Chapter 111 - Not Enough Baneful Aura?



Chapter 111: Not Enough Baneful Aura?

Meng Chuan also understood his master’s good intentions.

He exerted enough pressure on him, allowing him to focus on tempering his will. One’s willpower was extremely important, even in the later Godfiend realms. After all, many Marquis and even Regis Godfiends visited the Pit of Bewilderment when they returned to Archean Mountain. That was enough evidence.

“I’m here to swap these two books.” Meng Chuan’s heart surged with excitement, but he still went to the library and looked for two new history books.

Studying also relaxed his mind and spirit. It increased his insight, so he needed to keep at it.

After obtaining two new books, Meng Chuan returned to his cave abode.

Inside his cave abode chamber.

After closing the chamber, Meng Chuan took out a red porcelain bottle he had hidden. His eyes were filled with anticipation. Time to begin the Ninth Refinement!

He was in a bathing pool during every Eighth Refinement session because he needed to heal from his injuries and wasn’t concerned if he was disturbed. However, if his Essence Soul couldn’t withstand the Six Desires baneful aura, it would attack his mind and affect his sea of consciousness. Although he could barely maintain his clarity of mind, it was safer to cultivate in a sealed chamber to prevent any accidents.

Come on.

Meng Chuan gently pulled open the bottle’s stopper and took a deep breath. His Quintessential Essence drew out a red baneful aura wisp—which entered his body through his nose.

Meng Chuan didn’t bother executing a body-tempering saber art because it was only used to guide and aid the body refine baneful aura. However, when it came to refining baneful aura with the Essence Soul, there was no need for such saber arts.

Whoosh.

His body didn’t absorb the Six Desires baneful aura wisp when it entered his body. It was extremely difficult for the body to absorb the Six Desires baneful aura. Even if he used a body-tempering saber art, he would still be unable to absorb Six Desires baneful aura if he hadn’t comprehended Saber Intent.

Instead, Meng Chuan stood motionlessly.

Let the Essence Soul absorb it first before letting the body absorb it.

After Six Desires baneful aura entered his body, it quickly wrapped around his Essence Soul. The faint red threads swirled around his Essence Soul and constantly tried to penetrate it.

Six Desires baneful aura originated from a human’s heart. Once it invaded one’s body, it would automatically attack their soul. If one’s will wasn’t strong enough, they would be controlled by their desires completely. Weak mortal souls were the easiest to control. The stronger one’s Essence Soul or will was, the harder it was for the Six Desires baneful aura to control them.

Meng Chuan did not use the Power of Essence Soul to block it. He allowed the Six Desires baneful aura to penetrate his Essence Soul and change his body completely.

Mmm? All sorts of desires arose in his heart.

He stood in a garden. From afar, his father, mother, and Qiyue were there. His father was laughing jovially. His mother looked identical to the time she taught him how to draw. Qiyue was carrying a few dishes over. Everyone smiled while shouting, “Chuan’er, come and have dinner.” Meng Chuan really wanted to go over. He wanted to reunite with his family. However, he maintained his clarity of mind and understood that it was all fake.

Soon, the scene dissipated.

Many beauties appeared in front of him. They were extremely enchanting. They only wore thin veils. They were many times more tempting than renowned courtesans in brothels. They clung to Meng Chuan as they enticed him. Sexual desires were naturally possessed by the human body. As he absorbed Six Desires baneful aura, his desires became extremely tempting. Meng Chuan could only endure it.

After the scene dissipated, he found himself in the wilderness. Behind him, demon monarchs were frantically chasing him. Some were on the ground, while others were in the sky. They circled and attacked him.

A strong sense of fear and despair surfaced in his heart. He wanted to live. His desire to live was extremely strong—it was an instinctive desire. His desire to live wanted to drown his consciousness.

I’m refining Six Desires baneful aura. These are all fake. They’re fake. Meng Chuan forcefully resisted his desires. His consciousness was constantly being drawn into different scenarios.

His desires nearly eradicated his rationality and almost caused Meng Chuan to collapse. Once he collapsed, he would be controlled by his desires completely.

However, Meng Chuan’s willpower was insane. His will was over 50% stronger than that was required to reach the Darkness Altar’s summit. He resisted the different desires’ repeated attacks. Some were emotional desires, physical desires, and his goals. All kinds of desires had different effects, but Meng Chuan managed to withstand the attacks.

Whoosh.

Meng Chuan exhaled and regained his senses. He saw the chamber when he opened his eyes. The wisp of Six Desires baneful aura had fused with his Essence Soul completely.

Now, I’ll begin body-tempering with the baneful aura. The nine refinements’ goal was to temper the body. The first eight baneful auras had fused with his body completely. Only the Six Desires baneful aura was required to be absorbed by the Essence Soul first. After this, the body could begin absorbing the baneful aura. This would lead to a balance between body and soul. After everything was balanced, he would be able to attain a perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body in the Godfiend Blood Pool.

Inhale! He inhaled another Six Desires baneful aura wisp. It entered his sea of consciousness immediately. However, this time, he used the Power of Essence Soul to prevent it from penetrating his Essence Soul. Then, he executed the body-tempering saber art with his Saber Intent.

