Chapter 263: Chapter 263: The 2nd Soul Split

"Blazing Fire Divine Decree!"

"This is actually a Heavenly Level Supreme Cultivation Technique, and it’s a Fire Control Technique."

"It involves fire control, spiritual soul tempering, as well as the legacy of alchemy and artifact refining. It seems that the owner of the Descension Cave Mansion was an alchemist and artifact refiner."

Lin Chen said indifferently, and then he began to cultivate this Heavenly Skill Technique.

Lin Chen’s comprehension and talent were excellent. He quickly completely absorbed the Blazing Fire Divine Decree and learned it.

Compared to the Primordial Transformation Art, the Blazing Fire Divine Decree was not particularly stunning, but in the entire Great Flame Dynasty, there had never been a Heavenly Skill Technique available, let alone a Heavenly Top Grade.

Having acquired the Primordial Transformation Art, Lin Chen really didn’t care much for the Blazing Fire Divine Decree, but he was somewhat interested in its fire control methods.

However, this technique, being a Heavenly Top Grade Cultivation Technique, was much more powerful than the Jade Bird Peak’s Illuminating Cold Moon Decree, and Lin Chen could teach it to his master and senior sisters later on.

It is important to note that the Blazing Fire Divine Decree was not subject to any restrictions, and the inheritor could completely teach it to someone else.

In the Mysterious Heaven Continent, to prevent the core techniques of powerful sects from being secretly learned by others, they would limit the techniques when being passed down to disciples. They would require the disciples to swear poisonous oaths that they would not pass the techniques down to others without permission; otherwise, they would suffer backlash from the Blood Oath Curse, and their cultivation would turn to nothing.

In the Mysterious Heaven World, Blood Oaths are of utmost importance. Once a Blood Oath is made, the forces of heaven and earth form a shackle, and upon breaking the oath, it will be triggered.

However, this Blazing Fire Divine Decree, a Heavenly Top Grade Technique, has no such restrictions, which is what makes it so powerful.

Lin Chen was secretly looking forward to seeing what realm his master and senior sisters could break through to once they received the Blazing Fire Divine Decree.

When a martial artist breaks through their cultivation, the more powerful the technique they train with, the easier the breakthrough will be. That’s why in the Cultivation World, martial artists with exceptional talent in major sects progress much faster in their cultivation than those in lesser sects; they receive legacy techniques that are not passed down.

However, there is one issue – Ma Yuan has also obtained this technique. If he returns to the Black Cloud Sect and passes this technique on to them, then when the martial artists of the Black Cloud Sect grow stronger, it will undoubtedly pose a massive threat to the Jade Cauldron Sect.

But given the character of a demon cultivator like Ma Yuan, he is unlikely to share the technique with others.

After all, even Lin Chen, upon returning to the Jade Cauldron Sect, only thought about passing the technique to his master and senior sisters; he knows all too well the principle that an innocent man is guilty of the crime of possessing a jewel.

If too many people know that Lin Chen has a Heavenly Top Grade Technique, it may not be a good thing and could instead bring danger upon him.

After cultivating the technique from the first scroll, Lin Chen turned his attention to the second scroll.

Lin Chen reached out to touch the scroll, closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and silently received the technique contained within it.

This time, the inheritance he received was the Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique, which included the techniques from the Fourth Layer to the Sixth Layer, but it lacked the Seventh Layer to the Ninth Layer. It seemed that the owner of this site did not possess the complete Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique, only the first six layers.

With Lin Chen’s extraordinary talent, it took him three days to master the middle three layers of the Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique.

This Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique is indeed bound by a Blood Oath Curse, preventing its transfer to anyone else. Lin Chen inwardly lamented the fact; otherwise, if this technique were made known to the world, countless Alchemists, Artifact Refiners, and Formation Masters would desperately seek to obtain it from him.

Now that Lin Chen had cultivated the Sixth Level of the Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique, his Divine Soul had directly broken through to the strength of the Reverting Void Realm Sixth Layer, incredibly powerful.

However, the most powerful aspect of the Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique was not just the strengthening of the Divine Soul; it contained a Secret Technique that allowed one to create a Second Soul.

This Second Soul bears almost no difference from the original one. As long as the Second Soul is not extinguished, even if Lin Chen were to be killed, he could transfer his original Divine Soul and be reborn through the Second Soul—an extraordinarily formidable technique.

One must know that on the Mysterious Heaven Continent today, there are many methods circulating about rebirth by possessing another body should one’s physical body be destroyed, but those pertain to a ruined body with the Divine Soul left intact.

If a Martial Artist’s Divine Soul were to be destroyed by someone, not even deities could save them, and they would be thoroughly erased from existence.

However, this technique of the Second Soul could indeed save one’s life.

"This truly is a heaven-defying life-saving measure. With it, I essentially have a second life!"

Lin Chen, feeling somewhat excited, wasted no further words and directly began to use the Soul Splitting Technique.

To cultivate this Second Soul, one must draw out a strand from the original soul and then allow it to exist independently in the world.

Soul extractions entail enduring endless pain similar to the feeling of having one’s Divine Soul destroyed.

However, not all stages of Martial Artists are capable of performing a Soul Split. Martial Artists in the Body Refining Realm, Spirit Gathering Realm, and even those with Divine Souls in the Melding Earth Realm are too weak. If they forcibly attempted a Soul Split, it might result in the immediate splitting and damage of the Divine Soul—at best they would become senseless fools with fractured Divine Souls, devoid of self-consciousness, and at worst, they would die on the spot, their Divine Souls extinguished.

Even for those with Cultivation beyond the Heaven-reaching Realm, because their Divine Souls are strong, it is difficult to extract. Even if they acquired this Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique, they would be unable to perform the secretive Soul Splitting Technique.

Lin Chen gritted his teeth and immediately began the process of extracting his Divine Soul. Although his Cultivation was only at the Melding Earth Realm First Layer, Lin Chen’s Divine Soul far surpassed that of Martial Artists in the same realm.

"Ah——"

As the secret art of Soul Splitting was performed, Lin Chen’s head felt as if it would explode, his Divine Soul tore with great agony assaulting him, a pain that was not just physical, but also mental.

Humm——

As a purple light separated from Lin Chen’s Divine Soul, the Soul Splitting Technique was finally successful.

Lin Chen beckoned with his hand, and a shadowy soul, like an infant curled within the womb, appeared in his palm.

This was Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division. As long as he found a suitable vessel, Lin Chen could nourish it and let it grow into a body for his second soul, which could cultivate independently.

The Second Soul Division would possess all of Lin Chen’s memories, but many things Lin Chen owned, such as the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron in his Soul Sea and the acquired Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique, it might not necessarily be able to possess.

Even so, this split soul remains remarkably powerful. Lin Chen was incredibly eager for its future accomplishments.
