Chapter 522 – Breaking Through the Heaven-man Boundary

“Tea made from Mist Hollow God Tree leaves is really amazing. My soul aptitude has finally advanced to superior level-7.” In a secret room, Yang Feng slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes shone brightly, and he revealed a smile.
To Warlocks, soul aptitude was extremely important. To train the fleshly body wasn’t too hard, but the same couldn’t be said about the soul. Warlocks could strengthen their fleshly body via various secret methods. As for the soul, it was extremely difficult to cultivate it.
It was very difficult for Warlocks with a low soul aptitude to form a soul seed and soul core. Apprentice Warlocks with a soul aptitude lower than level-3 fundamentally had no hope of condensing a soul seeds. Warlocks with a soul aptitude lower than level-4 fundamentally had no hope of evolving a soul seed into a soul core. Warlocks with a soul aptitude lower than level-5 fundamentally had no hope of promoting to the Bright World Warlock rank. Warlocks with a soul aptitude lower than level-6 fundamentally had no hope of advancing to the Infinity Warlock rank.
In order to break through the shackles of soul aptitude, human Warlocks have developed countless precious elixir hat can improve their soul aptitude. But the further you want to improve your soul aptitude, the more difficult it is to achieve it. Therefore, many human Warlocks have to transplant a powerful bloodline into their body, and use the power of the bloodline to smash the shackles of soul aptitude.
In the past, it was because he was suffering from soul aptitude shackles that the Taboo Lord has slaughtered virtually all aurum powerhouses, and then used their blood essence to upgrade his soul aptitude.
The apple of wisdom has greatly improved Yang Feng’s wisdom and allowed him to easily understand various bodies of knowledge and to easily learn various secret methods. Nevertheless, it couldn’t improve his soul aptitude.
However, superior level-6 soul aptitude was already enough for Yang Feng to practice cultivation until the Warlock Monarch rank. Originally, Yang Feng has planned to search for precious materials that could upgrade his soul aptitude after he advanced to the Infinity Warlock rank. But he didn’t expect to receive a gift from the Fuso God Tree in the Fuso Subcontinent, to obtain Mist Hollow God Tree leaves.
“Next comes the main event!” With a flick of his wrist, a Scarlet Immortal Black Mist Lotus seed appeared in his hand, and he stared at the lotus seed with a scorching glow in his eyes.
After going through the Eight Warlock Dynasties, human Warlock civilization has progressed continuously, and various powerful elixirs have been developed.
In the Great Cloud Dynasty, as long as you have enough magic crystals, you can buy elixirs that will improve your soul aptitude from inferior level-1 to superior level-7.
Of course, elixirs capable of advancing soul aptitude beyond superior level-6 were very expensive, and even Infinity Warlocks would feel the pinch. To promote soul aptitude to superior level-7, Infinity Warlocks would have to spend all their fortune.
Treasures that can promote soul aptitude to inferior level-8 were peerless treasures extremely hard to come by. Even Infinity Warlocks will have to completely depend on their luck to get one such a treasure.
As one of the Great Cloud Dynasty’s Ten Great Sects, the Battle Demon Sect controlled one of the Great Cloud Dynasty’s 36 greater provinces, and the population under its control has exceeded 100 billion people. Even so, there was no treasure in the sect capable to upgrading a Warlock’s soul aptitude to inferior level-8.
The Scarlet Immortal Black Mist Lotus seed was thus beyond precious. If it appeared in the world, it will cause countless people to compete over it.
It was because Shi Xue was found to have superior level-8 soul aptitude that the whole Battle Demon Sect was shaken, and the shocked Great Elder Yue Wuxian took the initiative come out and take her as a disciple.
Yang Feng gulped down the Scarlet Immortal Black Mist Lotus seed. When the lotus seed entered his mouth, it turned into a black mist that entered directly into his soul.
A refreshing feeling bubbled out from the depths of Yang Feng’s soul. It the next moment, that feeling gave way to acute pain, is if his being was being torn into pieces.
Warlocks called the boundary between level-7 soul aptitude and level-8 soul aptitude the heaven-man boundary. Warlocks with level-8 soul aptitude, even in the prosperous Eight Warlock Dynasties, were peerless geniuses. Many Warlock Monarchs and Holy Spirit Warlocks were geniuses with level-8 soul aptitude. There were also human Warlocks with level-7 soul aptitude who reached the Holy Spirit Warlock realm, but they were very rare.
Although not every Warlock with level-8 soul aptitude could promote to the Warlock Monarch rank and beyond, but as long as they didn’t die, they could easily promote to the Glorious Dawn Warlock and Bright World Warlock rank. They also have much higher chances of reaching the Infinity Warlock rank than other Warlocks.
Other Warlocks, and even genius Warlocks with superior level-7 soul aptitude, will find it very difficult to become Glorious Dawn Warlocks.
A violent pillar of magic energy soared into the sky from the secret room where Yang Feng was located and entered the clouds, and, as if a giant black hole, frantically extracted life magic energy from the Immortal Huang Palace and the Battle Demon Sect.
“What happened?” Within a magic energy pool in the Immortal Huang Palace, Huang Yihe opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows, and then his figure blurred, and he disappeared from the magic energy pool.
