Chapter 234: The Birth of the Soul Dueling Machine! The Struggling Senior Jiang Yourong! (6500 words)
The existence of divine and demonic murals is ancient.
They contain a special divinity.
When Wang Xiu comprehended the divine and demonic murals, he felt that there was a vast and rich spiritual world within them.
It was like a projection left behind by ancient gods.
It recorded an indescribable ancient time.
He had seen the fall of ancient gods within them, legendary divine beasts prostrating before him, wailing and begging for survival. He had witnessed the struggles of countless beings before their deaths, as well as countless rebirths.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small world, but only the spirit is allowed to enter.
Of course, the main reason for this divine effect is the ancient scriptures.
But the special material of the rocks is also indispensable.
Now, all those ancient scriptures are in Wang Xiu's hands, and all the divine and demonic murals have been emptied by Wang Xiu.
He suddenly had the idea of replicating the former divine power of the divine and demonic murals.
Thus, creating a spiritual world where people can freely cultivate their own Dao and comprehend the terror between life and death.
Wang Xiu's understanding of the scriptures has not reached the level of those ancient gods who left behind the divine and demonic murals. It is very difficult to achieve such realistic world scenes.
But he also has his own advantages, all the scriptures in the divine and demonic murals are in his hands.
By using them in combination, various scriptures can be fused together.
Perhaps it can produce various indescribable magical effects.
Thinking about it, Wang Xiu formed hand seals with both hands, and a golden heavenly book rose from above his head. One hundred and eight pieces of scripture emitted a hazy radiance, enveloping him in a dazzling mist, with thousands of auspicious colors, extremely divine.
Those scriptures emitted various colors of radiance, causing various strange phenomena.
Sometimes it was like a mountain torrent erupting, sometimes there were flames soaring, sometimes there were lightning and thunder, sometimes there was lush vegetation, sometimes there were violent hurricanes...
It was as if countless Myriad Worlds were being born and destroyed behind Wang Xiu's head, eventually turning into a large symbol.
In front of him, the rocks slowly floated, as if sensing the energy of the scriptures. The gray rocks also began to emit light, revealing ancient patterns, full of antiquity.
He tried to incorporate the large symbol into it, but always failed.
"My understanding of the scriptures is still lacking, and my methods are not as good as those ancient gods back then. It seems that using only these rocks... won't work!" Wang Xiu quickly made a judgment and took out other mineral god gold from his spatial ring, smelting them from nothingness.
The Immemorial Divine Forging Art was activated, and the image of an ancient god with a bare upper body appeared, holding a forging hammer high and striking fiercely. The clanging sounds merged into one, not only without noise, but with a special charm.
It could even lead people into the Dao.
"Hiss~ The energy in this large symbol is too abundant. The divine souls of ordinary cultivators are fragile. If they enter it without undergoing training, they will probably be directly ground to dust. The difficulty needs to be reduced!"
"No, it still needs to be reduced..."
"We don't need all the attributes of the scriptures to have their own artistic conception. For ordinary talented cultivators, two or three types are enough..."
"...The energy of the runes is not a problem, but these crystals still need to be polished!"
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Wang Xiu had been in his room the whole time, never stepping out, constantly polishing that piece of rock.
At this moment, the rocks merged with various ores and runes, no longer dull and became crystal clear, thin as cicada wings, emitting a faint light, looking quite extraordinary.
"Once we have the chip, the next step is the body!"
Wang Xiu thought for a moment, took out a communication token, and without hesitation, directly melted and dismantled it.
To be modified.
For Wang Xiu, who possessed the complete "Grand Celestial Cycle Divine Puppet Scripture," this workload was simply too simple.
One day later, a brand new handheld device appeared in front of Wang Xiu.
Square-shaped, engraved with mysterious runes on the back, faintly outlining a dragon shape, very cool.
The front was smooth as a mirror, shimmering with precious light.
With a trace of mana infusion, it immediately radiated brilliant colors, dazzling like stars entering the sea.
In terms of thickness, it was even thinner than the original communication token.
The feel was excellent.
"Let's give it a try..." Wang Xiu rubbed his hands, feeling somewhat expectant, his brow shining, condensing a trace of divine soul and pouring it into it.
Buzz!
In an instant, the brilliance flashed, and the world before his eyes changed dramatically.
Mist was everywhere, and the sound of flowing water could faintly be heard in his ears. There were eerie movements coming from the depths of the mist.
Wang Xiu walked straight ahead and quickly passed through the mist. A huge lion-like creature appeared before his eyes, covering the sky, roaring towards the sky, shaking the mountains, a terrifying scene.
