Chapter 65

Remember to bookmark 【↘→】 for a great reading experience. The ten-foot silver light screen disappeared, and the figures of Zhou Huo, the red-haired youth, Shen Yushu, and Nalan Yan also vanished. Ye Wuxian’s gaze slightly condensed, but he immediately reversed his body and bowed deeply towards the place where the silver sun was in the void.

"Thank you, Senior for your kindness!"

This bow was filled with Ye Wuxian’s heartfelt gratitude. He understood that if it weren’t for Ji Yuanyang’s silver light screen, which temporarily connected the two places, allowing him to see the situation of the others who had entered the Yuanyang inheritance, he wouldn’t have been able to save Sima Ao in time and keep him safe for a short period.

Throughout the journey, Ye Wuxian had already come to know Sima Ao very well, understanding that although he appeared proud, he was actually very loyal and would rather die than betray his friends.

Although their interaction was only for a very short time, Ye Wuxian had already guessed the purpose of the torture inflicted on Sima Ao by Zhou Huo and the red-haired youth.

Because on the square just now, Ye Wuxian did not see the three Mo sisters and Lin Yingluo at all; it seemed they had gone somewhere else.

Sima Ao, however, was severely injured and captured by the red-haired youth and forced to confess. The reason was clear: after entering the Yuanyang inheritance, Zhou Huo intended to eliminate the remaining five people. For some reason, the three Mo sisters and Lin Yingluo temporarily escaped, perhaps due to Sima Ao’s desperate resistance or for some other reason.

In short, the three Mo sisters and Lin Yingluo might have gone to a special place, and this place was what Zhou Huo was eager to know.

All these thoughts flashed through Ye Wuxian’s mind in an instant, but he quickly suppressed them. Ye Wuxian understood that to resolve these troubles, he needed to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Because neither the red-haired youth nor Zhou Huo was someone he could currently contend with.

To quickly enhance his strength, he could only pass the remaining two trials set by Ji Yuanyang.

"Hehe, Ye Wuxian, you don’t need to thank me. Well, I know you are short on time, follow me."

The silver sun trembled, and suddenly, a bright silver light shone. With Ji Yuanyang’s voice, the entire room began to shake!

A burst of silver light flashed before Ye Wuxian’s eyes, and he could no longer see anything else, but he could feel a strange, ethereal, and elusive aura.

"Is this the sign of spatial power being activated?"

"Buzz"

Feeling as if he was being moved through the void, Ye Wuxian realized that he had no resistance against the spatial power.

"Buzz"

The blinding silver light slowly dissipated, and above his head, the silver sun flickered in the void, emitting vast and boundless fluctuations.

After clearly seeing the situation before him, Ye Wuxian’s eyes narrowed, and he began to observe carefully.

Ten feet away from Ye Wuxian, everything was dark, except for a red stone platform similar to an altar ten feet in front of him.

"The second trial, the tempering of the divine soul."

The silver sun in the void trembled slightly, and Ji Yuanyang’s voice, with a hint of pride, continued: "Throughout my life, besides my cultivation, the power of the divine soul has also been a great help. Since my youth, my divine soul power has been incredibly thick. After condensing the soul moon and entering the seventh realm of the Washing Mortal stage, I had a certain encounter and obtained a combat technique for the divine soul. After practicing it, I finally achieved success, which is also the main reason I could eventually elevate my divine soul power to the divine consciousness level."

At this point, Ji Yuanyang paused, as if touched by some memories, but he quickly continued: "Ye Wuxian, the altar before you is something I obtained along with the cultivation technique for the divine soul. Its function is to help those with naturally thick divine soul power purify and condense their spiritual energy, so they don’t have to wait for their cultivation to break through to improve their divine soul power. However, the first condensation is extremely difficult and has a high failure rate. Only those with naturally thick divine soul power can even attempt it."

"However, you can sense the divine consciousness I hid in the three Yuanyang tokens, which means your divine soul power is naturally thick. Now, sit on this small altar and condense your divine soul power for the first time. If you succeed, it means you have passed the second trial. If you can reach a certain level, even if you fail the third trial, I will still pass the cultivation technique for the divine soul to you."

After saying this, Ji Yuanyang fell silent, and a faint silver light shot out from the silver sun, directly illuminating the small altar. Instantly, the entire small altar seemed to light up before Ye Wuxian’s eyes!

Hearing Ji Yuanyang’s words, Ye Wuxian felt a bit bitter. He understood that the reason he could sense the divine consciousness hidden in the three Yuanyang tokens was because of the existence of Kong, not himself.

