Seven Souls Transformation, Kidney Fire Emerges!

Amidst the tremors, the Voidified Mud rolled like mercury, dense and impermeable, revealing nothing of its interior. But as soon as Qiu Yan's Divine Soul arrived, the round surface rippled and undulated, and after a churning, Crow flew out from within!

Instantly, the air currents swirled, and gusts of Black Wind arose.

Power Soul!

As it rushed out, it seemed to be affected by the Ethereal Mud, its phantom image of Power Soul was noticeably dimmed, swaying precariously like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to vanish at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Yan didn't say much. With a thought, he attached himself to the crow's Divine Soul, and then the Crow Power Soul began to fluctuate and completely dissipated!

Ten Divine Sense intertwined and flew out, contacting and combining with the scattered Power Soul, reorganizing it. However, this reorganization was not simply a restoration to the form of Crow, but rather, under the guidance of the Divine Sense's intent, it brought out a deeper concept.

Qiu Yan's Power Soul originated from the Crow Demon he killed when he was trapped in the temple. After being refined into Power Soul, it has many uses. It can make people as light as a swallow or ride the Black Wind. It is no less powerful than ordinary Life Cultivation Method.

However, since it originated from a demon, even though all impurities have been removed and only Divine Ability remain, its future development is limited by the Original Edition demon's capacity, which invisibly affects its future progress in Life Cultivation.

Originally, Qiu Yan planned to nurture himself for forty-nine days, first stepping into the Third Realm of Life Cultivation, and then combining his own insights and Cultivation Method to slowly transform the seven Soul Shadow, laying the foundation for his future.

Now, the threat posed by the Void-Driving Dao Lord has given him an opportunity.

Through external dangers and pressures, the potential of the Soul Shadow itself is awakened, and then the internal and external forces combine to break the stable structure of the Soul Shadow, thereby reorganizing it.

After dissipating, this Power Soul Shadow intertwined with ten Divine Sense, with the intent within those Divine Sense seeping into it and leaving its mark. More importantly, it could use Divine Sense as a bridge to infuse the images in the Myriad People's Heart Fire into the Soul Shadow!

Soon, the image of the Crow itself faded, and the special concept it represented emerged—

Before the previous dynasty, Crow were considered Divine Bird by the people, believed to have prophetic abilities and to symbolize good fortune. However, after the previous dynasty ended and the current dynasty began, this meaning quickly faded, and they were replaced by being seen as ominous birds. The cawing of a Crow was considered a sign of bad luck.

Auspicious and inauspicious differ by only one word, yet their profound meanings are diametrically opposed, representing the capriciousness of fate. This reflects the common people's fear of the unknown, leading them to interpret things according to their own desires; what an object represents changes with the human heart.

Li Trigram trembled, Qiu Yan felt a sense of enlightenment, and a wisp of the Li Trigram's essence drifted out from his Soul Aperture, merging with the Myriad People's Heart Fire, and then being transmitted through his Divine Sense to his dissipating Power Soul!

Unite!

The next moment, the Crow Power Soul re-condensed, but unlike Original Edition, it was no longer accompanied by billowing Black Wind; instead, it possessed an eerie quality, containing contradictory thoughts!

With a flap of Crow wings, the surrounding Karma Fortune fluctuated.

Then, the Power Soul raven, enveloping Qiu Yan's Divine Soul, flew towards the perfectly round sphere of Ethereal Mud. The sphere's surface, as smooth as lead and mercury, was flawless, and the Void-Driving Dao Lord was remotely controlling it, attempting to intercept the Crow Power Soul.

But suddenly, with a loud bang, the Heart Ape burst into flames, transforming into a giant of fire and lunging at the Void-Driving Dao Lord. As Qiu Yan's Divine Soul left his body, the Heart Ape lost its previous agility. Although its every move was controlled by Qiu Yan, it had gained a touch of instinct, appearing violent and manic. Furthermore, because it could not receive the replenishment of Incense Faith from the Soul Aperture, its entire ape body was rapidly consumed and weakened. However, compared to its enormous body, the degree of consumption was not unbearable.

