Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 875 Great Resonance
Ye Xuan came to the slightly raised stone platform just below the 'Dao Soul' and sat cross-legged. Then he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the ground around him.

Fang Yuan came to Yun Huang's side at this time and cast several formation spells at a place nearby. A faint light flashed on the ground there, and a formation diagram of half a meter in size emerged. The light at the edge rose, forming a light column half a person's height.

Fang Yuan turned his head to look at Ye Xuan who was already seated, then raised his hand and waved it. The storage ring on his hand flickered slightly, and immediately a large amount of various spiritual materials were thrown into the beam of light.

"Om..."

In an instant, the entire cave seemed to tremble slightly, and the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to fluctuate unusually. And around Ye Xuan, on the ground within a ten-foot radius centered on him, an extremely complex white light array emerged. The light of the array became brighter and brighter, rising from the ground and rising straight up, soon completely submerging Ye Xuan in the middle, and rising all the way to the top of the cave, also covering the "Tao Soul" suspended above Ye Xuan's head.

The moment he was enveloped by the light of the formation, Ye Xuan had an indescribable strange feeling. The spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to materialize, and his whole body felt comfortable as if bathing in the warm sun. An extremely rich and mysterious aura filled the surroundings. He felt refreshed and sharp-eyed after taking a slight breath, as if he had taken all kinds of beneficial elixirs invisibly.

"Is this the magical effect of 'Dao Soul'? It is indeed extraordinary..." Ye Xuan was surprised, but did not hesitate. He immediately adjusted his posture and began to practice. The Ancient Devouring Art began to operate, and he tried his best to absorb the rich mysterious aura around him.

Above Ye Xuan's head, a transparent ball of light was faintly rolling in the light. It was not known whether it was an illusion. Its size seemed to be slightly smaller than before, but it looked more solid. When Ye Xuan began to actively use his energy to absorb the mysterious energy, the ball of light trembled slightly, and the rolling speed increased.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan and Yun Huang on the side couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. Yun Huang's eyes flickered and he whispered, "It's at least a Saint Grade technique at the Earth level, or maybe even higher... And I can't tell what kind of attribute it is, it seems to be more than one, could it be that he's practicing multiple techniques?"

After observing for a while, Yun Huang said, "He is about to break through the bottleneck. His 'Dao Soul' has completely 'awakened'."

Fang Yuan nodded slightly and turned to face the tiny light array next to him. It was obvious that this light array was the control center of the large array under Ye Xuan. He raised his hand and threw out two unknown spiritual crystals, followed by two special array spells.

After only a few breaths, the 'Dao Soul' above Ye Xuan's head trembled very obviously, and then began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye. It looked more and more solid in appearance. When it shrunk from a diameter of ten feet to a size of two feet, it had become almost opaque, and turned into a ball of light composed entirely of white light, and its color was even darker than the light of the surrounding formations.

At this moment, this "Tao Soul" seemed to have spirituality, emitting a unique wave, and began to slowly descend, eventually landing on Ye Xuan's head and wrapping him up like a bubble.

At the same time, Ye Xuan was concentrating on practicing his skills. There was another reason why he wanted to use the Dao Soul.

That is the advancement to the holy realm of martial arts, which is different from the advancement to the holy realm of spiritual power.

When one advances to the holy realm of martial arts, the holy nature condensed has a grade, which absolutely determines the potential for future development of martial arts.

The grades of holy status are divided into secondary holy status, imperfect holy status, flawless holy status and perfect holy status.

There is basically no chance of advancing to a great saint after reaching the secondary saint level. What Tianyin Xuannv condensed at the beginning was the secondary saint level.

The probability of advancing to Great Sage while lacking Sainthood is about 10%.

The probability of being flawless will reach 30%, and the probability of perfect sainthood will reach 50%, and you can advance to a great saint in the future.

Of course, this refers to the probability of breaking through the Great Sage's bottleneck.

Each grade of holy energy has different effects, whether in practice or in combat.

