"Little Fellow..."
"Whether I can be resurrected depends entirely on fate. You don't need to be overly anxious..."
"Since Medicine Saint mentioned it, those medicinal ingredients are all first-rate rarities, so let's leave it to fate..."
"The matter at hand now is that you should absorb and refine the Soul Orb obtained from the Human Hall..."
"Otherwise, delays might lead to complications..."
Xiao Xuan waved his sleeve and spoke in a deep voice.
Yao Lao, who was nearby, also nodded slightly upon hearing this. After all, it would be somewhat dangerous if such a treasure were not refined and absorbed sooner.
Xiao Yi nodded when he saw this. Being on Ancient Dragon Island right now, with such dense Dragon Qi bolstering the environment, it was indeed a suitable place for refinement.
Immediately, Xiao Yi didn't dilly-dally and held the Soul Orb in his palm.
When Xiao Yi mobilized his Soul Power, intending to resonate with the orb...
Clusters of black Qi surged out from the orb. It was obvious that this was deliberately injected by the experts of the Hall of Souls. If this black Qi were absorbed into the Soul, it would likely cause significant hidden dangers.
However, Xiao Yi was not flustered by this. A Fallen Heart Flame suddenly emerged above Xiao Yi's palm, easily purifying all the black Qi.
However, just as the black Qi was completely cleaned away, the crystal-clear Soul Orb burst open, forming layers of translucent Soul Mist around Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi stood in the center of this Soul Mist, his black robe fluttering violently as it was lifted by an invisible force.
At the same time, a faint golden Soul Mark instantly lit up on Xiao Yi's glabella!
While the Soul Mark emitted light, it also suddenly erupted with a suction force that shook the heavens and the earth.
"Om—"
A low hum came from the depths of the Void Realm. The originally scattered Soul Origin seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, instantly converging toward Xiao Yi.
At first, they were only sporadic specks of Soul Light, but in the blink of an eye, they connected into a surging Soul Current.
It surged madly into the Soul Mark on Xiao Yi's glabella.
With every wisp of Soul Current entering his Physical Body, Xiao Yi could sense the majestic power surging into the depths of his Soul!
Such a massive influx of Soul Power all at once made Xiao Yi feel as if his Soul was about to explode.
Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead bulged like coiled Dragons.
But Xiao Yi did not panic. The Cultivation Technique, the Origin Primordial Myriad Transformation Method, personally taught by Emperor Xiao, was already operating within his Physical Body.
As the Cultivation Technique circulated, dense golden-red Soul Runes appeared all over Xiao Yi's body.
These Soul Runes were like chains, firmly locking down the Soul Current surging into his Physical Body, and then slowly stripping away the violent Qi within it.
Under the refinement of the Soul Runes, the mixed Soul Origin gradually faded from purple-black, transforming into pure golden Soul Liquid, which flowed along the Soul Meridians toward the depths of the Sea of Consciousness.
At this moment, a fist-sized Soul Clone actually appeared within Xiao Yi's Soul Sea of Consciousness.
That Soul looked exactly like Xiao Yi, only smaller.
However, with the injection of the Soul Origin, the originally fist-sized Soul was now violently trembling, and the golden Soul Liquid poured into it like a steady stream.
With every injection, the Soul expanded slightly, and the resulting Soul Power fluctuations grew stronger.
At this moment, the Sea of Consciousness was entirely enveloped by that golden Soul Power, illuminating the Sea of Consciousness brilliantly.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, the Soul Mist around Xiao Yi was becoming thinner, replaced by increasingly dense golden Soul Power.
This Soul Power was no longer as chaotic as before, but slowly circulated like a calm lake surface, yet exuded a suffocating pressure during its rotation.
Centered around Xiao Yi, waves of majestic Soul Power slowly spread out.
Wherever it passed, space seemed to freeze, and even the air stopped flowing.
After an unknown amount of time passed like this...
Suddenly, Xiao Yi's body shook violently. The Soul Clone inside the Sea of Consciousness stopped expanding and began to compress inward.
The originally half-zhang tall Soul Clone gradually shrank under the pressure of the invisible force.
The golden color also deepened, turning from light gold to crimson gold, and then to dark gold.
Throughout the entire compression process, the Soul Power fluctuations emitted by the Soul Clone did not weaken; instead, they became even more condensed.
At this moment, only Xiao Xuan remained guarding Xiao Yi, while Yao Lao and Xiao Yan had already returned to the Starfall Pavilion one step ahead.
Seeing Xiao Yi's state, Xiao Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "Little Fellow..."
"He is about to succeed..."
At this moment, the light of the Soul Mark on Xiao Yi's glabella surged, sucking the last wisp of remaining Soul Origin into his Physical Body.
"Boom!"
An invisible roar exploded deep within Xiao Yi's Soul Sea of Consciousness.
The Soul Clone, compressed to its limit, suddenly released brilliant golden light, instantly filling the entire Sea of Consciousness.
Following this, the Soul Clone began its second expansion.
However, this expansion was no longer a growth in volume, but a qualitative leap in Soul Power.
Faint sky-blue patterns began to appear within the golden Soul Power.
These patterns resembled the veins of the sky, containing the Dao Laws of heaven and earth. As the patterns increased, the pressure emitted by the Soul Power also broke through previous constraints, charging towards a higher Realm.
Outside, the golden Soul Power around Xiao Yi suddenly shot up into the sky, forming a hundred-zhang high golden pillar of light.
The pillar of light pierced through the dome of Ancient Dragon Island and shot straight into the clouds.
This dazzling pillar of light lasted for a full joss stick's worth of time before slowly dissipating.
Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes. A golden flash disappeared from his pupils, replaced by a profound calmness.
Xiao Yi stretched out his right hand. A wisp of golden Soul Power lingered around his fingertip. This wisp of Soul Power looked weak, but was terrifyingly resilient.
Xiao Yi could clearly feel that his Soul Power had undergone a qualitative leap, and his Soul Sea of Consciousness was vast and boundless.
At the same time, the Soul Power surrounding his body was completely under his control, and he could even vaguely sense the stray Soul energy wandering between heaven and earth.
"This Soul Orb is truly miraculous..."
Feeling the strength of his Soul Power after successfully refining the Soul Origin, Xiao Yi couldn't help but speak softly.
Xiao Yi's voice carried a hint of relief and excitement. After all, the improvement in his Soul Power was extremely obvious at this moment.
Xiao Xuan also slowly stepped forward and spoke softly:
"Little Fellow..."
"You are very good..."
"Your Soul Power can now contend with some Half-Saint experts, and even low-star Dou Sheng experts..."
Zi Yan had already rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Upon hearing Xiao Xuan's words, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes!
Although the Physical Body of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan was incredibly powerful, Soul Power was an Innate weakness for them.
Therefore, even Zi Yan, who was currently a Two-Star Dou Sheng, felt shocked by the terrifying Soul impact just now.
It was no exaggeration to say that although Xiao Yi's Dou Qi might not match Zi Yan's, his Soul Power now far surpassed hers.
Because Zi Yan's Soul Power was only at the Middle Stage Heaven Realm level.
After Xiao Yi absorbed the Soul Orb, his Soul Power had already reached the Late Heaven Realm level!
He had even stepped halfway into the Heavenly Realm Great Perfection tier.
