Chapter 1796: Yin-Yang Soul Refining Art II

Hun Lingwang could only shake his head at Ling Yun, as his soul cultivation hadn't yet reached that level—even though he was a soul spirit.

As for Long Hun, he was the Primordial Chaos Dragon in the past, but Chaos limited him in many ways. Despite her cultivation having reached the True Supreme Realm, Huang Lingzhu hadn't reached that high level in soul cultivation either.

Long Hun looked at Ling Yun seriously. "What makes you think that the sixth stage can help you upgrade your soul sea to soul world?"

"Besides helping me reach the Immortal Soul level, the Origin Soul Ascension technique can also help my soul merge with the essence of the universe." Ling Yun looked at them with a serious expression. "Moreover, I will also gain Chaos's omnipotence abilities if I succeed in defeating him and taking his place."

Long Hun fell into deep thought after he heard that. He wasn't sure that Ling Yun could transform his soul sea into a soul world, but the situation would be different if he inherited Chaos's abilities.

After all, Chaos was the creator of the universe and everything in it, including living creatures. Furthermore, the Primordial Origin Soul Technique wasn't a random technique, and Long Hun was certain that his father created it for a specific reason.

However, no one had ever learned the technique before, including Long Hun himself. If Ling Yun had never gone to the Holy Land of Sword, he would definitely never have discovered that technique. 'Could it be that my father knew everything from the start and left that technique in that realm, especially for him? If he really did that, he might have known from the start that this kid would think about this.'

After thinking for some time, Long Hun looked at Ling Yun again. "Even though you're sure about that, I'm not sure you can use that technique to transform your soul sea into a soul world, kid."

"I know." Ling Yun nodded in agreement. "I'm not saying that my technique can help me with that, but I think it will help me reach the immortal soul level. As you know, I already have immortal energy in my body, and I will become a true immortal once it reaches its peak. Reflecting on your and Jian Xiezhen's deaths, I realized that I can't rely on that. You were both true immortals, but you guys died in the end, so I think I need something else to achieve my goal."

"You mean you want to make your body and soul immortal, right?"

Ling Yun nodded to Hun Lingwang. "After I inherit some things in the future, my body will become immortal, but their deaths prove that their souls are not immortal. That's why I think that I should reach the immortal soul level first, and if necessary, I should reach the undying soul level."

"The undying soul level can only be achieved by my father, kid," Long Hun sighed. "Since my father chose you as his successor, your soul power will also reach that level in the future. However, you won't be able to transform your soul sea into a soul world just by relying on the two, and you will need to create a new soul technique to do so."

"I agree with you." Ling Yun nodded. "Actually, I've thought about that, and the new technique should be directly related to Yin and Yang."

"The universe and everything in it are indeed created from Yin and Yang, so you must create the technique with the same principles as when my father created this universe; otherwise, the technique would be useless."

"That's true." Ling Yun nodded in agreement. "I've been seriously considering it for quite some time now, Old Dragon. However, I still have some hesitation about reshaping my soul sea from scratch because the risks are too great, and my best chance to do so is after I defeat Chaos and reach the undying soul level. Unfortunately, that will take a very long time, and my soul world will take a long time to mature."

Hun Lingwang thought for a moment and asked him, "Can you explain to us your idea for your new soul cultivation technique?"

"Sure." Ling Yun explained to them directly.

A soul, relative to the human body, was one of the most fundamental parts of a human's life.

Yin and Yang Qi form the soul, just like the mortal body does. Yin Qi forms a female soul, while Yang Qi forms a male soul. According to legends, plants, air, earth, and many other things, once having experienced countless years and unimaginable coincidences, could gain wisdom and turn into other living beings, one of which is a beast born from nature.

All beings at a certain level of soul cultivation can discard their mortal bodies and assume their soul forms. As long as their souls are alive, they will never die. Unfortunately, the process of reshaping their bodies will take a very long time—decades or even millennia.

When we enter the soul realm, the soul takes on its most basic form, marking the beginning of soul cultivation.

The second level of soul cultivation is to form the soul mark, which is the source of life. If one absorbs the spirit mark of others, their personalities become muddled, possibly splitting apart. They eventually fall into depravity and become living corpses. It is impossible to erase the spirit mark because it permeates every aspect of a soul, completely merging with it. If one uses force to destroy it, it will also destroy the soul itself.

The third level of soul cultivation is expanding our soul space to become a soul sea. The soul sea holds a cultivator's soul and soul power. In truth, it is more like a miniature dimension. As one goes further down the cultivation path, their soul sea becomes something akin to a tiny world.

The fourth stage of soul cultivation is forming the soul world. The soul world is almost similar to every world in the universe, and the owner can create some things at will, including other living beings. They may also be able to bring other living beings into their soul world. The main advantage of the soul world is that the owner can borrow the power of every living being in it, but reaching that stage is also not easy and requires a long process, especially since every living being needs time to grow and become strong.

The fifth level of soul cultivation is giving birth to several other soul worlds to form a soul universe. If the cultivator can create it, then that person's soul will become another universe within our universe. The more worlds that are born in that universe, the more power the owner can borrow, and he or she will become the god in their own universe.

Just like increasing our cultivation, the path of soul dual cultivation is the best and fastest way to increase one's soul power, especially since the soul itself is Yin and Yang, and combining the two will have a significant impact on the development of one's soul.

Hun Lingwang and Long Hun exchanged glances for a moment before returning their gazes to Ling Yun. "Where do you get all those ideas?"

"Hahaha," Ling Yun scratched his head awkwardly. "The idea came from some old novels I read before I became a cultivator."

Hun Lingwang and Long Hun frowned at that, but they admitted that Earthlings had unparalleled imaginations, coming up with such ideas. However, they didn't know whether all these ideas could be implemented in the real world or not, and Ling Yun would be doomed to failure if he failed.

Ling Yun sighed. "I understand what you two are thinking, but that's the best I can think of for now. I won't rashly reform my soul sea, and I'll think about it more while I wait for my cultivation to improve."

"What is the name of that technique if you manage to create it in the future?"

"The Yin-Yang Soul Refining Art."

After discussing some other matters, Long Yun returned to Ling Yun's body, and the latter immediately left the area.

Ling Yun didn't immediately return to his residence; instead, he chatted with Shangguan Qinglan for some time in the valley. He was attracted to her, but she had no interest in him or in romance. Thus, he didn't approach her romantically and talked about other things, mainly the demon invasions in several domains.

Shangguan Qinglan knew that Ling Yun had thousands of powerful beasts by his side, and she wanted to ask him to send them to various domains, but she gave up the idea after remembering Chaos.

Shangguan Qinglan could only sigh as she watched Ling Yun leave. She wanted to eradicate those demons, but she didn't have enough power to do so, and the distance between each domain was also extremely far.

After returning to the Yunlong Zhuzhai, Ling Yun didn't go to see all his wives; instead, he went to the eastern garden and sat on the boulder by the small pond, thinking about the Yin-Yang Soul Refining Art.

Ling Yun raised an eyebrow when Chaos suddenly appeared before him. "What brings you to me today?"

"Your idea about the Yin-Yang Soul Refining Art."

"Hmm?" Ling Yun looked at Chaos thoughtfully, but he wasn't surprised to hear that from him. "Do you think it's feasible?"

"Yes," Chaos nodded. "Honestly, I never thought of something like that when I created everything in the past, but I can tell you that it's possible."

Ling Yun nodded slightly. "Do you think I can create that technique with my current soul cultivation?"
