Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 282 Kanli Soul Forging
In the Spirit Cave, on the lotus platform, Jiang Chen sat cross-legged.

At this moment, his divine soul power was fully revealed, interfering with reality and evolving into the two energies of water and fire. The two were like a torrent, constantly colliding in this spiritual cave. Only a phantom of a blue lotus stood there, unmoved.

At a certain moment, the two energies of water and fire seemed to have reached their peak, and they collided fiercely like two giant beasts. In an instant, a powerful divine soul force erupted, sweeping across all directions, and the spiritual energy of the entire spirit cave was thrown into chaos.

At that very moment, his soul was injured, and Jiang Chen's face suddenly turned pale.

"Water and fire clashed, and the spirit was injured."

A tearing sensation came from his soul, and Jiang Chen fell out of his meditative state.

However, in the next instant, he activated the secret technique again and entered a meditative state.

It was at this moment that the two energies of water and fire, which were originally completely incompatible, lost their original dryness after the most intense collision and showed signs of coexistence.

As the water and fire energies continued to circulate, Jiang Chen's torn soul began to heal. Between the tearing and healing, Jiang Chen's soul became somewhat more resilient.

Taking in all these changes, Jiang Chen smiled slightly.

"Fire refines its form, water nourishes its nature. The clash between fire and water leads to destruction, while the harmony between fire and water leads to creation. Although my method of refining the spirit is still very crude and has many flaws, its intention is still good."

"Of course, this is also because my soul is special and I have a natural ability to heal myself. Otherwise, with the current wonders of this Refining Mystic Technique, I would probably be harming myself every time I practice it. The little bit of mysterious power derived from the harmony of water and fire is not enough to make up for the chaos caused by the clash between water and fire."

Reflecting on himself, Jiang Chen gained a relatively clear understanding of the effects of the refining secret technique he had created.

"For now, this secret technique of refining can only be practiced by myself, but I have no intention of passing it on to others."

"Kan represents water, and Li represents fire, which coincides with the image of the Eight Trigrams in the pre-heavenly order. From now on, this secret method of refining the soul will be called the Secret Record of Kan and Li Soul Forging."

With a clear mind and after a moment of contemplation, Jiang Chen named the mysterious alchemy technique he had created.

In his previous life, his highest level of soul ability was only the second tier, and that was just the beginning. His original tempering methods were actually not very useful now. But with this Kanli Soul Forging Secret Record, his cultivation of the second-tier soul can now get on the right track.

As for the minor flaws, let's just bear with them for now.

"The essence of the Kanli Soul Forging Manual lies in the transformation of water and fire, within which lies destiny. However, my understanding of the transformation of water and fire is still very superficial, which is the fundamental reason why the Kanli Soul Forging Manual has many flaws."

"If I want to further improve the Kanli Soul Forging Manual in the future, the understanding of the transformation of water and fire is crucial. Therefore, the cultivation of the Glowing Rice is of utmost importance. After all, so far, the Glowing Rice is the only spiritual object that I know contains the transformation of water and fire."

As the thought crossed his mind, Jiang Chen's appreciation for the Glowing Rice increased even further.

"The road ahead is long and arduous, but having a direction is enough."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen once again immersed himself in cultivation.

He has many things to do now: cultivating the Mist Dragon, his own cultivation, forging a second-tier flying sword, and comprehending the divine soul secret techniques such as Bird Taming and Golden Body. All of these take time, and he always feels that he doesn't have enough time.

Compared to before, he seems to be even busier now that he has the combat power of a Dao Foundation cultivator.

However, he wasn't in a rush. Everything proceeded step by step, and no matter how big or small the steps were, progress was always a good thing.

While Jiang Chen was immersed in his cultivation, the demons in Qing Teng County were already getting restless. "Ancestor, the Thousand Vine Mountain has been attacked for a long time without success, and many tribes are harboring resentment."

On the Demon Mountain, looking at Crocodile Abyss gazing into the distance, a demon crocodile spoke.

Since Aoki Lei was seriously injured, the Aoki family has become cowards, stubbornly hiding and refusing to come out no matter how they were forced. Most importantly, even after such a long time, the protective formation of Thousand Vine Mountain has not shown any signs of wavering and remains as solid as a mountain, only causing them to lose some lives in vain.

Naturally, these demons were unwilling, but they dared not abandon their responsibilities outright because of Crocodile Abyss, a powerful demon at the Dao Foundation stage.

Upon hearing this, Crocodile Abyss's gaze shifted.

"You can go down now. Let me think about whether to go forward or retreat."

With a deep, resonant voice, Crocodile Abyss issued the order.

Upon hearing this, the crocodile demon retreated without saying another word.

After the crocodile demon left, Crocodile Abyss turned his gaze to the empty space to the side.

"Fellow Daoist Qu, after so long, the Azure Wood Profound Light Formation has not only not weakened, but has become even more stable. The old ghost's injuries have probably been completely stabilized."

With a hint of confusion in his eyes, Crocodile Abyss explained his opinion.

It was at this moment that the invisible water light dispersed, revealing Qu Shize's round figure, but his face was not smiling, but full of gloom.

During this period, he and Crocodile Abyss had also taken action one after another. At first, they had good results, as if they could break the Qingmu family's protective formation with a little more effort. However, as time went by, the Qingmu family's formation became more and more stable.

"I understand what you mean. Let's put Thousand Vine Mountain aside for now. Just keep an eye on it. Next, we'll integrate the demon troops and sweep across the entire south."

With a helpless sigh, Qu Shize made a decision.

Of course he was unwilling, after all, he had finally seized the opportunity to destroy Aoki Lei's physical body with a single sword strike. If he could not take advantage of this opportunity to kill Aoki Lei and seize the Aoki family's treasure, it would be more troublesome to obtain it in the future.

But now that things have come to this, he has no other choice. Although he doesn't know how Aoki Lei has managed to hold on until now despite his physical body being destroyed, the fact is that Aoki Lei seems to be able to continue, while he can't delay any longer.

He had already received news that the royal Chen family's people, who were originally tied up in the secret realm, had been freed and might soon turn their attention to the south. Before that, he needed to use the demons to completely wreak havoc in the south.

Seeing Qu Shize agree so readily, a look of surprise flashed in E Yuan's eyes. He originally thought that Qu Shize would have to try again. After observing for this period of time, he was basically certain that the Qingmu family did indeed have what Qu Shize wanted.

"Okay, I will have people keep a close watch on this place at all times, and any unusual activity will be reported immediately."

"In addition, I will gather all the demon races and rush into Leshan County as quickly as possible, sweeping through Changfeng and Qingyuan Counties, plunging the four southern counties into complete chaos."

After much deliberation, Crocodile Abyss revealed his plan.

Upon hearing this, Qu Shize nodded.
