Buzz!
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan could clearly feel an extremely pure soul power suddenly erupted inside him.
The range of his divine sense was expanding at a crazy speed.
If the strength of his soul was originally only slightly stronger than an ordinary mid-stage Violet Palace cultivator, then after consuming the Essence Soul Pill, the strength of his soul was infinitely close to a ninth level Violet Palace cultivator.
At this moment, he had already met the requirements for cultivating the Spirit Refinement Technique.
According to his choice back then, what Jiang Chengxuan wanted to cultivate was the Grand Sun Meditation.
Once it was cultivated, there would be a powerful sun in his sea of consciousness.
Not only could he use this technique to burn the soul and even the primordial spirit of others, but it could also negate all attacks on his soul and primordial spirit, and even curses.
Back then, when he obtained this technique, he had already read the contents many times and was well aware of the key points and things he needed to take note of.
Therefore, at this moment, when Jiang Chengxuan began to cultivate this technique, he did not encounter many obstacles.
[Ding.]
Just as Jiang Chengxuan reached the entry level of the Grand Sun Meditation, a long-lost system notification suddenly appeared in his mind.
[System mission issued. Host, please complete a hundred refinements of the soul.]
Hearing the system’s notification, Jiang Chengxuan was no longer surprised.
At that moment, he took out the resources he had obtained from the secret treasure space that day and finally began to officially cultivate the Grand Sun Meditation.
Time passed slowly.
In the blink of an eye, four years passed.
In the past four years, not only had Jiang Chengxuan cultivated the Grand Sun Meditation from the entry level to the third level, but he had also completed the mission issued by the system and obtained a treasure from the system.
It was called the Vast Heaven Divine Jade.
It was in Jiang Chengxuan’s sea of consciousness.
Not only could it nourish Jiang Chengxuan’s soul at all times and strengthen it, but it could also combine with the Grand Sun Meditation that Jiang Chengxuan cultivated to ward off external evil and even deal an extremely terrifying soul attack.
Most importantly, the Vast Heaven Divine Jade given by the system could be upgraded as Jiang Chengxuan’s cultivation level increased.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan’s soul had already begun to transform into a Primordial Spirit.
This was a symbol that characterized Golden Core cultivators.
It represented the transcendence and strengthening of the power of the soul.
Even if the body was accidentally destroyed, the Primordial Spirit could still attach to the Golden Core and possess other living beings.
However, this method seemed to be restricted by the rules of heaven and earth.
Everyone, regardless of success or failure, only had one chance in their life.
Moreover, after the possession was successful, they could no longer use this method to relive.
Just as Jiang Chengxuan was about to continue cultivating, his communication jade talisman suddenly lit up.
This made him frown slightly.
When he picked up the communication jade talisman and read the contents, his heart sank for no reason.
The message was from the Shen family.
Not long ago, Xiong Wandao finally accumulated enough family contribution points and exchanged for the Azure Dragon Wood Crystal he had left there.
Without the help of the Purple True Pill, he resolutely tried to break through to the Violet Palace. In the end, he failed and his meridians shattered. His soul dissipated and he died.
This piece of bad news undoubtedly dealt a blow to Jiang Chengxuan.
No matter what, Xiong Wandao was one of the first friends he made when he first joined the Shen family.
They had fought side by side many times, especially during the demon beast riot.
Although the interaction between the two of them gradually decreased after he advanced to the Violet Palace, the relationship between the two of them didn’t weaken.
When he suddenly heard the news of his death, Jiang Chengxuan immediately lost the mood to continue his seclusion.
When he walked out of his cave abode, he found that Shen Ruyan was already standing outside his door.
“I knew you’d come out.”
Shen Ruyan sighed and continued.
“You should have received the message from my family, right?”
“Yes.”
Jiang Chengxuan nodded dejectedly.
“Sigh…
Ruyan, do you think that if 1 didn’t leave that Azure Dragon Wood Crystal behind, this wouldn’t have happened?”
Shen Ruyan could hear the sadness in Jiang Chengxuan’s words. She immediately went forward and held his hand. She shook her head at him with a gentle expression.
“Husband, don’t think that way.
In the end, it was Elder Xiong’s choice. It has nothing to do with you.
Back when you left behind the Azure Dragon Wood Crystal, you had also reminded Fifth Granduncle and the others.
1 believe Fifth Granduncle and the others must have reminded Elder Xiong when they handed the Azure Dragon Wood Crystal to him.
Therefore, Elder Xiong can’t blame anyone.”
Jiang Chengxuan smiled bitterly.
He patted Shen Ruyan’s hand and said,
“Don’t worry, your husband is not that mentally fragile.
1 just feel that the path of cultivation is really filled with all kinds of accidents.
If we’re not careful, we’ll be doomed.”
At this point, the couple fell into a short silence.
In fact, they all knew in their hearts that such things were by no means rare in the cultivation world.
Almost every moment, there were cultivators who lost their lives because of a failed breakthrough.
It was just that the person who had died was an acquaintance and friend of theirs. They were just a little sad.
But they wouldn’t go so far as to blame themselves for his death.
Everyone had their own fate.
After a while.
The couple had already adjusted their moods.
They changed the topic and started to talk about the results of their seclusion in the past four years.
Through communication, Jiang Chengxuan learned that Shen Ruyan had gained as much as he had in the past four years.
She had also cultivated the Thunder God’s Body to the third level.
Her soul also began to change in the direction of a Primordial Spirit.
In addition.
From the Spirit Refinement Technique, Thunder God’s Body, she comprehended Lightning Strike Spear, an attack method that could target the Primordial Spirit of the opponent.
Even a False Core cultivator would probably suffer a huge blow if they did not pay attention or did not have a treasure that could protect their Primordial Spirit.
As the couple was talking, their communication jade talismans lit up again.
After they finished reading the contents of their communication jade talismans, a hint of joy appeared on their faces..
