"Junior greets Elder Cang." At this moment, no matter how stupid Xing Jue was, he had already guessed the identity of this old man. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
"Haha, no need to be so courteous. Get up, get up …" Seeing that Xing Jue had actually knelt on the ground, the old man hurriedly helped Xing Jue up and said with a smile. His appearance was like an old man looking at his descendant with a benevolent expression.
Seeing how close the two were, Xiaoqian also smiled happily at the side.
After chatting for a while, Xing Jue also learned that this old man was an elder of the Soul-Eater Clan. After the Soul-Eater Clan was exterminated, he had led Xiaoqian and the others to protect the young masters and evacuate.
However, because a traitor had appeared within the clan and revealed their whereabouts, in the end, their group was still exterminated. This elder was also killed by someone, but his soul had taken advantage of the chaos to escape and finally arrived here.
However, even though he had successfully escaped back then, Elder Cang's soul had been severely injured, causing his strength to continuously decline. Now, Elder Cang's strength had dropped to the level of a mid-level Martial God, only one level higher than Xiaoqian.
"I never thought that Elder Cang's strength would actually decline to such an extent. Back then, Elder Cang was …" When Xiaoqian heard that Elder Cang's strength had declined, she said with some sadness.
"Sigh, what's there to mention about what happened back then? I'm already very lucky to be able to survive in this world. Most importantly, I'm actually able to see a descendant of my clan while I'm still alive. This can be said to be the greatest fortune in misfortune. "Speaking to this point, Elder Cang even smiled and glanced at Xing Jue.
"I've also heard of the Soul Lock Curse. Back then, the souls of our clansmen mostly died because of the Soul Lock Curse. It's already very impressive that Elder Cang is able to endure until now." After hearing Elder Cang's words, Xiaoqian also reacted and said immediately.
The Soul Lock Curse was an extremely sinister technique. As long as a soul was struck by the Soul Lock Curse, the soul force would quickly dissipate. In the end, only death awaited them.
"It's all thanks to the power of the 'Soul Essence' that I'm able to live until now. Otherwise, I would've died like the other clansmen due to the exhaustion of my soul." Elder Cang said with a slight smile.
"Soul? What's that? "Xing Jue was puzzled. This was the first time that Xing Jue had heard of the term 'soul'.
"Haha, Xing Jue, do you know about souls and beast souls?" After hearing Xing Jue's words, Elder Cang laughed and asked.
"Well, of course I know," Xing Jue answered affirmatively. Souls were unique to the human body, and soul bodies, such as this Elder Cang, belonged to the category of pure souls. Naturally, Xing Jue knew about Beast Souls. However, Xing Jue had never heard of Spirit Essence.
"Compared to souls and beast souls, Spirit Essence is even rarer, and even more precious."
"Spirit Essence is not produced from the human body, nor is it produced from the body of a beast. Instead, it is produced between the heavens and earth. In short, even in the Sky Martial Continent, Spirit Essence is an extremely rare existence."
"Furthermore, every single Soul Essence possesses terrifying Soul Energy. Back then, my Spirit Devouring Clan had three Spirit Essences. Two of them were refined by the experts of the clan before the great war. "
"And this one was brought out by me. All these years, if it wasn't for the soul force within this Spirit Essence, I would've long since died because of the 'Soul Lock Curse'." Elder Cang slowly said, clearly still having some lingering fear.
As he spoke, he inserted his hand into his body. After extending his hand, a lotus-like object appeared on his palm. This was the Spirit Essence.
This' Spirit Essence 'was light blue in color, shaped like a blooming lotus, and was the size of a palm. Furthermore, on the surface of the Spirit Essence, there were also traces of light blue gas lingering.
But even such a weak gas, Xing Jue could feel an incomparably powerful soul force within it.
"This is a Spirit Essence?" Looking at the soul in Elder Cang's hand, Xing Jue couldn't help but feel shocked. Such a powerful Spiritual Strength, if he were to refine it, his Spiritual Strength would definitely soar by leaps and bounds, reaching a terrifying level.
