Chapter 010: Soul Refinement

After successfully controlling the Nascent Soul, Yun Yang discovered that the Nascent Soul, which had been floating in the Purple Palace, was no longer disconnected from his physical body. Instead, there was a remarkable connection between them. Moreover, a white energy began to float in the Purple Palace. This energy was similar to the suspected celestial essence within the body of the scattered immortal, yet Yun Yang could distinctly sense their differences. However, he was not yet able to comprehend what those differences were.

Although the cultivation did not proceed according to the pre-prepared techniques, it clearly achieved the intended purpose. Under Yun Yang's control, the Soul Fire began to refine the entire Nascent Soul. Once the refining was completed, Yun Yang could slowly and stiffly control the Nascent Soul to perform some actions. Let us not forget that he had already done something similar when he first crossed over, so it can be said that he still has some experience.

With these thoughts in mind, Yunyang finally felt a renewed sense of hope for the days to come

First is the refining of magical artifacts. Since he was previously unable to mobilize the true fire within his Nascent Soul, as long as he can use the true fire from within the Nascent Soul to refine the magical artifacts, he will consider it a success. As for the other matters, they can be set aside for now.

Suddenly, Yun Yang recalled his peculiar primordial infant, and it seemed that the five colors within that primordial infant were indeed these five. Could it be?

After tidying up, Yun Yang decided to go out. Upon reaching the cave entrance, he discovered that the original opening had long been sealed by thick tree roots. Clearly, he had been in this cave for an unknown number of years. After cutting through the roots to exit, Yun Yang chopped down a tree at the entrance and counted its growth rings. To his astonishment, there were ninety rings, which was quite a waste of youth

After expelling the soul fire, the Taiji ball began to draw the soul fire back in, and then expelled it again. This back-and-forth process continued for several cycles. Eventually, the soul fire gradually transformed into a faint, colorful hue, while the yin-yang fish slowly diminished in size, ultimately bathing entirely in the soft, colorful soul fire.

After a bout of wild imagination, Yun Yang finally regained his senses; there are still matters to attend to

Yun Yang put away the flying sword and took out the Heavenly Luo Robe that he had extorted. Just as he was about to refine it, he suddenly remembered his Soul Fire, which also seemed capable of refining items. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used it to refine the Nascent Soul in the first place. However, due to the mistakes made along the way, he had yet to confirm whether this was true. Should he take this opportunity to prove it?

In the mind, the Taiji sphere suddenly reacted, emitting a burst of intense light that enveloped the entire primordial infant in an instant, wrapping all the soul flames outside. The yin-yang eyes of the Taiji sphere flickered, and then the strong light rapidly contracted, drawing Yun Yang's soul flame into the Taiji sphere. Following the rotation of the yin-yang fish within the sphere, the soul flame spread throughout the entire Taiji sphere. After absorbing the soul flame, the Taiji sphere continuously expelled the soul flame from its yin-yang eyes. At this moment, the soul flames were noticeably less pale and took on a hint of color. Then the strong light contracted again, and Yun Yang's soul flame was absorbed into the Taiji sphere, spreading throughout it in accordance with the rotation of the yin-yang fish. After absorbing the soul flame, the Taiji sphere continued to expel the soul flame from its yin-yang eyes, and the soul flames were clearly no longer as pale, but rather infused with color.

The final refinement of the Heavenly Net Garment was successful, and all the information regarding the Heavenly Net Garment, including the composition of the formation and the ratios of various materials used, was recorded in his mind. Of course, he did not recognize most of it, but this had already left him in a state of infinite shock; it was simply cheating. In the future, whatever he encountered, he could refine, and he would be able to master everything. However, for now, it was merely a thought.

