Chapter 173 Ignite the Spiritual Fire
"Is it a weapon spirit?..."

The meaning could be understood just from the literal meaning, and Xiao Xuan looked a little hesitant.

There has never been such a thing as weapon spirit on the Douqi Continent, so it is normal for him to have concerns, but when it comes to the chance of survival, he has no choice.

“It doesn’t have to be this way.”

Li Pingan thought about it for a moment and gave up the idea.

He is unable to refine Taoist tools with his current means, even with the help of the incarnation of the Red Emperor, but he still cannot achieve the longevity realm of the immortality system.

The difference in systems is far from easy to overcome, even for reincarnationists.

The most he has done now is to refine the Heavenly Tomb into the prototype of a Taoist weapon. If there is even a slight mistake, Xiao Xuan will end up reduced to ashes.

Instead of this, it would be better to wait until he has mastered the great soul technique and then see.

The Great Soul Art, the three thousand great ways that govern the soul, can control the soul after it is mastered, just like the god of death reaping souls at will. It also contains the means to heal and restore the soul.

These three thousand great ways are easy to master for people like Xiao Xuan.

Even in Han Shanshan's situation, there is still a way to rescue her.

In the eyes of others, some things are impossible to do, but in front of the Three Thousand Great Avenues, it is not so absolute.

Li Ping'an has the Broken Jade, a soul treasure that Mo Ran has spent a lot of time and effort to create in several mission worlds. He has a good chance of mastering the great soul technique in the short term.

"Don't be impatient, wait and see."

Now that he had a direction, Li Pingan also spoke.

Next he planned to use the Heavenly Tomb for a period of seclusion. The six times acceleration of time was still very useful.

I didn't come here before because I had to deal with the affairs of the Red Emperor's Divine Court. The gains from unifying the Douluo Continent are far greater than any short-term acceleration.

Now that the affairs of the Red Emperor's Divine Court have been almost dealt with, they can be pushed forward step by step without his excessive involvement. Naturally, he must also make good use of the Heavenly Tomb.

"There is still more than a year left, which is enough time for me to learn the Great Soul Art. Even the other three thousand great ways will not be a problem."

Li Ping'an had an idea that the great soul technique also corresponds to the great blood soul technique of the physical body.

For him who possesses a genetic lock, this is one of the three thousand great ways worth practicing, and his practice speed will not be slow.

After he reached the realm of heaven and man, it can be said that his things began to become more numerous.

Fortunately, Dan Yao can share the task of refining the Heavenly Tomb, otherwise it would be difficult for him to find time.

Li Ping'an wanted to go into seclusion, so Xiao Xuan gave up his cave very straightforwardly: "This is where the energy of the Heavenly Tomb is most concentrated, it should be enough for you, Lord Chidi.

"I wonder if there's anything else I can help with."

Suddenly hearing that there was a chance for resurrection, Xiao Xuan could not hide his excitement and served him wholeheartedly.

"Then capture some ancient devouring insects for me." Li Ping'an gave the order without any hesitation. Compared with his life-saving grace, there was nothing wrong with Xiao Xuan doing something.

The ancient devouring insects were also something he cared about. It was rumored that they could devour everything and continuously secrete pure energy.

This characteristic gave Li Pingan some ideas.

"It would be great if we could transform it into a divine insect that can produce pure yang energy."

However, Li Ping'an also knew that this was just a luxury and basically impossible to achieve, but people should always have dreams. If it could be achieved, wouldn't the pure yang energy be free?

Even without talking about other things, the continuous secretion of pure energy is also a very useful ability. It is also good to raise a group of them in a cave to increase their vitality.

"Then we won't disturb you."

Gu Yuan and Xiao Yan took their leave for the time being, and Li Pingan also released Dan Yao before going into seclusion to practice.

"Refine this secret realm into a Taoist weapon... Master, you really have given me a difficult problem." Dan Yao looked a little distressed when she heard Li Ping'an's request.

It's like encountering an unscrupulous party A who makes all kinds of demands without any politeness.

"The more capable you are, the more work you will do. Chidi, you can take care of me."

Li Pingan summoned his Doudi incarnation and put forward his idea: "If possible, we can train the Tianmu and Taixu Divine Ship into one. We only need to train them into a prototype. I will see if I can ask the Lord God to help with the rest."

He still hasn't given up his dream of a spaceship.

The Taoist weapon refined by Tianmu needs a shape and a carrier, and the Taixu Divine Ship is more suitable.

"A prototype? I'll try my best."

Dan Yao felt tremendous pressure, fortunately there was an incarnation of the Red Emperor to help her, otherwise she would really have no way out. With the seven-star combat power to activate the Taoist weapon, although it is still not as suitable as the longevity weapon, it can still be used.

"Start refining!"

