Tang Tian’s body was already at an extreme, and was not inferior to any of the legends of history. His invincible body was the foundation of the Awakened God Armor, and his control over it became more and more outstanding, which further proved the point.

Compared to his perfect body, his refinement of his spirit had not reached the same level.

His current soul training was the glasslike mental state. The Glasslike mental state was extremely unique, it allowed him to penetrate through everything in a cool and calm state. But compared to his monstrous and invincible body, it was still lacking.

In fact, back in Heaven’s Road, Tang Tian had spent a considerable amount of time and effort towards tempering his martial spirit. But because of the Gemini Constellation, he and Little Fool shared one body, thus his spirit and soul was completely different from ordinary people. When Little Fool had split from him, their soul was split into two, and he never fully recovered from the trauma, thus his spirit and soul had never been able to catch up with the growth of his flesh body.

Inside the Sword Cyclone Tempest formed by the Hollowfied Energy, Tang Tian’s glasslike mental state was shattered by the sword auras.

It caused indescribable pain in him, his body was perfectly unharmed, but the pain seemed to come from the deepest part of his mind, and seemed as though it had spread throughout his entire body, he was unable to hide or escape from it. The pain from the trauma of his senses caused Tang Tian to be unable to think, and if one looked carefully, one would notice that Tang Tian’s eyes had lost its focus and light.

At the start, the pain of the cuts made him feel like a fish that was being sliced up into big pieces, then into smaller pieces, and into even smaller pieces. But very quickly, the pain transformed, and he felt as though his vitality was like a rock being filed and grinded.

It was another kind of pain, which grinded at his corners, then filed, and occasionally, his consciousness would pause for a moment. He had a misconception that he was expanding along with the cyclone. He knew that it was a misconception, as his body was completely unharmed, and he knew he was still frantically attacking the Emulated Laws.

He felt as though he was swimming away from his body, and became a spectator, “watching” himself move faster than lightning, and every Emulated Laws was unable to escape. But the pain felt extremely clear, and the intensity increased multiple folds, and he kept thinking that he was turning into ashes.

Instead, the packs of swords that revolved at high speeds, screaming and shrieking around him, was nothing to him.

He did not burn into ashes, regardless of how painful it was, regardless of how many times he was cut or sliced, he did not turn into ashes, even when he felt that his glasslike mental state had already turned into fine sand.

But the sword auras never had the intention to stop, and continued to shatter the sand into even finer pieces.

The pain persisted with no end, Tang Tian felt as though he was falling deeper and deeper inside the cruel sea of Hell, oh, most of the time, it just felt like sinking.

From his alternate point of view, his own body looked as though it could never get tired, not only was his movements getting faster, but he never lost altitude, and like a perfect killing machine, provided that his mouth never released those heart wrenching wails.

He endured the pain while admiring his heroism, the sword tempest cyclones screams were not inferior to his own screams, the two completely different feelings from his alternate view and being in his own body mixed together, it was an unusual contradiction.

Tang Tian, in his alternate view, was still able to observe Ah Xin and the others.

Xiao Ran was in the best state, she was growing the fastest. She had the purest thoughts, as a Spirit General, this talent was brought forward from when she was alive, her talent was outstanding, which helped her growth. Her body was congealing into a solid form endlessly. The Hollowfied Energy congealed a fleshly body that was no different from an ordinary person, but the glossy and sparkling layer of luster, made the body look like crystal, and was extremely breathtaking. The Zanbato in her hand was also transforming, it became even longer and thinner, becoming even more proportionate, the pitch black blade body had an extremely hard tactile, and also had a pure layer of luster.

Ah Xin was in a good state, his body was also congealing, but he was slightly slower than Xiao Ran. ~Eh?~ Tang Tian noticed the Undying Sword in Ah Xin’s hand, whenever the Hollowfied Energy got close to the Undying Sword, they would immediately shatter and transform into a faint mist that was absorbed by the sword itself. The Undying Sword was like a dry sponge frantically absorbing the Hollowfied Energy around.

Tang Tian could sense the transformation within the Undying Sword, and countless of auras being birthed within the Undying Sword.

The amount of Hollowfied Energy that the Undying Sword was absorbing far surpassed the amount that Ah Xin and Xiao Ran were absorbing added together.

Thinking about that point, Tang Tian’s consciousness suddenly trembled, his entire body turned light, as though an invisible chain inside his body was completely shattered, and he felt extremely light. The pain in him disappeared, and a new joy surged up uncontrollably.

In that moment, Tang Tian who managed to calm down realized that his own glasslike mental state had transformed into what seemed like a cloud, a mass of candyfloss. When the Hollowfied Energy Sword auras swept through it, aside from a slight ripple, he did not receive any harm.

Tang Tian was enlightened, his glasslike mental state was shattered so finely that it was even smaller than grit, and the sword auras could not shatter it further.

It was an indescribable sensation, a brand new sensation. He could feel that his body had become much lighter, and he could feel that his soul had gone through an irreversible transformation. He did not know whether it was a good or bad thing, but from the current look of it, it was still good.

