This wasn't an enhancement targeted at a specific incarnation.

The power of the soul absorbed by this incarnation could actually be transmitted directly back to the main body.
When the main body is enhanced, all incarnations are enhanced.
An incarnation cannot transmit inner force or true essence to the main body, but it can transmit the power of the soul back.
This is the special characteristic of the power of the soul.
What exactly is the power of the soul?
His understanding of the soul has been deepening and constantly changing.
After absorbing the memories of this Great Heavenly Demon, he realized that his understanding of the soul was too superficial.
Spiritual power and the power of the soul are like cultivation base and true essence.
Spiritual power originates from the soul, but it is not the power of the soul itself, but rather the effect of the power of the soul.
The soul extracts the essence and blood of the body to condense into spiritual power.
The stronger the soul, the stronger and purer the condensed spiritual power.
The Heavenly Demon race cultivates the soul, and in fact, they are cultivating spiritual power.
The source of the soul cultivation system is the Demon Spirit Realm, and outsiders cannot cultivate it. The human race has very little knowledge of this system, and their understanding of the power of the soul is also very superficial.
No matter how much one speculates or studies it, one can never touch its core, only ever grasping a little bit of the surface.
After Chu Zhiyuan absorbed the memories of this Great Heavenly Demon, his understanding of this cultivation system was far more profound than that of others.
His understanding of the soul also became more profound.
The Demon race inherently despises humans and the demon race, considering them to be low-level and superficial.
The human cultivation system uses spiritual power to drive the body's true essence, enhancing the true essence, cultivating the true essence, and then using the true essence to attract the power of heaven and earth.
The Demon race directly uses spiritual power to control the power of heaven and earth.
The Demon race believes that the human cultivation system is inferior and weak.
But this is also the helplessness of humans. Humans do not have the assistance of the Demon Spirit Realm and cannot directly cultivate spiritual power, so they can only take this roundabout route.
Therefore, they are particularly intolerant of humans harming them, especially completely killing them.
They must retaliate a hundredfold.
But at the same time, they are also extremely wary of the power that can truly extinguish their souls.
Because they are almost immortal, they cherish their lives and are unwilling to take risks.
Chu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
It was best that they were so cautious, giving him enough time to avoid exposure.
At the same time, he himself must be cautious and prudent. Once he made a move, he must ensure he had a grasp of the situation, and must directly extinguish them, and absolutely not allow the Great Heavenly Demon to transmit the message back through the Soul Pearl.
Otherwise, he would truly become the public enemy of the Demon race, and they would try every means to eliminate him.
This incarnation had reached such a point that it could not be easily abandoned, and he had to strive to go further.

The next day, when he arrived at the True Martial Academy, the Third Prince, Chu Lieyang, was still already there.
Chu Zhiyuan glanced at him, too lazy to even speak. He simply clasped his fist in greeting and sat down in his original position.
It was the seat that was taken by the Second Prince yesterday, and now he had reclaimed it.
He was the furthest away from the Third Prince.
He closed his eyes and began to cultivate, to test the effect of cultivation after the power of the soul had been enhanced.
As soon as he circulated the Boundless Brightness Sutra, he immediately felt the difference.
The circulation speed of the Boundless Brightness Sutra greatly increased, and at the same time, the aura of the Karma Stone Wall quickly penetrated.
This caused the little white snake in his Tan Zhong acupoint to swim three times faster.
Chu Zhiyuan's spirits were greatly lifted.
With this kind of efficiency, he had hope of breaking through to the second revolution in a short period of time.
… …
The First Prince and the Second Prince quickly appeared.
Seeing Chu Zhiyuan motionless, and sensing the vortex of spiritual energy above his head, their expressions immediately became solemn, and they sat down to cultivate without saying a word.
They did not have Super-Sense and could not clearly see the Yin-Yang fish in the void above Chu Zhiyuan's head, but they could vaguely feel it.
