People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 145 Breakthrough, Soul Skill!

Zixiao Pavilion.

Ignoring the turmoil in the Black Corner Region, Chen Xiao and his group devoted themselves to cultivation without any distractions after obtaining the Bodhi Transformation Saliva.

After all, the battle with Demon Flame Valley is not something that can be resolved in a day or two, and with the talent of Chen Xiao and his group, the more they cultivate, the more confident they become.

As more and more resources were gathered, and through auction channels they were continuously transformed into usable resources, no one needed to worry about resource issues. With such solid logistical support, everyone was rapidly strengthening their own capabilities.

One day, two weeks later.

Bamboo building in the city center.

The energy of heaven and earth converged like a whirlwind, surging continuously into the room on the third floor.

Any discerning expert could tell from this scene that the person inside was attempting to reach a higher realm.

And that's exactly what happened.

Spurred on by the Little Fairy Doctor, Chen Xiao became even more eager to improve his strength, and he drank the Qingyuan Pill from beginning to end, which further increased his cultivation speed.

After half a month of arduous practice, today, I finally ushered in a long-awaited opportunity for a breakthrough.

The violently surging energy of heaven and earth subsided slowly, like the receding tide, after a quarter of an hour.

Inside the room on the third floor, Chen Xiao remained seated cross-legged, his tightly closed eyes slowly opening, a sharp glint flashing in them.

As he circulated his internal fighting spirit, feeling the even more powerful and refined energy surging through his limbs and bones, Chen Xiao couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He nodded slightly, quite pleased with the results of this breakthrough.

"As a two-star Dou Huang, I have the Imperial Extreme Pill available. I only need to accumulate enough to reach the eight-star level, which means I still have six minor realms to qualify for the Dou Zong challenge. With the help of the pill, reaching the peak of Dou Huang in a year would be difficult, but a year and a half should be enough!"

After silently estimating the time, the joy of the breakthrough was instantly extinguished by more than half.

Reaching the level of Dou Zong is a long and arduous journey.

Of course, this estimate is based on normal cultivation and does not take into account unforeseen circumstances. If there are delays or other opportunities, it is normal for the time to reach the peak of Douhuang to be earlier or later.

Without rushing out, Chen Xiao adjusted himself slightly, closed his eyes again, and formed a strange cultivation hand gesture with his hands.

"From the vast emptiness arise countless orifices, from the ethereal spirit is born the void..."

As the murmur in his heart rang out, Chen Xiao silently began to cultivate his soul power.

Ever since he received the "Nine Nether Soul Scripture" in advance, Chen Xiao has spent some time improving his soul power after each cultivation session.

Unfortunately, there are no instruments in the Northwest Continent to test soul power, so Chen Xiao still doesn't know the extent of his soul power or how far he is from reaching the Spirit Realm.

The only certainty is that his soul power is increasing every day, which can be confirmed by the ever-expanding range he can sense when releasing his soul perception.

As Chen Xiao entered a meditative state, the bamboo building he was in, and even the surrounding area of ​​several hundred feet, were enveloped by a strange power. Those within it would involuntarily lose their focus, as if their minds were being drawn into an invisible vortex.

Beneath the bamboo building.

Hai Bodong and Cao Xi, who were playing chess to pass the time, noticed this familiar and strange power and frequently lost focus, so they had no choice but to stop.

"This soul power, which is neither visible nor understandable, is truly bizarre. When Chen was cultivating before, it had almost no effect on his surroundings, but these days it has been disturbing people's minds frequently," Hai Bodong sighed.

Cao Xi smiled, his gaze unconsciously drifting to the third floor of the bamboo building, a hint of envy flickering in his eyes.

"This is a good thing. It just shows that his cultivation method is very profound and has unique features. The influence has become more and more obvious in recent days, which means that his soul power has reached a new level invisibly."

The division of the realm of the soul has always been very general.

Below the Emperor's Realm lies the Heavenly Realm.

The Heavenly Realm is divided into early, middle, late, and perfect stages, but no one has defined a standard for the Spiritual Realm and Mortal Realm below the Heavenly Realm.

This is actually somewhat unreasonable. However, the power of the soul is ethereal and elusive, and methods of soul cultivation are even rarer in the current Dou Qi Continent. Even if some powerful individuals want to change this situation, they are powerless to do so.

