Lu Xuan patted Yao Lei on the shoulder and nodded. Without saying anything else, he tossed out the Tempest Spirit Ship, and everyone boarded it. Under the gazes of Lu Yu and the others, the Tempest Spirit Ship quickly disappeared...
Lu Xuan first went to the Wind Sword Clan and sent Xia Ye there. Lu Qiong was about to go down with him, but Lu Xuan stopped her.
Lu Xuan said, "Sister, come with me to the Xuan Ice Pavilion. Chenxi, Xinyi, and the others are all at the Xuan Ice Pavilion. If you stay there, you can take care of them."
Lu Qiong hesitated, "I just broke through to Spirit Refinement Realm. Will Ice Pavilion accept me?"
Zhao Bing`er smiled, "Sister Lu, you worry too much. Master is now the Great Elder of Ice Pavilion. Plus, who would dare to not give face to Lu Xuan? Not to mention that you have already reached Spirit Refinement Realm, even if you don't have any strength, it won't be a problem."
"Then … Alright." Lu Qiong was a little tempted. Since she had already embarked on the path of martial arts, how could she not yearn for a powerful sect?
Lu Xuan smiled faintly and drove the Jifeng Spirit Boat forward at high speed. He had made this decision because he saw Han Fei harassing Lu Qiong earlier. While Yang Yi was definitely on his side, as the Sect Leader, he still had a lot to worry about. If he brought Lu Qiong to the Xuan Ice Pavilion, with Zhao Binger and the others protecting her, there would definitely be no one who would cause trouble for her. Moreover, the cultivation conditions that Lu Qiong could enjoy were not something that the Wind Sword Sect could compare to.
When they arrived at Ice Pavilion, Lu Xuan put everyone down but he didn't intend to go down. He said, "Bing`er, now that the Soul Race has appeared, I need to go to a place to cultivate for a while. Sister, please arrange it for me."
Zhao Bing`er was a little surprised and asked, "How long will you be gone?"
"At most half a year, at least three months." Lu Xuan needed to consolidate his strength.
Zhao Binger nodded. "Alright, I'll take good care of Sister Lu."
The Swift Wind Spirit Boat immediately turned around, and Lu Xuan directly headed towards the Heavenly Emperor Palace. Only Little Tanuki was left with him. The last time he left the Heaven Emperor Palace, he was only at the 1st level of the Origin Realm. Now that he had returned, he was already at the 8th level of the Origin Realm.
Although there were many treasures in the Heavenly Monarch Palace, Lu Xuan was not allowed to use them as he wished. Only when he broke through to the next realm would he be able to choose from the treasures. Although his strength had improved tremendously, he was still unable to break through to the Virtualized Realm. Therefore, there were not many treasures that he could choose from. Lu Xuan had to be careful. He was already calculating what he should choose.
Flying into the mountains, Lu Xuan was able to see the milky white barrier shrouding the Heavenly Emperor Palace from afar. He was the only one who could go in and out at will. The monsters inside could not come out, and people outside could not get in either.
Circulating the Taiyi Return to Origin Technique to protect himself, Lu Xuan took a deep breath and rushed towards the barrier. Feeling the power of the Taiyi Return to Origin Technique, the barrier didn't release any power and easily let Lu Xuan in.
What entered his eyes was a forest of towering trees. It was the ancient forest that he was familiar with.
After staying in the Heaven Emperor Palace for a year, Lu Xuan was already very familiar with the ancient forest. After determining the direction, he immediately flew towards the bloodline barrier. With a wave of his hand, he pressed the token that Ye Tian gave him into the barrier. The bloodline barrier instantly opened, revealing the teleportation array within.
Stepping into the teleportation array, Lu Xuan appeared in the Heaven Emperor Palace after a flash of radiance.
"Heaven Emperor Palace, I'm back." Lu Xuan revealed a trace of a smile as he sized up the majestic palace. It was a pity that he couldn't carry it around like the Taiyi Cauldron. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to spend so much time running around.
"Xuan, where are we going?" Little Tanuki asked.
"Let's go to the Book Depository first. Previously, I had my eyes on quite a number of items. But due to my limited strength, I couldn't choose them." Lu Xuan said.
According to the rules set by Ye Tian, every time the Refined Spirit broke through a realm, the Body Refinement Divine Rune rose by one star, the Talisman Master rose by three stars, or the War God Temple's challenge, there would be a chance to choose.
