Daxuan Wusheng: Start by practicing and adding points

Chapter 490: Blood and Fire Refining Soul

Soul refining!
The way of a great witch is to cultivate the barbaric body to the extreme. However, blood and energy are finite, while the heaven and earth are endless. Therefore, if one wants to achieve the ancestral realm, one needs to strengthen the spirit and soul, control the heaven and earth as a furnace, and temper the barbaric body to return to the ancestral realm, and then ask the way of the witch god.

"..."

Chen Mu looked carefully at the scroll of demon skin in his hand. The more he looked at it, the more serious his eyes became, because although this scroll of demon skin recorded a method of soul refining, its few records portrayed a vast world that was in no way inferior to the Da Xuan!
In that world, there seems to be no martial arts, but what is known as the Way of Witches and Barbarians. However, to the end of practicing the Way of Witches and Barbarians, one still has to refine the mind and soul, and then use the mind and soul to control the heaven and earth, turning it into a furnace to train the barbarian god to enter the realm of godhood.

Judging from this scroll of demon skin alone, the world where the witchcraft and barbarians exist is developing faster than the Daxuan world.

Today's Daxuan, under his preaching, has only begun to sort out some concepts of the mind and soul. To truly summarize a complete method of cultivating the mind and soul, it will take thousands or even tens of thousands of years. However, this world of witchcraft has already touched upon that step, and summarized a 'soul refining technique' to refine the mind and soul.

"As expected, no matter how things change, they still remain essentially the same. The path to immortality is ultimately the path to unity."

Chen Mu read the words on the monster skin, a glimmer in his eyes, and muttered to himself in his heart.

After practicing martial arts to the end, one must also cultivate the mind and soul to enter the realm of gods, and the same is true for the so-called witch and barbarian way. It seems that his past ideas were indeed not wrong. Any world, any way of practice will converge at the realm of gods. One needs to practice an indestructible soul and an indestructible body before one can enter the realm of gods and achieve immortality.

After carefully observing this soul refining technique, Chen Mu nodded slightly and said:
"Although it is not a method of cultivating the mind and soul developed from the martial arts, the great way is unified, and at this point, almost all different paths lead to the same destination. However, the cultivation threshold of this method is higher than you think, and ordinary celestial beings are not qualified."

This soul refining technique has a unique practice method. It involves refining a wisp of 'divine fire' from one's own heart and soul, and then using the divine fire to forge the heart and soul. Using the heaven and earth as a furnace and the Yuan Qi as nourishment to refine the heart and soul, according to this method, the practice process must be extremely painful and not something that ordinary people can endure. Only when one can condense the immortal spiritual light can one be qualified to practice.

Otherwise, even for a master of heaven and earth, using this method to sacrifice and temper the soul would still be extremely risky. After all, among the masters of heaven and earth, not all of them can condense their souls into an immortal aura.

"Then, will this method be effective on Chen Sheng?"

After hearing what Chen Mu said, a glimmer of light flashed in Mu Qingyi's eyes. She naturally would not doubt Chen Mu's words. Since Chen Mu said that even ordinary celestial beings were not qualified to practice, he could not be wrong.

Chen Mu did not answer immediately, but closed his eyes slightly. Then, with a thought, a system panel appeared in front of him.

He stared at the system panel for a while until something suddenly floated on the system panel, and lines of new text emerged from the bottom and appeared in front of him.

[Soul Path: Soul Refining Technique (Not yet introduced)]

[Experience: 5 points]

"As expected, as long as we have a complete training method, the system panel can use it for our own benefit."

Chen Mu looked at the description appearing on the system panel, his expression remained calm and his heart was at ease.

This soul refining technique, according to its description, has a total of three levels. The mind and soul will be improved step by step with the progress of the ritual. After completing the last level of practice, one can cultivate an immortal soul and step over the threshold of the divine realm!
For him, with this technique, even without the assistance of the system panel, he is confident that he can practice it step by step with his own ability until he can condense a complete immortal soul. However, in terms of efficiency, it is definitely not as good as the system panel.

Anyway.

With this soul refining technique, a major obstacle on his way to the divine realm was removed quietly.

"This technique is very useful to me."

Chen Mu closed the system panel with a thought, and slowly opened his eyes, looking at Mu Qingyi, and said in a light tone: "With this method, I can save a lot of effort. I owe the Hehuan Sect a cause and effect. If Sect Master Mu has any request, please feel free to mention it."

After hearing this, Mu Qingyi's expression became solemn and she said, "But there are two things I would like to ask Chen Sheng for help."

"Tell me about it."

Chen Mu looked calm.

