"So the Talisman Dao is right beside me …" Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes and murmured. At this moment, he was enlightened!
A thick and mysterious force of the soul emanated from Lu Xuan's body. At the same time, that immense force of the soul instantly spread out in his mind. A lake began to appear, and it continued to expand. Ten feet, ten feet, three hundred feet … It continued to expand until it reached a radius of around three thousand feet. The lake did not stop expanding until it reached around six thousand feet.
The lake was sparkling. The lake water was not lake water, but Lu Xuan's abundant Soul Energy. This lake was the symbol of a Divine Talisman Master, the Soul Lake!
Lu Xuan's consciousness came to his mind and condensed into his own appearance. Looking at the huge Soul Lake in front of him, his mind was slightly excited. He had finally become a Divine Talisman Master. It was faster than he had imagined. He thought that he would break through the Great Void Realm first before becoming a Divine Talisman Master. He did not expect that the Path of Soul Refinement would be ahead of the Path of Spirit Refinement.
For all this, Lu Xuan had to thank two people. One was Buno. If he had not absorbed the Soul Pearl condensed by Buno's powerful Soul Energy and completely absorbed Buno's remnant soul, how could he have accumulated enough Soul Energy so quickly? The other was Ye Tian. The Enlightenment Pavilion that Ye Tian left behind allowed him to be completely immersed in the world of Talisman Dao. This allowed him to grasp the mysterious Talisman Dao so quickly.
At this moment, Lu Xuan had completely understood what Talisman Dao was. In fact, the so-called Talisman Dao was just a name given by the Human Race. Even the word "Talisman" was just a name.
For the Soul Race, the so-called Talisman Dao was actually the Path of Soul. Talismans were just a way of using talismans to display the power of Soul Energy.
Because it was impossible to condense a Soul Lake before becoming a Divine Talisman Master, one needed a carrier for one's Soul Strength, which was the Spirit Talisman Scroll. Runes were just a way to use Soul Strength. Therefore, after Lu Xuan comprehended a bit of Talisman Dao, he could easily use runes to construct Spirit Talismans based on his feelings.
In fact, Talisman Dao was the Path of Soul. And the Soul Lake was the foundation of soul power! Therefore, before becoming a Divine Talisman Master, a Talisman Seal could be imprinted in one's soul so that it could be used quickly. That was because the Talisman Seal was a miniature Soul Lake.
Now that Lu Xuan had become a Divine Talisman Master and condensed a Soul Lake, he didn't need any talismans at all. With a raise of his hand, he could exert a powerful soul force.
However, there was a reason why the Talisman Dao was called the Talisman Dao. It was because the talisman was another use of the soul power. The direct use of the soul power was called Soul Technique. The use of the soul power in the form of talisman was called Talisman Technique.
In fact, at this moment, Lu Xuan didn't dare to say that he had comprehended the Talisman Dao. He only understood the foundation of Talisman Technique. As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless. Lu Xuan wanted to add, the knowledgeable are in awe. Only when one truly stepped into the Talisman Dao would he know how vast and boundless the Talisman Dao was.
Once again, Lu Xuan immersed himself in the world of Talisman Dao. There were still many things that he couldn't comprehend. However, with his current strength, he couldn't go any further. He knew that the Soul Refining lineage still had a long way to go.
After exiting the world of Talisman Dao, Lu Xuan picked up the Soul Devouring Technique. Only now did he know why the Soul Devouring Technique could only be practiced by becoming a Divine Talisman Master. It was because of the existence of the Soul Lake.
The Soul Devouring Technique wasn't actually profound. It could even be said to be an extremely overbearing Soul Technique. It relied on powerful Soul Energy to forcefully devour the soul of the enemy, and then use the Soul Lake to wash away the distracting thoughts within the enemy's soul. Only then would it be able to transform into pure Soul Energy for one's own use.
After merely spending seven minutes, Lu Xuan had already mastered the Soul Devouring Technique. At this moment, his Soul Energy was equivalent to the level of a two star Divine Talisman Master. In other words, he was a two star Soul Emperor of the Soul race. If he were to face a member of the Soul race whose strength was below this level, there would be no need for Lu Xuan to fight at all. It would be sufficient to devour the opponent.
However, the Soul Devouring Technique wasn't that easy to use. When devouring the soul of the enemy, the other party would definitely resist with all their might. Moreover, one would also be invaded by the distracting thoughts of the enemy. At this moment, one needed to calm down and deal with it. If one rashly devoured the soul of the enemy in a chaotic battle, it would definitely give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.
After mastering the Soul Devouring Technique, Lu Xuan finally took out the jade scroll that recorded the Soul Splitting Technique. Compared to the Soul Devouring Technique, the difficulty of practicing the Soul Splitting Technique was more than ten times higher. It involved the origin of the soul, which Lu Xuan was temporarily unable to understand. However, with the Soul Splitting Technique in his hands, he only needed to follow it. However, he couldn't be careless. After all, the soul was the foundation of life. If he was careless, his mind would be in chaos, and if worse, his soul would be destroyed.
Calming down his mind, Lu Xuan began to practice the Soul Splitting Technique. At this moment, his Soul Lake started to gradually calm down, without any ripples.
