Chapter 316: Chapter 253: The Transformation of the Divine Soul

Translator: 549690339

In this life simulation, the breakthrough in Pei Xuanjing’s body was, in fact, within his expectations. After all, he had already clarified his future path for body cultivation and strengthening. All he needed was continuous tempering and strengthening of his body.

As long as he didn’t live too short in the life simulation, he could definitely grind his way through and keep the breakthrough of his body ongoing.

What horrified him was another matter. Compared to the previous deaths in life simulation, this death was a bit too bizarre. It was unprecedented and unheard of.

Even though he could accept the death from his divine soul leaving the body last time.

After all, many cultivation method manuals and scriptures left by the Taoist school have recorded that a person’s spirit is the strongest and also the most fragile. With his newly formed divine soul, without the protection of the physical body, he could accept its dissolution.

However, this time it was different. Having gone through countless thunder power tempering, he was not unfamiliar with the thunder power at all.

He could confidently say that unless struck down by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, with the assistance of the Lightning Attraction Device, the average thunder could not cause much damage to Pei Xuanjing. At most, his body would suffer a little more flesh and blood.

But this last burst of thunder not only made the Lightning Attraction Device ineffective, even his physical body didn’t suffer any significant damage and targeted his divine soul directly.

Pei Xuanjing frowned, carefully recalling his current life simulation situation. Suddenly, he noticed some anomalies.

“Did the divine soul transform, and then scatter right at the critical moment of transformation?

When he saw this, Pei Xuanjing finally realized it.

In the way of refining spirit, after gathering the divine soul, one reaches the extreme of the Mortal Realm of refining spirit. Just one step away from the transformation of divine soul into Yin Spirit, one can become a true spirit cultivator.

Originally, Pei Xuanjing thought the process of divine soul transforming into Yin Spirit was a gradual process.

It seems not so now.

If he dared to speculate and assume, does this mean the last thunderbolt was actually a test for the divine soul? Can only those who have experienced the tempering and baptism of thunder power truly condense Yin Spirit?

Yes, that’s it!

Pei Xuanjing recalls numerous pieces of information he has seen in previous lives and in this life. Among them, it was said that the Yin Spirit was initially very weak. It can only continuously endure the Thunder Tribulation, undergo the baptism from the fortune within the thunder power, constantly improve and transform.

In this way, the thunder just now should be a thunderbolt specifically for the Divine Soul, not an ordinary thunderbolt as he thought, thereby catching him off guard, without any sign. Even the physical body couldn’t stop it; it went straight for the divine soul.

“It seems for the way of refining spirit to elevate to the Spirit Realm, it must go through this thunder tribulation.” Pei Xuanjing pondered, he also realized what he had missed.

I actually just missed the opportunity to break through to the Spirit Realm!

Pei Xuanjing’s heart stirred a little.

He now understands. If he could withstand the test of thunderbolt in the life simulation earlier, then his divine soul could transform into Yin Spirit, stepping into the Spirit realm directly.

What a pity, it was not successful.

As he regretted, the reward from this life simulation emerged before his eyes. [Simulation completion, you can choose to keep one of the following rewards.] [First item: The realm of the body after the second reincarnation.]

[Second item: The realm of the divine soul that had transformed, but not yet fully transformed due to the power of thunderbolt.]

[Third item: True Qi accumulation at thirty-seven years old.]

While Pei Xuanjing was looking at the rewards this round, he first ruled out the third one. However, between choosing the first or the second, he was hesitant and felt uncertain.

By right, choosing the first item should be most appropriate. After all, if his body were to undergo another transformation, not only would his strength be enhanced, but the Way of Essence Refinement would also take another step forward and he would be one step closer to breaking through to the Spirit Realm.

The only thing that made Pei Xuanjing hesitate was that if he chose the second reward, divine soul transformation seems to suit him better.

After all, the spiritualization and tempering of the physical body can always be lifted through grinding, there won’t be too many bottlenecks, but the elevation of the divine soul is different.

Although Pei Xuanjing has now summed up some basic methods for gathering the divine soul, he doesn’t possess many ways to enhance the divine soul. He only relies on daily meditation to strengthen it.

Hence, if he could use this reward on the divine soul, to strengthen it, he would save countless bitter cultivation.

And, most importantly, Pei Xuanjing still had one chance for a life simulation. He was wondering if, after choosing to enhance his divine soul, he could use this opportunity in the simulation to experience another thunderbolt and turn the divine soul into Yin Spirit and step into the Spirit Realm at one go.

Let’s gamble!

After pondering for a long time, Pei Xuanjing finally made up his mind and chose the second reward.

Now with his current strength, no one in the world can threaten him. Whether or not to enhance his physical body immediately isn’t that urgent. It’s better to seize this opportunity for a gamble!

After making his choice, Pei Xuanjing felt that a profound power enveloped his divine soul.

Just like the last time he gathered his divine soul, in the blink of an eye, his excited expression gradually settled down. His eyes slightly closed, his heart was calm as water, there was no ripple.

At this moment, a faint pressure emerged from Pei Xuanjing. Eluding from his sitting position, it slowly spread around, and filled the entire training room.

In the entranced state, Pei Xuanjing could clearly feel his divine soul growing like a tender sprout thriving under the mysterious fate.

At this moment, time seemed to be stagnant. Yet, it also felt like countless years have passed.

Pei Xuanjing did not know how long he was in this profound and mystical realm. Perhaps it was an eternity or it may have been just a momentary blink of an eye.

After a long while, Pei Xuanjing opened his eyes again. The divine light flashed in his eyes, and his gaze was like lightning. Even just sitting there, he exuded boundless dignity, like an immortal, solemn, and sacred.

If Pei Xuanjing was seen by many people at this moment, they would probably be shocked. The aura that Pei Xuanjing carried was indeed extraordinary.

Not to mention anything else, if someone wanted to compete with Pei

Xuanjing, even without making a move, just releasing such an aura is enough

to make many people retreat, even leaving them without the courage to act..
