"Refining your soul at this time?" You're not joking, are you? Long Chen could hardly believe his ears.
When refining the soul, one must enter a meditative state with all their heart and spirit. Only with a calm mind and spirit can the soul be tempered. With so many demon clan experts here, how could he possibly enter meditation? Once he entered meditation, wouldn't he be torn apart by these demons?
"Of course I'm not joking. At this moment, you need to split your mind and temper your soul while fighting fiercely.
On our dragon clan are two horns—one yin and one yang—our true dragon clan has dual soul bodies, able to use two minds effortlessly.
I know this is very difficult for you humans, but there's no other way. This is a cultivation technique I created myself, and there is only one path to take. You must overcome it." The dragon clan expert said.
"That won't do. I can't walk with one eye looking left and the other to the right, and I have to remember the different scenery on both sides and react differently—unless ...." Long Chen said in disbelief.
Long Chen wanted to say that unless he released his inner demon, it was simply impossible. But thinking about the inner demon he had sealed, he knew this plan was absolutely impossible.
"Let's give it a try!" The dragon clan expert said helplessly.
Long Chen had no choice but to follow the dragon clan's instructions and charge toward the tenth stage again. He knew he probably had no way out, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and push forward.
"Boom boom boom... Just
as Long Chen channeled the powers of blood, qi, bone, and spirit into his soul space, he was beaten black and bruised by those demon clan experts and forced to fight back with all his might. As a result, his counterattack ended his soul refinement.
Then Long Chen began to refine his soul. As his mind immersed himself in the soul space, his body lost its command and was repeatedly knocked backward.
Long Chen gritted his teeth, planning to use his body's instincts to fight, focusing his mind on soul refinement. After all, in the Dragon King battle body state, these guys couldn't kill him, at most only get a few injuries.
But his idea was stopped by the dragon clan expert. The dragon clan expert said, "You must learn to split your mind and work twice. This is very important for you. I don't care what method you use. In short, you can't take shortcuts or get away with it!" "
The voice of the dragon clan expert was very serious, leaving Long Chen no room for bargaining. With no other choice, Long Chen had no choice but to find a way to complete the task.
But the mind could only switch back and forth between movement and stillness, unable to fully split into two parts to operate independently.
Long Chen tried many times but failed, so he had to retreat to the door to heal, taking advantage of the healing time to study how to split his mind and multitask.
Long Chen even wondered if he could release his inner demon and discuss it properly, but he gave up—this method was too dangerous.
The True Dragon Clan all have dual souls, and for them, the simplest thing actually stumped Long Chen.
No matter what Long Chen thought, he couldn't come up with any solution. He was so angry that he cursed loudly. Of course, he didn't dare insult the dragon clan's powerhouses, only his own foolishness.
But cursing was useless; if he couldn't figure it out, he could only vent his anger on these demon clan experts.
What Long Chen didn't expect at the time was that after trying a few more times, he seemed to have touched some threshold.
But Long Chen tried multitasking, but it didn't work at all. When Long Chen vented his anger on those demon clan experts, that feeling returned.
It was as if, invisibly, there was a strange power that could control all of Long Chen's energy, making him feel he could multitask.
That kind of power was like a key, able to unlock the treasures inside Long Chen's body. There was a key, but he just didn't know how to use it.
Later, Long Chen stopped bothering with it and instead kept fighting those demon clan powerhouses—neither refining blood nor soul, just fighting aimlessly.
Once Long Chen's heart was no longer restless, he clearly felt the turbid energy in his body decrease, his mind became clearer, and he entered a strange state.
When Long Chen tried to split his mind again, while fighting, a large amount of golden energy began to pour into his soul space, which made Long Chen overjoyed.
With this joy, Long Chen immediately stopped pouring golden energy into the chaotic space. Whenever he tried to distract himself, he could no longer enter that state.
Long Chen focused his mind, trying to calm himself and rediscover that feeling, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find it. Furious, Long Chen had no choice but to give up.
After returning to rest, Long Chen recalled that state and suddenly a look of realization appeared on his face:
"Only by having no desires and no demands can one fulfill every request?"
Long Chen charged up to the tenth stage again. This time, he no longer thought about being distracted, feeling neither joy nor sorrow, focusing solely on fiercely battling the demon clan powerhouses.
When Long Chen felt his mind gradually calming, he began to try to split his mind and multitask. This time, he succeeded again.
Long Chen steadied his mind, fighting while channeling the energies of blood, qi, bones, and spirit, channeling them into his soul space. The originally white chaotic space gradually turned golden.
However, this time lasted only a few breaths before it could continue. Still, Long Chen was neither anxious nor angry; instead, he kept fighting, and after a while, he returned to that state.
Long Chen emptied his mind, trying to be in a state where learning doesn't bring joy and loss doesn't worry, coming and going as he wishes, and coming and going as fate allows. At this moment, he seemed like a bystander, quietly watching everything happening to him.
Soon, his distracted state disappeared again, and for a long time he couldn't re-enter, forcing Long Chen to return to rest.
According to Long Chen's speculation, to enter that state, one needs to maintain a strong state, and it becomes very difficult to enter once exhausted.
After Long Chen repeatedly pondered and shifted his mind, he gradually managed to control that sense of calm in his heart, spending more and more time distracted.
However, for Long Chen, being distracted and multitasking was a state, not a normal state. Long Chen could control its arrival, but he could not control its departure.
"Remember this feeling; it's very important to you." While Long Chen was deep in thought, a powerful member of the Dragon Clan said to him.
"Senior, what kind of power is this?"
Long Chen couldn't help but ask. This kind of power was something he only knew about, but not why. This was the first time he had encountered something he couldn't understand, and it was simply inexplicable.
"Just remember it. I'll tell you later. It's the key to the Dragon God's Body Refining Technique, and also the foundation for your ascension to the highest realm.
You humans have this thing, and we dragons have it too, but the names and understandings are different, and sometimes it's hard to explain. You don't need to ask further. The dragon clan expert said.
Long Chen nodded. The Great Dao is silent; some things truly cannot be described in words. Opinions vary and cannot be generalized.
While Long Chen was still cultivating in the Vermilion Bird Trial, the entire Vermilion Bird Empire had already fallen into chaos.
