Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 175 - 119: Inventing a Divine Soul Secret Technique, Ninefold Soul Torture Technique

Chapter 175: Chapter 119: Inventing a Divine Soul Secret Technique, Ninefold Soul Torture Technique

This past year, Qi Chuan’s efforts in the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method have finally paid off.

His divine soul strength has advanced to the level equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator.

It broke through even earlier than his magical cultivation.

However, this was also expected.

Because Qi Chuan had already cultivated a Foundation Establishment divine sense while still in the Qi Refining Realm before advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

From the time he cultivated his divine sense until a year ago, Qi Chuan occasionally practiced the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method to enhance his divine soul.

Combined with this past year’s efforts, he finally broke through.

"The pity is, unlike magical cultivation, merely having a small advantage in divine soul does not bring a significant improvement in magical combat, except in day-to-day practice and comprehension of cultivation methods and divine techniques, at least not unless there’s an advantage of two small levels or the cultivation of an offensive divine soul secret technique."

Qi Chuan mused to himself.

If he cultivated an offensive divine soul secret technique, combined with his divine soul strength leading by a small level in the same realm, and with the powerful attacking power from the Sword Dao, he would be extremely formidable. His opponent might not even react before being attacked by his divine soul and falling into a daze, then instantly decapitated by his flying sword.

"But my Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method is derived from observing the Ancient Soul Wood, it only has a cultivation method, without a divine soul secret technique?"

Qi Chuan fell into deep thought.

Divine soul secret techniques are extremely rare and special; even the massive Wind Moon Sect might not have them.

His idea to fortify his magical combat ability with a divine soul secret technique might not come to fruition.

Shaking his head, Qi Chuan temporarily decided to set this matter aside and consider it later. But just then, an image flickered in his mind of a mystical space where a willow stood on a towering mountain, being tempered by the Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder descending from the sky.

"No... Although the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method doesn’t have an offensive divine soul secret technique, perhaps I could possibly create one myself?"

Qi Chuan whispered inwardly, an irrepressible idea emerging.

Having practiced the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method numerous times, the excruciating pain felt when the Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder nearly split his divine soul in two was unforgettable, though he had greatly increased his endurance over the years, somewhat numb to that pain, his opponent surely couldn’t withstand it.

If he could make his opponent suddenly experience the soul-splitting pain of such heavenly thunder during magical combat, they’d inevitably lose control temporarily, giving his Sword Dao an opportunity to strike.

And with the advantage of his flying sword, even a moment’s chance would allow him to decapitate his opponent, who, upon recovering from the soul-wrenching pain, would find themselves only halves of themselves.

"Would creating a divine soul secret technique on my own be very difficult?" Qi Chuan pondered.

Creating any magical technique on one’s own was already quite tough, let alone the exceedingly rare divine soul secret techniques, which would undoubtedly increase the difficulty manifold.

But fortunately, he wasn’t trying to create out of thin air, he had a precise, real basis—the willow, the heavenly thunder, both intimately familiar to Qi Chuan, he could enter a contemplative state at any time to see them again.

"Let’s give it a try..."

Unusually, Qi Chuan attempted to re-enter the contemplative state for the first time after practicing the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method once more, trying to immerse himself back into that state.

Previously, he avoided overly frequent practice of the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method to keep the torment of soul-breathing pain from occupying too much of his cultivation journey.

But now it was different.

He wanted to borrow that excruciating pain to create an offensive divine soul secret technique, so the more frequently he practiced, the more deeply the soul pain was etched in his memory, the better the effect would be.

Rumble!

Qi Chuan was extremely familiar with the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method.

So, as soon as he closed his eyes and his vision dimmed, he immediately entered the contemplative state. His divine soul seemed to abruptly transform, no longer surrounded by endless darkness, but instead it was a uniquely ancient, boundless world. His divine soul manifestation became an extraordinary willow on top of a myriad-bladed mountain.

Above in the endless sky, dark clouds gathered, layer upon layer, obscuring the light and casting shadow over the land below, resembling a scene of apocalypse.

Accompanied by the deep roar of thunder echoing like a primordial beast across the heavens, the sky cracked open, and a thunder as thick as a barrel pierced through the multiple layers of heavy dark clouds, descending forcefully, pervading the endless heavens and shrouding the willow that was Qi Chuan’s divine soul form.

"Ah!"

Even after years of cultivation and significantly enhanced endurance, Qi Chuan couldn’t help but cry out in his heart under the renewed onslaught of soul-wrenching pain.

This pain pierced directly into the divine soul, and even now, Qi Chuan couldn’t ignore it.

But the more this was the case, the happier Qi Chuan became.

Because if even he couldn’t ignore it, then his opponent enduring such soul-wrenching pain during magical combat would be even less likely to withstand it, giving his flying sword more opportunities.

At once, Qi Chuan, disregarding the agony, sent divine soul power from the transformed willow in waves of divine sense sweeping outwards as if to embrace the thunder that had turned the outside into a thunder prison.

Inside, he gritted his teeth to stay conscious, to imprint the indescribable pain into his divine soul, while attempting to frame it with his divine sense, creating the framework of a divine soul secret technique.
