At the final moment when this perfect technique formed, an Illusory Realm naturally formed in the heart of Xue Ying.
It was vast and filled with endless life. At the same moment, it was hidden with fatal dangers.
Life and death. They were like two sides of a coin, entangled mutually. It made the entire realm all the more colorful as if death existed in life and darkness formed from lightness. This kind of entanglement resided across the entire Illusory Realm. Simply speaking, the core of the ‘operating laws’ for this Illusory Realm was these two aspects.
With a two-sided core, Xue Ying also fused other comprehension he had of the Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm into it.
Everything went smoothly.
“Hong long long~” The souls of every avatar of Xue Ying rang. A transformation was taking place currently. Their souls were becoming emptier and clearer. With this state of soul, Xue Ying would be able to deduce the same techniques with a faster speed targeted to the essence than before.
Not just that, with a more congealed soul, it would bring about a ‘qualitative transformation’ to his strength.
‘My soul.’
‘It feels powerful.’
‘It seems to be stronger than my fleshy body.’
Xue Ying had a powerful feeling of illusion as if his soul had reached a stage that could be fused into the origin of this world. As long as this world existed, his soul would exist alongside! Of course, this was a vague feeling. But there was still a gap missing between.
“Hu.”
Suddenly, within the Flying Snow Residence of High Mountain City, Xue Ying who had his eyes closed originally, abruptly opened them. His eyes became deeper.
The Qin Master Leng Xin and Imperial Wind Qing Yin were originally worried for Xue Ying as he had closed his eyes abruptly without responding to their words. But once they saw Xue Ying opening their eyes, they could not help but feel their souls falling into oblivion. It was as if they had seen the most enchanting eyes in this world, causing them to willingly become intoxicated for them.
‘My fleshy body.’ Xue Ying could feel cries of joy across his body. His soul actually unknowingly nourished his fleshy body, allowing it to develop towards a more perfect state.
This transformation of his fleshy body was a minor matter!
What Xue Ying focused more on was his soul!
‘My soul… this feeling…’ Xue Ying could sense the powerful origin of this Divine Realm through his soul. The origin of this world was cruder than that of any ‘Origin Worlds’. But it was much bigger. The soul was the most special energy any living being had. For instance, Blood Sacrifices could be carried out in the Realm Heart Great Land to refine the ‘Essence of Blood Spirit’. Some powerful souls could even be refined into Essence of Blood Spirit that had a much better effectiveness than absorbing the origin.
Clearly, the energy of the soul was similar to the energy of the origin of the world, albeit it was more special.
‘I could feel that I am just one step away from fusing into the origin of the world.’
The moment he did so, his soul would remain eternal as long as the origin of the world remained undamaged.
How frightful was this?
Even if a Chaotic Origin expert could control an Origin World! He could not destroy the origin of that world because that would cause the total annihilation of the entire Origin World!
‘Reaching the final realm in the Dao of Soul could actually enable me to reach this stage?’ Xue Ying thought.
He had just comprehended the third killing technique of the Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm.
This third killing technique perfectly fused the first killing technique, ‘Resplendent’ and the second killing technique, ‘Slaughter Illusory Realm’ together. Its power had also far surpassed the previous two techniques. This qualitative transformation made Xue Ying feel that he was incomparably closer to reaching the ‘final realm in the Dao of Soul’. Now that he had created this technique, he was just one strand away from the final realm!
‘It seems reaching the final realm in the Dao of Soul is vastly different from reaching the final realm in other ordinary paths.’ Xue Ying thought.
That’s right too.
After all, the foundation of life is the soul!
And the difficulty of cultivating the Dao of Soul is also much harder than cultivating other Daos.
…
“Mn?” Xue Ying looked around him. Within this hall, Imperial Wind Qing Yin, Qin Master Leng Xin, and the group of performing dancers and musicians had all fallen down.
‘It seems that I have unknowingly influenced them after breaking through.’ With a thought, Xue Ying sent out a wave that brought back the consciousness of those within the hall. They were even staring vacantly into space now.
Imperial Wind Qing Yin looked at Xue Ying with some daze: “Teacher, why, why have I fallen asleep?”
“It was because of me. I have unknowingly influenced all of you with my technique. Oh right, I am planning to enter closed-door cultivation for a period. If there is nothing important, don’t disturb me.” Xue Ying ordered.
“Yes, Teacher.” Imperial Wind Qing Yin acknowledged.
“Mn.”
Xue Ying nodded and immediately stood up. He gave a slight nod to Qin Master Leng Xin before leaving the place.
******
Within the meditation room.
