70: Soul talent? I already had it from the beginning!

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

The cold wind howled, and heavy snow fluttered down.

The Peak of Tianshan Mountain, Tianshan Pavilion.

Lin Yi obediently followed behind Wang Yu, braving the cold wind and heavy snow. After walking for a full quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at a new location.

This was a massive ice and snow plaza, even larger than the valley where the myriad laws stone wall was previously located.

In the plaza, a gigantic black stone pillar stood on the ground, its diameter exceeding ten meters and its height over two hundred meters, seeming to connect the earth and the sky.

Within a few hundred meters surrounding the black stone pillar, Martial Artists—male and female, young, middle-aged, or old—were gritting their teeth, their eyes bloodshot, and their faces contorted in pain as they approached the central black pillar that pierced the sky.

Some of these Martial Artists were even trembling violently from the pain, yet they still gritted their teeth and struggled forward.

“Is this the last of the three treasures of tianshan? The item that can enhance Divine Soul power, coveted even by the Peak powers of the Jiuzhou World?”

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi was stunned.

Because this treasure didn't look like something that enhanced Divine Soul power; it looked more like something used to torture people! Had Teacher Wang brought him to the wrong place?

“Heh heh, what's wrong, Lin Yi? Surprised?”

Seeing Lin Yi's expression, Wang Yu smiled slightly:

“Don't worry! I didn't bring you to the wrong place. This treasure is indeed the last of the three treasures of tianshan, the martial emperors relic that enhances Divine Soul power and is coveted by the Peak powers of the Jiuzhou World—the willpower stone pillar!”

“What! This martial emperors relic is called the willpower stone pillar!”

Hearing this name, Lin Yi's heart shook. He almost cried out in surprise, feeling his entire mind suddenly go blank.

Because at this moment, he suddenly remembered the Azure-level Talent he had drawn while at the Dongshan Martial Academy—“Will Growth”!

Lin Yi had drawn that talent over a month ago, but during this entire month, he hadn't found it to have any effect.

But now, the treasure among the three treasures of tianshan that boosts Divine Soul power was actually named the “willpower stone pillar.” Could there be a connection between Will and Divine Soul?

Thinking this, Lin Yi felt both shock and pleasant surprise. He immediately posed the question to Wang Yu.

“That's right!”

Hearing this, Wang Yu nodded with a smile and replied:

“Will is indeed related to the Divine Soul, and furthermore, it's a very significant relationship!”

“A very significant relationship?”

Hearing this answer, Lin Yi immediately grew more excited. He didn't dare interrupt Wang Yu again, instead standing aside and listening silently with anticipation.

Wang Yu continued to explain with a smile:

“Lin Yi, do you know that whether it's Martial Artists from Peak powers like the Buddhist Sects and Daoist Sacred Land in our Nine Provinces Continent, or Martial Artists from powers much weaker than our Heavenly Mountain Sect, they generally only have two ways to enhance their Divine Soul power.”

“The first is by consuming Heaven And Earth Treasure that boosts the Divine Soul, or Medicinal Pills refined from such Heaven And Earth Treasure.”

“After all, Heaven And Earth Treasure are inherently Heaven-Defying treasures formed by gathering the essence of heaven and earth and the spiritual energy of all creation.”

“Every Heaven And Earth Treasure has incredible effects. Specifically, Heaven And Earth Treasure that enhance the Divine Soul are considered among the most precious and top-tier items within all Heaven And Earth Treasure.”

“For instance, if an ordinary Martial Artist consumes a common Divine Soul-boosting Heaven And Earth Treasure, that Martial Artist's Divine Soul power will immediately increase greatly, leading to a huge boost in Comprehension Ability, granting special abilities like photographic memory and the ability to infer other things from one example, instantly transforming them from a mediocre ordinary person into a Genius.”

“As for those top-tier Divine Soul-boosting Heaven And Earth Treasure, they can grant us Martial Artists an unimaginable increase in Divine Soul power!”

“It's even possible for us First-Rank Martial Artists to ascend in a single step, with our Divine Soul power leaping directly from the level of an ordinary First-Rank Martial Artist to the level of an Innate expert!”

“Unfortunately, Heaven And Earth Treasure are inherently extremely rare, and Divine Soul-boosting Heaven And Earth Treasure are the cream of the crop among them, truly priceless and hard to find. Let alone us, it's difficult even for Innate experts to acquire a single piece!”

“Therefore, most First-Rank Martial Artists who wish to achieve a Breakthrough to the Innate realm generally adopt the second method: indirectly enhancing the strength of their Divine Soul power by tempering and improving their Will!”

Pausing here, Wang Yu's gaze turned slightly fervent as he looked toward the distant willpower stone pillar:

“Will—some call it ‘Belief,’ and others call it the ‘Dao Heart’!”

“It is something that exists independently of the Martial Artist's three treasures—Essence, Qi, and Spirit—and is even more profound and elusive than the Divine Soul.”

“It is formless and intangible, without color or appearance, yet it truly exists!”

“It is rumored that if Will is strong enough to reach a certain level, such as the level attained by Martial God Lord thousands of years ago.”

“Then, when dealing with Innate Martial Artists, they wouldn't need to lift a finger. Just a glance, and their powerful Willpower would be enough to cause any Innate expert's consciousness to collapse, their Divine Soul to shatter, and their Physical Body to perish.”

“While the Willpower of us descendants cannot possibly reach the standard of Martial God Lord, as long as our Willpower exceeds a certain benchmark, that powerful Will is sufficient for us to interfere with reality, affecting our Divine Soul and even our Physical Body, thereby causing our own Divine Soul power to grow rapidly, or causing a transformation in our Physical Body cultivation Aptitude.”

“Of course, the Divine Soul is, after all, intangible and immaterial, while the Physical Body is a tangible substance that exists in reality.”

“Therefore, the difficulty of using Willpower to affect the Physical Body is much higher than affecting the Divine Soul. Even among Innate experts, probably few can manage to affect their Physical Body.”

“So generally speaking, the main purpose of boosting Willpower is still to help enhance a Martial Artist's Divine Soul power.”

“And that willpower stone pillar is recognized throughout the Jiuzhou World as one of the best treasures for tempering Willpower below the Innate realm!”

After speaking, a trace of pride flashed across Wang Yu's face.

On the other side, Lin Yi was somewhat dazed after hearing Wang Yu's explanation.

At this moment, his eyes held excitement and joy, but also a hint of confusion:

“Will and the Divine Soul—they actually have this kind of relationship?”

“Improving Will can actually improve the Divine Soul?”

“It turns out that the Divine Soul Talent I've been desperately searching for, I already possessed from the very beginning!”
