An Innate Soul was formed within a martial artist's mother's womb. Once the martial artist was born, the strength of the Innate Soul was already fixed and could not be strengthened through later cultivation.
Under normal circumstances, once a martial artist's cultivation broke through to the Soul Sea Realm, the continued growth of their Soul Power could slowly and subtly strengthen their Innate Soul over time.

Ye Zhen was so frightened by the sight before him that his liver trembled.
Though it was his own Innate Soul