Mu Qingyi said solemnly: "The world is now nine-tenths divided. Chen Sheng has restored order and reorganized the world. The world is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt. However, my disciples of Hehuan's generation are all useless and no one can hold up the responsibility. If one day Hehuan's inheritance is cut off, I hope Chen Sheng can help."

When the Hehuan Sect was at its most prosperous, it had one sect master and two saintesses, but now there is only one sect master and no saintesses who can inherit the sect. Mu Qingyi also has her own ambitions and wants to pursue further advancement in martial arts, but hardships and misfortunes have always coexisted. At her current point, it is not easy to go any further, and the barrier between heaven and man is not something that can be easily crossed.

She always explores the outer seas, or even the wilderness, to seek opportunities to enter the realm of heaven.

But now in the Hehuan Sect, she is the only leader, and there is no successor who can take up the responsibility. Therefore, for the sake of sect inheritance, she has to guard the Hehuan Sect and cannot put herself in danger, but this is not what she wants.

Despite some past karmic connections between the Hehuan Sect and Chen Mu, as well as the relationships between Hua Nong Yue, Hua Nong Ying and others, if the Hehuan Sect was really in trouble, Chen Mu would most likely help, but since it involved the importance of the sect's inheritance, he couldn't just sit back and relax.

"Okay, as long as I am alive, the Hehuan inheritance will last."

After hearing Mu Qingyi's words, Chen Mu nodded slightly with a calm expression.

In fact, given the past karma between him and the Hehuan Sect, if the sect really encountered any difficulties, he probably would not sit idly by. Mu Qingyi hoped to get a promise from him to keep the Hehuan heritage immortal, but it didn't matter to him.

If the request mentioned by Mu Qingyi was that she hoped the Hehuan Sect could prosper, then he might have considered it. After all, protecting the prosperity of a sect and protecting the continuous inheritance of a sect are two different concepts. Although he did not have much discrimination against the Hehuan Sect, he did not think that the Hehuan Sect was suitable to develop into the "number one sect in the world" with disciples all over the world. That would lead the whole world astray.

Obviously, Mu Qingyi, the leader of the Hehuan Sect, is also aware of this.

In other words, the reason why the Hehuan Sect prospered was precisely because of the troubled times. If everyone in the world lived and worked in peace and contentment, there would probably be very few people willing to join the Hehuan Sect. Therefore, the Hehuan Sect prospers in troubled times and declines in prosperous times, which is a cycle.

It is enough to ask Chen Mu for an immortal sect inheritance. As for whether the Hehuan Sect will prosper or not, "harmony among people" is certainly important, but "time" is still more important.

of course.

There was another reason why Mu Qingyi only asked Chen Mu to ensure the continuation of the Hehuan inheritance, and that was that she had a second request.

"As for the second thing... Chen Sheng should have heard of our sect's previous leader."

"Have heard a little bit."

When Chen Mu heard Mu Qingyi's words, he nodded slightly.

He didn't know much about the previous leader of the Hehuan Sect, Ye Junhong. He only knew that he was once a powerful man famous throughout the world, but there was no news about him more than 20 years ago. It was not until more than 10 years ago when Mu Qingyi, the Holy Maiden of Hehuan, inherited the position of leader that the outside world learned that the previous leader of the Hehuan Sect might have met with an accident.

Because in the Hehuan Sect, the leader would always die before the saint girl would succeed to the position of leader.

"In fact, Master did not encounter any accident more than ten years ago. Instead, he disappeared in the Great Wilderness after exploring the Great Wilderness twenty years ago. He never returned and his whereabouts are completely unknown."

"I have traveled to the Great Wilderness several times, trying to find the trace of my master. Finally, six years ago, I found some traces, but was blocked by a demon. I was forced to retreat due to its threat."

Speaking of it.

Mu Qingyi's eyes showed a solemn look, and she said, "So the second thing is, I hope that when the Great Wilderness opens next time, Chen Sheng can go with me and help me destroy that monster. That monster is as powerful as a celestial being, and it is a great threat to me, but to Chen Sheng, it should not be a threat, and it will be easy to kill it."

After hearing what Mu Qingyi said, Chen Mu couldn't help but ponder for a moment, and said, "You should know that the void in the Great Wilderness is unpredictable. Six years ago, when the Great Wilderness appeared, you happened to find traces of your master, but you may not be able to find it again next time you go there."

Mu Qingyi said seriously, "That's true. As far as I know, Master's strength is on par with mine. If we fell into the valley with that monster and got trapped inside, we would most likely have met with misfortune. But as a human being, we have to do what we must do. Master's life is far from over. Since we have found a trace, we should get to the bottom of it... Regardless of whether we can find that place next time the Great Wilderness opens, please ask Chen Sheng to go with us. This is the only time."

