Time passed by minute by minute.
Nie Tianku sat on the ancient altar facing the eight-headed flame dragon's bones, constantly picking up spiritual jade and extracting the majestic spiritual power from it.
The two spiritual vortexes that merged first gave him a splitting headache, which in turn triggered the transformation of his spiritual power.
The mental power affects his memory, soul imprint, and awareness of the power of magic, quietly gathering into a ball of energy.
The air mass exudes his unique soul breath.
The violent fluctuations in his soul, like boiling fire juice, made him dizzy.
A trace of spiritual power, like iron and stone, was forged into fine steel and transformed into soul power.
Wisps of soul power touched his soul memory and fermented in the air mass, causing the air mass to undergo endless changes.
In the air mass, little bits of black light exploded from time to time, forming scenes.
In those scenes, starting from Black Cloud City in Litian Territory, everything Nie Tian experienced when he was young was revealed one by one from those scenes.
His battle with Nie Jiaerlang, his experience of going to Qinghuan Realm to fight, his training process with Wu Ji, the bloody battle that took place when he obtained the Broken Star Mark in Tianmen...
All kinds of memories of his life burst out from the black light from time to time, turning into scenes, disappearing quickly, and then giving birth to new scenes, and then disappeared again, as if it would never end.
The air mass sometimes expanded violently, sometimes contracted, sometimes elongated into Nie Tian's virtual soul form, sometimes separated into broken souls, and then reunited.
At the same time, within the spiritual sea of his dantian, one after another, the spiritual power whirlpools merged into each other.
"Crack!"
Another piece of spiritual jade, cracked due to exhaustion of spiritual power.
He closed his eyes and replaced it with a new spiritual jade without saying a word.
All along, he only knew that the advancement of the mortal realm would cause spiritual power to transform, condense into soul power, and form a true soul.
But he actually had no idea what kind of changes would happen to the Dantian Linghai.
Now, he finally understood that when the innate realm breaks through to the mortal realm, the nine spiritual vortexes will merge into one!
His master, Wu Ji, never told him what would happen each time he advanced to a larger realm when he entered the acquired realm, acquired heaven to mid-heaven, and mid-heaven to innate realm.
Wu Ji deliberately kept it secret so that he would not know the process of breakthrough, just to let him ponder and experience it carefully.
Wu Ji told him that when his realm is ready to advance, what should happen will always happen, and there is no need for him to know anything in advance.
Hua Mu, Zhen Huilan and others are all his elders, but no one has told him what changes will happen every time he breaks through the realm.
Perhaps, they all thought that Wu Ji had already told him all the details.
He also asked Wu Ji, and Wu Ji only said that not telling him about the changes in the process of realm breakthrough was a special way that Wu Ji taught his disciples.
And he also knew through Fang Hui, Chang Sen and others that his master's cultivating skills were recognized by the entire Litian Territory.
All the strong men in the Litian Realm openly and secretly believed that Wu Ji was the best guide to the path of cultivation. This made Nie Tian choose to believe in Wu Ji and not ask any more questions.
Wu Ji's statement also proved that he was not wrong.
Every time Nie Tian breaks through, he doesn't know what will happen beforehand. Because he doesn't know anything, he will be extremely cautious when breaking through, paying close attention to all the subtle changes that occur when the realm breaks through.
It's because he doesn't know the direction of the breakthrough or what changes will happen. He can only speculate and observe carefully, lest there will be chaos.
Pieces of spiritual jade shattered under his feet and turned into mortal stone.
His nine dantian spiritual seas also gradually completed the fusion, condensing them into one.
The fusion of the spiritual sea in his dantian made his mind sting all the time, and the air mass was also undergoing various drastic changes endlessly.
Every time there is a drastic change, his spiritual power will be refined and blended one by one, turning into a trace of soul power and permanently imprinted on the air mass.
Gradually, Nie Tian's soul seemed to have completely sunk into the air mass.
The air mass seemed to belong to his soul, and the wisps of soul power imprinted in the air mass seemed to become the skin, flesh, and veins of his soul.
He numbly consumed the spiritual jade piece by piece, and his soul slowly became trance-like. Many experiences and realm perceptions flashed out over and over again.
The long road to advancement has finally come to an end.
