Chapter 98

"Indeed, with a waste body, through the Soul Guiding Technique, one can find a suitable soul by selecting a large number of candidates, but this is precisely the second difficulty in Heng Yi's situation! He has no true qi at all. From the speed at which the true qi from the true qi testing talisman was absorbed, his life soul is abnormally powerful. A preliminary estimate suggests that the ability to absorb the natural qi of heaven and earth must reach at least the third level of the Star Venerable realm to achieve this. Such a powerful soul can only be grafted from a high-level expert with cultivation at the third level of the Star Venerable realm or above; ordinary souls simply cannot match. The probability of finding a suitable soul through the Soul Guiding Technique is typically one in ten thousand. How can this be accomplished?" The Elder of the Bipolar Hall sighed helplessly.

Xu Ba wang and Xu Tianfeng were both extremely shocked. When Heng Yi first joined, the Elder of the Bipolar Hall had only given a rough explanation. Today, they finally understood how abnormally powerful Heng Yi's soul force was.

"Is this child's soul force really so terrifying?"

They all knew that before the Earth Venerable realm, the main focus of cultivation was to enhance the life soul force. At the Earth Venerable realm, the focus was on enhancing the earth soul force, and at the Heaven Venerable realm, the focus was on enhancing the heaven soul force.

With all three souls being strong, the Heaven Venerable realm is where the true power of the Divine Gate lies.

To have such strength with only the life soul, if all three souls were complete, what level of soul force would that be?

"Simply inconceivable. From what I see, this child must have had a wandering fragment of a powerful soul from the natural qi of heaven and earth around him before birth, which matched and naturally merged with his soul. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have such strength. But why are the heaven and earth souls missing? I have thought about this for a long time and cannot understand it. Even if the heaven and earth souls were too weak, the merging of the fragment should not have caused the disappearance of the heaven and earth souls." The Elder of the Bipolar Hall sighed deeply. He had already reviewed the relevant records in the books, and Heng Yi's situation was a rare and complex case in the field of soul techniques, with no experience to draw from.

"This is still the second difficulty!" The Elder of the Bipolar Hall shook his head helplessly. "In fact, the Soul Guiding Technique relies on the completeness of the three souls. It can only graft the soul, not the spirit. This means that Heng Yi, who lacks the heaven and earth souls, cannot accept the Soul Guiding Technique. To use the Soul Guiding Technique, he must have all three souls complete. To achieve this, only the Soul Devouring Evil Technique can be used, but the Soul Devouring Evil Technique cannot be performed by others, and with his waste body, he cannot cultivate this technique at all!"

Xu Ba wang sighed deeply, having already understood the three difficulties. "Then there is truly no way. What a pity for this child."

To break the waste body, one must graft the central soul. The central soul must be found from experts at the third level of the Star Venerable realm. To graft the central soul, one must have all three souls complete. To have all three souls complete, one must use the Soul Devouring Evil Technique. To cultivate the Soul Devouring Evil Technique, one must break the waste body.

Such a situation, how can it be resolved?

"From what I know, there is no solution. But I am not an expert in this field. Experts skilled in soul techniques generally do not publicize their abilities, and I do not know where to find them." The Elder of the Bipolar Hall shook his head in worry. Soul techniques have always been somewhat disreputable because most of them require harming others to help someone. Experts in this field naturally do not publicize their abilities, as they would be labeled negatively, and if such incidents occur, they would be suspected and even identified as the culprits.

"Even entering the Heaven Venerable realm with only the life soul is as difficult as ascending to heaven, let alone the Star Venerable realm." Xu Tianfeng, a Star Venerable expert, naturally understood that the Heaven Venerable realm is the stage where one's true qi merges with the natural qi of heaven and earth, a fundamental change. Therefore, the stronger one's true qi, the more natural qi of heaven and earth they can absorb, which is the fundamental reason why experts at the Heaven Venerable realm can sustain combat without depleting their true qi.

In other words, without true qi, one cannot trigger this fundamental change. Without this change, one cannot enter the Heaven Venerable realm. The Star Venerable realm is a second fundamental change that occurs after one's true qi and the three souls and seven spirits become even stronger. The true qi stored in the central soul's qi sea has a limit, and when it reaches this limit, the true qi must undergo a qualitative change, becoming smaller in volume but stronger in power, thus entering a higher level of cultivation.

Relying solely on the natural qi of heaven and earth as a source of true qi, it is not surprising to have the strength of the Earth Venerable realm with a sufficient amount, but entering the Heaven Venerable realm is almost impossible. However, if one has a beast soul, it is possible to use the beast soul's ability to trigger the qualitative change of the natural qi of heaven and earth. But entering the Star Venerable realm is impossible. Although the most powerful strange beasts in the universe are terrifying, their true qi's qualitative nature has never reached the level of the Star Venerable realm. They are exceptionally strong due to their enormous energy capacity, as their large bodies can store many times more true qi than humans, allowing them to be stronger than experts at the Star Venerable realm due to their vast quantity.