Xue Ying carefully observed the transformation that had happened after his breakthrough. Firstly, it was his Chaotic Origin Refinement Body. It was originally unstable at the Middle Stage God Emperor level and could last for just an hour during battle. But now that his fleshy body had been nourished by his soul, making it more perfected, it actually increased his overall strength by 50%. The originally unstable state remained unstable as previously, just that there was a huge decrease in the consumption of his body strength. Thus, his body’s rate of recover could resist this consumption of strength.
In other words, he could persist in this state for eternity.
‘The influence of the soul on the fleshy body is merely done on the original foundation of the fleshy body, perfecting it further.’
‘And my Chaotic Origin Refinement Body is more on metamorphosizing and altering the essence of my body.’
Xue Ying understood that the soul merely nourished and improved the overall quality of his fleshy body. If he planned on cultivating his fleshy body to the ‘Half-Chaotic Origin Lifeform state’ and to become a Chaotic Origin expert, he still had to improve his understanding of the Dao of Void.
‘Just a bit more.’
‘This third Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm killing technique is just a bit away from the final realm.’ Xue Ying shook his head.
Because the previous two killing techniques were already very powerful.
And the third killing technique had another great boost to its strength! Hence, speaking from this perspective, it was relatively close to being a final realm technique.
But…
When a technique had not reached the final realm, it would mean it did not!
‘Final realm’ represented grand perfection!
Like when his Dao of Void reached the Level Two Cosmos God Realm, by relying on the supreme secret impartation, Xue Ying was able to exert strength comparable to a final realm expert. But this did not mean his technique had reached that realm qualitatively.
This third killing technique absorbed the essence from that thousand-eyed existence’s ‘gray eyes’ and ‘gold eyes’. Xue Ying even succeeded to fuse them together, forming a technique that was this powerful! Nonetheless, the overall profoundness behind the technique was lacking.
These slight flaws…
Prevented his soul from reaching grand perfection!
‘I was too engrossed at trying to pull the soul of an enemy into oblivion and to wipe out that enemy’s soul.’ Xue Ying thought. Because this third killing technique’s primary aim was to fuse the two previous killing techniques. Hence, before he succeeded, he had based this third killing technique on the previous two techniques.
‘This technique of mine is too extreme.’
Xue Ying understood what the problem was.
‘The next killing technique… will be the one that corrects this deficiency.’ Xue Ying thought, ‘At the same time when I create the fourth killing technique, I should be also be reaching the final realm in my Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm! I truly look forward to that day!’
******
After breaking through, Xue Ying reflected upon it and consolidated his strength.
This did not use up a lot of time actually. The reason why Xue Ying chose to enter closed-door cultivation is because after grasping the third Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm killing technique, Xue Ying planned on leaving High Mountain City once again.
“Hu.”
Xue Ying sat cross-legged. Waving his hand, a scroll appeared before him.
The scroll recorded details regarding ‘Dao of Void Chaotic Origin Lifeforms’. Xue Ying had paid the Heaven’s Will Pavilion in High Mountain City a visit to gather information on Ascendant Scriptures under the ‘Dao of Void’. He also visited to gather all relevant information on Chaotic Origin Lifeforms with the Dao of Void Lineage. In reality, he had already received useful information, just that he did not feel that it is the right moment to act upon it.
‘Iron Dragon City owns the corpse of a Dao of Void Chaotic Origin Lifeform!’ Xue Ying looked at what was recorded in the intelligence.
Every part of the body of Chaotic Origin Lifeforms was the manifestation of laws.
Some Chaotic Origin Lifeforms only had minor parts of their bodies manifesting the Dao of Void. Those lifeforms were not really helpful to Xue Ying.
Instead, Chaotic Origin Lifeforms with the ‘Dao of Void Lineage’ represented creatures that specialized in Dao of Void techniques. An absolute majority of the laws manifested on their bodies were part of the Dao of Void Lineage. This was also what Xue Ying sought. It’s just that Chaotic Origin Lifeforms with a Dao of Void Lineage is rarely seen.
‘Iron Dragon City Master is ranked seventh on the God Emperor Ranking List.’ Xue Ying thought.
Those with power of a Supreme numbered more than 30 in this world!
Iron Dragon City Master was ranked seventh! He had five children and all of them had been nurtured to the God Emperor level. Naturally, only the Crown Prince is a Late Stage God Emperor! The strength of the sect under Iron Dragon City Master was an entire level higher than that of Hidden Willow Valley Master’s sect.
‘If I could get the Dao of Void Lineage Chaotic Origin Lifeform corpse kept by Iron Dragon City Master, it’ll be greatly helpful to me.’ Xue Ying thought. The intimidation power of Iron Dragon City Master was too big. He had never thought of snatching it over. Instead, he wanted to try and conduct a trade for it. Even still, he only waited until he created the third Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm killing technique before he chose to act.
