C42 Soul Separation

"However, the current level of this secret art doesn't have much use."

Zhao Zilong spread out his hands, "I am only just learning now. The time I have to use this secret skill is too long, it is useless. The opponent will not give me time to slowly prepare. Only those who had mastered it could use it in a very short period of time. From the looks of it, there is a heavy burden and a long way to go! "

"Then slowly practice! "Alright, let's stop talking. Let's hurry up and cultivate!"

"..."

Doom.

"Scoundrel, scoundrel, you actually dared to steal my hand. Why didn't you tell me first and made me unprepared!"

Suddenly, her face turned red, and she shook her head: "No, no, even if he said it, I still wouldn't agree."

The wild flowers in her hands had already been torn to shreds. Leng Linglong casually threw it away and clenched her small fists: "Humph, you dare to take advantage of me, I definitely won't let you off so easily. Next time we meet, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!"

No matter how good-looking she looked, she couldn't figure it out. She just felt very unwilling. It had to be known that this was her first kiss, so how could it disappear so easily?

"Little Li, you just wait and see, hmph!"

"..."

"Achoo!" "Achoo!"

Li Yi, who was planning to cultivate the [God Evolution Art], suddenly felt his nose go numb and sneezed twice.

There was no need to think to know that it was definitely Leng Linglong who was talking about him behind his back.

After calming himself down, Li Yi closed his eyes and started to cultivate according to the [God Evolution Art].

The so called god evolution, was to split the soul into two, two into four, and four into eight.

But further down, it was not eight to sixteen. Rather, he split a small portion of each portion into the ninth portion of his soul.

Nine was very small, and even the [God Transforming Technique] could not escape this limitation. At most, it was only nine out of ten of his soul.

In the cultivation world, there were also techniques that could split divine intents. However, only divine intents were split; at the very most, it would make the divine intents of cultivators stronger and allow them to have a more precise control over magic.

Splitting the soul was different. It was the same as splitting the soul into two parts. If one could reach nine parts of the soul recorded in the [God Evolution Art], then they would truly possess an immortal body. As long as one part of the soul survived, they could be reborn.

However, the idea was beautiful, and the reality was cruel.

In the cultivation world, there were very few people who could truly persevere with the spiritual sense splitting technique. The pain of one's spiritual sense being torn into two wasn't something that anyone could endure. Those who forcefully cultivated themselves to become idiots weren't few.

Thus, in the Immortal Cultivation World, being able to split one's soul into two was already quite impressive. In the Immortal Cultivation World, being able to split one's soul into two was already quite amazing.

However, there was one thing that could not be compared to a soul splitting technique, and that was that without a split, the total number and strength of the soul would be doubled!

In other words, as long as he was able to hold on to the first split, he would be able to hold on to the second, third or even third time. All he would need was time and effort.

What Li Yi needed to do now was to withstand this first split.

He took out two pills to stabilize his mind and nourish his soul from his storage ring before putting them into his mouth. Li Yi circulated the True Essence in his body and began the first step of cultivating the [God Evolution Art].

The first step of the [Spirit Evolution] was to condense the formless souls and merge them with one's mind consciousness.

This wasn't difficult for Li Yi. After circulating his spiritual sense three times according to the circulation route of the [God Evolution Art], a translucent liquid substance gradually appeared between his eyebrows. This was Li Yi's soul.

According to the records of the cultivation technique, Li Yi controlled his spiritual sense to wrap the entire soul, slowly permeating it.

This process wasn't too difficult, but it required a very long time and consumed a lot of his mental energy. After only completing half of it, Li Yi was already unable to hold on.

He quickly swallowed the pill in his mouth. His mind had finally recovered by more than half.

As expected of a medicinal pill from the Immortal estate, the effect was excellent!

The pills Li Yi and Zhao Zilong used were all left behind by the Five Elements Daoist. Even though there weren't many of them, it was more than enough for Li Yi and Zhao Zilong. Because of this, the pill formula for the Spirit Tempering Pill that he bought previously had always been kept a secret, and he hadn't refined it even once.

Finally, before his mind was completely drained, his soul and soul had perfectly fused together. His soul had been successfully formed!

Opening his eyes and wiping away the sweat on his forehead, Li Yi took out two more pills and stuffed them into his mouth.

Next, it was time to split his soul!

The pill was not omnipotent, and exhausting his mind twice in a row still placed a heavy burden on his body. The separation of his soul was the key to successfully cultivate the [God Transforming Technique], and he could not tolerate any carelessness. Thus, he had to maintain his best condition.

Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage normally didn't need to sleep; they only needed to cultivate for a bit to recover. However, Li Yi was really too tired today, so he directly laid down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

He didn't know how long he slept, but when he woke up, Li Yi felt his spirit increase a hundredfold and was in an unprecedented good state.

Zhao Zilong was not in the house, he had probably gone out to practice his spear. Li Yi did not care about him. He crossed his legs and focused his mind, starting the soul separation technique.

Li Yi controlled the True Essence in his body to form a short True Essence Knife. Li Yi slashed down on his soul for the first time.

"Ah!

Li Yi's heart-wrenching screams rang out from inside the wooden house, instantly spreading throughout the entire mountain peak. Zhao Zilong, who was practicing his spear on the platform, trembled in fright, and with a sweep of his spiritual sense, he found Li Yi sitting cross-legged on the bed of the wooden house.

Zhao Zilong put away his gun and rushed to the front of the cabin. Just as he was about to enter, he was stopped by a hand. It was his Master, Zhou Tong.

"Master, Little Yi, he …"

"He's fine, don't go in and disturb him!"

"But …"

"There are no buts. Xiao Yi is currently cultivating a technique and can only rely on himself. We can't help him."

Zhou Tong slowly shook his head, his fists clenched tightly. "He will succeed. We need to have confidence in him!"

Inside the wooden house, Li Yi really wanted to die.

He had thought that splitting his soul would be painful, but Li Yi had never thought it would hurt to this extent. It was truly a soul piercing pain.

Although the soul had already been formed, it was originally a formless object. It had a strong adhesion, so it was hard to tell what it was or if it wasn't something at all. In short, it couldn't be cut in half at once.

As the saying goes, no pain is better than short pain. If it could be cut open in one go, Li Yi would be willing to even pass out from the pain. However, he couldn't do that. He could only cut it off bit by bit.

Every cut caused his soul to tremble and every part of his body to feel intense pain. This pain was on his soul, so he would be more clear-headed if he didn't faint. The clearer the brain was, the more obvious was the pain, and the more painful it would be the next time it was torn.

[God Evolution Art] was simply too heaven-defying, so to succeed in cultivating it, one had to endure pain that ordinary people could not bear. The heavens were fair to them in the first place. How could there be so many good things for him to not suffer and be stronger than others!

Li Yi's [Primal Chaos Formula] was only achieved by narrowly escaping death. Back then, the pain from fusing the [Ancient God's Heart] was actually not much less than it is now. However, Li Yi had been forced to endure it and was now actively seeking pain.

Actually, Li Yi had wanted to give up several times, but the desire to become strong didn't allow him to do so.

Fortunately, Li Yi had already gone through the painful experience of fusing with the [Ancient God's Heart]. Furthermore, his soul had grown a lot stronger when he inherited the [God Evolution Art], so he had some resistance to the pain of splitting his soul. Otherwise, he might not have been able to last much longer.

The feeling of separation was exciting, and it went on for five whole days. In these five days, Li Yi had cut a total of three thousand slashes into his soul. Finally, his soul had been perfectly divided into two equal halves.

The moment his soul truly split apart, Li Yi suddenly had a very strange feeling. He had split his soul into two, but he could control both.

Without enough time to be happy, a wave of fatigue quickly overcame him. Li Yi's body collapsed on the bed and he fell into a deep slumber.

When he woke up again, Li Yi found himself lying naked in a jade pool filled with a lot of light red liquid. Zhao Zilong was staring at him with his big eyes.

"What are you doing?"

Li Yi screamed, and the ground covered his vitals.

"Tsk, why are you shouting so much? It's not like I've never seen anything like that before." Quickly lie back down. Master said that this time, you have consumed too much energy in your training. This is the elixir master gave you to cultivate your soul. Since when did this elixir become colorless?

Zhao Zilong looked at Li Yi with contempt, reached out his hands to press Li Yi's shoulders and pushed him back into the jade pool.

"How long have I been asleep?"

Li Yi looked around and recognized that this was the Zhou Tong's cave, located at the back of the sect. However, from Li Yi's impression, there shouldn't be this jade pool. It seemed like Zhou Tong had specially made it for him.

"It's been a full ten days already. I say, you little brat, you really know how to sleep! "Alright, I'll go cultivate. I haven't been anywhere for the past ten days and have been waiting here for you!"

Zhao Zilong stood up and walked out of the cave. As he reached the door, he said, "Leng Linglong came to find you and tell you to go to the Door of Door of Doom if you wake up. She has something to say to you."
