Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Chapter 706: Chapter 360: Advancement to Purple Mansion, The Origin of Jade Bead [Subscription Requested]_2

But the soul of a cultivator who sits in meditation all year round is often extraordinarily robust and resilient, nourished by the vitality of the flesh and mana.

And it’s not easy to awaken such a strong soul.

Therefore, many cultivators who are opening their Purple Mansion will use some spiritual objects that help stimulate the awakening of the soul for convenience.

However, Zhou Chun didn’t have that kind of convenience at the moment.

He had also inquired about the effects of “Snow Soul Pill”; it should be used for nourishing the soul after awakening it, and for assisting the transformation of the soul after it relocates to the Purple Mansion.

Therefore, the best time to take the pill is after awakening the soul.

Without spiritual objects to aid the awakening of the soul, Zhou Chun could only use the most traditional method, cultivating the Visualization Map.

The Visualization Map is something every cultivator practices when they first begin their cultivation journey.

Because cultivators have difficulty settling their minds to meditate when they first come into contact with cultivation, and practicing the Visualization Map helps them calm and focus their minds, adapting to the practice.

But generally, once cultivators are able to meditate with a calm mind, they need not practice the Visualization Map anymore.

Now, Zhou Chun needed to awaken his own soul through the deep meditative state of practicing the Visualization Map.

Whether he could do it or not, nobody knew at that moment.

Time slowly passed, one day, two days, three days…

The first attempt, Zhou Chun persisted for twenty-seven days, but eventually, his mind was truly too exhausted to continue and he had to stop.

After resting for three days, Zhou Chun once again started to enter the meditative state.

The second time, Zhou Chun persisted for thirty-eight days and then took five days to recover.

On the third attempt, Zhou Chun lasted for forty-eight days, and this time it took a full seven days to recover.

The fourth time, Zhou Chun continued for fifty-five days straight.

Just when he thought he would fail again, suddenly a unique feeling of suspension washed over him, and then he “saw” his own seated body.

This sight was not like the scanning of one’s Divine Sense, but as if actually seeing with one’s eyes.

And Zhou Chun instantly realized that he had succeeded.

At that moment, his perspective was that of his soul overlooking his own body.

Understanding this, he didn’t dare to look any further and quickly returned his soul to his body.

Indeed, as soon as his soul returned to his body, Zhou Chun was flooded with a sensation of weakness, as if he had just fought a great battle.

This was quite normal since his soul had just been in a semi-ethereal state, impacted by the external atmosphere.

However, this was not a big deal; with some rest, he would fully recover.

After half a month of recuperation, Zhou Chun’s condition had fully returned to normal.

At that time, the moment to open his Purple Mansion had truly come.

Once the soul has been awakened once, it will be very easy to awaken it again.

But awakening the soul isn’t anything special, the real achievement lies in opening the Purple Mansion and relocating the soul inside it, successfully transforming it into the Divine Soul.

Zhou Chun sat cross-legged, raised his hand, and placed the “Snow Soul Pill” in his mouth to hold, then he concentrated his mind on his Dantian, with his Divine Sense carrying the Golden Soup Mana from inside the Dantian surging up, forming a long river rushing straight into the Niwan Palace.

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded from within Zhou Chun’s Niwan Palace, and the previously tightly closed Niwan Palace was forcibly opened by an overwhelming force.

A golden torrent flooded into Niwan, like a raging river breaking open the earth, carving out a channel where none had been before.

Following that, a faint golden figure also stepped onto the torrent and onto the terra firma of Niwan Palace.

He appeared like a deity from myths, with a wave of his hand he redirected the torrent, and with a thought, palaces were built, seeming omnipotent.

Inside the secret room, the “Snow Soul Pill” in Zhou Chun’s mouth had been crushed and swallowed without knowing when.

Meanwhile, inside his Niwan Palace, that deity-like faint golden figure had already appeared in a majestic and grand palace, sitting high upon the throne.

Streams of golden mist emerged from the void around him, absorbed by the faint golden figure.

With every wisp incorporated, his form seemed to become more solid.

I don’t know how long had passed, but when the golden haze in the void ceased to breed, the pale golden figure had condensed into a solid form.

Without a doubt, that was Zhou Chun’s likeness, identical to his physical appearance.

The difference was that this version of him emanated a sense of majestic sanctity, as if he were a supreme deity.