Its roar sent flames flying, Void-Driving Dao Lord could only deal with it. Moreover, after the River of History, Illusory World enveloped one of his arms, it also rushed over with surging momentum, trying to engulf him completely!

While the Dao Lord was distracted, the Power Soul Crow on the other side cawed, causing the surrounding Fortune to fluctuate suddenly. The Ethereal Mud trembled and cracked open, allowing the Crow to slip inside.

Upon entering, it was truly True Dragon entering the sea, with the Divine Soul and body converging. As soon as the soul entered the body, Qiu Yan's withered body suddenly trembled, his eyes opened, and a sharp light flashed in them. A porcelain bottle flew out of his arms, and when the stopper was opened, a point of golden light flew out.

The Solar True Essence!

The Solar True Essence that was taken from the Golden Crow Daoist, even just a drop, burst forth with surging heat, forcing the surrounding Ethereal Mud back ten feet and clearing the space around Qiu Yan.

Then, this essence transformed and merged into the Crow Power Soul!

Vibrating, tumbling, gathering and dispersing!

The Crow Power Soul shifted rapidly, its entire Soul Shadow hovering in mid-air, shimmering like a reflection in water.

Qiu Yan ignored him, opened his mouth and spat out another Soul Shadow, which flew out, spun in the air, and transformed into a Silver Wolf, raising its head and howling!

Essence Soul!

The wolf's fur shimmered like water, its four claws gleamed like knives, and its entire body resembled Black Hole, subtly drawing in the air. If Spiritual Qi hadn't been kept out, it would have absorbed a great deal of it in an instant.

Qiu Yan didn't waste any time. Ten Divine Sense flew out from the Crow Power Soul and poured into the Silver Wolf's Essence Soul. The intent permeated the space. As the wolf's head howled, a bright moon could be faintly seen. The moon was high in the sky, empty and vast, like a frame that could hold anything.

Immediately afterward, Qiu Yan spat out another soul, which merged with his Divine Sense. It was a mountain goat, formed from his Qi Soul. It breathed in and out, seemingly possessing boundless power. But then, the Myriad People's Heart Fire transmitted a thought, and a spark of incense flew out from the Soul Aperture.

The two Qi Soul merged into one, and the sheep's head turned and fell down onto a tray, where it was presented as an offering, like a sacrificial offering. Illusory figures appeared around it, bowing and kowtowing, as if worshipping heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, or ancestors.

The spirit of sacrifice bursts forth from the Qi Soul of the ram's head!

Qiu Yan didn't ask any questions. He opened his mouth again and spat out a clanging Soul Shadow, like refined iron, which then split in two, transforming into a Rhinoceros and a Rhinoceros Beetle.

Heroic Soul!

The twin shadows of Heroic Soul, after flying out, were also entangled by ten Divine Sense. The Myriad People's Heart Fire jumped, and various lights and shadows appeared on the Fire Seed. They were wild beasts in the Lin Zhong, fish swimming in the water, and many demons. They were all believers under the rule of the Divine Spirit Body, and a bit of their spirituality and wildness had been absorbed from the Soul Aperture. They were visualized by the Myriad People's Heart Fire and projected onto the twin shadows of Heroic Soul.

As the light and shadow shifted, the scene of Withering and Flourishing vegetation appeared around the Rhinoceros Beetle, resembling a corner of a dense forest; beside the hornbill, the stream water churned with silt, like a river.

Heroic Soul's entire aura changed, tending towards a natural state, ethereal and otherworldly, yet full of wildness and power.

Qiu Yan withdrew his thoughts, opened his mouth and spat out again, and his Central Pivot Soul flew out. Inside the soul lay a figure, radiating great light, like a god or a Buddha.

