Unable to Cultivate, I Can Only Raise Soul Pets Chapter 505

505 Cloud Heavenly Court Plan

The rapid clash between the Magnetic Sword and the small caterpillar soon reached its conclusion.

First to be overcome was Bear Treasure, with the little caterpillar following shortly after. The culmination of the engagement saw a hundred mechanical swords meld into the Magnetic Sword, transforming into a colossal blade that pierced the heavens, launching both the little caterpillar and Bear Treasure through the air.

As an initial trial, the exerted power proved sufficient.

Naturally, their full potential was not unleashed.

“Ssss!” The little caterpillar scurried over, indignantly scolding the Magnetic Sword.

‘That was a ambush! It’s simply not right!’

The little caterpillar had undergone a transformation since its previous state.

Following three years of secluded training and two subsequent years of dedicated cultivation, it no longer bore the simple appearance of a bug.

Yet, remnants of its insectoid nature persisted on its rounded tail.

A path remained for it to fully evolve into a True Dragon.

Upon emerging from its seclusion, Wang Che initiated the cultivation of the Five Elements Soul Pill, also known as the Five Elements Golden Core, for the creature.

The process of solidifying soul essence into a soul pill is inherently protracted.

Over the preceding two years, the little caterpillar had only managed to condense its most proficient fire soul essence into a single soul pill.

Pursuing this path of cultivation, even if it were to commence the Five Elements Profound Clarity Era Record immediately, achieving a minor success would only be recognized upon the successful cultivation of all Five Elements Soul Pills.

Upon the formation of the Five Elements Soul Nascent, it would be deemed to have attained Greater Mastery.

At that juncture, five distinctively colored Soul Nascent little caterpillars would emerge, each wielding unique powers. With a mere flick of their tails, they would be capable of manipulating the fundamental forces of the universe.

Wang Che projected that the culmination of the Five Elements Soul Pill would require approximately twenty to thirty years on the Black Jade Star.

The successful formation of the Five Elements Soul Nascent might be achievable within sixty to eighty years. By then, its cultivation would be nearing a million years, and the Black Jade Star would be nearing depletion.

“Ssss...

” The Magnetic Sword vibrated, emitting a conspicuously proud sizzling sound.

‘Wang Che instructed me to do it!’

The little caterpillar immediately directed its gaze towards Wang Che.

“This maneuver is not classified as an ambush,” Wang Che clarified. “Its purpose was to assess your capacity for improvising in unpredictable situations. Consider this: how many times have you met an inexplicable demise within Little Firefly’s Divine Will Space? Your practical resilience has seen minimal improvement. Now that the Magnetic Sword’s Myriad Sword System is executed with greater familiarity, its deployed mechanical swords can execute silent, surprise attacks from various angles. This exercise is also intended to enhance your ability to survive longer within the Divine Will Space.”

“Reflect upon it. Is that not the case?”

The little caterpillar contemplated, finding merit in the explanation. It chirped towards Wang Che.

Wang Che approached and gently stroked the little caterpillar's head.

“A month has elapsed since the four of you vanquished a few minor adversaries in the Blood Sea Demon Prison. Have you given thought to the implications of that encounter?”

“As the leader of the group, are there any shortcomings concerning the primary damage output of your team?”

“Ssss?” The little caterpillar let out a questioning hiss.

What shortcomings?

“Your current strength is insufficient,” Wang Che stated.

“...

” The little caterpillar.

“You still possess numerous vulnerabilities,” Wang Che continued. “For instance, consider the Magnetic Sword’s Dragon Slaying Talisman. Observe that once the mechanical swords are deployed, I have not yet instructed Bear Treasure to inscribe the Dragon Slaying Talisman upon them. If a hundred swords were imbued with the Dragon Slaying Talisman, do you envision yourself capable of defeating the Magnetic Sword in subsequent encounters?”

The little caterpillar appeared to visualize this scenario, and its tail quivered involuntarily.

Such an outcome was simply unacceptable!

“The Black Jade Star already hosts well over one hundred thousand soul beasts. However, the considerable energy of the Black Jade Star, coupled with their inherent extraordinary qualities, has led to exceptionally high cultivation levels. Their constant silent cultivation means their actual combat prowess might not necessarily surpass yours. You have demonstrated considerable power during your extensive travels across the Black Jade Star over the past two years.”

“Yet, within the confines of the Divine Will Space, you are consistently overwhelmed. Ponder this: why do you falter against your historical adversary in the Worm Breaking Through the Heavens?”

