Eternal World, Eternal Peak.
Sitting cross-legged on the 10,000 stone steps, Qin Yu took a deep breath and gradually calmed his mind. As he thought back to what he encountered in the inheritance stone pillar, he still felt a lingering fear. He couldn't help but feel a sense of panic and exhaustion in his heart.
Now that he thought about it, Qin Yu did not know how he managed to survive that period of torment. It was even more ferocious than the six years when he was in the Tianqi Sect.
Fortunately, Qin Yu forcefully condensed the Godly Soul in his body at the last moment. Otherwise, his soul would have been destroyed.
He originally thought that he could easily obtain top-notch Remarkable Skills and combat skills after entering the Inheritance Stone Pillar. However, he did not expect to walk through the gates of hell directly.
If Qin Yu were to choose again, even if the fortune he obtained this time was great, he would still consider it carefully. That was because he managed to survive this time mainly because of luck. If he was any slower in condensing the Godly Soul, he would definitely die!
Although he almost met with a mishap this time, the fortune he obtained was not small!
As everyone knew, there were countless cultivation skills in the world. However, the cultivation skills related to the Godly Soul could be described as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!
However, the inheritance that Qin Yu obtained this time was not only a Godly Soul cultivation skill, but also a Godly Soul Remarkable Skill!
In the Inheritance Stone Pillar, Qin Yu only learned a little. Now that he had reached the Eternal Peak, he planned to spend some time to comprehend the Godly Soul cultivation skill!
Qin Yu looked into his body and focused on the Spiritual Infant in his dantian.
At this moment, the Spiritual Infant still looked strange. Its entire body was light purple. The ribs on its back were all yellow and filled with cracks. Its spine was golden and there was a light grey figure that was the size of a grain of sand sitting cross-legged between its eyebrows.
This … was the Godly Soul that Qin Yu had condensed!
Generally speaking, one could only condense the Godly Soul after entering the Dao Realm. It was unheard of for Qin Yu to condense the Godly Soul when he was in the Dao Knocking Realm.
Something's not right … Looks like it's not just luck that allowed me to make it through this time. There's also … the Primal Chaos Energy that mother left behind! Qin Yu muttered to himself as he stared at the light gray figure in between the Spiritual Infant's brows.
When he had blasted open the Sea of Misery, a sliver of life force had surged into the space between the Spiritual Infant's eyebrows. At this moment, Qin Yu discovered that the sliver of Primal Chaos Qi had already disappeared. It was most likely absorbed when the Spiritual Infant had condensed and taken form.
In other words, the Chaotic Qi had played an important role in condensing a Divine Soul in the Dao Knocking Realm.
This made Qin Yu sigh with emotion. He didn't expect that not only did his mother leave behind the Nine Tribulations Undying Divine Body Technique, but she also left behind a trace of Primal Chaos Energy. Who would have thought that this Primal Chaos Energy would save his life!
Qin Yu muttered to himself, "No matter what, I've already survived this calamity. Now, I can cultivate the Divine Soul Art. If I can comprehend the Divine Soul Art … perhaps my strength will increase by another level!"
He was at the peak of the Dao Knocking Realm, and his strength had already surpassed that of an ordinary Dao Realm Stage One cultivator. It could be said that he had already reached his limit to a certain extent. It was extremely difficult to increase his strength on the basis of the Dao Knocking Realm.
Qin Yu took a deep breath and stared at the winding stone steps in front of him that were shrouded in clouds and mist. His eyes were filled with determination. Then, he slowly closed his eyes, and the words of that strange person appeared in his mind.
"The Divine Soul is the foundation of a person, and it is also a person's weakness. My strength has reached the limit of the realm, and only my Divine Soul is the weakest. I have comprehended the Divine Soul for countless years, and I created the Heaven Refining Divine Soul Art. I opened the Divine Soul Sea … and refined the souls of all things in the world …"
In the tenth year after entering the Eternal World, Qin Yu stepped into the first realm of the Heaven Refining Divine Soul Art: the Consolidated Soul Realm. As the name implied, it stabilized the Divine Soul!
