In Douluo, Wuhun holds the Tianping

After returning to the surface of the sea, Li Xuan opened the hatch of the Swordfish and then leaped out of the ship, landing directly on the deck.

When everyone saw Li Xuan return, they immediately surrounded him, looking at him with concern, since Ji Yuan had spent several days at the bottom of the sea this time.

If Zhu Zhuqing and the others hadn't been able to sense the connection between Li Xuan and the Heavenly Bottle, they would have all thought Li Xuan had died at the bottom of the sea.

After all, there had been no news of Li Xuan for several days.

"Xuan-ge'er, are you alright? I haven't heard a thing these past few days." Zhu Zhuqing asked Li Xuan anxiously, holding his hand, her eyes filled with concern and anxiety.

Now that Zhu Zhuqing has completely closed the door to choosing him, she has already regarded him as her future partner, which is why she is so nervous.

The stick then directly grabbed Li Xuan's wrist and began to use his soul power to examine Li Xuan's body to check for any injuries.

"Don't worry, it's safe. This time we've had a great haul. I've gotten what I wanted." Li Xuan patted Zhu Zhuqing's hair and said with a smile.

"Xuan-ge'er, when are we going back?" He stood up and raised his hand to ask Li Xuan.

“Let’s wait here for two more days. I need to have the puppets search this place again to make sure there’s nothing left behind. If nothing is left, then we’ll go back to Seagod Island. Otherwise, we’ll have to come back to get it.” Li Xuan looked up at Sikai and said with a smile.

"No problem, Xuan-ge'er." He stood up, patted his chest, and assured Li Xuan.

In fact, Sikai also wanted to stay here for a while longer, since she would have to continue her tidal body tempering in the Raging Waves Abyss after returning home.

Life in the raging waves was truly unbearable. Every day, the raging winds and giant waves would pound against your body. Although it provided some improvement, it was also a torment.

Now that Li Xuan has given his orders, it's a good time to rest at sea, so we don't have to suffer again when we get back.

"Brother, this is a pill I prepared for you to replenish your qi and blood. You haven't been sleeping these past few days, this won't do." Bangchui released Li Xuan's wrist and said to Li Xuan with a nervous expression.

At the same time, Bangchui also took out a bottle of energy-boosting pills, since staying up late is bad for your health.

Li Xuan took the bottle of pills, opened the stopper, poured out one pill, and put it directly into his mouth.

The pills melt in your mouth and have a faint herbal aroma, making them very delicious.

The medicinal power of the elixir transformed into qi and blood, filling Li Xuan's body. Putting everything else aside, the effect was quite good.

Bangchui has a great talent for alchemy, and sometimes even Li Xuan cannot concoct the prescriptions he can.

As expected of the king of herbs, ginseng has taken human form and is very familiar with the medicinal properties of various herbs.

"By the way, Zhuqing, Bangchui, and Brother Sikai, I haven't had a proper rest these past two days, so I won't chat with you anymore. I'll go back and rest first, and we'll get together again after I've recovered." Li Xuan said with a smile to the people staring at him.

"Yeah, brother, judging from your appearance, you probably haven't slept a wink these past few days. Go back and get some rest." Bangchui said to Li Xuan with a worried look on his face.

"Well, you guys should go back and get some rest too." Li Xuan waved his hand, then walked alone towards his cabin.

Sitting on his bed, Li Xuan took out the box containing the divine essence from the small cave and carefully opened it.

Looking at his own crystal-clear divine essence, the weariness on Li Xuan's face vanished.

Li Xuan took the divine essence out of the box and examined it carefully in his palm.

This divine essence is entirely blue-gold, cube-shaped, and completely transparent. Its surface is covered with a layer of intricate and grand golden patterns, making it a very pleasing sight to the eye.

Li Xuan tried to squeeze the divine core, but he couldn't budge it at all; it was extremely hard.

"Although I don't know what kind of god you are, I am grateful that you have contributed to my strength." Li Xuan weighed the divine spark in his hand and said with a smile.

From its appearance, it's impossible to tell which deity this divine spark came from, and the records of the Sea Dragon Clan don't mention any deity that governs it.

