After resting for a moment, Xiao Yan, who had finished refining the Spiritual Essence, should have stood up. However, he rolled his bright eyes and calmed his mind. After which, he once again entered his training mode. A thought passed through his mind and the majestic ocean-like Spiritual Strength between his brows suddenly moved at this moment.
Gu You involuntarily exclaimed in surprise when he sensed the change in Xiao Yan's body. It was unexpected that Xiao Yan would be so bold. His Spiritual Strength had just reached the advanced Di Di stage, yet he wanted to attempt to form a Soul Bead. Gu You did not know whether he was reckless or courageous.
Although Xiao Yan's strength would soar after forming a Soul Bead, the danger involved was not something that an ordinary person could endure.
Even with Gu You's experience, this was the first time he had seen someone forcefully forming a Soul Bead with an advanced Di Di stage Spiritual Strength.
Condensing a Soul Bead was easier said than done. It was just condensing one's Spiritual Energy into a bead. However, the pressure one had to endure during the process was definitely not as simple as it sounded.
The formation of a Soul Bead not only tested an alchemist's Spiritual Strength, but it also tested the alchemist's intelligence. During the process of forming a Soul Bead, a powerful Spiritual Strength was no longer something an alchemist could rely on. Only an unwavering and tenacious mind could support the formation of a Soul Bead until the end.
It was also because of this that many rank two high grade alchemists were unable to form a Soul Bead and break through the barrier to become a rank three alchemist. One's Spiritual Strength could be trained and raised, but one's intelligence could only rely on one's own heart.
Only with a strong heart would one be able to guarantee the agglomeration of a Soul Bead. This could also be considered as a kind of test for the strong. After all, those who were able to endure the pain of agglomeration of a Soul Bead and successfully advance to the next level, which one of them was not a person with a strong heart and powerful strength?
…
Xiao Yan calmed his heart and slowly maneuvered the Spiritual Strength in his Sea of Consciousness. The method of forming a Soul Bead was not difficult. Although this was the first time, Xiao Yan could be considered familiar with it. As an alchemist, controlling Spiritual Strength was an extremely easy task for him.
What Xiao Yan needed to do now was to guide the Spiritual Strength in his Sea of Consciousness and use a special method to form it. Once all the Spiritual Strength in Xiao Yan's Sea of Consciousness was completely formed and turned into a physical state, the formation of a Soul Bead would be complete.
As Xiao Yan's thoughts revolved, the majestic Spiritual Strength in his Sea of Consciousness also began to churn. After which, under Xiao Yan's control, the surging Spiritual Strength began to slowly rotate in his Sea of Consciousness. Threads of Spiritual Strength were gradually extracted under Xiao Yan's control. Soon after, they were like two small snakes that intertwined with each other.
The first step of forming the Soul Bead could be considered the easiest step. It did not take Xiao Yan too much time and he easily condensed the two clusters of Spiritual Strength together. The following steps were basically the same. However, as the Spiritual Strength continued to condense and compress, the Spiritual Strength within the Soul Bead in front of Xiao Yan also rapidly increased. Before the Soul Bead was completely formed, all the Spiritual Strength that Xiao Yan possessed would become his greatest burden. The terrifying Spiritual Strength would crush his consciousness. If he was unable to endure, the worst outcome would be that his Spiritual Strength would be injured!
As the Spiritual Strength gradually condensed, a greyish-white Soul Bead slowly formed within Xiao Yan's Sea of Consciousness. At this moment, Xiao Yan could also clearly feel the terrifying Spiritual Strength that was being emitted from the Soul Bead. This kind of Spiritual Strength was definitely not a terrifying level that Xiao Yan could reach in the past!
At this moment, Xiao Yan felt as though he was carrying a majestic Mount Tai on his back. Every part of his body was enduring the terrifying Spiritual Strength. The muscles all over his body were as taut as steel and every cell in his body was resisting the Spiritual Strength with all their might.
