Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 174 - 118: Qi Chuan’s Confidence, Divine Soul Breakthrough!

Chapter 174: Chapter 118: Qi Chuan’s Confidence, Divine Soul Breakthrough!

For the former, in the future, just increase the proportion of practicing the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method, and when my cultivation reaches Foundation Establishment Perfection, the Power of Divine Soul will definitely be extremely strong.

As for my own willpower...

Honestly, Qi Chuan himself does not know how strong or weak his will is.

But at the very least, Qi Chuan believes he has several advantages in terms of will.

Firstly, a trace of fearlessness as a Transmigrator.

Secondly, ever since being introduced to Cultivation Immortality, throughout the years, although helped by the Golden Finger, he has always been diligently cultivating, and has a longing and persistence for Cultivation Immortality, which is also an embodiment of will.

Thirdly, having Hundredfold Critical Strike, he has always possessed a certain confidence or assurance to face various future changes.

Fourthly, Qi Chuan does not believe himself to be an unlucky Transmigrator, always believing that he is invisibly protected by a thread of Heavenly Dao, otherwise, why transmigrate? Just to suffer?

With these four major advantages, Qi Chuan believes he shouldn’t have any issues in terms of will, or at least not any major issues.

Even if there are minor issues, they can be covered up by the advantages from the Golden Finger and other aspects.

"However, even though this is the case, some attention still needs to be paid to the honing of will and mental state. It can’t be neglected; even if it’s unrelated to Core Formation, improving will and mental state is always beneficial."

Qi Chuan thought to himself.

He took out several Illusion Body Talismans and Concealing Breath Talismans from the Qiankun Bag, and his originally decided plan slightly changed in his mind.

Originally, he planned to shrink back in the Wind Moon Sect obediently and focus solely on cultivation after returning from the Red Maple Valley, without being bothered by outside matters, until he achieved Core Formation.

This way, his safety would be maximally ensured.

However, now Qi Chuan’s mindset has subtly changed.

In the short term it’s fine, but continuous cultivation in isolation for many years might lead to a sealed consciousness, which could negatively affect Core Formation.

"Thus, with Tier Two Top Grade Illusion Body Talismans and Concealing Breath Talismans, as long as safety is prioritized, going out occasionally could serve to hone the mental state."

Qi Chuan thought to himself.

Having confirmed his future plans, Qi Chuan’s mood suddenly became relaxed, calm, and confident, entirely pressure-free. With a slight smile, he put away the few Illusion Body Talismans and Concealing Breath Talismans in hand, then stood up and entered the Cave Mansion to prepare for closed cultivation.

Moments later, inside a Stone Chamber, Qi Chuan sat cross-legged on the bed, calming his breath for a moment, before taking out a Jade Bottle from the Qiankun Bag at his waist and releasing an Elixir onto his palm.

It was the Yellow Dragon Pill, pale yellow in color, about the size of a dragon’s eye.

After a brief examination, he put it directly into his mouth, where it dissolved into a robust, warm stream of medicinal power, spreading through his body.

Immediately, Qi Chuan activated the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique, commencing cultivation.

In the Stone Chamber, Spiritual Qi separated from the void, entered his body through his nasal breath, and carried the pressure from the Yellow Dragon Pill inside, circulating together with the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique for refinement.

The refined pure mana would then settle in the Dantian, becoming the foundation for the future fifteenth drop of Liquid Magical Power.

[You activated the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique, absorbing Spiritual Qi and refining medicinal power, converting it into your mana, triggering a thirteenfold Critical Strike, and gaining thirteenfold harvest. Your total mana has slightly increased.]

After completing a Grand Circulation, Qi Chuan opened his eyes to see lines of text emerging before him, which then slowly faded away.

"Thirteenfold..."

Upon witnessing this scene, Qi Chuan smiled gently, then closed his eyes again, continuing his cultivation.

...

In the blink of an eye, time flew by, and a year had passed.

During this year, apart from daily activation of the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique, using the Yellow Dragon Pill’s medicinal power to enhance his own cultivation.

