Building the Divine Palace with Primal Chaos Qi
Within the Heavenly Tomb, time flows relatively slowly. Therefore, after learning the method for breaking through to the Soul Realm, Xiao Yuan decisively decided to begin the breakthrough directly.
Having made up his mind, Xiao Yuan no longer hesitated. With Xiao Xuan and the Purification Lotus Demon Saint protecting him, and being in this Heavenly Tomb, even the Hun Tiandi could not affect his breakthrough.
With his eyes closed, Xiao Yuan moved his mind and arrived before his soul sea. At this moment, his soul sea was like a tiny point of light, gently floating, emanating a vast wave of soul power.
Xiao Yuan focused his mind on the point of light. With a thought, the vast soul power within his sea of consciousness contracted at an astonishing speed. In just a few breaths, all the soul power within his sea of consciousness transformed into a sphere of soul power the size of a human head. This sphere was almost tangible, with a surface as smooth as a mirror, but the terrifying fluctuations within it were enough to make even Eight Star Dou Sheng powerhouse tremble with fear.
When this compression reached its limit, the sphere of soul power suddenly trembled rapidly. Then, the surface of the sphere began to crack, and cracks spread out, silently shooting out beams of destructive light.
When that beam of light reached its peak, it was like a blazing sun rising from the sea of consciousness. Then, a wave of destruction swept outwards, and the sea of consciousness exploded completely! Bang! Xiao Yuan's body trembled wildly at this moment. His sea of consciousness exploded, and the soul power within it surged out like a tidal wave.
Xiao Yuan endured the excruciating pain in his mind and hurriedly gathered the soul power that had become extremely violent after losing the restraint of his soul sea. If such terrifying soul power were allowed to run rampant in his body at this time, even with his Dragon Phoenix body, his body would probably be torn to pieces.
The Life and Death Heavenly Talisman and Death and the Golden Heavenly Flames also appeared at this moment, completely surrounding the soul power. With flashes of light, they managed to prevent the soul power from getting out of control.
Xiao Yuan was also extremely nervous at this moment. His soul sea of consciousness was now shattered, and he could not continue to restrain his soul power like this. If he could not create another "soul sea of consciousness", then his soul power would go out of control and dissipate along with his essence and spirit, and he would suffer an unparalleled blow.
Although the situation was urgent, Xiao Yuan was someone who had experienced life and death, so he did not panic at all. With a thought, he began to gather the soul power together, just as he had done before when he controlled the soul power to condense the divine palace in his soul sea.
A vast amount of soul power surged and then slowly converged. At this moment, the soul power flowed like liquid, and in its outline, it seemed that the prototype of a divine palace was quietly taking shape.
Under Xiao Yuan's meticulous manipulation, the soul power began to gradually perfect the countless steps of the divine palace. However, this project was obviously extremely massive, and even with Xiao Yuan's abilities, it would take a long time. Fortunately, Xiao Yuan was currently in a state of quiet cultivation, and no one would disturb him in this place. Otherwise, if the soul power were to go out of control, it would be quite serious.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. The divine palace gradually took shape, majestic and imposing, with a magnificent and ever-changing atmosphere, as if it were the abode of the gods.
Xiao Yuan focused his mind on the forming divine palace, and his heart was filled with overwhelming joy. Then, with a thought, his vast soul power surged into the divine palace like a tide.
However, as soon as the soul power surged into it, Xiao Yuan's ecstatic joy suddenly turned to ice, because he suddenly realized that the soul power in this divine palace did not show any signs of forming a cycle or spontaneously generating.
In the past, as long as soul power entered the sea of consciousness, it was like a bird returning to its nest, and there would be a sense of peace. However, now, that feeling has completely disappeared.
Clearly, this divine palace has not achieved the effect of replacing the soul's sea of consciousness at all!
In this way, Xiao Yuan would have to tightly control these soul powers to prevent them from dissipating. But in doing so, he would never have the strength to do anything else. In other words, he would be tethered to his own soul power! Cold sweat poured down Xiao Yuan's back as he stared at the divine palace, wondering what was still missing.
Why can't the divine palace that is formed replace the sea of consciousness?
