This time, the person Martial Ancestor Xuanyuan wanted to see the most was naturally Chen Jing. After all, how could anyone who could help Martial Ancestor San Feng comprehend the Dao not be curious? Just now, when he was pushing Chen Jing around, he could even feel that wisp of a profound thing, but since other people were here, it would be unreasonable for him not to see them. So, after Martial Ancestor Xuanyuan saw a few people, he made a gesture for Wan Yuanshan and his people to leave, leaving Chen Jing alone.

"Let's go, Chen, and Sanfeng. We'll go to the back and focus on the details." After the others had left, Martial Ancestor Xuanyuan stood up and called for the two of them to head to the back to practice room.

In the training room at the back of the suite, the three of them spent an entire day and night researching before finally, Martial Ancestor Xuanyuan said with a solemn expression: "Sanfeng, Junior Brother Chen's Primal Chaos Formula, and I'm afraid that you are not as simple as you used to understand it. Now, I have a bold guess in my heart, your Primal Chaos Formula from before is probably a little worse than fate or destruction, but now, it seems that it has been surpassed. Therefore, I believe that none of you have reached the core yet. When you have truly reached the core, your way of Taiji will definitely evolve into that legendary Great Dao. That 'one' at the top of the Great Dao — the Dao of Creation! Therefore, your potential is truly unfathomable. Work hard, our human race's hope might be on you! Sigh. Unfortunately, I can't see it. "

"Ancestor, why do you say that?" Hearing the Martial Ancestor's last words, Chen Jing couldn't help but be shocked.

"Little friend Chen, it's like this. I've been cursed by the Blue Spirit Clan's patriarch Facio Ni, so I won't be able to successfully pass through the tribulation. I only have a hundred years left at most." Martial Ancestor Xuanyuan sighed.

"Ancestor, you're not that pessimistic, right? If we find the Reincarnation Soul Orb, it might be possible to extend our lifespan by another few hundred years." After a long silence, Master San Feng said from the side, and he was obviously not confident.

"Sanfeng, it's really that easy to find a Reincarnation Soul Pearl, and it's useless to me if I'm below rank 10. How many people in the entire universe train in the path of reincarnation? How many had reached the 10th step? After death, those who could form soul orbs were even rarer. To be honest, it took me a few thousand years of effort to find two low-rank soul orbs. To a rank 11 like me, refining a spirit pill would at most extend my time by twenty or thirty years, how useful would that be? To me, you need to be at least at the eleventh stage, but how can it be so easy to find a stage eleven Reincarnation Soul Pearl? " Martial Ancestor Xuanyuan sighed.

"This …" Patriarch Sanfeng was speechless.

Chen Jing still knew about the soul orbs. After all, Chen Jing was an alchemist. Moreover, he had a Heavenly Sesame seed in his possession, so he had studied how to concoct the Longevity Pill. There were two main ingredients for the Life Extending Pill. One was naturally the Heavenly Sesame (of course, it wasn't necessarily the Heavenly Sesame. As long as it was a heavenly material rich in life energy, it could be), and the second was the soul orb.

For cultivators, once they reached the Bone Refining stage, because of the energy supporting their metabolism, their physical body could be said to be immortal. Their lifespan was mainly their soul, so in order to extend their lifespan, they had to compensate for the loss of their soul. In order to compensate for the soul, naturally it was only soul power. Life energy was only used as a catalyst.

Then where did soul power come from? That was the Soul Orb. Soul orbs were formed from the soul fragments of a dead person under the effects of a formation spell. Generally speaking, humans were afraid of death, especially those old ghosts who lived for a long time. In general, the longer they lived, the more afraid they would be of death. Thus, when one reaches the later stages of life, most people will consider how to extend their lifespan.

How can one extend one's lifespan? For an ordinary world like the Earth before the catastrophe, there was naturally nothing that could be done. However, in the world of cultivation, there were many ways to increase one's lifespan. Of course, the most effective way was to successfully pass tribulation in order to increase the soul rank. Every large rank would increase one's lifespan by 500 years. However, success or failure depended on one's own dao heart, which was also their understanding of the Dao. Unfortunately, for these cultivators who were at the end of their lives, their potential had long been depleted. They did not have any hope of succeeding in transcending tribulation and improving their soul, so this path was impossible!

Is there any other way? Of course there were, and there were quite a few of them. In general, there were two main types of pills. One of them was to supplement one's body or soul through the Face Longevity Pill, Longevity Pill, and other pills, prolonging one's lifespan. The second was to use elixirs or formations to slow the loss of the soul, which could also extend one's lifespan.

In this process, the Face Longevity Pill was purely refined with life energy, as long as it was a heavenly treasure like the Heavenly Sesame Seed that was rich in life energy. Thus, the difficulty was the lowest, but unfortunately, the Face Longevity Pill could only extend the life of the body, so it was only a miracle medicine used by mortals. The other kind of elixir, the Spirit Suppressing Pill, was not that difficult to obtain. However, its side effects were too great, because it could slow down the loss of one's soul by suppressing its activity. Perhaps you don't know yet, but what are the consequences of suppressing the soul? Then I'll tell you, it's a slow reaction! No matter how much a monk wanted to live, he would never want to live like a retarded idiot. Therefore, from the day he invented the Spirit Suppressing Pill, it had been a chicken's weak point!

The Life Extending Dan was naturally the most difficult one here, because besides the heavenly materials for life energy, he also needed to contain the soul force. After all, among all the heavenly materials, the only one that contained soul force seemed to be the soul bead. However, we want to talk about the origin of the soul orbs, so we won't talk about it here.

As a result, most cultivators use formations. The Spirit Accumulation Array was a type of normal spirit array that nourished the soul and prevented it from dissipating. There were all kinds of spirit arrays from the third level to the special level, and if a cultivator stayed in the formation, he or she could extend his or her lifespan. Of course, the higher the grade of a Spiritual Array, the greater its lifespan would be. A Rank 3 Spiritual Array could extend one's lifespan by 5-10%, and a Special Grade Spiritual Array could extend it by two times, or even more. Thus, any cultivator with even the slightest bit of ability would construct a Spirit Accumulation Formation in their own cave abode. The higher the rank, the better.

Of course, the formation could only slow down a little, but it could not stop the flow of life. However, after a cultivator dies, if the array they are in is high enough, like a rank 1 or rank 4, then the array can prevent their soul fragments from dissipating and then form a bead. This is a soul bead!

Soul orbs are formed from soul fragments of dead cultivators, so naturally, they have their own soul attribute. In other words, their comprehension of the Dao, if used, can interfere with or even pollute their dao heart, so it's best if the owner of the soul orb is a blank slate that hasn't comprehended a dao! It's a pity that the cultivators that can condense the soul orbs are at least at the Spirit Severing or Nascent Soul stage. If even the sky or universe level cultivators can comprehend the Great Dao, then how could the Spirit Severing or Nascent Soul stage cultivators not? Although the 3000 great Daos were difficult to comprehend, there were still a million side Daos and other Daos. Besides, he hadn't even comprehended the dao, so how could he train to a higher level?

Thus, refining the Longevity Pill could only be considered secondary, as he would be able to find soul orbs with similar attributes to him. This way, he would have a relatively smaller ability to exclude others. Martial Ancestor Xuanyuan cultivates on the Great Way of the Reincarnation, so he naturally had to look for the Reincarnation Soul Pearl.
