Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Zong stepped into the Dragon Flame Cave and left the Dragon Flame Peak. He flew towards the Furnace Peak where the Tribulation Divine Flame Furnace was located.
The appearance of Oven Peak was like a huge oven that stood on the Divine Flame Mountain. It was formed naturally, and there were no traces of human activity. It was very suitable for the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Flame Oven.
Chen Zong did not know much about the rules of the Divine Flame Mountain. Hence, he did not think too much about it.
In front of him was a huge furnace that was a hundred meters tall. Its four legs stood straight on the ground. The entire furnace was pitch-black, but its surface was covered with crimson lines. They were irregular and looked like magma was contained within. It was shining brightly and gave off an astonishingly vigorous and scorching aura.
Just standing in front of the furnace, Chen Zong felt very small. It was as if he was facing a terrifying expert.
Fortunately, it was not an enemy.
Of course, the Tribulation Divine Flame Furnace was not a person. It was just a treasure.
The furnace opened and Chen Zong stepped into it.
"You only have one day. Cherish it," the elder who was guarding the furnace said expressionlessly. However, he was mocking him in his heart.
There was not much energy left in the Tribulation Divine Flame Furnace. It was not enough to support a person's cultivation. At most, it could only support half of it. The effect would not be as good as that of the previous three people.
Of course, he did not know that. However, the Tribulation Divine Flame Furnace was the number one treasure of the Tribulation Divine Flame Mountain. Most disciples of the Tribulation Divine Flame Mountain would not have the chance to enter it even once in their lives. It was already a great fortune for an outsider and a disciple of another force to enter. How could he expect more?
Chen Zong did not know about the dirty thoughts of the expressionless elder. He stepped into the furnace.
There seemed to be a series of rumbling sounds that continuously came from all directions, directly penetrating into Chen Zong's eardrums, causing the Divine Sense Sea to rumble endlessly. Flames rushed out from all directions, like the roar of a fire dragon.
The incomparably scorching high temperature continuously attacked Chen Zong from all directions. It was as if it wanted to refine Chen Zong like a pill.
Alchemy!
This was the function of the furnace. It refined a person like a medicinal pill, removed impurities, and broke through the shackles and limits. This was the function of the Myriad Tribulation Divine Flame Furnace.
However, that wasn't Chen Zong's purpose. He wanted to break through his cultivation and realm here. He wanted to borrow the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Flame Furnace's other function, which was usually overlooked by the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Flame Mountain: to protect the soul.
The flames of the cauldron contained a flame that targeted the soul. This flame would temper the soul, allowing the soul to condense faster and smoother. This was an invisible form of tempering, so it was secondary to the disciples of the Divine Flames Mountain.
But for Chen Zong, it was very important.
Under the scorching heat, Chen Zong was neither melted nor scorched. He sat down cross-legged, adjusting his condition and regulating his spirit.
When his Essence, Energy, and Spirit reached their peak, Chen Zong began to break through.
This time, Chen Zong had thought it through. He didn't want to give up on refining his body. Therefore, he wanted to break through Qi Refining and Body Refining at the same time. Only in this way could he maintain his advantage and have a stronger combat capability.
Then, how could he break through Qi Refining and Body Refining at the same time?
After all, the breakthroughs of the two were in different directions.
Qi Cultivation was to condense a Primordial Spirit to guard the Spirit Sea, dominate the Spirit Sea, and control the body. Qi Cultivation was to shatter the Primordial Spirit and scatter it into the body, completely fusing it with the body, becoming one.
The first was to condense!
The second was to scatter!
Condense and scatter were the opposite of fire and water.
Then, how could Chen Zong cultivate Qi Refining and Body Refining at the same time so that they could advance at the same time and break through at the same time?
On this point, Chen Zong had already thought it through.
Before this, Chen Zong had been consciously tempering his spirit. Although he hadn't broken through the limit, he had become more condensed.
Now, it was time to split.
Split!
Split his Divine Soul into two. When it was split into two, his spirit would also be split into two. Just nice, he could condense two Primordial Spirits. One Primordial Spirit would be used for Qi Refining and the other for Body Refining. This was the feasible method that Chen Zong finally came up with after much consideration.
Moreover, Chen Zong had gone through many deductions and the success rate was very high.
Of course, although the success rate was very high, the process was not easy. At least, Chen Zong had experienced the pain of splitting his Divine Soul in two before. That was, when he condensed the Asura doppelganger.
However, when he condensed the Asura doppelganger, he really did split his Divine Soul in half, causing his own Divine Soul to be damaged. Fortunately, the Ancient Asura King's Divine Soul made up for it.
This time, however, it was different. The Divine Soul was divided into two in order to condense two Primordial Spirits. When one of the Primordial Spirits was broken up and perfectly combined with the Divine Body, the Divine Soul would condense again in the Divine Sea and become the carrier of the consciousness. Otherwise, the Body Refining Cultivator would become a person without a Divine Soul. That would be the same as a living dead. They would have a body without a corresponding soul to use and would have no consciousness.
When the Primordial Spirit was scattered and perfectly combined with the Divine Body, the Divine Body would reach the Profound Realm from the Initial Success. The Divine Soul would then recondense in the Spirit Sea to carry the Divine Body's consciousness and control the Profound Realm Divine Body.