Kong had said that although his divine soul power was good, it was not naturally thick enough to surpass others. In other words, without the existence of Kong, he would not have been able to sense the divine consciousness in the three Yuanyang tokens.

However, the second trial now required him to condense his divine soul power, and only those with naturally thick divine soul power could activate the altar. Even if he activated it, the failure rate for the first condensation was extremely high. Thus, Ye Wuxian realized that he might not be able to pass the second trial.

"Boom"

The small altar, which was entirely mottled and gray, began to rotate after Ji Yuanyang injected a faint silver light. As it rotated, four different-colored light beams, like flowing light, rose from the surface of the small altar, illuminating a three-foot radius around it.

Despite not being optimistic about himself, Ye Wuxian took a big step forward. No matter what, he had to try. Giving up directly was never his style.

"White, blue, purple, gold. The colors of these four light beams are the same as the four stages of the Hundred Cities Jade Seal. Never mind, this isn’t the time to think about these things. I’ll give it my all, and if I fail, it’s nothing."

Taking a big step to the side of the small altar, Ye Wuxian, at Ji Yuanyang’s indication, leaped up and sat cross-legged on the small altar.

A warm sensation spread from the stone altar beneath him throughout his body. The reason it was called a small altar was that it was only slightly larger than a regular cushion.

Sitting cross-legged on the small altar, Ye Wuxian saw the four light beams—white, blue, purple, and gold—each occupying a part of the small altar, surrounding him. However, the four light beams were dim, as if they lacked a soul.

"Embrace the unity, release your divine soul power, and inject it into the altar beneath you. Remember, once you start, you must do it in one go. If you stop halfway, it counts as a failure unless your divine soul power reaches its limit."

Ji Yuanyang’s voice, filled with a hint of expectation and encouragement, echoed in Ye Wuxian’s ears and then fell silent.

"Whoosh"

Taking a deep breath, Ye Wuxian closed his eyes, embraced the unity, and focused all his attention on his divine soul space.

"Buzz"

The divine soul space trembled, and a mysterious force within it, like a flowing stream, was controlled by Ye Wuxian. This mysterious force then rushed out of the divine soul space.

Guiding his divine soul power, Ye Wuxian held his breath and injected it into the small altar beneath him.

"Rumble"

The moment his divine soul power touched the small altar, Ye Wuxian felt it as if a stream had entered the sea. His divine soul space trembled, and a brilliant light filled his vision!

"Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz"

This was a place of extreme brilliance, ethereal and elusive. The divine soul power could explore all directions, more sensitive and useful than the eyes. Under the perspective of the divine soul power, Ye Wuxian saw a ten-foot-long transparent giant dragon spanning the sky in the center of the brilliant light!

Although it was transparent, the dragon’s claws, body, and head seemed to be sketched with a few light strokes, only lines without substance. From the perspective of the divine soul power, this dragon seemed soulless, like a dead object.

"Temper the divine soul power, fill the soul dragon’s body. White, blue, purple, gold, the rear claws, the winding body, the majestic head, the four colors complete, the soul dragon reborn, riding the clouds and mist, to enter the Savage Dragon Soul Hall..."

A resounding and strange voice echoed from the vast heights, passing through Ye Wuxian’s divine soul power. Instantly, Ye Wuxian understood the meaning of these words.

"Using my divine soul power to fill the soulless dragon with four colors; the dragon has four claws, starting from the rear claws, white, blue, purple, gold, perhaps similar to the four stages of the Hundred Cities Jade Seal, with white being the lowest, blue next, and gold the strongest, divided into four levels corresponding to the four colors. When the four colors are complete, reaching the final gold, the soul dragon can be reborn, riding the clouds and mist, to enter the Savage Dragon Soul Hall..."

Ye Wuxian quickly analyzed the meaning of these words, until he understood them clearly. Except for the Savage Dragon Soul Hall, which was still a mystery, everything else was clear in his mind.

"If my guess is correct, then..."

"Buzz"

With a thought, the divine soul power, like an arm, rushed up under Ye Wuxian’s control, heading towards the rear claw of the soulless dragon in the sky!

"Buzz"

Although the dragon’s claw was simply sketched with a few strokes, it was three feet in size. The divine soul power, like paint, followed the existing lines, filling in the color.

And the color of this paint was white!

"Buzz"

The divine soul power, rapidly injected by Ye Wuxian, quickly filled the originally simple lines, and a faint white color gradually appeared on the rear claw!

