C17 Soul promotion

With the previous experience, Chen Xiao quickly grasped that feeling again. This time, he put most of his heart's energy into this.

This feeling was very strange. It was as though his entire person was enveloped in a layer of invisible barrier. It lessened the interference from the screeching of souls, allowing Chen Xiao's consciousness to suddenly become clear.

Chen Xiao knew that under such circumstances, her soul would definitely begin to transform itself. If she did not actively cooperate with such a change on her own, the time needed for such a change would be very long.

And if he were to consciously coordinate and change his mind, then this time would depend on a person's talent and effort. And at this moment, Chen Xiao was working hard. He was trying to figure out how to make this kind of feeling work. This feeling continued to expand until it reached the point where the soul screaming interference had no effect on him.

Of course, Chen Xiao knew that it was extremely difficult to completely get rid of the interference caused by soul attacks in a short period of time. However, as long as he could constantly reduce this interference, Chen Xiao's strength would gradually increase.

Chen Xiao constantly challenged her limits and constantly manipulated the most powerful magical equipment. She tried again and again. Each attempt felt very short, but the gains were also extremely great for him.

Following this feeling, Chen Xiao gradually moved his soul towards this feeling to control it. He realized that his entire mindset was gradually changing.

This sort of change caused his mind to become increasingly calm and composed. The impact of the soul wail seemed to be getting smaller and smaller.

Soon, the three flying swords were easily controlled by Chen Xiao. Immediately, she began controlling the fourth flying sword.

Chen Xiao's control began to become unstable. The four flying swords in the air looked like they were on the verge of collapsing, but Chen Xiao knew that he had made tremendous progress. The fact that he had managed to control three to four flying swords was an extremely powerful proof.

Chen Xiao remained calm as he faced the puppet calmly. He did not even frown when he was hit by the attacks. At this moment, his entire mind was on how to control the four flying swords.

And divine intents also affected the soul. It could be said that Chen Xiao's soul and divine intent were one and the same. If the divine intent was strong, the soul would be strong. If the divine intent was weak, the soul would be weak.

However, Chen Xiao's divine sense was not weak. It was just that it had been suppressed. If he wanted his divine sense to recover its strength, he could only strengthen his soul.

Gritting her teeth, she used all her strength to control the four flying swords once again. As time passed, the flying sword in Chen Xiao's hand became more and more fluid.

The smooth control of the four flying swords was already enough to reduce the pressure on Chen Xiao significantly. After all, by using the four flying swords, Chen Xiao was able to withstand the attack of the puppet in front of her. Although he would occasionally dodge a few times, it was already much better than the time when the stone chamber was full of chaotic space.

The fifth! Chen Xiao felt the suppression on his soul lessen as he immediately controlled the fifth flying sword.

The colourful divine lights of the five flying swords were finally fully displayed in front of the puppets. Although Chen Xiao was unable to use the divine light to attack the puppet of the trial, the sharpness of the spiritual sword, which had the divine light, was not something that the puppet of trash could compare to.

Very soon, a few puppets were slashed to the ground by Chen Xiao. Although those puppets with broken arms and legs did not give up their desire to attack Chen Xiao, their degree of damage was no longer a threat to Chen Xiao.

"This Five-Colored Spirit Sword's divine light is truly powerful!" Chen Xiao could not help but exclaim in admiration. At the same time, she began to look forward to the use of true divine light.

He knew that if he could truly control and use the divine light, then it would be a scene that would destroy the heaven and earth.

After slashing down a few more trial puppets, there were only twelve of them left in perfect condition in the stone chamber. However, Chen Xiao was not in a hurry to wipe them out.

This was the sixth magical item! If it was according to the strength of Chen Xiao's spiritual sense from before, controlling it would not have been difficult, but now, Chen Xiao was exerting all his strength.

Thankfully, the soul wail was getting weaker and weaker, and Chen Xiao's soul seemed to have become tougher. The toughness of the soul made Chen Xiao feel the clarity of his spiritual sense, and it was even more fluent than when he used it in the past.

Chen Xiao knew that it was likely that spiritual sense and soul belonged to the realm of the mind. It could be considered a single entity that was independent of and related to each other.

The Heaven Swallowing Gourd was controlled once again. Chen Xiao released all the magic she had stored in the stone room. Instantly, the room was filled with flames, snow, or thunder. In short, it was extremely interesting.