"Let's take it one step at a time." Xu Ba wang had nothing more to say. Such a situation would only be resolved by a stroke of luck, but such luck is so elusive that it is not worth considering. There are many residual souls of dead experts in the universe, and in extremely rare cases, they may match and merge with the soul of a fetus in the mother's womb. However, as time passes, the power of these residual souls almost invariably weakens, with only a few becoming stronger over time.

If Heng Yi encountered a residual soul that matched his life soul, it would naturally absorb and become complete, but the probability of this is so low that it is not worth considering. The most likely scenario is that the matching heaven and earth souls have already perished, otherwise, they would not have separated from the life soul in the first place.

"I have already entrusted someone to purchase a Snake Dragon Beast from the Five Leadership Stars. Although the Snake Dragon Beast is not very powerful, its true qi nature is at the level of the Heaven Venerable realm, which can precisely make up for what Heng Yi needs."

Xu Ba wang nodded, saying nothing. Powerful strange beasts that can serve as beast souls are traded in some places, but not in the Peak Sect Star System, as they are only needed by experts at the Heaven Venerable realm and above. Apart from the Five Leadership Stars and the Heaven Above, the quality of the beasts in other star systems is not high. The Snake Dragon Beast is quite valuable, and people like Hu Hai Sect's Hu San, who are at the Heaven Venerable realm, cannot afford it, as it is traded in purple crystals. Most experts at the Heaven Venerable realm use the most common soul beasts.

Those more precious ones are not easy to buy, as there are many people who need them. If Heng Yi has a stroke of luck in the future, he can get a better one and either replace or merge it. Starting with a Snake Dragon Beast is already better than many others.

"You shouldn't spend so much. The sect will cover the expenses."

"Hehe, thank you, Sect Leader. But Heng Yi is already my personal disciple, and it is my duty as a master to spend on him."

"Oh? You really like him, knowing that his cultivation will be limited in the future, yet you still take him as a personal disciple." Xu Ba wang was quite surprised. A personal disciple represents the honor and reputation of the Elder of the Bipolar Hall, with responsibilities and obligations different from ordinary disciples. They are responsible for life, and if they make a mistake, the Elder must also bear the consequences. If they cause trouble and flee, others will naturally seek retribution from the Elder of the Bipolar Hall.

"His character is rare. To put it bluntly, he surpasses the Sect Leader and me when we were young!" The Elder of the Bipolar Hall smiled leisurely, reminiscing about the past, which triggered Xu Ba wang to recall their various experiences and appearances when they were young...

Heng Yi left the Water Refinement Hell and returned to the tree house. In the book room, there was indeed a storage talisman.

It contained many books. Heng Yi picked one and activated the talisman, and immediately glowing text appeared on the talisman. As he read page by page, he became more and more engrossed.

Chen Zizai suddenly entered, but Heng Yi did not notice.

"Finish reading all these books!" Chen Zizai threw a stack of talismans, and Heng Yi then noticed his presence. "Brother Chen, the Elder also told me to read the General History of Human Civilization first. I am currently reading about the Yellow Emperor."

"Oh?" Chen Zizai glanced at the book and smiled. "The Elder and I are on the same wavelength, which shows that this is your top priority."

"Brother Chen brought so many books?" Heng Yi looked at the titles recorded on the talismans, none of which were the General History of Human Civilization, and none of which overlapped with the Elder's. He suddenly saw a talisman titled "A Thousand-Year Love" and was drawn to it. "It seems quite interesting."

Chen Zizai glanced at it and smiled. "This is one of the most famous love stories in the universe, comparable only to the eternal love of the Xind Civilization's War God Baiyun and the endless companionship of the human civilization leader Yi Yu and the Xind Civilization's God King Xind. However, the latter two are relatively calm and lack dramatic stories. This one is full of twists and turns, filled with loneliness and sorrow. It tells the story of the Soul Clan's Bu Jingshen, who, after his death, had his lover, the Soul Clan's Martial God July, search for a thousand years to find a way to revive him. Although most of the story is a combination of legends and fictional elements, the theme is true, and for a thousand years, no love story has surpassed it. It is a must-read, a must-know."

Heng Yi could not resist activating the talisman, and glowing text appeared before his eyes...

"The eternal founder god... Bu Jingshen... Martial God July..." Heng Yi muttered to himself, lost in thought for a moment.

In his dreams, from his childhood dreams, he had never forgotten the voices calling out to the eternal founder god...

"The Soul Clan's Bu Jingshen created the miracle of being assimilated by the Xind Civilization and then successfully breaking free and rebelling to gain independence. Therefore, many weak races in the universe call him the founder god, but you shouldn't take it too seriously. The only true god in the universe is the Dream True God. The various self-proclaimed gods of different races are just nicknames." Chen Zizai, fearing that Heng Yi would take it seriously, explained seriously and added, "However, Bu Jingshen is very powerful. The Soul Clan's constitution is the best in
