Chapter 853 The Third Soul Core: Triangles Possess Stability

How much boost can a soul ring that is one million years old, still possesses its original power, and even has been enhanced with some divine power, bring to a soul master?

Jiang Ming's answer was that it was enough to raise his cultivation level from level 97 to level 98, or even level 99!

In fact, if one can withstand it, the energy contained in this spirit ring is enough to allow three or four Title Douluos with a cultivation level of 91 to directly reach the Limit Douluo level!

This is truly possible.

The energy contained in a million-year spirit ring is so vast that it seems boundless even to a Title Douluo.

But for Jiang Ming, reaching the level of a Limit Douluo at level ninety-nine might still be a bit of a stretch.

why?
Normally, to break through to the Limit Douluo level, one needs to condense another soul core!

A Soul Core is something that a Soul Master needs to condense when breaking through to the Title Douluo level.

When one's cultivation level breaks through to the Limit Douluo level, it is also necessary to condense one.

But Jiang Ming's situation is somewhat special.

When he broke through to the Title Douluo level, he condensed two soul cores!
These are the Spirit Soul Core and the Vital Energy Soul Core.

These two soul cores are located in Jiang Ming's upper dantian and middle dantian, respectively.

But Jiang Ming also has a lower dantian!

In fact, the lower dantian is the first place to condense a soul core when a soul master breaks through to the Title Douluo level.

Because a Soul Master's Soul Power is stored here, it is the easiest place to condense a Soul Core. The next easiest place is the Middle Dantian, and the most difficult place is the Upper Dantian.

The reason is simple: a Soul Master's Soul Power gathers in the lower dantian, which is the place a Soul Master is most familiar with.

The most familiar place, and the easiest place to compress soul power to form a soul core, naturally became the first choice for condensing a soul core.

The middle dantian requires mobilizing soul power to move upwards and transfer to the center of the chest, which is somewhat redundant. Moreover, continuously transferring soul power from the lower dantian to the middle dantian is very difficult.

The upper dantian is even more troublesome.

The middle dantian is a bit more troublesome, but it is relatively controllable and not particularly dangerous.

But the upper dantian is the closest place to the sea of ​​spirit! Once the soul core condensation fails, the probability of the sea of ​​spirit being affected is almost one hundred percent!

In severe cases, it can even cause great trauma to the soul!
Therefore, when Soul Masters break through to the Title Douluo level, few choose the Dantian or Upper Dantian; they usually choose the Lower Dantian, which is the most suitable and easiest.

However, due to his own unique circumstances, Jiang Ming had previously chosen these two more challenging locations, which resulted in the formation of his spiritual core and blood essence core.

This can also be described as having already traversed the most difficult path beforehand.

Even so, even though the lower dantian is the most suitable place to condense the soul core, Jiang Ming still faced enormous difficulties.

Because he needs to maintain a stable relationship between the third soul core and the previous two soul cores when condensing the third soul core!

The soul core within the body is constantly absorbing and compressing the soul power within the body. Previously, Jiang Ming had already balanced the spiritual soul core and the blood and qi soul core.

With the addition of a Soul Core, the difficulty will obviously skyrocket!
Moreover, when the two soul cores were being condensed, Elder Mu and Snow Empress were able to provide guidance from the sidelines.

The condensation of the second soul core can be achieved through two methods: isotopic resonance and yin-yang complementarity.

However, no one knows how the third soul core was condensed.

Jiang Ming must explore this path himself.

"Elder Mu, is this kid going to try and break through to level 99 in one go? But he already has two soul cores. If he breaks through to level 99, he needs to condense another soul core! How is he going to condense this third soul core?"

As Elder Xuan watched Jiang Ming break through to level 98 and continue to draw upon the power of the Evil Lord to reach even higher realms, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

The other elders couldn't help but look at Elder Mu as well.

They had not yet reached the level of a level 99 Limit Douluo, and their understanding of condensing a second soul core was only superficial. Jiang Ming's attempt to condense a third soul core was truly beyond their comprehension.

Old Master Mu looked at Jiang Ming, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"I don't know how the third soul core is condensed, but from the perspective of human anatomy, the condensation of the third soul core is achievable."