“It is due to your glaring weaknesses,” Wang Che explained with gravity. “True dragons are devoid of inherent weaknesses. The Dragon Slaying Talisman is only effective against common dragons. Your fear indicates that you are currently merely an ordinary dragon, not even truly qualifying as one.”

“Consequently, your next phase necessitates specialized training...

”

“Ssss?” The little caterpillar felt a sense of understanding dawn upon it.

How would this specialized training be conducted?

The Black Jade Star... offered no suitable opponents for it!

“It’s quite straightforward. Since you’re wary of the Dragon Slaying Talisman, you simply need to endure its attack,” Wang Che explained. “Once your body develops immunity, the Dragon Slaying Talisman won’t pose any threat, will it?”

The little caterpillar bobbed its head in agreement.

“Excellent!” Wang Che affirmed. “For now, I’m only gathering the components for the Dragon Slaying Talisman, and they are a bit scarce. Later, when you train with Bear Treasure, let it sustain a minor injury to bleed a little. I’ll have Bear Treasure craft more Dragon Slaying Talismans, then have the Magnetic Sword and Bear Treasure engage in combat. You all can use this as advanced training.”

“After this special training regime, you might just be capable of defeating your adversaries in the Worm Breaking Through the Heavens event. Following the battles, you might even acquire some valuable rewards! Once you lead your three younger brethren to conquer the Blood Sea Demon Prison, you will undoubtedly be the undisputed boss in their eyes!”

“Ssss!” the little caterpillar chirped excitedly.

What a brilliant plan!

Bear Treasure, meanwhile, scratched its head, finding the situation somewhat peculiar.

( ⌕′ ⌕ )

“Yes, indeed!” Wang Che patted the little caterpillar’s head reassuringly.

It was an unavoidable situation. The dragons native to the Black Jade Star seemed to mature at an incredibly slow pace. Any Dragon Slaying Talismans fashioned from their materials would likely prove ineffective.

The Mustard Mountain Dragon was an exception, but Wang Che had already attended to it a year prior.

That particular dragon had just attained a hundred thousand years of cultivation. Extracting materials from it now could jeopardize its hard-earned progress.

With the little caterpillar feasting so lavishly every day, it was necessary to draw a bit of its blood to ensure these youngsters didn’t become overly complacent and lazy.

“Ah, yes, there’s another matter of paramount importance!” Wang Che declared with utmost seriousness. “The Black Jade Star is vast, and while you possess teleportation abilities now, you cannot ferry your younger brethren and other soul beast cubs across the entire Black Jade Star.”

“Do you aspire to command a larger legion of soul beasts?”

“ Ssss!” the little caterpillar exclaimed once more.

‘Yes, yes, absolutely!’

A true leader never objects to expanding their subordinate ranks!

Furthermore, the soul beast cubs on the Black Jade Star were remarkably docile and lacked significant strength. This presented a perfect opportunity for it to experience the satisfaction of being a commanding figure!

“Magnificent,” Wang Che nodded approvingly. “However, given the immense size of the Black Jade Star, if you intend to lead such a multitude of soul beast cubs, you and your subordinates will need to frequently traverse the five major domains and the diverse, intricate terrains found across the Black Jade Star.”

“Your current subordinates are ill-equipped for this. Among the soul skills possessed by the Sky God Dragon, there exists a group spatial teleportation ability, but it is rather cumbersome to utilize frequently, especially since you haven’t yet reached the hundred-thousand-year mark.”

“ consequently, I have devised a set of blueprints for a spatial teleportation array that can be erected at various strategic points throughout the Black Jade Star.”

“Our current impediment is the scarcity of a rare spatial ore material. This material is absent from the Black Jade Star. Moreover, you are the sole soul beast possessing potent spatial abilities. Thus, you are uniquely positioned to generate the very materials needed for spatial teleportation!”

“How does that sound? Are you thrilled?”

The little caterpillar vibrated its tail against the ground with palpable excitement.

“Splendid!” Wang Che beamed. “The process of creating these materials is remarkably simple. Whenever you find yourself with free time, venture to the soul crystal mines. Utilize the divine power of the Sky God to infuse these mines. It would be even more beneficial if you were to shed a bit more blood. Within a few years, with the rapid growth rate of the Black Jade Star, these mines will spontaneously yield specialized spatial crystals.”

“At that juncture, we shall construct a grand teleportation network across the Black Jade Star, enabling the soul beast cubs from all five regions to enlist under your banner.”