Suddenly, he felt extremely thirsty, and subconsciously opened his mouth to take a breath.

Whoosh!

A large amount of Hollowfied Energy transformed into a stream and surged into his mouth. The Hollowfied Energy that he sucked in were like water droplets entering a sand dune, they instantly entered Tang Tian’s body, as though he was eating cotton candy.

An indescribable joy surged from the deepest part of Tang Tian’s soul.

The glasslike mental state that had turned into a mass of cotton candy was like a dried sponge that greedily absorbed in the Hollowfied Energy. Not only was the thirst being resolved, it became even more intense, Tang Tian absorbed as though his life depended on it, the quantity of the Hollowfied Energy he took in looked like mist surging into his body, that was absorbed by the sponge.

Time crawled by slowly, but the glasslike cotton candy did not show any signs of satisfaction.

Tang Tian did not know how long it was, when suddenly, the speed of the cotton candy devouring slowed down, the cotton candy seemed to be filled, and was extremely heavy. Right at that moment, a drop of water dropped out from the cotton candy.

Plop!

It sounded like a water droplet hitting the floor inside a cave.

Tang Tian’s body jolted, the drop of water that left the cotton candy had transformed into a regiment of mist that spread through every corner of Tang Tian’s body.

Tang Tian felt as if his entire dry desert like body was being nourished by rain, and an even stronger and intense sense of joy spread through his entire body. Tang Tian felt that his body had become extremely light, he knew it was a misconception, his body was already close to perfection without any internal injuries.

It was his soul being nourished.

As expected, he saw a faint illusory figure that had appeared within his body.

The drop of water that emerged from the cotton candy turned into mist and dissipated into the illusory figure. He then realized that the figure had multiple dimmed spots, and he knew that those were wounds. The Gemini Constellation had twin souls, and both were connected to each other, if they were separated, they would definitely sustain injuries.

A soul’s injury is extremely hard to treat, much harder than treating a Spirit General. Spirit Generals did not have flesh bodies, thus they had less to fear. But a live person’s soul and flesh body were as one, and are incapable of separating. Whether be it Heaven’s Road or Sacred Saint Galaxy, souls was an unknown territory, and no one could say that they had truly pried through the secrets to a soul.

It was Tang Tian’s first time seeing his own soul.

The sensation of his soul being moisturized was completely different from the joy he felt before. He felt that his body had become even more free, as though his body was a glass covered with dust, but the moisture had smeared a bit of the dust away, and he could sense his state of mind gaining even more clarity. It was like a dark house that had opened its windows, and allowed sun to enter, revealing the things inside the house.

Many things that he had difficulty understanding in the past came to him naturally, like how canals are formed where waters naturally flow, he gained a flash of understanding.

His body and soul were a complete one, and Tang Tian’s heart gained a comprehension.

Unknowingly, his soul had been healed, and with a thought, the cotton candy stopped absorbing the Hollowfied Energy. Tang Tian’s gains were huge, which greatly surprised him. His original intent had been to help Ah Xin, Xiao Ran and the rest, but who would had known that he was the one who had gained the most benefit. Many things that he had difficulty understanding in the past were all completely comprehended by him.

The Hollowfied Energy was in truth a part required to construct a soul, and was a unique form of energy.

After he had treated his soul, he did not continue absorbing the Hollowfied Energy like Xiao Ran and the rest. They were able to benefit from the huge quantity of Hollowfied Energy because they had no restrictions of a flesh body. Tang Tian was unable to do so, his soul and body were one, and if the soul was too strong, it would break the equilibrium between the two.

~Once the soul and flesh body were not in sync, there will be even more problems.~

~Even so, since my soul cannot increase in “Weight”, I can improve its “Quality”, I believe, this is the dao of a human’s path to cultivating and training.~

Ordinary things were useless to souls ,even the Whirlpool Sword Spirit Tempering Technique that he had used in the past, if it were ordinary sword auras, they would had been useless to him. It was because of the Hollowfied Energy that Tang Tian was able to affect his soul.

This was the best place for Tang Tian to temper his soul, and there would never be any place better. ~Where else would have such endless Hollowfied Energy? Even if my soul gets injured while being tempered with, I can restore it immediately~, with that, he had now worries on holding back.

Without hesitation, Tang Tian started to temper his just restored soul, although he had to once again experience the pain, but the rewards that came with it far outweighed the pain.

Furthermore, Tang Tian had decided to refine the cotton candy in him, oh, no, it is the shattered glass like mental state.

The endless Hollowfied Energy allowed him to try out various methods. What other place was a better testing ground?

Suddenly, Tang Tian who was filled with fighting spirit felt that the Sword Cyclone Tempest was Heaven.

~I have to thank the Great Clan Elder......oh no, that doesn’t seem right, this is terrible! Although they aren’t my citizens, but they are also lives.~

~Then, I will do all I can, to take revenge for all of you!~

~By getting rid of the Great Clan Elder!~