This was the Divine Soul, Zhou Chun’s Divine Soul!

With the Purple Mansion open, the Divine Soul emerged.

Unknowingly, Zhou Chun had completed the opening of the Purple Mansion and successfully broken through to the Purple Mansion Phase.

At this moment, his upper and lower Dantians were connected, with his Divine Soul residing high in the Purple Mansion, dominating his entire body.

His Mana, which could no longer grow, had been rejuvenated and purified with the breakthrough of the realm’s shackles.

“Is this the wondrous use of the Divine Soul?”

In the secret room, with a thought, Zhou Chun shut down all the neuronal cells in his left hand, and then with his right-hand fingernails flashing with golden light, he sliced across his left wrist. A line of blood appeared.

But he did not feel any pain.

It was not until he reactivated the neurons in his left hand that the pain transmitted into his Divine Soul and was perceived by him.

Of course, the marvelous uses of the Divine Soul did not stop there.

In terms of Divine Sense, Zhou Chun’s range now suddenly expanded to nearly twenty-four miles, almost four thousand Zhang!

Although this increase was not as significant as the leap from Qi Refinement Realm to Foundation Establishment Stage, it had almost tripled.

The key point was that now the scanning precision of the Divine Sense was stronger.

In the past, the Divine Sense could detect things as thin as a strand of hair, but now it could clearly discern objects ten times finer than a hair strand.

Moreover, now that the Divine Soul was in place, seated in the Purple Mansion, all those low-level illusions, certain Demon Beasts’ disguise talents, common secret techniques for hiding cultivation levels and appearances would all be unable to conceal themselves from Zhou Chun, allowing him to discern the truth at a glance.

After a brief trial of the Divine Sense’s marvelous uses, Zhou Chun’s thoughts moved, and suddenly he turned his Divine Sense inward, casting it toward the Jade Bead in his Dantian.

As before, when the Divine Sense surged towards the Jade Bead, it encountered tremendous resistance.

But this time it was not repelled outright as it had been before.

There’s a chance!

Zhou Chun felt elated in his heart and immediately channeled his Divine Sense with all his might towards the Jade Bead.

Boom!

Suddenly, a roaring sound exploded deep within Zhou Chun’s Divine Soul, followed by a vast inflow of information into his Divine Soul.

Luckily, he was now in the Purple Mansion Phase, with his Divine Soul having manifested; otherwise, being infused with so much information at once could have turned him into a fool or caused him to faint.

At that moment, he felt only a slight swelling in his Divine Soul, which quickly returned to normal.

He then began to sort through the information that had flooded into his consciousness.

After sorting it out, Zhou Chun found that the information was divided into two parts: one was a spell for refining and manipulating a Spiritual Treasure called the Moon Toad Pearl.

The other part was a secret technique named “Sacred Spirit Nine Transformations – Moon Toad Chapter.”

Speaking of the refining spell, it undoubtedly pertained to the refinement of the Jade Bead within Zhou Chun’s body, finally resolving a question in his heart, determining the grade of the Jade Bead, and learning its name.

Unfortunately, the spell to refine the “Moon Toad Pearl” was incredibly profound, requiring at least a Cultivator in the Golden Core Stage.

Therefore, Zhou Chun could only look at it for now; it was entirely out of his reach to utilize.

As for the secret technique “Sacred Spirit Nine Transformations – Moon Toad Chapter,” it truly astounded Zhou Chun.

Because this secret technique was very similar to the “Dragon Transformation Secret Technique” he was cultivating, it also involved infusing the Spirit Blood of the powerful Demon Beast, the Greater Yin Moon Toad, into one’s body to cultivate the technique.

According to the description, once the technique was successfully cultivated and supported by the Spiritual Treasure “Moon Toad Pearl,” one could activate the technique to transform into a Greater Yin Moon Toad, wielding the powerful Divine Skills inherent to the Demon Beast.

Moreover, after changing into the Demon Beast, it would not affect the Cultivator’s use of Dharma Treasures.

Of course, to cultivate the “Sacred Spirit Nine Transformations – Moon Toad Chapter” secret technique, one would also need at least a Golden Core Stage Cultivation Level, plus the Spirit Blood of the Greater Yin Moon Toad, or spirit blood from a Demon Beast with the Greater Yin Moon Toad’s bloodline.