Cao Xi glanced at the room on the third floor again, then slowly got up.

"Ice Emperor, go ahead and take care of your business. I'll go check on Chen Xiao."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Xi strode towards the bamboo house.

in the room.

Chen Xiao, who was cultivating, noticed someone entering the bamboo building, but did not stop cultivating.

Half an hour later, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at Cao Xi, who was sitting by the window waiting.

"I've kept Fourth Elder waiting." "It's alright, I have nothing else to do anyway."

Cao Xi chuckled and shook his head, not inquiring about Chen Xiao's soul cultivation method.

As a family of alchemists, no one understands the value of this cultivation method better than them.

Such a thing, let alone the Cao family, would be considered a secret treasure even within the Pill Tower, and probably only those ancient races would regard it as an ordinary secret technique.

"I was playing chess with the Ice Emperor downstairs and noticed that you've improved. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to come up and tell you something."

Meeting Chen Xiao's probing gaze, Cao Xi smiled slightly and took out a rather peculiar scroll from his storage ring, handing it over.

This scroll is made of a special metal material that is neither copper nor iron, and is dark yellow in color.

Even more strangely, there was not a single word or image inside when it was opened.

"When Cao Ying brought the Transformation Pills this time, she prepared some pills as snacks and gifts for Zi Yan. Actually, she also prepared one for you."

"But according to her, she'll keep you in suspense for a while and give it to you on the day I leave. She's a bit of a troublemaker, so don't worry about it. I've noticed that your soul power has improved a lot recently, so I thought I'd give it to you first. Just don't let it slip when you see her in the future."

Hearing Cao Xi's explanation, Chen Xiao couldn't help but chuckle.

Based on previous interactions, Cao Ying is just a pushover, a master of empty talk.

Surprisingly, he holds a grudge.

The fact that he gave Cao Xi so many instructions clearly shows that he wanted to regain the face he had lost when he left last time.

Unfortunately, he was betrayed by Cao Xi in the blink of an eye…

"Fourth Elder, rest assured, I will definitely not betray you."

Hearing Chen Xiao's joking remark, Cao Xi chuckled and left without lingering.

After watching Cao Xi leave, Chen Xiao turned his attention back to Cao Ying's mysterious gift.

Upon closer examination, it was found that the scroll remained unchanged regardless of whether it was roasted, frozen, or even dripped with blood.

Thinking back to what Cao Xi had just said, that he had noticed an improvement in his soul power and that was why he had taken it out ahead of time.

Thinking back to some of the tricks of that Cao family demoness in the original timeline, Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, and he had a vague guess in his mind.

Without any hesitation, Chen Xiao's heart stirred, and an invisible and intangible soul power immediately surged out from between his eyebrows, all of it encroaching on the scroll in his hand.

"Chi~"

As if piercing through a layer of foam, accompanied by a slight sound, Chen Xiao suddenly realized that his consciousness had entered a special space.

It was completely dark, except for a beam of light in the very center, where a transparent figure sat cross-legged, its gender indistinguishable.

Chen Xiao focused his gaze, and in an instant, streams of information entered his mind.

"Soul skills..."

"Soul Profound Seal Palm!"

"There were a total of ten demonstrations, and now there are five left."

Before Chen Xiao could sort through this information, the figure sitting cross-legged in the light seemed to sense someone entering and, as if triggering some kind of process, immediately stood up.

The next moment, He slowly stretched out his hands in front of him, forming a strange hand seal.

Under Chen Xiao's gaze, the figure's handprints rapidly changed, making Chen Xiao feel as if he were seeing a scene: a middle-aged man standing atop a mountain peak. As his handprints took shape, a vast and powerful soul force rapidly formed in his palm. Faintly, a huge handprint could be seen in the distorted space.

"Soul Profound Seal Palm!"

A loud shout came from his mouth, and the vast soul power in his palm instantly solidified and shot out like lightning. Then, it actually tore a dark rift dozens of feet wide in the space in front of him!
snort~
The scene ended there, and Chen Xiao came to his senses.

Immediately, the figure in the light was seen slowly withdrawing from its posture and sitting down cross-legged again.

At the same time, another message entered Chen Xiao's mind.

Only four demos left…

The next moment, an irresistible force surged forth, directly squeezing Chen Xiao's consciousness out of this space.
