Chapter 576: Chapter 367 Cultivation Technique Conflict

The sudden turmoil in Xu Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness caused a slight change in Tianyan’s previously calm and indifferent expression.

Will-spirit is both strong and resilient, yet at the same time, it is extremely fragile.

When speaking of its resilience, during the deployment of will-spirit secret techniques, the will-spirit can even become corporeal.

Speaking of its fragility, the will-spirit is a whole; if one thread is pulled, the entire body is affected, especially when one, like just now, pours all of their mind and heart into it.

At such times, even if there is merely a strand of will-spirit that is diluted to the extreme, the backlash can be severe and might even lead oneself into going berserk.

However, now is not the time to worry about herself.

She could indeed initiate a secret technique to cut off this segment of will-spirit, just like a lizard sheds its tail.

Doing so would also consume some will-spirit, but with several hours of recuperation, it would recover. However, by doing so, the rascal before her would suffer greatly.

The pieces of severed Celestial Fates Divine Soul would not dissipate but would instead run rampant within Xu Yuan’s body.

A strand of Primordial Realm’s Celestial Fates Divine Soul, no matter how inconsequential, is not something Xu Yuan’s current level of cultivation can withstand.

And indeed, Xu Yuan was in great discomfort.

Even though Tianyan began controlling the intrusion of will-spirit and Origin Qi into his body the moment the trouble started, his whole body still felt as if it was going to fall apart.

First was due to Tianyan’s slightly chaotic Origin Qi, second was because his Sea of Consciousness felt as if it was about to burst.

Though it lasted only a moment, since the incident occurred within his own Sea of Consciousness, Xu Yuan still sensed what had just happened.

Everything within a cultivator’s body can be described as an exquisitely precise machine, whether it’s the meridians, Dantian, or Sea of Consciousness; they all possess a strong rejection to foreign elements.

Among them, the Sea of Consciousness is the most sensitive.

If it is contaminated with too much of another person’s will-spirit essence, an aversion reaction will erupt.

To avoid unintentionally polluting his Sea of Consciousness, Tianyan nearly stripped all impurities from that strand of Celestial Fates Divine Soul that entered his Sea of Consciousness.

It is precisely because of such actions that her strand of Celestial Fates Divine Soul was completely defenseless, like a piece of crystal-clear tofu.

In the instant this "tofu" entered, the will-spirit that dwelt within Xu Yuan’s own Sea of Consciousness moved on its own.

It transformed into thousands of sharp blades as if in response to a stimulus, slicing that strand of Celestial Fates Divine Soul into countless pieces, then grinding it down thoroughly as if by a millstone into ownerless Soul Power.

The accompanying secret technique of Blood Essence Meteoring Art... began to operate on its own!

The room was silent,

With the two sitting opposite each other in meditation, Tianyan’s brow was deeply furrowed, and Xu Yuan’s face was pale. A slight breeze emanated from the center where they sat, setting her waterfall-like long black hair and the snow-white bed curtains in motion.

This seemingly lengthy silence continued for an unknown duration,

"Release."

"Rustle..."

The Zhen Yan released, the soft bed sank, and Xu Yuan collapsed on the bedding, staring blankly at the white curtains.

Tianyan still sat upright, watching him for a few breaths before speaking softly,

"Xu Yuan, can this secret technique of yours... not stop?"

"Mm."

Xu Yuan’s complexion hadn’t improved, remaining pale as he spoke with a bit of breathlessness, "Can’t... can’t stop, and... my Sea of Consciousness probably won’t withstand your Soul Power."

The Origin Qi within the meridians that was about to burst had already been subdued by Tianyan, but the aching and swelling feeling in the Sea of Consciousness grew even more intense.

The nameless will-spirit technique was still operating on its own.

If comparing the act of devouring another’s will-spirit by this secret technique to a full circle as enjoying a feast, then just now was only the slaughter and preparation of the ingredients, and now was the time to enjoy the meal.

It was only the beginning and Xu Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness already felt saturated.

Tianyan’s Celestial Fates Divine Soul, even just a strand, contained much more Soul Power than Su Jinxuan’s Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm.

For the current Xu Yuan, it was as if twenty pounds of bloody meat were being forcefully stuffed into a skinny bamboo pole.

The stomach of the skinny bamboo pole would burst.

And his Sea of Consciousness was the same—it would explode.

Having confirmed the speculation in her heart, Tianyan’s heartbeat gradually sped up, her mind racing to think of strategies to cope.

Subconsciously wanting to blurt out a "Seal" Heavenly Word Mantra to forcefully stop the bizarre operation of Xu Yuan’s secret technique, but before the words could escape her lips, she hesitated.

She can’t do that...

Though the Heavenly Word Mantra’s powers could definitely stop his technique, the question was, what then?

Her will-spirit that had been absorbed would not disappear without reason.

Stopping this secret technique would only cause those shredded Soul Powers to lose their guidance.

And without guidance, those pure Soul Powers would run amuck.

For a cultivator, if the Sea of Consciousness is compromised, at best one becomes berserk, at worst directly loses consciousness and becomes a vegetative state.

Considering this, she immediately dismissed the method.

Tianyan’s two snow-white fangs gradually bit into the corner of her lip, looking at his pale face:

"In... in the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm, I never saw you cultivate such a secret technique, how come, suddenly..."

"The body of pure yang lacks meridians, this secret technique... should only be suitable for an Innate Taoist Body."

"...."

Tianyan’s breath paused slightly, her palms clenching unconsciously.

She realized she was at a loss for what to do with the situation before her.

For others, it would be enough to simply release this ownerless Soul Power, but the problem is her Celestial Fates Divine Soul was evidently in conflict with Xu Yuan’s will-spirit secret technique.

She dared not allow her divine soul to enter his Sea of Consciousness to guide it.

As thoughts raced through her mind, Tianyan suddenly realized she was somewhat disturbed by her concern.

Because above this Xuanying Attic, she was not the only unparalleled individual; if she couldn’t do it, she could ask someone else.

Just as she was thinking this,

Tianyan heard Xu Yuan, lying weakly on the bed, speak in a low voice:
