Chapter 626: Zhang Zhen’s Doubt, Condensing Divine bl**d
Looking at the swaying Sky Soul, Jiang Yongnian had thousands of words in his heart, but with his mouth sealed, he could only fall into silence.
“Xiancha, it seems quite difficult to achieve unity of heart and spirit.”
“When it’s difficult, the Sky Soul is equivalent to another body for you; controlling a completely unfamiliar body is inherently a challenging task.”
“Additionally, this is based on your Sky Soul not having materialized yet. If your Sky Soul were to materialize, it would be even harder to control.”
Glancing at his fluffy body, the Nine-Tailed Fire Fox spoke up: “Xiancha, what should I do next?”
“Very simple, use the Sky Soul to control the Fate Lamp to condense divine bl**d.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yao cautiously began to try.
She saw the Nine-Tailed Fire Fox exhale a red light that illuminated the multi-colored glass Fate Lamp.
As the red light shone, a drop of bl**d as red as a gem began to condense.
“Swish!”
Before the bl**d could fully condense, Xu Yao canceled the unity of spirit and heart with the Sky Soul.
“Xiancha, it seems that the speed at which the Sky Soul refines divine bl**d is not faster than my own!”
“That’s normal. The Sky Soul is an expression of your innate ability, so it’s essentially part of you.”
“Your speed will naturally not exceed yours.”
Hearing this, Xu Yao pouted and said, “If the speed is the same as mine, then what’s the use?”
“Logically, that’s true. However, what if you use your true self to control the Sky Soul?”
As soon as this was said, Xu Yao’s eyes widened.
“The true self can control the Sky Soul?”
“Why can’t the ‘true self’ control the Sky Soul? I just mentioned it; the ‘true self’ is another aspect of you.”
“To put it bluntly, the ‘true self’ is you.”
“Personality can only determine the direction of how you handle things, not the method of your cultivation.”
“If you can do something, why can’t the true self do it?”
Hearing this, Su You spoke up: “According to Xiancha, if the true self controls the Sky Soul, then combined with our own cultivation…”
“Then we would effectively be twice as fast as others.”
“Correct, but controlling the Sky Soul…”
“Poof!”
Before Chen Changsheng could finish his sentence, Jiang Yongnian suddenly spat out a mouthful of bl**d.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng casually threw out a ray of light to stabilize Jiang Yongnian, then continued speaking.
“Controlling the Sky Soul while cultivating the Fate Lamp is an extremely dangerous endeavor.”
“From a certain perspective, the Sky Soul is an external force, and having this external force act on the Fate Lamp is equivalent to using a kn*fe to cut flesh from the heart.”
“Once the heart and spirit are disturbed, it can lead to bl**d loss at best, or d*ath at worst.”
“Moreover, using the ‘true self’ to control the Sky Soul will double the difficulty; don’t attempt it easily without confidence.”
“What Jiang Yongnian just did is a negative example; you should not follow his lead.”
Jiang Yongnian: “……”
Could you please speak faster next time? Every time it ends up like this, I want to find a piece of tofu to smash my head against.
After internally venting for a moment, Jiang Yongnian wiped the bl**d off the corner of his mouth and spoke.
“Xiancha, can the process of condensing divine bl**d be performed internally?”
“Yes, but doing so can lead to madness.”
“While in unity with the Sky Soul, part of your spiritual sense will remain in your body.”
“If you divide your spiritual sense into two parts for a long time, over time, both parts will grow stronger.”
“Eventually, another version of you will appear in your mind.”
“If two identical versions of you fight in your mind, you will go insane.”
“Glug!”
Warm reminder: If you find this book good, to avoid not being able to find it next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf.

Jiang Yongnian struggled to swallow, then said, “Sir, how do you know so much about such situations?”
“Because I’ve been insane for three hundred years.”
Chen Changsheng revealed a brilliant smile as he spoke.
“At the very start, I also felt that condensing externally was inconvenient, so I tried to do it internally.”
“Then I went mad.”
“So how did you become sane again?”
“Of course, it was the people of the Four Directions Continent who saved me. At that time, I was viewed by them as useful, so they couldn’t let me go insane.”
“They went to great lengths to save me.”
“After managing to bring me back, they, to vent their anger, forcibly snapped one of my thigh bones.”
“If I remember correctly, it should have been from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.”
Everyone: “……”
After hearing so much, we really don’t know what to say.
It feels like the pain we encountered compared to yours is like the ocean to a drop of water.
To be honest, after experiencing so much suffering, how can you still be so normal?
Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “Is there anything else you want to ask?”
“If not, I have to go handle other matters.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yongnian quickly said, “Sir, I have a question.”
“Speak.”
“In the Four Directions Continent, the vast majority of people cultivate using the Sky Soul, so why is it not possible to cultivate in the Sea of Suffering?”
“The method you are using is simply a basic energy absorption.”
“Everyone here is a Heavenly Prodigy; ordinary people require meditative practices to operate their circulation.”
“But you have long reached the stage where you can operate circulation without meditation.”
“So, in essence, what drives your Sky Soul to cultivate is not your spiritual sense, but rather your constantly operating circulation.”
“With this kind of close energy behavior, there naturally won’t be any issues of spiritual sense splitting.”
“However, cultivating in the Divine Realm requires a unity of essence, energy, and spirit; without the participation of spiritual sense, how can you condense divine bl**d?”
After hearing this, Jiang Yongnian pondered for a moment and nodded thoughtfully.
“By the way, sir, have you thought of a solution?”
“Of course I have. To solve the problem of spiritual sense splitting, you need to take a step further.”
“To put it simply, when you can embody multitudes, yet still return to one, you can cultivate internally.”
“The sea of consciousness is the most miraculous place for living beings, and the heart of the Dao is even more profound.”
“If you can understand yourself better, then you will be able to achieve this step.”
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s words, everyone fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, “Alright, you all take your time to think.”
“The old fellows of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect won’t be back for a while, so during this time, you can focus on your cultivation.”
“Zhang Zhen, come with me.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhen immediately stood up and followed Chen Changsheng out of the residence.
—
Outside the Ten Thousand Beasts City.
Chen Changsheng walked leisurely, with Zhang Zhen silently following behind him.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Zhen spoke: “Why are you so familiar with the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect?”
“I was tortured in the Four Directions Continent for a million years; is there anything strange about being somewhat familiar with this place?”
“You were a prisoner in the Four Directions Continent, not a guest here.”
“Knowing some general things is acceptable, but you know the layout of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect like the back of your hand; that’s hard to explain.”
“Moreover, a person of your level, the Four Directions Continent would not confine you in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.”
