Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

Chapter 161: Communion with the Heavens

The origins of both martial souls suffered damage, but as Xu Yuan consumed the Five Elements Heavenly Spirit Fruit and his own blood energy surged, the martial souls began to stabilize.

With the martial souls stabilized, Xu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His spirit, energy, and essence merged with the surrounding world, and at this moment, he finally had the mind to spare a bit of attention to feel the changes within himself.

It wasn't exactly diverting his attention, but rather a necessary allocation of energy, using the power of the external world to perceive the condition of his own body.

Seeing Xu Yuan's condition stabilize, Yun Ming and the others were relieved.

"Fortunately, Little Yuan is inherently cautious in his actions. Since he chose to split his martial soul, he must have made plans early on."

There were no particularly dangerous moments. Even the vomiting of blood was due to the turbulence of the origin when splitting the martial soul. But only for a moment, Xu Yuan's soul power fluctuations began to stabilize. Although his blood energy was being consumed, it was clearly a good thing, because the phantom of the Heavenly Origin Five Elements Spear above his head became more and more solid.

Before this split, Xu Yuan forged Spirit Refined Jade Silver to enhance the main body of the 'Absolute'. Now, as the carrier of the Heavenly Origin Five Elements Spear martial soul, it fused with Xu Yuan's blood energy, and everything went very smoothly.

Changes in origin are a very mysterious thing.

This is the foundation of a person's martial soul, even involving one's own life origin. Xu Yuan was currently immersed in the changes within his body and the perception of the external world. From these two different perspectives, the operations he had performed not long ago inexplicably surfaced in his mind.

The Heavenly Earth Furnace Method.

Xu Yuan's heart stirred. At this moment, he felt a surge of impulse to try it.

Using the heavens and earth as a furnace, creation as a craftsman, to nurture one's own origin, to nurture the martial soul…

It wouldn't work in normal times, but a furnace is a furnace, forging is forging, it is carried out when it is changing. Isn't Xu Yuan's martial soul in the process of change at this moment?

Moreover, it is a process of change involving the splitting and then mending of the origin.

Perhaps, he could try it.

However, a strange sense of resistance in his heart prevented Xu Yuan from trying it immediately, and instead made him look before leaping and think it over.

"The Heavenly Earth Furnace Method, I perfected it into a dual-layered virtual and real Heavenly Earth Furnace Method when I broke through to Spirit Forging half a month ago. If I really want to try it, I should use both the virtual and real layers at the same time."

Having his own illusory dream space as a reference, if any errors occurred in the nurturing of the external world, they could be compared and verified against each other.

Firstly, it could serve as a reference for the development of the dream space.

Secondly, he could choose the common parts of the two nurturings, being impartial and steady, to avoid being nurtured too deeply by the Douluo Plane, and to avoid being assimilated by his own illusory dream space, becoming a void existence.

Having thought it through, Xu Yuan began to try.

Yun Ming's expression shifted.

He sensed the surrounding space.

"Something's not right."

Xu Yuan was mobilizing the power of heaven and earth?

Did splitting the martial soul require the power of heaven and earth?

Wasn't it said that it only needed to borrow the perception of heaven and earth to understand one's own situation?

Did something unexpected happen?

Many guesses quickly surfaced in Yun Ming's mind.

But soon, he smiled.

After all, he was a figure who had condensed the prototype of a godhood. His perception and insight were astonishing. In just a moment, he sensed that the surrounding heaven and earth were using the two martial souls above Xu Yuan's head as targets for forging?

Nurturing might be more appropriate.

The heavens and earth seemed to have transformed into a furnace, and the raging flames were all forging Xu Yuan's two martial souls in the center.

Yun Ming sensed the essence, but Xu Shengqun and the other two were unaware.

Although they knew from Yun Ming's reaction that it wasn't a bad thing, the scene of the entire heaven and earth changing still made them worry.

Would splitting the martial soul cause changes in the heaven and earth?

Xu Shengqun silently noted it down.

This was indeed possible. After all, the martial soul was, to some extent, bestowed by heaven and earth, and was part of heaven and earth.

It was logical for the splitting of the martial soul to cause changes in heaven and earth.

Xu Shengqun thought to himself, lost in thought.