Although it is said that the primordial infant can achieve an indestructible soul, this merely means that the soul can be housed within the primordial infant. The primordial infant is a refined essence formed through cultivation, capable of storing the soul, thereby achieving the goal of an indestructible soul. However, the soul itself remains formless

If this idea comes to fruition, it would be even more rewarding than winning the lottery, encompassing all five elements. In the future, what could one not learn? As a Loose Immortal, one would possess the strength to navigate through challenges effortlessly. Moreover, who would have thought that after achieving the status of a Loose Immortal, one could also gain an additional Nascent Soul? This is certainly not as simple as one plus one equals two.

Is it really the case that one's true fire possesses all five elemental attributes? That seems rather excessive

The Heavenly Robe is originally a low-grade spiritual artifact. After being refined with the Soul Fire, although its grade did not change significantly, it became exceedingly satisfactory to use. The Heavenly Robe encompasses several functions, the most fundamental of which is defense. It can withstand a full-force strike from a late-stage tribulation expert using an artifact of the same grade without sustaining any damage, indicating its considerable strength. However, in relation to the identity of Yun Yang, the Immortal, it seems somewhat inappropriate.

At the beginning, it was very successful; Yun Yang smoothly enveloped the entire Nascent Soul with the Fire of the Soul. However, just as he intended to control the Fire of the Soul for the purpose of refining, an unexpected incident occurred

Taking out the flying sword he had seized, Yun Yang began the ritual of refining it. Perhaps due to the extraordinary energy of his Five Elements True Fire, he succeeded in the refinement in a short time. Yun Yang immediately felt a connection between himself and the flying sword, and its attributes underwent significant changes, gradually displaying a faint multicolor. Moreover, as soon as he infused True Essence into the flying sword, it would instantly erupt with a dazzling multicolored sword light, seemingly possessing considerable lethality. The grade of the flying sword also showed a marked improvement, elevating from the original treasure grade to the top-grade treasure level. How wonderful it would be if it could reach the spirit weapon level, Yun Yang thought mischievously.

After an unknown period of time, Yun Yang finally became proficient in control. It was at this moment that he truly felt the power of his Nascent Soul, which was at least many times stronger than his previous Nascent Soul, that is, compared to his current body.

Cautiously, the Soul Fire scorched the Heavenly Robe, and Yun Yang realized that he seemed to be gradually entering the world of the Heavenly Robe. In his perception, the Heavenly Robe appeared to be infinitely magnified, and then every detail of the Heavenly Robe was imprinted in his mind, making everything extraordinarily clear.

In the midst of this, he was given some surprises, such as discovering that the power of his palm thunder was somewhat outrageous. After observation, he found that it might be related to the lightning symbol on his Nascent Soul, but he did not know the specifics of the matter.

Could it be? Yun Yang felt a stir in his heart, and upon careful examination, he realized that the five colors of his colorful true fire were indeed white, blue, black, red, and yellow

After refining the magical artifacts, Yun Yang practiced some basic spells, such as Palm Thunder and Sword Control Techniques, as well as fundamental Five Elements Circulation Techniques.

Having successfully cultivated the Soul Fire, Yun Yang felt more confident in this peculiar technique. After calming his excited emotions, he dedicated several days to familiarizing himself with the nature of the Soul Fire. Finally, after being able to control it well, he eagerly entered the process of soul refinement.

What excited him the most was still the Tai Chi ball in his primordial spirit's mind, as well as the successfully cultivated soul fire. Although he did not yet know the further uses of the Tai Chi ball, the soul fire was indeed remarkable.

Upon thinking of this, Yun Yang immediately experimented by summoning a small amount of Soul Fire, as who could predict what issues might arise

Looking at the flickering true fire in his hand, Yun Yang felt a wave of emotion; he could finally begin forging. At that moment, he suddenly noticed that the true fire in his hand was actually multicolored

In addition to its defensive capabilities, the Heavenly Robe possesses a rather peculiar attribute: rebound. As long as the attack power does not exceed its negative threshold, it can reflect more than 50% of the attack power back to the attacker, inflicting a certain amount of damage. Of course, this can only harm attackers who are in close proximity. Although it has its flaws, it remains a formidable challenge to defend against.

