The Soul Palace, as described in martial arts practice, is the sacred abode of the Nine Heavens!
Some speculate that the Soul Palace corresponds to the pineal gland in human anatomy. It is said to secrete various
hormones and possesses metaphysical effects on the body. However, with age, its functions gradually decline,
becoming nothing more than a vestigial organ.
For those who cultivate martial arts, reopening the Soul Palace signifies unlocking an entirely new realm—a realm
brimming with untapped potential!
Opening the Soul Palace involves utilizing reiki to access the center of the brain. It is also known as the upper
dantian. While it is relatively easier to open the lower dantian and cultivate the eight meridians, only masters of
exceptional strength can successfully open the Soul Palace.
To martial artists, the Soul Palace represents the pinnacle of the Mastery, the birthplace of spiritual consciousness.
By unlocking the Soul Palace and following the correct path of cultivation, one not only gains access to potent and
mysterious powers but also gains the ability to separate their consciousness from their physical form, granting
them unprecedented freedom.
Most of these claims, however, exist only in Taoist texts. Among the seven billion people in the world, finding
someone who has genuinely opened their Soul Palace through their own efforts would be a near-impossible task.
Even Omas himself had no knowledge of how to open the Soul Palace.
According to the “Apocalyptic Book,” mastering one’s aura is merely an elementary step for martial artists. Only
with the opening of the Soul Palace can one be considered a true master.
Yet, within the pages of the “Apocalyptic Book,” there is no guidance on how to unlock the Soul Palace.
Gideon and the others, including Zeba, had attempted to open their Soul Palace but failed.
However, thirty years ago, the British Lord utilized his extraordinary powers to forcibly unlock the Soul Palace for
the four marshals.
While this act did not assist their cultivation, it bestowed upon them an immensely intricate formation within their
Soul Palace. The Lord spent several years and vast amounts of reiki on each individual, granting them this powerful
formation.
Additionally, the Lord imparted a specific mental technique. In times of life-threatening danger, they could silently
activate the formation within their Soul Palace through mental recitation.
According to the British Lord, if the four marshals found themselves on the brink of death, opening the Soul Palace
and activating the formation within would enable their souls to transcend mortality.
By leaving behind a remnant soul in the world, their consciousness could persist. Their enemies would remain
oblivious to this remnant, and even if discovered, they would be powerless to harm it.
Moreover, they need not fear their remnant soul wandering as a lonely spirit, as the British Lord vowed to locate
their remnants swiftly and transport them away.
The Lord would find suitable bodies for them, allowing their remnant souls to take possession. In this way, they
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcould be reborn, their souls inhabiting new vessels.
Essentially, the formation within their Soul Palace represented the Lord’s final gift—a chance for rebirth, a phoenix’s
resurrection!
Creating this monumental formation required years of effort and copious reiki from the Lord, and the four marshals
were immensely grateful. With the formation within their Soul Palace, they possessed two lives.
However, over the course of thirty years, none of the four marshals had truly activated the formation within their
Soul Palace.
The absence of life-threatening crises in their lives during this time was the primary reason.
Although Jarvis faced a life-or-death situation in Cyprus, the circumstances were unique.
The three close-range cannons that claimed his life were too swift, too powerful, and the brutality of the attack left
him with only seconds from sensing danger to his demise. There was simply not enough time to activate the
formation within the Soul Palace that the Lord had bestowed upon them.
Presently, Gideon found himself in a fortuitous position!
His recollection matched Zeba’s relief, for she believed that Gideon would not meet his demise today.
Simultaneously, Gideon’s heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly, he remembered the Lord’s words from the past—the instructions for opening the formation within the
Soul Palace. Although this formation could not help them defeat their enemies or preserve their lives, it provided a
safeguard for their souls.
The Lord also promised that as long as their remnant souls lingered in the world, their consciousness would endure.
Their enemies would remain oblivious to the presence of their remnant souls, helpless in the face of this revelation.
Moreover, they need not fret about their remnant souls becoming lost or wandering aimlessly. The Lord assured
them that he would swiftly locate their remnants and guide them away.
When the time came, the Lord would find suitable vessels for their rebirth. Their remnant souls would displace the
original occupants, ushering in a fresh beginning.
In essence, the formation within their Soul Palace served as the Lord’s final lifeline, a chance to rise anew like a
phoenix!
This colossal formation had taken the Lord several years and an abundance of reiki. The four marshals held
immense gratitude in their hearts, for with the formation within their Soul Palace, they possessed two lives.
Nonetheless, thirty years had passed, and none of the marshals had truly activated the formation within their Soul
Palace.
This was primarily due to the absence of life-threatening crises during these three decades.
While Jarvis faced such a dire situation in Cyprus, the circumstances were exceptional.
The three cannons that ended his life were too swift and powerful, leaving him with mere seconds from sensing
danger to meeting his demise. There was insufficient time to activate the formation within the Soul Palace
bestowed upon them by the Lord.
However, Gideon found himself in the opportune moment!