Dan Yao took the incarnation of the Red Emperor and began to move.

Li Ping'an went into seclusion, practicing various three thousand great ways.

Because he had a foundation in all aspects, his progress was very fast. Just getting started was not difficult for him, and he soon mastered the four gates and three thousand great ways.

Great Soul Art, Great Blood Art, Great Dragon Face Art, Great Nirvana Art!
At this moment, he controls a total of nine gates and three thousand avenues, all of which are among the best, and his equipment is luxurious.

"boom!"

After practicing the Three Thousand Great Daos one by one, and having swallowed the Void Devouring Flame and the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame, Li Ping'an's magic power naturally increased dramatically and continued to transform!

"Three million horse mana!"

Li Pingan opened his eyes, revealing an infinite sharp edge.

With this level of mana, even without a tenfold burst, he is comparable to an ordinary Douluo. And after using it, it will directly double to be comparable to a nine-star peak Douluo.

He also mastered the Nine Gates and Three Thousand Great Daos, so one can imagine how terrifying his power is.

"Unfortunately, I am still no match for the Seven Stars."

Li Pingan shook his head. Even so, his fighting power still could not reach the seven-star threshold.

The gap between six stars and seven stars is too big. He must at least enter the state of unity, condense his life talisman, and increase his magic power to tens of millions of horses. After the explosion, his magic power can reach nearly 100 million, before he can match them.

This is just the weakest seven-star level.

"But even so, I should be able to match Hua Tiandu before his breakthrough." Li Pingan estimated. Witnessing the battle between Zhao Linger and Hua Tiandu that day left a deep impression on him.

And now he is close to both.

"Hua Tiandu..."

Li Ping'an thought of this person again, and the scene of being targeted by him in the past came to his mind.

He still had anger in his heart and wanted revenge, but it could no longer shake his mood. He was very calm and relaxed.

Most people's anger comes from their own powerlessness.

Having power and not having power are completely different ideas when facing the same thing.

He no longer cares about Hua Tiandu's targeting. It's not that he has let it go, but he has faced up to the gap between himself and the other party. Hua Tiandu is at most a short-term goal for him, not a lifelong goal.

He has a bigger and broader world for him to explore, and a cancer cannot affect his state of mind. As soon as a thought comes to his mind, the world suddenly becomes wider.

"Crash!!"

Li Ping'an felt his spiritual transformation, and an invisible spiritual fire began to burn.

"Spiritual fire! I actually ignited the spiritual fire."

"With the spiritual fire, I can refine my magical powers. It is the threshold for forging my own talisman. It is the true peak of the heavenly realm. I have one foot in the path of unity!"

Li Ping'an's body shook and his face was full of surprise. He didn't expect that he would ignite the spiritual fire at this time.

This way, there will be no more confusion on the road ahead.

Next, as long as you practice the Great Five Elements Technique to perfection, you will be able to condense your natal talisman and enter the realm of unity.

"The five elements resources in the Douqi Continent are still insufficient. Maybe I should consider entering the Great Thousand World." The thought flashed through Li Pingan's mind.

Practicing the Great Five Elements Technique is not easy. Didn’t you see how many Five Elements monsters and even Five Elements divine beasts Fang Han killed before he was able to successfully condense his natal talisman. Relying solely on the incarnation of the Red Emperor to help him condense his vitality is a drop in the bucket.

Besides, he is currently refining the Heavenly Tomb with Dan Yao and has no time to spare.

"I don't know how they are refining it."

Li Ping'an walked out of Xiao Xuan's cave. At this time, a year had passed. However, because he was in the Heavenly Tomb, only two months had actually passed in the outside world.

"Boom!"

As soon as he came out and passed through the isolation formation set up before the retreat, he saw a huge commotion in the Heavenly Tomb.

Countless formations and runes were carved into the space of the Heavenly Tomb by Chidi and Danyao. Energy bodies such as Xiao Xuan acted as laborers and helped to refine them.

"Master, you have come out of seclusion."

Dan Yao was very happy to see Li Pingan in person.

"Well, we have gained a lot." Li Pingan nodded and asked, "How is the situation now?"

"It's okay. It's just refining the Tianmu and Taixu Divine Ship together. It's not a big problem." Dan Yao replied. She and Chidi were so busy during this year that they couldn't be separated.

However, the results are also remarkable. A part of the Heavenly Tomb has been refined, and it won’t take much time to merge it with the Taixu Divine Ship.

By that time, the prototype of a top-grade Taoist weapon will appear.

Yes, it is a top-grade Taoist weapon. The value of the Heavenly Tomb is comparable to that of a star core. It also contains fragments of the law of time. When it is integrated into the Taixu Divine Ship, its grade is directly raised.

However, to complete the last step, a master of the Creation Realm is still needed.