This Central Pivot Soul, combined with the method of the <Lying God Inner Art>, has the spirit resting in the heart, suppressing the Seven Souls and governing the four limbs and the whole body. Now that it has emerged, it immediately releases an aura of majesty. The ten Divine Sense gather together, carrying a little bit of silver light, and pour into the Central Pivot Soul. The soul moves, transforms into human form, raises its hand, stretches, and turns over to sleep again.

Qiu Yan raised his hand and pushed, sending the Central Pivot Soul out and landing in the center. The other Soul Shadow were then drawn over and began to revolve around it.

Qiu Yan smiled slightly, reached out and touched his forehead, making the lines between his eyebrows clearer. Then he opened his eyes, and they turned into an eye. Memories from his soul rushed in, Classics, Histories, Masters, and Anthologies gathered together and merged into his eye. His eye instantly solidified, and with a "snap," it popped out of his forehead and fell down, where Qiu Yan caught it.

Wisdom Soul.

This crystal-clear Soul Shadow, like a gemstone, sparkles with luster. Inside, lines of text appear to be written, accompanied by the sound of reading aloud, exuding a scholarly atmosphere and revealing a sense of knowledge and competence.

With a smile, Qiu Yan tossed the Wisdom Soul Crystal in his hand, which landed squarely on the Central Pivot Soul- shaped figure. The figure grabbed it and pulled it into its arms.

Immediately following, the other four Soul Shadow, embodying strength, essence, heroism, and energy, began to rotate, rushing upwards along with the Central Pivot humanoid figure!

Splash!

Six distinct auras erupted, each conjuring its own image and mood.

With a few "poof" sounds, the Ethereal Mud was broken open, creating a large hole, and abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged in!

Qiu Yan looked up, inhaled deeply, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged in, engulfing his stomach and merging into his protruding lower abdomen. Then, he leaped upwards, flying straight out of the Ethereal Mud. He touched the top of his head, his hair fluttering, and a phantom of his Soul Shadow soared into the sky...

Call!

The figure moved with incredible speed, breaking free from the distorted scene in the blink of an eye and arriving on the ground. Then, a loud boom was heard, and the Spiritual Qi within a five-mile radius surged and converged towards this single Soul Shadow!

Amidst the howling wind, Qiu Yan's body remained emaciated. Apart from a pair of bright, gleaming eyes, he was lifeless, except for several Soul Shadow of different colors and shapes that constantly shifted around him.

This scene, witnessed by the Void-Driving Dao Lord had just escaped the attack from the Heart Ape, sent a jolt through him.

"Seven Souls Transformation? Qiu Yan has truly entered the Third Realm! But why can his Seven Souls take form in such a short time? This is beyond reason!"

The Third Realm of Life Cultivation enables the Seven Souls Transformation and generate Kidney Fire.

However, this is a general statement. Most Cultivation Method cannot be mastered overnight. They require the transformation of each of the Seven Souls one by one, just like refining the seven souls. It is extremely rare for someone like Qiu Yan to directly condense seven Soul Shadow.

"No, his transformation is not yet complete, there is still a part of his soul outside, and he has not yet generated Kidney Fire." With this thought, the Void-Driving Dao Lord immediately made a decision to use his power to sabotage Qiu Yan's advancement.

However, before he could take any action, a stream of light fell from above, drawing in surging Spiritual Qi that poured into Qiu Yan's body, causing his withered body to swell up like a balloon.

Click!

A cracking sound came from the abdomen, and a small flame flickered out. This flame was connected to the blood, steaming the Qi and Blood and warming the life force.

The Seven Souls Transformation, and the Kidney Fire manifests!

Qiu Yan shuddered. A pattern appeared on his head, forehead, tongue, chest, lower abdomen, ribs, and spine, floated up, gathered together, and was then grabbed by Qiu Yan and swallowed!

Boom!

The next moment, his aura surged.