The saber art allowed him to exert greater physical strength, causing his body to absorb the Six Desires baneful aura faster and deeper. He slowly absorbed the baneful aura—his Quintessential Essence enveloped his body and prevented the baneful aura from leaving his body. He took ten minutes to finish refining it.

Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul absorbed three wisps of Six Desires baneful aura, and his body absorbed six wisps. The ratio of one-to-two was the best ratio mentioned in notes regarding the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body. The Lightning Devastator Fiend Body manual, on the other hand, didn’t mention such a thing. It only told the reader to absorb as much as baneful aura they could.

His body could withstand six wisps of Six Desires baneful aura maximum, but his Essence Soul was far from reaching its limits. However, a bottle of Six Desires baneful aura only contained nine wisps.

Absorbing a bottle of Six Desires baneful aura a day is very fast. Meng Chuan wasn’t anxious about finishing the Ninth Refinement.

The next day, Meng Chuan arrived at the Treasure Repository and met Elder Yi again.

“You refined Six Desires baneful aura?” Elder Yi looked at Meng Chuan in shock.

Obtaining the first bottle of Six Desires baneful aura meant that Meng Chuan had completed the Eighth Refinement. Obtaining the second bottle meant that Meng Chuan had completely refined the first bottle of Six Desires baneful aura. It was simply too difficult for mortals to refine Six Desires baneful aura. The requirement on one’s willpower was too high!

There were two difficulties in refining Six Desires baneful aura. Firstly, it was difficult for the soul to absorb Six Desires baneful aura—it required insane willpower. Secondly, even if one’s willpower was insanely high, they could barely maintain clarity of mind when absorbing the Six Desires baneful aura. Due to this, the body-tempering saber art’s effects would be weak. Typically, one could only refine the baneful aura after reaching Greater Mastery of Intent. With these difficulties, a perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body expert would only appear once every few centuries.

“Alright, this is the second bottle of Six Desires baneful aura.” Elder Yi’s eyes were filled with anticipation. Meng Chuan just needed time to complete the Ninth Refinement. Soon, a perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body would appear.

“This is the third bottle.” Elder Yi could see the baneful aura in Meng Chuan’s body with a single glance. He gave him a new bottle. “You are quite fast. You can refine one bottle a day?”

“This is the fifth bottle.”

“This is the tenth bottle.”

“You’ve already finished 50 bottles of Six Desires baneful aura. Meng Chuan, there are many people on the mountain waiting for you to attain a perfected Godfiend Body.” Elder Yi was rather expectant.

Since Meng Chuan collected a bottle of Six Desires baneful aura every day, news spread very quickly. Many people on Archean Mountain knew that Meng Chuan was refining a bottle of Six Desires baneful aura a day. After more than two hundred years, a perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body would appear again.

Among the disciples who had not left the mountain, Meng Chuan was in the limelight.

Excluding Meng Chuan, there had only been one disciple with a perfected transcendent-grade Godfiend body in the past twenty years. That was Xue Feng. Xue Feng had a perfected Black Sand Fiend Body. In Archean Mountain’s public ranking of Godfiend body cultivation difficulty—ignoring the Dragon Divine Body and Phoenix Divine Body, which required an awakened bloodline—five of the other ten transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies had the highest cultivation difficulty. The Lightning Devastator Fiend Body was one of them.

In Archean Mountain’s history, for the five transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies with relatively low cultivation difficulty, a perfected Godfiend body could be seen every ten years. As for the five with higher difficulty, a perfected Godfiend body appeared once every few decades. They were far rarer.

The Dragon Divine Body and Phoenix Divine Body depended purely on luck. An awakened bloodline meant definite success. There was no hope without an awakened bloodline.

As a result, the other disciples were very impressed by Meng Chuan—who was able to cultivate the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body to perfection. He naturally became the focus of attention. Many disciples came to chat with him at every Dao Exchange. They tried to get to know him. After all, they might request Meng Chuan’s help in the future.

Seventieth bottle, eightieth bottle… Meng Chuan finally received the ninetieth bottle.

That night, Meng Chuan refined Six Desires baneful aura.

He wasn’t very excited, but rather puzzled.

I’ve refined 90 bottles of Six Desires baneful aura completely. According to the one to two ratio, my body has absorbed 60 bottles of baneful aura and my Essence Soul has absorbed 30 bottles of baneful aura… However, I haven’t completed the Ninth Refinement. Meng Chuan stood in the chamber, feeling somewhat perplexed and helpless.

I can sense that my body has absorbed Six Desires baneful aura to the limits. What’s lacking is my Essence Soul. My Essence Soul doesn’t seem to have absorbed enough baneful aura, and is far from reaching its limit. According to past seniors’ notes, 90 bottles is usually the limit. Even those with heaven-defying talent would only absorb a few more bottles.

But I think my Essence Soul is still far from my limit. Don’t tell me I need a few dozen more bottles?

Meng Chuan was helpless. It was one thing to take a handful more bottles since he could say that his body was a little special. However, receiving dozens of bottles made it obvious that there was a problem.

Meng Chuan felt helpless…

The next morning, Meng Chuan didn’t go to Thousand Sabers Cavern. Instead, he went to Grotto-Heaven Pavilion to visit his master.
