My construction materials are weird

Yuan Tianchun had the confidence to do this.

He knew he wasn't the Old Heaven's favored son, but he was the Xuan Master's personal disciple.

With the Xuan Master present and the Divine Soul Visualization suppressing him, he wouldn't get lost; the Visualization suppressed by the Jianmu would pull him back.

As long as he didn't court death, he wouldn't truly get lost.

This was why he chose the 《Dao Harmonization Array Rune》 for his first-tier Natal Array Rune.

Yuan Tianchun only slightly revealed the power of his Natal Array, and this small revelation made everyone think he had the potential for the fourth tier.

Another person considered to have the potential for the fourth tier was Sun Bole.

The Sect Leader of the Spirit Beast Sect, the first to learn the Ordinary Beast Seal, and also the first to learn the Fundamental Imprint, though it's now called the Natal Beast Seal. This change in name is also a development of the times, for the sake of unified nomenclature.

Just as Yuan Tianchun's array is called the Natal Array Rune, the Beastmaster's is called the Natal Beast Seal.

《The Way of Beast Mastery》 is comprehensive, with 《The Divine Division Method》 specifically for cultivation, which is also the reason for the establishment of the Spirit Beast Sect.

《The Divine Division Method》 can divide into nine Divine Souls, each of which can possess a spirit beast, equivalent to having nine extra lives.

However, the disadvantage of the Divine Division Method, as mentioned before, is the difficulty of unification at higher levels.

Everyone glosses over this point, focusing on reaching the higher levels first. Without the God Sealing Method, even the third tier is unattainable, let alone higher levels.

This time, Sun Bole chose to possess a spirit beast for his advancement.

This spirit beast also came from the Ancient World, specifically from the Jiuli Tribe.

Currently, the Ancient World has completed unification, integrated by three leaders. They chose to fade their specific names and uniformly call themselves the Jiuli Clan, the Shennong Clan, and the Xuanyuan Clan, names that resonate with the Main World.

This must have been advised by an expert.

It would make the cultivators of the Main World instinctively favor them upon seeing their names.

Currently, the Ancient World is developing well.

They originally had nothing, no cultivation methods, no civilization, nothing at all, except for local specialties that cultivators of the Main World greatly favored.

And these local specialties were once the bloodlines of the gods who enslaved and ruled them.

Whenever they recalled the so-called gods' enslavement and domestication, they would grit their teeth in hatred, perfectly suited to act as guides, leading the Main World's cultivators to capture these divine beast bloodlines.

Furthermore, the Ancient World has another special feature: even the members of the Merit Hall are fond of them.

Therefore, the Ancient World is currently the only world that needs to be managed by the Merit Hall.

Such a place cannot be exploited; it can only be managed according to the rules.

Many spirit beasts with divine beast bloodlines in the Ancient World are being systematically captured and gathered.

The cultivators haven't gone too far, and there are even plans for long-term domestication.

This reversal left the Jiuli Clan dumbfounded.

They seemed to understand the saying of the Main World's cultivators: fairness and truth are built on strength.

If you are strong, you are the truth.

Sun Bole's first clone was a Flood Dragon with Dragon bloodline from the Ancient World, a Green Wood Flood Dragon.

It was the darling of the Way of Wood, a top-tier egg that had already entered the tier.

That's right, it was a Flood Dragon egg.

Because anything related to dragons, even a trace, is extraordinary, even if it's not a true dragon but a Flood Dragon with Dragon bloodline.

Even if it couldn't be considered a Flood Dragon, but a Horned Dragon.

Even so, it was already top-tier upon entering the tier before birth, and would be Transcendent First Tier as soon as it hatched.

Sun Bole could only say he was lucky; this Flood Dragon egg had long been complete, ready to hatch, but it would lose control upon transcending.

Presumably, it had a psychic connection and thus hadn't been born, wanting to avoid danger and wait for the right time and place to emerge.

He happened to discover it and brought it back as if he had found a treasure.

Moreover, Dragon eggs have an advantage: their wisdom and will are much lower than hatched Flood Dragons, which is conducive to his Divine Division success.

Waiting for the Sect Leader to successfully emerge from seclusion.

The Sect Leader had great perseverance and courage this time, not only stepping into Transcendence but also condensing the Natal Beast Seal, a great challenge and a great opportunity.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being the Sect Leader, doing what ordinary people dare not do.

Naturally, his breakthrough also received the attention of Xuanhuang.

"Break!"

"Open!"

Sun Bole is a Spirit Refinement cultivator, and it can be said that most of the Spirit Beast Sect are Spirit Refinement cultivators, with a small number of Qi Refinement cultivators.

