Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 176 - 119: Inventing a Divine Soul Secret Technique, Ninefold Soul Torture Technique

Chapter 176: Chapter 119: Inventing a Divine Soul Secret Technique, Ninefold Soul Torture Technique

Sizzle sizzle.

The external Thunder Prison lasted only a moment before the bolts of lightning gradually dissipated, leaving behind the devastated mountain peak and the mysterious willow tree that seemed untouched by the might of the heavenly lightning.

However, Qi Chuan’s Divine Soul still felt a hint of fatigue.

In this state, although he could barely withstand the next strike of the Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder, he couldn’t maintain the clarity needed for self-creating his Divine Soul Secret Technique amidst such intense pain.

"Let’s wait for the next time."

Qi Chuan thought.

He directly exited the contemplation state.

Outside, on the bed, Qi Chuan’s eyes remained closed. Although he had exited the contemplation state, he didn’t open his eyes immediately.

A gentle flow.

Even without opening his eyes to see the writing of the Golden Finger, Qi Chuan could still feel an outpouring of Power of Divine Soul within him, akin to a stream nourishing a dried riverbed, soothing the pain of his Divine Soul.

But now, Qi Chuan didn’t indulge in the comfortable coolness in his mind; instead, he used this clarity to recall the extremely rough framework of the Divine Soul Secret Technique he had attempted to construct using Divine Sense in the mysterious space of contemplation, aiming to modify and improve it.

After a while, Qi Chuan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled.

"To truly create a Divine Soul Secret Technique, one must rely on the inspiration sparked at the moment of the Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder, and what you can do afterward is merely summarize, refine, and improve the ideas brought by this inspiration. But if the inspiration is insufficient, any amount of summarization and refinement is futile and might even lead to incorrect conclusions."

Qi Chuan mused inwardly.

After exiting the contemplation state, he closed his eyes to continue recalling, trying to further refine the framework of the Divine Soul Secret Technique. Although there were some gains, they were negligible.

Moreover, as time passed, the gains from recalling to refine the framework of the Divine Soul Secret Technique would become less and less.

Therefore, to truly create a Divine Soul Secret Technique unique to Qi Chuan, it required repeatedly entering the contemplation state and enduring the refinement of the Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder.

However, at this moment, two lines of characters appeared before Qi Chuan.

[You cultivated the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method, transformed your Divine Soul into a willow, underwent the refinement of the Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder, triggered eightfold critical strike, gained eightfold reward, your Divine Soul has somewhat improved.]

[While in a contemplation state, you analyzed and reconstructed the soul-pain caused by the Illusory Heavenly Dao’s Soul-Striking Thunder, and upon exiting the contemplation state, summarized and refined through recollection, attempting to self-create a unique Divine Soul Secret Technique, triggered ninetyfold critical strike, gained ninetyfold reward, your progress in the self-created Divine Soul Secret Technique has somewhat increased.]

As these two lines appeared, more came into Qi Chuan’s mind.

Ample feedback of Power of Divine Soul had already been received by Qi Chuan.

So now in Qi Chuan’s mind emerged many insights and understandings regarding the self-created Divine Soul Secret Technique.

After absorbing them, a sense of enlightenment flashed in Qi Chuan’s eyes.

He had already noticed that the extremely rough framework of the Divine Soul Secret Technique he constructed earlier had many errors, and he already had some improvement and refinement solutions waiting for his trial.

Acting on his thoughts, Qi Chuan immediately proceeded to make improvements and refinements according to his envisioned plan. After some time, the framework of the Divine Soul Secret Technique in his mind indeed became considerably more detailed and had gained a hint of form.

"Not enough, continue!"

Qi Chuan closed his eyes again, entering the contemplation state, to continue capturing the inspiration for self-creating the Divine Soul Secret Technique during the refinement process by the Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder.

Anyway, with the ample feedback of Power of Divine Soul from the Golden Finger soothing the damages to his Divine Soul, he could continuously contemplate and refine his Divine Soul.

Time continued to pass.

In Qi Chuan’s efforts, he repeatedly contemplated and attempted to self-create the Divine Soul Secret Technique, with lines of words repeatedly appearing before him.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, three days and nights had passed.

