"Plop, plop, plop."
One bucket, two buckets, three buckets, one hundred buckets, two hundred buckets, three hundred buckets. This seemingly small water jar actually took three hundred buckets of water before it was filled. Xing Jue had to run around for half a day before he finally completed this task.
"Huff, huff, huff." Xing Jue panted heavily and dragged his weak body to the old man's side. "Old Man, it's full."
"Yawn ~"
"Eh? Just filled? You're a bit slow. "The old man first yawned lazily and then smiled at Xing Jue.
But Xing Jue muttered in a voice that only he could hear, "Don't you know how much water this broken water jar can hold?"
"Take off your clothes and jump in." The old man looked at the filled water jar and said to Xing Jue.
And Xing Jue also followed the old man's instructions and quickly took off his clothes and jumped into the water jar. The water jar was very deep and Xing Jue had to stand up to barely keep his head above the water.
"Is it comfortable?" The old man smiled and asked Xing Jue.
"Yes, very comfortable." Xing Jue replied with a smile. After falling into the water jar, the exhaustion from the day had indeed decreased by a lot.
"Next, the training begins. You must be mentally prepared." The old man's expression suddenly became serious. Then he took out a small red bottle and said to Xing Jue.
"Later, I will drop this medicine into the water. The water will produce substances that will stimulate your skin. Let me warn you in advance, that feeling will be very painful."
"But only in that kind of situation can the power in the depths of your soul be stimulated. At that time, you must remain clear-headed."
"When you can endure the pain, then you can combine your soul defense, attack, and movement together."
"As for whether or not you can successfully cultivate this Spiritual Explosion, that will depend on your own luck." The old man slowly said to Xing Jue.
"Yes." Xing Jue hurriedly nodded his head. He was already mentally prepared for the difficulty of the Spiritual Explosion.
Under Xing Jue's narrowed gaze, the old man opened the cap of the red bottle. When the cap was opened, a thick cloud of smoke was emitted. Then, the old man turned his wrist and a stream of scarlet liquid flowed into the water jar.
When the liquid entered the water, it quickly spread out. Very quickly, the entire water jar turned bright red. Moreover, the surface of the water started to bubble.
The thing that caused Xing Jue to be unable to accept the most was that a heart-tearing and lung-splitting pain began to spread throughout his body as the medicinal liquid entered his body.
The pain was like countless needles piercing every cell in his body. It was also like someone was cutting his muscles with a knife. In short, the pain was unbearable for Xing Jue.
"Ah!" Finally unable to endure the heart-wrenching pain, Xing Jue howled loudly. Gradually, his vision started to blur and his head started to feel dizzy.
"Control your emotions and remain clear-headed." At this moment, the old man's voice suddenly rang out. It was like a muffled thunder, exploding beside Xing Jue's ears.
Xing Jue also instantly became clear-headed. Xing Jue gritted his teeth and repeatedly said to himself, "Xing Jue, you have to persevere. Persevere. Otherwise, you will never become an expert."
Under such perseverance, Xing Jue's face became extremely pale. Even his lips had turned purplish green.
Looking at Xing Jue who was suffering not far away, Xiaoqian actually shed a tear from the corner of her eye. Then, she whispered, "Master, you will definitely succeed."
As a servant of the Spirit Eater Clan, during their escape, Xiaoqian had seen many young masters undergo this kind of cruel training. However, almost none of them succeeded in this kind of training.
At the very least, in the group of young masters that they were escaping with, all of them had failed. Therefore, Xiaoqian knew very well how difficult it was to cultivate this Spiritual Explosion.
After enduring for an hour in the water jar, Xing Jue finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
Looking at the fainted Xing Jue, the old man's tensed face finally revealed a trace of sadness. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, Xing Jue was brought out of the water jar.
"Huff, huff, huff." Xing Jue's face was pale as he lay in the cave, panting heavily. Xiaoqian sat beside him, slowly feeding the medicinal soup in her hand into Xing Jue's mouth.
"Xing Jue, can you still hold on?" The old man slowly came to Xing Jue's side and asked.
"Yes." Xing Jue opened his trembling lips and replied without any hesitation.
"Mm. Rest well today. We'll continue tomorrow." Hearing Xing Jue's reply, the old man smiled in relief.
The next day, Xing Jue once again fell into the scarlet water jar. At the same time, that heart-wrenching pain came again.
Xing Jue forcefully clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, enduring the pain. What he needed to do was to persevere and maintain his consciousness in this pain. Even if he could only persevere for a little longer, it was still a kind of improvement.
In the following days, Xing Jue would soak in the water jar every day until he fainted. Only then would the old man pull him out and let Xiaoqian feed Xing Jue the medicinal soup.
After that painful torture, Xing Jue's body was almost paralyzed, so he couldn't use his soul to heal himself. Thus, the old man specially made a kind of medicinal soup for Xing Jue that could quickly recover his body.
And this kind of self-harming training, Xing Jue forcefully endured for two months. After two months, Xing Jue could finally maintain his consciousness in the scarlet water and not faint. And this wasn't because the power of the scarlet water had weakened, but because Xing Jue's endurance was increasing.
