Chapter 404

In the spiritual sea space of Ye Qingxuan.

An immortal soul and a primordial spirit sat facing each other.

Nine embryonic minor divine abilities, composed of countless runes, floated within the spiritual sea.

Around Ye Qingxuan's primordial spirit, fifteen rules of mystery evolved and circled.

During this evolution.

These rules of mystery emitted waves of Daoic resonance that merged into Ye Qingxuan's primordial spirit.

The merging of these rules and resonance kept Ye Qingxuan's primordial spirit in a state of slow strengthening and transformation.

And before Ye Qingxuan's immortal soul.

There stood a jade bottle emitting seven-colored light.

Enveloped by the light radiating from the immortal soul, it was being slowly refined.

At the current refining speed and acceleration.

He still could not actively draw upon too much power from his own immortal soul.

Even so, the improvement of his immortal soul and primordial spirit had driven an increase in his comprehension.

As the refining progress deepened.

During the process of refining the Immortal Vial of Longevity, he could only rely on the power of his immortal soul for passive refinement.

If one day, his primordial spirit also transformed into an immortal soul.

At that time, the two immortal souls would merge.

Ye Qingxuan could sense.

Looking at the immortal soul and primordial spirit within his spiritual sea.

It was just that his current cultivation base was too weak, and the impact of his cultivation improvement on the immortal soul was too small.

It would probably still require about forty years.

A look of contemplation appeared in Ye Qingxuan's eyes.

The level of his primordial spirit was still too low now.

Even if it merged into the immortal soul, it could not bring about a significant transformation to the immortal soul.

Now, more than thirty years had passed.

Looking at the immortal soul and primordial spirit within his spiritual sea.

Ye Qingxuan could clearly sense that his comprehension had improved significantly.

However, the deep golden light radiating from the immortal soul had become increasingly brilliant.

But, with Ye Qingxuan's current cultivation base.

The impulse in Ye Qingxuan's eyes turned into expectation.

Using the power of his own immortal soul, he prepared to forcibly refine this immortal artifact.

Perhaps it could allow his immortal soul to complete its final qualitative transformation?

Thinking of this.

A cultivator's comprehension is not unchanging.

However, Ye Qingxuan ultimately suppressed this impulse of his.

A cultivator's comprehension is also constantly improving.

Not only was his primordial spirit constantly transforming, but his immortal soul was also slowly improving.

Therefore, this change was not yet obvious for the time being.

Since obtaining the Immortal Vial of Longevity.

His immortal soul had been gradually improving along with the rise of his cultivation base.

With the rise of his cultivation base, his essence, qi, and spirit underwent a comprehensive transformation.

Over these years, with the improvement of his own cultivation base.

Now, although his immortal soul showed no obvious changes at first glance.

Ye Qingxuan's refining speed of the Immortal Vial of Longevity was also constantly accelerating.

Ye Qingxuan could completely refine the Immortal Vial of Longevity, this mid-grade immortal artifact.

Ye Qingxuan felt an impulse to merge the two into one.

This seven-colored jade bottle was the immortal artifact, the Immortal Vial of Longevity, that Ye Qingxuan had obtained previously.

Ye Qingxuan was naturally no exception.

Ye Qingxuan stored the Immortal Vial of Longevity within his own spiritual sea.

Fortunately, the Immortal Vial of Longevity was not in its prime.

Since his cultivation base broke through the Void Penetration realm, his primordial spirit had undergone a massive transformation.

It was merely one-third of the way through refining the Immortal Vial of Longevity.

After taking one last look at the immortal soul and primordial spirit in his spiritual sea.

Ye Qingxuan's consciousness withdrew from the spiritual sea space.

Afterwards.

Ye Qingxuan sensed the rate of his spiritual roots' propagation.

The World Map advanced to a low-grade spiritual treasure.

After evolving a small world within it.

Influenced by this small realm.

The rate of spiritual root propagation within his body increased once again.

Although this amplification is not significant.

It merely increases the original speed by about ten percent.

Yet, over long-term accumulation, it can save Ye Qingxuan considerable time.

At this moment, Ye Qingxuan's original seventh system, now his eighth spiritual root.

will roughly require about eighty years to fully develop and perfect.

This duration, for Ye Qingxuan's current cultivation base,

is merely a brief seclusion.

Moreover.

Ye Qingxuan's two major avatars, Nanxuan and Xixuan,

had already infiltrated other Demon Realm worlds through Demon Realm passages opened by other hegemon-level powers.

Over these years,

his two avatars have been hunting the Green Demon Clan within other Demon Realms.

In a short while,

the two avatars will bring the gains accumulated in the Demon Realms back to the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven.

Combined with the support of the seventh-grade spiritual vein for the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven,

his Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven

can advance again within a short time, reaching the late stage of the sixth grade.

By then, the speed of his spiritual root's development will inevitably increase once more.

Perhaps, before the Green Demon Realm descends,

his eighth spiritual root will be fully developed.

After examining the changes within his body,

Ye Qingxuan continued his seclusion, sinking his mind into the comprehension of his minor divine ability.

As Ye Qingxuan delved into deep comprehension of the minor divine ability,

the Dao moved with his heart.

Accompanying the constant shifts in the mind of the Grotto-Heaven master, Ye Qingxuan,

lightning flashed and thunder rolled, winds rose and clouds surged within the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven.

Various extraordinary phenomena emerged within the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven.

Within these phenomena,

it seemed as though the most fundamental changes of the myriad rules of heaven and earth existed.

Time flew like a shuttle; moments passed.

The embryonic forms of Ye Qingxuan's minor divine abilities, composed of Dao patterns,

were constantly transforming and perfecting.

Embryonic forms of minor divine abilities, composed of combined Dao patterns,

began to generate more Dao patterns under Ye Qingxuan's comprehension.

Then, these Dao patterns constantly reorganized within Ye Qingxuan's sea of consciousness.

Finally, they combined into true Great Dao characters.

Once a Dao character takes shape,

it signifies that Ye Qingxuan has fully entered the realm of this minor divine ability.

However,

mere entry into the minor divine ability realm does not satisfy Ye Qingxuan.

The initial minor divine ability

is comprehended by cultivators from the most fundamental changes of various profound principles and rules.

Profound principles and rules change in myriad ways; the evolution paths they contain are not unique.

The same profound principle and rule, through different evolution paths, can yield different effects.

This is also why, within the same profound principle and rule,

different minor divine abilities can be comprehended.

A minor divine ability is essentially a cultivator's deep-level method of applying a specific change within a profound principle and rule.

Once the Great Dao character is successfully condensed and the minor divine ability is entered,

the cultivator opens the gate to deep-level control over such changes in profound principles and rules.

From now on,

if a cultivator wishes to enhance the power of a minor divine ability,

the most critical factor is the advancement of the profound principle and rule realm.

As long as the profound principle and rule realm meets the standard,

the cultivator, using the Great Dao character of the minor divine ability as a foundation,

can delve deeper into comprehending this change in the profound principle and rule.

By integrating the newly comprehended most fundamental changes of the profound principle and rule into the Great Dao character,

the realm of the minor divine ability can be elevated.

Once this change is understood,

even if the cultivator loses the Great Dao character condensed for the minor divine ability, they can still cast the minor divine ability.

It is just that, without the Great Dao character as a medium,

When a cultivator employs a minor divine art, they can no longer act at will; it is no longer as convenient as before.