Basically, the saints that Ye Xuan encountered before were of secondary sainthood. If he encountered a saint who lacked sainthood, his cross-level combat capability would be greatly reduced. For example, Fang Yuan lacked sainthood. As for the messenger of the gods, in Ye Xuan's opinion, he was absolutely of flawless or even perfect sainthood!
Therefore, at that time, with Ye Xuan's combat power, he was helpless when he encountered that god clan!
The magical effect of the Dao Soul was indeed extraordinary. Just by absorbing its energy, Ye Xuan felt like he was taking countless powerful elixirs...

He wanted to adjust his condition to the best, but he didn't want to end up with a secondary holy status when he advanced to the holy realm.

Suddenly, Ye Xuan felt a several times stronger warmth enveloping himself, and at the same time, the Dao Qi around him also became several times stronger. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked up, only to see that he was being enveloped by the 'Dao Soul'.

The next moment, he felt that the extremely rich Taoist energy around him actually began to 'automatically' penetrate into his body without him having to absorb it. A large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth rushed towards him like a dam bursting. The surging energy rushed through his body, and his cultivation, which had been stagnant at the level of semi-saint, actually showed signs of loosening up on its own!
However, before Ye Xuan could be surprised, he suddenly realized that the Samsara Martial Soul in his body became "excited" at this moment, and began to spin at a high speed without any warning, several times more intense than the previous time, as if it was about to fly out!
Ye Xuan was shocked and controlled his Samsara Martial Soul almost reflexively, using almost all his strength to suppress the unusual movement of his Samsara Martial Soul.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan reacted in time, and he was already very familiar with this kind of thing. Fang Yuan and Yun Huang who were outside only felt a strong martial soul fluctuation suddenly emanating from his body, but did not notice the soul skill characteristics of the reincarnation martial soul. The two looked at each other and saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes, because this reaction was unexpected.

"What's going on?" At this moment, after suppressing the abnormal movement of the Samsara Martial Soul, Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel suspicious. He carefully sensed the changes of the Samsara Martial Soul and said in surprise, "This reaction... seems to be 'resonance'?!"

He felt a kind of "resonance" from his reincarnation martial soul, but this was not a resonance between martial souls, but more like a resonance caused by encountering something closely related.

"Is it related to... this 'Dao Soul'?!" Ye Xuan's mind raced, and he could only think of this one guess. He secretly wondered, "Could it be that the Samsara Martial Soul has some special relationship with this 'Dao Soul'?"

Ye Xuan felt that this possibility was very high. After all, the ancient devouring technique transmitted by the reincarnation martial soul was also a great Dao technique. It was not surprising that it had some special relationship with the 'Dao soul energy' inherited from the Xuanyun Sect. He even speculated that the reason why he ran to this area when he went crazy was not because of this 'Dao soul'?
Ye Xuan originally thought that he ran to this area because of Mei Duo when he was crazy, but after thinking about it afterwards, he denied it.

Although Mei Duo also has a furnace body, she is just a girl without any cultivation. There are many female furnace cultivators in the Spirit Realm who are better than her.

However, now does not seem to be the time to ponder these questions, because Ye Xuan soon discovered that a strange "thought" was mixed in the energy of the Tao that was pouring into his body, "secretly" rushing towards his soul!

"This is..." Ye Xuan was suddenly shocked, and subconsciously thought that this was a sinister trick of Xuanyun Sect to harm him, and immediately wanted to block this "thought". What he didn't expect was that as soon as this thought came to his mind, the Reincarnation Martial Soul in his body suddenly shook slightly, and even though it was suppressed by him, it actually emitted a faint energy. However, this energy did not spread out of his body, but instead, like a predatory claw, it wrapped around the unknown "thought" and instantly rolled it into the Reincarnation Martial Soul!
This unexpected change made Ye Xuan unable to help but be slightly stunned, but then his eyes lit up slightly, as if he suddenly knew something, and a hint of realization appeared in his eyes. He thought to himself: "So that's how it is, this is the real intention of Xuanyun Sect..."