"Who cares what kind of god it is? The essence within a god's core is the same. As long as it allows me to refine a god's core seed, that's enough." Li Xuan snorted and then closed the box again.

Li Xuan stood up, then took out some array flags and began to set up an array in his room to isolate himself from external interference in preparation for absorbing the divine essence.

Li Xuan's absorption of the divine spark will not attract the attention of the divine realm. This formation is mainly to prevent other soul beasts from discovering his whereabouts.

The divine essence is a deadly attraction for other soul beasts. If the aura of the divine essence were exposed, countless hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts would probably come looking for it.

After setting up the formation for a full hour and confirming that there were no problems with its effectiveness, Li Xuan returned to his bed to begin absorbing the essence within the divine core and laying the foundation for his "Tai Xuan He Shen Jing".

Li Xuan opened the box containing the divine essence again, placed it beside him, then sat cross-legged and mobilized the soul power in his body and the soul power in his spiritual world.

Next, Li Xuan used the method recorded in the "Tai Xuan He Shen Jing" to blend a special energy according to a special ratio of soul power and spirit power.

Immediately afterwards, this power was infused into the divine essence.

The first step in cultivating the "Tai Xuan He Shen Jing" is to refine the divine essence into an absorbable state, and the special energy formed by the fusion of soul power and spirit power is the key to releasing the divine essence.

As special energy was injected into the divine core, the originally indestructible and invincible divine core began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Something so hard actually melted! That's amazing!" Li Xuan stared wide-eyed in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.

In just a few minutes, the divine essence transformed into a mass of blue-gold liquid.

Li Xuan took a deep breath, then mobilized his mental energy to enter the liquid and absorb the soul power contained within it.

The fragments of divinity are mainly composed of three parts: soul power, spirit power, and faith power.

Soul power and spirit power are relatively simple, but faith power is more complex, including willpower, divine power, and various special invisible and intangible abilities.

Although Li Xuan consumed a large amount of soul power when extracting this divine spark, it was quickly replenished after Li Xuan's spiritual power came into contact with the liquid divine spark. The ownerless pure soul power directly merged into Li Xuan's soul power.

The original losses were instantly replenished, and a significant amount of soul power was also added.

Li Xuan's spiritual cultivation even advanced a step further.

However, this soul power has other uses, and it will still need to be used up later.

As Li Xuan continued to absorb the soul power within the divine spark, a special memory entered his mind.

Li Xuan was also curious about what memories could be contained within a godhood, so he closed his eyes and began to read those memories.

This memory was left by the first water god.

In other words, this divine status originated from the water god.

Earth, water, wind, and fire are the four most fundamental energies between heaven and earth, the basic energies at the beginning of this world, and all things in the world are composed of these four energies. The Water God is one of the four fundamental deities of ancient times, and his true form is a water dragon that has cultivated for millions of years.

As time passed, the continent was fully formed, giving rise to countless rivers, lakes, and seas. The water god began to distribute his divine power, creating three sea god positions, thirty-six lake god positions, and one hundred and eight river god positions.

These gods began to rule over the sea, lakes, and rivers!
Later, humanity rose to power and declared war on all the gods.

After the war that year.

The water god was also dethroned by humans, and his divine status was shattered in this battle.

The shattered divine essence was discovered by humans, who then inherited the position of the water god. However, because the divine essence was shattered, they no longer had the ability to control the sea god and other deities.

Therefore, the water god became a weak god.

It was also because of the lack of divine authority that he accepted the current water god, which ultimately led to his death in the ruins of the sea dragon.

If they possessed the complete divine essence of a water god, even if the deep-sea blue dragon clan were ten thousand times stronger, they still wouldn't be able to keep the water god.

After reading through these memories, Li Xuan frowned slightly.

Unexpectedly, this divine spark was actually the divine spark of the Water God, one of the four basic energy gods. In that case, the essence contained within this divine spark was probably more than Li Xuan had imagined.

Next, Li Xuan began to use his own soul power to draw the soul power within the divine core. Using himself as a bridge, Li Xuan transferred all of this soul power into the space of the Palm Heaven Bottle.

