Chapter 112: Soul Tempering

The dome of the main hall seemed to have accumulated layers of thick dark clouds, constantly rolling, as if something was brewing.

At a certain moment, the atmosphere in the hall was so depressed that it seemed to freeze, and something came out of the rolling dark clouds, falling like a violent wind and rain, and it came fiercely.

At the same moment, Yang Yan seemed to feel the abnormal movement in the sky, his eyebrows raised slightly, but he was still silent, he knew very well that this was a soul attack, and a materialized attack was useless, and rashly distracting himself would only make him more disadvantageous.

"Boom!"

The soul attack that descended from above submerged from the top of Yang Yan's head and fell heavily on his soul sea, and suddenly it seemed that there was a 10,000-pound sledgehammer hammering down, shaking his soul sea slightly, and there were soul waves rippling like water waves.

"Buzz ......"

Under such an attack, Yang Yan's brows furrowed, and his head trembled a little, and then calmed down.

However, the soul attack did not move, it was like thunder, and after one blow, another soul attack fell, without giving the other party a chance to breathe.

Yang Yan's eyes were tightly closed, no matter how fast these attacks were, he was not moved in the slightest, he didn't say a word, he stubbornly guarded the soul sea, stabilized the soul sea with his powerful soul power, and silently endured the indiscriminate bombardment of the soul attack.

Half an hour, a quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour...... Half an hour had passed, and there was still no sign of stopping the soul attack.

In the center of the main hall, Yang Yan was like an old monk sitting on a clock, motionless, his face was calm, if it weren't for the slightest hint of imperceptible pain between his eyebrows that betrayed him, others would have thought that he was meditating and cultivating in an ordinary way, and would not have thought that he was facing an extremely dangerous soul attack.

Yang Yan, who was focused on fighting the soul attack, didn't notice that in a place where he couldn't see, another pair of eyes looked at him silently, these eyes were extremely deep, as if they could see distant time and space, but with a trace of turbidity, like the eyes of an old man drooping down.

And the owner of these eyes is indeed a gray-haired old man, generally speaking, the higher the realm a martial artist reaches, the longer the lifespan, if he can reach the realm of Tianxuan Realm, unless he dies accidentally, he will live for a thousand years, which is enough for several generations of secular dynasties.

And the longer the life span of a warrior, the slower the rate of aging will be, if he can break through all the way up without encountering major bottlenecks, his face will always remain the same as when he was young, even if he may be tens, even hundreds of years old.

Just like in the battle outside the Treasure Pavilion at the beginning, some of the powerhouses of the Tianxuan Realm were all young people, but in fact, they were all "old monsters" who had lived for at least a hundred years, and the reason why they were able to maintain this appearance was because they broke through the Tianxuan Realm very early, and before their faces aged, their lifespans were extended.

Such characters are all geniuses among geniuses, otherwise, if they are people who can barely break through for hundreds of years, their potential is insufficient, even if they break through, their lifespan will be extended, that is, they will maintain the appearance of when they broke through the realm, or they will not be able to maintain their youthful appearance if they are younger.

Therefore, in the martial arts world, the higher the realm, the more you can't rely on the surface to judge the age of the martial artist, just like a Qi Refining Realm martial artist who has lived for a hundred years, and a Lingyuan Realm powerhouse who has also lived for a hundred years, one has a maximum lifespan of two hundred years, and the other can live for at least five hundred years, it seems that the Lingyuan Realm powerhouse is naturally much younger.

Many people look old, but it doesn't mean how old he is, and a young man may be older than him.

However, this old man, his age is indeed very old, since the existence of the ancestral tower, he has been there, he has lived for a long time, experienced many ups and downs, even if the Yunxiao Divine Sect suddenly collapsed 10,000 years ago, it may just be a relatively big wave in his life, and there are too few facts that can make him pay attention.

And now he noticed Yang Yan, although his deep and cloudy eyes were still unwavering, but he did pay a little attention to this young man who was not yet thirteen years old.

"It's strange, this little doll hasn't cultivated any soul exercises, how can the soul power be so strong? ”

"What's even stranger is that there seems to be a faint kind of unusual fluctuation in his soul, and with my cultivation, I can only vaguely sense it, but I can't find the source of this fluctuation, which is really a bit strange. ”

The old man said strangely, but there was no fluctuation in his expression, as if he was just talking about an ordinary thing.

In fact, the "strong" he said was just in the realm of Yang Yan, and the "Qi Refining One and Two Martial Arts" he said essentially refers to the Qi Refining One and Two Martial Artists who have cultivated ordinary soul exercises and have passable talents, which is the lowest difficulty of the soul test of the fifth layer, to put it bluntly, it is almost impossible for a Tempering Body Realm martial artist to pass this layer, even if his combat power may be at the level of the Qi Refining Realm.

