During his contemplation, Xin Yun smiled and said, "All right, Lü'er, ti is precious. Next... we should start to work hard. In a while... I will send you into the Chaos Cauldron to undergo the refinent of the chaotic airflow. You need to focus on absorbing the chaotic airflow, refining your body, as well as these eighty-one gourd seeds. If you have any problems, rember to contact at any ti."
"Mhm..." Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, Lü'er obediently nodded her head. She understood that Xin Yun would never harm her but only treat her well. Since that was the case, why should she refuse?
Watching Lü'er's obedient deanor, Xin Yun couldn't help but lower his head and planted a firm kiss on her rosy and fair little face. Feeling Xin Yun's kiss, Lü'er giggled with laughter.
Looking at the lively and adorable Lü'er, Xin Yun tightened his arms around her. He truly did not want to part with her, but as he had said himself, ti was precious, and he couldn't indulge in joy.
In his contemplation, Xin Yun put Lü'er down, gave her a few words of encouragent, and prepared to leave the gourd world. At that mont, he suddenly rembered sothing and stopped his action of leaving. He tentatively said, "By the way, Lü'er, do you know what your spiritual power is? It's not just using gourd seeds to hit people, is it?"
Hearing Xin Yun's words, Lü'er looked at him with confusion and then nodded, saying, "Yes, that's all I can do. Why... is there a problem?"
"Sweat..." With a disappointed smile, Xin Yun shook his head and said, "No, I am not disappointed. You have to diligently cultivate, okay? Only by cultivating hard can you beco powerful in the future."
Hearing Xin Yun's encouragent, the little girl still sensed the disappointnt in his heart. She nervously moved her lips and said with embarrassnt, "Lü'er knows you are disappointed, but your golden light cover is so special. My Soul Scattering Shock can't penetrate it, leaving only physical impacts. Am I really so useless?"
"Wait! Soul Scattering Shock?" Hearing Lü'er's words, Xin Yun's heart stirred, and he suddenly exclaid aloud.
Seeing Xin Yun's astonishnt, Lü'er nodded and said, "Yes, once hit by my gourd seeds, one would suffer seven different energy shocks, each targeting one of the seven souls!"
Seven energies, each targeting one of the seven souls: First Soul Sky Rush, second being Spirit Wisdom, third as Qi, fourth as Strength, fifth as the Central, sixth as Essence, seventh as Hero. If one couldn't withstand the attack, their soul would disperse, and the divine soul would be extinguished!
These ninety-nine gourd seeds, physical shocks are easy to resist, but those Soul Scattering Shocks are unavoidable. Even if one could defend against one or two shocks, it's impossible to defend against all seven. You see... among these seven Soul Scattering Shocks, there's physical, energy, ntal, and soul, a variety. Unless one can defend against all types, they are bound to be injured by it.
The reason Xin Yun didn't feel it was actually because of the Chaos Bell. With the Chaos Bell suspended above his head, it was impervious to all laws. No matter what kind of attack, it was nearly impossible to be effective. Xin Yun had forgotten this and thought that the gourd seeds were rely physical impacts, not realizing they also contained seven Soul Scattering Shocks!
But how many treasures are there with similar all-encompassing defenses? Chaos Bell is one, Twelve-Rank Lotus Platform is another, and the Exquisite Pagoda of the Heavenly Kings is one more. Beyond these, it's not easy to find similar defensive treasures.
Moreover, even though these magical artifacts can provide protection, it's not practical to constantly wear them on one's head or sit on them, right? Once the Red Gourd reflects back to its Innate state and transforms into an Innate Spiritual Treasure, the act of Soul Scattering will beco a law—a law of heaven and earth that not even a sage can resist. If one were to be struck by this, they would likewise suffer soul-shattering consequences.
