The ten-sided floor was surrounded by ten walls, and the ten blue flames returned to the lamps, burning quietly as if they were unaware of the passage of time.
The nine people who had been thrown into the corner were already scared out of their wits.
It couldn't be helped. The battle between Chen Zong and Venerable Xie Luo was at the Saint Realm level, and the ground was small. The terrifying aura had directly suppressed the nine of them to death.
This was the difference in strength.
The aura of a Saint Realm master alone could crush a Transcendent to death.
As for Yang Lin, he was also dead.
Chen Zong sat cross-legged in peace, constantly absorbing the memories from Venerable Xie Luo.
After absorbing the Great Abyss King's remnant soul and memories, this time was no pressure at all. It was a walk in the park.
It didn't take long for Chen Zong to absorb part of Venerable Xie Luo's memories. As for the rest of the memories, he dealt with them the same way as when he absorbed the Great Abyss King's memories.
For example, if Venerable Xie Luo saw something or encountered something, it would automatically appear. This way, he could save time and reduce his burden.
After all, Venerable Xie Luo was a Saint Realm master from Gui Xuan Upper Territory five thousand years ago. He had lived for more than two thousand years, so his memories were vast and complex.
After absorbing all of Venerable Xie Luo's memories, Chen Zong learned everything about him.
Venerable Xie Luo was born in Gui Xuan Upper Territory and was the leader of a Sect. However, after his Sect was destroyed, he fled to Qing Tian Territory. He was a Seventh Heaven Saint Realm master when he was alive. In addition to his powerful Qi Refining cultivation, he also had great attainments in the soul because of a fortuitous encounter.
Venerable Xie Luo's soul cultivation method was called the Ten Directions Demonic Refining Technique. Chen Zong pondered after examining it.
The Ten Directions Demonic Refining Technique was a rather evil cultivation method. It could absorb and devour the souls of living beings and refine them into one's own soul, thereby increasing the strength of one's soul.
To Chen Zong, Cultivation Methods and Martial Arts didn't matter if they were evil or not. What mattered was the human heart.
A righteous Cultivation Method or Martial Art that cultivated one's heart to commit evil was evil.
A Demonic Cultivation Method or Martial Art that cultivated one didn't commit evil, but instead did good deeds. That was righteous.
Regardless, the Ten Directions Demonic Refining Technique absorbed and refined the souls of others to improve oneself. It was indeed not a righteous cultivation method.
However, Chen Zong had never been afraid of such things. Otherwise, he wouldn't have modified the Blood Refining Technique in the Deep Blue World to refine blood essence into beads for himself to refine and absorb to increase his body refining cultivation.
Of course, Chen Zong would not kill the innocent.
Ignoring everything else, Chen Zong began to comprehend the Ten Directions Evil Refining Technique.
........................
The Evil Omnidirectional Refining Technique was very intricate, but that was only relatively speaking. With Chen Zong's powerful soul and Honorable Xie Luo's cultivation memories, he quickly grasped the mysteries of the Evil Omnidirectional Refining Technique.
......................................
. In fact.. Chen Zong had always been worried about something.
After absorbing the remnant soul of the Great Abyss King and Honorable Xie Luo's soul, his own soul power had increased tremendously. He had also obtained various memories of the two, but at the same time, he had also obtained some of their mixed thoughts.
Chen Zong's soul was very strong now. He could suppress it with his own soul power. But no one could guarantee that it wouldn't explode in the future.
The Ten Directions Demonic Refining Technique could refine it and eliminate it to prevent future troubles.
The Ten Directions Demonic Refining Technique was activated. Chen Zong felt strands of soul power seeping out from his liquefied soul. Then, they condensed into ten strands and spread out in ten directions. They turned into purple flames and burned silently.
The Ten Directions Demonic Refining Technique was to transform one's soul power into soul fire and set up the Ten Directions Demonic Refining Formation to refine the soul.
What Chen Zong needed to do now was to refine his soul and get rid of the impurities that didn't belong to him.
The Ten Directions Evil Refining Formation started to operate, and the ten purple flames burned fiercely. The purple flames expanded and spread out in an instant. Following that, the formation started to rotate faster and faster. The ten purple flames seemed to have disappeared and turned into ten purple fire dragons that shuttled back and forth.
Every time he traveled, Chen Zong would have a strange feeling. It was as if his soul was being penetrated by some kind of power. This power was invisible and intangible, but it was real. It seemed to be incomparably hot and also extremely cold.
Every time he was pierced through, Chen Zong would feel an indescribable tearing pain in his soul. However, before this pain could spread out completely, an indescribable sense of comfort would spread out.
Cold and hot!
Pain and comfort!
Heaviness and ease!
All kinds of contradictions and opposites appeared. Chen Zong couldn't tell what kind of feeling he was having.
It was like torture, but it was also like enjoyment. Pain and pleasure.
Time passed slowly. After an unknown amount of time, the Ten Directions Demonic Refining Formation came to a stop.
