High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

The cool and gentle soul power flowed out, like sweet spring water nourishing parched land, quickly repairing the subtle cracks and vibrations in Su Jie's soul caused by the extreme pain when he forcibly attacked the Heaven-level Martial Bone.

Just as he was recuperating, several more geniuses below, whose soul power had reached level ten, climbed to the area of ​​steps above level one hundred and fifty.

They had witnessed Su Jie's successful "plundering" of the Divine Treasure Bubble, and their eyes became incredibly fervent and greedy!

Forcible plunder means no inheritance is needed, no one is limited by the path of their predecessors, and the future potential is limitless! Who wouldn't want to break through the divine treasures, achieve celestial phenomena, and roam freely across the starry sea like the legendary Martial Ancestor?

"If he can do it, why can't I!" A proud and arrogant genius from a major sect roared, selected a spirit-level bubble that emitted a sharp golden light, imitated Su Jie, gathered all his soul power and blood energy, and launched a fierce attack, trying to forcibly break through the barrier!

"puff--!"

However, the results were quite different!

The moment his soul power and blood energy collided with the golden bubble, the surface of the bubble shone brightly with golden light, and a golden blade, condensed to the extreme and containing an indestructible will, rolled out like a heavenly blade slashing down!

"No—!" The prodigy only had time to let out a short scream before his entire body, along with his soul power, was cleaved in two by the golden blade, instantly annihilating him without leaving a trace.

Following that, seven or eight more skeptical geniuses chose to try different bubbles.

Some were submerged and swallowed by the raging floodwaters surging from the bubbles; some were corroded by invisible poisonous miasma and turned into pus and blood; and some were charred into charcoal by violent lightning...

In a short period of time, seven or eight geniuses, who would be considered top-tier talents in the entire True Martial World, perished in an attempt to forcibly plunder! Their deaths were gruesome, and even the bubble barrier could not be shaken much!

The harsh reality was like a bucket of ice water, waking up those who were still restless.

They finally understood that Su Jie's success was unrepeatable! He must possess some trump card or method they couldn't comprehend. For them, forcibly plundering was a dead end with no chance of survival!

Helplessness, resentment, jealousy... all sorts of emotions flashed across the faces of the remaining prodigies, but in the end they all turned into a bitter resignation.

Without further hesitation, they focused their minds and began searching for bubbles that resonated with their own aura, honestly releasing their soul power to engage in gentle "resonance" and "inheritance."

In an instant, beams of soul power connected with bubbles in the area above the steps, beginning the inheritance process.

Su Jie took in the whole scene without much emotion. After he finished his meditation, his soul injury healed, and he returned to his peak condition.

Just then, the system's voice rang in his mind, carrying a rare hint of irony:

[Host, do you see those who chose to inherit?]

[Directly inheriting the divine power that hasn't had its residual will erased, while allowing for rapid power gains and an advantage in the early stages of cultivation, also has a small 'side effect' that is almost unknown in this world.]

Su Jie's heart skipped a beat: "Side effects? Danger?"

[Danger? In some ways, it's more troublesome than a direct fall.]

The system's tone carried a calm understanding of the mysteries: "These residual wills will exist like 'parasites' within the inheritor's original power."

As the inheritor continues to integrate with and cultivate this power, his memories, emotions, and even parts of his personality will gradually intertwine and permeate with the remaining fragments of memory of the fallen Divine Treasure Realm warrior.

Su Jie frowned slightly: "Memory fusion? It sounds like we can also gain the experience of our predecessors?"

This is indeed the case initially, as it can accelerate the understanding of powers. However, over time, when the integration reaches a certain level, the inheritor will find it difficult to distinguish which memories are their own and which are "others'".

One's personality, preferences, and even obsessions can be subtly distorted and obscured.

In more extreme cases, one's core memories may be gradually diluted or even forgotten, turning into a "copy" that possesses most of the original owner's memories and personality.

Of course, this process could be very long, taking decades or even centuries.

Su Jie gasped, "This is possession? No, this is a slow personality replacement!"

That's one way to understand it. However, in the world of advanced martial arts, this is not an unsolvable problem. Some powerful sects may have special secret techniques that allow their successors to gradually purify and erase these residual wills, retaining only the pure original power.

Unfortunately, the True Martial World seems to lack such methods. Or rather, no one in the world seems to know this secret.

Su Jie looked at the prodigies who were immersed in the joy of receiving the inheritance, and his eyes became somewhat complicated. They thought they had embarked on a shortcut to heaven, but they did not know that the path they were walking on might be a wrong one leading to "not themselves".

"Luckily, I chose to plunder." Su Jie was relieved, but he wouldn't forcibly interfere with other people's fates. After all, these people were from two different worlds and didn't know each other. Su Jie could only put aside his desire to help others and respect their fates!

His gaze once again fell upon the other spirit-level bubbles in the void, which emitted alluring fluctuations.

He has already formed a Heaven-level Martial Bone, but he still needs more accumulation to prepare for the subsequent "Soul Nourishing Stage" and the condensation of the "Martial Dao Battle Body"!

Having solidified the immense power granted by his Heavenly-level Martial Bone, Su Jie's gaze once again swept over the sea of ​​bubbles in the void. His cultivation foundation had been greatly enhanced; the next step, naturally, was his soul!

Although his soul power had reached level ten, it was still far from enough. According to the system's recent prompt, Su Jie knew that the quality of condensing a "Martial Soul" was closely related to the level of soul power at the time of condensation.

Level 10 is just the starting point! The higher the level of soul power, the greater the potential of the condensed martial soul, and the stronger the cultivation technique rewarded by the system will be.

Soon, his gaze locked onto a target—a bubble that was translucent, with countless stars seemingly flowing inside, radiating a pure and gentle spiritual energy.

[Target detected: 'Starlight Divine Treasury'. This divine treasury is geared towards nourishing and strengthening the soul's origin, and its primal power has a significant effect on enhancing the host's soul power.]

That's it!

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Jie used the same trick again. Relying on the trace of "hair essence" simulated by his level ten soul power, he once again forcefully broke through the barrier of the "Starry Sky Divine Treasury"!

The pure and gentle power of the soul's origin, like a warm tide of starlight, surged into Su Jie's sea of ​​consciousness.

He immediately activated the "Nourishing Spirit Technique" to guide this power to nourish and strengthen his own soul power.

However, problems soon arose.

As the system said, after his soul power reached level ten, each level up required a massive accumulation and a deeper refinement of the essence of his soul. This was a qualitative change, far more difficult than before.

Although the original power of this "Starlight Divine Treasury" is pure, Su Jie's own soul's "digestion" speed is far from keeping up with the absorption speed!