"It looks pretty good!" Wang Xiu muttered, somewhat satisfied.
"Roar!" When the lion-like creature saw Wang Xiu, its eyes burst with fierce light, charging straight towards him. Thunderous light surged all over its body, descending from the sky, turning the surrounding void into a thunder prison.
Wang Xiu dodged in an instant and appeared above the lion-like creature's head, striking down with a palm.
In an instant, runes filled the sky, submerging the lion-like creature.
The huge body shattered on the spot and disappeared without a trace.
Wang Xiu: "..."
When creating this thing, considering the real situation of the vast majority of cultivators, Wang Xiu controlled the Daoist energy that constructed this internal spiritual world to the extreme.
It couldn't be too weak, or it wouldn't serve the purpose of honing.
But it couldn't be too strong either, strong to the point where it couldn't be dealt with, which would be useless.
As a result, these monsters appeared, completely lacking the ability to resist when facing themselves.
But fortunately, this thing...
Wang Xiu didn't make it for the purpose of honing himself!
He didn't need it!
Moreover, if he could create a treasure that was very useful for himself, a honing battle force, wouldn't he become a perpetual motion machine?
Can a Saint Manifestation expert create something that hones an Earth Immortal?
Obviously, it's unrealistic!
"Not bad, with a little more polishing, it will be ready for official use!" Wang Xiu muttered to himself.
He pushed open the door, and Yan Ji, who had been waiting on all fours by the door, immediately transformed into human form and threw herself into Wang Xiu's arms.
"Master, you're finally out of seclusion. Yan Ji missed you so much..." The girl whimpered, her large chest pressing against Wang Xiu's chest, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Miss me? Or miss it?" Wang Xiu's mouth curled into a mischievous smile as the runes in his hand transformed, giving birth to strands of golden Flame of the Candle.
"Both, hehe!" Yan Ji's mouth watered, and she immediately engulfed the flame, enjoying it.
After feeding Yan Ji and playing with her for a while...
Jiang Ling'er's voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard, "Senior Brother, are you out of seclusion?"
Wang Xiu was slightly startled, patted Yan Ji's buttocks, and she obediently transformed back into her original form, lying down.
"Yes, just out of seclusion!" Wang Xiu walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
After not seeing each other for ten days and a half month, Jiang Ling'er seemed to have grown taller. She wore a flowing green dress, her skin glowing with a crystal-like luster, her eyebrows and eyes picturesque, and she looked charming and lovely.
"It's not easy to see you now. Senior Brother, you're so busy!" Jiang Ling'er pouted, her words carrying a hint of resentment.
In theory, they should have seen each other a lot while both were on Spirit Turtle Peak.
However, the reality was not like that. This was their first meeting since returning to the Three Purities Immortal Gate.
"Weren't you the one who left the mountain for Jiang Senior's matter? I haven't seen you for half a month... and you have the nerve to say I'm busy?" Wang Xiu rubbed Jiang Ling'er's nose and laughed lightly.
Jiang Yourong had already eaten a lot of the Supreme Soul Replenishing Pill.
Her strength had recovered quickly.
Coupled with their journey to the Holy Realm, not only did Jiang Ling'er gain opportunities, but Jiang Yourong also had incredible luck, and her divine soul had almost recovered by eighty to ninety percent.
They were already preparing to reshape their physical bodies.
In the past few days, Jiang Ling'er had either stayed on Spirit Turtle Peak or searched for rare materials in the Ghost Immortal Blessed Land, or went down the mountain to Vermilion Bird City to find some rare treasures.
In short, she was quite busy.
Jiang Ling'er's face turned slightly red as she said, "But you're not any less busy, Senior Brother! Killing the Demon Race, becoming the son-in-law of Thunder Lineage... and then coming back and shutting yourself in!"
She had obviously heard a lot of things.
At first, she was very surprised.
After all, it hadn't been long since they returned from the Holy Realm, and Wang Xiu had quietly done several earth-shattering things.
Especially the massacre of many Demon Race in Blackwater City, the news spread throughout the South State, and Jiang Ling'er, who was picking precious medicine in a remote place at the time, had heard of it.
At the same time, she couldn't help but feel proud. This was her Senior Brother!
He was always so dazzling, no matter when.
But when she came back and learned about Wang Xiu and Ji Zidian, the little girl couldn't be happy anymore. She felt depressed, as if she had missed something.
Clearly, she had met Senior Brother first!
And they were even close, so how did that woman manage to snatch him away?
She had wanted to see Wang Xiu when she came back, but she happened to catch him in seclusion. She had been holding in her anger for so many days, like a little resentful woman.
"......"
Wang Xiu was speechless. How did he become a son-in-law?
