As a result, many people disliked these retainers, believing that they would ruin the family's reputation.

After being scolded like that, Xavier was not angry. He simply cupped his hands in greeting to the Third Elder of the Han family.

They then began to investigate the changes that had occurred since they left.

During this period, the Han family and the Lin family have clashed several times, with each side winning and losing.

Judging from the situation, it seems the Lin family will soon be attacking the Han family's territory.

This minor calamity, which occurs once every thirty years, is a calamity for both the Han and Lin families.

If the Lin family cannot destroy the Han family within a certain period of time, then after this period, the virtue of water will continue, and the Han family will surely produce several experts in succession. At that time, the Lin family will surely be destroyed.

Meanwhile, the Han family has also reached a critical moment. Their prodigy, Han Sheng, has now reached the threshold of Hede.

Once you overcome this obstacle, you can become a Soul Transformer in the Harmony Realm.

The so-called "harmony of virtues" means cultivating other virtues besides the virtue of water.

Beyond the virtues of the Five Elements, there are countless other virtues.

However, the virtue of water generally belongs to wisdom. Wisdom is a virtue that can be represented by single-character virtues such as brightness, wisdom, intelligence, and attainment, or by two-character virtues such as civility and filial piety.

As for virtues such as literature, law, divinity, and philosophy, those are virtues that only emperors or sages can cultivate.

The official news from the Han family is that Han Sheng has already developed the virtue of 'wise'.

By combining the virtues of Black Water Virtue and Wise Virtue, one can form the appearance of a deep pool.

Its strength is comparable to that of top-tier steel products.

Chapter 837 Water Virtue

“These differences from the real world are like strange landscapes, which will inevitably attract the attention of others, thus generating knowledge and faith.” Deep within Xavier’s heart, the God of Discipline already knew Nemus’s purpose.

The Low-Dimensional Hunting Ground is undoubtedly an excellent idea.

If its main body were not on the other side of the abyss, it would probably have achieved a great deal in history.

"Is it that abandoned path?" The God of Discipline pondered for a moment, speculating on a certain possibility.

He actually had a vague idea about the path of the ancient gods.

In reality, each of the three faiths has its own distinct path.

Pure worship and faith, once transformed into powerful divine force, can develop into the king of all gods or even the sole god; this is the path the current sun god takes.

But this would require the faith of almost the entire world.

By asserting the exclusivity of faith, all other gods were deposed, reduced to spirits or demons.

Fear and faith, on the other hand, can be transformed into catastrophe. Whether it is an abyss or a calamity on earth, it allows some gods to see the way forward.

The God of Storms has probably been planning to become a disaster all this time.

However, this path is exceptionally difficult and may even bring misfortune from fate, so the progress of the Storm God seems to have stalled.

However, the God of Discipline quickly withdrew his attention from these matters and focused it on the hunting grounds of the Thousand-Change Soul.

In his view, Thousand-Change Soul was one of the top two in all the hunting grounds.

Among the currently popular hunting grounds, some can produce deities, while others allow one to experience another kind of divine power.

But none of that matters.

Nemus himself couldn't even conjure a real godhead using the method of fabrication, let alone create one for someone else.

New gods are not so easy to be born.

For countless years, there have only been ninety-odd divine titles, and the number of gods has been even fewer, only eighty-odd.

The God of Discipline even speculated that among the more than eighty gods, four or five might be disguised versions of gods.

Things related to deities are of great use to those people, but they are more show than substance.

Only Nemus was able to rise from an ordinary being to become a god.

Experiencing those things is too abstract.

Conversely, the Thousand-Change Soul's side, although essentially a fabricated history of memories by Nemus.

However, its core contains extremely profound research on the soul.

Nems was born locally, a fact known to the God of Discipline. Therefore, the external entity that Nems possessed was clearly a soul.

This reminded him of the signs of his defeat—the failure of the Battle of the Abyss.

The reason he failed back then was because Nemus, who had been refined into a prayer angel, inexplicably retained self-awareness and, together with the Abyss, thwarted his divine war plan.

When Nemus appeared as a demon, he was also a different kind of soul.

This suggests that Nemus's soul is most likely related to something from the outer universe.

Even if it isn't, that thing probably still has a great influence on the soul.

Therefore, the God of Discipline paid special attention to hunting grounds related to souls, and eventually found the Thousand-Change Soul hunting ground.

"This hunting ground is not simple; there may be some of Nemes' experiments being conducted there."

"If I could get involved and understand the key aspects."

"Then perhaps we can trick him when Nemes uses this secret technique later."

The God of Discipline really wanted to mess with Nemus.

He kept thinking about it, even dreaming about it.

As a god-level magic expert, the God of Discipline calmed his mind and began meditating.

His soul could sense that within the Han family, there was an area filled with the fragrance of incense and invisible spiritual fluctuations spreading outwards.

Within this area, even without cultivation, the Han family members will have clear souls and gradually improve.

This is a spiritual realm that only large families possess.