The little caterpillar's anticipation surged, finding Wang Che's proposal exceptionally appealing.

The mere thought of the Black Jade Star's soul beast cubs hailing it as their leader filled the little caterpillar with jubilant excitement.

Wang Che offered a nod of approval.

Regrettably, spatial resources were indeed infrequent. Wang Che could procure certain soul plants imbued with spatial energy, which were already thriving in his spiritual fields.

However, obtaining ores, metals, and other forms of spatial materials proved considerably more challenging.

He was compelled to enlist the assistance of his soul beasts in their creation.

With the Black Jade Star's astonishingly swift development and the little caterpillar's contribution, a substantial quantity of spatial resources should materialize in no time.

Equipped with a functioning teleportation array, the transportation of materials for constructing the Cloud Heavenly Court Mothership would cease to be an obstacle.

“Off you go!” Wang Che encouraged, giving the little caterpillar a gentle nudge. “Continue your intensive training with the Magnetic Sword. Oh, and one more thing: the little skeleton possesses a remarkably resilient body. It can directly affix the Dragon Slaying Talisman and even absorb dragon blood, which has a peculiar beneficial effect on dragons. Incorporate it into your special training regimen.”

The little caterpillar departed obediently.

Subsequently, Wang Che commenced instructing Bear Treasure in the intricacies of profound spirit talismans and Dao talismans.

Under Wang Che’s tutelage, Bear Treasure had already commenced its talisman-drawing practice prior to the King’s Cup. Over the ensuing years, its progress had been unwavering, with its level steadily ascending.

It possessed an immaculate command over its physical form and exhibited exceptional aptitude for talisman creation.

Following this, Wang Che located the Firefly Dream Spirit, which was then overseeing the vicinity of the Black Jade Star. He had previously encountered the Ancient Fiend and the Divine Light Whale and presented them with his ambitious vision for the creation of the Heavenly Court Mothership.

“This mothership you envision, is it truly as formidable as you claim? There are already thousands of soul beasts inhabiting the Black Jade Star.”

“Within a few decades, the population of fourth-generation soul beasts alone will number in the tens of thousands.”

“Can a mere mothership truly accommodate such a vast multitude of soul beasts?”

“Even if the Sky God Dragon were to descend, it couldn't possibly transport so many soul beasts simultaneously, could it?”

...

The Ancient Fiend harbored reservations regarding Wang Che’s proposal.

They were content with the current state of affairs, where humans remained absent from the Black Jade Star.

As the population of soul beasts on the Black Jade Star burgeoned, guided by their second and third-generation brethren, the newly born cubs were indoctrinated from birth. Their burgeoning intelligence led them to revere the two Beast Gods, and with Wang Che’s cultivation guidance, the power of faith naturally flowed towards them without end.

“No, if your Human Federation possessed such advanced technology…” the Divine Light Whale interjected more pointedly, “You would not have faced near extinction from those foreign races back then, would you… Furthermore, I recall no such advanced technology during the Remote Antiquity Era…”

“Indeed,” Wang Che affirmed. “The Cloud Heavenly Court Mothership functions as a miniature spatial world. If constructed using the resources available on the Black Jade Star, it can indeed facilitate the departure of these soul beasts.”

“It presents absolutely no problem.”

These weren't empty boasts. The technological marvel of the mothership from immortal cultivation civilization was analogous to his own Myriad Treasures Dao Palace or certain spatial immortal artifacts and Dharma treasures, possessing profound and limitless capabilities.

In truth, were it solely a matter of resources, Wang Che might not have been able to forge it from the blueprint alone, as the process would be exceedingly time-consuming.

However, the Myriad Treasures Dao Palace martial soul possessed a sword furnace, enabling him to continuously craft various implements. His primary role would be to allocate time and enlist the assistance of the Divine Light Whale and the Ancient Fiend for assembly and refinement.

The rudimentary version of the mothership did not necessitate undue complexity.

“Very well, state your requirements.” The Divine Light Whale and the Ancient Fiend conveyed their assent.

In the future, the Black Jade Star's resources would inevitably be depleted. At that juncture, regardless of whether they achieved the status of million-year soul beasts or not, they would be compelled to lead these soul beasts to a new home.

It appeared that intervention from the war zone was unlikely, leaving them reliant on their own efforts.

Wang Che gave a slight nod. The plan was formulated; the subsequent phase involved meticulous execution of each step.

The construction process of such a mothership was, in essence, straightforward, requiring only a set of blueprints and a functional core drive.

