Chapter 79

In the next moment, the true essence began to collide with the 'stone door' again, and the collisions continued without pause. After a full day and night, Hua Xiajiu's face was as pale as snow, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot. Finally, after the last collision with the 'stone door,' his body trembled, and a ripple of waves suddenly appeared several meters above his soul form in the soul sea. A black hole suddenly appeared, and a beam of white light shot out from it.

After tens of thousands of collisions by the true essence, the five meridians had split countless times and then repeatedly healed. Hua Xiajiu finally managed to open the meridians connecting the dantian to the soul sea.

What Hua Xiajiu did not know was that the true essence used in the 'Ming Shen Jue' to open the meridians to the soul sea was based on the true essence cultivated through the 'Ming Shen Jue.' The density of this true essence was far more powerful than the true essence cultivated through the 'Tianyi Duan Shen Jue' that he had used.

In fact, if it were an ordinary cultivator without strong meridians and the ability for the meridians to heal automatically, the true essence cultivated through an ordinary technique like the 'Tianyi Duan Shen Jue' would be impossible to open those five meridians.

Therefore, throughout history and across all realms, Hua Xiajiu was the only one who had managed to form a Ming Shen Altar in the soul sea without cultivating the true essence of the 'Ming Shen Jue.'

But was it still a Ming Shen Altar if it was not formed using the true essence of the 'Ming Shen Jue'?

...

...

The true essence cultivated to the Ling Yuan realm through the 'Tianyi Duan Shen Jue' rushed into the soul sea like a floodgate opening, without waiting for Hua Xiajiu's control. Hua Xiajiu was startled and did not dare to delay. The light of his soul form surged, and all the soul energy moved to forcibly bind all the true essence around the black hole. After a dozen breaths, all the true essence in the dantian's true essence lake had been transferred to the soul sea, forming a mass of true essence about 500 acres in size above his soul form, centered around the black hole.

"Divide the soul, split the spirit, condense the essence, and form the divine altar."

At the same time, the insights from the 'Ming Shen Jue' about refining the Ming Shen Altar flashed through Hua Xiajiu's mind. His heart was as calm as ice. In the next moment, a black knife appeared beside his soul form and, without hesitation, slashed at the soul form.

Rip!

One percent of the soul form was severed from the main body. Hua Xiajiu could no longer control himself and let out a piercing scream, his face instantly turning pale and almost transparent.

With a spurt, a mouthful of fresh blood spewed out, and Hua Xiajiu almost fell to the ground.

With an extremely strong and cold-blooded will, Hua Xiajiu forced the one percent of the soul form to float upward. The remaining soul form writhed and reformed into a complete human shape, but it was only one percent of its original size.

The one percent of the soul form that floated upward, upon touching the true essence transmitted from the dantian, also reformed into a miniature complete soul form.

With a hum, the white light surged, and all the true essence rolled and moved, surrounding the miniature soul form. It then began to collapse and shrink, and as it collapsed, its shape began to change.

As the true essence collapsed and shrank, it became increasingly condensed and refined. The originally liquid-like true essence, like water turning to ice, was about to solidify.

After dozens of breaths, after countless collapses, the 500 acres of true essence finally condensed and shrank to the size of the soul form's head, forming a circular altar-like object.

White light swirled, simple yet filled with a sacred aura, with a hint of evil hidden within.

At the moment the altar formed, the hundreds of golden faith threads originally connected to the soul form suddenly transferred to the white circular altar.

With a hum, as the hundreds of faith threads connected to the white altar, a faint blood light appeared above the altar and slowly formed a faint blood-colored human-shaped shadow, floating above the altar.

This blood-colored human-shaped shadow was very small, only the size of a finger, with a blurry face and a dim, almost transparent form.

At the same time, Hua Xiajiu, who was sitting in meditation in the stone cave, suddenly trembled violently. His hair rose without wind, and a blood light appeared on his forehead. A strange, cold, and yet sacred aura emerged from his body. Although this aura was weak and seemed to be a blend of several different auras, it was extremely pure.

After a few breaths, Hua Xiajiu's long hair fell back, the blood light on his forehead slowly disappeared, and the strange aura vanished without a trace, everything returning to normal as if nothing had changed.

At the same time, in the sky above the Dao Soul Continent, one of the two moons, which was far away, suddenly shone brightly. However, since it was daytime, no one noticed.

In a vast void, on a towering mountain peak as large as a planet, in a black palace surrounded by divine light, a middle-aged man in white, who was in deep meditation, suddenly stirred as the mountain peak's light intensified. He slowly opened his eyes, waved his right hand, and a mirror-like image appeared in the fluctuating space before him.

First, a green planet appeared, then the planet quickly zoomed in, filling the entire image within a few breaths and continuing to zoom in.

After a dozen breaths, the scene in the image finally stabilized. In the image, a man in his late teens, wearing black robes and extremely handsome, was sitting in meditation. Suddenly, this man's body trembled, and a blood light appeared between his eyebrows—

The man in the image was Hua Xiajiu, who was cultivating the 'Ming Shen Jue.'

"Who would have thought that in just two hundred years in the Dao Soul world, two divine souls would be cultivated. Regardless of how these divine souls grow, this is a great opportunity for me, and of course, for my Tian Luo Sect. Hmm! Since there are two divine souls, it's worth paying a certain price to deceive the dead thing called Tian Yun and send people to harvest those two divine souls! I might as well also snatch some of the Dao seeds that the Tian Dao Sect has been cultivating in the Dao Soul world, hahaha—" The middle-aged man in white looked at Hua Xiajiu in the image with a greedy expression, like a wolf seeing a sheep, and laughed wildly.

After taking a deep look at Hua Xiajiu, a blood light suddenly appeared on the middle-aged man's right middle finger, and he pointed it at Hua Xiajiu's forehead in the image.

In the next moment, a blood light flashed at Hua Xiajiu's forehead but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"This boy's strength is too weak. This blood soul should be able to protect this divine soul from being extinguished in this world until I send someone to extract his divine soul," the middle-aged man retracted his middle finger, his eyes flickering, and thought to himself. Then he waved his right hand, and the image before him disappeared—
