A problem arose, and I couldn't start the reaction because it required very high temperatures and pressures. I considered using a fission explosion to initiate it, but that would make the process unstable. Then I had an idea: why not use my strange fire to see if it could help? I focused my fire to generate high temperatures in the fusion chamber, and it seemed to work. The only thing left was to start the reaction. I wasted no time and began it. It started without any issues, and in fact, my fire made it more stable. Soon, the reactor's output came in, and it was much larger than before. I instructed the system to use this energy to increase the spiritual concentration of the entire anonymous hall tenfold and to release the excess energy into the surrounding forest.
After completing all this, I turned my attention to my disciples. Both were still focused on their practice, but as the spiritual energy concentration increased, their expressions eased. Perhaps this higher concentration of spiritual energy helped them complete their cultivation and store energy more easily.
Lu Xiaoran was slowly gathering energy into his body, while Roman looked like he was struggling to gather more spiritual energy. I stopped him and asked about his issue. He replied, "Master, I'm facing a problem. I used to practice both eastern and western cultivation at the same time, which made me unbeatable in the same realm. But after reaching the golden core realm, my cultivation became stagnant. I couldn't advance to the soul-forming realm. However, since I got the Nirvana technique and completed its first cycle, I can now break that barrier and advance to the soul-forming realm." After saying this, he hesitated.
I asked, "What's the problem?"
Roman said, "Master, I can only advance if I choose one of the cultivation systems I am practicing, but I want to practice them both simultaneously."
Hearing this, I smiled and said, "That's a simple problem, Roman. You just need to follow my instructions." I then explained how to carve the magic circle on his golden core to stabilize both systems. I cautioned him, "But this is a risky process, and there's only one safe way to complete it."
He asked, "What is that way, Master?"
I replied, "It's straightforward, disciple. You only need to cultivate another power system to create a three-power system practice in your body. You need a strong body to handle the merging of the immortal and magic cultivation systems, and that's only possible if you reach at least the third grade in body cultivation. So before advancing to the next realm, you should cultivate body cultivation to at least peak third grade."
He looked thoughtful and bowed, saying, "I understand now. I will definitely do as you said." He returned to his earlier position, but I stopped him and said, "Disciple, you know that the soul-forming realm is where you form and cultivate your soul."
Roman replied, "Yes, Master, I know that."
Vik added, "If that's the case, you don't need to wait for your next advancement. You can start cultivating your soul by practicing the Abyss soul cultivation method I gave you. It has no realm limitation, and even a Qi refining cultivator can practice it."
His expression changed from surprise to determination. While I was explaining, I also told Lu Xiaoran to practice this method. Soon, both of them focused intently on circulating the method while sitting under a giant tree. They looked like sages seeking enlightenment.
Gradually, comfort appeared on their faces, indicating that they were advancing in their practice. Not wanting them to encounter difficulties, I approached them and began to guide them. I designed the Abyss soul refining technique to be easy for everyone to practice. I believe that the soul is a form of energy that cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed.
Using this as a basis, I created a technique that extends spiritual energy around the original soul, functioning similarly to the soul. You can think of the original soul as a flower plant, with this extension acting like a flower pot; both can grow in this case.
The technique has many other unique features, such as its name, Abyss refining technique. This technique causes the cultivated soul to resemble an abyss of darkness, making it almost impossible to destroy, as the abyss is an incomprehensible concept. Just like an abyss, their soul can absorb any attacks launched against it while maintaining its original form.
As I shifted my focus back to my disciples, I noticed the spiritual energy they gathered flowing into their bodies. Inside, it moved towards their souls, which are not visible to the naked eye. However, due to the accumulation of energy, I could see a dark mass of spiritual energy forming like an abyss inside them. This mass was formless and shapeless, like flowing water or air. But once they accumulated enough, it took on the shape of their bodies. It resembled a dark shadow overlaying their forms.