After all, the Divine Division Method is most friendly to Spirit Refinement cultivators.

Two green and two gray, four large seals, bombarded the darkness.

"Crack!"

Like an earthquake and mountain collapse, Sun Bole's Violet Palace was opened, revealing the Divine Void.

Also nine zhang in size, similar to Wang Zihao.

In the Violet Palace Divine Void, Sun Bole chose to condense three Divine Mountains, three zhang in size each, not one nine-zhang Divine Mountain.

This was already an open secret.

The Xuan Master personally told Wu Hui and others that if they had the courage and ability, they should try to divide the Divine Mountain into three, which would help with the understanding of the third-tier Dao Three and also help break the three attachments.

If they felt that they were ordinary and didn't have any outstanding talent, they should condense one Divine Mountain instead.

Sun Bole had strong confidence in himself, so he also divided the Divine Mountain into three, turning it into three three-zhang-high Divine Mountains.

When the Divine Void was opened and the Divine Mountains were condensed, the Returning Ruins Great Mill Visualization directly broke through the air and floated in the Divine Void like a sky curtain, steadily suppressing the Transcendent Divine Soul.

Instantly, Sun Bole felt a great sense of satisfaction.

Hearing others say it countless times is not as good as experiencing it once.

He had long heard that the moment of opening the Divine Void is the most critical, when twisted Heavenly Intent will attack.

Only by having the Visualization suppress the Dantian can one avoid the attack of twisted Heavenly Intent.

Moreover, the twisted Heavenly Intent will be shattered by the Visualization, turning into nourishment for growth.

For example, at this moment, Sun Bole shared the gift of the twisted Heavenly Intent, the essence refined by the Returning Ruins Great Mill Visualization.

The entire Divine Void was greatly improved.

But Sun Bole had only completed half of it; he still had things to do.

Next was to condense the Natal Beast Seal and then possess the Flood Dragon egg.

The moment he was about to do so, a pure white Qi Seed floated out from the Returning Ruins Great Mill.

"Innate Qi Seed!"

Sun Bole was pleasantly surprised; it had finally come. He thought he would have to wait until he had completely finished.

Sun Bole, riding the momentum, was already full of confidence. The appearance of the innate Qi seed further enhanced his abilities, making failure impossible.

“Hiss!”

“Whirr!”

“Rumble!”

After all, dividing the spirit is akin to splitting one's own soul, instantly consuming half of it.

Even with his powerful foundation, he felt a sharp pain in his soul, surpassing any physical pain.

The newly formed Divine Void was even unstable due to the soul division. Fortunately, the Visualization Diagram of the Returning Ruins Great Mill flickered with light, suppressing the turbulence.

“Whew!”

The reason he transcended a day later than Wang Zihai and Yuan Tianchun was due to this.

It took Sun Bole a full day to recover, even with the help of two first-tier Divine Soul Pills.

That's why Wang Zihai and the others emerged from seclusion yesterday, while he was still recovering.

A day later, Sun Bole, having finally recovered some strength, brought the Flood Dragon Egg into his Divine Void.

Without a mistake, first issue, first release, first content, first look!

The Flood Dragon Egg struggled slightly, but to no avail. After all, Sun Bole was a Transcendent, not comparable to a top-tier Entrance-level Flood Dragon Egg.

“Suppress!”

With a loud shout, Sun Bole suppressed the Flood Dragon Egg's restlessness.

The separated spirit flashed and entered the dormant Flood Dragon Egg.

The detailed risks and dangers will not be elaborated upon. After all, he was the first person to attempt spirit possession, lacking experience and relying solely on his strength.

In short, without going into detail, Sun Bole finally succeeded.

He successfully possessed the Flood Dragon Egg and imprinted his own Natal Beast Mark within it.

This Natal Mark is not for defense against spiritual beasts, as their souls are destroyed during the possession.

Strictly speaking, the Natal Beast Mark is for controlling his own divided spirit.

Without this Natal Mark, the divided spirit would have the risk of independent rebellion.

An apt analogy would be like transplanting a seedling. Although it's cut from the same main root, they become two separate plants.

Therefore, the Natal Mark is to guard against one's own divided spirit.

Only with the Natal Mark imprinted can the divided spirit truly be one's own, without fear of losing control.

He can make it live or die at will.

These are some of the drawbacks of the 'Spirit Division Technique'. After all, it's impossible for such a powerful technique to have no flaws.

“Be born, my Dao companion.”

After everything was successful, Sun Bole, through the Natal Mark, controlled everything about the divided spirit. A sense of perfect harmony arose.

