Qin Chen was momentarily stunned, not expecting the ancestor of the Ji family to have such instructions at the end. Obviously, they didn’t want to get involved in the karma of having Ji Hongchen lift the Soul Imprint.
But, was he really that terrifying?
Qin Chen murmured to himself, feeling somewhat speechless. However, since Ji Hongchen had shown goodwill, he naturally wouldn’t be stingy. He immediately raised his hand, and a piece of purple spiritual liquid flew out, hovering in front of Ji Hongchen.
"This is the Ji family's forbidden ground spiritual liquid, which has many benefits for cultivation. You can use it for your baptism."
This purple spiritual liquid has the effect of solidifying cultivation and altering the physical body. It was a treasure obtained by the Ji family's ancestor from the celestial realm. Since Ji Hongchen had just broken through to the mid-stage Martial God, undergoing this purple night baptism would certainly help solidify her cultivation and avoid any foundational instability.
Ji Hongchen’s eyes brightened as she connected with it. Immediately, streams of purple liquid began to enter her body.
“Aunt, I will protect you.” Ji Ruyue said happily, glad that Qin Chen and Ji Hongchen could put their past behind them, smiling as she spoke.
Qin Chen didn’t waste time and began to digest the information in his mind.
After sitting there for a long time, Qin Chen finally digested the memory of the Heavenly Soul Forbidden Technique. He opened his eyes, and his expression was very calm.
"Heavenly Soul Forbidden Technique!"
Qin Chen muttered to himself. This technique was specifically for cultivating the soul and took a unique approach, actually aiming to forcibly split the soul.
One must know that the soul is a whole; once split, it would cause tremendous damage to the soul. The lightest consequence could lead to confusion of the mind and scattering of the soul, while the heaviest could result in the soul being shattered, leading to instant death.
However, the Heavenly Soul Forbidden Technique was different; it could split the soul without affecting the martial artist’s soul instincts. It would only weaken the soul’s power, but a weakened soul could be independently cultivated, allowing each split soul to become less fragile and restore its original strength.
In this way, one soul becomes one, and when two souls are separated, only half of one remains. Yet once all are cultivated back to one, they would become two.
When the separated souls re-consolidate, they would unleash terrifying power.
Moreover, this was merely the simplest benefit of soul splitting. More importantly, once the soul is split, different souls can explore different domains. For instance, if the soul is divided into two, one can cultivate martial arts while the other studies alchemy, with no interference, but both can simultaneously enhance their strength.
This was only two souls; what if there were more? How terrifying would that be? Once combined, the results would not simply be one plus one equals two but far exceed two.
However, the process of splitting the soul is extremely painful, very arduous, and exceedingly domineering. A small mistake could lead to the soul being shattered, something that ordinary people would not be able to cultivate.
Even among the celestial families to which the Ji family's ancestor belonged, there were few who dared to practice it. Although with the background of celestial families, a mistake in cultivation wouldn’t necessarily lead to the soul being shattered, it would likely only cause soul damage. But just the thought of soul damage was something they were unwilling to risk.
Once a mistake is made, it could cause a top-tier talent to fall into the mortal realm, becoming an ordinary person for the rest of their life, with no chance of rising again.
This forbidden technique is a double-edged sword; if used well, it can harm others, but if used poorly, it will harm oneself.
"With my current cultivation, it seems I still cannot practice the Heavenly Soul Forbidden Technique. I can only utilize the secret method within this technique to simply purify soul power."