Lu Xuan didn't rashly split the entire Soul Lake into two halves. That would be courting death. Instead, he only tried to split a small part at the corner of the Soul Lake.
The pain one had to endure when practicing the Soul Splitting Technique was simply unimaginable. Lu Xuan originally thought that the feeling of being devoured by Buno was already the most painful, but now that he was practicing the Soul Splitting Technique, he understood that the pain was not even worth mentioning compared to this.
The feeling of the Soul Splitting Technique was like someone holding a blunt knife and forcibly cutting your body into two halves. If it was a sharp knife, it would be fine. As long as the knife was sharp enough and fast enough, there would even be no pain at the moment of cutting. However, if it was a blunt knife that slowly cut down, it would be called torture.
Now, Lu Xuan was constantly repeating this kind of torture, and he was asking for it.
"Ahhhhh!"
Waves of miserable howls constantly came out of Lu Xuan's mouth. It was painful, it was really painful, but even so, he still had to forcibly stabilize his mind and split his soul. Otherwise, he would never be able to truly split his soul.
Little Tanuki, who was sleeping soundly at the side, couldn't help but be awakened by Lu Xuan's constant wailing and howling. It looked at Lu Xuan with worry in its eyes. It knew that Lu Xuan was definitely cultivating, but it couldn't help him at all. It could only constantly scratch its claws and worry for Lu Xuan.
After splitting his soul again and again, Lu Xuan's throat was completely hoarse, and he couldn't shout at all. This instead made him more focused, and after being in this kind of pain for a long time, his resistance to pain had greatly increased.
Lu Xuan felt as if an era had passed. Every breath and every instant was so long, but the effect was also outstanding. He had become more and more familiar with the Soul Splitting Technique.
After countless failures, Lu Xuan finally succeeded in splitting a small Soul Lake. No, it couldn't be called a Soul Lake, or perhaps a Soul Pond, because it was too small. It was so small that it was swallowed by the huge Soul Lake before Lu Xuan could see it clearly. Unless Lu Xuan could completely split the entire Soul Lake in half, it couldn't be considered a successful Soul Splitting Technique.
Perhaps it was time for him to try the real Soul Splitting Technique. Lu Xuan took a deep breath and focused his mind like never before. All the key points of the Soul Splitting Technique appeared clearly in Lu Xuan's mind.
"Split!" Lu Xuan shouted and started the Soul Splitting Technique again. However, this time, he wasn't splitting a small Soul Lake. He was going to split the entire Soul Lake in half.
Lu Xuan felt an even more intense pain than before. His face was already contorted, but he didn't know it at all. He could only forcefully endure the pain and focus on splitting the Soul Lake.
A loud bang exploded in Lu Xuan's mind. Lu Xuan almost lost consciousness. When he regained his senses and looked at the Soul Lake in front of him again, he saw two smaller Soul Lakes clearly in front of him. His soul power rippled continuously in the Soul Lake, showing that he wasn't calm at the moment.
Success? Success!
Lu Xuan wanted to laugh out loud, but he didn't have the strength to do so. However, the satisfaction in his heart couldn't be erased. He finally had two Soul Lakes. As long as he continued to absorb soul power, he would expand the two Soul Lakes to a radius of thousands of meters. At that time, his soul power would be incomparably strong!
Lu Xuan's eyelashes trembled slightly as he opened his eyes. At this moment, his face was extremely pale. Looking at Little Tanuki, who was looking at him anxiously, Lu Xuan forced out a smile. "Little Tanuki, did I wake you up?"
The moment he spoke, Lu Xuan was shocked by his own voice. His throat was almost completely hoarse.
"Xuan, are you alright?" Little Tanuki jumped onto Lu Xuan's shoulder and reached out with her little paw to wipe the sweat off Lu Xuan's forehead. "You scared me to death."
"I'm fine." Lu Xuan revealed a gratified smile. "I was cultivating a Soul Technique just now. Fortunately, I've finally mastered it. How are you?"
Little Tanuki scratched her head. "I feel like I'm still lacking a little. Why does it seem like Ao Ze's bloodline is much easier to advance than mine?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Ao Ze is from the Deep Sea Giant Jiao Dragon bloodline, and the most powerful one among them is only at the eighth rank. Your bloodline is of a higher rank than his, so it is only natural that it would be more difficult for you to make a breakthrough. Most importantly, how long have you been training?
Little Tanuki nodded. Then, she hugged a huge Demonic Core and said, "Xuan, I want to try this. I think I should be able to advance after eating it."
Lu Xuan was slightly startled. What Little Tanuki was holding was a Demon Sovereign's Demonic Core. With her current strength in the Demon King Realm, it was a very dangerous thing to eat a Demon Sovereign's Demonic Core. Lu Xuan was about to stop her, but he thought that it was also dangerous for him to cultivate the Soul Splitting Technique just now.
With his help, Little Tanuki could indeed improve her strength steadily. But if she wanted to improve her strength quickly, she also needed to take risks. Whether it was a human or a demonic beast, they couldn't grow under the protection of others.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan nodded slowly. "You decide for yourself. I can't help you decide everything. There are many things that you have to rely on yourself."
Little Tanuki looked at the Demonic Core in her hands. She made up her mind and said, "Then I'll eat it!"
After saying that, she fiercely bit the Demonic Core.