Xiao Yuan's mind raced. He vaguely sensed that the Divine Palace seemed to be missing something crucial, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
Time passed slowly, but Xiao Yuan was still clueless. His heart sank slightly. If this continued, things might get really bad!
For Xiao Yuan, there was actually no way to break through to the soul realm. Although he knew that one must rebuild after breaking through, he did not know how to rebuild.
The Divine Palace Realm is indeed a known path. However, Xiao Yuan could sense that breaking through and establishing anew was indeed a method to break through to the Divine Palace Realm, but the problem now was that he was missing a crucial element! Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yuan closed his eyes tightly, cold sweat dripping down his body. His overall condition was clearly not right.
Both Purification Lotus Demon Saint and Xiao Xuan's eyes narrowed upon seeing this, but neither of them panicked.
With their experience and perspective, they could naturally see that although Xiao Yuan's current state was not right, it was not terrible, and there was still some time left.
"Do you think our soul power has really broken through to the Emperor Realm? Compared to the Dou Di, the strength of the Emperor Realm Soul seems somewhat insufficient."
Xiao Xuan hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask.
"It should be the Emperor Realm. Only the Emperor Realm can achieve that near-immortal and indestructible soul state. But perhaps our Emperor Realm is not the Emperor Realm of the Primordial Era?"
Purification Lotus Demon Saint also had this feeling, but he was more inclined to believe that although he was at the Emperor Realm, he was weaker because, like those who broke through to the Dou Di, he lacked a crucial element.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, Five-Colored Scroll unfolded in Xiao Yuan's mind, and then it actually drew up the six qi in his body's Qi Mansion and raised them to his soul sea. Then the six qi merged and transformed into a wisp of qi of chaotic color.
The chaotic energy descended upon the divine palace, and then the palace erupted with a clear cry. In that instant, the seemingly lifeless palace appeared to come alive, its surface shimmering with light, radiating a vibrant energy and a sense of life burgeoning.
Rumble.
Soul power surged within the divine palace, seemingly gradually forming a rudimentary cycle. Moreover, Xiao Yuan could sense that as the divine palace took shape, his soul seemed to exist not only within the divine palace in his mind, but also within his Qi Mansion, where Spirit Absorption!
As the soul's power surged, it merged and converged with the six energies in the Qi Mansion, then rose up into the Divine Palace, gathered together, and transformed into chaotic energy, entering the Divine Palace.
Xiao Yuan also began to feel that the soul power that had been integrated with the chaotic energy was gradually undergoing earth-shattering changes.
That was a true transformation.
Xiao Yuan had an epiphany, and his mind gradually calmed down. He quietly guarded the Divine Palace, letting his soul power flow up and down. He could sense that when his soul power was fully transformed, perhaps the Divine Palace would be able to truly replace his soul sea! However, that seemed to require a very long time, and Xiao Yuan did not lack that time.
He only needs to quietly await the day of his rebirth.
Seeing that Xiao Yuan's condition had mysteriously stabilized, Xiao Xuan and the Purification Lotus Demon Saint exchanged a glance, both of them showing a look of relief.
It seems that Xiao Yuan's cultivation is no longer a problem; now all that's left is to wait!
A year later, Xiao Yuan no longer emitted any Dou Qi or soul power. He was just like an ordinary person, so weak that anyone could ignore him.
Only those with extremely keen senses can vaguely perceive the astonishing brilliance hidden beneath what appears to be ordinary and unremarkable.
On this day, Xiao Yuan's figure suddenly trembled slightly, and his clothes instantly turned into powder and scattered down.
Just as the clothes turned to dust, the figure's eyes, which had been closed for a whole year, finally opened gently at that moment.
Those eyes were as black as night, without any fluctuation, yet even in this calmness, the small world within the Heavenly Tomb seemed to tremble slightly under the gaze of those eyes.
Awakening from that long period of cultivation, he was momentarily dazed, but then his eyes began to clear. He looked down and saw that he was naked, so he immediately used his Dou Qi to condense a set of white clothes, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Is this the Divine Palace Realm?"
Xiao Yuan muttered to himself. He could feel that he had entered a terrifying realm, a realm he had never touched before.
He had a feeling that he was now fearless even if he faced super strong people like Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan!
This is the power that the Divine Palace Realm possesses, and the confidence it gives him!