Of course, Li Ping'an also has another choice, which is to ask the Lord God for help, to completely melt it successfully and engrave a ban.

"Now that we have the materials and the foundation, we just need to refine the prototype. We shouldn't need eight-star plot cards." Li Ping'an estimated that if he could solve the problem with a few seven-star plot cards, he would be very happy.

It is a top-grade Taoist weapon. Even if Dan Yao is not in her current weak state, its power is terrifying.

After seeing Xiao Xuan's hard work, Li Pingan decided to fulfill his previous promise and help him revive.

"The soul energy body is really made by the Heavenly Tomb, and it is also destroyed by the Heavenly Tomb. The Heavenly Tomb preserves your soul, but it also makes your soul less active."

After comprehending the Great Soul Art, Li Ping'an's understanding of the soul suddenly rose to a very high level. Looking at Xiao Xuan's current state, he had a solution in mind.

In fact, looking at Yao Lao, you can see that if the soul still exists and wants to be resurrected, it is not very difficult.

Judging from the surface, Xiao Xuan's condition is actually much better than Yao Lao's, and his strength has been preserved a lot. Logically, there should be hope, but in the original novel, Xiao Yan had no way out.

The reason lies in the Heavenly Tomb.

Although he is the same Nine Revolutions Dou Zun, he looks completely different inside and outside the Heavenly Tomb.

A lot of strength has been preserved inside the Heavenly Tomb. Outside the Heavenly Tomb, Yao Lao, who was a Nine-turn Dou Zun, died, leaving only his soul. The strength he exerted was only between Dou Huang and the initial Dou Zong. You can imagine the gap.

How could this not have an impact? The Heavenly Tomb provided energy and also imprisoned Xiao Xuan's soul, or in other words, the defilement affected his essence.

However, for Li Pingan, who has now practiced the great soul technique, it is not a problem.

"Soul, the origin of all living things!"

Li Ping'an used the Great Soul Technique, like a skilled surgeon, to peel off the energy of the Heavenly Tomb from Xiao Xuan's soul bit by bit.

This could also be considered a kind of practice, and he felt that his grasp of the Great Soul Art had deepened.

"There's no need to waste this energy." Li Ping'an thought to himself and refined the collected soul energy into a soul weapon.

This is the ability gained after refining the Hogyoku, which is filled with various laws and abilities of the world of death, allowing him to master the ability to refine Zanpakutō and create Hollows.

Needless to say, the chopping, punching and ghost-walking techniques are all mastered.

However, compared with the Three Thousand Great Ways, these tricks seem insignificant. Li Ping'an has no use for them at all. At best, they can only increase his knowledge.

It must be said that the fact that he was able to ignite the spiritual fire so quickly was also closely related to the Collapse Jade.

The soul is nourished and grown, and when the great soul technique is mastered, how can the spirit not become stronger? Coupled with the open mind, it is natural and not abrupt to ignite the spiritual fire all at once.

"I am free?!"

After the soul surgery, Xiao Xuan's expression still contained some residual disbelief, but then he was filled with ecstasy.

Only when you lose something can you feel how difficult it is to be free.

The feeling of being able to leave the Heavenly Tomb at will made it difficult for Xiao Xuan to suppress his emotions. He shouted wildly, "I'm free! I'm finally free!"

"Congratulations, Xiao Xuan."

Gu Yuan and Xiao Yan arrived and congratulated him.

"I have to thank Lord Chidi for this favor. I cannot repay you for it. I, Xiao Xuan, will remember it in my heart. I will do whatever you ask me to do in the future."

Xiao Xuan looked at Li Pingan standing beside him and spoke excitedly, unable to hide the gratitude in his heart.

Li Ping'an gave him a second life. Such a great kindness could be regarded as his reborn parents. Even if he could let it go, how could he not be happy that he could live another life?

"It's nothing, it's just a small matter."

Li Pingan waved his hand and didn't care much.

Xiao Xuan was not the only one who shed tears of gratitude towards him. The entire Douqi Continent was saved because of him.

Not to mention, if Mo Ran were allowed to unify the Douqi Continent, countless people would probably be brainwashed by him and would not let him go like he did.

He only converted hundreds of billions of people who had already been brainwashed, and left the others alone. This could be considered his last bit of kindness and mercy.

"Ahhh, sir, please spare my life. I am willing to surrender."

Compared to Xiao Xuan, the soul of Tianmu was much more miserable. It was detained by the Red Emperor and its intelligence was wiped out. The origin of its soul was integrated into the Taixu Divine Ship, giving birth to a new spirit. This process should not take long.

This soul origin is enough to give birth to intelligence in artificial intelligence and possess an emperor soul, which is more than enough to control the newly born Taixu divine ship.
