Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 166 Ah Yin Makes Her Move! Condensing a Soul Core!
"Practice?"

Ah Yin paused slightly, looked down at her eldest grandson nestled in her arms, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

How does one cultivate oneself?

She wouldn't allow it if she tried to force the seedlings to grow too fast...

"Ok!"

Jiang Yi nodded, a hint of awkwardness on his face, and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"I've been trying to condense a soul core recently, but I've encountered some difficulties... I'm afraid I won't be able to succeed on my own."

As he spoke, Jiang Yi got up from Ah Yin's arms, and the Fangtian Halberd appeared in his hand. Then, six spirit rings rose up from his feet one after another.

Ferocious Beast Soul Ring!

Ah Yin's gaze lingered on the two spirit rings for a moment, a thought flashing through her mind, her expression somewhat complicated.

She could clearly sense that the aura contained within this spirit ring clearly originated from a plant-type ferocious beast...

“Grandma, this spirit ring comes from a Qiluo tulip that is over 100,000 years old.”

Jiang Yi seemed to notice Ah Yin's expression and took the initiative to explain.

"Knowing that she would not survive the next tribulation, she voluntarily followed me."

As he spoke, a purple phantom slowly appeared behind him. It was Qiluo Tulip. She bowed slightly to Ayin and then disappeared again.

Ah Yin is quite a complicated person, with a love-struck mind and a saintly heart. Although she has transformed into a human, part of her mind is still with the soul beasts.

Even when she saw the stack of 100,000-year spirit rings on Tang San's body, her expression changed immediately.

After that, Tang San's evil spirit beasts became unstoppable...

However, over the past ten thousand years, the couple went too far and failed to control the development of soul tools, resulting in the near extinction of all the soul beasts on the continent.

"Grandma has misunderstood."

Ah Yin's expression softened, and she felt a pang of self-reproach. How could she not believe her own good grandson?

"It's not Grandma's fault, it's my fault for not explaining it clearly in time."

Jiang Yi quickly waved his hand, a sincere smile on his face.

"Good child, quickly tell Grandma what you need to do. As long as Grandma can do it, she will do her best to help."

Ah Yin said firmly.

She made up her mind that as long as it was within her ability, she would definitely help this sensible and filial grandson.

"Grandma, here's what happened."

Jiang Yi gathered his thoughts and began to speak slowly.
"Although my martial spirit is the Fangtian Halberd, I inherit a special bloodline that allows me to control various elemental forces."

"So when I decided to condense a soul core, I was thinking about how to combine this ability with my martial soul..."

Jiang Yi said, a hint of distress showing on his face.

With the system's cover, he wasn't worried about being exposed. Even if Ah Yin personally took action, it would be impossible for her to detect the Silver Dragon King's bloodline.

Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his hand, his fingertips twitching slightly, and the surrounding elements seemed to be guided, wind, water, fire... all kinds of elements were displayed by him one by one.

To be able to control so much elemental power so easily...

Ah Yin glanced at Jiang Yi in surprise; this bloodline was clearly extraordinary.

It's not surprising, though; a child who can attract the attention of a mistress must be exceptionally talented.

"Strong mental power is essential to control these elements freely."

"So I was thinking, since soul power can be condensed into a soul core, can spiritual power also be compressed into a similar spiritual core..."

Jiang Yi slowly revealed his thoughts.

Mental power is undoubtedly one of the most versatile forces, but what he wants to condense is not a simple mental core.

The essence of a soul core is a core of soul power compressed into a solid state.

Whether it's a spiritual core or a blood and qi core, they are essentially the same: a core of soul power with soul power as the main component and some other attributes mixed in. In essence, they haven't changed.

Ultimately, the resonance of the three soul cores is merely the resonance of a single energy, soul power, rather than a true fusion of three different levels of power: essence, qi, and spirit.

In fact, his adoptive father, Tang San, did not cultivate according to the conventional three-soul core method after being reincarnated as a God King.

On the Fairy Continent, he chose to compress pure spiritual power to form a spiritual core, which, together with the soul power core, created a dual-core resonance.

To be honest, Jiang Yi was just a weak college student who did nothing but eat and wait to die in his previous life. He knew he couldn't create a new system on a whim like those transmigrated predecessors.

However, he must be right to follow his god-king adoptive father!
The problem is that Tang San was able to condense his spiritual core only because of the suppression of his divine consciousness from his previous life.

Otherwise, in all these years of Douluo Continent, surely someone else would have tried it; it's not his place to be making a fool of himself.

But if Ah Yin were to intervene now, he might be able to give it a try.

