The three most important factors for an alchemist were their crucible, their flame, and their soul force. And the most important of these three was their soul force!
As long as one's soul power was strong enough, even if one didn't have strong flames or a powerful crucible, they could still refine the most powerful treasured elixir pills!
Crucible?
This was the glory of a top-notch apothecary!
Soul power originated from the soul. The higher the realm of the soul, the greater and purer the amount of soul power one could provide. Soul power was also the key to controlling one's own strength!
The stronger the soul force, the more power one could control. The purer the soul force, the more meticulous the control of the soul force!
Apothecaries were not only capable of refining pills, but their combat strength was also the strongest amongst all the cultivators. Because of the strength of one's soul force, it was extremely important to one's strength, especially those powerful techniques or cultivation techniques. Without a powerful soul force, one would not be able to cultivate and even if one could barely cultivate it, one would not be able to display much strength!
And if one's soul force is too strong, the prolongation of lifespan would also have a huge bonus. Soul cultivation techniques and secret techniques are absolutely powerful, and if one meets a cultivator of the same level with weaker soul force, they can even instantly kill the opponent!
For example, Yun Yang's soul had already reached the great circle of the Purple Soul Realm. If he were to meet any cultivators whose soul force was one level lower than his, he would be able to kill them with one strike, or at the very least heavily injured!
And this was the difference in strength and quality of the soul!
Some people had strong innate soul force. Some people even had souls that were born to be much higher than others. There were also some whose souls were born to be incomplete …
This kind of flaw was very difficult to change because it was determined by the innate experts. If one wanted to go against it, the difficulty level would be heaven-defying!
In the middle of the air, a stream of light flashed as he thought about the depths of nothingness where his transformation had already begun …
Travelling through the void was very dangerous. Endless space turbulence and unpredictable space storms could destroy all the thunder and lightning. If one wasn't careful, they would be doomed to never return.
However, crisis and opportunity coexist.
Even if it was the spirit treasure fragment itself, it did not lack the power of law. Under the fluctuations of various types of laws, Yun Yang's soul gradually grew stronger, the superpower that had always been viewed as useless had also grown stronger …
A formless spiritual vibration reverberated continuously in the small space of the spiritual treasure inside the jade slip. The fluctuation gradually became denser, and also silently assimilated some things, until at a certain moment, the dark space of the spiritual treasure lit up a little bit, and a purple-colored pill started to burn a flame that seemed to be able to destroy everything.
It was invisible and colorless, intangible and intangible, but it could refine everything and burn the void.
The lotus petals of the Jade Lotus Buddha seat began to close, layer by layer, tightly wrapping around that solid purple pill.
As time passed by, the purple pill gradually grew in size, then shrunk, then grew in size. After a couple of times, the invisible, colorless flame took shape, and a crystal-like, almost invisible, fluid-like flame was formed from the core of the jade piece. Now that it had undergone another transformation, it seemed to have an even more miraculous effect.
An incomparably crisp sound rang out from within the crystal-like flame. A transparent human figure slowly condensed in the center of the Jade Lotus Buddha throne, taking off its physical form. Its ethereal soul was even more tyrannical than before.
Nihility God, illusory god, and the soul of a deity.
The gods had an indestructible characteristic, because there was an indestructible thing within their souls — the Laws.
The power of law was something that could not be erased even if it was illegal. Killing a god required one to have a weapon that could kill a god. That was a artifact of law and a treasure of nature!
Absorbing the energy of nothingness to create one's own ethereal spiritual god and igniting one's own indestructible divine soul fire; this was the most difficult aspect of a soul's transformation to become a Nihility God.
In a world deep in nothingness, the moment one failed to transform, the serious consequences would be dire. The lightest one would severely injure the soul, and the heaviest one would instantly die.
Yun Yang's soul had completely transformed in the depths of the void, completely not touching the aura of the world. This provided the best foundation for him to condense the strongest divine soul flame, and the place he was at had directly become the best location.
Not only did this extremely powerful soul flame protect his soul, it also continued to absorb the energy around him, tempering and nourishing his soul. Furthermore, it had unwittingly completely refined the jade piece, causing it to become Yun Yang's object. The Law Energies that were hidden within it had also been drawn out, turning into Yun Yang's knowledge and strength.
The pure divine soul was slowly growing. Although its speed was extremely slow, it was extremely refined, making it difficult to destroy. It fully displayed its indestructible nature.
The speed at which the jade was moving was increasing, and it seemed like it was wearing out as it gradually shrank and accelerated. At the same time, the aura on the jade slowly disappeared, and under the effect of both internal and external forces, it looked completely new!
The continent was divided into five main continents: East, South, West, North and Central. The Central Region was the strongest and had an uncountable number of high level Spirit Masters. If one wanted to become a large sect in the Central Region, without a certain degree of strength, no one would recognize it.
The five continents had countless races. The sects had as many as the stars, and the countries alone numbered in the tens of thousands. These clans, sects, and empires all had their own levels and domains.
A clan needed to have an expert that could gain the approval of the surrounding clans. If one wanted to establish their own sect, a sect needed to have at least three times the power of the clan. An empire needed the support of at least three sects.
Without sufficient strength, even if you were as rich as a nation, you wouldn't be valued by those experts. With the respect from the big powers, you could hire a lot of cultivators to serve you, but it would be very difficult to gain their recognition.
All of this displayed the existence of power!
