Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 798 - 363: Domineering (Part 3)

This brutal soul-searching method is nothing short of torture for the person subjected to it, and it can even cause damage to the sea of consciousness.

"Ah—"

Xie Lu let out a heartrending scream as blood began to seep from her seven orifices.

Yet, True Monarch Wan Yang remained utterly unmoved.

Moments later, True Monarch Wan Yang withdrew his finger, and Xie Lu had already passed out completely.

"Interesting."

True Monarch Wan Yang obtained a wealth of information about Xu Ping through soul-searching, and the interest in his eyes grew even stronger.

Subsequently, True Monarch Wan Yang gathered some items from Xu Ping’s cave dwelling that bore his aura.

Then, he placed the items before him, forming complex seals with both hands, and began to perform a profound secret calculation technique.

As the spell circulated, mysterious fluctuations began to emanate from True Monarch Wan Yang, and those items started to glow faintly, resonating with a distant direction.

"The Celestial South Sea!"

True Monarch Wan Yang abruptly opened his eyes, a knowing glint flashed in them, and the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile,

"He really can run, making it to such a far place."

The Celestial South Sea is vast, with numerous islands, indeed a good place to hide.

However, escaping my pursuit won’t be that easy.

True Monarch Wan Yang let out a cold laugh and, with a flicker of his body, disappeared from Cyan Cloud Peak.

...

A month later, on that nameless island deep within the Celestial South Sea.

After months of busy work, the space stabilization array had finally been fully established.

The entire island was shrouded by a faint light screen, countless esoteric runes flickering and leaping on it, emanating a mysterious power that stabilized the space.

Xu Ping stood at the center of the array, looking up at the black spatial rift in mid-air, nodding in satisfaction:

"Not bad, this spatial passage has indeed stabilized a lot, and the turbulent spatial currents have reduced significantly."

Under the array’s influence, the once dangerous spatial passage became relatively safer.

The silver-white spatial turbulence still existed but had decreased substantially in both quantity and intensity, no longer as concentrated and violent as before.

"Indeed."

Hongyi also nodded with a smile, "Given the current level of stability, even passing through this spatial passage now would be quite safe."

"Of course, the safest approach is to wait a few more years for the space to stabilize completely."

The two stood at the edge of the array, gazing at the mysterious passage leading to the unknown world, emotions surging within their hearts.

Having cultivated in the Nanchuan Realm for many years, from Qi Cultivation to Nascent Soul, it was inevitable to feel a bit reluctant.

After a moment of silence, Xu Ping suddenly broke the slightly heavy atmosphere:

"Fellow Daoist Hong, the power of the Soul-Breaking Needle you used earlier was truly astonishing."

"Could you tell me a bit about its refining method?"

Hearing Xu Ping’s inquiry, Hongyi showed no hesitation or discomfort but nodded readily:

"Fellow Daoist Xu, there’s no need for formalities; the refining method of the Soul-Breaking Needle is not a precious secret technique."

"Since you are interested, I’ll record it in detail right away."

Saying that, Hongyi took out a blank jade slip, infused it with his divine sense, and began to record in detail the refining method of the Soul-Breaking Needle, the required materials, its usage techniques, and so on.

Moments later, he handed the jade slip to Xu Ping: "This contains all the information about the Soul-Breaking Needle; feel free to ponder over it."

"But I must remind you that the refining difficulty of this Soul-Breaking Needle is extremely high, and the materials required are extraordinarily rare, even I have only successfully refined one."

Xu Ping took the jade slip and immediately felt grateful: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Hong, for your generous gift."

"Haha, no need for such formal words, Fellow Daoist Xu."

Hongyi waved his hand with a smile, "It’s just the refining method of the Soul-Breaking Needle, not something particularly precious."

After a few more casual exchanges, Xu Ping took his leave and returned to his temporarily established cave dwelling to carefully study the refining method of the Soul-Breaking Needle.

Although simple, the cave dwelling had the advantage of being secluded and secure.

Xu Ping had laid multiple restrictions within the cave to ensure it wouldn’t be discovered by outsiders.

Sitting cross-legged on a rush cushion, he projected his divine sense into the jade slip, starting to study the contents in detail.

"So that’s it, the core material of the Soul-Breaking Needle turns out to be the legendary Moon Shadow Stone!"

A flash of surprise appeared in Xu Ping’s eyes.

The Moon Shadow Stone is an extremely rare, unique stone in the world, only forming under specific celestial phenomena, and its quantity is extremely scarce.

The main feature of this stone is that it perfectly conceals its aura so that even a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s divine sense can hardly detect it.

Due to this characteristic, the Soul-Breaking Needle forged from the Moon Shadow Stone can silently pierce through an enemy’s defenses, striking at the core of the divine soul within the sea of consciousness.

Not only are the materials precious, but the refining method is also extremely complex.

During refining, the constant nurturing of the needle with a cultivator’s divine sense is necessary, which is highly demanding; any mistake would result in failure.

"It seems that forging such a heaven-defying magical artifact is indeed not an easy task," Xu Ping couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

Despite the numerous challenges, he had no intention of giving up.

After all, his divine sense far surpassed that of ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators, let alone with his overpowered assistance panel.

While Xu Ping was intently studying the refining method of the Soul-Breaking Needle, an inexplicable dread suddenly washed over him, making his hair stand on end.

The feeling came out of nowhere but was exceptionally intense, as if some tremendous danger was approaching.

"What’s going on?"

Xu Ping suddenly opened his eyes, knitting his brows tightly.

This uneasy feeling was very intense; it was definitely not a mere illusion or hallucination.

"Could it be because of the Heaven-Suppressing Sect?"

A dreadful thought flashed through Xu Ping’s mind, causing his face to become instantly grave, like still water.
