At that mont, Lei Jun’s Yin Thunder, which could threaten even a Yang God, kept washing over the Nascent Soul. The Nascent Soul, which had previously looked like a youthful boy, abruptly aged at a terrifying speed, becoming withered and decrepit.
Lei Jun felt like capturing and suppressing the opponent’s Nascent Soul alive—just as he had done with Wang Jingfang—and then interrogating him slowly.
But Wen Zhaoqian didn’t give him that chance, still struggling desperately as he died. In the end, full of endless regret, his Nascent Soul vanished into the Spiritual Soul of Kang Ming, whom he had previously tried to possess.
As his Nascent Soul shattered and hovered on the edge of destruction, Lei Jun went against his usual instincts, not rushing to destroy it completely at once.
Seeing Kang Ming, whose soul had been shaken by the fierce battle and was now in a deep coma, Lei Jun recalled his own soul, returning to his physical body.
"Dual Phases Holy Body, combined with exceptional comprehension, gives rise to the Dual Phases Soul, which is indeed rare among souls, truly extraordinary," Lei Jun nodded slightly.
After what had just happened, he confird again that Kang Ming’s aptitude was extrely rare.
If not for this, the collision between Wen Zhaoqian’s Penalty of Soldier’s Extinction and the Celestial Master Seal would have destroyed Kang Ming’s soul instantly if he were any other Middle Three Heavens cultivator.
Even so, Kang Ming’s soul was severely injured and shattered while in his coma, mixed with fragnts of Wen Zhaoqian’s Nascent Soul. The ss had to be dealt with quickly.
So things at the Yellow Sky Altar today had turned out differently than Lei Jun had expected.
Zhou Peng, Wen Zhaoqian, and the others had mingled with the Yellow Sky Sect, even usurping and possessing the souls of Yellow Sky Dao people.
*There must be hidden secrets underneath.*
*Maybe they even had soone behind them.*
*Was it that mysterious attacker who ambushed Li Qingfeng and Li Hongyu and tried to steal the Celestial Master Robe?*
*Even if I wiped them all out here, the clues could still be cut off.*
*In that case, it would be better to continue investigating along different paths.*
*Since fate has brought us together, I’ll help you out today. I hope we can settle the score soday...* Lei Jun first used Spring Thunder to nurture vitality, keeping Kang Ming alive for the ti being.
He then turned to look at the altar behind him.
As Wen Zhaoqian died, the flashes of light on the altar dimd and gradually faded away.
The Golden Core atop the altar was now covered in fine, web-like cracks—just like Wen Zhaoqian’s Nascent Soul monts earlier.
But since Lei Jun had held back at the right mont, the Golden Core hadn’t completely exploded.
Lei Jun didn’t say much for now but collected both the unconscious Kang Ming and the broken Golden Core together.
Then he wiped away the three-tiered altar on the spot.
Beneath the altar was, unexpectedly, a Great Cauldron.
Cultivators of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect usually trained themselves, relying little on external objects. Their daily magic artifacts were mostly used as sacrificial instrunts or ritual implents.
This Great Cauldron was nothing out of the ordinary.
But right now, inside the cauldron, sothing seed to be there.
Looking closely, there appeared a swirling mass, mingling green-black and earthy yellow, constantly turning over.
What caught the attention of Lei Jun’s own Yin Yang Sacred Body, the page of the Celestial Book he carried, and his Balance of Motion and Stillness, was precisely this swirling mass inside the cauldron.
[Qi of Transforming Heaven and Earth]
The mont Lei Jun touched the profound currents inside the cauldron, inspiration struck him, the na appearing automatically in his mind.
This, then, was the Second-Grade Opportunity the best lot foretold?
*The principle and artistic conception... could it possibly relate to achieving the Dual Polarity Immortal Body?*
*A thousand guesses flashed through Lei Jun’s mind.*
Though deeply delighted and eager to experint, Lei Jun quickly cald himself down, took the Great Cauldron, rapidly cleaned up the scene, and left Zhu Bo Cave Mansion first. He decided he would study it thoroughly later after all loose ends were tied up.
After leaving the Zhu Bo Cave Mansion, Lei Jun traveled far away and found a new, safe spot deep in the sea. He set up the Breathing Soil Banner to block off the outside world, then took out the fractured Golden Core.
For Lei Jun, this object was of limited use, mainly sothing to help research the Taoist Dan Ding Sect’s laws.
But for Kang Ming, it was a different story.
Lei Jun tapped it lightly, breaking the Golden Core into pieces, then, under his control, transford it into two streams of light—one yin, one yang—which he sent into Kang Ming’s body.
At the sa ti, with Lei Jun’s help, Kang Ming’s Dual Phases Soul began to circulate between its halves. Even as one half was shattering, constant support from the other caused it to gradually recover.
During the process, Kang Ming’s soul fused together with the remnants of Wen Zhaoqian’s Nascent Soul and Golden Core as well.
Hmm, *just like those novels I used to read back on Blue Star. Soone tried and failed to possess the protagonist, only to be rged into him—the protagonist inherits mories and fragnts of the soul but keeps his consciousness and identity unchanged...* Lei Jun nodded slightly.
Only, this ti around, *everything had happened because of .*
Because Kang Ming’s own unique traits and Wen Zhaoqian’s failed possession ford the basis.
The combination would create an extrely rare exception,
Kang Ming now had the hope of breaking the usual restriction of only one movent technique, and mastering the strengths of both Taoist Alchemy Cauldron and Talisman Scriptures.
However, it could also dilute his focus, leading to diocrity in both fields.
*Whether he could handle the opportunity today depended on Kang Ming himself in the future.*
During the process of fulfilling Kang Ming’s destiny, Lei Jun managed to glance through parts of Wen Zhaoqian’s mories as well.
Fragnts though they were, *they still held value.*
Zhou Peng, Wang Jingfang, and the rest *had long since beco traitors to Pure Yang Palace.*
Four years ago, Wen Zhaoqian was still an elder there, even dying in the process of "defending" the sect.
And now, *they had all gathered together...*
"Gu Han, huh?" Lei Jun mused.
The forr Pure Yang Palace Black Tortoise Elder Gu Han, a veteran ranked Third Realm in the Eighth Heavenly Layer Infant Transformation.
He was, in fact, *the true person who betrayed Pure Yang Palace during the demon chaos years ago.*
To be exact, *he was the leader of the traitors.*
Besides Gu Han, Wen Zhaoqian and the others were involved.
Vermilion Bird Elder Wang Xuan had been frad by them to take the bla.
Gu Han and the others had stayed in contact with Zhou Peng’s crew.
