Chapter 1433: Chapter 1433: Secret of the Soul! Second Update

The process of soul splitting left Ye Qiu unable to recover for three consecutive days, yet he discovered that his soul seemed to have grown slightly, appearing to fill in the missing part of his soul power.

This surprised Ye Qiu, could it be that the split soul can be replenished through cultivation?

Does that mean the soul can also be cultivated?

Ye Qiu found it somewhat unbelievable; the soul is too mysterious. Although he is an emperor realm martial artist, his understanding of the soul was only limited to it being the essence of a person.

As for other aspects, he knew nothing.

Ye Qiu felt that he had discovered a secret about the soul, something that could make the soul grow.

What kind of changes will happen if a person’s soul becomes stronger?

Ye Qiu did not know what this meant. It could be said that in today’s world, Ye Qiu was the first martial artist to start researching the soul.

To verify his hypothesis, Ye Qiu began to try various methods to make his soul grow.

Absorbing nature’s spiritual energy? The effect seemed ineffective, or rather, extremely slow.

But if one does not absorb spiritual energy, how can the soul be increased?

Ye Qiu recalled what he had done at that time when his soul had a slight growth.

But the more he thought about it, the more he was puzzled, because he had done nothing.

Ever since the soul splitting succeeded, his soul had been hovering in mid-air.

Suddenly, Ye Qiu’s eyes flickered as he thought, “Could it be related to the duration of staying outside the physical body?”

Ye Qiu decided to give it a try.

Extracting his soul from his body, Ye Qiu felt as if he was drained, as if his body was no longer his own.

However, because he is an emperor realm warrior, even if the soul is out of the body, the physical body remains vibrant and alive.

If it were an ordinary person, as soon as the soul leaves the body for a moment, they would soon fall into death.

The soul is Ye Qiu, looking at his own physical body, which he hadn’t paid much attention to before. At this moment, noticing this scene, he felt strange, looking at himself, sitting motionless, like a statue.

This is a state of soullessness, as the saying goes, six spirits have no master, the master being the soul.

The soul is mysterious, even detached from the body, Ye Qiu still had senses, emotions, consciousness, spirit; it seemed to be a combination of all of humanity’s life traits, or it was nothing but a unique substance, indescribable and inexplicable.

The soul floated in mid-air, fluttering like a flame.

Ye Qiu maintained his soul state, not returning to the body, waiting until his connection with the body gradually decreased, decreased further, until at the last moment he returned to his body.

Upon examining the soul, indeed, there was a slight increase, even though it was small, Ye Qiu could detect it clearly.

Later, Ye Qiu tried again, this time not only staying out of the body but also cultivating in the soul state, absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, and indeed, the effect was several times better than before, which showed Ye Qiu a new way of cultivation.

Ye Qiu became absorbed in increasing the soul, even tirelessly.

However, one thing must be noted while cultivating the soul, the environment must be absolutely safe, otherwise, if disturbed or attacked, without the body’s protection, the soul can be easily scattered. Ye Qiu thought that even a true qi realm attack could crumble the soul of an emperor realm martial artist.

“How can I enhance the soul’s defensive power and attack power?” Ye Qiu began to ponder because he thought if he could enhance the soul’s attack and defense, it would be a deadly move; then killing intruders would not require bodily combat, as long as he could extract their soul from the body and crush it directly, no matter how strong, they would surely perish.

This path is unknown, but from the reminder of soul splitting, Ye Qiu felt this path is walkable.

He recalled the former Shang Emperor, who did not have a body but attached to a statue.

That white light must be the soul of the Shang Emperor, but his soul was not weak and could even fight him without a body.

Moreover, the belief power used by the Shang Emperor, Ye Qiu speculated, might also enhance soul power, forming avatars like what was shown in the prehistoric world array, where the Shang Emperor’s avatar was no weaker than his true form.

“There are many paths in this world, others’ paths can be referenced, but may not suit oneself. I, Ye Qiu, will only walk my own path,” Ye Qiu murmured.

Later, while the soul was out of the body, Ye Qiu either cultivated or studied rule power, discovering that in this state, his mind worked in extraordinary ways, greatly aiding the study of rule power.

On the path of the nine rule powers, Ye Qiu began simultaneously cultivating his soul and pondering, though initially slow, as Ye Qiu became more familiar, this dual cultivation mode seemed excellent, at least doubling the previous cultivation speed.

When Ye Qiu was ardently cultivating, another intruder arrived at Moonwatch Peak.

“To sneak in like this, it seems they are aware of the previous individuals getting trapped in my illusion array.” Ye Qiu stopped cultivating, got up, and left the room.

This time, only one intruder entered Moonwatch Peak, Ye Qiu intended to meet him in person, if truly outnumbered, he would think of a way to lure him into the illusion array.

At this moment, a figure was quietly approaching the Moonwatch Peak villa, neither the guard at the gate nor Qin Feng, sitting atop the peak, noticed.

“Who knows what method these natives used to make seven or eight old fellows disappear without a trace. Once I capture him, I’ll interrogate him thoroughly.”

This was a gray-robed old man who had previously entered the illusion array at the Taishan summit, yet he didn’t delve deeply, just entering one spot, he luckily reached the array’s core and with minor injuries ran out of the array.

Afterward, feeling the Mighty Emperor’s Bell was hard to seize, he temporarily gave up, first deciding to find the Saint Heir, thus came to Moonwatch Peak after inquiring.

Originally planning to charge straight up, upon hearing several intruders failing to deal with Ye Qiu, he gave up making a big noise and snuck in stealthily.

“I thought the place was heavily guarded, turns out it’s not,” the old man easily reached the peak, without any obstruction, even disdainfully glanced at Qin Feng from afar, full of contempt.

“Seems he isn’t as formidable as imagined, I can come and go freely from Moonwatch Peak, the native is after all native, what insight do these mortals have, I actually believed what they said, how ridiculous,” the old man sighed, preparing to capture Ye Qiu.

Suddenly, a faint voice sounded: “An uninvited guest, I, Ye, apologize for not welcoming you from afar.”

The old man was suddenly startled, only seeing a figure slowly appearing before him, an unusually young face with a light smile.

“You are that native Ye Qiu?” the old man asked in surprise.

“Why do you outsiders always say this when you first arrive? Are you blind? Want to find me yet don’t recognize me, are your brains malfunctioning?” Ye Qiu lightly mocked.
