133: Chapter 133 The Soul-Refining Undying Scripture!

Chen Zhiwen did not hesitate in the slightest; his Protective Aura spread across his entire body, and he stepped into that unknown Void Realm.

After a bout of dizziness, the scene before his eyes suddenly opened up.

This was a silent, independent dimensional Void Realm. There was no heaven or earth, no sun or moon, only endless darkness and deathly stillness.

In the center of this void floated an ancient, simple bronze book.

The book was cast from an unknown material, emitting an immortal, divine radiance. Mysterious runes flowed across the pages, as if expounding upon the most fundamental mysteries of the Soul in the universe. The pulsing of each rune caused this void to resonate, emitting bursts of divine Dao sounds.

A terrifying aura and brilliant divine light permeated from the book, and the divine light outlined a colossal, unimaginably complex Formation within the void.

In the center of the Formation, shockingly, was locked a skeleton of horrifying size!

The skeleton was humanoid but stood a hundred zhang tall, its entire body possessing a dark golden, glazed texture, as if cast from the hardest divine metal in the world. Even though it had been dead for endless years, faint black Qi still lingered upon the skeleton, emitting a royal pressure sufficient to make even a Great Grandmaster collapse!

Between its brows, it was born with nine orifices, seemingly echoing the stars of the Nine Heavens, containing some sort of innate supreme Divine Power!

"Soul Tempering Undying Scripture! It is actually the legendary Soul Tempering Undying Scripture!" The zhandao sword spirit's voice became sharp with extreme shock, "That is the Origin of the Soul Refining Dao in the Desolate Province, the true source scripture!"

"And that skeleton... born with nine orifices, an immortal divine body... I cannot be mistaken, this is the supreme royal family of the Remnant Clan—the Indestructible Dark Clan! This clan is born with the number one Soul Refining talent in all the heavens and myriad worlds!"

The zhandao sword spirit paused, then roared in an almost frantic tone, "Master! Possession! Immediately possess this Indestructible Dark Clan corpse! This Formation and this ancient scripture have suppressed it for eternity, grinding away its remnant Soul, yet they have preserved its purest Physical Body Origin and talent imprint! This is a supreme Dao foundation tailored for you!"

"Once you succeed in Possession, your Soul will fuse with this divine skeleton, and you will possess the Indestructible Dark Clan's unique, heaven-gifted Soul Refining talent! By then, Cultivating this Soul Tempering Undying Scripture will surely progress a thousand miles a day, and there will be no more Bottlenecks on the path of Soul Refining!"

Chen Zhiwen's heart began to beat violently at this moment.

Body Refining, Qi Refining, and Soul Refining, practicing all three paths simultaneously!

In the Desolate Province, this was a legend that existed only in theory! Because human energy is limited, and because no one's talent could simultaneously balance the three major systems.

But now, a massive Opportunity was laid out before him!

"How do I perform Possession?" Chen Zhiwen's voice was steady, but his eyes burned with a raging fire of ambition.

"Master, you only need to extend your Divine Soul and approach the nine orifices between the skeleton's brows. Leave the rest to me and the prison suppressing pagoda!" the sword's voice was full of confidence.

Chen Zhiwen took a deep breath and hesitated no longer.

He sat cross-legged, a flash of light appearing between his brows, and a small golden Divine Soul figure, identical to his own face, stepped out and flew toward the towering, dark golden skeleton.

The closer he got, the more terrifying the royal pressure became. Even though it was just an empty shell, its instinctive pressure was enough to crush the Divine Soul of an ordinary Grandmaster.

But Chen Zhiwen's Divine Soul, having been tempered by the "Sacred Ancient Imperial Art," was incredibly resilient; he endured the pressure and arrived before the skeleton's brow.

"Now! prison suppressing pagoda, suppress its Origin! Zhandao, sever its remnant thoughts!"

