Researching Soul Secret Techniques

Above Jupiter, Xu Qing and the Golden Horned Behemoth faced each other from afar.

"Brother-in-law, I'm here." Xu Qing unfurled the Azure Cloud Bow in his hand, golden Origin Force flowing, and a golden arrow condensed, clanging loudly.

The rich power of the Origin Law of Gold flowed, subtly transforming into patterns that were imprinted on the arrow shaft, making the arrow's aura incredibly tough and sharp.

Roar!

The roar of a tiger shook the heavens, and a phantom of a White Tiger appeared on the arrow, its body covered in golden stripes, radiating an aura of power.

This was the first arrow, so Xu Qing used the Origin Law of Gold. Luo Feng had also comprehended the Origin Law of Gold, so this attack would be relatively weaker for him.

"Come on," the Golden Horned Behemoth nodded.

Sizzle!

Golden arrow light burst forth, illuminating space and distorting the void, leaving faint golden traces.

They looked like golden, leaf-like spots, dotting the void.

"This arrow's energy fluctuations reached the Universe Level 7," Babata detected.

Luo Feng's Golden Horned Behemoth glowed, its massive hooves raised, and the power of its domain and the power of the Origin Law of Gold surged forth as it cleaved towards the arrow of light.

Boom!

A burst of golden light erupted, like a star exploding, the dazzling golden light sweeping in all directions, turning even the meteorites floating in the universe into dust.

An explosion rang out, and Luo Feng's Golden Horned Behemoth was blasted away, blood splattering from its hooves.

"Hiss, so powerful!" Luo Feng was surprised. He didn't expect that even with the power of the Origin Law of Gold, Xu Qing still couldn't gain the upper hand.

This is understandable, as Xu Qing's domain has already reached the ninth level, the pinnacle, and his comprehension of the Origin Law of Gold is far superior to Luo Feng's.

Roar!

The next second, a deafening roar erupted, and six White Tiger appeared in the void, each several hundred meters in size, looking like giant golden meteors, staggering as they hurtled towards them.

Clearly, Xu Qing has fired another arrow.

"You Xiao Qing, so this is how you play, huh?" Luo Feng focused intently, then flapped his wings, transforming into a Golden Flowing Light as he charged toward the six White Tiger.

These White Tiger are not illusions, but rather the Divine Aspect of Xu Qing, appearing as real living beings that will launch attacks against enemies.

Luo Feng's Golden Horned Behemoth clashed with the six White Tiger, their blows landing with brutal force, their Origin Law colliding, and their Origin Law clashing.

Thirteen minutes later, Luo Feng defeated the last White Tiger.

"Xiao Qing's Divine Aspect are simply miraculous," Luo Feng exclaimed, almost believing he was fighting a real White Tiger.

"Indeed, I've never heard of such a secret technique in the universe," Babata agreed.

Xu Qing flew over, saw Luo Feng covered in claw marks, and laughed rather unkindly.

"Xiao Qing, your Divine Aspect is quite interesting. It should be related to your mental will, right?" Luo Feng recalled the fighting patterns of those White Tiger, which were similar to those of humans.

Rather, it was more accurate to say that six Xu Qing resembling White Tiger were fighting him together.

Hearing Luo Feng say this, a strange light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. "Not bad, brother-in-law, you could even see that. That's right, this Divine Aspect is also combined with my spiritual will, which is why it can be maintained for so long."

"As expected, this Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path can be considered a top-tier secret technique that you created yourself," Luo Feng exclaimed.

He paused, then asked, "Xiao Qing, how many Divine Aspect can you distinguish?"

"The maximum is eight, because it's the Ba Shen Forms. More wouldn't be interesting anyway. It's just for fun. It's still archery, mainly for offense," Xu Qing said, shrugging.

Luo Feng's eye twitched; this kind of Divine Aspect was just something to play with.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Just like Xu Qing said, archery is the foundation, and the pursuit is for the ultimate attack power.

"Doesn't that mean you haven't used your full strength yet, Xiao Qing?" Luo Feng glanced at him sideways.

Xu Qing chuckled, "How could that be? I'm just playing around with you, brother-in-law. It's about 70%, maybe 80% for the first arrow."

Luo Feng nodded; it was pretty much what he thought.

After all, Xu Qing still had the Origin Law of Space to use, otherwise the power would have been much greater.

"Xiao Qing, you should try melee combat occasionally. If you don't use your Blood Soul Spider Silk now, you'll have fewer opportunities to use it in the future," Luo Feng said after thinking for a moment.

"Brother-in-law, just tell me you don't want me to shoot you with arrows anymore, and you want me to confront you head-on," Xu Qing saw through his little scheme at a glance.

