaping!" She yelled before she broke space and followed it as fast as she could.
The dragon king, who had just comprehended her words, followed behind quickly. Unfortunately, Anna and the soul were so fast that they had disappeared from his view by the time he had reached outer space.
Anna was still following the soul, but it was slightly faster than her, causing it to pull away after a period of time. Eventually, it flew into the sun and Anna could no longer sense it, even after using her divine sense.
"DAM*IT!" She screamed. She had no idea how he had disconnected his soul from his body and managed to flee. She did, however, have a feeling that he would survive and be back.
Anna's feeling was correct. After he had escaped pursuit, Zhou Fan grabbed the grim reaper's soul and looked at it. Although he had come up with the move, this was the first time it had been used. It was also the first time Zhou Fan had seen a soul.
Although it was different from a normal soul since the grim reaper was a being made by Zhou Fan and was closer to being a puppet than being considered a living being, it still was likely to be similar to a normal being's soul if they hadn't gone through the nascent soul stage.
In other words, Zhou Fan was looking at what a soul looked like from someone who was below the nascent soul realm. He estimated that someone who had reached the nascent soul realm had a different looking soul, as well as someone in the soul formation realm.
He didn't plan on testing the technique out himself since it was actually very dangerous and could cause someone to lose an amount of their cultivation, but he assumed that Anna and the dragon king would try to replicate the move.
They would also try to replicate teleportation since it was such a large part of the grim reapers strength in the battle. Along with them replicating moves, they would also have to try and create something.
The best idea would be to create a formation that blocked souls from leaving an area, since they can go through most solid matter, or create a technique that would do the same thing without a formation.
They had plenty of time to do that, however. After all, Zhou Fan had no plan to release the grim reaper until he broke through to the next realm. He didn't know how long it would take, but Jack may have reached the space shattering realm at that time.
Before he did anything else, Zhou Fan created another body for the grim reaper. It was identical to the last one. That was the worst part about the soul escaping technique. The price was destroying your body, and without someone's help, recreating your body with only your soul was nearly impossible.
Without your body, you would lose the harmony between body, mind, and soul, and experience a decrease in power.
Perhaps someone that had chosen the second path when they broke through to nascent soul would have it easier, but since Zhou Fan hadn't chosen it, no one else has had the ability to. After all, they were only following Zhou Fans path. It would take another person like Zhou Fan in order for someone to choose the second path of the soul.
Until then, every cultivator would have their soul, body, and mind together.
Since everything with the grim reaper was finished, Zhou Fan started watching Jack. Right now, he was at a side branch of a place called the Zhou Sect. It was a sect that had a presence in every corner of the Zhou Solar system.
It was under the ownership of each of the rulers and was basically a ruling power of the entire solar system. Its main location was in the Zhou World, but there were thousands on every planet.
Inside the Zhou sect's branch, Jack had accepted a mission. The compensation would be the main currency in the entire solar system. Spirit stones. The mission that Jack accepted was one of the most difficult, ranked at S-rank.
The ranks started from the lowest FFF, to the highest, EX. In order, the ranks were FFF, FF, F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, and EX. FFF-rank missions could be completed by even the weakest cultivator, while Ex-rank missions were missions only the rulers would do. Of course, no EX-rank mission had ever been posted, but it was still a theoretical rank.
Cultivators were ranked based on their strength and their rank decided what missions they could take. S-rank is for cultivators at the 1st - 3rd level of void traversing, SS-rank is for cultivators at the 4th-6th level of void traversing, SSS-rank is for cultivators at the 7th-9th level of void traversing, and EX-rank is for anyone above that.
Jack is at the SS-rank, while the monkey king and the titanosaur were actually at the SSS-rank instead of the EX-rank like Anna and the dragon king.
Even so, there were only three people at the SSS-rank and 100 at the SS-rank. Therefore, Jack was one of the most powerful people in the solar system. Also, you didn't have to join the Zhou Sect to take a mission. You just had to sign up.
After grabbing his mission, Jack left towards the most dangerous place on the water planet.
Chapter 139: Jacks Adventure - 139
100 years ago, a void traversing cultivator from the demon race snuck into the spider king's palace and stole a very important weapon. Since then, he had been hunted down by every single spider race member in the Zhou solar system. Since he had broken the treaty of the hundred planets, even the demon race had no plans to protect him. However, it seemed as if he had disappeared into thin air.
