Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 89 The Source of a 100,000-Year Space: Right Leg Bone, Soul Core, and Vision, Imminent

After easily resolving the issue of soul tremors, absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring wasn't actually a particularly big problem for Shu Yan.

Even at the very end of the absorption process, the two Ice and Snow Emperors did not directly help Shu Yan; the whole process went so smoothly that it was as if they had applied lubricant.

After his slowly increasing soul power level finally stopped, a gust of wind suddenly appeared beside him, followed by a snowstorm.

Xue Di and the others had already noticed the unusual activity, but after the snowstorm subsided, they couldn't find Shu Yan anywhere.

Just then, Xu Jiujiu, who was standing at the very back, suddenly sensed something unusual behind her. She turned around abruptly and bumped right into Shu Yan's chest, then was pulled into his arms.

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress also turned around, their eyes filled with a smile as they looked at Shu Yan. Then, the Snow Empress asked:

"It seems this guy's spirit rings really didn't disappoint us..."

Shu Yan nodded. He held on for a long time, then his figure disappeared instantly. When he reappeared, he was about fifty meters away. The light and shadow flickered again, and the two of them were back in front of each other.

A hint of surprise flashed in Hyotei's eyes, then he asked:

"Is this soul skill teleportation? Why can't I sense any soul power fluctuation?"

Shu Yan smiled, gently put Xu Jiujiu down, and then said:

"This is just a simple spatial warp, a soul skill I performed using the spatial power of my sixth soul ring. You could also call it teleportation. If I don't have Jiu Jiu with me, my maximum teleportation range is about 150 meters. If I need to bring someone with me, that distance will be reduced by half."

"Fortunately, this soul skill consumes very little soul power. Compared to my enormous total soul power, it's practically negligible. It's not even a soul skill brought by a soul ring; it's just something I developed myself. Furthermore, this soul skill doesn't require any charging or conditions; it's completely instantaneous. If I absorb the soul bone produced by this guy, I probably won't even need to consume that little bit of soul power."

Hyotei stepped forward and looked Shu Yan up and down, then said with some envy:

"This is really frustrating. You only acquired a spirit ring, yet you've already gained such a monstrous and versatile spatial spirit skill. Sigh, I wonder when I'll be able to truly control the power of space..."

Shu Yan raised an eyebrow, then said:

"To truly control and freely utilize the power of space, one needs to condense a Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core, which is quite difficult."

Hyotei pursed his lips, sighed, and said:

"As far as I know, among all the ferocious beasts, only Di Tian has successfully condensed the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core. Even Xue'er failed at the last step. But fortunately, Xue'er is exceptionally talented. Although she failed to condense the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core, she has at least gained initial control over the power of space..."

Shu Yan raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything more.

The concept of a soul core appeared relatively late and has almost no connection to the Douluo Continent series he is familiar with. The current human Limit Douluo all condensed dual soul cores using the method of resonance. Among the soul beasts, Di Tian had dual soul cores that complemented each other's yin and yang. The Demon Emperor, who was hidden behind the Holy Spirit Cult, was similar. If he remembered correctly, Huo Yuhao in the original work seemed to have three soul cores.

Just as he was pondering, Xue Di walked over with a soul bone that shimmered with silvery-white light and was as transparent as glass. Xue Di then handed the soul bone to Shu Yan.

"We're lucky. This guy produced a right leg bone, which isn't a particularly important part, and it fits perfectly, saving it from taking up space for my and Bing'er's soul bones later..."

Shu Yan put it away, smiled, and then said:

"Go back now. You should also go and absorb and refine the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow to undergo your tribulation. Perhaps, with the help of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, Sister Xue will be able to successfully condense a Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core?"

Xue Di looked up in surprise, but then she chuckled and shook her head before speaking:

"I no longer care about these things. Whether or not I condense a Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core is not important to me now. What's important now is you. That Rakshasa God said there's a suitable divine position for you on the continent. Perhaps, when you have time, you can go and talk to her about this..."

Shu Yan smiled gently, then nodded in agreement.

His thoughts coincided with Xue Di's, which can only be described as a unique kind of telepathy between the two...

……

After tidying everything up, everyone returned to the core area.

Shu Yan planned to stabilize his soul power before absorbing the right leg bone, which was the source of space for 100,000 years.

Yes, Shu Yan chose this name himself. It may not sound good, but it certainly reflects reality.

Furthermore, after absorbing the sixth ring of the 100,000-year soul ring, Shu Yan's soul power reached level 63. The 100,000-year soul ring only increased his cultivation by three levels, which is somewhat astonishing.

Unfortunately, the quality and total amount of his soul power are what they are. Being able to advance three levels is already a blessing. After absorbing this 100,000-year-old soul bone, his soul power should hopefully reach around level 65. If we calculate it this way, three years later, he might even have a chance to directly reach the Soul Douluo realm.

While planning his own cultivation speed and situation, Shu Yan also began to make arrangements for Xu Jiujiu.

After taking control of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, they will undoubtedly reap a bounty of immortal herbs and treasures.

The Qiluo Tulip and the Xingluo Spirit Pearl definitely belong to Xu Jiujiu. Besides that, Shu Yan actually wanted to leave her the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and even the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, but it seems that immortal herbs cannot be consumed in large quantities...

Shu Yan scratched his head, deciding to have Bibi Dong revive the Chrysanthemum Douluo from ten thousand years ago first. This guy's soul had always been in Bibi Dong's hands, and he also knew a lot about immortal herbs, so his opinions were somewhat reliable. They would make a final decision later.

On the other side, the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor also sat cross-legged in the Snow Emperor Palace and began to refine and absorb the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow. The two of them needed about two months this time. Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu were not in a hurry and had the patience, so there was nothing to say.

During this time, Xiao Bai stayed near the Snow Emperor Palace, almost never leaving her side. His loyalty to the Snow Emperor was almost beyond his own life. Shu Yan was happy with this. The far north was suitable for his cultivation. In addition, the nights in the core area were almost full of aurora and various rare star phenomena. Xu Jiujiu absorbed the power of the starry sky here even faster than outside, which surprised her greatly.

Days passed peacefully. During this time, Xu Jiujiu's soul power broke through one level again, reaching level forty-six. This was a month after the group arrived in the far north. The Snow Empress and Ice Empress's condition had also undergone subtle changes. The great calamity they had once feared seemed to be just around the corner...