Originally, the mothership was intended to be powered by the star source.

Now, the version of the mothership could be propelled by the martial soul. By the time of its completion, Wang Che estimated he would be nearing Level 90.

With the Myriad Treasures Dao Palace, even an Essence Soul martial soul could be employed.

Upon reaching Level 90, Wang Che would be poised to embark on a new cultivation journey. Provided his Essence Soul martial soul could successfully cultivate the Primordial Sacred Soul and integrate with it, he would be able to circumvent the established rules of the martial soul world and initiate a fresh path of cultivation.

Subsequently, he convened with the Divine Light Whale, the Ancient Fiend, and the Firefly Dream Spirit to discuss the finer points, and the plan was officially set in motion.

The inaugural step involved the establishment of a teleportation array.

During the first year, Wang Che, accompanied by the little caterpillar, traversed the various resource-rich zones of the Black Jade Star. Employing the power derived from the Sky God Dragon's bloodline, he imbued the diverse mineral veins.

From the second to the third year, under the influence of the Black Jade Star's origin energy, spatial resources progressively materialized. While not abundant, they proved sufficient for the construction of a teleportation array.

In the fourth year, construction commenced on thousands of spatial teleportation arrays across the five major regions of the Black Jade Star, with the little caterpillar assuming responsibility for their upkeep.

Five years into the plan, the little skeleton's physique underwent an advancement, officially commencing its cultivation of the Divine Tomb Hell Suppression Technique. Its cultivation base surpassed fifty thousand years, and it began to grasp the temporal power inherent in its crown. While the potency wasn't overwhelming, several time-aligned soul skills were awakened. Though unable to influence the entirety of Black Jade Star, localized temporal manipulation was sufficient to hasten the maturation of additional resources.

In the sixth year, the little caterpillar achieved a hundred thousand years of cultivation, gaining command over spatial power. It triumphantly completed the Worm Breaking Through the Heavens trial within the Divine Will Space, solidifying the Five Essence Soul Pills. Concurrently, this year saw the little caterpillar bestow a second soul ring upon Wang Che’s Myriad Treasures Dao Palace martial soul, propelling its level to sixty.

By the seventh year, the Magnetic Sword reached a hundred thousand years, also granting Wang Che a second soul ring. A soul pet of this magnitude could bestow a second soul ring upon its Contract Soul Master, shattering the usual cultivation limits. Wang Che’s own martial soul level consequently ascended to seventy.

The ninth year marked Bear Treasure's breakthrough to a hundred thousand years, enabling it to bestow a second soul ring upon Wang Che. This advanced his martial soul level to eighty. Notably, within this same year, among the nascent generation of soul beasts, the Water Demon Beast's cultivation soared past two hundred thousand years. To Wang Che’s considerable surprise, this milestone triggered a Heavenly Tribulation.

The manifestation of a Heavenly Tribulation indicated that Black Jade Star adhered to certain universal laws analogous to those in the martial soul world.

Alternatively, it suggested that such cosmic principles existed independently of planetary scale.

By the tenth year, spatial teleportation arrays were established across every region of Black Jade Star. Under Wang Che’s strategic guidance, the second-generation soul beasts initiated the systematic collection of resources, mobilizing all soul beasts on the planet.

Eleven years saw the Firefly Dream Spirit, a diminutive yet significant companion, also achieve a hundred thousand years of cultivation. It awakened the 'Power of Divine Will,' a potent force, granting its mental strength the capability to encompass any of Black Jade Star’s five major territories. Wherever a Divine Will Space could be manifested, it allowed for the simultaneous training of hundreds, even thousands, of soul beasts. These environments facilitated the deduction and calculation of their future growth potential, enabling the formulation of detailed cultivation strategies. Aided by Wang Che, the Firefly Dream Spirit evolved into an even more formidable beast nurturing prodigy than Wang Che himself.

In that same year, Wang Che’s soul power cultivation crested at level ninety, prompting him to commence the cultivation of a second martial soul.

Twelve years later, following consultations with the Divine Light Whale and the Ancient Fiend, Wang Che engaged in discussions with the second-generation soul beasts, including the Water Demon Beast, and five other soul beasts. They readily expressed their willingness to serve as soul pets for Wang Che's second martial soul, assisting in breaking through limits via soul rings.

Wang Che then embarked on cultivating the Primordial Sacred Soul.

...

Fifteen years into the Cloud Heavenly Court Mothership initiative, Wang Che unveiled the true form of his Myriad Treasures Dao Palace martial soul, which...
