Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings

After all, Gu Ziyi always felt that his martial soul shouldn't be so ordinary, and his soul skills proved that his martial soul was extraordinary.

For some reason, his innate soul power was only level 1 after he awakened.

With these questions in mind, Gu Ziyi also chose a set of advanced meditation techniques that suited him best from the several sets of techniques given to him by Qian Xunji.

Whether it's improving cultivation speed or enhancing the quality of spirit rings, this is the most effective method.

To Gu Ziyi's surprise, Qian Xunji was also the one teaching the subsequent lessons on martial spirit knowledge.

This shows how much he dotes on Bibi Dong!

He even personally taught them about martial spirit knowledge.

"Teacher, why do we Soul Masters have to absorb the Soul Rings of Soul Beasts to cultivate?"

"What if we kill all the soul beasts one day? Wouldn't people be unable to cultivate in the future?"

"Can't we Soul Masters condense our own Soul Rings?"

So, in the martial spirit knowledge class, after Qian Xunji finished teaching what he had learned that day, Gu Ziyi took the opportunity to ask Qian Xunji a few questions.

Gu Ziyi hadn't had time to visit the Spirit Hall's library yet, so he decided to ask Qian Xunji first, since he was sure Qian Xunji knew more.

If I were to actually go to the Spirit Hall's library to search for records on this subject, it would definitely be time-consuming and laborious, and I might not even find them.

"what?"

Bibi Dong, who was standing to the side, widened her eyes immediately after hearing Gu Ziyi's questions.

She found Gu Ziyi's questions quite interesting; they were things she had never thought of before.

"Yes, teacher!"

"why is that?"

Intrigued, Bibi Dong looked up and pressed Qian Xunji for answers.

……

Chapter 37 So that’s it

"Xiao Yi, your question is excellent!"

"Many Soul Masters only know how to blindly follow the path of their predecessors in their cultivation, but they never think about why!"

"There are very few people in the Soul Master world who know the answers to the questions you've asked, but I happen to know a little about them!"

Qian Xunji then praised Gu Ziyi and said with a smile.

Upon hearing that Qian Xunji actually knew, Gu Ziyi immediately perked up.

"Teacher, then tell me quickly!"

Bibi Dong immediately started urging them on.

Gu Ziyi suddenly realized that having Bibi Dong by his side was quite nice; she was practically the best mouth double!

"The reason why we Soul Masters need to absorb the Soul Rings of Soul Beasts is not just to increase Soul Power and Soul Skills, but mainly to evolve our Martial Soul!"

"As for Soul Masters condensing their own Soul Rings, it's been too long and the records aren't very clear. All we know is that a few hundred thousand years ago, a few Soul Masters figured out how to condense their own Soul Rings through trial and error. However, most of the Soul Rings condensed by Soul Masters themselves didn't have Soul Skills, and the quality of the Soul Rings was too low, far inferior to those hunted from Soul Beasts!"

"More importantly, condensing your own spirit rings doesn't bring about the evolution of your martial spirit!"

"So gradually, no more Soul Masters condensed their own Soul Rings!"

"As for the method of condensing one's own spirit rings, it has long been lost!"

"This proved to be the right choice, because tens of thousands of years ago, the quality of a Soul Master's Martial Soul was not as strong as it is now!"

"The various powerful martial spirits we have today are all gradually passed down from generation to generation of soul masters through absorbing soul beast soul rings and evolving!"

Qian Xunji's simple explanation quickly gave Gu Ziyi and Bibi Dong a clear understanding.

It has a profound sense of witnessing history!

It was another kind of inexplicable shock!

It was as if I could see countless predecessors who followed one after another, striving for the development of martial spirits.

Gu Ziyi felt a chill run down his spine. It turned out that the most important thing about absorbing the soul beast's soul ring was for the evolution of the martial soul.

It turns out that some Soul Masters had created their own Soul Rings before, but they were later phased out.

Was his method of creating his own spirit rings wrong?

No... Self-formed soul rings can improve in quality, and in the long run, they are no less valuable than soul beast soul rings.

"I see, the teacher is indeed amazing!"

Gu Ziyi looked at Qian Xunji with feigned admiration, then asked another question: "Teacher, I have another question. When did advanced meditation techniques appear? Have they always existed before?"

"Advanced meditation techniques? No, they're relatively recent. Advanced meditation techniques were created only a few thousand years ago!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji smiled slightly and then answered Gu Ziyi's question with ease.

call--

No wonder, no wonder the method of self-condensing soul rings was lost. It turns out that there was no advanced meditation technique back then, so those soul masters who successfully condensed their own soul rings didn't know that they could improve the quality of their soul rings.