It had to be said that the spell in Chen Xiao's Heaven Swallowing Gourd could only be used as a normal attack in front of these puppets that had the strength of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. After all, the difference in power of the spell was too great.

On the other hand, Chen Xiao could use the multicolored spirit sword's divine light to exterminate all of the puppets. However, he did not wish to do so because after completely controlling the Heaven Swallowing Gourd, his gaze fell on the final artifact that he did not yet control.

At this moment, Chen Xiao's goal was very obvious. What he needed to do was to be able to control seven Dharma treasures with ease even under the suppression of the Soul Shriek.

Without any hesitation, the fan also slowly flew up. And Chen Xiao's soul and consciousness was pushed to the limits once again.

With this limitation, Chen Xiao suddenly felt his soul become abnormally firm, like a floating cloud. After being compressed and oppressed, it gradually began to solidify.

And the result of the soul becoming solid was that the soul's wail that interfered with Chen Xiao became very faint. It was as though she was about to lose feeling it.

However, the soul's transformation was not over yet; it was still continuing to change and condense.

His soul was actually advancing!

This was the thought that popped out from Chen Xiao's heart. If it were not for the advancement, it would not have had such a feeling. Whether it was the resistance of her soul wailing or the feelings of her soul at that moment, it was a true fact.

In the Immortal Illusion Continent, there were rumours of soul advancement. However, soul advancement happened to cultivators at the Large Success Stage. Chen Xiao had never even heard of a soul advancement occurring at the Nascent Soul Stage.

It was not just Chen Xiao who had never heard of it. Most of the cultivators in the Immortal Illusion Continent had probably never heard of it.

The advancement of the soul naturally had countless benefits. For example, one's ability to withstand psychic attacks would become stronger, while one's ability to control magic treasures would become even more flexible, as if their body was an extension of itself.

Gradually, at the location where the seven types of Spiritual Energies gathered, a pale yellow figure stood up. That was Chen Xiao's soul.

"He really did advance!" The moment she saw the pale yellow figure, Chen Xiao finally felt the acknowledgement in her heart.

Generally speaking, the souls of ordinary cultivators were white, the souls of cultivators specializing in the spiritual type were pale yellow. Once they were promoted, such as Soul Mutates, some souls would turn red, and on the Immortal Illusion Continent, the strongest soul force was gold.

With the strength of his golden soul, Chen Xiao could only think about it. Even so, he was feeling extremely excited.

The advancement of soul strength could be said to be the hardest part. Many powerhouses, even after reaching the Large Success stage, still had white soul strength, and this situation had happened quite a few times in the history of the Immortal Illusionary Continent.

Unless it was a Soul Mutate or someone constantly cultivating a spiritual-type secret technique, it was simply a pipe dream for an ordinary cultivator to raise the strength of their soul.

However, Chen Xiao had done it. Excited, he immediately controlled his five flying swords to quickly slaughter the puppets. Without the effects of the soul wail, Chen Xiao's consciousness recovered to its original state. It was even stronger than before, so controlling the artifacts was much smoother.

Of course, Chen Xiao knew that it was impossible for her soul to improve if this carried on. After all, the environment of the trial was already limited. If Chen Xiao wanted to improve, she could only find a place with more pressure, similar to a trial.

After cleaning up the puppets, the originally dark and gloomy environment gradually changed. Not long after, the environment recovered to its previous state.

However, the bodies of the puppets still lay on the ground, and they hadn't disappeared. Besides the puppets, everything just now had been specially created by someone else. Their goal wasn't to kill people, but to train trial-takers.

Chen Xiao walked over to one of the puppets on the ground and noticed that the aura of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator had disappeared. It seemed that the puppets could not function properly after their bodies had been damaged.

Looking at the over twenty broken corpses on the ground, Chen Xiao pondered for a moment before controlling the Heaven Swallowing Gourd to sweep away the puppet's corpse. Although the corpses of these trial puppets could not compare to Five-Colored Spirit Swords, they were still made from rare materials. Naturally, Chen Xiao refused to waste them like this.

And just as Chen Xiao finished collecting all the corpses, there was a loud bang. This time, what he saw was not a stone door, but an extremely heavy metal door.

From the looks of it, he seemed to be more cautious than the other stone rooms.

Chen Xiao smiled and did not hesitate as he continued walking in. He knew that regardless of success or failure, this trial had not been in vain. On the contrary, he had already reaped a bountiful harvest. He was very satisfied even if he failed.