Following the sword's shout, the prison suppressing pagoda in Chen Zhiwen's Spirit Sea flew out violently, turning into a black light, instantly appearing in the void, expanding against the wind until it was as huge as a mountain, and fiercely suppressing the top of the Indestructible Dark Clan skeleton's head!

"Hum—"

The skeleton shuddered violently, and that royal pressure was instantly suppressed by ninety percent!

At the same time, the dao-slaying sword also turned into a stream of light, rapidly spinning around the nine orifices of the skeleton's brow, emitting bursts of clear sword chimes. Threads of black remnant thoughts, almost invisible to the naked eye, were completely severed and purified by the sword light!

"Master, enter!"

Chen Zhiwen's small Divine Soul figure did not hesitate, turning into a streak of golden light, and instantly rushed into the central orifice between the skeleton's brows!

"Boom!"

An indescribable, intense pain instantly swept through Chen Zhiwen's entire consciousness!

His Divine Soul felt as if it had been thrown into a massive furnace, being forcibly decomposed and reorganized by an ancient and overbearing power!

The Indestructible Dark Clan's Bloodline talent imprints, like pieces of a mysterious puzzle, began to fuse with his Soul Origin.

This process was painful to the extreme, as if he had experienced thousands of Reincarnations and extinctions. But Chen Zhiwen's will was as firm as a rock, holding firmly to a sliver of clarity in his spiritual platform, allowing that power to reshape his Soul.

He did not know how long had passed; perhaps it was an instant, perhaps it was ten thousand years.

When that tearing pain slowly receded, it was replaced by a sense of unprecedented power and clarity!

Chen Zhiwen felt his Divine Soul undergo a heaven-turning, earth-shattering transformation. If his previous Divine Soul was a piece of hard refined iron, now it was an immortal divine sun hanging above the Nine Heavens!

His Mental Energy surged at an inconceivable speed!

With a single thought, he could clearly perceive the Law fluctuations of every inch of space in this dimensional Void Realm. The entire world, in his perception, had become different.

"Success..."

Chen Zhiwen slowly opened his eyes; he was still sitting cross-legged in place, but his aura now carried a hint of eternal, immortal charm.

He reached out and summoned, and the Soul Tempering Undying Scripture floating in the air turned into a stream of light and flew into his hand. As the ancient book departed, the magnificent giant Formation that had suppressed the skeleton shattered inch by inch, turning into a rain of light that merged into Chen Zhiwen's body.

The huge Indestructible Dark Clan skeleton also lost its divinity, turning into a dark golden stream of light that poured into the space between his brows.

Chen Zhiwen opened the first page of the ancient scripture, and lines of mysterious text seemed to come alive, turning into the trajectories of the Dao, deeply branded into the depths of his Soul.

With the Indestructible Dark Clan's terrifying Soul Refining talent, this supreme treasure, hailed as the Origin of Soul Refining, no longer held any obscurity or difficulty for him.

"The Soul is the spirit of heaven and earth, the beginning of all things..."

Chen Zhiwen sat cross-legged and began to formally Cultivate the Soul Tempering Undying Scripture.

He would become the first person in the Desolate Province's eternal history to truly practice all three paths: Body Refining, Qi Refining, and Soul Refining!

Time, in this independent void, seemed to have lost its meaning.

Chen Zhiwen's Soul Refining Realm began to climb crazily at a shocking speed.

Ninth Grade... Seventh Grade... Fifth Grade...

Qi Ling Realm!

Innate Realm!

Grandmaster Realm!

When he had thoroughly comprehended the general outline of the entire Soul Tempering Undying Scripture, his Soul Refining cultivation advanced like a hot knife through butter, finally stopping steadily at...

Peak Grandmaster!

He was only one step away from the Great Grandmaster Realm!

Chen Zhiwen slowly opened his eyes, and a golden divine radiance, almost materialized, shot out from his eyes, piercing a tiny black hole through the void in front of him.

Feeling the three distinct yet subtly compatible powerful forces within his body, a confident arc curled at the corner of his mouth.