He said in a deep voice, "The human body has three dantians: the upper dantian, the middle dantian, and the lower dantian."

"Your soul cores are all located in your lower dantian, while when I broke through to the Limit Douluo realm, I also developed a soul core in my middle dantian. This shows that all three dantians in the human body can condense soul cores. The limit of the human body should be that soul cores can be condensed in all three dantian locations."

In fact, Mu En had already realized this when his cultivation level broke through to level 99.

But by then his cultivation level had reached level ninety-nine, making it impossible for him to condense a third soul core.

Upon hearing Elder Mu's words, Elder Xuan's face flashed with shame.

Jiang Ming was already about to condense his third soul core, while he was still stuck at level ninety-eight and hadn't even condensed his second soul core yet.

"If he can successfully condense a third soul core, then Xiaoming should have no problem absorbing this million-year soul ring. If he can't absorb it, there's still a lot of energy contained within this million-year soul ring, and Xiaoming might be in danger."

Elder Mu observed Jiang Ming's condition and the aura of the black-gold million-year soul ring.

Why don't Soul Masters absorb Soul Rings with high age limits?

Because those were beyond their limits!

If a level 20 Soul Master were to absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring, the danger they would face would be far greater than that of absorbing a hundred-year Soul Ring.

One wrong move and you could easily explode and die!

If this level 20 Soul Master were to absorb a ten-year Soul Ring, there's a high probability that he wouldn't even be able to break through to level 21 after absorbing the Soul Ring.

Therefore, when a Soul Master absorbs a Soul Ring, suitability is the most important factor.

Is Jiang Ming's current situation suitable?
Actually, it's not suitable.

A true million-year spirit ring represents the most powerful spirit ring that this world can produce!
Such a spirit ring naturally requires the most powerful spirit master in this world to absorb it in order to match it.

In other words, it is best for those at the peak of the Limit Douluo level, those closest to the gods, to absorb this spirit ring.

Even more so, a Soul Master can use this million-year Soul Ring to directly create their own god!
A million-year soul ring is already close to the standard of a god. But is Jiang Ming among those closest to godhood?
No.

Don't be fooled by Jiang Ming's terrifying strength now, which makes him invincible on the entire Douluo Continent. In reality, he has not truly reached the limit in all aspects!

My mental strength has reached its limit.

The physical body has reached its limit.

However, his soul power cultivation has only just broken through to level ninety-eight!
This situation is actually a mismatch.

But now, because of Jiang Ming's powerful and profound foundation, he is able to absorb this soul ring.

Similarly, some Soul Masters with profound foundations and extraordinary talents can absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring at level 20, a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring at level 40, and a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring at level 70.

Of course, being able to absorb spirit rings is one aspect, but the most crucial issue right now is the spirit core!
The third soul core has never appeared in the records of Shrek Academy or in the knowledge of any of the elders!
So the question is, how do we condense this third soul core?

Moreover, Jiang Ming is currently in a deep meditative state, so even if they know or have ideas, they cannot convey them to him now.

Now, it all depends on Jiang Ming himself!

In fact, Jiang Ming is also currently troubled by this problem.

When his cultivation level broke through level 98 and he was still continuously supplying massive amounts of energy to the two soul cores, he knew that two soul rings alone would probably not be enough to absorb all the energy of this soul ring.

To fully absorb this soul ring, another soul core must be condensed to share the pressure of the other two soul cores.

But how do we condense this third soul core?
There was no choice about the location; it had to be the lower dantian.

However, we need to carefully consider how to achieve this.

First of all, his original two soul cores were formed by the complementary use of yin and yang.

To condense the third soul core, the first step is to break the yin-yang complementary relationship between the two soul cores.

It's not difficult.

The challenge is, after breaking this balance, how do we establish a model where the three soul cores operate together?
You must understand that once the original balance is broken, it will inevitably cause the soul power in the body to run wildly!
With his current physique, he can hold out for a while, but the absorption of the spirit ring has already begun, and the energy connection has been established, so there's no way it will stop.

Once the balance is broken, the soul power inside the body will run rampant, and the primal power of the million-year soul ring outside the body will surge in frantically. No matter how strong the body is, it will inevitably explode!

