Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws Chapter 774: Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement, Saint, I Want To Learn Weaponsmithing

Chapter 774: Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement, Saint, I Want To Learn Weaponsmithing

"Congratulations, Host. You've won a God-tier cultivation technique, the Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement."
Chu Kuangren had just completed his daily draw on this day.
The God-tier cultivation technique was a pleasant surprise.
It was his second time drawing a God-tier cultivation technique. The last one he drew was the Stellar Undying Body.
Soul Refinement seemed like a cultivation technique that targeted one's soul.
As such, Chu Kuangren's eyes lit up.
He had been wanting to strengthen his soul even further. Hence, the arrival of a God-tier soul cultivation technique was perfect timing.
Chu Kuangren retrieved the technique, and a large amount of information flooded his mind.
It took him a while to learn all there was to know about the cultivation technique.
"Holy sh*t! This is at least as good as the Stellar Undying Body, or probably even better!"
"What a God-tier technique this is. Amazing!"
At Chu Kuangren's current stage, there were only a few things in this world that could shock him.
However, the mythical properties of the Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement were enough to make him jump out of his seat.
The Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement was a cultivation technique that targeted cultivating one's soul. The nine cycles referred to the nine levels unique to this technique.
Trinity was largely related to the process of refinement.
The cultivation technique allowed a person to split their souls into three parts!
That's right, three!
The souls were named Heaven, Hell, and Earth!
Refining a soul into three parts?
That was basically unheard of.
The technique allowed a cultivator to refine their soul into three parts before eventually merging them again. If this process was repeated nine times, then the soul would ascend into what was known as the State of Immortality.
"Cultivate!"
Without further delay, Chu Kuangren began cultivating.
Having already possessed powerful soul energy, Chu Kuangren had what it took to reach the Third Cycle immediately.
His soul energy began to divide on its own before it cloned a spiritual body that looked the same as Chu Kuangren.
It was the Hell Soul. Soon, Chu Kuangren's Earth Soul was summoned as well.
Chu Kuangren's physical body was sat in a cross-knee position, while his souls were resting on lotuses above his head.
"How are you doing?"
Chu Kuangren's Heaven Soul greeted his Hell and Earth Soul.
Although the technique allowed one to split his soul into three, only one of the souls was considered the original.
That would be the Heaven Soul.
This ensured that the cultivator's souls would not harm each other during a fight for whatsoever reasons.
"Greetings."
The Hell Soul responded.
"This feels surreal."
The Earth Soul said to the Heaven Soul and Hell Soul.
The souls shared the same consciousness and memories. Yet, they were somehow independent of one another.
"I'm basically talking to myself now. Why does this feel like split personality disorder?" the Heaven Soul said mischievously.
"Technically speaking, we all share the same personality. There's no split in personalities here." The Hell Soul corrected.
"Alright. Chat's over. Let's merge."
The Earth Soul said.
The Earth Soul and Hell Soul turned into a ray of light before fusing with the Heaven Soul and forming a singular spiritual entity.
The First Cycle of the Nine-Cycle Trinity was completed!
Chu Kuangren activated the Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement again.
"Hello, we meet again." The Heaven Soul waved his hand.
"Can you stop being so lame?" The Hell Soul rolled his eyes.
"Are we not the same person?"
"..."
The Hell Soul could not refute.
"I can feel our soul energies becoming stronger."
The Earth Soul said.
"It's also more purified now."
The Hell Soul sensed his energies and said.
"Let's merge."
The Hell Soul and Earth Soul once again merged with the Heaven Soul.
The Second Cycle of the Nine-Cycle Trinity was completed.
Then came the Third Cycle!
The trinity emerged again.
"Hello there, we…"
"Skip the nonsense and merge."
"Fine."
With the remerging of the three souls, the Third Cycle was completed.
After the Third Cycle, Chu Kuangren could sense that his soul energies had become much stronger. Not only that, but his cognizance and understanding of the Dao had also improved.
"The Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement is such a marvelous technique. It improves both my soul energies and cognizance."
"Hold on. Does it mean that if I try to gain insights into new techniques now, there'll be three of me working at the same time?"
Chu Kuangren muttered to himself.
He then reactivated the Soul Refinement and attempted to complete the Forth Cycle.
However, after half a day of endeavor, Chu Kuangren had only managed to pursue a grey ball of soul flame. It was the soul flame of the Hell Soul.
It seemed like Chu Kuangren needed a much longer time to complete this cycle.
"Is this the limit?"
Chu Kuangren murmured.
He could complete the first three cycles with ease because his soul energies had met the prerequisites. Nevertheless, things were not as simple for the Fourth Cycle.
In order to cultivate a Hell Soul, Chu Kuangren would require twice the amount of soul energies he currently possessed.
To cultivate three souls would require Chu Kuangren to have four times the amount of energy.
"Being able to achieve the Third Cycle with such speed is already a great feat. I guess I should take my time for now."
Chu Kuangren said lightly.
As his soul returned to his physical body, Chu Kuangren opened his eyes and cast his Emperor Thought over all of Flame Bulwark Tribe.
From the cultivators' conversations, Chu Kuangren deduced that he had spent a month cultivating the Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement.
Feng Gu had long returned with a group of cultivators who were here to learn about alchemy and weaponsmithing.
"Let's go and meet these people."
Chu Kuangren went to look for Yan Wu and Feng Gu as soon as he exited his room.
"Saint Cang, you've come out from your closed-door meditation."
Yan Wu and Feng Gu greeted Chu Kuangren.
For reasons strange to himself, Feng Gu could somehow sense that Chu Kuangren, despite still having zero cultivation, had become more unfathomable.
What a mad lad.
One month was all it took for him to produce such fascinating changes.
No wonder he was called a saint.
Feng Gu's eyes were filled with admiration.
"Yes, Brother Feng Gu. I've taken notice of the people that you've brought here with you. From now onwards, they shall stay in the Flame Bulwark Tribe and learn the techniques of alchemy and weaponsmithing," Chu Kuangren smiled and said.
"Thank you, Saint Cang."
Then, Chu Kuangren went to meet the cultivators brought here by Feng Wu.
These cultivators were some of the earliest warriors who existed in history, and their abilities would make them formidable sky-prides even in the modern era.
Chu Kuangren said to them, "Alchemy and weaponsmithing are no simpler than refining qi. It requires a large amount of endeavor and sacrifice to master these skills. Spreading your attention over multiple disciplines will only lead you nowhere and delay your progress in refining qi. Please think this through before committing to a decision."
Upon hearing this, the cultivators hesitated.
"Saint Cang, is there no way to perfect my techniques in both disciplines?"
"Unless you're blessed with extraordinary talents, I'd suggest you pick a discipline and focus all of your attention on it. If you feel that qi refinement doesn't suit you well, perhaps you can try out alchemy or weaponsmithing," said Chu Kuangren.
"Looks like I was too greedy," said Feng Gu.
One could not have everything in this world.
Choices existed for a reason.
After all, how many people could possess abilities as impressive as Saint Cang?
"I want to stay."
A cultivator interrupted.
It was a young, muscular cultivator whose cultivation was amongst the weakest in the group.
In his hand was a steel sword. The young cultivator was utterly in awe of it. He said to Chu Kuangren, "Saint, I wish to learn weaponsmithing."
