Chapter 1054 A Rough Life

Yuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, stepped aside, and waited quietly for Wu Lu to stabilize his state.

After half a day, Wu Lu finally stopped emitting five-colored steam, and then slowly opened his eyes.

Just as Yuan Ming was about to step forward to congratulate him, Wu Lu stood up first and bowed to him: "Brother Yuan, thank you very much!"

"If I hadn't taken the initiative to add two poison sacs to you, you wouldn't have suffered the backlash." Yuan Ming waved his hand hurriedly.

"In that case, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to break through to the late stage of Dharma phase, and after this backlash, my internal organs have become more resistant to poison. I also have a hunch that after this time until I break through to Mahayana, my practice will be unusually smooth." Wu Lu smiled.

"If so, it's not a loss." Yuan Ming also smiled.

But immediately, his expression darkened again, and he told Wu Lu about Xia Jie's death.

Wu Lu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, his expression was sad, and he was silent for a long time.

"Senior Xia Jie worked hard for the Chuyun Realm all his life. To die like this is as glorious as dying on the battlefield. We should inherit his legacy and defeat the conspiracy of the demon clan." Wu Lu said with a smile.

"There is still some time before the end of the trial in the Questioning Heaven Secret Realm. What are your plans?" Yuan Ming asked.

"I originally thought that I would return to the Shura Palace to recuperate after breaking through the late Dharma phase. Now I want to continue to practice for a while and test my limits." Wu Lu said.

"Okay, then we will meet again after leaving the Questioning Heaven Secret Realm." Yuan Ming nodded.

After the two separated, Yuan Ming drove the Shura Palace to a hidden valley, tearing the void and hiding the Shura Palace in the turbulence.

In the next period of time, he did not plan to continue exploring the secret realm. During this period of time, the improvement of the law and body cultivation was too fast, and he needed to concentrate on practicing for a period of time to stabilize the realm.

Yuan Ming retreated for several days and refined a demon clan law cultivator of the Mahayana period and two demon clan body cultivators with the body of the scorching sun, and his strength was further improved.

At the end of the retreat, he was surprised to find Xiying waiting outside.

"Shouldn't you be refining Senior Xia Jie's puppet body at this time? Why did you come to me?" Yuan Ming frowned and asked in confusion.

"Everything went well, and my cultivation has improved significantly. But I still can't sense the opportunity to break through to the Ghost Witch Realm. It's futile to wait there, so I want to come and see you." Xiying smiled and explained.

"It shouldn't be. This puppet condenses almost all of Senior Xia Jie's soul power and integrates half of the body of the Moon Goddess. It should be enough to support you to enter the Ghost Witch Realm." Yuan Ming asked in confusion.

"The problem is not the puppet, and my refining process is also fine. But the key to breaking through the Ghost Witch lies in the tempering of the three souls. My three souls are still not tempered well, and the soul power I can accept is limited. This is the reason why I can't break through." Xiying shook her head gently and explained.

"In that case, why not watch the process of Senior Xia Jie's breakthrough and see how he tempered the three souls?" Yuan Ming pondered for a moment and suggested.

"What should I do?" Xiying asked in confusion.

"Connect your divine thoughts to me." Yuan Ming raised his hand and held Xiying's soft pancreas without explanation.

Xiying slowly closed her eyes after hearing this.

Yuan Ming's eyes sank slightly, and his sight turned to Xia Jie's puppet body.

As the Eye of Samsara at his brow slowly rotated and emerged, a bright golden light shot out from it, gently covering Xia Jie's puppet body.

The next moment, some important moments in Xia Jie's past life began to appear in Yuan Ming's sea of ​​consciousness like a revolving lantern, and then transmitted to Xiying through his divine thoughts to view together.

Xia Jie was born in a mine in the bitter cold land in the north of Zhongzhou Continent. He was born as the lowest-level miner. His parents died when he was young, so he suffered from hardships since childhood.

When he was eleven or twelve years old, he was kidnapped by a cultivator who practiced the evil soul secret technique, and his soul was almost extracted to make pills.

Fortunately, he was smart and secretly learned the evil soul secret technique. He killed the other party in a critical moment and embarked on the path of cultivation. But even after becoming a cultivator, his suffering did not end.

Because of his identity as a soul cultivator, he was excluded and had no sect to rely on. Every time he interacted with others, he was either abandoned after being used or betrayed in advance.

Just when he had given up struggling and was about to fall into the evil path, a person who was truly his master appeared and gave him unprecedented care and concern.

His master was also a casual cultivator who took the path of soul cultivation, but his cultivation was not high. He only reached the late stage of illusion witch throughout his life and only knew some soul cultivation illusions.

But it was such an illusion witch who became his guiding light on the road of life after Xia Jie.

However, no matter how ups and downs he experienced, he always adhered to his original intention and did not fall into the evil path.

Later, after going through countless hardships and obstacles, he grew up and became the second-generation guardian of the Izumo Realm, and made great contributions in the last realm war.

Yuan Ming and the others looked at his past experiences, and they couldn't help but shed tears.

"It's really not easy for Senior Xia Jie to come this far." Yuan Ming sighed.

"So I can't let him down." Xiying nodded and said in a deep voice.

