Chapter 340

"The soul is transforming."

"Willpower is improving," Li Yuan thought to himself.

In just three months, willpower improved from level 40 to level 41.

Although spiritual power did not improve in level, Li Yuan clearly felt the subtle changes in his soul.

But this was far from enough.

"My body cannot provide any help for nurturing the soul, and instead, it is implicitly becoming a drag," Li Yuan noticed this point: "Must squeeze myself to a greater extent."

Just like this, when Li Yuan practiced the "Great Sun Starry Sky Sutra", his consciousness body was closer to that great sun.

The cultivation effect was indeed better, but the pain of tearing the soul also soared again!!

The damage to the soul was greater.

Therefore, the number of Fourth Rank soul treasures Li Yuan consumed was also increasing... a large amount of Seven Star points were thrown in, making Old Yun, who was responsible for procurement, surprised.

The quantity was too large.

Even if purchased through the Ten Thousand Worlds Chamber of Commerce, the price gradually increased, and he had to report to Dongfang Ji again.

"Let him be."

"The birth of a peerless monster requires talent, perseverance, and massive resources; these three are indispensable," Dongfang Ji was very calm: "Finally, there must be a little bit of luck."

"It's just that this consumes too many resources," the low voice couldn't help but say: "If we still use the original point pricing, I'm afraid we'll lose money."

"Li Yuan has enough talent and strong enough perseverance," Dongfang Ji shook his head: "What are these resources? They don't even add up to a Sixth Rank treasure... don't feel bad; hasn't the resource mining in the Mingxu Star Realm already begun? It will all be earned back."

"Master, I'm just worried that it will all be for nothing in the end," the low voice said.

"How can everything have a return?" Dongfang Ji smiled: "Those gods who take apprentices, each one is a peerless monster, and they will all pay massive resources to cultivate... in the end, it's hard for even one in ten to become a god."

"Giving and getting."

"Without giving, where is the getting?"

Accompanied by Li Yuan's crazy cultivation, time passed, and the changes in his soul fluctuations naturally were sensed by Liu Bing.

Inside the Heavenly Snake Palace.

"Big brother."

"Why are his spiritual fluctuations so violent? Why is he in so much pain?" The green snake Liu Bing sensed the outside world, sensed Li Yuan's situation, and was worried for him.

For the first few months of Li Yuan's cultivation, his soul fluctuations were still normal.

Plus, most of the time he was resting, Liu Bing didn't pay much attention.

She had been focusing on her own cultivation.

But now, the situation had changed greatly from the beginning; in the quiet room outside, Li Yuan's body was faintly covered in blood, and his body was trembling.

The soul pain was so great that his body was about to collapse; this was absolutely horrifying, and as the Source power operated, it would gradually restore his body's injuries.

And soon, under the influence of the soul's excruciating pain, his body would bleed again.

Constantly repeating!

The body's injuries were easy to restore, but the soul's pain could not be alleviated.

How could Liu Bing not notice such violent soul fluctuations?

Swish~

Inside the palace, a burly phantom with a single horn condensed; it was Venerable Qiu Bing.

"He should be trying to impact a demigod soul," Venerable Qiu Bing said softly: "His ambition is truly great, a Source martial artist... actually wanting to become a demigod soul."

"A demigod soul?" Liu Bing was stunned: "Can he succeed?"

"He should be practicing an extremely high-level meditation method, perhaps not inferior to your inherited meditation method, able to temper the soul and restore the soul to the limit," Venerable Qiu Bing said: "At the same time, this Seven Star Civilization is indeed special, actually able to get so many Fourth Rank treasures for him to assist his soul cultivation."

"Even so, the hope of success is very low," Venerable Qiu Bing said: "The external environment is still too poor."

"The hope is very low?" Liu Bing felt a pain in her heart.

"Little Bing, think about it, in your inherited memories, among the past Holy Blood Heavenly Snakes, how many could reach a demigod soul at the Second Rank?" Venerable Qiu Bing shook his head: "Didn't they all say that as long as you cross the threshold of the Law and temper your spirit and willpower to the Flying Heaven limit, you can break through to Flying Heaven?"

"Yes," Liu Bing nodded; in her inherited memories, there was a whole set of standards.

Over these few years.

She had been cultivating with all her heart, and her progress was very astonishing... the natural bloodline blessing allowed her to cross the threshold of the Law of Wind, but her spiritual willpower progress was not fast.

There was no way; she had only been born for a few years, and spiritual growth is very difficult.

"At the Second Rank, even if you practice the supreme body-refining Star Art, the body is too weak; forcing a demigod soul actually doesn't have much meaning."

