Chapter 1753 The Mysterious Soul Formula

"Oh, yeah. I heard of him! He seems to be one of the new Spiritual Emperors of the Di Clan. But I don't
think the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief could disguise himself as a member of the Di Clan." Drew also
heard the news that the Di Clan acquired a Spiritual Emperor whose Imperial Soul's potential was at
the medium grade of the Heaven Stage.

"That's why I also thought that it's a bit of a long shot. After all, the Di Clan is the leading force in the
Ethereal Region. No matter how capable the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief is, there's no way that he
could disguise himself right under the noses of the Di Clan. However, I just can't shake the feeling that
this person is hiding something." Quentin's eyes narrowed and expressed his misgivings.

"Well, we can still observe him. Let's find an opportunity to get to him."

"Yes, I am thinking of the same thing. Anyway, I will inform you if anything comes up!" Upon saying
that, Quentin left in a hurry. They had to be careful not to be discovered by other people.

Immediately after, Drew also disappeared from the scene.

Meanwhile, after coming down from the top of the mountain, Rocky went elsewhere before returning to
his lodging. He found a remote and secluded place, where he could enter his Magic Spiritual Space in
peace.

After undergoing the trial in the Imperial Soul Testing Array, he came to realize how important one's
Imperial Soul was. However, since his was directly formed through the fusion of power, he had no
cultivation foundation on this aspect.

For primary-stage and medium-stage Spiritual Emperors, the power of the Imperial Soul wasn't that
evident yet. But as one reached a much higher level, it would also get stronger. Hence, it could directly
aid the Spiritual Emperors in their cultivation, and its full potential could be clearly seen once they got to
the peak stage.



Right now, Rocky was elated that his Imperial Soul had already reached the coveted Heaven Stage.
This meant that in the near future, it would be much easier for him to break through to the peak stage
of the Spiritual Emperor compared to others. Therefore, he felt the need to start cultivating his Imperial
Soul in advance and take it seriously. After all, he was determined to reach the peak stage as soon as
possible.

In the entire continent, the chance of possessing the soul potential at the Heaven Stage was only one
to a million or even lower. In fact, even the Spiritual Emperors of the Shura Race had a hard time
advancing to this point.

However, Rocky was not particularly surprised at the potential of his Imperial Soul. To begin with, his
Imperial Soul was formed through the merging of several powerful and unique forces. Therefore, it was
not a miracle that he was able to possess an Imperial Soul with the potential of the Heaven Stage. In
fact, it was already to be expected.

'I wonder if I can find a skill in the palace for me to cultivate my Imperial Soul…' After thinking for a
while, Rocky made up his mind and disappeared.

The next moment, he entered the palace, intending to find what he could to strengthen his Imperial
Soul.

Then, the guardian immediately showed up at Rocky's side.

"Welcome back, master," the guardian greeted politely.

"Do you know if there is any manual in this palace that I can use to improve my Imperial Soul?" Rocky
wasted no time and asked.

"A manual to cultivate the Imperial Soul? Yes, of course, master," the guardian quickly replied.



"Really? Good! Show it to me." Rocky's eyes lit up, eager to see what it contained.

"I'm afraid I can't get it myself, master. You are the only one who can get a hold of it since it is a
forbidden skill of the Shura Race's royal family. But I must warn you. Once you start cultivating it, it may
take you to the road the leads to evil, and I'm afraid that there is no turning back. That is why the
former master sealed it, and only the inheritor of his power can unseal it again," the guardian explained
and asked again, "Master, are you sure that you want it?"

"Well, it is just reasonable that a huge price must be paid first in order to obtain great power. I am
willing to try any method just so I can break through to the Shura Realm," Rocky said with an
unwavering certainty in his eyes.

"I understand. Then, let me take you there, master."

Afterward, the guardian turned around and proceeded into the depths of the palace while Rocky
followed closely behind.

