Wu Shattered Star River

Forging a soul consciousness sea wasn't complex, mainly because the wooden figure was born with a simplified version of a soul consciousness sea. Jiang Han merely expanded it.

This wooden figure had probably been imbued for a long time, and it had already formed a trace of sentience. It was normal for it to possess a soul consciousness sea.

Splitting the soul, however, was quite difficult.

Because Jiang Han wasn't a soul cultivator, and the soul was too important, he didn't dare to be careless. It took him a month and a half to succeed in splitting his soul.

After splitting his soul, he became extremely weak. He refined a large amount of soul-nourishing divine medicine. Fortunately, he had killed too many powerful individuals, and many of their spatial rings contained a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, enough for him to replenish himself.

After splitting his soul, he went out to rest for five days before barely recovering.

He opened his eyes and looked at the wooden figure standing in front of him. He could sense everything within the wooden figure through the split soul, and he could sense the outside world through the wooden figure.

This feeling was very wonderful, as if he had an extra pair of eyes, a pair of ears, and a nose.

"The soul split is a great success."

Jiang Han nodded slightly. The split soul was very fragile and needed to be nurtured for a period of time. He wasn't in a hurry. He supplemented the split soul with some nourishing spiritual medicine to allow it to slowly nurture and grow.

He felt a sense of relief in his heart. The most difficult part of cultivating the ancient avatar technique was splitting the soul. The following two steps would be much simpler.

Of course, whether this ancient avatar technique was truly successful would depend on the following two steps, as well as what this avatar would eventually become after completing all the steps, and whether it could become a true little Jiang Han.

He began to refine the second step.

Refining the wooden figure's body, he needed to transform this wooden figure into a real person, with flesh and blood.

Of course, the wooden figure was made of wood, and it was impossible to become a real person. As long as it was roughly similar and could move freely, that would be enough.

Jiang Han began to cultivate immortal power, and he cultivated a large amount of immortal power, then continuously poured the immortal power into the body.

After pouring in immortal power, Jiang Han began to construct meridians within the wooden figure's body.

After the immortal power entered, it would disperse to all parts of the wooden figure's body. Without meridians, it would be very difficult for the immortal power to circulate.

If immortal power couldn't circulate, this wooden figure would be a useless person, and its movements wouldn't be very agile.

Jiang Han arranged the meridians according to the structure of the human body. There were tens of thousands of meridians, large and small, in the human body, so this work was very tedious.

Fortunately, Jiang Han had previously cultivated the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique, and he had arranged divine patterns and fates in many places in his body, so he had some experience, and condensing the meridians was relatively smooth.

This kind of work didn't have any special difficulty, it just took a lot of time and energy.

After condensing for three full months, Jiang Han successfully condensed tens of thousands of meridians. Jiang Han not only condensed the meridians, but also casually condensed an immortal seal…

With the immortal seal, this wooden figure was a pseudo-immortal. If it could survive, it could cultivate and accumulate immortal power.

Of course…

Jiang Han wasn't a powerful law cultivator, so even if he condensed an immortal seal, this avatar would be a waste. Its combat power couldn't be too strong. Could it compare to an Immortal Venerable? It was impossible to reach the combat power of an Immortal King.

He poured a large amount of immortal power into the avatar's body, allowing the immortal power to circulate and nurture the avatar.

The split soul had been nurtured for three months, and it had now stabilized. Although it wasn't very powerful, it was a complete soul.

"There's still the last step left!"

Jiang Han nodded secretly. After resting for a day, he began to think of ways to make the avatar "live", to merge the avatar's soul and body, so that the avatar could be considered a great success.

This step was very difficult…

After all, it was a man-made dummy. How could it be so easy to come to life?

Jiang Han poured in immortal power and soul power, and began to merge the split soul and the avatar, establishing a connection and forming a complete whole.

This pouring lasted for a whole month, but the split soul and the avatar were still distinct and didn't show any signs of merging.

The split soul couldn't control the avatar, and it was still a dead object.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Han released a light罩, isolating the astral winds, and took out the animal skin scroll to repeatedly check it.

After looking at it for a while, he found that the refining was correct. He was doing it step by step according to the steps on the animal skin scroll, and it all seemed to be going smoothly so far.

But why couldn't it merge? Why couldn't it completely "live"?

"Could it be that this isn't Yin-Yang Wood? Is the level of the raw materials not enough, so the refining failed?"

Jiang Han muttered a few words, his eyes filled with disappointment. Had he failed after all this time and effort?

It had cost him so much soul power and immortal power, and his soul vitality was still greatly damaged. He would need at least half a year of slow nurturing to fully recover.

He had never heard of Yin-Yang Wood, let alone seen it, but he didn't see the Yin-Yang aspect on the wooden figure at all.

So it was likely that this wasn't Yin-Yang Wood, let alone Heavenly Fate Stone and Primordial Divine Embryo. If the level of the raw materials wasn't enough, then it was normal for the refining to fail.

Another wasted effort!

Jiang Han sighed. He stopped and turned his gaze to Little Vermilion Bird. He saw that Little Vermilion Bird was actually within a few hundred feet of the Astral Wind Heart. Little Vermilion Bird's defense was improving very quickly.

"咻!"

Jiang Han flew over. Little Vermilion Bird immediately flew happily towards Jiang Han. Jiang Han mobilized some immortal power for it to absorb.

Little Vermilion Bird didn't fall asleep after absorbing it. It flew out again to continue improving its defense.

Jiang Han glanced at the wooden figure in the distance, then flashed out of the Other Shore Space. He was tired and wanted to go out and have a good sleep before thinking about it.

After sleeping for a few days, he woke up and entered the spatial artifact, wanting to try one last time to see if there was a chance to refine the avatar.

"Uh…"

He was dumbfounded after entering!

Because the wooden figure was actually flying in mid-air, waving its arms and claws non-stop, seemingly trying to scare Little Vermilion Bird away from approaching the Astral Wind Heart.

"What's the situation?"

Jiang Han was dumbfounded. Hadn't he erased the wooden figure's sentience? Why had the wooden figure come back to life? Could it be that he hadn't completely erased the wooden figure's sentience?

He flashed to the wooden figure's side, but the wooden figure didn't wave its arms and claws at him. Instead, it flew over very affectionately and rubbed against him.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Han placed his hand on the wooden figure's head and released soul power to investigate.

After investigating for a while, an expression of astonishment appeared on his face.

He had previously constructed a soul in the wooden figure's soul consciousness sea, but at this moment, this soul felt like it had no connection to him.

On the contrary… there was sentience within the soul, and that sentience dominated the entire soul consciousness sea.

In other words!

The wooden figure's sentience was indeed still there. It had taken over his split soul like a cuckoo occupying another bird's nest.

He investigated the wooden figure's body again, and his heart trembled!

The wooden figure's soul and body had merged, the immortal power inside was circulating, and the wooden figure had indeed come to life, but it wasn't his avatar.

That is to say, he had spent several months, consuming a large amount of soul power and immortal power, only to help the wooden figure improve and come to life.

He had done the wedding dress for the wooden figure for nothing.

However, the only good thing was that his split soul was within the wooden figure's soul, so the wooden figure was very affectionate towards him.

It was more like… his son?