Li Xuan's soul power level has reached level 80, which is a bottleneck. He can no longer absorb soul power, so guiding this soul power into the space of the Palm Heaven Bottle is the best choice for Li Xuan.

This soul power was simply too vast; it was soul power personally accumulated by the Water God, and it was not only vast but also exceptionally pure.

After several hours of transfer, the soul power and spirit energy within the divine essence had been absorbed by Li Xuan and transferred to the space of the Palm Heaven Bottle.

In the end, only the purest power of faith remained of this divine spark, which was exactly what Li Xuan needed most.

Li Xuan looked at the energy cluster emitting a faint white light, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The power of faith is mysterious and unfathomable; it is impossible to see it. This is because the impurities within the divine essence allow the power of faith to manifest.

This power of faith is just enough for Li Xuan to refine a seed of divinity within his own body.

As long as this seed continues to grow, its power will not be weaker than any other god in the future.

With a thought, these powers of faith flew up and entered Li Xuan's body through his brow.

After absorbing this power of faith, Li Xuan began to condense the seed of divinity.

First, Li Xuan transferred the power of faith to his dantian, and then began to control his soul power and the soul power in his body to inject into the power of faith.

Because the Water God's divine nature had been processed using the special method of the "Tai Xuan He Shen Jing", Li Xuan did not need to bear the responsibility brought about by the power of faith.

The power of faith exists in Li Xuan's body only in the form of energy.

Just after Li Xuan injected his soul power and spirit power into the power of faith in a certain proportion.

In simple terms, the Foundation Building of "Tai Xuan He Shen Jing" involves first dismantling the wild divine core, erasing all information within it, and then re-condensing a clean divine core seed within the cultivator's body.

At that moment, the power of faith actually ignited directly in Li Xuan's dantian.

"Hmph!" Li Xuan groaned in pain.

Although Li Xuan is a fire-attribute soul master with a strong resistance to flames, the power of faith carries not only high temperatures but also the willpower of the believer, which makes it difficult to deal with.

The power of aspiration and resentment are similar, but also different. The power of aspiration is pure, so the filthy flames have no effect on it.

To process the power of wishes, one must complete the task assigned by the person who made the wish.

The water god's sacrifice has not been presided over for countless years. These vows have been accumulated over countless years, and even if Li Xuan wanted to fulfill them, he couldn't.

He could only bear the pressure that these wishes brought to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan still had to continue controlling the input of soul power and spirit power to maintain the burning of faith power.

And so, this process tormented Li Xuan for a full day and night.

By the morning of the next day, all the power of faith had been burned away.

A white light spot the size of a grain of rice also appeared in Li Xuan's dantian.

This is the divine seed recorded in the "Tai Xuan He Shen Jing".

As long as he continues to fuse with the divine spark, the seed of the divine spark will become very large, and in that case, Li Xuan's divine power will become stronger!

After checking that the divine seed was fine, Li Xuan's body went limp and he collapsed onto the bed.

The flames emanating from this burning power of faith were causing immense damage to Li Xuan.
After resting in bed for half an hour, Li Xuan struggled to get out of bed.

The spiritual power was connected to the Swordfish and all the puppets in the Sea Dragon Ruins through the small cave.

During the time he was refining his divine essence, he found nothing of value in the Sea Dragon Ruins.

"The Sea Dragon Ruins are finally resolved." Li Xuan revealed a bright smile.

Li Xuan did not send the Swordfish back to his side, but instead had the Swordfish take other puppets to search for and mine various resources on the seabed.

After all, the vast ocean hides a wealth of resources. Rather than leaving them on the seabed, it would be better for Li Xuan to extract them and put them to good use.

After arranging the puppets on the seabed, Li Xuan picked up a soul tool and said to Sikai.

"Brother Sikai, it's confirmed that there's nothing left here. We can set off back to Poseidon Island now."

"Received, Xuan-ge'er, set off immediately." After a while, Si-kai's voice came from the soul tool.

Li Xuan closed his eyes wearily and fell asleep immediately.