A moment later, the guardian and Rocky arrived in a certain room. In front of it, they were welcomed by
two powerful souls that emitted a holy light, enveloping a huge book with a dark green light. It turned
out that their light was the one restraining the evil power that was oozing from the book

"Is that the secret manual for the cultivation of the Imperial Soul? It looks very impressive." Rocky
instantly felt the evil power contained in the manual even before he got close to it.

"That's because the skill inscribed in it was created by an evil god. When one cultivates it, he can
absorb the spiritual power of any spirit warrior or spiritual treasure in order to nourish his own Imperial
Soul. However, the more he absorbs, the eviler his Imperial Soul will become. Furthermore, once he
was controlled by the Imperial Soul, he will inevitably become a dreadful demon," the guardian warned.



"I see. It sounds dangerous and interesting at the same time. I've already experienced being a god
before but not a demon. Anyway, I already made up my mind, so it doesn't matter." Rocky smiled
calmly, resolute in using this secret manual for his own gain.

"Master, I just have to repeat. Are you really sure? Won't you need a little more time to think it
through?" Of course, the guardian had to confirm Rocky's decision before it was too late.

"Then, is there anything else besides this one?" Rocky asked straightforwardly.

"Unfortunately, this is the only one here in the palace. If you want to cultivate the Divine Soul, there are
actually plenty of choices. But for the Imperial Soul, this is the only one."

Rocky had heard about the Divine Soul. It was the martial soul that the cultivators at the Shura Realm
refined.

"I see. Then I also have no other choice." As soon as Rocky finished talking with the guardian, he
walked towards the manual in front of him and stared at it intently.

However, the moment he got close to the manual, his spiritual sense was suddenly attacked by a
strong evil power. It was as if it tried to penetrate his body and occupy it.

Seeing this, Rocky immediately stabilized his mind and resisted the invasion of the evil power.

After a while, Rocky gradually felt that the evil power started to fade away. When he was sure that the
threat of the evil power was already gone, he was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

'What an intense and malevolent force! No wonder the guardian sternly warned me about it first.'
Although he was still shaking a bit due to the fear that he experienced just now, Rocky had no choice
but to get closer to the manual. At the same time, he gathered his spiritual power in his hands and
released it towards the two souls that were tightly suppressing the manual.



Soon enough, the souls dissipated and vanished without a trace. Finally, they were released from their
mission.

At this moment, the holy power enveloping the huge book also disappeared. Immediately after, the
huge book emitted a strange aura that attracted and tempted everyone around it. With it, people would
want to go forward, open it, and read it.

Perhaps for other spirit warriors, this kind of temptation would be irresistible, but for Rocky, he had no
problem resisting it.

However, Rocky still reached out and grabbed the huge book. Then, it suddenly turned into a dark
green flame that instantly drilled into Rocky's palm, merging with his body.

Afterward, in Rocky's mind, a set of methods to cultivate the Imperial Soul emerged—the Mysterious
Soul Formula. It was made up of two major parts—the internal and external cultivation.

The internal cultivation was used to feed the Imperial Soul with the cultivator's own spiritual power,
while the external cultivation was used to absorb the spiritual power in the surroundings.

Rocky also found out that the cultivation method of the Mysterious Soul Formula was very different
from ordinary soul cultivation skills. With it, the cultivator would need to release the power of the
Imperial Soul out of his own body to materialize it. It was almost the same as what they did in the
Imperial Soul Testing Array.

Once the Imperial Soul materialized, it could be treated as a familiar. In addition to letting it cultivate by
itself, it could also be fed with all kinds of treasures from heaven and earth in order to hasten its growth.

This way, the Imperial Soul would be able to cultivate to the greatest extent, yielding a speedy
development.



However, there was also a risk in using this kind of cultivation. Once the Imperial Soul was exposed to
the outside world, it would become more susceptible to outside forces. It would become more prone to
get hurt or lose control.

After getting a general understanding of the Mysterious Soul Formula, Rocky directly left the palace
and returned to his Magic Spiritual Space
