Chapter 148 Condensing The Second Soul Core

"Time to condense my Second Soul Core."

The reason he had come to the Star Dou Forest this time was half-completed, it is time to begin completing the other half.

However, it takes a lot of time to condense the Second Soul Core. It is obviously inappropriate to condense it here. He suddenly remembered the Valley he had condensed his First Soul Core in. Although the Valley is a little far away from here, it will not take long to get there.

He spread out his Wind-Thunder Wings behind him and flew towards the Valley.

Two hours later, Chen Feng arrived at the Valley, he released his Mental Power and after confirming that there was nothing there that could threaten him, he began to condense his Second Soul Core.

The difficulty of condensing the Second Soul Core is multiple times higher than the difficulty of condensing the First Soul Core, especially if the Second Soul Core is condensed using the Yin Yang Complement Technique. In the Peerless Tang Sect, Huo Yuhao had Six Spirit Rings and condensed his Soul Core with the help of the Skydream Silkworm's help.

Chen Feng does not have a Spiritual Being like the Skydream Silkworm in his Sea of Consciousness and could, therefore, only rely on himself, though whether it is Mental Power, Spirit Power or Physical Fitness, he is hundreds of times stronger than the Huo Yuhao when he was condensing his Soul Core.

To condense the Second Soul Core, the first thing that needs to be done is the Spirit Power in the First Soul Core must be extracted.

After Chen Feng sat cross-legged, he began to use his Spirit Power to drive the compressed Spirit Power around his Upper Dantian's Soul Core outward.

This is not an easy task. His total Spirit Power is huge, it is impossible to store this Spirit Power in his meridians, so he first needs to find a place to temporarily store this Spirit Power.

Fortunately, he had long found a place to temporarily store his Spirit Power, and that temporary store is his Spirit Bones, he is going to use his Torso Bone as the store for his Spirit Power.

To condense the Third Soul Core or even the Fourth Soul Core in the future, he can only condense his Second Soul Core in the chest, and his chest is protected and within the range of his, making it the most appropriate store for his Spirit Power.

If one took a look inside him, you would find that the Spirit Bones on Chen Feng's back and chest are emitting dark golden light, the Spirit Power that was extracted from his First Soul Core is quickly sucked by the dark golden light, quickly disappearing from view, as if it was not there in the first place.

Everything went smoothly in the beginning, and the Spirit Power that he extracted was no different from his usual Spirit Power.

But when the extracted Spirit Power began to exceed a certain amount, his Soul Core started to operate, releasing his Mental Power outward.

Normally, the released Mental Power would arouse the Heaven and Earth Vitality, before absorbing it into his body and transforming it into Spirit Power, recovering consumed Spirit Power.

This is also a strength of condensing a Soul Core. Even if a Spirit Master does not meditate and focus on recovering Spirit Power, their Soul Core does the work for them and automatically restores consumed Spirit Power.

But currently, this automatic restoration of Spirit Power is an issue, after all, if he works hard in extracting the Spirit power from the Soul Core, only for the Soul Core to restore it immediately, wouldn't he have wasted all his efforts?

Therefore, Chen Feng mobilized his Mental Power to form a dark golden halo on the surface of his body. This halo blocked the connection his Soul Core has with the Heaven and Earth Vitality, preventing it from automatically recovering and restoring the extracted Spirit Power.

As he extracted more and more of his Spirit Power, the Soul Core's pull on the Heaven and Earth Vitality increased, only for it to be blocked by his Mental Power.

When the pull became too strong, Chen Feng could only slow down the speed he is extracting the Spirit Power at and allocate part of his energy and attention to maintain the stability of his Soul Core and blocking the connection between the Heaven and Earth Vitality and his Soul Core.

As time passed, he had extracted more and more of his Spirit Power, 50%, 60%, 70%- the Torso Bone that was temporarily storing his extracted Spirit Power emitted intense dark golden light that became brighter as more extracted Spirit Power was poured into it. However, the Torso Bone is far from being saturated with Spirit Power and had room for more extracted Spirit Power.

When the extracted Spirit Power reached 90%, even if Chen Feng allocated a portion of his energy and attention to maintain the stability of his Soul Core, the Soul Core was still trembling slightly.

He could only slow down the speed he was extracting Spirit Power and allocate more energy and attention to maintain the stability of the Soul Core.

Because of this, he had begun to feel resistance and pain as the process went on, he could only persevere and stand steadfast in the face of this pain.

As the pain's intensity increased, he furrowed his brows and sweat had begun to wet his clothes, yet he continued sitting there motionless.

He did not know how much time had passed before he had finally finished extracting the Spirit Power in his First Soul Core.