The dragon has four claws, two in front and two in back.

At this moment, the left rear claw became increasingly clear and lively, as if it had come to life after being filled with the divine soul power.

Soaring in the void, exploring all directions, in a flying posture, the rear claw was thoroughly filled with divine soul power, advancing towards a complete state.

"Roar"

A faint dragon’s low roar suddenly echoed, carrying a hint of joy, like the happiness of a newborn child, or the gratitude of a deceased person returning to the world.

"Whoosh"

At this point, one of the rear claws of the dragon in the sky was completely filled with divine soul power. Now, the dragon claw was no longer just a few simple lines, no longer transparent, but pure white, radiating light in the void, with a soul!

"Buzz"

However, Ye Wuxian was not happy but surprised, as he realized that after filling one rear claw, his divine soul power was already reduced by more than half, and the remaining divine soul power was not enough to fill the other rear claw!

Ye Wuxian now understood that only by completing both rear claws in one go would it be considered a successful activation. As for the standard for a complete first condensation, Ye Wuxian did not yet know.

But now, he no longer considered the standard for a complete first condensation. Ye Wuxian decided to use all his remaining divine soul power to fill the remaining rear claw.

Do your best, and leave the rest to fate!

"Buzz"

Under Ye Wuxian’s control, all the remaining divine soul power surged like waves, swirling in the void, transforming into a white, paint-like color and rapidly rushing into the remaining rear claw!

However, Ye Wuxian did not know that deep within his divine soul space, a young figure with an indistinct face stood calmly. This figure was tall and slender, and just standing there, it exuded a sense of loneliness that seemed to penetrate the ages, as if this person controlled time and space, condensed eternity, and was immortal, coexisting with the world.

This figure was Kong.

In front of Kong, high up, was a mass of infinite brilliance, radiating a white light. This light surrounded a one-foot radius, flickering in the void, emitting an extremely domineering aura.

But Kong’s gaze seemed to penetrate the white light, directly focusing on the inside, where countless golden lights were completely enveloped by the white light, unable to disperse and only gathered in one place.

"Indeed, it’s a memory seal. No wonder Wuxian’s divine soul power is only at thirty percent. To set such a seal, it seems Wuxian’s guardian has indeed reached that realm. Hmm?"

At this moment, Kong suddenly felt the divine soul space tremble.

"Wuxian’s divine soul power is exhausted."

Turning to look at the countless golden lights enveloped by the white light, Kong calmly extended his right hand.

White, slender, this hand was more beautiful than a woman’s, as if carved from white jade, gently reaching towards the white light.

"Buzz"

The moment Kong’s right hand touched the white light, the one-foot-wide light mass suddenly trembled. The white light, as if invaded, rapidly began to flow and surge, gathering an astonishing power!

"Ah"

A light sigh echoed, and Kong slightly exerted force, his right hand directly piercing through the white light, touching the countless golden lights!

"Buzz"

The white light suddenly trembled, and as if sensing something, it immediately froze, as if solidified, a scene no one could see.

No one saw that the memory seal set by Huangfu Huang was so easily penetrated by a hand.

"Whoosh"

Kong’s right hand, which had entered the white light, grabbed something and then withdrew. As his right hand passed through the solidified white light, the powerful light rays actively dispersed to the sides, allowing Kong’s right hand to slip through, like a subject meeting an emperor, a king meeting a sovereign!

This was a sign of respect, respect for the emperor and the sovereign!

"Only this much can be taken out for now, but I think it’s enough."

Kong, looking at his right hand covered in golden light, smiled and spoke. Then, he raised his right hand, and the golden lights from his right hand, like returning swallows, joyfully shot up and rapidly merged into the depths of Ye Wuxian’s divine soul space.

At the same time, Ye Wuxian felt that all his divine soul power had been injected into the remaining rear claw, leaving only a trace.

# Update (Fastest on

However, even so, the remaining rear claw, now filled with white paint, only occupied one-third of its total volume!

"Ah, did I fail?"

A voice filled with regret echoed, and Ye Wuxian felt that in three more breaths, his divine soul power would be completely exhausted.

"Buzz"

Just as Ye Wuxian was about to give up, his body, sitting cross-legged on the small altar, suddenly trembled, and a brilliant golden light shone behind his head!

"Ah? What’s happening?"

"Buzz"

The divine soul power, which had been completely exhausted, was now being rapidly replenished by a powerful divine soul power that suddenly appeared, like a drought being relieved by a timely rain!