"Logically, with Li Yuan's powerful willpower, once he breaks through to the Flying Heaven realm, his soul will rapidly transform into a demigod level... blindly pursuing the limit is instead easy to cause the danger of soul collapse. Unless, he wants to use this to impact higher Star Pulses... but according to his rate of progress, practicing step by step, he can still reach Seven Star Pulses in a few years."

"No need to be so demanding at this moment."

"Can't understand," Venerable Qiu Bing truly didn't understand Li Yuan's actions.

"Seven Star Pulses are no difficulty for big brother," Liu Bing said: "Is big brother trying to impact Eight Star Pulses at the Second Rank?"

"Impossible!" Venerable Qiu Bing shook his head: "His talent is high, but he is in the dimensional domain; the cultivation conditions of the Seven Star Civilization are only relatively good in the mortal domain, and compared to the large forces of the Divine Domain, the difference is uncountable."

"And now he hasn't entered the Nine-Leaf Nine-Mountain, unless there is a god who gets origin supreme treasures... otherwise, even if he awakens a demigod soul, there is not a glimmer of hope."

"The few Second Rank Eight Star Pulses born in my Heavenly Snake clan's history were all very special," Venerable Qiu Bing said: "The strongest talent, plus the best external conditions... plus some luck."

"Only then can a Second Rank Eight Star Pulse be born."

"This represents that the foundation is stronger than the strongest divine beast," Venerable Qiu Bing said: "Those who lived and grew up in the clan's history all shook an era in the end."

Liu Bing couldn't help but nod.

In her inherited memories, there were relevant accounts.

"Could there be a miracle?" Liu Bing couldn't help but ask; she really hoped Li Yuan would become powerful.

"Little Bing, so-called miracles ultimately have traces to follow," Venerable Qiu Bing said: "Like Li Yuan, if he can become a demigod soul, it can be considered a miracle... but the foundation for this miracle is that his willpower has already reached the demigod level."

"Eight Star Pulses?"

"He hasn't even reached Seven Star Pulses now, how can he reach Eight Star Pulses?" Venerable Qiu Bing shook his head: "The Second Rank, ultimately, the earlier you break through, the better, at the latest don't exceed fifty years old."

Liu Bing nodded her snake head slightly.

"Then should I persuade big brother?" Liu Bing said in a low voice.

"You can persuade, but don't persuade too much."

Venerable Qiu Bing said: "The path of cultivation is walked by oneself... since he chose to walk this path, he naturally has determination."

"The more powerful the willpower, once a decision is made, the more unshakable it is!"

Liu Bing's persuasion.

Failed without any surprise.

"Little Bing, I understand, I have a plan in my heart," Li Yuan smiled and responded to Liu Bing.

Don't have to demand a demigod soul as a Source martial artist?

Second Rank Eight Star Pulses have been few and far between in the Heavenly Snake clan's tens of millions of years of history?

"What I pursue is to turn the impossible into the possible," Li Yuan's willpower was determined to a terrifying degree.

He had already seen the possibility of soul transformation, how could he give up?

Time is like water.

Every day, Li Yuan would practice meditation methods for more than three hours, but the squeezing was too extreme, and restoring the soul instead took more than ten hours... for the remaining time, he would continue to try to awaken life stars, but the awakening speed remained slow.

For the remaining time, Li Yuan would realize the Thousand Illusion Array Map and the Starry Sky Ten Thousand Phenomena Map, constantly advancing his realization of True Intent.

In the blink of an eye, it was May 2050.

Without knowing it, Li Yuan's True Intent of Wind finally broke through, from the sixth stage mid-tier to the sixth stage high-tier... the two great Laws had reached the same height, and combining them actually caused the power of Li Yuan's spear technique to soar again.

In the past, in terms of the mystery of moves, Li Yuan had only just reached the demigod threshold.

But nowadays, it is no less than a normal demigod.

It's a pity that the mystery of Law combination only improves combat power... it doesn't help much with Li Yuan's soul transformation breakthrough.

The only benefit is that under the influence of True Intent mystery, the soul recovers faster and willpower grows faster.

Li Yuan did not give up; he had spent 1.5 million Seven Star points to purchase Fourth Rank soul treasures.

No less than consuming a divine artifact.

But the most critical thing is the soul's fatigue... being squeezed again and again, approaching the limit again and again, no matter how you use external objects to restore injuries, the soul's essential fatigue cannot be eliminated.

Want to eliminate it? Only time! Need a long rest.

Just like a person working, a company can improve work efficiency by issuing bonuses, can boost spirit by drinking coffee, food supplements, etc... but it will significantly increase the risk of sudden death.

Li Yuan's current situation is exactly like this.

No matter how strong his willpower is, no matter how much he can endure, the Flying Heaven-tier soul has a limit of endurance... once this limit is exceeded, it is the end of soul collapse.

