After hearing Qian Renxue's explanation, Qi Ling was utterly stunned. This cultivation method truly lived up to its name as the Extreme Cultivation Method; it was indeed extremely extreme!
Whether it was Oscar, Tang San, or anyone else Qi Ling knew, or even herself, Qi Ling had never heard of this cultivation method before; Qian Renxue was the first to know.
No matter how hard a person cultivates themselves, it's impossible to go without rest. The human body has a protective mechanism that forces you to rest.
Qian Renxue used this sense of crisis to forcibly suppress people's protective mechanisms, so that people's potential would be maximized when faced with a life-or-death crisis.
Moreover, the main reason no one has implemented this method is that it is simply too dangerous! Imagine a person's mind is at its limit; who can guarantee that their performance won't be erratic? In that case, they would suffer the same fate as the famous mountain beast.
Most Soul Master venture into the Soul Beast Forest to obtain Soul Ring, and once they achieve their goal, they leave as soon as possible. Why would anyone think of cultivating like Qian Renxue?
Moreover, the most important condition for doing this is being alone! Only in such an environment where there is absolutely no one to rely on and no rest can a person truly push themselves to the limit, which can be described as putting oneself in a life-or-death situation to survive.
"My God, this is insane!" Qi Ling exclaimed. "Besides, everyone has their limits. What will you do when you reach them?"
Qian Renxue thought for a moment and said, "When we reach our limit, we will naturally leave Doomsday Valley. We can come back in when we are ready."
"However, I've had several near-death experiences with Soul Beast, but I've been very lucky and always managed to be rescued."
Seeing Qian Renxue say such terrifying words without changing her expression, Qi Ling finally understood why she had achieved such success. It was truly a cultivation method that required absolute dedication.
"So, what's the longest you've ever cultivated using this method?" Qi Ling asked.
"The longest period of time... was probably about a month. By then, I had reached my limit and had to rest," Qian Renxue said.
"I see." Qi Ling thought for a moment and said, "Then, sister, have you considered cultivating together?"
"Two people together?" Qian Renxue thought for a moment and said, "No, because I don't know if having someone to rely on might make the cultivation less effective."
"But if two people work together, not only will the risk be reduced, but the cultivation time can also be extended!" Qi Ling said. "In this way, the cultivation effect shouldn't be affected much."
After thinking for a moment, Qian Renxue slowly nodded and said, "What you said makes some sense. Alright, little brother, in that case, let's search for suitable Soul Ring while trying out the method you mentioned."
So in the days that followed, Qi Ling and Qian Renxue trained together using this Extreme Cultivation Method. He soon discovered that this method not only trained the body, but more importantly, strengthened the will!
At the same time, Qi Ling's instinctive reactions to sudden dangers became increasingly agile. Sometimes, before Qian Renxue could even react, the danger had already been nipped in the bud by Qi Ling.
And so, a month passed in the blink of an eye. Although the two still hadn't found a suitable Soul Ring, they had gained a lot during this time. Qi Ling felt that her Soul Power had definitely increased significantly.
More importantly, because they have someone to rely on, the Upper God pressure is much less, reaching a manageable level, so that even now, the two of them still don't feel like they've reached their limit.
On that very day, just when the two thought their cultivation would proceed as usual, an unexpected event occurred, forcing them to stop.
That very morning, as the two awoke from their light sleep, a powerful roar suddenly rang out, drawing their attention.
Although the sound wasn't very clear due to the distance, Qi Ling was certain that it was a dragon's roar, and a very pure and majestic one at that, from a purebred Dragon Clan.
"Great! I've finally found you!" Qi Ling was overjoyed. He was now certain that this Dragon Clan was the ultimate target that the Wheel of Fate had been guiding him towards.
However, at the same time, Qi Ling also heard other faint sounds amidst the dragon's roar, which seemed to be the sounds of some kind of bird, and they were full of anger, clearly confronting the owner of the dragon's roar.
What kind of bird is so powerful that it can actually fight against the Dragon Clan? Qi Ling immediately became interested. Maybe this time not only would she have a Soul Ring, but she could also obtain Qian Renxue's Soul Ring.
After sharing his thoughts with Qian Renxue, Qian Renxue agreed to go and investigate. If it really was a suitable Soul Beast, it would be a good thing to obtain his Soul Ring as soon as possible.
So the two followed the sound and headed towards the location of the dragon and the bird, but the closer they got to the place where the sound came from, the more frightened Qi Ling and Qian Renxue became.
As they drew closer, intense fluctuations of Soul Power emanated from the sound, clearly demonstrating the immense power of its owner, reaching an utterly unbelievable level.
Having fought against a 70,000-year-old Soul Beast, Qi Ling could clearly tell that the owners of these two voices were definitely over 100,000 years old!
A 70,000-year-old Soul Beast is almost equivalent to the top-level Soul Saint, or even reaches the level of Soul Douluo. Some more special Soul Beast are even more powerful.
If it is a 90,000-year-old Soul Beast, its strength will reach the level of Soul Douluo, and some of the best among them can only be dealt with by Titled Douluo.
However, when Soul Beast reaches a level of 100,000 years, it undergoes a complete qualitative change; it's not just a matter of increasing the age by a few years. This is the difference between Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo.
As for the owners of these two voices, one can tell without even seeing their true forms that they are definitely kings among Soul Beast, comparable to Da Ming Er Ming. In fact, only Titled Douluo of level 95 or above can barely withstand their power.
How could Qi Ling and Qian Renxue possibly deal with such a Soul Beast? Even if the two were geniuses one in ten thousand, they could not make up for this absolute gap in strength.
"Little brother, let's go. We can't handle Soul Beast like this," Qian Renxue immediately said. After all, she could tell the difference between pushing one's limits and suicide.
But the perceptive Qi Ling, while carefully listening to their sounds, said, "Wait a little longer, sister, perhaps we still have a chance!"
