The Martial Soul was the Void Heaven Cauldron!
For Chen Fei, this was undoubtedly the most desirable outcome.
This ancient cauldron had an extraordinary origin. It could refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, refine pills, and temper treasures with absolute efficiency.
Most importantly, its Ten Thousand Spirits Art was incomparably powerful, allowing him to absorb the innate abilities of demon beasts.
This granted him nearly limitless potential—so long as his strength was sufficient, he could continue acquiring increasingly terrifying talents in the future.
Beyond that, the Void Heaven Cauldron also contained martial skill inheritances!
Previously, Chen Fei had obtained Thousand Phantom Slash, which, at its weakest, amplified power fivefold—far surpassing the limits of a standard spirit-rank martial art.
He had long been unable to enhance the power of Thousand Phantom Slash to its recorded maximum of sixteenfold.
But now, after his breakthrough, the technique advanced automatically.
From the previous fivefold amplification, it instantly surged to tenfold.
A tenfold power increase—how terrifying was such a martial art?
Even earth-rank martial arts did not possess such a high amplification. Only legendary heaven-rank martial arts had the potential to reach tenfold power increases.
And this was far from the limit of Thousand Phantom Slash. This meant it was at least a heaven-rank martial art, or perhaps something even beyond.
Before, when Chen Fei heard that Su Ran had already reached strength equivalent to a fifth-grade True Spirit Master, he had felt immense pressure.
But now, all that pressure vanished.
After breaking through, not only did his spiritual power experience a dramatic increase—reaching the level of a third-grade True Spirit Master—but with the awakening of the Void Heaven Cauldron Martial Soul, his control and utilization of spiritual power had greatly improved, allowing him to exert over twice the usual effect from the same amount of energy.
This effectively doubled the thickness of his spiritual power, similar to how Qinling’s genius disciples enhanced their strength by consuming Qi and Blood Spirit Pills.
Others had to rely on medicinal pills to increase their power, but he only needed to activate his Martial Soul—with no side effects whatsoever.
What excited Chen Fei the most was that the Void Heaven Cauldron had now fully fused with his Sea of Consciousness, allowing a seamless conversion between spiritual power and mental power.
In other words, Chen Fei could freely switch between cultivation paths.
He could be a pure Spell Spirit Master or a pure Martial Soul Spirit Master.
With this flexibility, he could enhance both his spell and martial spirit abilities simultaneously.
Just moments ago, he had tested this ability and could instantly transform into a third-hundred-tier Spell Spirit Master. Alternatively, he could shift into a fourth-grade Spirit Master in the Royal Spirit Realm.
Apart from his personal breakthroughs, the Void Heaven Cauldron itself had also changed.
When Chen Fei refined that golden fruit earlier, a faint imprint had appeared on the cauldron.
Now, after refining this nameless flower bud, another faint imprint had emerged.
Before breaking through, he had no understanding of these imprints—only that they were beneficial to the cauldron.
But now, with his breakthrough, he vaguely grasped their true nature.
Why did people require breakthrough treasures to awaken their Martial Souls?
Why did their Martial Souls enhance their martial techniques upon awakening?
At the core of it all was a special kind of energy contained within these breakthrough treasures—this special energy could be called a Dao Seed, or simply the source of spiritual power.
Martial Souls represented Dao Seeds, and different Martial Souls had different attributes.
The imprints on the Void Heaven Cauldron were the manifestation of these different types of Dao Seeds.
Most people only awakened a single-attribute Martial Soul.
But the Void Heaven Cauldron Chen Fei awakened could possess multiple attributes.
The origins of the Ten Thousand Spirits Art stemmed from this very phenomenon.
However, if he wanted to fully integrate these attributes into himself, further refinement was necessary.
The method for this refinement lay in using the Ten Thousand Spirits Art to absorb the talents of demon beasts and merge them with the Dao Seed imprints on the Void Heaven Cauldron.
Of all the demon beast abilities he had acquired, only the talents of the Spirit Cat and Silver Flood Dragon were currently compatible for integration.
Without hesitation, he attempted to merge the Flood Dragon Talent with one of the Dao Seed imprints on the cauldron.
In an instant, the once-faint imprint became vividly real—a lifelike silver flood dragon was now engraved upon the Void Heaven Cauldron.
With just a thought, the silver flood dragon seemed to come alive. The Flood Dragon Talent resonated with the cauldron and flowed through his entire body.
The next moment, Chen Fei directed this power into his palm. Under Su Ran’s astonished gaze, scales and claws suddenly grew from his hand, transforming it into a dragon’s claw identical to that of a silver flood dragon.
“What… is happening?” Su Ran stared in disbelief, utterly shocked.
“This is the innate talent I awakened—Flood Dragon Transformation!” Chen Fei laughed heartily. “Unfortunately, this silver flood dragon only had a hundred years of cultivation—its talent is too weak.”
“What do you mean?” Su Ran asked, confused. “You have the abilities of a hundred-year-old silver flood dragon?”
“More or less!” Chen Fei nodded. As long as he continued to absorb flood dragon blood, he could further refine this ability and gradually approach the true power of a genuine dragon.
“What an unusual talent!” Su Ran found it both amusing and astonishing.
However, Su Ran had no idea—Flood Dragon Transformation was merely one of the many abilities Chen Fei could acquire.
As long as he could hunt powerful enough demon beasts—or purchase their refined blood and inner cores—he could continuously replicate their talents.
A Spell Spirit Master or Martial Soul Spirit Master who had gathered the abilities of countless powerful demon beasts…
How terrifying would that be?
The next moment, Chen Fei merged the Spirit Cat’s Perception Talent with another Dao Seed imprint.
The Void Heaven Cauldron trembled, and his perception ability underwent a qualitative leap.
The Spirit Cat’s detection range, which was previously five hundred meters, instantly expanded to two thousand meters.
Within a thousand meters, he could perceive even the smallest specks of dust with perfect clarity.
Within two thousand meters, he could detect objects as small as a silver needle.
His perception ability had increased dramatically.
And this was merely within the confines of the secret realm—outside, his perception range would likely exceed four thousand meters.
Four thousand meters might not seem vast for normal vision, but his perception had an advantage normal sight lacked—it ignored obstacles.
As long as something was within range, he could perceive it with absolute clarity.
At this moment, Chen Fei, having stepped into the realm of True Spirit Masters, finally possessed truly unfathomable abilities.
Even spell masters of the same level could not compare to him.
However, the immense power brought by the Void Heaven Cauldron also presented a challenge—his future breakthroughs would be far more difficult.
At the early stage of the Royal Spirit Realm, his spiritual power had already reached the level of a third-grade True Spirit Master.
That meant that when he attempted to break through to the Grand Spirit Master Realm, it would be far more challenging than for a normal Martial Soul Spirit Master.