Once it reaches that step, ordinary Fourth Rank treasures are useless.

Dongfang Ji finally summoned Li Yuan again.

"Why is your soul so tired?" Dongfang Ji was surprised, realizing that something was wrong.

With his realm, he could feel the fatigue transmitted under Li Yuan's determined eyes.

It was as if he were a twilight old man.

"You don't have to fight so hard; it is destined to be Seven Star Pulses, early or late, the difference is not big," Dongfang Ji shook his head: "Your President back then, as a Source martial artist, had no hope of impacting Seven Star Pulses, so he gave up."

"Nowadays, he has still become Seven Star Pulses," Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan: "You are already the most excellent person in the history of our Seven Star Civilization."

"Everything is too much." Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan; he was truly worried that Li Yuan would have an accident.

"Alliance Leader," Li Yuan smiled: "I just hope you can support me as much as possible."

Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan's eyes and sighed, thinking of many things for a moment.

"Okay." Dongfang Ji ultimately did not stop Li Yuan.

If he wanted to stop him, he could just cut off Li Yuan's treasure supply.

"Li Yuan, it's too dangerous."

"With this way of practicing, before your soul transforms, you will collapse yourself," Senior Gu You was full of worry.

She originally thought that Li Yuan wouldn't be able to hold on for too long, and then he would give up this path.

Or slowly awaken Seven Star Pulses, and then feel the difficulty of Eight Star Pulses, and naturally accept reality.

But she didn't expect that Li Yuan would choose to impact a demigod soul; this difficulty was too high.

And the more she observed, the more shocked she was.

How terrifying must his resilience be to be able to grit his teeth and support it? Li Yuan was still fighting hard, and Senior Gu You was instead afraid.

... "Big brother!"

"You must give up."

"At most three months, if you continue to practice and squeeze yourself like this, you will definitely have a soul collapse," Liu Bing's attitude changed completely, because she and Li Yuan were soul-connected.

She knew Li Yuan's soul state best, and it already had a trend of collapse.

"Three months?"

"Little Bing, thank you for the reminder."

"Then let's fight for another three months," Li Yuan practiced to this point, instead feeling much calmer.

Only this one chance.

Once given up, once rested.

Then, the soul that is approaching transformation in the squeezing again and again, limited by the body, will gradually become weak... and next time, he will have to start from scratch.

Just like this.

Amidst many worries and doubts, Li Yuan's heart was unshakable, continuing to persist!!

The path of the strong is destined to be bumpy.

Opportunity? Talent?

Without absolutely powerful willpower, without unprecedented determination, just having these is hard to reach the peak... just like Li Yuan when he first got the meditation method as a youth, even if he relaxed a bit in practice, he was destined to have good achievements, but he chose to do his best, giving up all rest time, and did his best.

At the moment.

If he practiced step by step, spent a few more years, broke through with Seven Star Pulses, and waited until he reached the Flying Heaven realm to become Eight Star Pulses... he would still have a bright future, and there would be no risk of soul collapse.

But Li Yuan felt it wasn't enough.

"Just like my college entrance exam, failing to get into Starfire Martial University, I never regretted it, because I had already done my best."

"Nowadays, it is the same."

"The opportunity is right in front of me."

"As long as I reach a demigod soul, there is hope of raising the spiritual guidance limit to 75%, and there is hope of awakening Eight Star Pulses!!"

A Source martial artist performing the third spiritual guidance, and a Flying Heaven tier performing the third spiritual guidance.

There is an essential difference.

"Give up?"

"If I bet everything, bet everything, and still fail in the end, then there is no regret," Li Yuan felt peaceful inside.

Do what you can do to the limit.

Leave the rest to fate!

In the blink of an eye, nearly four months passed.

Inside the quiet room.

"Crack~"

Li Yuan was already lying directly on the ground, his body faintly curled up, trembling, the terrifying pain originating from the soul made him completely unable to control his body... his majority of spiritual consciousness was still gathered at the Great Sun Jade Platform.

Still trying his best to persist.

Because, before the last meditation practice, Li Yuan noticed a strange change in his own soul.

"Transformation!"

"The soul origin has been squeezed to the limit, about to completely transform."

Therefore, Li Yuan did not hesitate again, choosing to let go and fight.

This time practicing meditation methods, he had already spent more than three days, which was the longest time he had practiced meditation methods in more than half a year.

There was no pause for a moment.

However, Li Yuan's soul, which had long been close to the limit.

On the eve of transformation, under the scorching of the great sun, it actually couldn't support it and gradually began to collapse.

Too tired!

Too exhausted!

Just like a marathon runner, giving everything, when he was about to reach the finish line with strong willpower, his body couldn't bear it.

"Boom boom boom~" Li Yuan's consciousness collapsed, and the soul entered a process of collapse.
