Speaking of which, although both methods could increase one's strength, they each had their own advantages and disadvantages.
The Soul Refining Technique was more advanced and more powerful, but it consumed a lot of spiritual power and could not be used for a long time.
Although absorbing the Soul Source could not unleash all the power of the Soul Source in the Soul Pearl and would even consume the Soul Source, this method consumed very little spiritual energy.
Relatively speaking, if one had enough Soul Source, it would be better to use this method in order to fight for a long time.
Therefore, Chen Hongyuan planned to do so. Perhaps in the eyes of others, it seemed very stupid for him to do so.
However, was he really that stupid? How could he not understand the logic that everyone understood?
Obviously not!
The Soul Refining Technique was indeed very powerful and had a lot of advantages, but it was not suitable for him right now.
This was because he wanted to show off his strength in front of the Chen family. Everyone already knew that he had comprehended the Soul Refining Technique. If he used the Soul Refining Technique to defeat Chen Hongxing, no one would think much of it. They might even think that it was natural.
In that case, he had to defeat Chen Hongxing without using the Soul Refining Technique.
Of course, there was a more important reason for this, and that was to be prepared!
He realized that perhaps because his strength had increased too quickly, he had underestimated Chen Hongxing. Now that he had even comprehended the Soul Refining Technique, what if he had more tricks up his sleeves?
If he were to use the Soul Refining Technique now, it would consume too much of his spiritual power. Wouldn't that mean that all his efforts would be in vain?
Furthermore, this duel was too important to him, so even if Chen Hongxing's strength was not as good as his, he could not underestimate his opponent.
Furthermore, he might not be able to determine Chen Hongxing's strength right now, so it was better to be cautious.
At this moment, as Chen Hongyuan absorbed more and more Soul Sources, the aura coming from his body became stronger and stronger.
"I'm really courting death, how dare I continue to absorb!" However, when Chen Hongxing saw that this guy had not stopped absorbing the Soul Source, he started to feel conflicted.
On one hand, he hoped that Chen Hongyuan could absorb more Soul Source. This way, the Soul Source in his Soul Pearl would become weaker and weaker.
But on the other hand, he felt that Chen Hongyuan's aura was becoming stronger and stronger, which made him feel uneasy. He was afraid that this guy's aura would become stronger and stronger, to the point that it would not lose to him.
However, he felt that this was unlikely. After all, the Soul Refining Technique could gather all the Soul Sources in the Soul Pearl. It was impossible to directly absorb the Soul Sources.
Therefore, logically speaking, no matter how much Chen Hongyuan absorbed the Soul Source in this way, it would not be able to compare to his strength.
In this case, letting him absorb more and more Soul Sources was equivalent to letting him consume more and more Soul Sources. At that time, even if he used the Soul Refining Technique again and gathered all the power of the Soul Source, he still wouldn't be a match for him.
However, all of this was under normal circumstances because Chen Hongyuan's aura had already made him feel threatened.
"Did this guy absorb all the Soul Sources? How is that possible? "Chen Hongxing was at a loss. He couldn't help but want to rush forward.
Could it be that this guy didn't want to use the Soul Refining Technique anymore? It actually absorbed so many Soul Sources?
"I really don't understand this Hongyuan kid anymore. If this goes on, he will lose at least half of his Soul Sources. Is he crazy?" Chen Hongning did not become satisfied because Chen Hongyuan's aura had become stronger. Instead, he became even more complacent.
He felt that Chen Hongyuan was not considering the consequences. If he continued to absorb like this, his loss would be very big. Even if he used the Soul Refining Technique, it would be useless because the power of the Soul Sources was insufficient.
"Perhaps, he has his own ideas?" Chen Tianxing also didn't know why Chen Hongyuan, who had always been smart and steady, would do such a stupid thing at this critical moment.
"Even if he has his own ideas, he can't be so wasteful. Does he really think that his Soul Sources have reached saturation?" Chen Hongning said.
"Since Yuan 'er came back, I can't see through him. Old Ancestor, do you think that he has really reached the state of Soul Sources saturation?" Chen Tianxing thought about it and said.
"How is that possible? With the current state of the Soul Sources in the Cultivation World, it is impossible to make the Soul Sources saturation. Don't you even know this? "Chen Hongning said with some dissatisfaction.
"The Cultivation World does not have enough Soul Sources to make him saturation, but wasn't he trapped in the Dark Nether Realm when he was training? Do you think he would have saturated the Soul Sources at that time? "Chen Tianxing said.
"If he has been in the Dark Nether Realm, it is indeed possible, but don't forget. At that time, he was only at the Spirit Severing Stage. Can the capacity of the Soul Orb of the Spirit Severing Stage be the same as that of the late Dacheng Stage?
Even if his Soul Orb reached saturation when he was at the Spirit Severing Stage, he is now at the late Dacheng Stage. That little bit of Soul Sources has not even reached half of the capacity of the current Soul Orb. How can it be saturation? "
"Also, unless he collected enough Soul Sources in the past, then it would be more or less the same now!" Chen Tianxing said.
"This kid is simply crazy. It is impossible for his Soul Sources to be saturation. If he is in such a state, I really have to reconsider the succession of the Patriarch's position! "Chen Hongning said with a frown.
"Ancestor, haven't we already discussed it? Moreover, we still have to get Cheng Yu's formation. If we change the successor, I am afraid it is not appropriate! "Chen Tianxing said.
If there is no Cheng Yu, it does not matter to him which son inherits the position of Patriarch.
But because of Cheng Yu's existence, he has no choice but to be more biased towards Chen Hongyuan, and this is also related to his future in the back mountain.
If Chen Hongyuan does not get the position of Patriarch, then it is impossible for Cheng Yu to give the Chen Family any more formations. In that case, the rise of the Chen Family will not be so effective.
The rise of the Chen Family is no longer possible. Will Chen Hongning really give him pointers? I am afraid that this is just an excuse to protect his face. When the time comes, he will stay in the back mountain without the guidance of the Ancestor. Isn't that the same as being imprisoned?
On the other hand, if the Chen Family under the leadership of Chen Hongyuan and with the help of Cheng Yu, Chen Hongning will definitely be very happy.
If he is happy, then wouldn't it be easy to give him pointers?
Therefore, he only hopes that Chen Hongyuan will inherit the position of Patriarch as soon as possible so that he can solve this matter with ease.
Otherwise, who knows what kind of changes will happen?
