Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes - Chapter 406 - 405: Divine Soul Takes Form
Chapter 406: Chapter 405: Divine Soul Takes Form
In the following two days, Shen Han did not leave the room.
The food he brought with him was enough to fill his stomach without any problem.
In Cangxuan Valley, many external disciples can only earn enough contribution points in a month to read in the library for about twenty hours.
These twenty hours are just for pure reading; they can’t bring in paper and pen to transcribe anything.
If a person’s talent is slightly mediocre, progress becomes extremely slow.
Some external disciples even find it difficult to get started after one or two months.
It is precisely because of this that external disciples continue working hard at miscellaneous tasks.
They earn a meager amount of contribution points in hopes of going back to the library.
In this way, Cangxuan Valley easily recovers quite a few contribution points.
But for Shen Han, one hour at the library is enough for each visit.
The extra time can be spent diving into cultivation.
At this moment, Shen Han’s consciousness is still within the world created by the Gen Mountain Secret Technique.
Using the Qi and blood to nurture the divine soul initially, Shen Han’s face showed some pallor.
However, for Shen Han, these are not major issues.
Compared to the injuries sustained in fights, this bit of blood loss is negligible.
He let his mind sink down and continued to nourish with Qi and blood.
Late at night, silence was all around.
In the vast world of consciousness, a faint shadow finally emerged.
The divine soul, initially formed.
After four days and nights, taking advantage of the conscious world of the Gen Mountain Secret Technique, he finally nurtured his own divine soul.
Compared to Zheng Changye’s nearly transparent divine soul and Mu Ming’s ink-colored divine soul.
Shen Han carefully examined it.
His own divine soul faintly emitted a bluish-black glow.
Unlike their formed divine souls.
Mu Ming’s ink-colored divine soul, overall, looked somewhat like a gigantic human figure.
Yet it was faceless and unsymbolic.
Looking at his own divine soul, Shen Han noticed it had many connections, not seeming unified.
Shen Han slightly furrowed his brow, attempting to maneuver his divine soul with a basic method.
A palm strike was cast, and the wind from the palm formed its momentum.
But his divine soul scattered along with the move.
Scattered, yet did not perish.
His divine soul could disperse.
The “shattering” of the Soul Shattering Tao Skill meant this…
Shen Han thought the cultivation method forged a divine soul capable of shattering others’ divine souls.
Turns out it means literally, the divine soul could shatter like fragments and disperse.
After his divine soul shattered into several pieces, Shen Han discovered an issue.
This way, controlling his divine soul became much more difficult.
Each fragment required its own thought-command.
However, there are pros and cons in everything.
Even though using this divine soul became more challenging, its power also multiplied.
The divine soul split apart, attacking the opponent with strategic breathing.
This way, the strength of his divine soul would vastly surpass his opponents.
Concentrating within the conscious world, the fragmented divine soul gathered, leaving only two.
Shen Han tried to control two divine souls to attack simultaneously.
If his own attack is included, doesn’t that mean the opponent has to face three attacks at once?
Shen Han grew increasingly satisfied with the Soul Shattering Tao Skill.
In fact, Shen Han was also very aware that in the eyes of the upper levels of Cangxuan Valley, the Soul Shattering Tao Skill was certainly not the top cultivation technique.
The truly core cultivation techniques of Cangxuan Valley would certainly not be in the library.
The ones in the library are either ordinary techniques for external disciples to learn.
After mastering them, they can return to their hometowns and live a better life.
Or techniques like the Soul Shattering Tao Skill.
Obscure, lengthy, tested by the sect, discovered hard to master.
Or they’ve found it challenging and merely average even if mastered.
Only these two types of techniques would be in the library.
The truly profound techniques are tightly held by the Mansion Master of each line.
Passed only to inner sect disciples of their line.
Placing them in the library is too easy for other sects to steal.
Similarly, how can each line maintain its core competitive advantage?
The night passed, and by noon.
Mu Ming, feeling somewhat restless, came over to knock on the door.
It’s been almost five days, and he was a bit worried about whether Shen Han encountered any problems.
Seeing Shen Han come out alright, albeit a bit pale, Mu Ming let out a sigh of relief.
“A small issue, a small issue. When I first started nurturing my divine soul, I was just like that, completely drained.
I could only walk by holding onto support.
This is nothing, wait until the soul condensation, then you’ll see how exhausting it is.”
Mu Ming seemed to have a lingering fear regarding his own process of soul condensation, with a slight hint of bitterness on his face.
“How long did it take Senior Brother Mu back then to condense the divine soul?”
“Around half a year, I guess. Your Senior Brother Mu had a rather solid foundation, stronger than the other external disciples.”
A half-year is considered a solid foundation?
Shen Han slightly furrowed his brow: “Then how long does it usually take other foreign disciples to condense their divine souls?”
“Them? The fast ones take five months, the slower ones about ten months.”
Seeing Shen Han didn’t seem to fully grasp this concept, Mu Ming started explaining again, thinking if he didn’t explain.
Shen Han might think his six-month divine soul condensation was terrible.
“Nurturing and condensing the divine soul consumes a considerable amount of Qi and blood. Being able to condense it in about six months already surpasses many people.
Don’t think you can achieve it in just a dozen days without turning yourself into a dried up corpse.”
Regarding Mu Ming’s explanation, Shen Han simply nodded while saying words of praise, complimenting Senior Brother Mu.
When others take so long to nurture and condense a divine soul, it holds Shen Han back from pulling his divine soul out immediately.
Shen Han actually found it not very difficult to condense the divine soul.
Not to mention the cultivation method of Great Wei requires high levels of body refinement.
Even the scholar’s cultivation method mainly advances through spiritual power, still requires body refining.
Entering Fourth Grade from Fifth Grade requires even more body tempering.
The desperate fight with Luo Zuchen, luckily surviving, brought some benefits to him.
Now his strength is already at the Fifth Grade Fruit Realm, almost entering the Fourth Grade.
Once in Fourth Grade, his fullness of Qi and blood will ascend further.
The Qi and blood needed to nurture the divine soul barely impacts his condition.
Moreover, Shen Han found that the lost Qi and blood could be replenished through Unceasing Skill.
Today’s paleness could simply require a night’s rest for recovery.
After having some lunch together.
After the meal, Shen Han let Senior Brother Mu rest.
Whether to cultivate or relax, it was up to him.
Having borrowed ten contribution points from him, naturally, Shen Han had to help with some work.
For these ten days, Shen Han prepared to let Senior Brother Mu rest, while he took care of the herb field alone.
Almost a month until the herbs mature, the field just requires weeding and pest control.
Nothing particularly troublesome.
Considering this, Mu Ming simply agreed.
Shen Han walked to the herb field alone, pulling a chair from a hidden spot to sit down.
Surrounded by silence, alone, it truly was a good task.
Shen Han decided to cultivate and train here, even reluctant to return at night.
…
In a small courtyard within the valley, Zheng Changye received clear information.
Shen Han is currently stationed at the herb field, likely managing it.
