Chapter 256: Training Body And Soul
Soul cultivation technique is much more different than body refining technique and qi cultivation technique.
Having a powerful soul is a must need for martial cultivators and masters of supplementary paths.
However, cultivating the soul is also harder than the other two type of cultivation techniques. One needs to have a soul powerful enough to sustain the technique. But cultivating soul cultivation technique has huge merits.
For example, let's take two alchemists of the same rank and same soul strength. While refining medicinal pills, the one practicing a soul cultivation technique would have a natural advantage over the other one.
Moreover, with enough soul qi, they might be able to concoct pills that surpass the limits of their ranks. That's why soul cultivation techniques are heavily sought by the supplementary masters.
" Most soul techniques were meant to be cultivated when one's soul is at optimum condition. However, there are also a few which were needed to cultivate when the soul is weak." Yang Shi pondered.
Although this may look easy, it has its own dangers. Although such techniques require weak soul, after starting the technique, one needs to grow their soul strength quickly. Otherwise, they have to face a terrible backlash and they could die.
" But I think I can practice them. Which one I should start with? Silk Flow Soul Tactics? Sacred Mist Divine Art? Nine Mysteries of Eternal Soul?
Yang Shi browsed among hundreds of soul cultivation techniques available in Samsara Emperor's memory. Samsara Emperor had practiced The Nine Mysteries of Eternal Soul technique to the pinnacle.
With his achievement in the Nine Mysteries of Eternal Soul technique, Samsara Emperor had created an indestructible soul.
His divine sense reached a level where he materialize anything with just a thought of his.
Yang Shi was also tempted to cultivate this technique, but he also knew the difficulties regarding this technique.
Samsara Emperor was only able to fully complete this technique because he had experienced far too many things in endless years. Yang Shi's experience in front of Samsara Emperor is like a drop of water in the ocean.
" Although my soul is much weaker than average souls, my soul is much purer and condensed."
" Qualitywise, It is satisfactory, so I should focus on quantity."
After much thought, Yang Shi finally picked a soul technique from Samsara Emperor's memory.
" Myriad Soul Controlling Formula." Yang Shi finally decide to cultivate this technique.
In fact, the Myriad Soul Controlling Formula and Nine Mysteries of Eternal Soul technique stem from the same origin.
" As per its name, Myriad Soul Controlling Formula allows a cultivator to control more than one soul. A person has only one soul, but with this technique, a cultivator can have more than one soul." Yang Shi was amazed.
Even though the technique sounds cool, the process isn't. To cultivate more than one soul, a cultivator needs to separate a small part of their own soul and refine it.
It is like having one main soul and several other subsidiary souls. Cultivating this technique will bolster someone's soul strength tremendously.
With aid of several subsidiary souls, a person can easily defeat someone with a higher cultivation realm.
Yang Shi picked this technique because his soul was very weak at the moment. He felt that severing a part of his soul will be much easier for him.
Yang Shi silently chanted the incantation as he circulated his soul qi. His soul qi was thin as a thread, but it was transparent with a white mist around it.
Yang Shi circulated it around his soul as he could feel his soul getting clearer. It has distinct features same as his body. Yang Shi could see the vivid pair of eyes in his soul.
" The soul is a replica of mine after all." Yang Shi shook his head.
The Myriad Soul Controlling Formula has twelve realms. Each realm is divided by nine stages. So in total, there are a hundred and eight stages.
Every three stage has a minor threshold and each major realm can be considered as a great threshold.
After an hour, Yang Shi finally reached the peak of the first stage of the first realm.
Yang Shi could feel that his soul qi has become slightly more vibrant. His vision was clear as he used his divine sense with more proficiency.
" Hmm, I have already reached the peak of stage one. With a bit more, I will reach the third stage this week. I must gather Perception Stone." Yang Shi nodded as he finally went out from his forge.
He stretched his arm as he saw it was almost dawn. Yang Shi had some thoughts as he went back to his forge. After a few minutes, He came out with a large block of gold.
The gold block looked more bright as it emitted slight heat. Yang Shi's Gold Devil Body was raging as he lifted the block.
" Heh, Although it doesn't look impressive, It's made by at least ten million gold coins." Yang Shi chuckled.
That's right, Yang Shi smelted millions of gold coins and reduced all of its impurities by his Gold Devil Seal. This block of gold is a thousand time denser than ordinary gold. Yang Shi carried it to the garden as he put it on the ground.
The golden block reflected the rays of the morning sun, which emitted piercing golden light. Yang Shi enjoyed the sunlight as he calmed his breath. After a while, he circulated his Internal Energy as he attacked the golden block.
" Shaolin Golden Dragon Claw!"
Yang Shi's hands became like an eagle claw as he tried to rip the golden block. The golden black didn't budge lightly, but Yang Shi could feel tingling pain on his fingers.
Yang Shi was neither using his spiritual qi nor the Gold Devil Body. Although his physique was naturally powerful than another cultivator, the golden block was far too condensed.
Yang Shi was sure that even a cultivator of the Violet Palace Expansion realm will have a hard time ripping this golden block with just their body alone.
However, such methods were used by the martial arts school of earth. They used these torturing methods for years to strengthen their physical body and push them to their limits.
For example, The move Yang Shi used was an attacking technique of Ancient Shaolin Temple. The Shaolin techniques are martial art of the Yang branch.
Their Internal Energy is also heavily Yang attributed. That's why almost all of their disciples are male.
Yang Shi's Internal Energy was different. It consisted of the Chao qi, which came from the origin force of creation. His Internal Energy contains all sorts of elements.
The dawn was the best time for absorbing Yang type energy which was also mixed with light Yin energy. Yang Shi used the Yang energy from sunlight to practice the Shaolin Golden Dragon Claw.
Back on Earth, a person who fully mastered this technique could rip raw gold with their bare hands. Yang Shi was also trying to increase his natural body limits, without using any technique of cultivation world.
" With enough practice, a frail body can be transformed into a warrior's physique. Since mortals of Earth did it, Why can't I?" Yang Shi mumbled as he practiced the Shaolin Golden Dragon Claw on the gold block.
After an hour, Yang Shi's fingers were turned to bloody red while the gold block remained the same. But Yang Shi didn't mind as he stopped his training.
The sun was already high and Yang Shi went to open his store.. However, Just he was about to open his shop, his eyes widened as he saw someone familiar.