"It's a pity that our clan's Spirit Devouring Art is no longer in use. Otherwise, after Xing Jue learned the Spirit Devouring Art, he would be able to refine this Spirit Essence." At this point, Elder Cang suddenly said somewhat regretfully.
"Hehe, Elder Cang, are you talking about this?" After hearing Elder Cang's words, Xing Jue instead chuckled. Immediately after, with a flick of his wrist, a black book appeared.
"Spirit Devouring Art? Heavens, it really is the Soul Devouring Art. That's great, that's great. "After Elder Cang saw the Soul Devouring Art in Xing Jue's hand, he immediately snatched it and flipped through it. When he discovered that it really was the Soul Devouring Art, he laughed excitedly.
"Reporting to Elder, during the chaos that year, I took advantage of it and kept the Spirit Devouring Art." Xiaoqian said somewhat timidly. The Spirit Devouring Art was the clan's Spirit Devouring Art. Actually, she had secretly kept it, which was already a great crime.
Even though the Spirit Devouring Race had already been exterminated, Xiaoqian, who had once witnessed the Spirit Devouring Race's golden age, still felt a deep fear.
"Haha, Xiaoqian, don't be afraid. In fact, I still have to thank you. If it wasn't for you, my Spirit Devouring Race's Spirit Devouring Race's Spirit Devouring Art might have already disappeared from this world." Elder Cang said to Xiaoqian with a smile. He could feel Xiaoqian's nervousness at this moment.
"Thank you, Elder." After hearing Elder Cang's words, Xiaoqian's mood also became much more cheerful. Immediately after, she happily smiled and said.
"Xing Jue, have you practiced the Spirit Devouring Art before?" Immediately after, Elder Cang looked at Xing Jue and asked with a smile.
"Reporting to Elder, Young Master Xing Jue not only practiced the Spirit Devouring Art, but also relied on his shocking talent to break through to the level of Soul Healing."
"Actually, the two of us came here this time to help Young Master Xing Jue practice the Spirit Devouring Art."
"Now that Elder Cang is here, it's really great!" Before waiting for Xing Jue to reply, Xiaoqian said excitedly. Perhaps because Elder Cang did not blame her for stealing the Spirit Devouring Art, she was too happy and went a little overboard.
"You little girl." Elder Cang looked meaningfully at Xiaoqian and then said with a smile. Obviously, he was also not surprised that Xiaoqian actually knew the cultivation method of the Spirit Devouring Art.
"Xing Jue, from today onwards, this old man will guide you in practicing the Spirit Devouring Art. If you want to practice the Spirit Devouring Art well, it is not a simple matter. Although talent is very important, you also have to suffer. Are you prepared for this? "Elder Cang looked at Xing Jue and said meaningfully.
"Yes, as long as I can become stronger, I am willing to suffer any kind of hardship." But Xing Jue said decisively, his words full of confidence.
"Good, from tomorrow onwards, this old man will guide you in practicing the Spirit Devouring Art. Hahaha …" Seeing Xing Jue's attitude, Elder Cang was obviously very satisfied and then laughed.
The next morning, in the depths of the ancient mountain range, under Elder Cang's guidance, Xing Jue started to practice the Spirit Devouring Art.
"Xing Jue, the first thing you need to practice is Soul Defense. When fighting with others, a good defense is the best foundation. Now, mix your Soul Strength and Martial Qi together, then focus them on your chest." Elder Cang stood in front of Xing Jue and slowly said.
As for the execution, it hurriedly followed Elder Cang's instructions and began to be executed...
"Done?" Elder Cang asked.
"Yes." Xing Jue also hurriedly nodded and replied.
* bang * Just at that moment, Elder Cang suddenly extended his palm and without any warning, it struck Xing Jue's chest. The powerful Soul Strength directly sent Xing Jue flying. After landing on the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Obviously, he was heavily injured.
"Your defense isn't enough. Use Soul Healing to heal it. Come back after you're healed." Seeing Xing Jue spit out blood, Elder Cang's face didn't have the slightest bit of pity as he sternly said.
And Xing Jue also used his strength to wipe away the traces of blood at the corner of his mouth. Immediately after, he used Soul Healing and started to heal the injury on his chest.
After his injuries were healed, he came in front of Elder Cang and said to him, "Elder Cang, I'm ready."