With a sorrowful smile, he gazed at Omas and, while silently operating his mind to unlock the Soul Palace, spoke
with a wicked grin, “Omas Wade! Even if you annihilate my body, what does it matter? In a few short years, I shall
return to life, and by then, you may already be ripped to shreds by the Lord! But if luck is on your side and you
manage to survive the Lord’s clutches, I shall find a new vessel and personally kill you!”
Zeba, hidden in the shadows, breathed a sigh of relief. She felt in her heart, “It seems that Gideon will be spared…”
At that moment, Omas furrowed his brows and questioned, “Why? Do you plan to seek me out for revenge after
your rebirth?”
Gideon chuckled, gritting his teeth as he responded, “Omas Wade, it appears you have yet to grasp the secrets of
longevity. Had you known, you wouldn’t be ignorant of the concept of seizing a new body upon rebirth! Hahaha!
After today, the Lord will undoubtedly bestow upon me a new divine body. Once my cultivation is restored, I shall
exact revenge upon you with my own hands, Gideon Alastair!”
Omas sensed a drastic change in the man before him.
One second he feared death, begging for mercy, and the next second he exuded an air of indifference, even
anticipation of death. It was as if he no longer feared his impending demise, but rather welcomed it!
And Omas’s intuition did not betray him.
Gideon had indeed come to embrace death!
His physical form now lay in ruins, courtesy of Omas’s relentless assault. Even if he were to survive, he would be
condemned to a life of bedridden suffering.
However, with the opening of his Soul Palace, his remnant soul would be liberated. Soon, he would be reborn within
a young and vigorous vessel, restoring his cultivation level within a few decades!
Thus, at this moment, he had truly embraced death!
Meanwhile, the mental technique within his consciousness completed its circuit. The Soul Palace instantaneously
opened, and the dormant formation, silent for thirty years, roared to life like a miniature universe!
Gideon laughed repeatedly, disregarding the blood spewing from his mouth. His gaze locked onto Jordan, and he
laughed with a blend of excitement and ferocity, “The Soul Palace is open! The Soul Palace is open, Omas! Do you
remember? Hold on tight, for I, Gideon Alastair, shall exact a thousand- fold, ten thousand-fold revenge upon you in
the future!”
Omas remained unaware of the impending danger, but his instincts told him that he needed to act swiftly.
Without hesitation, he shouted, “Thunder!”
In an instant, a thunderbolt as thick as an arm descended from the sky, directly striking the crown of Gideon’s
head!
Omas had previously held back with the Thunderbolt Strike, but this time, he had resolved to kill.
Given Gideon’s current condition, this thunderbolt would undoubtedly end his life!
Yet, to Omas’s bewilderment, the astonishingly powerful thunderbolt made no impact on Gideon whatsoever!
Omas’s frown deepened as he suddenly realized that an unimaginable energy was surging within Gideon’s body!
This power surpassed his comprehension!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the darkness, Zeba remained oblivious to these abnormalities. She had merely heard Gideon’s words and was
relieved that he had opened his Soul Palace.
Though she and Gideon had never been close, she couldn’t shake the feeling of their fates being intertwined since
Jarvis’s demise. Now that Gideon had unlocked the Soul Palace, she could finally
hope for her own escape.
At this moment, Gideon’s expression transformed into a rapid frenzy.
In just a second or two since the opening of his Soul Palace, an unimaginably scorching blaze ignited within his
brain!
That fireball grew and intensified like a supernova, expanding at an alarming speed.
The pressure within his Soul Palace grew exponentially.
It felt as if a mountain had been thrust into his brain!
Agonizing pain tormented him, akin to the tortures of the eighteen levels of purgatory!
Jordan, too, sensed the imminent danger. The violent energy pulsating within Gideon’s body was beyond his
comprehension.
In a matter of seconds, his heart sank as he realized the gravity of the situation!
He couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly, “Oh no! What kind of hidden formation lies within his body? Is it capable of
turning him into a living nuclear bomb?!”
With this realization, Omas’s survival instincts kicked in, urging him to flee from the impending danger.
Yet, at that very moment, Gideon writhed in agony, overwhelmed by the surging power within his head. He
convulsed and thrashed upon the ground, his screams echoing madly, “My… my head… it’s going to explode!
Lord… you… you’re truly wicked at heart!”
Simultaneously, Zeba detected the anomaly and let out a shocked scream. Springing to her feet, she attempted to
retreat.
As Omas took a step to escape, he caught sight of a woman, hidden mere ten feet away, whom he had remained
oblivious to all this time.
Self-reflection overcame him, questioning how he could have been so careless.
But at that moment, an earth-shattering explosion erupted behind him!
Boom!
Gideon’s body became akin to an exploding atomic bomb, unleashing a tempestuous shockwave that rapidly
propagated in all directions!
In an instant, Omas experienced an excruciating pain engulfing his entire being, as if his bones were shattering and
his organs pulverized.
The impact of the explosion was akin to being struck by a hundred-ton boulder hurtling from the heavens!
Omas knew his fate was sealed.
In his last moments of consciousness, he lamented, “Parents, I have failed you as a filial son. I hope you both,
resting in the heavens, will not hold it against me…” And in the next moment, he plunged into an abyss of eternal
darkness, his consciousness obliterated.