A person's consciousness and mory are contained within their soul, with spirit being one of the seven souls. Besides that, there are the physical soul, the Qi soul... Once the seven souls are impacted, even a saint would instantly enter a state of chaos, with disordered spirit, loss of self-awareness, and complete unconsciousness without any reaction, simply standing there dazed and enduring the attack, totally incapable of counterattacking or dodging.
Furthermore, if the impact is too great or the cumulative impacts exceed the body's limit of endurance, one's soul will disperse instantaneously. Dispersed soul, flying spirit, this is what is known as a soul scattering and spirit flying; the divine soul utterly annihilated. This is already the ultimate that can be achieved. Even an Innate Supre Treasure can only do so much. A person's True Spirit, however, cannot be destroyed by any ans, one can be reborn through reincarnation, but they would lose all their mories.
As he contemplated, Xin Yun finally understood why it was called the Ninety-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd. Ninety-nine symbolizes the eighty-one gourd seeds, and Soul Scattering represents its function. In summary, it was eighty-one gourd seeds with the ability to scatter souls!
Of course, there are also those who call it the Ninety-Nine Red Cloud Soul-Dispelling Gourd. Although he didn't know the specific aning, he guessed it was similar to the Donghuang Bell. Donghuang represents Taiyi, with the bell nad after the person, the sa logic. Similarly, Red Cloud also followed this rationale, the na coming from the fact that the gourd belonged to the Red Cloud Ancestor.
How powerful is this treasure? Correct... incredibly powerful. Just imagine... being hit by one seed, and all seven souls would be impacted at the sa ti, entering a chaotic, stunned state, standing or running around aimlessly, utterly incapable of counterattacking or thinking.
If there were only one seed, perhaps one could withstand it, as chaos does have a ti limit. But there are as many as eighty-one seeds, and under a barrage of rapid-fire, one would not recover from the chaos before the next gourd seed hit them. Eighty-one seeds shooting in succession, continually until death, it's unlikely one could ever react.
Powerful, incredibly powerful. Although he didn't know the future might of it, in terms of offense, it was definitely not inferior to the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls. Not to ntion the soul-scattering shock, just the sheer number was more than three tis greater.
Satisfied, Xin Yun withdrew from the Red Gourd and pondered for a mont. The gourd would still have to be called the Ninety-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, as only this na was most fitting. Changing it to sothing else would not seem quite right!
As he pondered, Xin Yun flipped his right hand, and the Chaos Cauldron slowly floated out from the top of his head. The black mist beca clear, sucking the vermilion gourd inside, and the process of reflecting back to its Innate state began at this mont!
If this were before, Xin Yun wouldn't need to continue observing, as everything could be automatically completed by the Chaos Cauldron. But this ti was different; this was the Companion Spirit Treasure that Xin Yun would carry with him for a lifeti. The more he understood, the deeper his insights and comprehension, not to be overlooked.
As he contemplated, Xin Yun sat cross-legged, the Chaos Cauldron suspended in front of him. He slowly closed his eyes and once again imrsed his mind into the Red Gourd, rging with the Bodhi entity, together drawing the boundless chaotic airflow within the Chaos Cauldron, cleansing and refining the eighty-one gourd seeds, as well as the Bodhi entity itself.
Ti flowed ceaselessly. Xin Yun remained silent and motionless. Apart from eating, drinking, and the necessities, he spent all his ti here. The gourd seeds were rapidly refined at the rate of one per day. When the eighty-first day arrived, only the last gourd seed remained. Once refined, his three months of effort, with the help of the Chaos Cauldron, would transform this Postnatal Spirit Treasure Embryo into an Innate Spirit Treasure Embryo.
Once transford, Xin Yun would possess another Innate Spirit Treasure Embryo of unimaginable potential. As long as it was properly cultivated, even if it may not be as powerful as an Innate Supre Treasure, it would definitely be a treasure on par with the likes of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, perhaps even more formidable in power. After all, on the Innate level, the Red Gourd was certainly no match for a branch of the Bodhi Tree. (To be continued. If you wish to find out what happens next, please visit .
