Seventeen years later.
Inside an exquisite courtyard of the Soul Clan.
Piercing cold air shrouded the courtyard, freezing the vitality within dozens of miles around it. The Dou Qi in the air formed a vortex, converging toward the center of the courtyard.
After a long while, the surrounding Dou Qi finally calmed down, the cold air dissipated, and the temperature returned to normal.
"Hah... After ten years, I've finally refined these three true waters to a preliminary degree and condensed my own Origin True Water."
At this moment, in the center of the courtyard, a black-robed youth sitting cross-legged with his eyes tightly shut let out a foul breath and slowly opened his eyes.
This youth was none other than Lin Changqing, who had undergone soul reincarnation seventeen years ago. At this moment, he should be called Hun Changqing.
Feeling the three true waters within his body that were already under his preliminary control, Hun Changqing's heart was filled with joy.
The Supreme Yin True Explanation he practiced was the cultivation method that best matched his own Supreme Yin True Body, possessing boundless might. Coupled with the preliminary refinement of the three true waters deep within his soul, this gave him the capital to ascend to the absolute summit in this world where the strong preyed on the weak.
The Three True Waters:
Weak Water: It exists above the thirty-three heavens, floating within the starry sea of the heavenly realm. For generation after generation, it remains unsullied by the mortal dust, and is the purest water in the world.
Yet purity to the extreme becomes the most extreme poison. Once touched, one is completely decomposed and purified by the Weak Water, utterly erased from the mortal world with no possibility of reincarnation.
Above the Weak Water lies its own domain, where even goose feathers fail to float and immortals or Buddhas struggle to cross. No matter how towering one's cultivation might be, anyone daring to cross the Weak Water meets only a single fate: sinking into the Weak Water, being decomposed and melted by it, and turning into a part of the Weak Water itself.
Naturally, Hun Changqing's Weak Water possessed only a trace of Weak Water origin, carrying the traits of decomposition and assimilation inherent to Weak Water, but as he grew stronger day by day, the might of this divine object would naturally manifest.
Monadic Heavy Water: Situated at the very bottom of the heavenly Milky Way, a single drop can turn into an endless ocean. Each drop weighs tens of thousands of catties, layer upon layer piling up to form ultimate power.
Three-Light Divine Water: Formed from the mixture of three primordial divine waters: the sun, the moon, and the stars.
Each of these three primordial divine waters of the sun, moon, and stars is a peerless and unique divine water, as well as a peerless poison.
Sunlight Divine Water erodes flesh, blood, and bones.
Moonlight Divine Water corrodes the primordial spirit and soul.
Starlight Divine Water devours and dissolves true spiritual consciousness.
Yet once the golden Sunlight Divine Water, the silver Moonlight Divine Water, and the purple Starlight Divine Water merge into one...
They transform into the Three-Light Divine Water, which is also the legendary supreme healing sacred medicine!
Not only can it neutralize all poisons across the three realms and six paths, conquering all so-called "incurable" poisons,
it can also heal all wounds and diseases, and can even save someone whose soul has been obliterated. Furthermore, it can interfere with the soul, producing an effect that can be called heaven-defying.
There was also the natal true water refined by Hun Changqing using the Supreme Yin True Qi condensed from practicing the Supreme Yin True Explanation:
Supreme Yin True Water: It pursues ultimate coldness alongside ultimate offensive and lethal power. When grown to its peak, it can freeze three thousand worlds.
The Supreme Yin True Explanation practiced by Hun Changqing was a cultivation method corresponding to a supreme physique known as the Supreme Yin True Body.
The combination of the two yielded unimaginably immense might. What the Supreme Yin True Explanation cultivated was not Dou Qi, but Supreme Yin True Qi that matched the true body.
He relied on the Weak Water to decompose and assimilate the Dou Qi between heaven and earth into his own Supreme Yin True Qi.
However, since the Supreme Yin True Qi was ultimately decomposed and assimilated from Dou Qi, after being purified and condensed, the energy tier of the Supreme Yin True Qi was only a tiny bit higher than that of Dou Qi.
Dou Qi was berserk, while Supreme Yin True Qi was frigid; the two each possessed their own characteristics.
The Supreme Yin True Body, formed from the ultimate Yin energy between heaven and earth, specialized in slaughter and combat.
Within his mother's womb, Hun Changqing had already had his Innate Supreme Yin True Body condensed by the Supreme Yin origin deep within his soul.
Moreover, because Hun Changqing's mother could not endure the excessively heavy ultimate Yin energy and innate killing intent of his Supreme Yin True Body, she barely managed to give birth to Hun Changqing before passing away.
Meanwhile, Hun Changqing's father, a high-level Dou Zun of the Soul Clan stationed at the Soul Palace, had perished a few years ago during an operation targeting the Pill Tower, the largest alchemist holy land in the Central Plains.
Fortunately, it seemed Hun Changqing's father knew that going out on that occasion might lead to an accident, so he had left behind the vast majority of his cultivation resources for Hun Changqing.
This prevented Hun Changqing from having to rely solely on slowly refining Dou Qi by himself to cultivate at such a young age.
Because Hun Changqing had condensed his Innate Supreme Yin True Body within his mother's womb, his Soul Clan bloodline power had been purged, leaving his body filled purely with Supreme Yin True Qi without any Soul Clan bloodline strength.
When he went to test his bloodline in his early years, it unsurprisingly turned out to be a rankless bloodline, causing Hun Changqing's father at the time to feel deeply disappointed.
Now that both of Hun Changqing's parents were dead and he had not awakened a Dou Di Bloodline within his body, naturally no one would provide resources to Hun Changqing.
Later on, however, it was discovered that Hun Changqing had advanced to a Dou Zhe, testing positive for water and wood attribute Dou Qi, and that he possessed exceptional talent in the water attribute.
Relying on a mastery of exquisite water-attribute Dou Techniques, he actually managed to trade blows evenly with geniuses possessing higher bloodlines, which meant his resources were not left lagging behind by too much.
Thus, relying on some mediocre resources from within the clan alongside the lifetime accumulation of resources left behind by his father, Hun Changqing had cultivated all the way to his current realm of an eight-star Dou Emperor.
Yet just moments ago, Hun Changqing had also completely exhausted the resources left behind by his father.
