Even the elders of the Chen Family, and even Chen Hongning, couldn't understand what was going on, let alone him.
Many years ago, the Cultivation World had plenty of Soul Sources, so the Chen Family was very powerful at that time. At that time, the Chen Family also had a lot of Soul Refiners.
However, soul sources were extremely rare in the cultivation world, so very few Soul Refiners would do what Chen Hongyuan did. This was indeed a huge waste.
"Didn't you say that Hongyuan also comprehended the Soul Refining Technique? Why is he absorbing the power of soul sources? "Chen Hongning asked with a frown.
As a Soul Refiner, he should know how precious soul sources were. Especially in this era, soul sources were even more precious than resources, because the stronger the soul source, the stronger the soul orb.
The stronger the soul orb, the stronger the soul orb.
If Chen Hongyuan had so many soul sources, he could directly use the Soul Refining Technique. Although it would consume a lot of spirit power, it would at least not affect the power of the soul orb.
This was also the reason why Chen Hongxing did not use this move. Instead, he skipped over and used the Soul Refining Technique.
If Chen Hongyuan had not comprehended the Soul Refining Technique, it would be understandable for him to use this move. However, since he had comprehended the Soul Refining Technique, he could use it, so there was no need to waste it.
"This … I don't really understand either, but he has indeed comprehended the Soul Refining Technique. Otherwise, he would not have been able to get fourth place in the Nine Clans Tournament," Chen Tianxing said helplessly.
In his heart, Chen Hongyuan had always been a very smart person, so it was impossible for him not to know this. After all, every Soul Refiner knew this.
Not every Soul Refiner could comprehend the Soul Refining Technique, so those who did not comprehend the Soul Refining Technique would use this method to increase their fighting strength.
This was because the threshold for using this method was low, and any Soul Refiner could use it. Moreover, even if the soul source in a soul orb was not very strong, one could absorb the power of the soul source inside and more or less increase one's power.
However, not everyone knew the Soul Refining Technique, or else it would not be considered a secret technique of Soul Refiners.
For any Soul Refiner, if they had comprehended the Soul Refinement Technique, they would probably choose to use it in battle instead of directly consuming their Soul Source.
Because the soul source was limited, it would be gone once it was used up.
"If that's the case, then what he did was really a mistake. It was not easy to obtain the Soul Source, so how could he let it go to waste like this? Or does he want to show off that he can defeat his opponent even without using the Soul Refining Technique? Chen Hongning was a little disappointed with Chen Hongyuan on this point.
He felt that Chen Hongyuan really shouldn't have done this. He felt that since Chen Hongyuan clearly knew the Soul Refining Technique but didn't use it, it was clear that he wanted to show off in front of him and gain his favor.
After all, compared to the Soul Refinement Technique, Chen Hongyuan's current method of directly absorbing the Soul Source was obviously much more inferior. Moreover, it was simply on a different level of power.
Although the Soul Refining Technique and the Soul Source Absorption Technique could fuse the power of the Soul Source, the method was different.
The Soul Refining Technique could fuse all the power of the Soul Source together, and it would not disappear, but it would consume a large amount of spiritual power.
However, if one were to directly absorb the Soul Essence, although the power would fuse with the body, it would be impossible to absorb all of the Soul Essence's power. Only the weaker Soul Essence's power could be absorbed.
Moreover, after absorbing these Soul Essences, they would all be consumed, so it was obvious who was strong and who was weak.
So now in Chen Hongning's view, Chen Hongyuan wanted to show off his strength in front of him, and at the same time, let the Chen family recognize him as the new patriarch.
Although it was indeed possible to do this, how many Soul Essences could be wasted like this?
Unless the Soul Essence in Chen Hongyuan's current Soul Pearl had temporarily reached its peak and could not accommodate any more Soul Essences.
If this was the case, then it didn't matter if he used this method.
But, was this possible?
Even for him, it was very difficult for him to cap the Soul Origin Power in his Soul Pearl. Of course, their strength was not the same, so the Soul Essence that could be contained in the Soul Pearl was naturally not the same.
However, even though their Soul Orbs contained different amounts of Soul Origin Energy, it was almost impossible for any Soul Master to reach the limit of the Soul Origin Energy in their Soul Orbs.
Unless you found a Soul Nest, there were countless Soul Essences for you to absorb into the Soul Pearl.
But now the Cultivation World itself was very scarce for Soul Essences, where would there be so many Soul Essences for you to absorb?
As far as he knew, he was afraid that only the Dark Nether Realm had so many Ghost Cultivators to supplement the Soul Essence in the Soul Pearl with Soul Essence.
However, the Dark Nether Realm was not a place that could be entered by anyone. Even these old ancestors could not casually open the door to the Dark Nether Realm.
Even if it was opened, it could only allow disciples with the strength of the Spirit Severing Stage to enter. If the strength exceeded this realm, they would not be able to support the transmission of the disciples.
In particular, it took three hundred years to open the entrance once. Therefore, it was almost impossible to enter the Dark Nether Realm to collect Soul Essences.
And even if the Spirit Severing Stage disciples entered the Dark Nether Realm, how many Ghost Cultivators could they collect?
After all, the strength of the Ghost Cultivators was also strong and weak. For example, the strength of the Dark Nether Realm's World King was similar to them. Of course, even if they entered the Dark Nether Realm, it was impossible for them to meet the World King.
However, the strength of the Ghost Cultivators that the Spirit Severing Stage could hunt was also extremely limited. At most, it was a Ghost Emissary that was similar to the Spirit Severing Stage. The lower the strength of the Ghost Cultivator, the lower the strength of the Soul Essences obtained.
If they wanted to bring these Ghost Cultivators back to a Late Dacheng Stage Soul Refiner Master and let the Soul Essences in his Soul Pearl be capped, no matter how many Spirit Severing Stage disciples entered the Dark Nether Realm to help Chen Hongyuan collect the Soul Essences, it would be impossible.
Unless he ran to the Dark Nether Realm and destroyed the nest of the Ghost Cultivators!
Therefore, Chen Hongning would never believe that the Soul Essences in Chen Hongyuan's Soul Pearl had been capped.
"Stupid! I didn't expect you to defeat me like this, it's ridiculous! " On the main battle platform, Chen Hongxing saw that Chen Hongyuan's momentum was constantly increasing, but he was not surprised.
Because Chen Hongyuan's method was really stupid. If there was such a convenient and simple way to improve his strength, would he not use it?
And why didn't he use it, but he still used the Soul Refining Technique that he had just comprehended?
Because the drawbacks of this method were too big, it was not worth it. When he was competing with the Chen Family, his father gave him all the Ghost Souls that he had hunted, which allowed the Soul Essences in his Soul Pearl to improve rapidly.
But even so, he felt that these Soul Essences were very precious and he did not dare to consume them easily.