Xiao Yuan closed his eyes slightly, and with a thought, he saw a divine palace, shimmering with divine light, floating quietly between his brows. Within that palace, endless soul power roared and danced. This soul power now presented a faint chaotic light, a change that occurred after the fusion of the six energies into one, condensed into the Primal Chaos Qi. It was this subtle change that made the soul power seem to undergo a metamorphosis.
Opening his eyes, Xiao Yuan slowly stood up, his hands clenching involuntarily. In the past year, although he had focused most of his attention on condensing the Divine Palace, his internal Dou Qi had also improved somewhat. However, at his level, a year of hard work in cultivating Dou Qi was not enough to break through his level.
"It's been over a year since I came in, and more than two months have passed outside. I hope nothing bad has happened since I suddenly disappeared for so long."
Xiao Yuan suddenly remembered that he was supposed to go to the Thunder Clan on business, but he didn't expect it to take so long. He shook his head with a headache.
"Congratulations, you are now standing at the top of this continent."
The Purification Lotus Demon Saint, dressed in white, smiled and offered her congratulations.
"I have to thank my senior for his guidance, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to break through."
Xiao Yuan said with a smile.
"It's still your own good fortune. I only gave a brief introduction of myself. The fact that you were able to succeed in trying to break through is still due to your own efforts."
"Purification Lotus Demon Saint said with a smile."
"Hmm, your Five Elements Qi Palace Secret Method is indeed not simple, but unfortunately it is completely useless to most people. It seems to be tailor-made for you."
Xiao Xuan sighed from the side.
"By the way, now that you've finished your cultivation, you should set off. Something happened during your seclusion."
But soon, Xiao Xuan's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice.
Central State.
Less than three months had passed since the demonic fire descended upon the world, and Xiao Yuan's defeat of Yao Wangui quickly caused a great uproar in Central State.
It is said that the Yao Clan once sent out Yao Wanhuo, the strongest person under the clan leader.
Everyone originally thought that the Starfall Pavilion would hand over the kidnapped Yao Clan genius.
However, when Yao Wanhuo went to the Starfall Pavilion, he was told that everything could only be discussed in detail after Xiao Yuan came out of seclusion. After returning empty-handed, everyone realized that Starfall Pavilion seemed to have developed extremely terrifyingly quietly!
However, just as everyone in Central State was talking about this matter with great interest, a piece of news that shook the continent quietly spread from who-knows-where: the Shi Clan, one of the Ancient Eight Clans, had once again mysteriously disappeared, following the Spirit Clan! In an instant, everyone vaguely felt a strangeness shrouding Central State.
The Shi Clan, one of the Ancient Eight Clans, may not have the same formidable reputation as the Soul Clan Ancient Clan, but none of the Eight Clans are simple creatures. Moreover, the Shi Clan has always maintained a low profile, and there are few rumors about them in the Central State. However, being low-key does not mean being weak. On the contrary, the Shi Clan is quite formidable in battle, at least much stronger than the Spirit Clan, the first to disappear. Their clan is also full of powerful individuals and has a very strong foundation.
However, such a powerful force with extremely solid foundations mysteriously disappeared overnight, a situation that sends chills down one's spine just by thinking about it.
The Shi Clan's disappearance mirrored that of the Spirit Clan. Both vanished when the space suddenly closed before they did, and when it reopened, the millions of their people and descendants were completely wiped out, not a single one remaining! Waves of powerful figures from all sides entered the Shi Clan's space and, gazing upon the lifeless silence, felt a chill creep up their spines. What terrifying existence could possibly have wiped out millions of people? And among these millions were the Shi Clan's top experts—people who, in the Central State, could shake the heavens and earth with a single stomp. Yet, even with these powerful figures, the Shi Clan was utterly eradicated from the world!
The disappearance of the Shi Clan swept across the entire Central State like a whirlwind. All forces were stunned by this shocking news. Some perceptive individuals vaguely sensed something amiss. These Ancient Race were all incredibly powerful, having stood for thousands of years. Yet, in less than ten years, two races had vanished into thin air. Once could be a coincidence, but twice was truly suspicious. Moreover, the methods used to eliminate the two races were exactly the same, making it clear that the culprit behind the erasure of the Spirit Clan and the Shi Clan was likely the same person or the same force!