"I wonder where that strange person came from. This Heaven Refining Divine Soul Art is really powerful!" Qin Yu looked inwardly at the Divine Soul between the Spiritual Infant's eyebrows and exclaimed in surprise.
The Divine Soul that was originally the size of a grain of sand and drifting erratically was now the size of a fingernail. Although it was still very small, its facial features were clear, and it was exactly the same as Qin Yu's. This was the symbol of the Consolidated Soul Realm.
"The first realm is the Consolidated Soul Realm. After reaching the Consolidated Soul Realm, the power of the Divine Soul can be derived. The second realm is the Divine Sea Realm … I can't imagine that the Divine Soul also has a Divine Soul Sea!" Qin Yu muttered to himself.
The second realm of the Heaven Refining Divine Soul Art was the Divine Sea Realm. As the name implied, it was the Divine Soul Sea.
According to that strange person, when the Divine Soul was strong to a certain extent, it could open up a space similar to the Sea of Bitterness. This space was called the Divine Soul Sea!
"The Divine Soul is the weakest part of a person. However, if I cultivate this Heaven Refining Divine Soul Art, I'm afraid that the Divine Soul will not become the weakest part of a person. Instead, it will become one of the trump cards. If I can open the Divine Soul Sea before leaving the Life-and-Death Secret Realm, that would be the best!"
"Only by opening the Divine Soul Sea can I cultivate the Divine Soul Art …" Qin Yu muttered to himself.
It had to be said that after tasting the sweetness of the Heaven Refining Divine Soul Art, Qin Yu was particularly looking forward to the Divine Soul Art created by that strange person.
At the same time, Qin Yu was also curious about the origin of this strange person. Logically speaking, for someone to be able to create such a powerful Divine Soul Law Formula as well as a Divine Soul supernatural ability, that strange person was absolutely extraordinary.
However, why did his Divine Soul not have hands and feet?
It looked like it had been chopped off.
However, with his cultivation base, not to mention his hands and feet, even if his body had died tragically, he could still come back to life. So, why didn't his hands and feet recover?
After thinking for a while, Qin Yu concluded that the strange person's hands and feet had been chopped off by a powerful enemy. However, that strange person saw this as a humiliation and was unwilling to recover his hands and feet before taking revenge.
The more Qin Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Unfortunately, he could leave the Life-and-Death Secret Realm at any time. Otherwise, Qin Yu would have liked to flip through the history of the Yin Life and Death Sect to see if he could find out the origin of that strange person.
After calming down his thoughts, Qin Yu immersed himself in the Heaven Refining Divine Soul Art and tried to open the Divine Soul Sea!
Time passed silently. On the Eternal Peak, no one would disturb Qin Yu. Moreover, in the Time Formation, as long as Qin Yu did not leave the Life-and-Death Secret Realm, he would have plenty of time to comprehend it.
On the thirtieth year after entering the Eternal World, Qin Yu successfully stepped into the second realm of the Heaven Refining Divine Soul Art and opened the Divine Soul Sea.
"Is this the Divine Soul Sea?"
Because his mind could not see the Divine Soul, Qin Yu could only close his eyes and comprehend quietly. Only then could he see the Divine Soul Sea.
At this time, his Divine Soul was already the size of a thumbnail. Although his body was small, there was a space about the size of a palm. This was the Divine Soul Sea.
Although this Divine Soul Sea was pitifully small, it was filled with rich Divine Soul Power.
"Although I have opened the Divine Soul Sea, it is not enough to increase my strength. At most, it will make my Divine Soul stronger than ordinary people. If I want to increase my strength with Divine Soul Power, I will have to … master that secret art and Divine Soul Art!" Qin Yu muttered to himself.
That strange person had taught Qin Yu a secret art and a Divine Soul Art.
The secret art was called Divine Soul Chain, which used the Divine Soul as a chain to lock other people's Divine Soul!
The Divine Soul Art was called Sky Killing Blade, which, according to that strange person, used the Divine Soul as a blade to kill the souls of the heavens!