Ordinary families that only possess the ancestral soul of the Condensed Soul and the Ancestral Soul of the Divine Communication cannot have the virtue of the ancestral soul covering the surrounding area. Only during the annual sacrifice can the incense be used to awaken the spirit of the family members and enable them to undergo a soul transformation.

However, large families, apart from annual sacrifices, may awaken on their own if they live in the spirit realm for a long time.

The residences of the retainers were located on the outskirts of the Spirit Realm.

only……

"If the bloodline isn't right, there's always a distance between our senses."

"It will probably take ten or even twenty years to complete the awakening process."

"Of course, there is a shortcut. If one is truly devoted to the Han family and their hearts are aligned, it may be possible to shorten the time to eight or nine years."

"This system is actually quite something." Xavier continued meditating, while his own soul began to change with the help of the catalyst, entering an awakened state and beginning a soul transformation.

This is another method.

Xavier himself is a master of the Fictional Meditation Technique, and his own stats have been raised to eight.

Although it is regarded as a heretical and unorthodox practice, in terms of power, it is no less than a Soul Transformation cultivator at the Soul Condensation stage.

With power comes the way to play.

By using meditation to draw upon the spiritual power of the other person, one can directly and successfully awaken their spirit.

They had already accomplished something similar the last time they came in.

However, when the time limit was reached, the only option was to withdraw, and all the achievements made at that time disappeared because there was no opportunity to advance to another dimension.

Fortunately, after they all left, no other players entered, so the time in the hunting grounds did not speed up.

This time, entering was a breeze, and the soul transformation was completed quickly.

At this moment, the virtue of Blackwater appeared in the soul.

Virtue is regarded as the right path by people in this hunting world, which naturally has its advantages.

Blackwater is yin and still water.

Still waters can bring wisdom, reflect the heart, and reveal the truth.

At this moment, Xavier felt as if a lake had appeared in his soul, its surface as calm as a mirror, reflecting all the changes within his own soul.

And this is Blackwater.

The virtues of the Five Elements are all divided into Yin and Yang.

Among them, flowing water, such as streams and rivers, is considered Yang.

Still waters such as pools and lakes are considered Yin.

Both types of water virtues have an aspect of wisdom.

Living water is adept at change, quick-witted, and capable of responding to changes, clarifying confusion, and being adaptable.

Still water excels at reflection, possesses profound wisdom, and has the effect of discerning the truth and profound thoughts.

Of course, these two types of water do not encompass all types of water.

For example, green water, although it tends to be still water, contains life within it and can nourish things silently and educate invisibly.

"No matter how many times you observe this behavior, you will still feel shocked."

"It is similar to divinity, which can be seen as its superficial appearance, but it also contains profound depths and has a certain effect on changing the soul."

"This is absolutely not a function of divinity."

"Indeed, Nemus may be conducting some kind of crucial experiment in this hunting ground."

The God of Discipline guessed correctly; Nemus's current goal was to achieve the liberation of the true spirit and the technology of its reverse transcription.

After the true spirit is liberated, its internal elements merge into the soul, thus forming its characteristics.

Nemus, drawing inspiration from divinity and combining it with the forms of existence within the true spirit, created the experimental subject of virtue.

Chapter 838 Soul Condensation, Divine Connection

After Xavier condensed the water element, he did not stop his meditation.

As he refined it, the virtue of water permeated his soul, making it even more refined.

This is the second stage of Soul Transformation cultivation—Soul Condensation.

At this point, even if someone of this rank dies, their soul will remain.

As long as descendants offer sacrifices and incense within seven days, it can exist for a long time and protect future generations.

After the soul is condensed, one can communicate with the divine.

When one's virtue reaches its peak, one's soul develops supernatural powers, generating all sorts of incredible and wondrous abilities.

At this stage, the ancestral soul can lend its wondrous power to its descendants, enabling them to create extraordinary beings.

If one cultivates oneself to this level, one can become a teacher, establish clan schools or academies, and even educate children from other places.

One of the perks of these retainers was the ability to audit classes at the Han family academy. If they gained any insights, they might even absorb a trace of virtue into their souls.

Xavier's own meditation skills could only support the condensation of the soul.

The God of Discipline, hiding inside his body, couldn't interfere, otherwise, if anything unusual happened, it would most likely arouse Nemus's suspicion.

Nemes is not the same person he used to be.

He was seriously injured and on the verge of death, you could even say he was dead, but his divine essence remained, so he appeared to be in a deep sleep.

They are too passive in their instinctive responses to external stimuli.

As long as Nemes remains hidden and doesn't cause any trouble, nothing will happen.

But now he is different. His infiltration will attract Nemus's attention as soon as there is the slightest abnormality.

Even if there is no other evidence to prove that he is really problematic, given the caution of the gods, they are very likely to simply discard it and never use it again.

Some might even be ruthless and simply eliminate them altogether.

If the discipline itself is implemented, then everyone who has entered and exited the Thousand-Change Soul Hunting Ground is merely part of the experiment.

After the experiment was completed, all the experimental items naturally had to be cleaned up.
