"Little Fellow, Cultivating Soul Power is just like this..."
"If you want to enhance your Soul Power, you must endure pain that ordinary people cannot bear!"
As Xiao Xuan was someone who had Cultivated this Cultivation Technique before, he naturally understood the agony of tempering the Soul.
Therefore, Xiao Xuan was very clear about Xiao Yi's current state.
Moreover, in Xiao Xuan's view, everything was currently under control!
As time passed, Xiao Yi's Soul seemed to grow accustomed to the scorching of the Fallen Heart Flame.
The initial feeling of pain was gone; instead, he felt warm, even somewhat comfortable.
Seeing that the condition on Xiao Yi's cheeks had improved significantly.
Xiao Xuan knew the time had come and immediately spoke in a deep voice:
"Little Fellow, now is the time! Increase the power of the strange flame and draw out the Soul Power contained within your Soul Power!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yi immediately followed the instructions without hesitation.
Xiao Yi activated the Fallen Heart Flame within his body, and as the strange flame intensified.
A trace of dark red Qi miraculously appeared around the Soul in front of Xiao Yi, visible to the naked eye.
The dark red Qi lingered around Xiao Yi's Soul; clearly, this was the Soul Power that Xiao Xuan spoke of, condensed from within the Soul!
It was the purest Soul Power!
Seeing that Xiao Yi was able to condense pure Soul Power in such a short time, Xiao Xuan nodded with considerable satisfaction.
"This Little Fellow's talent truly is not inferior to mine back then..."
As more time passed, the Soul in front of Xiao Yi was completely enveloped by countless dark red wisps of Qi.
"Xiao Yi, focus your mind!"
"Next, continue to use the Fallen Heart Flame to temper that Soul Power into Soul Threads!"
Seeing this, Xiao Xuan spoke in a deep voice, guiding Xiao Yi.
At this moment, Xiao Yi's breathing became increasingly rapid due to the consumption of Soul Power!
Nevertheless, Xiao Yi continued to follow Xiao Xuan's guidance.
He activated the Fallen Heart Flame within his body, causing it to completely devour, burn, and scorch the dark red Qi!
He purified it, tempering it into even more resilient Soul Threads.
However, perhaps because Xiao Yi was somewhat impatient and overly pursued efficiency.
Xiao Yi immediately suffered a backlash, and a mouthful of fresh blood instantly gushed out.
The Qi within his body also became chaotic.
"Little Fellow! Don't rush!"
"The process of tempering Soul Threads cannot be done like this. If you can successfully temper just one Soul Thread right now, that counts as success!"
Seeing this, Xiao Xuan frowned slightly and immediately gave a stern reminder.
Because tempering a single Soul Thread required a massive expenditure of Soul Power.
Even Xiao Xuan, when he Cultivated this Cultivation Technique back then, only managed to successfully temper around a hundred Soul Threads!
Hearing this, Xiao Yi immediately adjusted his breathing and once again circulated the Soul Cultivation Technique to stabilize the Qi within his body.
He cautiously controlled the Fallen Heart Flame to temper the dark red Soul Power he had just devoured...
"Bang..."
Accompanied by an extremely powerful surge of Qi spreading from around Xiao Yi's Soul.
The Fallen Heart Flame slowly receded, and then a golden glowing thread slowly appeared!
The dark red Qi that had previously lingered around Xiao Yi's Soul had completely vanished.
In its place was the golden glowing thread!
It was precisely the Soul Thread, containing terrifyingly powerful Soul energy!
As Xiao Yi officially refined his first Soul Thread, his Soul Power officially transitioned from the pseudo-Heavenly Realm to the true Heavenly Realm Soul!
Xiao Yi exhaled a mouthful of stale Qi and slowly opened his eyes.
"Ancestor, does this count as success..."
"It seems my Soul Power has truly stepped into the Heavenly Realm Soul!"
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan smiled and nodded: "Refining a Soul Thread naturally counts as success!"
"Not bad, not bad. At your age, you've not only reached the Dou Zun rank but also possess a Heavenly Realm Soul! Your talent is even slightly stronger than mine was back then..."
A Heavenly Realm Soul was already an extremely terrifying existence when viewed across the Fighting Qi Continent.
After all, a Heavenly Realm Soul possessed power that was nearly "heaven-reaching," giving one the ability to mobilize the vast power of heaven and earth.
Stepping into the Heavenly Realm Soul also meant possessing the qualifications to become an Eighth-grade, or even Ninth-grade Alchemist.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Realm Soul was the Peak attainable by most people!
Therefore, it was no wonder Xiao Xuan was genuinely happy that Xiao Yi had reached the Heavenly Realm Soul at this moment.
"Alright, Little Fellow..."
"Now that you have reached the Heavenly Realm, I shall impart to you the method of Soul Origin division!"
"I will help you refine this Sea Heart Flame!"
As Xiao Xuan finished speaking, the nine-stroke Clan Mark instantly appeared between his brows.
Extremely powerful and vast Qi surged from within Xiao Xuan's body; that Aura gave people a sense of majesty without anger.
The moment Xiao Xuan's Clan Mark appeared, the even higher-grade Emperor Mark between Xiao Yi's brows seemed to respond to a summons.
It started to flicker slightly.
As Xiao Xuan tapped his Clan Mark and pointed toward Xiao Yi's flickering Emperor Mark.
Xiao Yi immediately felt a powerful force surge into the depths of his Soul.
And Xiao Yi's Soul Origin, guided by that powerful force, slowly manifested itself.
"The stronger the Soul becomes, the stronger the Soul Origin will also become! The two are interdependent..."
"When the Soul Origin is strong, one can use a secret technique to divide it. Using this method, one can subdue multiple types of strange flames!"
While Xiao Xuan performed the operation, he patiently explained it to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi nodded in response.
"Take the Soul as the guide! Take the Origin as the covenant..."
"Divide for me!"
As Xiao Xuan's final word fell, the secret technique was completed.
Immediately, the Origin power deep within Xiao Yi's Soul seemed to be controlled.
It instantly split into two, and Xiao Yi could feel his physical body and Soul being torn apart as his Soul Origin divided in two!
"Stabilize for me!"
Following another soft shout from Xiao Xuan, the divided Soul Origin slowly stabilized.
Only then did the feeling of being torn apart cease for Xiao Yi.
At this moment, Xiao Yi could clearly feel two extremely pure streams of power deep within his Soul.
These were the two major Soul Origins after the division.
Furthermore, Xiao Yi could detect that one Soul Origin carried the mark of the Fallen Heart Flame, while the other did not.
Clearly, that was the Soul Origin created through division, prepared for refining the Sea Heart Flame.
"This division technique is not difficult when splitting into two, but the difficulty lies in attempting further divisions later..."
"Back then, I was only able to divide it into three streams, so I could only master three types of strange flames..."
"With your current Heavenly Realm Soul, splitting into two is already the limit..."
"Two Soul Origins are enough to master two strange flames..."
"If you have the Opportunity to find a third strange flame in the future, we can discuss it then..."
Xiao Xuan withdrew his finger and spoke lightly.
After all, in Xiao Xuan's view, rare items like strange flames were not easy to find.
For Xiao Yi to find the Fallen Heart Flame and the Sea Heart Flame all at once was already a tremendous Opportunity...
Possessing these two major strange flames was already enough for Xiao Yi to roam the Continent unchallenged...
Then the Sea Heart Flame Origin jumped again in Xiao Xuan's palm:
"Let's begin. We don't have much time left..."
Because in the blink of an eye, the time arranged with Gu Yuan was fast approaching...
