Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

After receiving the reward, Xiao Yang took out the remaining corpse of the Emerald Demon Bird.

Tier 3 magical beasts are very useful.

Xiao Yang took out a dagger and opened the skull of the Emerald Demon Bird.

He took out the wind-attribute magic core from the head of the Emerald Demon Bird, cleaned it, and then put it directly into his storage ring.

Then, he began to dismantle the corpse of the Emerald Demon Bird.

Feathers, bones, flesh, blood...

After doing all this, he poured all the remaining Emerald Demon Bird blood into the medicine cauldron and began to refine the essence blood.

The essence blood of a third-tier magical beast can be used to refine body-tempering pills!

Even for Xiao Yang now, a third-tier Body Tempering Pill still has considerable benefits.

After refining the essence blood, Xiao Yang placed it in a jade bottle for preservation.

This is not a good place for alchemy.

He planned to obtain the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire and then return to the small valley to refine the essence blood of third-tier magical beasts into pills.

Moreover, because of its small size, the Emerald Demon Bird has relatively little essence blood among third-tier magical beasts, and some of its blood was used to create the flying combat technique earlier.

In the end, only three drops of the Emerald Demon Bird's essence blood were extracted.

This is barely enough to refine one Body Tempering Pill.

Moreover, success cannot be guaranteed 100%.

Therefore, Xiao Yang plans to hunt down more Tier 3 magical beasts.

After understanding his own soul strength, Xiao Yang felt that he could quickly raise his proficiency in the Netherworld Thorn to the perfect level by hunting third-tier magical beasts.

After making the decision, he immediately began to use the Soul Technique to restore his soul power.

Soon, Xiao Yang restored his soul power to its peak.

He glanced at the sky and decided to spend the night in the cave.

However, before that, he planned to hunt a Tier 3 Armored Bison.

The other party is not far from here.

That was the monster he found when he arrived in the morning.

Chapter 92 Advanced Mystic-Rank Soul Skill!

The next day, just past noon, Xiao Yang had already killed another third-tier magical beast.

A system notification sounded in his mind.

[Mission: Use the Nether Thorn to kill the Tier 3 magical beast, the Ghost Ape. Reward: Nether Thorn Proficiency +1, one Ghost Face Flower. Completed. Claim reward?]

Xiao Yang did not claim the reward immediately.

We arrived at the cave that had been carved out yesterday.

After using earth-attribute battle qi to block the cave with the surrounding rocks and soil, Xiao Yang created another mission.

[Task: Raise the proficiency of Netherworld Thorn to Perfection. Reward: Spirit +1, Basic Soul Talent +1, Advanced Mystic Soul Skill "Soul Chasing Blade".]

Xiao Yang's eyes lit up when he saw the mission reward.

Sure enough, there really is a Xuan-rank combat skill as a reward!

Moreover, he even possesses a soul talent!

His mastery of the Nether Strike skill has already reached 9/10 of the highest level.

Now, simply claim the reward for the completed task, and you can instantly upgrade your Nether Thorn Proficiency to Perfect!

Xiao Yang accepted the mission reward without hesitation.

The next moment, a wealth of insights about the Netherworld Thorn appeared in Xiao Yang's mind.

At the same time, a system notification sound also rang out.

[Task: Raise the Netherworld Thorn skill to Perfect. Reward: Spirit +1, Basic Soul Talent +1, Advanced Xuan-rank Soul Skill "Soul Chasing Blade". Completed. Claim reward?]

After absorbing the insights gained from the Netherworld Thorn, Xiao Yang accepted the reward without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a cool sensation in his sea of ​​consciousness.

However, since it was only a small amount of mental energy added, the energy disappeared after only a short while.

Xiao Yang didn't pay much attention to it.

With a thought, a scroll of soul skills appeared in his hand.

This is a gray scroll.

The scroll had a few words written on its side: High-level Xuan-rank Soul Skill: Soul-Chasing Blade.

Xiao Yang looked at the soul skill in his hand, his eyes filled with excitement.

A high-level Xuan-rank soul skill, even the people in the Pill Tower would be envious!

This is extremely precious.

Without hesitation, he directly used his soul power to probe into the scroll.

He didn't even open the scroll.

He knew that the soul skills rewarded by the system must be learned using soul power.

Soon, a flood of information rushed into his mind.

The difficulty of wielding the Soul-Chasing Blade is far greater than that of the Netherworld Thorn.

The Netherworld Thorn is merely a compressed form of soul power, condensed into a single sharp spike.

The Soul-Chasing Blade, on the other hand, uses the soul as its blade to shatter the enemy's soul.

Xiao Yang needs to use his soul power to condense a blade.

If the Soul-Chasing Blade is cultivated to perfection, it can even attract the surrounding spiritual energy to assist it!

You should know that spiritual energy is the most important indicator of a soul in a spiritual realm.

To break through to the Spirit Realm, one needs to integrate spiritual energy into the soul.

A sword imbued with spiritual energy will be even more terrifying in power.

It can even defeat enemies of higher ranks!

Without hesitation, Xiao Yang immediately started creating a task and began experimenting.

[Task: Practice the Soul-Chasing Blade 45 times; Reward: Soul-Chasing Blade Proficiency +1]

Looking at the mission details, Xiao Yang couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth.

Now that he knows he can gain proficiency by killing human cultivators and magical beasts, he doesn't really want to do these ordinary proficiency quests anymore.

That's such a waste of time.

However, he can't even use the Soul-Chasing Blade right now, so he'll definitely need to practice first.

Having the experience of the Netherworld Thorn, he still knew how to use his soul power to condense things into various shapes.

However, this was his first time condensing a soul blade, and he was still quite unfamiliar with it.

As Xiao Yang began to consume his soul power, an invisible "soul blade" appeared before him.

Normal people can't see it, but as the owner of the Soul Blade, Xiao Yang can clearly sense it.

Rather than calling it a blade of soul, it's more like a thin sheet of iron.

The method of condensation recorded in the Soul-Chasing Blade is more advanced than that of the Netherworld Thorn.

He condensed this "iron sheet" in a very short time.

Although it doesn't have the same level of proficiency as the Netherworld Strike.

However, this was only his first time condensing.

He simply scattered the "iron sheet" with his hand.

Then, he tried to condense it again.

As Xiao Yang practiced, he became more and more proficient.

His speed of condensation is also getting faster and faster.

In the process, his skill level improved a little on its own.

Soon, after 45 practice sessions, Xiao Yang received a system notification in his mind.

[Task: Practice the Soul-Chasing Blade 45 times. Reward: Soul-Chasing Blade Proficiency +1. Completed. Claim reward?]

"System, claim your reward!"

The next moment, a small amount of insight about the Soul-Chasing Blade flowed into Xiao Yang's mind.

After digesting his insights, Xiao Yang did not hesitate and created another task.

[Task: Practice the Soul-Chasing Blade 45 times; Reward: Soul-Chasing Blade Proficiency +1]

With his current soul power, it would take him a long time to exhaust it.

……

Time passed quickly, and in just one day, Xiao Yang had mastered the Soul Chasing Blade to the level of beginner 5/10.

He can now essentially condense his soul power into the shape of a knife.

Of course, it's just the shape of a knife.

As for details, there are none.

It can't even be called a normal knife; it looks more like a piece of iron with a cylindrical object attached to it.

Xiao Yang didn't care.

Anyway, at least he can now use the Soul-Chasing Blade to attack easily.
