I Really Have to Thank You!
The moment the Black and White Twin Pearls were successfully refined, the two Yi Xuan appeared in Yi Xuan's Sea of Consciousness.
Slightly different from his original soul, these two newly appeared black and white souls were not very solid and looked somewhat illusory.
And the memories from the two souls surged forth like a tide.
A memory is a boy's experience from childhood to adulthood, how he grew up, how he was chosen by the immortal master to be taken to the sect, and how Gazing Immortal Sect.
In the end, due to the unique nature of his soul and for the sake of the sect's grand plan, he voluntarily revealed himself, invading the peerless weapon in his soul form, and ultimately gained control of it.
Yi Xuan didn't continue watching after that, because he already knew the rest of the plot, since it was Yi Xuan himself who ended the boy 'Yi Xuan life.
As for the other soul, its memories were pitifully few, mostly just instinctive things, because this soul was the Artifact Spirit itself, and was possessed by Qi Yun as soon as it was born.
Therefore, its memory is almost blank. But despite this, the fierce aura in its soul is extremely strong, which caused a lot of trouble for the two elders who were helping Yi Xuan refine it.
Even though Yi Xuan has now refined it, the malevolent aura has not been eliminated.
This is why the two Yi Xuan, one in black and one in white, look completely different. The Yi Xuan in white has an upright air about him, and at the same time, the kind of aura between his brows that makes people want to get close to him is very strong.
In contrast, Yi Xuan in black had a furrowed brow and his face was radiating a murderous Sha Qi. Although the two looked exactly alike, Yi Xuan in black was definitely a force to be reckoned with.
Yi Xuan sensed the connection between the three and instantly understood the purpose of the two souls. He then waved to them with a joyful expression.
Without a word, the two understood Yi Xuan's meaning. So, the two Yi Xuan, one in black and one in white, bowed to Yi Xuan's true form and slowly dissipated into Yi Xuan's Sea of Consciousness.
Indeed, the two Yi Xuan, one in black and one in white, did dissipate in the Sea of Consciousness, because the two people who just appeared in Yi Xuan's Sea of Consciousness were not actually the two souls, but merely projections of the two souls.
Because they were both refined by Yi Xuan, they could project their souls into Yi Xuan's Sea of Consciousness to communicate, thanks to the connection between their souls.
Their original souls remained trapped within the Black and White Twin Pearls, unable to leave.
Yi Xuan opened his eyes and looked at Supreme Elder Li and Xiao Anhe with a joyful expression.
The two of them saw Yi Xuan wake up at the same time, and from Yi Xuan's expression, they knew that things had succeeded.
Yi Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, jumped up and bowed deeply to Xiao Anhe and Supreme Elder Li. If it weren't for their help, the Black and White Twin Pearls in Yi Xuan's hands would probably have been just something he kept in his hands for the rest of his life.
Xiao Anhe looked at Yi Xuan, who was bowing, and waved his hand with a smile, saying, "Alright, get up. Why bother with this to your master and Supreme Elder Li? Now that you've refined the Black and White Twin Pearls, you need to find a way to improve your Puppet Technique skills as soon as possible."
Yi Xuan nodded in agreement; he understood Xiao Anhe's meaning. His master wanted Yi Xuan to improve his Puppet Technique as soon as possible, so that the Black and White Twin Pearls would have a better vessel.
However, what he didn't know was that his apprentice was a tech genius who was fully capable of creating things that even Puppet Technique couldn't achieve.
However, Yi Xuan is not in a hurry at this stage.
Having just acquired the two souls, one in black and one in white, Yi Xuan still needed some time to understand them. Yi Xuan felt that as a researcher, he would definitely be able to find more uses for these two souls.
At least for now, the subtle connection between the three souls appears to be a very covert form of signal transmission.
It even surpasses quantum communication in performance, and at least in terms of concealment, it seems to be unsolvable.
The two elders could tell from Yi Xuan's expression that his mind was on the two Artifact Spirit he had just refined, so they didn't say anything more and sent Yi Xuan back.
Yi Xuan returned to his residence excitedly, but instead of entering No. 1 Base, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to learn about his two newly acquired souls little by little.
Two weeks later, when Shi Zhenghao came to find Yi Xuan, he had already gained a fairly good understanding of the two matters concerning his soul.
Shi Zhenghao stared at Yi Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a look of utter disbelief. "You're actually cultivating? Am I seeing things?"
Indeed, when Shi Zhenghao came in, he saw Yi Xuan sitting cross-legged on the bed. Although he couldn't sense any fluctuations in Spiritual Qi, it was clear that he was cultivating.
Shi Zhenghao guessed that his junior brother was probably practicing some kind of secret technique at this moment.
Upon hearing Shi Zhenghao's voice, Yi Xuan opened his eyes and asked, "Senior brother? You came to see me about something?"
But Shi Zhenghao looked troubled and asked, "Did I disturb your cultivation?"
But Yi Xuan shook his head, and Shi Zhenghao's eyes lit up instantly. He then took the initiative to speak, "Junior brother, the sect just issued a reconnaissance mission. I saw no one was taking it, so I accepted it. How about it? Want to come and have some fun with your senior brother?"
"Hmm? You've accepted a mission?"
Yi Xuan asked with some surprise, knowing that the missions in the Mission Hall were all issued to the Azure Cloud Sect disciples, Shi Zhenghao was already a Late-stage Golden Core cultivator.
It's rather unseemly for him to compete with his disciples for missions in the mission hall.
Shi Zhenghao noticed that his junior brother seemed to look at him with a hint of disdain, and instantly understood Yi Xuan's thoughts.
So he spoke up, "What are you thinking? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would compete with the disciples for missions? This time, I accepted a mission specifically for the sect elders."
"Oh? What's the mission about?"
Upon hearing Yi Xuan's question, Shi Zhenghao quickly replied, "That's right, didn't our Azure Cloud Sect take over the Youyun Kingdom from the Gazing Immortal Sect's territory?"
Yi Xuan nodded, indicating that Shi Zhenghao should continue.
"The Youyun Kingdom has only recently been incorporated into the sect, so the sect's control over it is not yet adequate. A month ago, several villages in western Youyun Kingdom were massacred. At first, the officials of the Youyun Kingdom didn't take it seriously, after all, compared to a whole kingdom, a few villages were nothing! But unexpectedly, three days ago, the number of villages that had been massacred had reached more than twenty! The sect judged that it was the work of Evil Dao sect, and therefore issued a mission!"
"Then go ahead! Why did you ask me to come along?"
"Hehe, isn't this something the mission says is most likely the work of Evil Dao sect, and they're worried it'll be too dangerous for one person? So the mission requires two Golden Core elders to go together. How could I forget about such a good opportunity? So I just took on this mission for you!"
"What?"
Yi Xuan asked in disbelief, while probing his sect token with his Divine Sense and finding that a task was indeed recorded there.
Looking up at Shi Zhenghao, Yi Xuan gritted her teeth and said, "I really thank you!"