But now he knew that he couldn't reason with the girl, so he skipped this topic and rubbed Jiang Ling'er's little head, saying, "Stop talking nonsense, Senior Brother will treat you to a meal!"
...
The bonfire rose again in the courtyard.
The rich aroma of meat filled the air, and the taste of the soup was strong. The steam rose, and colorful rays sprayed out, drifting far away.
Wang Xiu found that he was increasingly enjoying the feeling of cooking by himself, a sense of accomplishment.
After all, Jiang Ling'er was still a child. When she smelled the strong aroma of meat, her unhappy mood faded a lot, and her frustration turned into motivation to devour the beast meat.
Jiang Yourong came out, still wearing that sexy leopard-print dress, with large patches of snow-white and sparkling skin exposed in the air.
It didn't look lascivious, but rather exuded a sense of wild sensuality.
It made people's hearts beat faster.
She couldn't eat, so she could only watch the two of them eat with her arms crossed, feeling very frustrated.
The group ate and chatted.
Wang Xiu quickly learned that during Jiang Ling'er's time away from the mountain, she not only busied herself with finding materials to rebuild Jiang Yourong's physical body, but also followed Jiang Yourong's guidance to explore several secret places.
Along the way, they accidentally stumbled into two beast dens, but unfortunately the beasts were not at home, so she stole the treasures they were guarding.
There was also a time when they accidentally fell into a Secret Realm and found relics left by a great cultivator from thousands of years ago.
They obtained several remarkable treasures and materials.
Later, they also obtained a token and, together with many other cultivators, entered the Cave Mansion of an ancient cultivator.
In the end, all those cultivators died.
Only she came out, with a full harvest!
Although it was said simply, Wang Xiu could imagine how exciting Jiang Ling'er's journey had been.
"It really is the chosen one!" Wang Xiu's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but envy her. Jiang Ling'er's luck was truly invincible, the kind that could pick up treasures just by walking on the road.
In less than a month, she had walked a path that others couldn't finish in a lifetime.
No wonder her strength had become so much stronger than before she went down the mountain. She had already reached the Sixth Layer of the Gold Core stage, and her cultivation progress was not slower than Ji Zidian, who had a Sacred Body.
"By the way, Senior Brother, the new batch of rankings from the Phoenix Perch Tower is out! You're the top on the Venerable list..." Jiang Ling'er suddenly remembered something and said.
"Is that so?" Wang Xiu was slightly stunned, then chuckled lightly, not surprised.
His achievements were already enough.
Not to mention his peers at the Nascent Soul stage, even if the previous Venerable powerhouses were included, they couldn't surpass Wang Xiu.
Just having an ancient and rare twelve-colored Nascent Soul was enough to dominate the rankings!
Not to mention his brilliant record, which was terrifyingly numerous. He slaughtered demons of higher realms like killing dogs!
"Really, I made a copy, take a look..." Jiang Ling'er was very excited, her face flushed, and she took out a jade slip.
Wang Xiu scanned it with his divine sense and saw his name written at the top of the Venerable list.
[ Three Purities Saint Child - Wang Xiu ]
[ Nascent Soul Sixth Layer天, with a mysterious physique and mysterious inheritance, at the young age of sixteen, entered the Ancient Saint Academy and swept away all the young geniuses of his generation. He has repeatedly crossed boundaries to kill Great Demons comparable to Astral Projection stage Almighties! ]
[ His combat power is unparalleled, surpassing the Dragon and Tiger Saint Child in Thunder Laws, surpassing the Qingtian Saint Child in physical strength, and surpassing the Mountain and Sea Saint Child in formation dao... No heroes in the world dare not submit! ]
[ Condensing the rare twelve-color Supreme Nascent Soul that has never appeared in ten thousand years! ]
[ In less than a thousand years, there is no one below him, and no one above him! ]
Looking at these comments, Wang Xiu couldn't help but touch his nose.
Wow, it's really no wonder that the list was written by his own people. The wording is really not polite.
He's not afraid of being seen as a thorn in the side by the major ancient forces in the entire South State!
"What are you afraid of? In today's South State, which little guy without eyes dares to challenge you?" Jiang Yourong said with a sneer.
Uh...
It seems that it is indeed the case.
Moreover, upon careful consideration, even without this list, it would be difficult for him to keep a low profile now!
Forget it, just be proud this time!
...
Every time the Phoenix Perch Tower updates the list.
It always attracts the attention of a large number of cultivators, who are filled with curiosity and crowd the entire Phoenix Perch Tower, making it extremely crowded.
They want to know who is the most dazzling genius in this land.
But this year, the situation has changed.