After hearing this, Chen Mu thought for a moment and said:
"I can agree to this, but I have no plans to explore the Great Wilderness in the short term. I still need to delve into this soul-refining technique. It will take at least three to five years before I can explore the Great Wilderness."

The Great Wilderness involves secrets above the God Realm and the secrets of countless worlds. He will explore it sooner or later, but not now. After all, his current strength is far from reaching the upper limit of what can be improved, and the Great Wilderness is full of dangers. Even if the real God Realm cannot be entered, there may be the existence of gods at the eighth or even ninth level.

At least he would have to wait until he had raised his current strength to the extreme and could not make any further progress for the time being before he would consider entering the wilderness to explore the secrets of the world.

Hear Chen Mu’s answer.

Mu Qingyi did not show any surprise. Indeed, Chen Mu had just obtained the secret technique of cultivating the mind and soul in the Great Wilderness from her. It was impossible for him to give up the secret technique and not study it, but to immediately venture out to explore the Great Wilderness. Moreover, there was no fixed time for the opening of the Great Wilderness.

"Then we will wait until Chen Sheng is interested, and then we can go into the Great Wilderness to explore."

"it is good."

Chen Mu handed the scroll of demon skin in his hand back to Mu Qingyi. It was a pure surprise that he could obtain the Great Wilderness Secret Soul Refining Technique from the Hehuan Sect. Originally, after this discussion in Kunlun, he was going to return to the Qixuan Sect to meditate on the origin of the void, but now he can first sacrifice and refine his heart and soul.

After all, the heart and soul are the key. The stronger the heart and soul, the easier it is to comprehend the origin of the Tao, and the faster to accumulate experience on the system panel. In addition, training the heart and soul to the extreme and condensing an immortal soul is also an indispensable step in entering the realm of gods.

Mu Qingyi took the demon skin and put it into her sleeves. Then she stood up and said to Chen Mu with a smile, "It's rare for Chen Sheng to come to Hehuan. You can stay for a few more days and let the Hehuan Sect show its hospitality."

Chen Mu wanted to refuse, but then he thought about Hua Nong Yue and Hua Nong Ying's heart and soul. He couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful look and said, "Master Mu is so kind, I will be disrespectful to refuse it."

It would be a good opportunity to stay in the Hehuan Sect for two days, so as to study the special mental and spiritual states of Hua Nong Yue and Hua Nong Ying.

……

a few days later.

In the valley of the Hehuan Sect, in an elegant pavilion somewhere.

"You plan to stay in the sect to practice meditation?"

Chen Mu sat in front of a yellow pear wood table, holding a teacup in his hand. He took a sip of tea and spoke to Hua Nongying and Hua Nonyue who were sitting on both sides.

Hua Nongyue rubbed Chen Mu's left shoulder with her little hand and said, "My sister and I can hardly help you with our current abilities. We have learned a lot from you these past few days. If we practice in seclusion, we will surely gain something... My sister and I are willing to serve you all the time. But you are going back to the Qixuan Sect, right? If we go back with you, it might cause you some trouble."

Chen Mu pondered for a moment and said, "That's good. You have just entered the Marrow Cleansing Realm. Now is the time to accumulate your foundation. The sooner you can cultivate your martial body to perfection, the sooner you can reach the threshold of blood exchange."

As the true descendants of Hehuan from the previous generation, Hua Nongying and Hua Nonyue have now become masters. Naturally, they will have the opportunity to glimpse the realm of blood exchange in the future. Moreover, he still finds it amazing that he has been studying the souls of Hua Nongying and Hua Nonyue these days. The conditions of the two are even more mysterious than the Great Wilderness secret technique 'Soul-Splitting Doll' he got from Mo Zun. Even he can't predict what changes will happen to the two after they enter the blood exchange realm and their souls are completely condensed and formed.

It would be just right to let Hua Nongying and Hua Nonyue stay in the Hehuan Sect to practice in seclusion for a while.

Hua Nong Yue looked up at Chen Mu, her eyes as bright as water, and said, "We have long been your playthings, and we will only live for you for the rest of our lives. Of course, we will obey your arrangements in everything. As long as you are willing, we sisters will rush to your side in an instant, even if it is thousands of miles away."

Although they didn't know what Chen Mu and Sect Master Mu Qingyi had talked about specifically, she and Hua Nongying knew that Chen Mu had personally promised him that as long as he did so, the Hehuan Sect's inheritance would never be cut off.

Born in the Hehuan Sect, what one pursues throughout one's life is nothing more than the prosperity of the sect and the inheritance of the sect. With Chen Mu's current status, if he says this, then the Hehuan Sect will be as stable as a rock in the next few hundred years.

