Still at the bottom of the pool. Originally, with Yuan Ye's mid-stage Nether God power, it was easy for him to enter the bottom of the pool and not breathe, eat or drink. But once the mid-stage Nether God power disappeared, let alone not eating, drinking or breathing, Yuan Ye even felt a bit overwhelmed by the huge water pressure at the bottom of the pool. With his strength, it was okay not to breathe for three days, but any longer would be a problem. However, Yuan Ye, who was severely mentally stimulated, was unwilling to leave and persisted. When he was on the verge of death, Yuan Ye had entered a drowsy state. The Heavenly Dao tracks of the third part of Against the Heavens and Snow, the Hun Luo Avenue, continuously poured into Yuan Ye's mind. In the extremely quiet environment at the bottom of the deep water, with the silent mental pressure, all that remained were Yuan Ye's barely perceptible weak heartbeat and the Heavenly Dao tracks that filled his whole body. Yuan Ye didn't know that, at some unknown time, through the understanding of the Heavenly Dao of the Hun Luo Avenue, he had temporarily entered the most mysterious Innate Fetal Respiration state since ancient times, but it was different from the commonly known Innate Fetal Respiration state. Under a certain level of cultivation and with certain opportunities, an ordinary person would cut off all external sources of vitality and rely solely on internal self-sufficiency. However, in a certain part of his body, mostly at the Niwan acupoint on the top of the head, there would still be a faint connection and exchange of energy with the outside world. But at this moment, Yuan Ye had truly cut off all communication channels with the outside world. The harsh environment and the heavy mental burden made his body instinctively stop breathing during meditation, rejecting everything from the outside world from entering his body and instead using the spiritual power that filled his whole body to provide the energy he needed at the moment. Even those with profound cultivation that reached heaven and earth might not be able to detect what state he was in. And as the person involved, Yuan Ye himself didn't know his current state either, because he didn't feel anything wrong with his body. His mind was surprisingly clear at this moment. There was no strange feeling as described in the legend that when entering the Innate Fetal Respiration state, the mind would seem to be combined with heaven and earth and have a dreamlike trance. He was just using the inner vision method to observe the situation inside his body. There was a stream of purple-golden fighting qi flowing inside Yuan Ye. This purple-golden fighting qi was the result of the fusion of his golden fighting qi of Against the Heavens and Snow and the Heavenly Dao tracks in the Hun Luo Avenue. At the same time, the five spirit fruits that Yuan Ye had snatched in the Immortal Valley were surrounding his snow-like fighting qi. One of them was slowly melting and entering Yuan Ye's fighting qi. Then Yuan Ye felt that his fighting qi hadn't changed much, but his spirit and soul had been elevated to a higher level. Those below Martial Lords strive to cultivate their fighting qi, while those above Martial Lords devote all their body and mind to the cultivation of the soul. As for great supernatural beings, even if their bodies are shattered, as long as their souls are not destroyed, they will live forever. Great supernatural beings compete in the strength of their souls. Everyone tries their best to strengthen their souls, but the cultivation of the soul is hundreds of times more difficult than the cultivation of fighting qi. It is normal for a person with average aptitude to reach Martial Lord after three hundred years of cultivation. But for a person with excellent aptitude, it may not be possible to progress from Soul Fighting to Asura realm after a thousand years of cultivation. And progressing beyond Asura is even more difficult. This is because the soul cannot break through. But now Yuan Ye's soul was strengthening at a lightning speed. When half of the spirit fruit had melted, Yuan Ye only felt that the soul in his body was integrated as a whole, with no distinguishable head or tail. Anyway, he felt very comfortable with a cool sensation all over his body, so he didn't care too much. But suddenly Yuan Ye realized a problem. If he was in the Innate Fetal Respiration state, then why could he still think about other things? And it felt very normal, without any strain. Could this be a precursor to going berserk? Thinking of going berserk, Yuan Ye didn't dare to be careless and focused on the operation of his spiritual power. But before long, Yuan Ye's thoughts drifted away involuntarily again. As the spirit fruit melted, Yuan Ye felt more and more clearly that he seemed to be divided into two. One was concentrating on meditation and continuously strengthening the soul inside his body, and the other was his normal self, with the same