Chapter 433 The Bright Moon Transmits the Dharma, the Taiyin Refines the Spirit

With her current cultivation level at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage, the price she would have to pay to conjure such a pure Yin soul body out of thin air would be almost the same as the price she would have paid to fight against Ku Du's divine soul attack with all her might, both of which would severely deplete her divine soul essence.

But after all, the situation is different.

Dealing with Kudu would be done in public, under the watchful eyes of everyone. Any methods she used that exceeded the comprehension of this world could be perceived by beings from the higher realms, potentially leading to endless troubles.

However, if one were to secretly condense Chen Yi's Yin Soul within this cave, it would be a matter of dealing with the situation within one's own living space, which would be far less risky.

With this in mind, Hu Mingyue made a decision.

She looked at Chen Yi with a serious expression: "Uncle Chen, this matter is of utmost importance. You must keep it a secret and never mention it to anyone."

"Of course," Chen Yi immediately and solemnly promised.

"Alright, Uncle Chen, please wait a moment."

After saying that, she said no more, sat down cross-legged on the spot, closed her eyes, and her consciousness instantly immersed itself in the depths of her soul.

Hu Mingyue's sea of ​​souls was not the chaotic or golden sea of ​​ordinary cultivators, but a silent and deep dark starry sky.

A solitary, aloof moon hangs in the sky, casting its endless radiance, illuminating every detail of this space, yet also carrying an air of unapproachability and isolation.

This is her true form.

At this moment, Hu Mingyue's divine soul, identical to her own, stood in the center of this starry sky.

Her expression was solemn as her hands began to form one intricate hand seal after another. With each seal, the entire Divine Soul Starry Sky trembled, and the Taiyin (Moon) hanging high in the sky dimmed slightly.

This is stripping away one's own divine soul and Dao essence.

Such actions would severely damage her spiritual cultivation.

As the hand seals changed continuously, wisps of pure black energy were forcibly extracted from her soul. The energy was extremely pure, and each wisp contained a soul-shaking pressure that made one's heart tremble.

As these auras were stripped away, Hu Mingyue's soul trembled, and her originally solidified figure became illusory and transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Excruciating pain!

The excruciating pain that penetrates to the very core of one's soul far surpasses any physical torture.

Hu Mingyue's soul body's face twisted for a moment, but she quickly suppressed it with great willpower and regained her cold demeanor.

She knew very well that there could be no mistakes in this process.

With her current cultivation level, she forcibly condensed a substantial Yin Soul carrying the "Taiyin Refining God Dao Essence," which was already an act of crossing levels, so the price would naturally be high.

The pure black divine soul essence that had been extracted began to converge towards the center under her control.

This process was extremely difficult. There was a powerful repulsive force between the primordial energies. Each compression felt like it was trying to extract a wisp of her divine soul essence, combine it, and finally create the cultivation method essence of the Taiyin Soul Refining Technique.

Hu Mingyue's soul body grew increasingly dim. After this incident, without several years of quiet recuperation, her soul would never be able to recover to its peak state.

Finally, when her soul body became almost translucent, all the black aura was forcibly compressed into one place. With the last hand seal being entered, a flash of light appeared, and a solid, ghostly figure exactly like her was completely formed.

After doing all this, Hu Mingyue's soul swayed. She forced herself to stay upright and sent the vengeful spirit out of her sea of ​​souls before her consciousness returned to her physical body.

Hu Mingyue opened her eyes, her face instantly turning ashen white, and her breath weakened.

She didn't care at all, and with her hands outstretched, she slowly presented a tiny, pure black soul figure, only a quarter the size of her palm, to Chen Yi.

"Uncle Chen, here you go."

Her voice carried a hint of undeniable weakness.

Chen Yi stretched out his hands and carefully caught it.

The tiny, solid figure felt weightless upon contact with his hand, yet it made Chen Yi feel as if his very soul had sank.

The little figure is so lifelike that it bears a striking resemblance to Hu Mingyue.

However, her appearance and temperament were far superior to Hu Mingyue's, who was weak at this moment, and even to Hu Mingyue's previous aloofness.

It was an indescribable nobility and majesty, as if a true celestial emperor from the heavens had descended to the mortal realm to look down upon all living beings.

A powerful aura, so strong that even Chen Yi, a near-fifth-tier divine soul, felt a chill run down his spine, emanated from this small entity.

Clearly, this is Hu Mingyue's true nature.

Chen Yi could also clearly sense just how much energy Hu Mingyue had consumed after condensing this thing.

Just a moment ago, he even felt that Hu Mingyue's life force had weakened slightly.

She was using her own divine soul essence to guide him towards a divine soul foundation above the Nascent Soul stage.

This trust is as heavy as Mount Tai.

Chen Yi knew in his heart that if he hadn't stepped in to help Hu Mingyue when she was in danger, he would never have had such an opportunity.

Just as he sensed the aura emanating from the Yin spirit in his hand, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Detected mid-stage fifth-tier Taiyin Refining Spirit Dao Essence. Absorb it?]

With her early Nascent Soul cultivation, she was able to condense and separate the Taiyin Refining Spirit Dao Essence of the mid-fifth rank. One can imagine how high Hu Mingyue's true strength must be!

Chen Yi had a thought, but instead of immediately choosing yes, he tried to mobilize his divine soul to slightly touch and devour a trace of it.

With just a wisp, a vast and boundless Dao essence surged into his soul.

Chen Yi immediately discovered that it contained not only pure Yin Soul Dao essence, but also a trace of Hu Mingyue's own divine soul origin aura.

That aura was incomparably noble, as if it stood at the pinnacle of some realm of life that he could not comprehend at all.

Chen Yi couldn't understand it for a moment.

He knew that without the system's ability to devour and analyze, he wouldn't be able to master the "Taiyin Refining God Technique" on his own, even if he obtained it.

This profound and obscure knowledge was far too difficult for him to grasp.

"Mingyue, thank you very much," Chen Yi said solemnly, his tone full of gratitude.

Seeing that he accepted it, Hu Mingyue waved her hand weakly, forcing a smile on her pale face, and said, "Uncle Chen, you're too kind."

This "Taiyin Refining Spirit Technique" is merely a foundational method for subsequent spiritual cultivation beyond the Nascent Soul stage.

If you succeed in your cultivation, then Mingyue will naturally need Uncle Chen's help in the future. At that time, Mingyue will have the cultivation techniques, but the resources for cultivation will require Uncle Chen and Mingyue to obtain them together.

Chen Yi nodded slightly upon hearing this, understanding the situation. Like last time, Hu Mingyue needed him to help her navigate the core spatial formation in the Five Elements Basin of the ancient battlefield.

He understood what Hu Mingyue meant.

At higher levels of cultivation, even the spiritual realm cannot be created from nothing; it requires various rare and precious materials and special resources to assist it. Otherwise, immortals would be everywhere in this world long ago.

"Very well, I will remember your kindness in transmitting the Dharma today. If Mingyue has any needs in the future, I will do my best to help without hesitation," Chen Yi said in a deep voice, making a promise.

Hu Mingyue smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Uncle Chen. We'll talk again another day."