* bang * Seeing Xing Jue stand properly again, Elder Cang did not hold back and struck out with his palm. Once again, Xing Jue was sent flying. But this time, it wasn't like before, where he spat out a large mouthful of blood. Instead, a small mouthful of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing that his defense actually had some effect, Xing Jue put even more effort into his training. This kind of self-harming training method started with a week. After a week, Xing Jue was finally able to resist a palm from Elder Cang without being heavily injured.
After that, Xing Jue started his attack training and body training. The training after that was harder and harder than the previous one. After three months of cruel training, Xing Jue finally completely grasped the three Soul Strength methods. All that was left was the last one, Spiritual Explosion.
In the following days, Elder Cang did not immediately let Xing Jue start the Spiritual Explosion training. Instead, he let Xing Jue concentrate on training his Martial Technique and break through to Wu Zun's level.
Xing Jue naturally followed Elder Cang's instructions and continuously trained his Martial Technique every day, absorbing the dense Martial Qi within the ancient mountain range. Under such training, one day after a month, Xing Jue finally broke through to Martial Master and reached the Wu Zun's level that he yearned for even in his dreams.
"I broke through, I broke through, haha, I broke through!" Xing Jue excitedly ran into the cave and excitedly said to Elder Cang and Xiaoqian who were chatting.
"En, not bad, it's a few days earlier than I expected." Seeing that Xing Jue had actually broken through to Wu Zun, Elder Cang also smiled as he said to Xing Jue. Immediately after, he once again brought Xing Jue back to the previous training place.
"Xing Jue, do you know why? Didn't I let you practice this' Spiritual Explosion 'before? "Elder Cang stood in front of Xing Jue and asked with a smile.
"I don't know, please enlighten me, Elder." Xing Jue also replied in a puzzled manner.
"Spiritual Explosion can be said to be the highest level of control over the soul within the Soul Devouring Art. As long as you successfully practice it, even if you were to instantly break through from Beginner Wu Zun to Middle Wu Zun, it would still be a very easy matter."
"But such a powerful technique, wanting to practice it is also extremely difficult. The difficulty of practicing it might even be several times harder than the sum of all the training you've done before. So before you reach Wu Zun, if you want to practice Spiritual Explosion, it is practically impossible." Elder Cang looked at Xing Jue and slowly explained.
Xing Jue also smiled and nodded, he naturally understood Elder Cang's intentions.
"Alright, Soul Eruption. It's actually a combination of what you've learned, soul defense, soul attack, and soul movement techniques. Try to use these three techniques at the same time." The old man slowly said to Xing Jue.
"Mhm." Xing Jue also nodded in reply and immediately followed Elder Cang's instructions. But after a while, he helplessly said: "That's too difficult, I can't do it."
"Haha, that's right. If you want to achieve the Spiritual Soul Explosion, your body must receive an extreme stimulation. Only then will you be able to unleash the Spiritual Soul Explosion. What comes next is what you have to endure." Elder Cang slowly said. As he spoke, he waved his sleeve, and a unique water jar appeared.
"Alright, go get a few buckets of water and fill this water jar up. Wake me up when it's full." Elder Cang said to Xing Jue with a smile. Then he immediately laid his butt on a nearby rock and went to sleep.
"It can't be? Training like this? Isn't this too easy? "Xing Jue muttered in a low voice. Then he walked in front of the strange water jar and stretched out his arms, tightly hugging the water jar.
"Rise!" Accompanied by a light shout, Xing Jue mobilized all the martial strength in his body. But what surprised Xing Jue was that the water jar didn't even move under his strength.
"Heavens, what kind of jar is this?" Xing Jue powerlessly sat on the ground. Looking at the water jar that didn't move an inch, he helplessly said. He originally wanted to directly carry the water jar to a place with water and then directly carry it back.
But he never imagined that this seemingly unremarkable water jar would actually be so heavy. Helpless, Xing Jue could only go to the cave to find two buckets and then run to the water source.
"Hehe …" Looking at Xing Jue running away with his tail between his legs, Elder Cang opened one of his eyes and glanced at Xing Jue before secretly laughing.