Countless cultivators came to the Venerable list, took a glance, and showed a look of "as expected", then turned around and left directly.
The name at the top of the list is too dazzling, suppressing all the geniuses below, making them unable to catch their breath, and they all pale in comparison.
"Anyway, the first place must be the Three Purities Saint Child, as for the others... it doesn't matter how they are ranked!"
Someone said this, quickly causing resonance among countless people.
No one cares about who the second place and the people behind are.
Even other lists are ignored.
The most outstanding geniuses of the younger generation have successively broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, leaving vacancies on the Gold Core list. The new batch that has been re-ranked, no matter how brilliant they are, it is difficult to surpass the previous batch!
And above the Almighty list, there is rarely any fluctuation. The strong at that level are too far away from the mortal world. The common people just watch the excitement and don't pay too much attention to it.
Therefore, when this list was released in South State, it didn't cause any ripples and was quite calm.
...
At the same time, on Spirit Turtle Peak, Wang Xiu handed the token he had spent half a month creating to Jiang Ling'er and asked her to try it.
"What is this?" Jiang Ling'er took the token and felt that it was thin in her hand, but it carried an indescribable sense of heaviness.
As if it contained a whole world.
It looks like a communication token.
"Infuse a strand of mana and soul power into it!" Wang Xiu said.
Jiang Ling'er followed suit, and in the next moment, the token in her hand burst into a dazzling light, enveloping her.
Her vision blurred for a moment, and then she appeared in an incredibly vast world.
"Where is this?" Jiang Ling'er was stunned, looking down at "herself," only in a Spirit Body state, but very real.
"Ling'er, keep walking forward!" Suddenly, Wang Xiu's voice echoed in her ears.
Hearing this familiar voice, Jiang Ling'er felt slightly relieved and obediently walked forward.
Not long after.
She passed by a lakeside, and the great marsh stirred, countless fish tumbling, and an ancient giant crocodile that covered the sky and blocked the sun leaped out of the water.
"Roar!" It roared, shaking the heavens, and crashed down.
Jiang Ling'er was startled, immediately forming hand seals, silver bells ringing, and a radiance surged from her body, turning into a vast ocean to resist.
Boom!
The giant crocodile was shaken back, breaking several mountains, and the continuous rumbling was extremely terrifying.
"So real..." Jiang Ling'er exclaimed. She vaguely felt that this was an illusory world, not a real existence, but strangely, she could freely display all her abilities here.
It was as if even her mana was no different from her physical body, and all the Great Dao runes she was familiar with could be used here.
But clearly, this was just a strand of her divine soul.
"How did you do it?"
Outside, Jiang Yourong stared at Wang Xiu, her mature and charming face filled with shock.
This scene in front of her shattered her worldview.
She was certain that with just the strand of soul power injected by Jiang Ling'er, it was absolutely impossible to possess such strong combat power.
Not to mention repelling such a huge ancient giant crocodile with a single move and breaking several mountain ranges.
Only her true body could do that.
In other words, Jiang Ling'er's soul power, in that world, could actually exert a power no weaker than her true body?
This was too bizarre!
"Just a little trick..." Wang Xiu smiled faintly, without explaining too much.
Because even if he explained, Jiang Yourong wouldn't understand.
She couldn't understand, because it involved the secrets of the ancient spiritual race.
The ancient spiritual race was adept at visualizing with divine consciousness.
This power was extremely mysterious. The spiritual race's divine beings could say there was a sun, and a sun would appear; they could say there was life, and they could visualize life...
They could visualize everything and create everything.
Although Wang Xiu couldn't achieve that level yet, as his cultivation continued to improve, his utilization of the path of divine consciousness also gradually reached new heights.
Not only could he allow a strand of a cultivator's soul power to exert its peak strength within it.
The token can further enhance the strength of the monsters in this token world, changing according to the strength of the cultivators who enter it.
Although the world within this token is virtual, the distinction between the virtual and the real has no true boundaries in the eyes of powerful spiritual beings.
Soon, in the token world, Jiang Ling'er defeated an ancient giant crocodile and turned into scattered stars.
"Ling'er, keep moving forward!" Wang Xiu spoke up.
Jiang Ling'er was very obedient and continued to move forward according to Wang Xiu's words.
It didn't take long for her to encounter the second fierce beast, a silver-scaled snake with two bulges on its head, indicating that it was about to transform into a dragon. Its strength was exceptionally fierce.
Jiang Ling'er felt the pressure and became serious.
But her current strength was not to be underestimated. Under Jiang Yourong's guidance, not only did her cultivation progress rapidly, but her combat power also improved by leaps and bounds.
