I created the Tianjiao Era.

Jiang Hao was silent.

For the first time, he experienced the state of "nothingness".

And it's just a hint of artistic conception.

The real "nothingness" would only be ten or a hundred times more powerful than what he had just experienced.

If Jiang Hao rashly enters the Black Ruins now, there is no doubt that he will be "assimilated" by the Black Ruins and completely become a part of nothingness.

"My soul is not strong enough..."

Jiang Hao understood his current situation.

If your soul is not strong enough, then increase your soul strength.

But how to increase the strength of the soul?
Jiang Hao turned his gaze towards Hei Zun.

Hei Zun is a life form that travels through the Black Ruins. The strength of his soul is also very terrifying. He must have a method to train his soul.

Hei Zun also smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist, you should have realized how terrifying nothingness is, right? The soul is the key, so the lives in the Black Ruins basically focus on training the soul, with the body as a supplement."

"I have a method for training the soul, called the Nine Refinements of Transformation. When a practitioner feels that his soul has reached a certain strength, he can absorb a trace of Black Ruins Qi and try to refine it. Once the refining is successful, the soul is equivalent to completing a transformation, which is equivalent to the 'first refinement' in the nine refinements. After nine times, you can try to enter the Black Ruins and completely complete the transformation."

"However, the Nine Refinements of Transformation to Void is quite dangerous. Every time you refine a trace of Black Ruins Qi, it is actually an attempt to 'transform to void', and the possibility of failure is very high. If you fail, your soul will truly 'transform to void', which is equivalent to being assimilated by that trace of Black Ruins Qi. It is almost impossible to recover, and it is not much different from death. Therefore, it is up to you to decide whether to practice the Nine Refinements of Transformation to Void."

Jiang Hao did not give an immediate reply upon hearing this. Instead, he pondered for a while and asked, "Besides the Nine Refinements of Transformation, are there any other methods to train the soul?"

"Of course. However, it is almost impossible to transform the soul with other soul training methods. The reason why my soul is so strong is actually because I practiced the Nine Refinements of Transformation, which is the strongest soul training method in me."

Jiang Hao looked at Hei Zun and asked curiously, "How much has your soul been refined now, Daoist Fellow Hei Zun?"

"I have refined my soul three times."

"After only three refinements, the soul strength is so terrifying? It can even survive in the black ruins for a short time?"

Jiang Hao's heart was shocked.

He knew a little about Hei Zun's experience.

The opponent's treasure was damaged, and he himself fell into the black ruins, even his body became ethereal.

The soul was also severely damaged by the erosion of the black ruins.

But he still fell into chaos and saved his life.

This is all because the other party’s soul is so terrifyingly strong.

I didn’t expect that such a strong soul has only been refined three times?

There is no doubt that the Nine Refinements of Huaxu is indeed very powerful.

If one could really go through the nine refinements, the possibility of soul transformation would probably be very high.

Hei Zun did not lie about this.

"Nine refinements of the Void, thank you very much, Daoist Fellow Hei Zun."

Jiang Hao had already made a decision in his mind.

So, Hei Zun taught Jiang Hao the Nine Refinements of Transformation.

This is indeed an extremely dangerous method, but one that brings great rewards.

Actively turning into emptiness is simply risking your life.

But if it succeeds once, it is equivalent to the soul undergoing a small transformation, and the soul strength increases dramatically.

This is an effect that many methods of training the soul may not achieve even after thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

The risk is extremely high, but there are still people who practice it.

Jiang Hao began to check his current situation.

Cultivation: Great Power (Top)

Root bone: 100
Perception: 100
Spirit: 100
The Nine Seat Planes (Perfect)

Guardian Avenue: 2% (forty-nine avenues)
Qingyang Immortal Divine Canon: 1%
Nine Refinements of the Void: Getting Started (Progress 1%)

Jiang Hao's data has not changed much.

