Chen Ping's Sword

[Body Refining: Tier Six (Late-Stage Unity Realm) 82.8%]

[Qi Refining: Tier Six (Mid-Stage Unity Realm) 47.5%]

[Spirit Refining: Tier Six (Early Stage of Manifest Saint) 5.2%]

...

This time, the greatest gain in soul refining is, of course, the enhancement of the divine soul.

Chen Ping estimates that in that secret realm, the power of the soul is easily externalized, and the power of the starry sky is also easy to obtain. In contrast, Qi and Blood and the power of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi are very difficult to sense and enhance.

Therefore, different paths have developed.

This is due to the underlying rules of a particular world.

Just like the world we are in, True Qi Martial Arts have become mainstream, which also proves that Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is very active, while Qi Blood Martial Arts are secondary. They can be sensed, they can be cultivated, but the cultivation process is relatively difficult.

As for the power of the divine soul, in this world, it is basically very difficult to sense.

Not only can’t individuals cultivate the spirit and soul, but even after death, a deceitful soul is mostly weak and feeble, without forming strong fierce souls and spirits.

From Fang Qingzhu, it’s known that to reach the Divine Martial Realm, the soul frontier is unavoidable, no matter what.

The Tripartite Unity is needed to solidify the True Form and forge the Dao Foundation.

Only then can it truly be called the Divine Martial Realm.

Because of the great difficulty, sometimes even within hundreds of years, it is rare to see one.

Therefore, martial artists of this level are basically hidden weapons of various forces and generally do not appear in the world.

Perhaps they have some constraints and would not proactively meddle in worldly disputes.

But, in Chen Ping’s view, as long as they exist, there is a threat.

Any agreements or constraints are falsehoods.

Some things one might not use, but cannot be without.

"Therefore, here with the True Martial King, one must speak with caution. Without breaking into the Divine Martial Realm, there is absolutely no way to unify the Southern Region. Otherwise, there might be unforeseen disasters."

Thinking about the current situation in Xingqing Prefecture.

Thinking about the foundation behind the opponent.

Chen Ping had a deeper understanding of the true situation of this world.

He quietly looked at a new drawing appearing at the entrance of the third floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower and pondered for a long while.

The lines drawn in this picture are abstract, but as long as the gaze touches it, it seems that one can sense the countless external celestial demons and the fierce beasts influenced by demonic intent as numerous as sands in the Ganges River within.

Of course, the slight flickering spiritual glow like candlelight in all directions in the picture is also indispensable.

That is the high being manifesting as a saint.

Although this world is still full of vibrant flowers and flaming prosperity, on a level unseen by ordinary beings, it has already been besieged by countless celestial demons.

As soon as any direction fails to hold, the world will turn into a void, desolate wasteland, cold and indifferent, where no life shadow can be found.

Chen Ping sighed, becoming increasingly worried about Han Xiaoru and others who are still within the picture.

Thinking for a while, he reached out and pressed on the picture, silently chanting the Three Lights Divine Spell in his mind.

All of a sudden, three points of mystical light within the picture suddenly shone brightly.

The lights before his eyes flickered into an illusion.

Three figures tumbled out.

Landing on the third floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

"Where is this place, Celestial Demon Illusion, eat my sword."

Han Xiaoru’s expression changed drastically, reaching onto her shoulder, her broadsword unsheathed, whipping up fierce winds ready to strike.

Chen Ping hurriedly pressed her shoulder: "Senior Sister, do you still remember the Three Lights Divine Spell? Quickly operate it."

He didn’t know what Han Xiaoru had experienced in that world or what Observation Technique she had learned, but regardless of any circumstances, since it reacted with his Three Lights Divine Spell, she presumably hadn’t forgotten this cultivation technique.

Words of the spell echoed in his mind.

Han Xiaoru finally calmed, and her tightened muscles relaxed.

Meanwhile, Ji Mingyue, who had just rushed into the shadows, with rays of moonlight appearing on her sword, also halted midair, with joy flashing in her eyes: "Seventh Brother, is that you... I’ve returned. Do you know how long it’s been? During my time in Senluo Green Castle, I forgot you, even forgetting myself."

While Ji Mingyue spoke, two voices sounded simultaneously, and a delicate phantom, dressed in a green sword skirt like a Valkyrie, floated above her head.

The impish phantom smiled gently, then merged into Ji Mingyue’s brow.

In the next instant, the Little Commandery Princess’s gaze became clearer and brighter, as if her cultivation had advanced greatly.

"Is this Soul Emergence?"

Chen Ping certainly recognized it.

He’d also been through this step; Soul Emergence is one of the Five Soul Refining Passes. Moving further leads to Divine Soul Manifestation, influencing external Star Elemental Power, and unleashing boundless might.

Though it didn’t match his own progress, being able to refine one’s soul to such a degree in a deluded state is considered quite exceptional.

After all, it was merely a span of three years.

"Carefully inspect to see if anything is forgotten, if there’s any soul damage?"

Chen Ping asked urgently.

This time, several of them ventured into the Heaven-Reaching Tower in search of fortuitous opportunities, but the dangers involved couldn’t be neglected.

He could assert that these three definitely didn’t clear the third level completely, leading to a loss of sense and needing him to awaken them to extricate parts of their souls invested in the All Heaven Floating Map.

Since they didn’t pass by themselves, he wasn’t sure if there would be any aftereffects.

"It’s okay, I feel better than ever."

This time it was Fang Qingzhu speaking.

After all, with over ten more years of training in the Three Lights Divine Spell than Han Xiaoru and Ji Mingyue, her soul was more robust. After being called back, she was very composed.

She quietly recalled her three years of experience in that world, giving a long sigh, seeming much more matured.