Even if he fails, with Ah Yin protecting him, his life won't be in danger. At most, he can retreat and choose to condense a spiritual soul core as a substitute. But if he succeeds, he will have both spiritual and soul power cores. In addition, with the continuous transformation after the Silver Dragon King bloodline, he will most likely be able to condense another bloodline core similar to Tang Wuling's, a dragon core.

At that time, the three different levels of core resonance will fully enhance his spirit and energy, and he will have no weaknesses left.

Like the Blood Soul Fusion Technique that Tang Wuling created herself in the original novel, Jiang Yi might even be able to take it a step further and achieve a unity of essence, energy, and spirit.

"no problem!"

Ah Yin nodded without hesitation.

She and Ahao couldn't always step in, so now that they had the opportunity to do something for the children, she naturally felt obligated to do so.

Moreover, if this child becomes stronger, he will be able to take better care of Wu Ling in the future, which can be considered as a token of their love as grandparents.

She was originally a soul beast in human form, so she didn't have many thoughts. She loved this grandson from the bottom of her heart.

"Thank you grandma!"

Jiang Yi smiled sweetly at A Yin, her face flushed with excitement.

He was sincere; compared to Tang San, Ah Yin was much more naive.

"Silly child, why are you being so polite with your grandma?"

Ah Yin smiled gently, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes.

Jiang Yi's smile reminded her of when she was in the God Realm, and that little Qi had been just like that.

After enjoying a moment of warm family time, Ah Yin turned her attention back to business.

"Go ahead and do it, Grandma's here."

Ah Yin extended her jade-like hand, her fingertips lightly touching the ground, and a gentle power slowly flowed into Jiang Yi's body.

Jiang Yi closed his eyes and began to guide his mental energy.

Within the sea of ​​his mind, there lay a small, transparent lake. As his thoughts shifted, the once calm lake began to churn.

Countless white lights rose from the lake and converged at one point under Jiang Yi's guidance.

These points of light did not merge randomly, but were arranged and combined according to certain rules, outlining ridges in the sky above the sea of ​​spirit.

Those edges intersect each other, gradually forming the outline of an illusory rhomboid crystal.

After this step is completed, the remaining light spots begin to flow into the rhomboid crystal in an attempt to fill it and condense it into a shape.

However, when Jiang Yi had poured only one-third of his spiritual power into the crystal, it became saturated.

No matter how hard he tried, he could no longer inject more mental energy into it.

This is not because the rhomboid crystal has already taken shape, but because his mental strength is not strong enough to compress it to a deeper level.

If a complete spiritual core is a solid crystal, then what he has condensed now is merely a form, essentially still liquid spiritual power.

Just when Jiang Yi was at his wit's end, a gentle yet powerful spiritual force surged into his spiritual sea.

Ah Yin made her move.

boom!
Guided by this external force, Jiang Yi's remaining two-thirds of his spiritual power surged once more, forcibly injecting into the seemingly saturated rhomboid crystal.

As spiritual energy was poured in again, the illusory rhomboid crystal gradually solidified. At the center of the crystal, a golden hue quietly emerged and quickly spread throughout the entire crystal.

hum!
The rhomboid crystal trembled gently. When Jiang Yi's last wisp of spiritual power flowed into it, the surface of the crystal turned into a pure pale gold.

In an instant, Jiang Yi felt a slight tremor in his soul, as if he had broken free from some kind of restraint, and suddenly felt a sense of boundless freedom.

The core spirit has been achieved!
The pale golden halo on the crystal surface continued to spread, bursting out of the spiritual core and continuing to extend towards the edge of the spiritual sea.

Nourished by this golden halo, Jiang Yi's spiritual sea was also quietly expanding, becoming increasingly vast and expansive.

This is the benefit of focusing one's spiritual core; it not only makes one's spiritual power more refined, but also constantly expands one's spiritual sea.

"call--"

The joy of successfully consolidating the spiritual core surged in Jiang Yi's heart, but he did not stop there.

With a thought, a phantom vertical eye slowly appeared in his dantian, which was the evil eye he had previously fused with.

Subsequently, under his control, the soul power surging through his meridians flowed like rivers into the sea, rushing towards his dantian and disappearing entirely into the evil eye.

During his three days in the library, he spent most of his time researching the strange phenomena of the Evil Eye. Eventually, he found a similar case in a book of strange tales.

This evil eye is not without attributes, but possesses a rarer chaotic characteristic. To be precise, chaos is not an attribute, but a state.

That was the state before heaven and earth were differentiated, an intermediate state before creation and the formation of the world.

With just a little guidance, any attribute form can be derived.

He intended to use this evil eye as a foundation to condense a chaotic soul core devoid of any attributes.

Instead of getting hung up on which attributes to choose, why not have them all!