The two of them gathered their thoughts and immediately continued to check the scene of Senior Xia Jie's cultivation breakthrough to the ghost witch.

After a long time, the light released by the Eye of Samsara converged, and Xiying slowly opened his eyes.

"Senior Xia Jie's past experiences have made him perseverant. His three souls are already a hundred times stronger than those of ordinary people. He just borrowed the power of the Moon Goddess, which is enough to temper his three souls." Yuan Ming analyzed.

They all saw the process clearly. There was no skill involved. Instead, he had to use his three souls to accept the impact of the majestic soul power to temper his three souls and transform them.

"If we only talk about character, I feel that I am not weaker than Senior Xia Jie. However, although I can now call on the power in the puppet, I cannot fully mobilize the power of the puppet with my status, let alone reach the level of tempering the three souls." Xiying sighed and said.

"If it is just to temper the soul, it may not necessarily require the soul power of the puppet. My Chaos Dao Fruit may also be able to help." Yuan Ming thought for a while and suddenly spoke.

"The power of chaos is the source of all power in the world, and it is also the destination of all power. It is theoretically feasible to temper the three souls with the power of chaos." Xiying pondered for a moment, and said with bright eyes.

"It is feasible, but my power of chaos is more uncontrollable than the soul power of the goddess Mingyue. If you are not careful, it will damage your soul." Yuan Ming reminded.

"It is a risky thing, how can there be no risk? But don't worry, I will pay attention when practicing. If there is a problem, I will borrow the power of senior Xia Jie in time, and there will be no danger to life." Xiying smiled.

Yuan Ming nodded after hearing this, and then he was slightly relieved.

Then, the two of them sat opposite each other, and Yuan Ming activated the Chaos Dao Fruit, releasing a chaos vortex, which hovered above their heads.

After Xiying sat quietly for a while, the three souls flew out from the top of the head, and after circling outside, they tried to approach the chaos vortex that looked like a nebula.

As soon as her three souls approached, they were pulled by a force and crashed directly into the vortex.

Instantly, a sharp pain of soul tearing came, causing Xiying's body to suddenly stiffen and cold sweat all over her body.

Yuan Ming noticed something strange and quickly suppressed the power of his own Chaos Dao Fruit.

Xiying also seized this opportunity and immediately stabilized the three souls, making them sit cross-legged at the edge of the Chaos Vortex, meditating and regulating their breath like a human, and enduring the constant blowing of the Chaos Force.

After persisting for a quarter of an hour, Xiying felt that her three souls were a little more stable, so she continued to approach the area closer to the center of the Chaos Vortex. When she felt that she was about to reach the edge of collapse, she immediately stopped and continued to meditate and sharpen.

After repeating this for a full seven days, Xiying's three souls were already very close to the center of the Chaos Vortex.

Under the tempering of the Chaos Force, her three souls not only became extremely tough, but also absorbed part of the Chaos Force, and successfully touched the opportunity for a breakthrough.

Xiying immediately summoned Xia Jie's puppet body, facing it with both palms, and began to absorb the soul power contained in it frantically.

Not long after, the clear sky suddenly fell into darkness, and a gray full moon appeared out of thin air, turning into endless dark clouds, covering the sky of the entire Shura Palace Secret Realm.

Yuan Ming knew that this was the advent of the "Yin Yue Soul Tribulation", and immediately got up and left the area.

He couldn't help with this last disaster, and Xiying had to deal with it herself.

He watched silently for a long time, then turned and left, and came to the transplanted Demon Cloud Tree alone, where he saw the figures of Huazhi and King Kong.

Huazhi turned into a huge vine at this moment, entwined with the Demon Cloud Tree, and King Kong showed a giant ape demon body. Both of them were madly absorbing pure demonic energy, and their cultivation was also steadily rising.

Half a month later, Xiying was the first to break through to the Ghost Witch Realm.

And Huazhi also ushered in a breakthrough in the continuous accumulation, and finally successfully advanced to the seventh level.

Huazhi successfully advanced, and the demonic energy contained in the Demon Cloud Tree was completely absorbed. However, Yuan Ming did not destroy the tree, but opened up a separate space in the Shura Palace and transplanted it in so that King Kong and Huazhi could use it in the future.

After doing all this, there was not much time left before the end of the Questioning Heaven Secret Realm. Although they failed to help King Kong find a breakthrough opportunity, they could not stay any longer. Yuan Ming and others could only get up with regret and fly towards the interface channel of the Cloud Realm.

On the way, Yuan Ming found Wang Fulong's location through the Soul Descending Rune, and went to find him on the way, and also wanted to take him with him.

When Yuan Ming arrived, Wang Fulong was practicing in an ancient tomb. He seemed to have a great opportunity, and his cultivation had reached the late stage of the Dharma Phase.

"My Lord, you are here... Have you broken through to the Mahayana?" He sensed Yuan Ming's arrival and hurriedly stood up to salute. As soon as he lowered his head, he suddenly raised it up, and his expression was stunned.

"Yes, it is also thanks to the help of the seventh-level monster here." Yuan Ming smiled.

"Congratulations, sir." Wang Fulong came back to his senses and hurriedly continued to salute.