As time passed, a soreness akin to being bitten by ants attacked his entire body. Xiao Yan felt as though all the bones in his body were about to fall apart. The Spiritual Strength within his Sea of Consciousness continued to flow out and was completely poured into the greyish-white Soul Bead. Xiao Yan's consciousness also gradually became a little blurry.
Before the Soul Bead was formed, his Spiritual Strength could no longer be used by him. Usually, Xiao Yan could rely on his powerful Spiritual Strength to maintain his consciousness. However, at this moment, he could only rely on his own willpower!
Within his Sea of Consciousness, the body that Xiao Yan had created using his Spiritual Strength gradually dissipated and transformed into wisps of Spiritual Strength that flowed into the Soul Bead. The terrifying Spiritual Strength around Xiao Yan's body also became increasingly terrifying as it relied on the Soul Bead.
"Buzz …"
Suddenly, the greyish-white Soul Bead, which was the size of a basketball, trembled violently. Immediately, a formless and terrifying Spiritual Strength instantly crushed towards Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan had no way of dodging. He knew that if he wanted to successfully form the Soul Bead, he had to endure this attack. Otherwise, all his previous efforts would be wasted!
The terrifying Spiritual Strength caused Xiao Yan's previously groggy mind to instantly regain its clarity. At this moment, Xiao Yan's heart was extremely helpless. He never imagined that there would be a day where he would actually be crushed by the Spiritual Strength that he had always been so proud of …
Perhaps, the essence of forming the Soul Bead was for the alchemist to understand that if he wanted to defeat others, he had to defeat himself first …
For a true strong practitioner, the strength of his opponent would only excite him. Only when he was unable to surpass himself would he feel fear in his heart …
When Xiao Yan thought of this in his heart, the Spiritual Strength that originally belonged to Xiao Yan was already surging towards him with a terrifying Spiritual Strength that could crush everything. Even if Xiao Yan was at his peak condition and attacked with all his Spiritual Strength, it would still be difficult for him to match up against that kind of power …
When that Spiritual Strength arrived in front of him, even with Xiao Yan's temperament, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart. However, before he could do anything, that terrifying Spiritual Strength that was filled with an aura of destruction ruthlessly pressed down on him like a storm.
In an instant, Xiao Yan's expression abruptly changed. His illusory body exploded with a bang. Under that terrifying Spiritual Strength, his willpower that he thought was firm was actually unable to withstand a single blow!
"Ah!!!"
"Ah!!!!"
…
His mind was on the verge of collapse. Xiao Yan unwillingly let out a hoarse roar from the bottom of his heart. Painful fresh blood seemed to be about to spurt out from his throat. The feeling of his entire body being crushed made Xiao Yan truly experience the aura of death. At this moment, Xiao Yan was already suffocating. He felt that his body was no longer listening to his commands. His Spiritual Strength had disappeared and he was only left with a body that was like a walking corpse. Death had already forced its way into his heart …
"Sigh ~ This kid is really reckless …"
"Buzz …"
After an elderly sigh, a regretful voice sounded from the bottom of Xiao Yan's heart. Suddenly, a majestic Spiritual Strength crazily surged into his body. The Spiritual Strength emitted by the Soul Bead was blocked for an instant. During this instant, Xiao Yan's collapsed mind was once again filled with life!
"Although I can save you for now, I cannot protect you forever. Whether you succeed or not will depend on yourself …"
Xiao Yan's mind suddenly braced the moment the Spiritual Pressure was blocked. Xiao Yan felt his body suddenly become lighter. The pressure all over his body had been removed. Gu You's voice was vaguely transmitted over while Xiao Yan was feeling surprised in his heart.
Xiao Yan immediately reacted in his heart upon hearing this. From the looks of it, Gu You had helped him again. If it was not for Gu You, Xiao Yan was unable to imagine just what kind of ending would have happened.
Xiao Yan quietly thanked Gu You in his heart. He was also aware that this was not the time to express his gratitude. Immediately, he placed all his attention on the Soul Bead in front of him. Next, as long as he could stabilize his mind and endure until the end, the Soul Bead would be formed!