Before long, the second fierce beast also fell.
Jiang Ling'er continued to advance, defeating the third, fifth, tenth, twenty-third...
Finally, a divine bird appeared before her, its body crimson red with Vermilion Bird bloodline. When it spread its wings, the world turned into a sea of fire, terrifying to the extreme.
Jiang Ling'er fought with all her might, using all her techniques one after another, pushing her combat power to the limit.
It took about an hour.
Finally, she emerged victorious!
"I can't go on, senior brother... spare me... I can't take it anymore..." Jiang Ling'er withdrew that strand of soul power and collapsed on the ground, her face covered in sweat, her slightly raised chest rising and falling, her curves beautiful, with a look of not wanting to live.
Too tired, too intense!
She had never experienced such high-intensity, high-frequency battles before.
The earlier battles were fine, but each subsequent one was incredibly powerful, requiring her full concentration to deal with. One wrong move and there was a risk of being defeated.
"What is this token called?" Jiang Yourong witnessed the entire process, her towering chest rising and falling, unable to hide her astonishment.
"I hadn't thought of a name before, but now I suddenly have an idea. How about calling it the Soul Dueling Machine? What do you think, senior?" Wang Xiu asked with his head tilted.
"Very good," Jiang Yourong nodded thoughtfully, then hurriedly asked, "So, how many fierce beasts are there in this Soul Dueling Machine of yours?"
"In theory, it's infinite!" Wang Xiu said.
The energy that sustains the token is spiritual energy.
And within the token, there are several subtle Spirit Gathering formations that can replenish the consumption.
Wang Xiu has calculated that if it is fully charged and continuously used, it can last for three days and three nights.
But based on the current situation, few people can last that long inside.
"Well... what happens if you die inside?" Jiang Yourong suddenly asked, and Jiang Ling'er also looked at Wang Xiu, curious about this question.
"The consequences are quite serious!" Wang Xiu said seriously, "At least one day of rest is needed to continue!"
"..." Jiang Yourong was speechless.
This is considered a serious consequence?
Compared to the powerful training of combat skills and Divine Abilities, this side effect can be considered negligible.
Oh my god!
If this gets out, those people outside will go crazy, won't they?
Jiang Yourong's beautiful eyes sparkled as she keenly sensed just how abnormal this thing was.
"Senior Brother, you're amazing!" Jiang Ling'er's face was flushed, still panting heavily, sincerely exclaiming.
Even she could imagine the future prospects of this thing.
It would definitely cause a sensation in the entire cultivation world.
"So... is it troublesome to manufacture this thing?" Jiang Yourong asked.
"Well, it's not too bad!"
Although it took more than half a month for the first one, after all, it was the first time and it was made from scratch. If he continued to produce, Wang Xiu was confident that he could control the time to within a day.
"You definitely can't handle it alone, right? Do you need help?" Jiang Yourong's eyes turned, emitting a strange light.
"You, Senior,?" Wang Xiu was definitely going to find someone to help with production. Relying on himself alone, the efficiency was too low. He had already thought about it and planned to study it in a few days, set up a few assembly lines, and let the puppets produce automatically, greatly improving efficiency.
But he didn't expect that Jiang Yourong would actually volunteer.
"In that case, I'll assist you, and you can give me a share... I don't want much, just take ten percent... no, half, how about that?" Jiang Yourong's eyes sparkled.
What kind of business opportunity was this?
She dared to bet that once this thing spread, the entire cultivation world would be shaken. No one could resist honing their combat skills and Divine Ability without any risk!
This was a chance to make a fortune!
She was about to reshape her physical body now, and the next step was to prepare to rebuild the Nine Dusks Immortal Gate, to become bigger and stronger, and create brilliance again!
How could she do it without money?
Although the pet hospital made money, it was still far from enough to rebuild an Immortal Gate.
Seeing Wang Xiu hesitate, Jiang Yourong straightened her chest proudly and said domineeringly, "Kid, don't be ignorant of the blessings you're in! To be honest, I have already sensed a glimmer of opportunity. Once I reshape my physical body, I am ninety percent certain that I can break through to the Saint Manifestation stage..."
By then, even if I encounter your Master, I won't be afraid at all!
I'm offering to assist you, and you're still hesitating?"
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging nearby, congratulations to the host for gaining +666 mana!]
Uh...
Wang Xiu looked at the confident Jiang Yourong and suddenly said, "Actually, my Master has already come out of seclusion!"
Huh?
Jiang Yourong's face instantly froze, her aura receded, as if even her broad-mindedness had shrunk.
"...And, she is currently working on breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm!"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yourong was stunned, as if struck by lightning, standing still in place.
