I'll make you the furnace and the cauldron, so you can refine Yin and Yang and prove the Great

The flying boat glided across the sea, the dark purple water churning beneath it. More than half a month had passed since they left the Netherworld, and Xiao An had been meditating within the Soul Banner, repeatedly tempering the eighty thousand Nether Soldiers. The Second Elder's injuries had improved considerably in the past two weeks; the blockages in his meridians had been completely cleared. Although his cultivation level hadn't increased, his foundation was much more solid than before.

That evening, Li Hanshan sat cross-legged in the cabin, preparing to close his eyes and meditate, when a warm fluctuation of soul power suddenly emanated from the Soul Banner. Xiao An's voice rang in his mind: "Senior, my realm has stabilized. Please use the Netherworld Record to help you temper your divine sense during this time."

Li Hanshan opened his eyes and did not refuse. The two sat down cross-legged facing each other, palms touching. Xiao An's soul power surged into his sea of ​​consciousness, carrying the unique yin power of the Netherworld Record, and merged and blended with his pure yang energy in the center of his sea of ​​consciousness.

Unlike Luo Li's dual cultivation of spirit and soul, Xiao An's soul power possessed a more substantial texture, like an iron block that had been repeatedly hammered, each strand containing the profound depth unique to a Nascent Soul level Yin Soul. Wherever that soul power passed, his consciousness, like forged metal, became more solid and resilient through repeated tempering.

At first, Li Hanshan thought this was just a normal dual cultivation of spirit and soul. But as Xiao An's soul power continued to pour in, he sensed something unusual—the speed at which the soul power penetrated was too fast, far exceeding the normal tempering rhythm. His sea of ​​consciousness experienced dozens of violent shocks in just a few hours, each shock causing the intensity of his divine sense to rise by a notch.

"Xiao An, what's wrong with you...?" he asked, his voice tinged with surprise.

"The secret technique of the Netherworld Records." Xiao An's voice rang in his mind, calm yet tinged with barely suppressed joy. "After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, I comprehended a new soul technique from the Netherworld Records. It can significantly enhance the spiritual strength of the person cultivating with it in a short period of time. Senior's foundation is solid; the effect of this technique is even better than I imagined."

She didn't stop; her soul power continued to pour in. Li Hanshan's divine sense, like a flame ignited, rapidly ascended.

Originally, after cultivating his soul with the girl, Li Hanshan's spiritual sense was comparable to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage, which is the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

Xiao An was clearly only at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage, but because she was a Yin spirit, a naturally born soul, with the help of this secret technique, Li Hanshan's soul improved to a degree no less than when he was cultivating his soul with the girl.

boom!

A violent tremor came from the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness. He felt as if his divine sense had been injected with surging power, rapidly rising to a level comparable to the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

But this was not the end. His divine sense was further enhanced, and a few days later, his divine sense broke through the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage!

His divine sense's coverage expanded dramatically, allowing him to clearly discern even schools of fish swimming on the distant sea surface. Li Hanshan opened his eyes, a fleeting flash of purple-gold light passing through them.

He looked down at his hands, feeling the vast and expansive spiritual realm within his sea of ​​consciousness, a sense of indescribable satisfaction welling up within him. "The spiritual consciousness of a sixth-level Nascent Soul cultivator… this feeling is truly wonderful."

Xiao An withdrew her hand, and the eerie blue light on the surface of her soul body dimmed slightly. However, she was in good spirits, with an barely suppressed smile on her lips: "Senior's foundation is more solid than I imagined, which is why this secret technique can be so fully effective."

Li Hanshan nodded.

He knew that the reason this secret technique could bring him such great benefits was mainly due to the soul power Xiao An accumulated when breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, as well as the gains from the Yinming Ancient Land, all of which were given to him at once.