Xing Jue stood in the water jar with his eyes closed. What he needed to do now was to control the soul power in his body and release the power of defense, attack, and movement at the same time. But this was extremely difficult.
But under Xing Jue's hard work, he finally gradually grasped a bit of the trick. He discovered that these three kinds of power could indeed be used at the same time, but the process was much more complicated.
In order to quickly cultivate his soul to erupt, Xing Jue would soak in the water jar for half a day every day before he was willing to stop.
And after a month of this kind of training, he finally had a breakthrough.
On this day, Xing Jue was soaking in the water jar as usual. But the current Xing Jue was much calmer compared to two months ago. It was as if he was standing in ordinary water.
Although he looked calm on the surface, the dark black soul power in Xing Jue's body was circulating at an extremely fast speed. As it circulated, even his muscles and blood vessels would expand and contract. Every part of his body was changing.
"Bang!" Suddenly, the soul power in Xing Jue's body surged out. In the end, it was like a rising flame that wrapped around the surface of Xing Jue's body.
And under the wrapping of this soul power, Xing Jue's power actually started to gradually rise. Even his body started to slowly rise, and in the end, he even left the water jar.
"Success! Master has succeeded! Elder Cang, quickly come and see! "Xiaoqian looked at Xing Jue and excitedly shouted.
And after hearing Xiaoqian's shout, Elder Cang also hurriedly rushed out.
Looking at the dark black soul that was floating in midair, like a burning flame, slowly rising on the surface of Xing Jue's body. An excited smile also appeared on Elder Cang's face.
"Xing Jue, withdraw the soul into your body!" Elder Cang suddenly shouted.
And after hearing Elder Cang's reminder, Xing Jue also hurriedly withdrew the rising flame into his body. And when the dark black soul power entered his body, Xing Jue's power instantly rose, and in the end, he actually broke through to the middle class Wu Zun level.
Xing Jue did a beautiful somersault in midair and steadily landed on the ground. Then, feeling the power in his body, he smiled and said to Elder Cang, "Elder Cang, receive a punch from me."
Immediately after, he punched out, and a Martial Qi that was several times stronger than before surged out, explosively exploding towards Elder Cang.
"Good!" Seeing Xing Jue's willful actions, Elder Cang laughed loudly and said.
Elder Cang waved his sleeve, and a Soul power that was not inferior to Xing Jue's Martial Qi also surged out, and in the end, fiercely collided with Xing Jue's Martial Qi.
"Bang!" When the two collided, a frightening energy ripple was created.
"It's not over yet!" Seeing that his attack had been dissolved, Xing Jue laughed heartily, and then immediately threw out a few more punches. Elder Cang did not refuse.
Old Man Cang did not reject it. Numerous Spiritual Strength surged out from his sleeves and collided with the Martial Qi emitted from the Punishment Technique.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
In the depths of the ancient mountain range, explosions continuously rang out, and the nearby Magical Beasts were so frightened that they fled far away.
"Xing Jue, do you really want to return to Yufeng Pavilion?" Within the cave, Elder Cang asked with some confusion.
After Xing Jue had successfully cultivated his Soul Eruption, he had told Elder Cang and Xiaoqian that he was preparing to return to Yufeng Pavilion. But Elder Cang wanted Xing Jue to stay by his side. With him guiding Xing Jue's cultivation, Xing Jue's growth would also be a bit faster.
"Yes, I must return." Xing Jue said decisively.
After a moment of silence, Elder Cang slowly said, "Ah … alright then. After you reach the Martial God level, return here. I have something to discuss with you."
"Yes, this junior understands." Xing Jue also respectfully said. He could see that Elder Cang valued him.
The next day, under Elder Cang's insistence, Xing Jue was escorted to the outskirts of the ancient mountain range by Elder Cang and Xiaoqian before he left alone.
Elder Cang and Xiaoqian stood on a mountain peak in the outskirts of the ancient mountain range, quietly watching Xing Jue's figure gradually disappear into the distance. Elder Cang had a gratified smile on his face.
Even after Xing Jue's figure had completely disappeared, Elder Cang was still unwilling to turn around and leave. Xiaoqian also silently accompanied Elder Cang.
After a long time, Elder Cang turned around and handed Xiaoqian a piece of paper and slowly said, "Xiaoqian, because I am a soul body, it is not convenient for me to move around. I will leave these things to you to find."
"Elder Cang, you cannot do this. That soul is the foundation of your life, if …" But Xiaoqian was greatly shocked after receiving the paper. That was because there were some extremely precious medicinal herbs and gems recorded on it. Xiaoqian also knew the use of these medicinal herbs, and that was to refine the soul.
But before Xiaoqian could finish her words, Elder Cang waved his hand and stopped her. Then he said, "Xing Jue is the only hope of my Spirit Eater Clan. In order for him to grow faster, this old man's life is not important. Do as I say."
After saying these words, Elder Cang no longer listened to Xiaoqian and directly walked towards the depths of the ancient mountain range.
Looking at the gradually disappearing figure, Xiaoqian also bit her lips. Then she put the paper away and flew towards the outskirts of the ancient mountain range, beginning her journey to find those heavenly treasures.