However, the power of the recondensed Divine Soul couldn't be compared with the previous Divine Soul. After all, most of the Divine Soul's power was integrated into the Divine Body, leaving only a small part of the Divine Soul's power on the Divine Soul as the foundation to maintain the Divine Soul. That was all.
Therefore, a Body Refining Cultivator's Divine Soul defense was often inferior to a Qi Refining Cultivator. Their advantage lay in the strength of their Divine Bodies. Each had its own merits.
However, if he could obtain treasures that were beneficial to the Divine Soul, there was still hope for his Divine Soul to recover. In other words, if Chen Zong succeeded in breaking through both Qi Refining Cultivator and Body Refining Cultivator, the next step would be to find treasures that were useful for the recovery of the Divine Soul.
However, those treasures were very precious and hard to come by. It wouldn't be easy to obtain them.
Everything had been thought through. Everything had been prepared.
He began to split his Divine Soul.
The Heart Sword Principle condensed into a long sword. Without hesitation, it released the most shocking sharpness. It seemed to tear the void apart and slashed directly at his Divine Soul.
In an instant, an indescribable pain exploded, driving Chen Zong crazy.
His Divine Soul was thus split into two equal halves.
The pain was about to destroy Chen Zong's consciousness. Chen Zong sank into darkness and into an abyss, unable to think.
However, Chen Zong managed to hold it in. He managed to hold it in with his extremely strong and tenacious spiritual willpower. His powerful mind also played a role.
Enduring the extreme pain, Chen Zong's consciousness also split into two.
Fortunately, Chen Zong had cultivated the Heart Sutra. He could use the Heart Two Wills very smoothly. As a result, it was extremely easy for Chen Zong to control the two halves of his consciousness at the same time. Even under the intense pain of his Divine Soul being split into two, he could still control it with ease.
The two halves of his consciousness were immediately controlled by Chen Zong's consciousness and began to condense.
At the same time, the Taichu Sword Origin and Divine Body power were also mobilized. Even the power of the Heart Sword Principle and the power of the Great Path of the World began to converge.
Divine Soul!
It was the gathering of everything in one's body. One had to gather and condense everything in one's body.
The Divine Soul, Essence, Qi, Cultivation power, Great Path power, and everything else had to be condensed into one, leaving behind an imprint and completely controlled.
Therefore, Yuan Underworld powerhouses' control of their own power would reach an astonishing level even if they didn't deliberately train.
After all, after condensing a Divine Soul, the control of one's own power would become an instinct.
In a situation where no one else knew, Chen Zong was undergoing an incomparably crazy breakthrough.
He was breaking through at the same time in both Qi Refinement and Body Refinement.
When advancing from the Demigod Realm to the Dao Manipulation Realm, the simultaneous breakthrough of both would attract a Heavenly Tribulation. This was already considered crazy, but what Chen Zong was doing now was even crazier.
Splitting one's Divine Soul into two was already quite dangerous. The slightest carelessness and failure would result in damage to one's Divine Soul.
Fortunately, Chen Zong succeeded.
Splitting one's Divine Soul into two was just the beginning. He still had to endure the extreme pain of having his Divine Soul split into two and control all of his own power, combining it in an orderly manner and condensing it into a Divine Soul.
A Divine Soul wasn't something that could be condensed casually. There needed to be a sequence.
A Divine Soul was like an evolution of one's own body. It was a miniature version with the same appearance as oneself. Therefore, it had to have a perfect structure.
With the Divine Soul as the Divine Soul, the Essence, Qi, and Spirit as the Divine Soul's body, the Great Path power as the Divine Soul's blood, and the Great Path power as the Divine Soul's bones, a complete Divine Soul would be forged.
There would be a Divine Soul, a body, blood, bones, and so on.
Of course, a Divine Soul was a collection of power. There was no such thing as blood, bones, organs, and so on. That was just a description and a metaphor used to describe the condensation of a Divine Soul. It wasn't done casually, but there was a sequence involved.
Chen Zong's Qi Cultivation and Body Tempering condensed separately under the control of his Divine Soul. They didn't interfere with each other, as if they were two separate people.
In the vast and boundless Divine Sea, two shadows stood side by side in the void of the Divine Sea, motionless. Traces of light turned into silk threads that shuttled back and forth and condensed, constantly solidifying.
Waves of power continued to merge into the two shadows, becoming clearer and clearer.
The two shadows were Divine Souls. They were Chen Zong's Divine Soul. One was the Divine Soul for Qi Cultivation, and the other was the Divine Soul for Body Tempering.
Gradually, differences began to appear between the two primordial spirits. Because of the different powers that were fused into them, the Qi Refining primordial spirit had a sense of elegance, as high as the sky, while the Body Refining primordial spirit was heavy, as solid as the earth, and filled with power.
This was also the difference between Qi Cultivation and Body Tempering.
One was Qi, and the other was gravity.
As Chen Zong continued to condense, the pain of having his Divine Soul split into two seemed to gradually fade away and disappear. Chen Zong was completely immersed in the condensation of his Divine Soul.
