Chapter 920 - 406: [Duel Soul Genesis] (Part 2)

To use a metaphor, the Yama Scripture is akin to "Body Cultivation" in soul cultivation, while the Divination Chapter is more like "Magic Cultivation."

Of course, this metaphor is not entirely accurate. When the Divination Chapter is cultivated to the later stages, the strength of the Primordial Spirit cannot be matched by any other cultivation technique. The fierce evil refined from the Yama Scripture is fierce indeed, but its greater purpose lies in commanding countless ghosts in collective battles.

"Then come, let me see what is so miraculous about the supreme inheritance of the Demon Sect!"

"Add points!"

An immense number of Cause and Effect Points burned around him, transforming into countless powers beyond causality, surging wildly into Chu Xiu’s body!

Under the influence of the Cause and Effect Points, his perception of the surrounding spiritual energy grew clearer, and he gradually began to devour the surrounding Spiritual Qi!

This was a wondrous feeling. Chu Xiu was not merely absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi; he was also converting it into his own Spiritual Power, but during this process, he could not destroy the purity of the Spiritual Qi itself!

Initially, it took him a long time to convert a wisp of Spiritual Qi, but as he consumed more Cause and Effect Points, his conversion speed increased, and the converted Spiritual Power grew ever more pure!

When he had consumed approximately seven hundred thousand Cause and Effect Points, Chu Xiu felt that his Soul Body was completely filled with Spiritual Power, to the point where he almost had the illusion that his Divine Soul would float away like a balloon!

This desolate Star Jumping Ship naturally did not possess such abundant Spiritual Qi; it was all the result of the Cause and Effect Points.

And Chu Xiu knew that this stage of devouring Spiritual Qi was now complete.

"Did the simplest first step really take seven hundred thousand Cause and Effect Points?" Chu Xiu was secretly astonished.

However, it could have been because he had previously practiced the Yama Scripture, resulting in an exceptionally powerful Divine Soul, thereby requiring more Spiritual Qi to fill it.

"No matter, what I lack the least now are Cause and Effect Points!"

Sighing lightly, Chu Xiu once again extracted a large chunk of Cause and Effect Points.

"Continue adding points!"

The next step, merging Spiritual Qi, involves further compressing the Spiritual Power and fully integrating it into the Soul Body.

At the same time, for every bit compressed and integrated, an equal amount is absorbed and converted from the outside world.

After this step, the Spiritual Power that can be stored within the Soul Body will be ten times more than at the start!

Cause and Effect Points burned as if they were free, and Chu Xiu’s Soul Body rapidly transformed!

"While merging Spiritual Qi is meant to enhance the capacity of Spiritual Power, controlling Spiritual Qi is meant to enhance the precision of controlling the Spiritual Power within the Soul Body."

"Without precise control ability, no amount of Spiritual Power can form powerful Magic."

"As for the final Primordial Spirit, though it’s called a Primordial Spirit, it is not the same as the Primordial Spirit formed through Divinity Transformation by normal cultivators; rather, it mimics the form of those disembodied innate deities, optimized for wielding spiritual energy!"

To distinguish it, Chu Xiu referred to it as the [Fighting Spirit].

Simple and straightforward, a Primordial Spirit specialized for Magical Combat.

With a goal in mind, Chu Xiu closed his eyes and heartily immersed himself in cultivation.

...

A month later.

Chu Xiu sat cross-legged in the Star Jumping Ship, his body motionless, yet miraculously, a vast amount of Spiritual Light rose from every pore, ultimately converging above his head.

There, a phantom identical to Chu Xiu in appearance also sat cross-legged in the void with its eyes closed!

This phantom Chu Xiu was only about ten centimeters tall, continually absorbing Spiritual Light into its body, making its originally ethereal form increasingly solid. Meanwhile, an indescribable aura emanated from it.

Unlike the fierce evil of the Yama Scripture, this phantom of Chu Xiu exuded a sense of peace, no, far beyond peace—it had an aroma as sweet as celestial fruit, making one irresistibly yearn to devour the phantom in one gulp.

It seemed as if the phantom was some great tonic!

Suddenly, as the Spiritual Light reached its peak, it seemed to shatter some bottleneck in an instant, and all the brilliance was completely absorbed into the small Chu Xiu!

All aura was fully introverted; he was like a tree that had existed for hundreds of years in the forest, seemingly fused into the very world around him.

The airborne Chu Xiu opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.

"So this is the Fighting Spirit...truly miraculous!"

He moved his body curiously, like a newborn infant, then rose into the air, flying in circles around his original body before finally reentering the Spirit Platform within.