thinking and feeling. He could even feel the heavy water pressure outside his body. This was really hard to describe. He knew that it was all him, but his spirit was divided into two and yet united as one. One side was focusing on enhancing the soul power with all its might, and the other side was thinking freely. What was going on? At the same time, Yuan Ye found that with the continuous strengthening of his soul, his mind was extremely clear and his thoughts were unprecedentedly agile. The fighting qi, after being filled with the power of the mid-stage Nether God, was eager to become stronger. The soul was strengthening at a lightning speed like light, and the understanding of the Heavenly Dao was increasing layer by layer with the help of the Hun Luo Avenue. Many things that he didn't understand in the Martial Dao were all understood at this moment. Above the pool, a man in plain white clothes suddenly appeared. This man was tall and handsome. The most special thing was that his eyes were deep and emitted a faint sadness. However, the appearance of this man didn't change anything in this world. Even the sunlight could pass through him and shine on the pool. The little birds flew past as if they didn't see him and even passed through his body. It seemed like an illusion, but his figure was really there above the pool. In the next instant, another handsome man in a blue long shirt appeared behind him. This man was full of righteousness and had an elegant air between his brows. He also didn't affect this world in the slightest. "Master, as you expected, he survived." The man full of righteousness looked at the man in plain white clothes and had a smile on his face. The man in plain white clothes nodded. "Mortal beings cultivate fighting qi, immortals and saints cultivate souls, and Dao Venerables and Great Venerables understand the Heavenly Dao. Since he survived and strengthened his soul and understood the Heavenly Dao at the same time, he has the qualification to become a Great Venerable. But whether he can become the third person depends on his future path. We shouldn't interfere." The man full of righteousness bowed. "Master is right." "Let's go. Let's go to Ta You Realm and have a look. I heard that the person we have our eye on there has become a Dao Venerable. But it took six thousand years of training and ten million years of quiet cultivation to become a Dao Venerable. It's too slow. I don't know when he can become a Great Venerable. And I don't know if he has the qualification to become the third person." Becoming a Dao Venerable after six thousand years of cultivation is like a myth that is out of reach for ordinary people and even for those Nether God and quasi-sovereign level experts. Which Nether God level expert hasn't cultivated for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years? Let alone the higher quasi-sovereign. They can't even imagine the realm of a Dao Venerable. But for these two people, someone becoming a Dao Venerable after six thousand years of cultivation is too slow. This requirement is simply too excessive. But these two people have the right to say so because they only spent a little over a thousand years in training to reach the highest Great Venerable realm in the universe. And the people they pay attention to in thousands of worlds all have cultivation talents that ordinary people can't understand. Any one of them can make the Dao Venerables in the world feel ashamed. They are trying to find a third person among these people who can be on a par with them. Yuan Ye is one of the people they pay attention to, but they are not only paying attention to Yuan Ye. The two mysterious people came and went in a hurry. In the next instant, they had already gone to another world. Everything seemed to have not happened. At the bottom of the pool, Yuan Ye was already in that mysterious state. Unconsciously, Yuan Ye forgot his previous terrible slaughter and focused on plunging into this wonderful world. Time slowly slipped away in Yuan Ye's thinking. In this world without light, Yuan Ye didn't know how long it had been before he finally "woke up". Maybe it's not quite right to say "woke up" because he had been clear-headed all along. But he really had a feeling of waking up. Yuan Ye knew that at some unknown time, his soul had started to increase at an extremely fast speed, and the source was a spirit fruit inside his body and the Sanskrit characters of the Hun Luo Avenue. This soul power was sufficient to rival an ordinary Asura level expert. That is to say, in the future, when Yuan Ye cultivates to the Asura realm, he will no longer have any concerns about soul obstacles and will progress smoothly. At the same time, Yuan Ye's understanding of the Heavenly Dao had reached an unprecedented height. Many knots in his heart that he couldn't figure out had been untied, and many truths were understood instantly. His extreme self-blame and regret caused by the slaughter before had also subsided a lot.
