Chapter 256 Heavenly Star Soul Tempering Technique

Looking up at the sky, Chen Xiao realized there was still some time before nightfall. He immediately reviewed the Heavenly Star Soul Tempering Technique, which he had placed high hopes on.

This is a highly difficult secret technique in the "Heavenly Wind Soul Codex".

To perform this secret technique, one must use the Star Essence Liquid as the core catalyst and sit cross-legged under a vast starry sky.

Then, the cultivator needs to drip the Star Marrow Liquid onto the sea of ​​consciousness between their eyebrows, simultaneously circulate the Soul Cultivation Technique, draw the power of the stars into their body, and then cultivate step by step in three steps.

The first step is called Foundation Building and Rotation.

This step requires using one's own soul as a container to receive the power of the stars and condense it into a 'star vortex' in the sea of ​​consciousness. The rotation of the star vortex is used to wash away impurities in the soul. It needs to be operated for half an hour every day for seven days to see the initial effect of a clear soul.

The second step is called "Block Breaking and Expansion".

Seven days after the star vortex is formed, one can use their soul power to control the star vortex and strike the 'soul barrier' at the edge of the sea of ​​consciousness. At the same time, one can use cultivation techniques to gradually expand the range of the sea of ​​consciousness through repeated impacts, thereby increasing the upper limit of the soul's power capacity.

The third step is called "Condensing Stars and Transforming".

When the area of ​​the sea of ​​consciousness expands to twice its initial size, it can continue to absorb the power of the stars and condense a 'soul star' with a starlight mark in the star vortex.

The number of Soul Stars is directly related to the strength of the soul. The more Soul Stars one condenses, the stronger the soul power becomes, and vice versa. The stronger the soul power, the more Soul Stars one can condense.

Once at least nine soul stars are condensed, the ethereal Heavenly Realm barrier will be broken without any attack!

This is the fastest way Chen Xiao can think of to break through to the Heavenly Realm Soul stage, besides targeting the Soul Palace's soul essence.

Although it had never been used before, after multiple verifications, the Heavenly Wind Soul Manual is indeed very reliable.

For example, the previous method of dual cultivation of the souls brought great benefits to both Chen Xiao and Cao Ying, the experience of which was indescribable.

Therefore, Chen Xiao also had high expectations for this Heavenly Star Soul Tempering Technique.

In addition, there is a strict requirement for performing this secret technique: the cultivator's soul must reach the Spirit Realm level, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the load of the power of the stars and the operation of the secret technique.

Furthermore, one must maintain a high degree of mental focus throughout the cultivation process. If interrupted by external interference, the power of the stars and the star vortex may backfire on the sea of ​​consciousness, causing damage to the soul.

However, Chen Xiao's soul had already reached the peak of the Spirit Realm, so he didn't need to worry about the rune requirements.

As for safety, with Elder Qingshan, a two-star Dou Sheng, protecting him, Chen Xiao couldn't think of anything safer than going to the Ancient Emperor's Cave.

After reviewing the cultivation method in his mind again and again until he had memorized it completely, Chen Xiao finally cleared his mind of distractions, adjusted his state, and waited for the starry night to fall.

...

Time passed second by second. When Chen Xiao opened his eyes again, the moon shone on the Milky Way, and the stars stretched for thousands of miles.

This is the moment when the power of the stars is at its most concentrated!
Nodding slightly to Elder Qingshan in the distance, Chen Xiao no longer hesitated. He opened a bottle of Star Marrow Liquid, tilted his head back slightly, and carefully poured out a drop, placing it in the space between his eyebrows and in his sea of ​​consciousness.

This Star Essence Liquid is made primarily from Netherworld Grass. Upon first contact with his brow, Chen Xiao felt an extreme coolness that penetrated his soul and swept over his entire body, as stimulating as suddenly jumping into ice water on a hot summer day.

Without time to fully comprehend it, Chen Xiao quickly gathered his mind and began to circulate the cultivation method from the "Heavenly Wind Soul Scripture".

Unlike usual, as soon as Chen Xiao started cultivating, he noticed that as he began to circulate his magic, a strange energy seemed to be drawn towards him from the vast void, constantly converging towards his brow.