After making thorough preparations, Yun Yang began the soul refining process. According to the design of the jade slip, Yun Yang first needed to envelop the entire Nascent Soul with the fire of the soul, forming a thin layer of fiery surface. Then, he would slowly refine it from the outside in, treating this Nascent Soul as a magical treasure. During this process, any slight misstep could lead to unimaginable consequences; however, if successful, Yun Yang would achieve great fortune.

Yun Yang considered a possibility, which is that the attributes of his primordial spirit encompass all five elements and are also very balanced. Therefore, the attributes of his true fire would also become all-encompassing of the five elements, transforming it into a multicolored flame

After cultivating the Soul Fire, Yun Yang distinctly felt that the Soul Fire was the essence of his own soul, having transcended the limitations of the Nascent Soul. Now, his soul could exist independently of the Nascent Soul. Although he was not yet clear about the mysteries involved, he understood that this could only be a good thing

According to the methods he had previously learned, Yun Yang began to cultivate his energy. After a short while, flames erupted from his right hand, which was forming a spell. Initially, there was only a flicker of flame, which extinguished as soon as it appeared. However, as he continued his practice, he was gradually able to summon more and more true fire, with its color becoming increasingly vivid. Finally, when he could skillfully manipulate the true fire, he realized that he had truly succeeded, which was no small feat

Fortunately, his current physique is robust, so there is no need to worry about the energy of the Nascent Soul being too strong and causing accidents, such as body explosions or similar incidents

The process of refining the soul of the primordial infant is merely a concept found in that jade slip. After all, even the creator of this technique has never successfully cultivated two primordial infants, let alone the process of refining the soul of a primordial infant. Therefore, everything is fraught with danger. However, Yun Yang is a desperate person who has long ceased to care about life and death. The saying goes, the timid starve while the bold thrive; Yun Yang indeed has no reason to retreat. Thus, everything is fraught with danger. However, Yun Yang is a desperate person who has long ceased to care about life and death. The saying goes, the timid starve while the bold thrive; Yun Yang indeed has no reason to retreat.

At least we no longer have to worry about being bullied by any random person, damn it. Thinking back to the time when I was chased by Feng Yuzi to the ends of the earth makes me furious. Now, let's see who still dares to provoke us, hehe

With his strength and character, he could soar to great heights without restraint. If he does not strive to achieve something significant, how can he justify his rebirth? The only uncertainty lies in whether he can return.

Yun Yang's consciousness perception exists within the soul's fire itself. Engaging with the Taiji ball like this has left him quite bewildered. Fortunately, he can sense that each time he is absorbed into the Taiji ball, his soul's fire grows stronger. Eventually, after transforming into a colorful soul's fire, it is no longer the small flame it once was

Although the inner Nascent Soul has been successfully controlled, it is still necessary to verify the results. As for how to conduct the verification, it is quite simple; as long as one can mobilize the energy of the inner Nascent Soul, it can be considered a success

The practice of the Five Elements Circulation Technique has also been exceptionally smooth, perhaps due to the elemental attributes of my body, hehe

After a moment of reflection, Yun Yang finally calmed his emotions and began the examination

Yun Yang's consciousness exited the Nascent Soul, and he finally let out a sigh of relief. Up to this point, he had not yet reacted from the joy; it seemed that indeed, those who survive great calamities must have future blessings. Such an extraordinary event had actually occurred, indicating that his fate was indeed exceptional.

According to the introduction of the cultivation methods previously studied by Yunyang, the color of the true fire of general cultivators is usually fixed. Essentially, the color corresponds to the attribute: for instance, cultivators with a metal attribute typically have white true fire, those with a wood attribute have green true fire, water attribute cultivators possess black true fire, fire attribute cultivators have red true fire, and earth attribute cultivators exhibit yellow true fire. However, there has never been any mention of multicolored true fire.