They could not feel the specific clear size, but they could feel the general situation, sensing that the Yin-Yang fish was much larger than theirs.
This gave them a strong sense of urgency.
They had been leading by so much, and could not accept being caught up by Chu Zhiyuan.
… …
Qingfeng Cliff.
The midday sun shone warmly on their bodies. Chu Zhiyuan and Chu Honglin were still standing on Qingfeng Cliff talking.
Bathing in the gentle breeze, Chu Honglin said, "The matter of last night, and the Di Martial Academy, have all been taken care of. No one will spread it out."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Fifteenth Uncle."
"There's nothing to thank for."
Chu Honglin said, "I've sealed the mouths on my side, don't let the secret out on your side."
"That's natural."
"Your Prince's mansion is like a sieve. You have to find a way to tighten it up."
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "That can't be done."
"Hmm—?"
"Fifteenth Uncle, you also know that the hearts of the people in my Prince's mansion are scattered. With just Aunt Youlan, there's no way to bring them together."
"Alas, people's hearts… …"
Chu Honglin sighed helplessly.
The situation in the Ninth Prince's mansion was indeed very troublesome.
Throughout the mansion, there were very few who were truly loyal.
The so-called when a tree falls, the monkeys scatter. The Ninth Prince's situation was like a big tree that could fall at any time.
People's hearts tend to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In this situation, how could they still offer their loyalty to him.
Only someone like Youlan, who had followed him since childhood and was greatly indebted to his mother, would be wholeheartedly devoted.
Others had long been indecisive, or even colluding with outsiders.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "I will avoid them… … What about the guards?"
Chu Honglin suddenly paused.
Chu Zhiyuan hummed, "Father Emperor doesn't agree?"
"Imperial Brother wants you to be honest and stay put."
"As expected of Father Emperor!" A sarcastic smile hung on the corner of Chu Zhiyuan's mouth.
"Imperial Brother must have his reasons for doing things."
Chu Honglin said, "Maybe there's another deeper meaning."
Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "It seems that I can't kill Heavenly Demons anymore in the future."
Chu Honglin coughed lightly.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Fifteenth Uncle can't hold back? Father Emperor can hold back."
"Imperial Brother thinks that these possessed Great Heavenly Demons are minor troubles and don't need to be taken too seriously, but in my opinion, that's not the case."
"But in the end, we still have to listen to Father Emperor."
"… … That's right."
Chu Honglin hummed, "But it shouldn't be a big problem for us to secretly take action."
Chu Zhiyuan pondered.
He was thinking about the risks and rewards of doing so.
With Chu Honglin, a God Transformation Realm expert, to help, it wouldn't be a big problem to deal with the possessed Great Heavenly Demons.
The key was to completely exterminate them and not leak the news of the Great Subduing Demon Seal.
Could it be done without leaking the news?
It shouldn't be a big problem either.
First, there was Super-Sense, which could see the surrounding prying eyes, and second, there was the Soul Pearl.
The key was that the benefits were large enough.
Chu Honglin hurriedly said, "Imperial Brother won't send additional guards, but the merits will be recognized."
"Can the merits be kept secret? Don't leak the secret from here."
Chu Honglin frowned and thought, "In order to ensure fairness, the merits cannot be falsely attributed to others, and it's difficult to keep them secret."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Then put it on Fifteenth Uncle's name."
Chu Honglin smiled and said, "These merits have many uses. Do you really want to give them to me?"
"What are the uses of merits?"
"They can be exchanged for elixirs and treasures from the Extraterritorial Battlefield, and you can also be promoted in the Spirit Guard, even if you are in the Imperial City."
"… … Then give them to Fifteenth Uncle."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "I can't join the Spirit Guard anyway."
"You may not necessarily be unable to become a Spirit Guard."
Chu Honglin said.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.
At this point, the Emperor had not changed his mind, so it was impossible.
He was destined to be a consort, so it was impossible to enter the Extraterritorial Battlefield as a Spirit Guard.