Chen Mu shook his head slightly and stood up. Some memories of the past flashed through his mind and he felt that the past was like smoke and dust.

"I only hope that you can keep moving forward in the way of martial arts, so that I won't be the only one walking in this world in the future."

Hearing Chen Mu's words.

Hua Nong Yue and Hua Nong Ying looked at each other, and the sisters understood each other.

They knew that in the future Chen Mu might be able to open up everything, reach the divine realm, transcend heaven and earth, and achieve immortality, but everything else in this world would slowly decay with the passage of time.

Obviously Chen Mu has not reached that step yet, but he has already thought about that time. The two sisters still have some talent and ability, and naturally they have rising faith in their hearts. They don't ask to catch up with Chen Mu, but at least they want to follow him as far as possible.

……

Qixuanzong.

After leaving Hehuan, Chen Mu went all the way back to Qixuan Sect without any delay along the way.

After he returned to Qixuan Sect, Yin Heng and Qin Mengjun still hadn't returned.

Chen Mu was not worried. In today's world, there were probably not many people who dared to harm Yin Heng and Qin Mengjun. What's more, Yin Heng and Qin Mengjun were both blood exchange masters who were capable of dominating the world. Except for the top few celestial beings, no one could threaten them.

After a warm exchange with Xu Hongyu and the others, he once again stepped into the forbidden valley of the Qixuan Sect.

“I don’t know when I can cultivate the immortal divine body, but with this soul refining technique, the immortal divine soul is just around the corner.”

Chen Mu murmured to himself.

In his mind, he recalled all the contents about soul refining recorded on the scroll of demon skin.

The practice of this soul-refining technique is quite bold. It involves the sacrifice of three kinds of flames to sharpen the mind and soul, progressing step by step until the mind and soul are completely transformed and an immortal soul is achieved.

The first level uses the fire of the human body, which is condensed with the magnificent blood and energy in the martial body and transformed into a ray of extremely yang blood and fire. It is used to sacrifice and burn the heart and soul, which is called 'blood and fire to refine the soul'!
This first step alone is extremely difficult. First of all, if you don't condense the immortal spiritual light, you will not be able to withstand the tempering of this extremely yang blood and fire. It will only damage your heart and soul without any improvement effect.

Secondly, it is not so easy to condense the most yang blood and fire. The physical body itself needs to reach a certain level. It is described in it that one needs to practice into a "Supreme Saint Body". Chen Mu does not know what level the so-called Supreme Saint Body is, but according to the description, it is probably not something that an ordinary martial artist in the blood exchange realm can do.

but.

For him, no matter what, it is not difficult.

"The Yang Blood Fire..."

Chen Mu muttered to himself, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then he closed his eyes.

He memorized the method of condensing the most yang blood and fire in his heart, and began to try to mobilize his blood and qi according to the method. In an instant, the surging blood and qi in his body began to surge like a river tide.

however.

Half a day passed like this. Chen Mu tried the method of condensing blood and fire countless times, but he still couldn't condense blood and fire.

"It's really not that simple."

Chen Mu quickly opened his eyes and frowned slightly.

The reason why he couldn't condense blood and fire was definitely not because his physique was not strong enough or his qi and blood were not abundant enough, but because there must be a structural difference between the Qiankun martial body he cultivated and the so-called Supreme Barbarian Body.

Although there are countless paths in the world that are unified in reaching the divine realm, the steps forward are different. For example, the spiritual bodies cultivated by the Xunmu Cave Tianling people that Chen Mu had come into contact with and the body-tempering martial arts cultivated by Daxuan have differences in details.

Obviously.

This method of using a barbaric body to condense blood and fire cannot be replicated using a martial body. This secret method needs to be carefully studied and improved upon to create a method suitable for body tempering martial arts.

However, this would not be achieved in a short period of time. After all, this level of martial arts is not ordinary, especially the two completely different cultivation systems. It is not easy to absorb and comprehend them with Chen Mu's current ability. It may take years or even decades of careful consideration and exploration.

however.

Chen Mu was not discouraged at this time.

Because compared to slowly improving the training method to make it suitable for body-tempering martial arts, he has another plan.

A thought.

Chen Mu then called up the system panel.

[Soul Path: Soul Refining Technique (Not yet introduced)]

[Experience: 49 points]

After just one glance, Chen Mu's gaze became much calmer, because it was no surprise that the experience in soul refining on the system panel had increased.

Even if they are two completely different systems with incompatible training methods, as long as he practices, he can gain experience and can force himself to succeed through the system panel!