In the old man's opinion, a "little doll" with a nine-fold quenching body should not have such a soul power and can support it for so long, unless he cultivates any powerful soul exercises, but even if he has such a powerful soul technique, can a Quenching Body Realm martial artist cultivate? Based on what he has seen and heard in his long life, there are very few, very few, only those truly supreme geniuses can barely do it, not to mention that he found that Yang Yan has not cultivated any soul exercises at all.

"It's such an interesting little doll that has a lot of secrets on it that I can't even discover. The old man stroked the snow-white beard that grew on his chin and muttered to himself, a glimmer of light flashing in his deep, cloudy eyes, as if he had found some kind of plaything.

"It's okay, over the years, the old man has been bored alone, and finally came to an interesting "little doll", I'll see how far you can go, even if it's to relieve the boredom with the old man, hehe. ”

Although the old man guessed that Yang Yan had a secret, but since he couldn't see through it, he didn't want to investigate it anymore, after all, he was also an old monster who had lived for I don't know how many years, and it would be disrespectful to investigate the secrets of a junior, not to mention that this kind of secret could also arouse his playful mentality, even if he found out, he might not be able to see it, and it would be useless to him, his longevity was not much, as long as he guarded the inheritance left by his master.

Yang Yan naturally didn't know that he was inexplicably used as a boring spice by an old monster who could not be older, if he knew, even if he had a calmer mind than many adults, he couldn't help but be stunned, the dignified Seven Princes of the Tianyang Dynasty had been reduced to a spice for other people's pastime, this gap ...... It's too big, right?

Of course, he didn't know that he could be used as a concoction by the old man and had opened up a gap with many people, after all, many people just wanted to be, and he couldn't look down on it.

At this time, Yang Yan has no time to take care of him, of course, even if he has time, he can't see the old man, he is still facing the indiscriminate bombardment of soul attacks, but he has no soul power stronger than ordinary martial artists, but he doesn't know how to use it, he can only passively defend, guard the soul sea, and bear it silently.

However, fortunately, his soul power is strong, so he can always hold his position and not be breached, although under the soul attack again and again, his soul sea will have a slight shock from time to time, causing his head to be a little drowsy, and his ears are buzzing, but it can quickly calm down.

An hour has passed, the situation is still the same, the endless soul attacks have no signs of stopping, and I don't know when it will be a head, such a test full of unknowns is the most terrifying, it is easy to cause a great psychological burden on people, and if it is not good, it is easy to break down psychologically, so that the soul attack takes advantage of the weakness, breaks through the soul sea defense, and then causes damage to the soul.

It's like someone makes you run at a very fast speed, doesn't let you stop, doesn't tell you where your destination is, how far the distance is, everything is uncertain, if the distance is short, it's okay to say, if you keep running for a day, two days...... Ten days, or even longer, without an end in sight, what will happen to you? It is very likely that the whole person will collapse, or even die suddenly.

What's more, the soul attack is extremely dangerous, if you are not careful, you may become an idiot, or the soul will be killed, and the person will die, even if it is lighter, it is just a soul damage, and it is an extremely headache to recover, and it will also affect the cultivation of the martial artist.

Because of this, the voice does not say what will happen if it is not passed, a lighter one, it will be transmitted before the soul is damaged, and a heavier one, the soul will be damaged, whether it is light or heavy, it is extremely difficult to do, depending on what the criteria for judging failure are.

But there is no doubt that as long as you can withstand all the soul attacks, you can be considered to have passed, and in the case of no way to fight back, this is the only way, and Yang Yan did exactly that.

This kind of process is boring, and it is even more painful, but Yang Yan is as sweet as a meal, in addition to not being able to change this situation, there is another point, that is, he found that under such a soul attack, the benefits are not small.

First, under the continuous soul attack, his soul seems to be more close, and the strength is slowly increasing with the attack again and again, just like a sword in tempering, the more tempered, the sword will be sharper and harder after birth, of course, the premise is to be able to grasp a "degree", once it exceeds this degree, it will be harmful.

Without exceeding the endurance of Yang Yan's soul, such an attack is tempering his soul to become stronger, and the stronger the attack it can withstand, forming a virtuous circle and constantly growing his soul.

Second, Yang Yan also found that at the same time as his soul power increased, the aura in his body was also increasing, the speed of operation was slowly accelerating, more aura was injected into the meridians, and his cultivation realm was also improving at a slow speed.

It seems that the enhancement of soul power can also drive the cultivation of martial artists into the realm, and the two seem to be unrelated, but in fact there is a close connection, and what this connection is may not be revealed until he comes into contact with a certain realm.