Since the first step has been completed, he must proceed onto the next step, and that is to recondense the Spirit Power and form another Soul Core in his chest. While the Second Soul Core is being condensed, the First Soul Core will resist, after all, it will be like two tigers on one mountain, they will not be able to tolerate each other nor cede any territory to the other part.

Therefore, at the beginning of the second step, he isolated his First Soul Core was, he will allow the two Soul Cores to reconnect and complete the Yin Yang Complement Technique after the Second Soul Core has completely condensed and is stable.

A trace of Spirit Power gushed out from the Torso Bone, it began heading to his chest, once it reached there, the Spirit Power began to slowly rotate.

His First Soul Core that is at the centre of his forehead, between his eyes rotates in a clockwise direction, while the trace of Spirit Power in his chest rotates in a counter clockwise direction.

The initial rotation speed of this trace of Spirit Power is not fast, but every time it rotates, Spirit Power will gush out from the Torso Bone and be absorbed by it.

As the volume of Spirit Power in his chest continued to increase, the speed it rotated at, similarly increased.

When this trace of Spirit Power expanded to the size of a grain of rice, the First Soul Core at the centre of his brows noticed something was wrong and began to tremble slightly. Chen Feng could only forcefully control and suppress it.

However, the process of condensing the Second Soul Core and the resistance from the First Soul Core places a huge burden on the body. If one's body is not strong enough, the body can collapse at any time.

When the Spirit Power in his chest had expanded to the size of a soybean, gradually, Chen Feng could not suppress the resistance of the First Soul Core. Thus, he relinquished some of his hold and suppression on it, opening a tiny hole in his barrier.

As soon as this opening appeared, the surging Mental Power in his First Soul Core rushed out and headed straight to his chest, it was trying to crush the soybean sized Second Soul Core.

Dark golden light flashed on his Torso Bone, blocking the surging Mental Power.

The two forces collided in Chen Feng's body, causing his body to tremble violently. His blood flow seemed to have reversed in that moment, leaving him unspeakably uncomfortable.

If the two Soul Cores are to achieve a Yin Yang Complementary relationship, then he must wait for his Second Soul Core to completely form and stabilise.

But before the Second Soul Core can take shape and stabilise, it is not the First Soul Core's opponent, thus, Chen Feng needed to protect it.

Currently, Chen Feng not only had to endure the pain from the impact of his First Soul Core attacking the Second Soul Core, but he also had to maintain and fragile balance between the two. This is a very dangerous thing. If he is not careful, the two Soul Cores may explode.

However, his perseverance and willpower far outstrip that of others, even if he is suffering from great pain, he can still maintain his concentration on the matter at hand.

In his chest, the rudimentary Second Soul Core was spinning faster and faster. Chen Feng slowly widened the opening at his First Soul Core. Enabling larger quantities of Mental Power to gush out from the First Soul Core, intensifying the collision between the two Soul Cores.

Chen Feng's pores had begun to secrete blood long ago, by now, the blood had started forming a layer of bloody mist around him. Slowly, the bloody mist condensed, completely enclosing him.

"Boom!"

Chen Feng suddenly relinquished all his control and suppression of the First Soul Core; he devoted all his attention and energy in protecting the Second Soul Core. The Second Soul Core burst out with a dark golden light; it began to generate a huge suction force on the Torso Bone. Almost all his remaining Spirit Power was extracted, expanding the size of his Soul Core several times in an instant.

His Second Soul Core is a Devouring Soul Core, therefore enabling it to explode such a huge devouring power at this moment.

After his First Soul Core got out of control, it began to frantically attack the Second Soul Core. However, although the Second Soul Core had not fully formed yet, it was no longer afraid of the First Soul cores attacks.

It is just that the two Soul Cores attacked each other with all their strength, causing Chen Feng's body to be on the verge of collapse, tiny cracks had faintly appeared on his body.

Chen Feng continued to persevere as he knows that success is not far away.

As time slowly passed, the First Soul Core slowly compromised, its attacks weakened, showing that it had acknowledged the Second Soul Core.

The Mental Power in the First Soul Core returned and turned Golden Yellow, while the Second Soul Cores Devouring Power was Dark Gold.

(T/N: Mental Power can also be translated as Spiritual Power)

The two large Soul Cores were rotating in opposite directions to each other, and the power they released merged at the centre. The central point also became the origin of all of Chen Feng's power.

Small vortices were created after the two Soul Cores' powers collided, they poured into his meridians, repairing his body at an extremely fast speed.

"Finally succeeded!"

Chen Feng did know how long had passed, he opened his eyes again, currently, his clothes had torn, and he had bloody scabs all over his body. As he shed these scabs, a crystal-like jade lustre was revealed beneath them.