The turbulent spiritual sea in Dantian gradually returned to calm, and the nine spiritual vortexes merged into one, leaving only one.
That spiritual power vortex did not change much compared to the nine fused spiritual power vortexes, except that there was one more thing.
It was a pill as big as a fist. The pill floated in the spiritual whirlpool and turned into a translucent liquid.
The pills floating in the vortex are made of majestic spiritual power, which is refined again and again and then condensed into liquid.
In the pill pill, the liquid spiritual power flows gurglingly and mysteriously.
"This is... a panacea."
There was no need to guess at all, just looking at the pill, he seemed to know the name of it.
The formation of the spiritual elixir seemed to mean that the drastic changes in his Dantian spiritual sea were completely over.
As soon as he thought, wisps of spiritual power would fly out like a stream and flow into his veins. He could use the spiritual power at will to use various spiritual techniques activated by spiritual power to form a spiritual light shield to protect flesh and blood. , giving him infinite fighting power.
He absorbs the spiritual jade in his hand, and the spiritual power he absorbs will still penetrate into the spiritual whirlpool where there is only one left, and after being condensed, it will merge into the spiritual elixir.
He looked at the flame vortex, grass vortex, and star vortex, and immediately noticed that those three vortexes were faintly floating around the spiritual vortex.
The three whirlpools with different attributes seemed to have some kind of echo with the whirlpool in which the elixir was deposited.
The flame vortex, the grass vortex, and the star vortex did not merge with each other, nor did they form a spiritual elixir.
They remained in their original state, and for a while, Nie Tian couldn't figure out the mystery.
He turned his attention to the sea of soul consciousness again, and then he felt like his consciousness was returning.
It seems that his previous attention to the Dantian Linghai was initiated from the soul energy ball in the soul consciousness sea.
That is his true soul...
Squinting his eyes and feeling it with his heart, he soon realized that his memories, soul imprints, and knowledge of power and magic skills that were scattered in the sea of soul consciousness were all gathered in the true soul.
The true soul is completely different from the liquid elixir. The true soul is in an illusory gaseous state.
His true soul is currently just a ball, not an incorporeal soul like himself.
He had heard someone say that the true soul of a powerful qi-refiner was not only exactly the same as himself, but also so clear that it could separate from flesh and blood and appear outside the body.
But his true soul at the moment was just in the shape of a ball of air, not at all the same as himself as others said.
"The true soul of the mortal realm should be like this. Only when the realm is improved and broken again, and after reaching the mysterious realm and the spiritual realm, the true soul will derive new changes and become a clear soul body."
Thinking and comprehending, he slowly sank his consciousness into his true soul.
Then he noticed that there was a soul imprint deep in his true soul. That soul imprint was the crystallization of his lifelong memories and insights.
Wisps of soul power wrap around the soul imprint, with the soul imprint as the core.
When a thought arises, the soul power is stimulated and blended by consciousness, and it can fly out of the sea of soul consciousness and explore the world.
In the past, what he extended out of his mind could only be called spiritual consciousness, activated by spiritual power.
Now, what flies out can be called soul consciousness.
A ray of soul consciousness flew out. He closed his eyes and immediately discovered that the soul consciousness could be very far away from him. It was many times farther than the perception range of spiritual consciousness.
Not only that, the perception of his soul consciousness gave him the feeling that he was peering into the world with his heavenly eyes.
This feeling is many times clearer and sharper than the exploration of spiritual consciousness.
Withdrawing his soul consciousness, he paid attention again and found that the nine shining broken stars had not changed much. They were still dotted in the sea of soul consciousness, twinkling quietly like faint stars.
He actually doesn't know much about the nine broken stars, and he usually only uses them to condense the Sky Eyes.
At this moment, he used the broken star soul power again, integrated it into his own spiritual consciousness, and created it as the Sky Eye.
The nine heavenly eyes formed quickly and floated in all directions, incredibly fast.
The scenes seen with the Sky Eye were immediately reflected in True Soul. He could see the subtle texture of the ancient altar, and could see the giant arm of the Sky-Stretching Giant Spirit ten miles away, and the fingerprints on its fingers.
The connection between the Sky Eye and him has become closer, and the limit range of the Sky Eye's insight has also been extended several times.
"The spiritual elixir is completed, the true soul appears, the mortal realm!"