After cultivation, nearly every two or three days, he would utilize Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method for contemplation, allowing his Divine Soul to enter that mysterious space to become a mysterious willow tree, receiving the refinement of Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder.

In this process, incredibly exhilarating, the Divine Soul continuously improved.

In fact, after every cultivation session with Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method, due to the Hundredfold Critical Strike, the Power of Divine Soul feedback would repair and heal Qi Chuan’s Divine Soul, leaving no injuries, allowing daily cultivation.

However, Qi Chuan is well aware of the concept of moderation.

Though the Divine Soul remains unharmed, the deep-seated pain brought by the Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder cannot be avoided, and even though his tolerance grew with more cultivation sessions, Qi Chuan does not want the distribution of such pain to excessively affect his mental state.

Therefore, Qi Chuan controlled it to a level he could easily manage.

Even so, Qi Chuan’s Divine Soul increased rapidly, allowing him to manipulate more Divine Sense and expand the range, unmatched by other Foundation Establishment Early Stage and Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivators.

And throughout the year Qi Chuan stayed in his Cave Mansion for honest cultivation, never venturing outside, his name became increasingly quiet in the external world.

It was as if he had evaporated; very few mentioned Qi Chuan.

Only occasionally, among the Inner Sect Disciples and True Disciples of the Wind Moon Sect, did they recall a person who seemed to disappear over a year ago.

Only the Celestial Soul Hall tirelessly sent out undercover agents into the sect domain controlled by Wind Moon Sect, attempting to trace Qi Chuan, holding onto the fortune he acquired in the Secret Realm Space.

However, after gaining nothing, they realized Qi Chuan either hadn’t fallen and was staying within the Wind Moon Sect, leading Sect Leader Tian Hunzi and even Supreme Elder Golden Silkworm to secretly curse, gritting their teeth, for he was too cautious.

"Being so cowardly, even if he obtained opportunities in the Secret Realm Space, what can he achieve?" Within the Celestial Soul Hall, some Foundation Establishment Elders discussed.

Nevertheless, as Qi Chuan’s fake death and hiding continued, a year later, the number of undercover agents sent by the Celestial Soul Hall greatly decreased, maintaining a low level while continuing the search for Qi Chuan’s trace.

Additionally, following the previous Spirit Stone Mine Battlefield, Wind Moon Sect Sect Leader Situ Jiang appeared personally, leading all Wind Moon Sect Elders to confront the entire Celestial Soul Hall team led by Tian Hunzi, the Celestial Soul Hall side also learned about Situ Jiang’s courage and fearlessness.

In such circumstances, Celestial Soul Hall Supreme Elder Golden Silkworm was unwilling to appear until the true situation of Profound Sword True Master was known, leaving Sect Leader Tian Hunzi no choice but to have the Celestial Soul Hall remain dormant, reacting to movements only once Profound Sword True Master truly had an incident.

Thus, the situation between the two sects, Wind Moon Sect and Celestial Soul Hall, somewhat eased, with numerous undercurrents, exchanging tensions secretly.

These matters were for Qi Chuan’s master, Wind Moon Sect Sect Leader Situ Jiang to handle, needing nothing from him at present.

Therefore, Qi Chuan continued his focused cultivation, his significant impact still awaited upon truly entering Core Formation.

This day, within Qi Chuan’s Cave Mansion, Qi Chuan sat quietly cross-legged, with tightly shut eyes and slightly furrowed brows, seemingly enduring unspeakable pain.

Moments later, Qi Chuan slowly opened his eyes, appearing somewhat distressed.

Yet soon, a soothing cool sensation emerged in his mind, healing the Divine Soul pain, while a large amount of Power of Divine Soul flowed forth, instantly strengthening Qi Chuan’s Divine Soul somewhat.

[You cultivated Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method, with Divine Soul Transformation Willow, receiving Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder refinement, triggering tenfold Critical Strike, obtaining tenfold harvest, your Divine Soul has gained some enhancement.]

Before him, lines of text appeared.

Observing the text, Qi Chuan chuckled, sensing the current strength of his Divine Soul.

"It should have reached the Divine Soul strength of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage."