Chu Xiu’s physical body opened its eyes, feeling an unprecedented strength of spirit!

"My Mental Attribute has at least doubled!"

"Now my Divine Soul is so strong that even those with the profession of Soul in their Perfect Demigod state may not surpass me!"

"And furthermore..."

Chu Xiu revealed a hint of an excited smile.

"Compared to the enhancement of basic attributes, what is more important is the Fighting Spirit’s ability!"

Not even Chu Xiu himself knew how strong he had become now!

It’s worth noting that even the Yin Messenger of the Yama Scripture in its second stage, Chu Xiu had not yet mastered, while the Divination Chapter’s cultivation difficulty was even higher!

Of course, achieving the Fighting Spirit form in one go came at a very high cost.

He spent a whole seventeen million eight hundred thousand Cause and Effect Points during his month of seclusion!

Even though he still had many Cause and Effect Points left, spending so many at once still made him feel the pinch.

"The next stage of transformation will not be cultivated for now," Chu Xiu thought to himself.

It’s not that he was unwilling to spend; despite the pinch, Chu Xiu would not hesitate when necessary.

It’s just that after achieving the Fighting Spirit form, Chu Xiu realized something.

"The transformation stage is best cultivated after forming the Nascent Soul."

The Nascent Soul itself is born from the cultivator’s Divine Soul; it is the predecessor of the Primordial Spirit achieved through Divinity Transformation, with its core function being to enhance the cultivator’s perceptual abilities.

Since the purpose of Divinity Transformation is to create a Primordial Spirit that can comprehend the Heavenly Dao, although the Nascent Soul cannot yet comprehend the Heavenly Dao, it greatly enhances the cultivator’s ability to perceive and manipulate spiritual energy.

Without a strong Nascent Soul for cultivating [Transformation Technique], even talking about diminishing returns would be an understatement; the required Cause and Effect Points might exceed ten times that!

Even if Chu Xiu were wealthier, he couldn’t afford such waste.

Similarly, [Path of Transformation] strictly requires a Primordial Spirit formed through Divinity Transformation before cultivation.

Of course, the above two requirements are just the most fundamental; only a few in the history of the Demon Sect have completed [Transformation Technique] by Nascent Soul.

Shaking his head, Chu Xiu did not dwell on it further. Instead, with a thought, an enormous surge of spiritual energy emanated from beneath him, propelling his entire body out of the Star Jumping Ship!

Chu Xiu’s eyes brimming with joy!

"Such powerful spiritual energy release speed and control ability!"

Just now, he hadn’t used any divine techniques but merely released spiritual energy simply and effortlessly, focusing on pure physical propulsion.

Yet even so, he accelerated to twenty times the speed of sound in an extremely short period, matching the speed of the Garuda!

This is the terrifying aspect of the Fighting Spirit! The physical body releases mana needing to circulate through meridians, but the ethereal Primordial Spirit allows for smoother release and control of spiritual energy!

Of course, the Fighting Spirit isn’t absolute in surpassing the physical body; after all, currently, what the Fighting Spirit can store and release are only pure spiritual energies, no matter how concentrated, they surely still can’t compare to High Tier Power from Divine-Demonic Power or Artifact Origin.

Sighing lightly, Chu Xiu fully expanded his Divine Sense, carefully searching this giant entity from the Star Jumping Ship’s edge.

He now urgently desired to find some opponents to test the strength of his cultivated Fighting Spirit!

And it didn’t take long before Chu Xiu’s eyes shone with realization.

On one of the steel walls at the far edge of the Star Jumping Ship lay a cluster of creatures with silvery shellbacks, appearing almost fused with the steel itself.

These were Tribulation Transformation Creatures!

This group of tribulation creatures was more numerous than the ones Zhu Jiu and others encountered previously and seemed completely unaware of Chu Xiu, making no noise at all.

Actually, they were hidden within the Star Jumping Ship; if not for Chu Xiu’s Divine Sense, which was now strong enough to penetrate two to three miles of steel, he wouldn’t have discovered them.

"Let me use you to test the strength of my Primordial Spirit."

A look of anticipation flashing in his eyes, Chu Xiu lightly pointed downwards.

With no visible action from him, the surrounding Spiritual Energy seemed to be guided into forming a pathway naturally, and the next moment, a massive surge of Spiritual Energy burst forth without any warning!

"Boom!"

A pure energy column, a hundred meters thick, formed in the void, exploding with extreme brilliance, illuminating thousands of miles of sky! A pure energy column, a hundred meters thick, formed in the void, exploding with extreme brilliance, illuminating thousands of miles of sky!