So, what about the cultivation of the martial soul?

For a Super Douluo, the key to further advancement lies in the fusion with one's own martial soul. In fact, if not for a truly top-tier martial soul, a Soul Master who coincidentally cultivates to level ninety-five would be in a state of perfect fusion with the martial soul. Every further step is a process of jointly exploring with the martial soul, digging into one's own martial soul potential, and digging into oneself.

Xu Shengqun's martial soul was mutated. Although the mutation was very powerful, mutation often means incompleteness.

It may only be the true head that comes out, while the position of most of the body is very low.

Therefore, after he reached Super Douluo, every further step was not to expand the upper limit of the martial soul, but to continuously improve the origin of his own martial soul.

At his level, in fact, even if his martial soul was mutated, it already had the ability to stably pass down, because perhaps only a few directions among thousands of factors mutated in him, but he supplemented all the other factors in the process of his cultivation, thus forming a whole gene with his mutated factors as the core, which would be inherited through blood.

If one could cultivate to level ninety-nine, then one would have truly developed one's own martial soul to the top level. If the descendants could perfectly inherit the characteristics of this martial soul, it would be a top-tier martial soul.

This was Xu Zhi's research result. Xu Shengqun was understanding, studying, and experiencing these many elements theoretically proposed by Xu Zhi in his spare time.

Because he found the essence and the direction, his cultivation has been orderly.

Now, touched by it, he felt it more deeply.

Perhaps, the improvement of the martial soul can also be verified with heaven and earth?

Can the fusion of the Soul Master and heaven and earth guide the martial soul to a further step?

Xu Shengqun didn't see that Xu Yuan was using the power of heaven and earth to nurture his two martial souls, but the artistic conception of the furnace forging method was already very prominent. Even if he couldn't see the essence of Xu Yuan actively driving it, he could vaguely feel that the heaven and earth were nurturing it, which was a good thing.

Of course, these were all feelings.

Without Yun Ming's expression confirming it, Xu Shengqun didn't dare to directly use this feeling as an insight to think deeply, and would be wary of whether this was an illusion.

Under the verification of the virtual and real heaven and earth, Xu Yuan's two martial souls were undergoing silent changes.

This was a change in origin, and Xu Yuan himself could feel a thing or two.

From the bottom of his heart, he felt that his Qi and Blood Soul was becoming more harmonious. The Qi and Blood Soul, fused through acquired means, seemed more natural, without the flaws of acquired sculpting, becoming increasingly complete.

The Heavenly Origin Brush also extracted the long spear within it, free of external impurities, purely and incomparably restoring its original form.

The departure of the Five Elements Spear Spirit caused the Heavenly Origin Brush's first soul ring to dim. The replenishment of the Five Elements power from the Five Elements Heavenly Spirit Fruit only stabilized the first soul ring, allowing it to still exert the soul skill power that a normal year-limit soul ring should have.

If he truly wanted to replenish the origin of this soul ring, he would still need to find a soul spirit that perfectly matched this soul ring, re-endowing it with a soul skill that controlled the Five Elements, and integrating it into this soul ring.

Chapter 162 Three Life Souls!

In the consciousness space, a soft exclamation caught Xu Yuan's attention.

Immersed in the changes of the origin, Xu Yuan hadn't noticed that he had arrived in a mysterious space.

In the vast white space, an old man full of the aura of life was examining him.

"Who are you?"

Xu Yuan's heart stirred, already knowing the other party's identity.

"Me? You can call me Old Tree."

"Old Tree? Is it the consciousness of the Golden Ancient Tree?" Xu Yuan 'asked in surprise', making a 'bold guess'.

"A very clever kid, just a title, and you can think of so much." Old Tree smiled and nodded, not denying it.

It was the consciousness born from the Golden Ancient Tree.

The Golden Ancient Tree was the previous Child of Nature. After being found by the Sea God, it was transplanted to the core of this continent, serving as the foundation of Shrek Academy and establishing the Sea God Pavilion.

Old Tree was the will that gradually emerged from the Golden Ancient Tree over the long years.

"To be able to connect with the world to this extent through your own abilities, child, you are very outstanding," Old Tree said in an admiring tone.