During these three days and nights, Qi Chuan devoted almost all his energy and time to self-creating the Divine Soul Secret Technique.

At this moment, sitting atop the bed, Qi Chuan opened his bloodshot eyes.

Even with the Hundredfold Critical Strike, providing ample feedback of Power of Divine Soul to soothe the damages, the frequent intense soul pains over these three days and nights still made Qi Chuan extremely uncomfortable.

He felt that he could not continue and must take a break.

However, fortunately, as Qi Chuan gazed into the void ahead, he saw a line of writing somewhat different from those that had appeared in these three days and nights.

[While in a contemplation state, you analyzed and reconstructed the soul-pain caused by the Illusory Heavenly Dao’s Soul-Striking Thunder, and upon exiting the contemplation state, summarized and refined through recollection, attempting to self-create a unique Divine Soul Secret Technique, triggered Hundredfold Critical Strike, gained hundredfold reward, your progress in the self-created Divine Soul Secret Technique has somewhat increased, and you successfully self-created a Divine Soul Secret Technique.]

At this moment, a wealth of understanding regarding the self-created Divine Soul Secret Technique emerged in Qi Chuan’s mind.

After absorbing them, Qi Chuan felt a clear mind, with the framework of the Divine Soul Secret Technique he envisioned rapidly evolving, self-improving.

Soon, a new, unique unnamed Divine Soul Secret Technique flowed through Qi Chuan’s heart.

"Finally, I succeeded!"

Feeling the unnamed Divine Soul Secret Technique, a smile appeared on Qi Chuan’s face as he relaxed completely, with an overwhelming sense of accomplishment surging within.

To say it, this was the first time he self-created a Secret Technique through his own efforts, and it was a Divine Soul Secret Technique, an exceedingly rare type of Secret Technique; saying he’s not happy would be a lie.

Most importantly, this Divine Soul Secret Technique was also immensely powerful.

Its function roughly matched Qi Chuan’s previous expectations, though there were some differences.

Originally, Qi Chuan’s idea was that once he cast the Divine Soul Secret Technique, he could make his opponent, like him, truly endure the strike of the Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder, experience the same soul-pain, thereby inducing a state of loss of control or even fear.

However, the actual operation was completely different.

Because with Qi Chuan’s current strength of the Divine Soul, he could not truly construct the Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder within the opponent’s Divine Soul. It’s not only due to the excessive consumption of Power of Divine Soul but also because the Divine Soul level was too low to achieve it.

Even the slightest Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder was unattainable.

Thus, Qi Chuan had to settle for less, merely making the opponent feel something akin to his own soul-pain.

During actual Magical Combat, when Qi Chuan cast this Divine Soul Secret Technique, it would make his Power of Divine Soul swift like the Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder, striking into the opponent’s Divine Soul instantaneously.

However, the Power of Divine Soul that entered the opponent’s Divine Soul wouldn’t construct the Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder; instead, it would disperse into strands, penetrating various parts of the opponent’s Divine Soul, with each strand emitting a peculiar Divine Soul wave, impacting the opponent’s Divine Soul and causing intense soul-pain.

But in this process, Qi Chuan would also endure the same soul-pain.

Because Qi Chuan could not use Power of Divine Soul to construct the true Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder, essentially, he was merely leveraging his years of cultivating the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method, imposing his hundreds or thousands of unforgettable soul-pain memories onto the opponent’s Divine Soul.

So during the casting of this Divine Soul Secret Technique, Qi Chuan would personally experience a state where soul-pain memories would resurge, enduring almost identical soul-pain as his opponent.

Unlike the opponent, Qi Chuan, having long been familiar with the Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder’s soul-pain, possessed extreme endurance, able to maintain clarity while enduring this pain, and commanding the Flying Sword to slay the enemy.

Additionally, there was another major characteristic.

The power of this Divine Soul Secret Technique could become increasingly stronger as Qi Chuan continued to cultivate the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method; the more times he endured the Illusory Heavenly Dao’s soul-striking thunder, the more powerful it would become.

Because the accumulating soul-pain memories increased.

"Since that’s the case, let’s name this Divine Soul Secret Technique the Ninefold Soul Torture Technique."

Qi Chuan thought inwardly.