Luo Feng nodded. "That's right. You're just playing with a bow and arrow, while everyone else is just getting beaten up. Why don't you practice close combat with me?"

"That would have to be your Earthling Clone, brother-in-law. How am I supposed to fight you in close combat if you're not this big? Unless you can shrink to within fifty meters," Xu Qing rolled his eyes.

"That's true, the Golden Horned Behemoth Beast is just too big," Luo Feng nodded.

Although he has now completed the first level of the <World of the Original Body> cultivation, he can only shrink it by three times, and it is impossible for him to shrink it to fifty meters in size.

He could only do this if he completed the entire cultivation of the <World of the Original Body>.

"Then go back and train with my Earthling Clone," Luo Feng said.

"Okay, let's talk about it when I get back," Xu Qing agreed. Anyway, whenever he shot arrows, only he was happy; no one else was.

So it's better to just play with Blood Soul Spider Silk in your spare time.

His current Spiritual Force level has reached the Stellar Level Seven, only two levels lower than the Warrior level.

Most importantly, his Mental Power Amplitude has reached the Perfect Level, which is one hundred, meaning he can unleash one hundred times the power at any time.

Mental Power Amplitude of one hundred is already the upper limit of the basic level; to improve further, one must rely on secret techniques.

In other words, it means cultivating the soul. When the soul becomes stronger, mental power can continue to increase, and the amplitude will break through the limit.

However, Xu Qing doesn't quite understand soul cultivation yet, and he needs to find some secret methods of soul cultivation to study.

"Brother-in-law, I'm leaving. You can keep gnawing on the metal," Xu Qing waved and turned to leave.

Luo Feng shook his head, turned around, and returned to the underground of Jupiter.

"Eldest brother, second brother, brother-in-law, a future Universe Level powerhouse has arrived! Why aren't you coming out to greet him?" Xu Qing landed on the castle's rooftop.

Luo Feng remained expressionless, after all, he already knew that Xu Qing had just broken through to the ninth level of the Star Level.

Hong and Thor were astonished, "Universe Level! Fourth Brother, you've broken through!"

They are now at the Star Level 4 of the Star Level, respectively, which is already the result of their hard work in cultivation.

"Well, I'm currently at the ninth level of the Star Level, which is roughly equivalent to the Universe Level, so worship me and you can also share in my good fortune," Xu Qing said, spreading his arms wide.

Everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes. When did you become such a charlatan?

It's Star Level 9, fine. Why insist on rounding Star Level up to Universe Level? It's far from that.

"Sigh, I was hoping you could share in the joy, but you guys are so unappreciative. You've really wasted my good intentions," Xu Qing said, shaking his head.

The three of them remained silent, simply watching him perform.

"Let's not talk about it anymore, have a glass of juice," Xu Qing said, sitting down when they didn't react.

Seeing how quickly he changed his expression, Luo Feng and the others were used to it. When it came to being shameless, no one could compare to Xu Qing.

"Babata, do you have any secret methods for cultivating the soul? Give me any one, I'll study it," Xu Qing asked it.

Babata asked in surprise, "Didn't you say you weren't going down the path of Spirit Controller? Why are you still practicing secret techniques of the soul?"

"Let's investigate. The Mental Power Amplitude has reached its limit. Let's see if we can break through this limit," Xu Qing said.

"You mean, your Mental Power Amplitude has reached one hundred?" Babata asked, intrigued.

Xu Qing nodded. "Yes."

"You said you didn't want it before, but now you're asking me for it again. Tsk tsk, people like that..." Babata teased him deliberately.

Xu Qing remained calm and pretended not to hear, betting that Babata would definitely give it to him.

"Alright, I'll give you a Soul Secret Technique to study. Maybe you can actually discover something interesting," Babata said, believing in Xu Qing's talent.

Then, Babata passed the <Void Tower> to Xu Qing.

This is a Soul Defense Secret Technique. Once mastered, it can resist mental attacks and protect the soul from being destroyed.

Luo Feng had already cultivated this Soul Secret Technique.

"Thanks, Babata," Xu Qing chuckled.

"Now you know how good I am, this was originally a closely guarded secret of Black Ink Star," Babata said, arms crossed.

Xu Qing nodded, "I understand, I understand. Babata is a good person, a really good person."

"Come on, you twist the meaning of what you're saying," Babata rolled her eyes at him.

"I'm outta here," Xu Qing said, waving goodbye as soon as he saw that nothing else was going to happen.

Everyone shook their heads and made a lot of noise.

Back home, Xu Qing began to study the Soul Secret Technique <Void Tower> given to him by Babata. This was a defensive secret technique that used Spiritual Force to build a tower around the soul.

