Soul Tempering
Sensing her Bloodline play up, Yuan Xia cursed as she stomped the ground hard and scowled, startling Yang Tian. He was left scratching his head as she watched her take off.
Yang Ba questioned, “Hey, who is she?”
“She’s the one who helped me at Fallen Devils’ Grounds,” Yang Tian answered.
“Oh, so it was her.” Yang Ba quickly pieced it together. They were clearly more than average friends given the length she went to help Yang Tian. He kept asking Yang Tian more questions on the way back to the inn.
Yang Tian didn’t disturb anyone when he returned to the inn. He went up to Black Demon inside Ancestral dragon Ring. The sword could utilise a void’s energy, making it a deadly weapon. Put it this way: the mysterious big bell during the day was mighty. That said, without the power to maximise a weapon’s potential, it’d be the equivalent of scrap metal.
Yang Tian held a one and a half metre herb that was fully black – nine nether soul herb. There was a pink mist around and divine soul energy. As the name suggested, it grew in dark places. He planted the divine soul herb in the neighbouring herb garden to avoid it leaking its contents.
Yang Tian’s premium-grade bloodstones expenditure increased accordingly with his developed cultivation. Therefore, he needed to dig out the bloodstones at Fallen Devils’ Grounds.
A light-golden pill’s scent stirred Yang Tian’s divine
One’s divine soul didn’t increase in accordance with their cultivation. There was a lack of cultivation methods to cultivate a divine soul. As such, lots of small clan’s alchemists wanted to join big clans for their divine soul cultivation method’s and superior flame control techniques.
Yang Tian concentrated on maintaining his qi and essence. He delved into his sea of consciousness to find his divine soul sitting square inside the dimension. He consumed the soul refinement pill, which generated a burst of Divine Soul energy inside his sea of consciousness, covering the entire area.
Yang Tian’s divine soul opened its eyes and performed hand seals, summoning black chains. There was a suction force stirring. The chains settled into the soul qi field that tossed until a gigantic whirlpool was formed. The soul qi gathered at his divine soul. The potent and pure elixir helped his divine soul grow taller and gradually amplified the soul qi energy. Black mist enveloped his body. The elixir cleansed his divine soul, strengthening it. He was focused on cultivating, so he was oblivious to the chaos outside.
Yang Tian spent two days immersed in cultivation. The divine soul energy emissions gradually reduced. The majority of the elixir in his sea of conscious was gone. His divine soul was a fifth taller and fuller than before. Hours later, it suddenly moved. The divine soul energy that had been suppressed for a long time burbled as if it was ready to burst.
Yang Tian opened his eyes. He suppressed the stirring energy after it surged for a day. The soul refinement pill was impressive as predicted. He knew he was ready to ascend. Eyes on the residue energy, he shut his eyes again with his lips pursed. His divine soul’s activity intensified. The leaking soul energy landed on his forehead, changing it. His body felt as though it was in the tranquillity of nirvana.
Humans had seven soul stages: Blessing Star, Intelligence, Strength Soul, Central Soul, Essence Soul, Heroic Soul, Tempering Soul. Those made up the seven soul upgrade system. Through that process, one could progress to Soul Refinement.
It was said once one reached Sage Manifestation Realm in divine soul cultivation, they could manifest an almighty physical form of their divine soul outside their body. Rarely anyone on the continent reached that realm. It required one to cultivate following a certain method and had high requirements for divine soul sources. Many ended up losing their divine soul as a result of manifesting their divine soul outside of their body, which was why rarely anyone even tried reaching Sage Manifestation Realm.
One’s seven channels were distributed from head to toe.
Yang Tian’s divine soul shined as seven energy whirlpools. His qi grew more potent. His divine soul swayed as it tried to break free of a certain restraint. With the passing of time, the seven energy whirlpools intensified. When his qi was about to release its last ounce through his septum, he inhaled via his nose, gathering the residue soul energy in the vicinity into his body. The energy was able to subdue his divine soul, and make it squirm.
“Break!”
Yang Tian’s divine soul’s soul energy burst. A black light pillar dozens of metres tall emerged. His divine soul grew taller. Its aura was several folds stronger. He had reached Soul Tempering Realm.
“It’s a pity Uncle Xiao hasn’t woken up. I’d be able to cultivate a divine soul secret technique, otherwise.”

Pill Valley’s patriarch returned with injuries as he was ambushed. He had to use a large-scale defence technique to escape the fate of being buried there. The attack enraged Pill Valley. A turbulent aura began to stir in the city.
Nobody was certain if devils had returned to walk the continent. Pill Valley took part in sealing the devils back then, leading to the devils bearing a grudge against the former. If the devils were the assailants, Pill Valley was in peril.