However, Jiang Ming wasn't too worried about the body exploding.

why?
Is the energy released by this million-year-old soul ring as strong as the divine power it once possessed?

If you really can't handle it, just pour that energy into your small world.

He couldn't withstand this alone, but with the nine elves and the small world, they could easily devour all that energy.

The reason he isn't doing that now is because he wants to break through to level 99, the Limit Douluo, by absorbing the spirit ring this time!
For Jiang Ming, a million-year soul ring was basically the greatest opportunity he could obtain on the Douluo Continent.

If we don't seize this opportunity to make a final push, the difficulty of reaching level 99, the Limit Douluo, in the future will be almost hopeless!

It will definitely take at least a few more years.

Therefore, he had to take this opportunity to give it a try!
Even if we fail, at worst we can use the remaining energy from this million-year soul ring to replenish the small world, which will accelerate the recovery of the small world and won't be wasted.

"Triangles are stable, so there must be some way to achieve this. Let's try it!"

Jiang Ming frowned, and his soul power surged forth, sending out a platinum-gold soul core and a crimson-gold soul core from his upper and middle dantian respectively.

After emerging from the upper and middle dantian, the platinum-gold soul core and the crimson-gold soul core faced each other from afar and began to rotate relative to each other.

Centered on the two soul cores, platinum and crimson light extended outwards, quickly forming the shape of a Tai Chi diagram.

However, the colors of this Tai Chi diagram are not black and white, but white gold and reddish gold.

Among them, platinum belongs to spirit, and spiritual power belongs to yin; red gold belongs to qi and blood, and qi and blood belong to yang. In the form of yin and yang complementing each other, the two soul cores rotate in opposite directions, releasing an extremely powerful aura!
Previously, these two soul cores, along with the second soul core formed in the form of yin and yang complementation, made Jiang Ming's strength far greater than that of a titled Douluo of the same level.

But now, the advantage that made Jiang Ming stronger than other Title Douluos before the Limit Douluo level needs to be destroyed by Jiang Ming himself!
If it is not destroyed, this third soul core will not be able to enter Jiang Ming's soul power circulation system.

This means that he cannot break through to the Limit Douluo level!

Jiang Ming's eyes were closed, but he could still sense the two soul cores that had left his body. The intertwined spiritual power and blood energy even caused the space to tremble slightly, and the light was distorted.

He did not rush to break the yin-yang complementary state of the spiritual soul core and the blood soul core. Instead, he absorbed the energy from the million-year soul ring and gradually filled the accumulation required to go from level 98 to level 99.

Even though breaking through level 99 requires condensing a new soul core, one still needs to cultivate level 98 to its peak and fill the pool.

Once the tank is full, the overflowing water can be transferred to another pool.

The process was quick; in less than half a day, Jiang Ming's aura reached the peak of level ninety-eight!

The two soul cores floating in front of Jiang Ming began to spin faster and faster, and a terrifying pressure swept across the entire space in an instant, even forcing the surrounding guardians, such as Elder Mu, to retreat further.

"It's reached its limit."

Sensing that the soul power that the two soul cores could bear had reached its limit, Jiang Ming instantly opened his tightly closed eyes.

In an instant, a burst of golden light flashed! Within that golden light, scorching flames were dancing.

It's time to make a move!

During the time it took Jiang Ming to raise his cultivation to the peak of level 98, he came up with a way to have three soul cores coexist. The chances of success should be quite high, but since it was the first time he had used it, he didn't know what the flaws were, so he could only try it out first.

Jiang Ming slowly stretched out his hands, his left hand flashing with platinum light and his right hand flashing with crimson light.

The next second, as if he had grasped the two soul cores from a distance, he slowly separated the two soul cores that were in a complementary state.

The two soul cores, which had already formed a complementary balance, could not be separated so easily, let alone the fact that both soul cores had reached their limit!
It's like two incredibly strong magnets stuck together; it would take a tremendous amount of force to separate them.

If another level 98 Super Douluo were to come, there would be no way to shake him.

But for Jiang Ming, it's possible!

He took a deep breath and then shouted:
"Open it for me!"