Hearing Qian Xunji's words, Gu Ziyi breathed a long sigh of relief, finally understanding.

Without the advent of advanced meditation techniques, self-forming soul rings would clearly be the wrong path.

But we are no longer in ancient times. Times have changed, and roads that were once impassable are now passable.

Gu Ziyi even had a feeling.

It is thanks to the efforts of so many generations, who have worked tirelessly to develop and evolve martial spirits, that we have so many powerful martial spirits in this era.

It can be said that apart from those low-quality martial souls, the other martial souls have developed to a relatively mature stage.

At this point, if those high-quality martial souls were to condense their own soul rings, they would definitely no longer be without soul skills.

Especially the two martial souls that Gu Ziyi knew, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Nine Heart Begonia, both of which had the same soul skills regardless of what kind of soul beast or soul ring they absorbed.

In other words, they no longer need to absorb anything from the spirit beast's spirit ring; they only need to absorb the energy from the spirit beast's spirit ring.

Therefore, high-quality martial souls that condense their own soul rings will definitely have soul skills.

These high-quality Spirit Hall Soul Masters will have better self-formed Soul Rings.

Because self-formed spirit rings allow for better control over spirit skills and can also improve the quality of spirit rings, as long as the quality of the spirit rings is improved in the later stages, it will definitely be more promising than absorbing spirit beast spirit rings.

Especially for those top-tier martial souls that have evolved to their limit, absorbing soul beast soul rings can only add soul skills with different characteristics to their martial souls, and can no longer bring about much evolution to their martial souls.

When the path of seeking external solutions reaches its end, it's time to turn inward and seek internal solutions.

Extract the characteristics of your own martial spirit, strengthen yourself, purify yourself, and seek new breakthroughs starting from yourself.

After browsing through a large number of records collected by the Spirit Hall, Gu Ziyi became even more convinced of this.

In the past, top-tier martial souls appeared one after another, but ultimately none of them were able to be passed down indefinitely.

Because their martial soul evolution has reached its limit, they need to seek a breakthrough from within themselves. Absorbing soul beast soul rings would not be beneficial to the evolution of their martial soul, and might even cause a decline in the quality of their descendants' martial souls due to incompatibility with their own.

Of course, divinely bestowed martial spirits are another matter.

"It seems that my martial soul is indeed not simple. To be able to possess a soul skill, and such a special one at that, the martial soul itself must be extraordinary."

Gu Ziyi was thus once again convinced of the special nature of his martial soul, but he didn't know why he had only level 1 innate soul power when he awakened it.

"There were no martial souls like talismans before, so it must have mutated!"

"Could it be that my time travel caused my original paper martial spirit to mutate into a talisman? Did I bring the talisman martial spirit with me?"

"If that's the case, then it makes sense. My soul is rather special, which could lead to a mutation in my martial soul!"

"Moreover, it is highly likely that the original owner of this body had a useless martial soul without any soul power. Then, on the first day I woke up, I underwent martial soul awakening. My martial soul had not yet absorbed enough soul power to fully develop, so my innate soul power was only level 1!"

"Damn, if that's really the case, I'd rather wait a year before awakening!"

After confirming the extraordinary nature of his martial soul, Gu Ziyi understood why his innate soul power was so low.

And why is the quality of the martial soul so low? It's because it hasn't fully developed yet; in fact, it could be said that it was awakened right after birth.

Why do the natives here wait until they're six years old to awaken their martial soul? They definitely need it to develop!

As for why his first soul skill was a Taoist skill like the Purification Mantra, Gu Ziyi was not sure at the moment.

I wasn't a Taoist in my previous life; I only knew that talismans were used by Taoists.

……

Chapter 38 The news spreads

"Xiao Yi, you are a support-type Soul Master, so you don't need to focus too much on combat skills. What you need is to learn how to survive in battle!"

"So I'll teach you a self-created soul skill first: Soul Power Shield!"

After the course on martial spirit knowledge ended, Qian Xunji taught Gu Ziyi a set of self-created spirit skills. Without using spirit rings, he could mobilize the spirit power in his body to form a shield to protect himself.

Gu Ziyi was not surprised at all that the Spirit Hall also possessed its own created spirit skills.

Compared to Tang San's Xuanyu Hand, Purple Demon Eye, and Ghost Shadow Step, it certainly can't compare, but the Spirit Hall must also have its own self-created spirit skills.