The ten purple soul fires disintegrated into soul power and returned to his soul. Suddenly, an indescribable sense of ease spread out from the depths of his soul.
It was as if he had let go of his heavy revenge and let go of his obsession. He was at ease and relaxed, as if he was riding the wind and controlling the Nine Heavens.
"I've finally refined and eliminated all the impurities." A smile appeared on Chen Zong's face. This feeling was really good.
In the next moment, a whirlpool appeared in the middle of his soul. Slowly, a pure purple flame rose silently. It floated above his liquefied soul and burned slowly. This burning seemed to last forever. It didn't deplete his soul power. Instead, it purified his soul bit by bit and formed a protective layer for his soul.
Even though he didn't obtain any Heavenly Rare Flames and couldn't upgrade the Purple Cloud Black Star Flame, absorbing Honorable Xie Luo's soul had brought great benefits to Chen Zong.
Yang Lin didn't know about the Heavenly Rare Flames in the Yin Flame Ancient Tomb. It was just an excuse given by Honorable Xie Luo to attract people to enter the tomb for him to refine and absorb.
Therefore, the Heavenly Rare Flames that Yang Lin mentioned were actually the soul fires that Honorable Xie Luo had refined using the Ten Directions Demonic Refining Technique.
The soul fires refined using the Ten Directions Demonic Refining Technique were also divided into different grades.
For example, Honorable Xie Luo's Soulfire was a faint green with a hint of grey, while Chen Zong's Soulfire was a faint purple. It was a pure purple with a kind of nobility, a kind of profound mystery, and a kind of boundless depth.
According to the Ten Directions Demonic Refining Technique that Honorable Xie Luo had obtained, Chen Zong knew that his soul fire was of a higher grade than Honorable Xie Luo's soul fire.
Grey soul fire was of the lowest grade, green soul fire was of the middle grade, and purple soul fire was of the upper grade.
Honorable Xie Luo's soul fire was green with a hint of grey. Although it was very small, it showed that Honorable Xie Luo's soul fire was of the lower grade among the middle grade.
Chen Zong's soul fire was pure purple. It even emitted a divine light from within. This meant that Chen Zong's soul fire was of the highest grade among the upper grade purple soul fires.
If one were to carefully divide the soul fires, they could be divided into lower grade, middle grade, middle grade, upper grade, upper grade, and upper grade.
In that case, the Soul Fire that Chen Zong had condensed at this moment was of the Upper Grade.
However, in Honorable Xie Luo's memories, upper grade soul fire wasn't the highest grade. There were higher grade soul fires, but Honorable Xie Luo wasn't sure what they were like.
Chen Zong didn't mind. It wasn't bad to have an upper grade soul fire.
The stronger and higher the soul fire, the greater the potential of the soul. It would also be faster, purer, and more efficient in refining distracting thoughts.
The Soul Fire, deep and divine, was burning and consuming, as if it was eternal. Below it was liquefied souls, like an ocean.
According to Honorable Xie Luo's memories, this was also called the Sea of the Soul. It was a realm of the Path of the Soul.
The Path of the Soul could be divided into the First Light of the Soul, the Qi of the Soul, the Sea of the Soul, and the Core of the Soul.
The First Light of the Soul was the lowest level. It was when an ordinary soul started cultivating and gave birth to the first ray of Soul Light. Only then could one be qualified to cultivate the Path of the Soul.
If one couldn't awaken the First Light of the Soul, they wouldn't have the talent to cultivate the soul.
After the First Light of the Soul, the next step was the Qi of the Soul.
Ordinary souls didn't have any color. They couldn't be seen or touched, and they didn't have any form. However, once the Qi of the Soul was formed, the power of the soul would turn into wisps of Qi of the Soul and permeate the depths of one's mind. At this moment, the soul would surpass that of an ordinary person.
Chen Zong's soul was already at the Qi of the Soul.
The next step was to form the Sea of the Soul. This was a transformation from a gaseous state to a liquid state. It was like condensing water vapor into raindrops.
The power of the Soul contained in the Sea of the Soul was tens or hundreds of times greater.
In this way, one's power of understanding and perception would be further enhanced.
However, the enhancement of power of understanding and perception was only incidental. It wasn't everything. Some people had a huge enhancement, while others didn't.
For example, some people's power of understanding was average. Even if their soul was enhanced, their power of understanding wouldn't increase by much. However, some people's power of understanding was higher, so the enhancement of their soul would be greater.
Chen Zong was the latter.
Of course, if one took a step back, the power of understanding of the Path of the Soul wouldn't be too bad.
There was no difference in the First Light of the Soul. However, from the Qi of the Soul, there were initial, middle, late, and peak stages. Originally, Chen Zong was at the middle stage of the Soul of the Soul. After absorbing and refining Honorable Xie Luo's soul, he reached the late stage.
According to Honorable Xie Luo's memories, there were very, very few cultivators of the Path of the Soul. It was a million times rarer than the Path of the Body. This was because it was more difficult to cultivate than the Path of the Body. It relied more on talent than the Path of the Qi of the Body.