It sighed in its heart: "If the God Realm were still here, with this child's talent, his achievements would definitely be very high. Even if the God Realm is no longer here, with his talent, surpassing his teacher outside has a high chance."

Yun Ming had already condensed the prototype of a Godhood. The world in the entire Sea God Island area had been under his control for the past ten years. It was estimated that even the Plane Master, who was sometimes awake and sometimes asleep, could not intrude into this area.

However, Old Tree was different. Its main body was the Golden Ancient Tree, located in this area, so it could naturally clearly feel Yun Ming's achievements.

A prototype of a Godhood.

Surpassing him meant either a more powerful prototype of a Godhood, or truly and completely condensing a Godhood!

Unfortunately, it knew that the latter's possibility was too small.

It could only be said that Xu Yuan had the opportunity to also condense a prototype of a Godhood, reaching Yun Ming's level, or even getting closer to a true Godhood, and even simultaneously breaking through to the God-level in soul power and spiritual power, taking the path of a pure cultivator in the universe, breaking through to the God-level.

In this way, perhaps Douluo Continent could still be saved.

A look of worry flashed in Old Tree's eyes.

It did not hate them, but from the bottom of its heart, it did not want the plane to fall into the hands of one family.

"Old Tree, I wonder if there is anything wrong with my cultivation?" Xu Yuan asked in a tone of seeking advice.

Rather than believing that this Old Tree was transformed from Ah Yin, Xu Yuan was more willing to believe that it had no relationship with Ah Yin. If there was, at most it was the relationship between the original owner and the parasite.

If Ah Yin completely seized the Golden Ancient Tree, even the consciousness of this Old Tree was transformed by her, then what practical significance would it have for Shrek to be destroyed, the Golden Ancient Tree to wither, and a new Tree of Life to bloom, re-becoming the core of the plane?

Yun Ming, as a quasi-god, even if condensing the prototype of a Godhood was somewhat extraordinary, could he compare to the Plane Master? The core of the plane?

Even in sleep, this kind of crisis of destruction would definitely be sensed.

Xu Yuan was more inclined to believe that Shrek's destruction was a trend.

"There is no major problem. Your two souls are still lacking. I will bestow some good fortune upon you." It smiled and waved its hand, and a rich green light merged into Xu Yuan's body.

Xu Yuan's consciousness suddenly awakened, returning to the meditation space.

A vast life force surged from the outside world.

Ignoring the changes in the outside world, Xu Yuan quickly refined this life force, guiding it to merge into his two recovering souls.

A small portion of it merged into Xu Yuan's Heavenly Origin Brush soul, and the vast majority of the remainder merged into Xu Yuan's Heavenly Origin Five Elements Spear. To be precise, nearly half of this majority merged into Xu Yuan's Qi and Blood.

Life force, the origin of life.

The improvement of the origin of life had an obvious effect on the improvement of Qi and Blood.

Outside.

Yun Ming's face changed drastically.

The elders in the Sea God Pavilion also gathered in this room, looking at Xu Yuan who was sitting cross-legged.

"What did Xiao Yuan do?"

The entire Golden Ancient Tree was transferring power to him!

This was the life force of the Golden Ancient Tree that had accumulated for tens of thousands of years, visibly decreasing.

Although shocked, Yun Ming, knowing the details, did not blame him, but was pleasantly surprised. The other elders also revealed joy after the shock.

They had long prepared to cultivate Xu Yuan as the leader of the new generation of Shrek Seven Monsters, and treat him as a figure like Yun Ming back then.

Now, even the Golden Ancient Tree seemed to have chosen him.

How could this not surprise them?

This was something that had never happened in the past ten thousand years.

As expected, Xiao Yuan's talent had already alarmed Old Tree?

Xu Yuan was distressed.

He felt the changes in his two souls.

Among them, the Heavenly Origin Brush had a source of life, and the soul skills it possessed seemed to be stronger. Even the Heavenly Origin Brush seemed to have life attributes.

The changes were concentrated on evolution.

However, the life force injected into the Heavenly Origin Five Elements Spear was different.

Faintly, Xu Yuan felt that a soul ring was about to condense.

Damn it, I don't want to become that Child of Nature or something, do I?

Showing your face will get you killed!