The Qingyang Immortal Divine Scripture was used by Jiang Hao himself to cultivate the immortal spirit.

But it doesn't really work.

After so long, nothing has changed.

Trying to figure out the way to the soul on your own won't produce much effect.

Therefore, Jiang Hao no longer needs to practice the Qingyang Immortal Divine Scripture.

Instead, he concentrated on practicing the Nine Refinements of Transformation.

However, at present, he has not even reached the first level of the Nine Refinements of Huaxu.

Just looking at the introduction.

However, there are benefits.

The data has a special progress. As long as the progress reaches 100%, can I try to refine a trace of Black Ruins Qi?

If this is true, then Jiang Hao will have obvious advantages in practicing the Nine Refinements of Transformation.

At least he could see the progress of his own ninth level of refinement.

Know when to refine the black ruins energy and when not to do it because the timing is not right.

This alone is a huge advantage over Hei Zun.

However, this is all thanks to the Martial Arts Temple.

After Jiang Hao cultivated himself to become a great power and his three talent data reached 100, his talent data seemed unable to increase any more.

The three celestial bodies are also useless.

The role of the Martial Arts Temple seems to be dispensable.

But now, Jiang Hao discovered that the role of the Martial Arts Temple was very obvious.

But it was not as dispensable as he had thought before.

Just being able to record the progress of practicing the skills gives him an advantage over other practitioners.

However, the technique of the Nine Refinements of Transformation is available.

How do we strengthen our soul in normal times?

Hei Zun also explained it frankly.

First, as time goes by, the cultivator has various experiences, or cultivates the physical body, etc., and the strength of the soul can be improved automatically.

But this will take a long time.

And it's all based on luck.

Jiang Hao certainly didn't want to wait aimlessly like this.

Second, there must be some rare treasures.

There are also treasures in the Black Ruins.

But it is very rare.

There might even be treasures in Chaos that could strengthen the soul.

Obtain some treasures and use them to quickly increase the strength of your soul.

However, this kind of treasure is hard to come by and is extremely precious.

Jiang Hao can use this method.

After all, Chaos generally does not attach importance to soul cultivation.

Many of the treasures that enhance the soul are probably rarely used.

If Jiang Hao collects vigorously, he might get something.

But it also depends on luck.

There is also a third way, which is also the final way, which is to feel the state of emptiness and intention at all times.

This can be done at the junction or edge of Black Ruins and Chaos.

But it's very dangerous.

It is very likely to get lost in the realm of nothingness.

However, Hei Zun also has the state of mind of emptiness.

As long as Hei Zun is willing, Jiang Hao can use the void state of mind displayed by Hei Zun to train the strength of his soul.

This is also the method used by many people in Heixu.

But the prerequisite for this is to have elders with a sense of emptiness and intention.

Hei Zun can do this.

"Then I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Hei Zun in the future."

"It's okay. I'm just using the Void Realm. It doesn't consume much of my energy. However, even if it doesn't consume much, it still consumes some energy. If I can get some natural treasures that can enhance my soul in the future, Brother Jiang, please donate some to me."

Hei Zun also has requirements.

That is a rare treasure that strengthens the soul. If Jiang Hao gets it, you can share some with him.

The reason why Hei Zun was willing to teach Chen Jian Zun was actually because he hoped that Chen Jian Zun could obtain the treasures of heaven and earth that could strengthen his soul and help him stabilize his soul state.

However, Venerable Chen Jian was lucky and indeed obtained some treasures that strengthened the soul, so that Venerable Hei's soul could be barely stabilized.

Otherwise, Hei Zun’s soul would have collapsed and been annihilated long ago.

"Don't worry, Daoist Hei Zun. If Jiang gets a treasure that can strengthen the soul, he will give some to Daoist you."

Jiang Hao also agreed to Hei Zun's request.

It's just a matter of giving some to Hei Zun, Jiang Hao will naturally not refuse. (End of this chapter)
