"Crackle …"
The lightning energy also had a tempering effect on one's soul energy. However, in this half a year of cultivation, Xiao Yan's soul energy did not increase by much.
Although he had just made a breakthrough, his soul energy was still stuck at the peak Late Stage Martial Emperor realm. Although Xiao Yan was already able to touch the barrier between the Martial Emperor realm soul and the Consolidation Realm, he had yet to make a breakthrough.
If he was unable to break through this barrier, Xiao Yan would not be able to condense a Soul Bead, much less become a rank three alchemist.
Feeling helpless in his heart, he could only place his attention on his incarnation for the time being. No matter what, the strength of his incarnation was also a kind of increase in strength for Xiao Yan.
After a long period of refinement, the strength of Xiao Yan's incarnation had successfully broken through to the Two Star Half Martial Emperor realm. To Xiao Yan, this was something that was within his expectations.
As the incarnation was slowly being refined, time quietly passed. In the blink of an eye, another half a year had passed. From the time Xiao Yan entered the Lightning Pool until now, a year had already passed.
In this half a year, the strength of Xiao Yan's incarnation had also increased to that of a Three Star Half Martial Emperor. It had even reached the Late Stage Three Star Half Martial Emperor realm. It was only a matter of time before it broke through to the Four Star Half Martial Emperor realm and reached the same level as Xiao Yan's main body.
However, as the strength of his incarnation increased, Xiao Yan gradually started to frown. In the end, his brows started to knit together.
When the strength of his incarnation increased to the Peak Late Stage Three Star Half Martial Emperor realm, no matter how Xiao Yan controlled the lightning to refine his incarnation, his incarnation's strength was still shackled and could not increase in the slightest.
Faced with this situation, Xiao Yan could only frown. He knew that his incarnation's strength had reached a bottleneck. If he wanted his incarnation to break through the bottleneck and become a Four Star Half Martial Emperor, Xiao Yan's own soul energy must first make a breakthrough.
Only when his soul energy reached the Consolidation Realm would his incarnation's strength have the space to increase. From there, he would be able to make a breakthrough and become a Four Star Half Martial Emperor.
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly in his heart. After going around in circles, in the end, it was still because his main body was not strong enough.
If he couldn't let his soul power break through to the Consolidation Realm, then his incarnation wouldn't be able to break through the bottleneck and his strength wouldn't be able to increase.
However, judging from Xiao Yan's current situation, according to his normal cultivation speed, if Xiao Yan wanted to increase his soul energy to the Consolidation Realm, he would have to wait until Xiao Yan's strength reached late stage Four Star Half Martial Emperor. Only then would he be able to make a breakthrough and condense a Soul Bead.
However, no one knew how long this process would take.
In the future, the opponents that Xiao Yan would face would be even more powerful. Especially after he arrived in the Western Region, as he possessed the Sky Extinction Step, he would be targeted by the four great sects sooner or later. At that time, the opponents that Xiao Yan would have to face would not be as simple as Half Emperors.
Back then, the sect masters of the four great sects were already Nine Star Half Martial Emperors. After so many years, they would've definitely broken through their shackles and stepped into the Dou Di level.
Dou Di. At that level, even if the current Xiao Yan were to go all-out and use all of his methods, he would still not be able to defeat them. As for Xiao Yan, it was impossible for him to trouble Gu You to do everything for him. In the end, he still had to walk his own path. Although Gu You was a protector, he would not be able to protect Xiao Yan forever.
If that was really the case, then it could only be said that Gu You had misjudged Xiao Yan.
… …
Xiao Yan stared at the incarnation before him. After a long time, a stubborn expression gradually appeared on his face. He clenched his teeth tightly and his hands under his sleeves slowly clenched into fists. Low creaking sounds were emitted. After a moment, Xiao Yan said sternly in his heart, "I didn't succeed last time.
This time, I will definitely condense a Soul Bead! "
Xiao Yan suddenly raised his eyes after the low cry sounded in his heart. He looked at the dark-black thunderbolts in the empty space. The lightning strength and pure Dou Qi energy contained within them would be his greatest reliance in forming a soul bead this time around.
Xiao Yan acted as soon as he thought of this. He waved his sleeve and the incarnation before him disappeared. It turned into Soul Energy and returned to Xiao Yan's body. After that, Xiao Yan turned his head to look at the Northern King and Xiao Jin.
After an entire year of devouring and refining, the Northern King's strength had already risen to the peak of the Eight Star Half Martial Emperor level. He was only a step away from becoming a Nine Star Half Martial Emperor. Moreover, from the looks of it, it would not be long before the Northern King would truly become a Nine Star Half Martial Emperor.
On the other side, just as Xiao Yan had predicted half a year ago, Xiao Jin's pure Dou Qi energy had turned into a crystal and completely enveloped Xiao Jin's body.
Xiao Jin seemed to be sleeping as he slowly refined the extremely pure Dou Qi energy. When the Dou Qi energy was completely refined, Xiao Jin's nirvana would be completed.
Seeing that the Northern King and Xiao Jin were on the right track, Xiao Yan felt very gratified in his heart. To Xiao Yan, the strength of these two people was a kind of strength.
After resting for a moment, Xiao Yan once again sat down cross-legged. He slowly circulated the Flame Mantra within his body and adjusted his body's condition to its peak.
Two hours later, Xiao Yan, who was in the midst of his training, slowly opened his eyes. A glint flashed across his dark-black pupils. The aura all over his body was withdrawn, much like a hidden dragon in an abyss sharpening its sword and returning it to its sheath. However, the invisible force that was faintly emitted was still like a sharp sword that shook one's soul.
Xiao Yan deeply breathed in a mouthful of cool air. At this moment, all the distracting thoughts in his heart had completely calmed down. After a moment, he slowly closed his eyes. He was about to enter a state of cultivation.
"Xiao Yan, boy, you've only just broken through to the Four Star Half Martial Emperor level. Are you sure you want to enter the Five Star Half Martial Emperor level so soon?"
Gu You's slightly worried voice sounded from Xiao Yan's body. This caused Xiao Yan, who was about to enter a state of cultivation, to frown. The Martial Technique that he had just circulated in his body also stopped.
"Sigh …"
Xiao Yan let out a deep sigh. How could he not understand Gu You's words? However, he knew better than anyone that he needed strength. He needed a sufficiently powerful strength in order to possess the ability to protect himself on this continent, where there were so many experts.
"The path of cultivation is about gradual progress. I know this very well. Time waits for no man. No matter how much logic there is, it's better to talk about it later. Right now, the most important thing is to possess what I have. If I'm not strong enough, I'm afraid that I won't have an easy time when I reach the Western Region …"
After hearing Xiao Yan's words, Gu You also understood in his heart what kind of attitude Xiao Yan held toward him.
In the end, Xiao Yan only wished to rely on his own strength. He did not wish to have to hide behind Gu You all the way. After all, Gu You would not be able to help Xiao Yan deal with every opponent.
After being silent for a long time, Gu You's slightly gratified sigh sounded from the bottom of Xiao Yan's heart. After that, Gu You laughed heartily and said, "Haha, that's good.
That's what a hot-blooded man should do. You have to face difficulties yourself. Strength is also obtained through fighting. Since you have the heart to do so, this old man will not stop you. I don't want you to say that I'm a busybody. Haha! "
"Go, give it your all. As long as you can endure in this Lightning Pool, this old man believes that breaking through to the Five Star Half Martial Emperor level will not be a problem!"