“What’s going on?”
“What happened?”
“...”
In the Battle Demon Sect, Warlocks in the moonlight Warlock rank and above all sensed the change in life magic energy in the Battle Demon Sect. Startled, they emerged from their residences.
“It’s the Immortal Huang Palace!”
“Is Great Elder Huang Yihe experimenting with a new secret method?”
“...”
The experts of the Battle Demon Sect watched the black pillar of light frantically extracting life magic energy with inquisitive looks in their eyes.
The leaders of the various Battle Demon Sect branches turned into streams of light and flew into the Immortal Huang Palace, trying to figure out what happened.
Three rays of light flickered and almost instantly appeared in the Immortal Huang Palace. Of the tree people who emerged from the rays of light, one was the Great Elder Yue Wuxian; the other was a burly man built like a bear who looked to be in his forties – the Great Elder He Liannu; the last one was a handsome young man with a medium build and unearthly temperament wearing a white Warlock robe – the Great Elder Yu Jingang.
Yue Wuxian looked at the giant pillar of black light that was the manifestation of countless fantastic seals containing various laws with a complex look in her eyes and said slowly: “This is an illusion triggered by someone breaking through the heaven-man boundary! Old man Huang, whose residence is that?”
“Heaven-man boundary! Sure enough!” The hearts of the two experts He Liannu and Yu Jingang shook, and they watched the giant pillar of black light with complicated emotions in their eyes.
Huang Yihe’s eyes lit up, and he chuckled loudly: “That’s Yang Feng’s residence! I really didn’t expect him to break through the heaven-man boundary, to reach this point! Ha-ha! I really picked up a jewel.”
At that time, when Huang Yihe has agreed to accept Yang Feng as a personal disciple, he just wanted to sow good karma with Shi Xue. After all, with her heaven-defying aptitude, Shi Xue won’t have any problem advancing to the Bright World Warlock rank in the future, and she may even become an Infinity Warlock. He never expected that with his poor aptitude, Yang Feng could climb to this position step by step.
Yue Wuxian’s beautiful eyes flashed with a complex gleam, and she finally revealed a smile: “This pair of kids are supreme talents! It looks like the Battle Demon Sect is going to thrive!”
With the close relationship between Shi Xue and Yang Feng, the stronger Yang Feng was, the better it was for Yue Wuxian.
He Liannu sighed, regretful: “What a pity. Such a disciple, it would be great if I have accepted him.”
Yu Jingang nodded, a look of regret in his eyes.
When Shi Xue has caused a sensation in the Battle Demon Sect, He Liannu and Yu Jingang have traveled to other places. Otherwise, even if they couldn’t compete for Shi Xue, they may have taken in Yang Feng.
Seeing this scene, Huang Yihe rejoice even more and laughed loudly: “Ha-ha!”
Standing aside, the Sect Master Lu Wuchen watched the black beam of light and listened to the discussion of the Great Elders. He was shocked, and there was a complicated look in his eyes: “He broke the heaven-man boundary! This Yang Feng is really fierce!”
In the Battle Demon Sect, there was not a small number of talents with superior level-7 soul aptitude, yet there was not a single person with inferior level-8 soul aptitude.
For his soul aptitude to break through the heaven-man boundary, Yang Feng’s future was bright, making Lu Wuchen a little jealous.
“This is an illusion that is manifested when someone is breaking through the heaven-man boundary! Amazing!”
“Who is breaking through the heaven-man boundary?”
“...”
The leaders of the various branches came to Immortal Huang Palace and looked at the black beam of light with envy and jealousy in their eyes.
Wang Zhilan looked up at the black pillar of light in the sky with a complicated glint in her pretty eyes and sighed: “To break trough the heaven-man boundary, Senior Disciple Brother Yang Feng is really amazing!”
Wu Ziming looked at the black beam of light with a bitter expression on his face, and a feeling of dejection welled up in his heart: “I’m afraid I will never catch up to him!”
Wu Ziming was also a genius, and he had a strong will. He has aimed at Yang Feng, trying to surpass him and become a personal disciple of Huang Yihe. But now there was really no hope, he no longer had any intention to challenge Yang Feng for the position of personal disciple.
The black beam of light that was the manifestation of countless seals containing laws gradually disappeared.
Huang Yihe who was comparable to an Infinity Warlock scanned with his tremendous spirit force and showed a smile: “Success! He has completely broken the heaven-man boundary!”
Yue Wuxian uttered lightly: “Congratulations, old man Huang, congratulations on getting such a disciple. If there are no accidents, he is sure to become a Glorious Dawn Warlock in the future. His potential is much greater than Yuan Yi’s. Congratulations, you picked up a treasure.”
Huang Yihe was all smiles: “Ha-ha! Lucky, I was just lucky!”

Translator’s notes:
Wang Zhilan – if I remember correctly, she’s the girl who received Yang Feng when he first appeared in the Immortal Huang palace.
Wu Ziming – he should be the person that challenged Yang Feng for the personal disciple position the day he came to the Immortal Huang palace.
Yuan Yi – Huang Yihe’s eldest personal disciple. Mc met him in the Demonic Realm.