"This is the power of the stars? It feels even more concentrated than the energy of heaven and earth?"

Chen Xiao was quite shocked when he first came into contact with the power of the stars.

This power of the stars could perhaps be seen as a unique kind of cosmic energy. Having personally experienced the density of the power of the stars, Chen Xiao understood why the Three Thousand Starry Sky Flames, also known as the Three Thousand Burning Flames, were called the Undying Flames.

This energy is truly immense!
After a moment of reflection, Chen Xiao quickly dismissed his distracting thoughts and focused all his attention on soul cultivation, allowing the power of the stars to seep into his sea of ​​consciousness through his brow.

The power of the soul and the power of the stars, these two completely different powers, became increasingly distinct in the sea of ​​consciousness as the power of the stars intruded more and more.

They are like two liquids of different densities, existing independently within the sea of ​​consciousness.

The power of the soul occupied 99% of the entire sea of ​​consciousness, while the power of the stars gathered together and 'curled up' in a corner.

However, due to Chen Xiao's deliberate 'letting things slide', more and more of the power of the stars intruded, and the area they occupied gradually increased.

Finally, after two hours, the gathered star power gained momentum and gradually took on the shape of a vortex.

"This is the Star Vortex..."

Sensing the scene within his sea of ​​consciousness, Chen Xiao gradually understood the principle behind this secret technique.

Just like an empire, too much tranquility is not necessarily a good thing; there needs to be pressure to be released in order to make continuous progress.

The stellar power within his sea of ​​consciousness is like a rebel army within the empire. What Chen Xiao needs to do is use this rebel army to continuously refine the power under his command, remove the suppression, and retain its essence!
With this thought in mind, Chen Xiao immediately began to manipulate the star vortex, causing it to rage wildly within his sea of ​​consciousness!
In an instant, a sharp pain emanated from the depths of his soul, causing Chen Xiao to involuntarily hiss softly.

But as he gritted his teeth and persevered through half an hour of cultivation, Chen Xiao discovered that his soul seemed to have become clearer, and he felt refreshed from the inside out!
Slowly opening his eyes, Chen Xiao pondered, "Could this be because the impurities in my soul have been washed away?"
The matter of cultivation is truly mysterious and profound!

"it's over?"

Elder Qingshan approached.

He observed Chen Xiao's changes. The improvement in his Dou Qi realm was self-evident, but beyond that, he had a feeling that Chen Xiao in front of him had undergone an indescribable change.

"Thank you for protecting me, Elder. Today's cultivation is over. If I persist for half a month, I may be able to advance to the Heavenly Realm!" Chen Xiao nodded and thanked him.

Having personally experienced the benefits of this secret technique, Chen Xiao gained even greater confidence.

Even if we fail to achieve the breakthrough as expected and make our souls clearer, there will only be benefits and no drawbacks!

"It's nothing. Your method of soul cultivation is indeed profound. To achieve such remarkable results after just one practice is a testament to its value. In the future, you should not use it in front of others lightly, lest you cause unnecessary trouble."

Elder Qingshan shook his head, offering a kind reminder.

As the Grand Elder of Donglong Island, and being of the true form of the Ancient Void Dragon, he naturally wouldn't covet Chen Xiao's possessions.

However, the situation might be different for the powerful humans in Zhongzhou. If the information were leaked, it's hard to guarantee that some people wouldn't harbor inappropriate thoughts.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly; he naturally understood this principle.

Since obtaining the "Heavenly Wind Soul Manual," he has only passed it on to a few women who are closest to him and whom he can absolutely trust, and he has not passed it on to anyone else.

This Soul Codex is far more precious than the previously received "Nine Nether Soul Codex"; it is a treasure worthy of being passed down through a clan!

Chen Xiao has always felt that this is one of the top three things he gained in the False Heaven!
"Advancing to the Heavenly Realm in half a month is no easy feat. How confident are you?"

"Before practicing this secret technique, I only had about 30 or 40% success rate, but now I'm at least 50% confident I can break through!"