Although it slightly altered his mind and emotions, it could be overcome.

After all, it had just been divided, and he needed to settle down a bit.

“Crack!”

Having received instructions from the original body, the divided soul, now transformed into a Flood Dragon spirit, began to hatch.

A cyan Flood Dragon, a miniature version, appeared, only three meters long.

Even though it was three meters long.

After its birth, it instinctively devoured its entire eggshell. The moment it finished, its length had already reached five meters.

Flood Dragons, and even spiritual beasts, mostly follow the path of refining essence, with the exception of a few special cases.

The Flood Dragon was the same. Despite Sun Bole being a Spirit Refinement cultivator, his first clone followed the Essence Refinement system.

As the five-meter-long Flood Dragon finished eating the eggshell and let out a roar, it began to transform.

It would step into Transcendence upon birth; it was that powerful.

“Eat this.”

Sun Bole quickly tossed over a Transcendence pill, a first-tier Essence Blood Pill.

“Roar!” The Flood Dragon excitedly opened its mouth and swallowed the pill.

It was already sufficient for advancement, but swallowing a pill was like adding wings to a tiger.

Therefore, the speed of transformation was extremely fast. When the Flood Dragon broke through, Sun Bole's greatest worry arrived.

How to suppress the soul?

Would he suppress it as a unified entity, or would a Visualization Diagram also appear in the Flood Dragon's soul to suppress it?

This was the only thing he didn't understand.

Again, in this era of pioneering, encountering an irresponsible Dao Lord who also served as a teacher, these disciples could only explore on their own.

Fortunately.

At the moment the Flood Dragon transformed, in Sun Bole's Divine Void, the Returning Ruins Great Mill Visualization Diagram flickered, as if piercing through the darkness with a thread.

The other end of this thread was the Flood Dragon.

“Whew, that is to say, I am the main body, and my soul has suppression. If my clone has a soul, it will also have suppression. So that's how it is.” Sun Bole understood.

“However, since the Flood Dragon Dao companion is going to follow the path of body refinement, it would be best to comprehend the Heaven and Earth Furnace on its own. Would that mean I would be practicing both body refinement and spirit refinement?”

Sun Bole suddenly discovered a blind spot.

A place that greatly surprised him.

“If my next clone is Qi refinement, wouldn't that mean I'm cultivating essence, Qi, and spirit? This…?” Sun Bole dared not imagine it.

“Calm down, calm down. There are gains and losses. I only see the gains, and there must be losses. I only see the opportunities but not the difficulties. It definitely won't be that simple.”

In fact, it was already influencing him, after all, it was a divided spirit.

Cutting off half of the soul to condense a clone would cause some mental confusion.

He was originally a bitter and resentful person, but now he was active and excited, which was a bit abnormal, but he hadn't noticed it yet.

Of course, it wouldn't blind this person. He was in an unstable state after just breaking through and would alleviate after stabilizing for a while.

As for his saying that it definitely wouldn't be that simple, he was right.

There are gains and losses; the world has always been like this. There won't only be gains without losses.

It seemed like he could cultivate all three, but what about the time spent? What about the difficulties involved?

The most important point, which shattered his fantasies, was something Xuan Huang and Bi Xia had mentioned before.

It was the key to the Transcendence Method.

Those who cultivate all three need to suppress their own will. If they want to walk this path, they not only need external suppression but also internal, complete, and circulating suppression.

In other words, if he wanted to cultivate all three, he would have to forge a true will on his own.

This would drive him to despair.

As for the other troubles, they wouldn't be mentioned. He couldn't even accomplish the cultivation of true will.

Soul division plus just advancing caused him to be a bit chaotic at the moment, but he would be fine after calming down for a period of time.

In short, Sun Bole succeeded.

He not only entered Transcendence but also successfully divided his spirit, possessing the Flood Dragon and making it his clone.

And driven by this, his original nine-zhang Divine Void expanded to twelve zhang, the same area as Wang Zihai and the others.

I forgot to mention earlier that Yuan Tianchun and Wang Dalei also had their spiritual fields and Qi seas expanded to twelve zhang due to their Natal Formations and Thunder God Bodies.

In short, the reason why the four were said to have fourth-tier aptitude was inseparable from their twelve-zhang Dantian.

This didn't need to be kept secret; all four had announced it.

After all, they were still the leaders of the four forces. Others could keep it secret, but as the leaders of the alliance, they didn't need to, and even had to publicize it greatly.

This was conducive to increasing morale and consolidating the cohesion of their own forces.

The will of the people.