Previously, Lu Xuan had already broken through to the Origin Realm in the Heaven Emperor Palace. Although he had reached the eighth level of the Origin Realm, he still couldn't get the chance to choose. He could only choose after reaching the Void Realm.
But now that his Body Refinement Divine Rune Master had reached the 2-star to the 3-star, he could get a chance to choose. His Talisman Dao had also advanced from the 5-star Talisman Master to the 9-star Talisman Master, he could get two chances to choose. All in all, he only had three chances to choose. If he wanted to choose anything else, he could only challenge the War God Temple!
Arriving at the Book Depository, Lu Xuan went straight for the soul techniques. After the battle with Buno, Lu Xuan had deeply felt the strangeness and power of the soul race. Even if he could defeat Buno head-on, Buno's final desperate attack almost caused him to be possessed.
As his gaze swept across the powerful soul techniques, Lu Xuan's brows furrowed even tighter. The Book Depository kept the treasures of the human race. Of course, there was no lack of powerful soul techniques. But these soul techniques could only be successfully cultivated after reaching the Divine Talisman Master realm. And those that could be cultivated in the Talisman Master realm were simply unable to deal with a powerful Soul Emperor like Buno. To Lu Xuan, it didn't matter if there were or not.
"Soul Devouring Technique …" Lu Xuan's gaze was fixed on this soul technique. Previously, his soul was almost devoured by Buno with this technique. There was no doubt that this soul technique was powerful and overbearing, but it could only be cultivated in the Divine Talisman Master realm.
After a slight hesitation, Lu Xuan lightly shouted, "Open!"
The array that enveloped the Soul Devouring Technique was immediately opened. Lu Xuan stretched out his hand and took the jade slip that recorded the Soul Devouring Technique. Now that he was already a Nine Star Talisman Master and had touched the edge of the Talisman Dao, once he successfully comprehended the Talisman Dao, becoming a Divine Talisman Master wouldn't be a problem at all. Lu Xuan had already made up his mind to become a Divine Talisman Master in the Heavenly Emperor Palace before leaving.
Otherwise, it was very likely that he would be killed by the soul race experts. The Sword Crystal could help him once, help him twice, but it couldn't help him every time.
After putting away the Soul Devouring Technique jade slip, Lu Xuan continued to search. He saw many soul techniques that Buno had used back then, such as the powerful soul attack secret technique, Soul Dispersal, Soul Separation, Soul Weapon Transformation and so on. However, these things weren't what Lu Xuan urgently needed, so he naturally wouldn't waste his precious opportunity to choose these.
Soon, Lu Xuan's gaze was attracted by an extremely powerful soul technique, the Soul Splitting Technique!
Looking at the description of the Soul Remnant Technique carefully, even with Lu Xuan's current composure, he couldn't help but tremble with fear. As the name suggested, this Soul Splitting Technique was used to split the soul. However, it wasn't the enemy's soul, but his own soul!
As everyone knew, there was a limit to the power of the soul. Only when one reached a certain realm, would one be able to have a certain strength of the soul. Why was Buno's soul so powerful, but after Lu Xuan absorbed it, he only managed to raise his own soul to the level of a Two Star Divine Talisman Master. That was Lu Xuan's current strength, which could only strengthen his soul to this extent at most. Even if he were to devour another Buno, his soul wouldn't be able to continue to grow.
However, it was different after practicing the Soul Splitting Technique. After practicing the Soul Splitting Technique, one could split one's soul into two, or even two into four. When one's strength was strong enough, one could even split infinitely.
Once the split was successful, each soul would become independent, and he could continue to grow stronger. If Lu Xuan successfully practiced the Soul Splitting Technique and split his soul into two, then he would only need to absorb enough soul power to have two souls comparable to a Two Star Divine Talisman Master. How powerful would that be?
Not only that, after successfully practicing the Soul Splitting Technique, it would be of great help to practicing the Soul Splitting Technique. The soul split by the Soul Splitting Technique could only exist in one's body, but the Soul Splitting Technique could separate the soul from the body. In other words … Lu Xuan could use a remnant soul to possess another body, which was equivalent to having another life.
Looking at the description of the Soul Splitting Technique, Lu Xuan's heart thumped. There was no doubt that the Soul Splitting Technique was powerful, but it was also extremely difficult to practice. If one's will wasn't strong enough, or if one's soul power wasn't strong enough, it was very likely that one's soul would be directly scattered when the soul was split, and one would die instantly.