Surprisingly, a sighting was reported just a month ago on the planet Jack was on, causing a mission to be produced at the Zhou Sects branches in the water planet. The mission that Jack had accepted was to capture the demon dead or alive, and return the weapon he stole.
The reason the mission was so highly rated was not only because of the 2nd level void traversing cultivation of the person, but because he was spotted at the lair of the strongest being on the water planet, a 3rd level void traversing squid, who was known to attack anything he saw in his territory. As for why he didn't attack the demon race traitor, nobody knew.
After he had traveled around a fourth of the planet, Jack arrived at a red corral field. The coral field surrounded the squid's entire domain and acted as a warning sign to wanderers. Jack didn't bother with it and passed it quickly, officially entering the squids domain.
Before he had even walked a mile, a giant being was seen in the distance quickly moving towards him. Without a word, Jack took his trident out and readied it. Due to the squid's low strength and Jack's talent, he knew it would be a quick battle. As soon as the squid reached Jack, it shot a blast of water towards him. The blast would have reduced any 1st level void traversing cultivator to a pile of meat, but jack moved to the left and let it go right past him.
A shockwave was caused by the blast, but Jack didn't move an inch. At that moment, Jack took out a formation plate and put some Qi into it before dropping it on the ground. As soon as he did, a barrier extended and covered the area within ten miles.
"Do you think that a formation would give you a chance to defeat me? Prepare to d..." The squid attempted to talk, but a spear of light Qi formed above his head and shot down on him, pinning him to the ground and killing him instantly.
"I can sense your presence. Come out now and I'll kill you quickly." Jack said. Even after he talked, nothing in the area changed.
"Fine." He said before he pointed his finger at a sudden area and shot a thin beam of light Qi towards it. The beam pierced through a rock before a loud shout was heard.
"OUCH!"
Jack swiftly moved to the area behind a rock, only to find a demon with a head full of gray hair rolling on the ground while clutching his shoulder. On his shoulder was a small hole that was burning from the power of light Qi.
"Where is the weapon?" Jack calmly asked.
"I'll die before I tell you!" The demon screamed at him.
Not responding to him, Jack grabbed the old man by the arm and used his free hand to grab the man's wounded shoulder, before he squeezed.
"AHHHHH!" The old demon screamed. Still, he looked like he wouldn't tell Jack a thing.
Sensing his defiance, Jack grabbed his trident and pierced a hole in the old demon's left leg, then his right, and finally, Jack cut off his foot.
"Fine...Fine... I'll tell you." The old man said after enduring Jack's interrogation methods. "Just promise you'll kill me instead of turning me in."
"Agreed." Jack said before letting the old demon down.
"Go to that direction for a mile, then dig down and you'll reach a base. The weapon is there." He said while pointing.
Jack extended his divine sense towards that direction, but saw nothing. Just as he was about to interrogate the demon again, the demon spoke.
"It's hidden by a divine sense blocking formation. Only those at the 5th level of void traversing and above can sense it."
Jack nodded, then chained the old demon to the ground with Light Qi and moved towards the direction the old demon had pointed him in. Just as he had said, there was a small base exactly a mile away and a thousand feet deep, hidden by a formation.
Jack was able to quickly find the weapon, a greatsword that had reached the level of a 5th level void traversing weapon. Despite its power, Jack had no interest in it and returned to the demon after grabbing it. Without any words, Jack used the great sword to decapitate the demon and brought his body back to the Zhou Sect branch.
When he walked into the building and returned the weapon, along with the demon's body, he received a round of applause from the members of the Zhou Sect. The receptionist asked him to stay in town for a couple days and wait for the spider king to personally visit in order to reward him and thank him.
Since he wasn't busy and had no plans, Jack agreed and waited ten days for the spider king to arrive. In that time, news of the grim reaper's defeat had spread and Jack gained even more respect for the rulers of the Zhou World.
Even now, he was excited for the day he could reach their level and bring his race up to new heights. After eating dinner with the spider king and receiving his reward of ten top grade spirit stones, Jack left the planet and headed to the one next to it.
He planned to go around every planet in the Zhou Solar system, and by the time he returned he would be strong enough to be considered a ruler.
After watching the quick journey, Zhou Fan stopped watching Jack and got ready to enter seclusion.