Upon reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, he will construct a seven-story pagoda. At that point, even Immortal Level powerhouse will be unable to harm his soul.

"Babata said that the soul is the foundation of a person, because when one cultivates to a certain level, the soul can survive even without the body, and in particular, it can possess another body."

"That doesn't seem quite accurate. The soul can't exist alone for long; it still needs a physical body as a support. So, while the soul is important, the physical body is just as important," Xu Qing pondered.

However, relatively speaking, the soul is more important than the body; it is the core of a life.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the physical body is the hands and feet of the soul.

In the universe, only energy-based life forms lack a soul.

"If the physical body is strong, it can bear stronger Spiritual Force, so naturally it can also bear a stronger soul," Xu Qing thought.

His Warrior level has reached the Universe Level, but his Spiritual Force is still at the eighth level of the Star Level, which is a step behind.

Does this mean that his Spiritual Force, his soul, is not compatible with his current physical body, and is lagging behind?

"Yes, the physical body and soul should be matched. The reason for the mismatch is a problem caused by cultivation. Warrior focus more on genetic Origin Energy, while Spirit Controller focus more on mental power, which breaks the balance."

"The way of nature lies in balance. The body and soul should also be in balance. Since the balance was broken by cultivation, it should be restored or even maintained through cultivation."

"Only when a state of balance is achieved can a person's physical body and soul be considered perfect and flawless, like the yin and yang of Heaven and Earth, which remain in balance even though they are constantly changing," Xu Qing's eyes shone brighter and brighter.

The more he thought about it, the more interesting it became.

Xu Qing quickly became engrossed in the story.

Before they knew it, eight months had passed quietly, and it was now the end of 2065.

Outside the gym, Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo watched Xu Qing sitting cross-legged, motionless, his black hair reaching his waist.

"Strange, this is the first time Xiao Qing has been in seclusion for so long, it's already the ninth month," Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo exchanged a glance.

If they hadn't sensed that Xu Qing was doing well, they would have worried Xu Qing something might have gone wrong with his cultivation.

"I must say, Xiao Qing looks quite pretty with her long hair. Let's take a picture to remember it," Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo said, taking out their phones and snapping photos.

"Haha, we'll show it to our kids then," the two said, laughing as they took many photos.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a strong mental fluctuation emanated from Xu Qing.

A point of colorful light appeared between his eyebrows, continuously spreading out a halo, like Aurora borealis, instantly illuminating the area.

It was like a colorful sun rising, its light dazzling.

Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo both felt as if they were stuck in a quagmire, unable to move their bodies, and even their thoughts became slow.

The intense light came and went quickly, and the discomfort soon disappeared.

Brush!

Xu Qing opened his eyes, which shimmered with colorful light, and then burst into laughter, "A genius like me, number one in the universe!"

Seeing Xu Qing laugh out loud, Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo reached out to pinch his cheeks, "What are you laughing at? You've even called him the number one in the universe?"

"Uh... you guys are here too," Xu Qing said, finally snapping out of her daze, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Oh my, even Xiao Qing feels embarrassed?" They both laughed.

Xu Qing coughed lightly, "Just kidding, what's there to be embarrassed about? Let me tell you, your husband is incredibly strong right now."

"Okay, okay, go take a shower first, you stink," the two urged.

"Really?" Xu Qing sniffed it, but there was no smell at all. Besides, how could a powerful Star Level expert possibly have a bad odor?

Xu Qing rolled her eyes at them and went into the bathroom.

Seeing that his hair had grown quite long, Xu Qing was somewhat surprised. "How long have I been cultivating?"

After quickly cutting her hair, Xu Qing changed her clothes and came out. "How long has it been?"

"Nine months," Qin Lin told him.

"Nine months? That's a long time," Xu Qing rubbed his chin, it seemed he had been too deeply immersed in his cultivation this time.

However, it was all worthwhile. He analyzed and combined the Soul Defense Secret Technique <Void Tower> given to him by Babata, and developed a soul cultivation secret technique that suited him.

That secret method of soul cultivation was extremely similar to the Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path, so he named it the Eight Divine Soul Refining.

Alternatively, it can be called the Eight Divine Soul Refining Array or the Eight Divine Soul Refining Diagram.

It uses the power of the Origin Law to protect the souls of the Ba Shen, while simultaneously refining and polishing them, much like an array that is constantly in operation.

In this way, Xu Qing's soul will become increasingly pure and powerful under the tempering and polishing of the power of the Origin Law.

Furthermore, at a certain stage, the soul undergoes a qualitative change and achieves evolution.

This is similar to Warrior's training. The improvement of level is a quantitative change, while the leap to a higher realm is a qualitative change and a leap in the level of life.

Now, Xu Qing's soul can do the same.
