Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

The Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons is arguably the Tang Clan's most signature skill, but Long Aotian has absolutely no interest in it. While there are many different fighting styles, and any method that can defeat an opponent is a good method, Long Aotian is not fond of hidden weapons. Only those insidious villains who lurk in the shadows and crawl around like to use hidden weapons for surprise attacks. A true man faces things head-on, using brute force to overcome all techniques—that is the true nature of a hero.

As for the last technique, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, Long Aotian was quite interested. By controlling the body's power generation techniques, he continuously accumulated power with each hammer blow, and finally, after eighty-one blows, he released all the power in one go. The power was indeed considerable, making it an extremely powerful combat technique.

However, I haven't practiced hammer techniques yet, so I don't need this Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique for the time being.

Long Aotian flipped to the chapter on the cultivation method of the Purple Demon Eye again and began to study it carefully.

After studying it, Long Aotian discovered that the standard for measuring mental power was indeed somewhat chaotic, and he couldn't figure out what the standard for the strength of mental power in the Soul Master world was.

In the tens of thousands of years of development of Douluo Continent, it was not until the later Dragon King Legend period that there was a standard for classifying spiritual power into seven levels, from the Spirit Origin Realm, Spirit Connection Realm, Spirit Sea Realm, Spirit Abyss Realm, Spirit Domain Realm to the legendary Divine Origin Realm and Divine King Realm. In the current era of Douluo Continent, there is no clear standard for classifying spiritual power levels.

Therefore, Long Aotian carefully compared the descriptions of the various realms of the Purple Demon Eye with the standards for classifying spiritual power during the Dragon King Legend era, and deduced the approximate correspondences between the different levels of spiritual power:

The Spiritual Origin Realm refers to the basic spiritual power that a person is born with, without any prior cultivation.

The Spiritual Realm refers to the point at which a Soul Master begins cultivation and their spiritual power grows to a level that can withstand the spiritual power of a thousand-year-old Soul Beast or a purple Soul Spirit. It is roughly equivalent to the spiritual power level of a Soul Venerable and corresponds to the first level of the Purple Demon Eye.

The Spirit Sea Realm refers to a Soul Master's spiritual power reaching a high level, capable of withstanding the power of a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast or a black Soul Spirit. It is roughly equivalent to the spiritual power of a Soul King and corresponds to the second level of the Purple Demon Eye, the Subtle Realm. In the original novel, before Tang San, a three-ring Soul Master, consumed the Autumn Water Dew, his Purple Demon Eye had already reached the second level, the Subtle Realm. This means that during Tang San's Soul Master period, through the eye-training method of the Purple Demon Eye, he had already reached a spiritual power level above that of a Soul King, which is enough to demonstrate the uniqueness of the Purple Demon Eye's eye-training method in improving spiritual power.

The Spirit Abyss Realm refers to a Soul Master's spiritual power reaching its peak, capable of withstanding 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts or red and orange Soul Spirits. It's roughly equivalent to the spiritual power of a Soul Saint to a typical Title Douluo. The reason for such a large range in the Spirit Abyss Realm is that some exceptionally talented Soul Masters can absorb 100,000-year Soul Rings at the Soul Saint stage, while some Title Douluos at the nine-ring stage might not even be able to absorb a single 100,000-year Soul Ring. Therefore, the range of Soul Master realms corresponding to spiritual power values ​​is extremely wide. The Spirit Abyss Realm corresponds to the third level of the Purple Demon Eye, the Mustard Seed Realm. In the original work, there's an example: Xiao Wu, as a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast who transformed into a human, could only be recognized as a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast by a Title Douluo-level expert. However, after Tang San consumed the Autumn Water Dew, his Purple Demon Eye advanced from the second level, the Subtle Realm, to the third level, the Mustard Seed Realm, allowing him to see through Xiao Wu's 100,000-year-old Soul Beast identity at a glance. This means that the Mustard Seed Realm already possesses spiritual power comparable to a typical Title Douluo.

The Spirit Realm refers to a Soul Master's spiritual power reaching its limit. The spiritual power condenses, and the spiritual consciousness transforms into a spiritual domain, forming its own world. It is equivalent to the ultimate spiritual power of a Peerless Douluo, considered the strongest below the God level, corresponding to the final, vast realm of the Purple Demon Eye. The spiritual power at this realm has reached a stage where it is tangible yet intangible.

As for the spiritual power of the Divine Origin Realm, it has reached the level of a god, and the spiritual power has been transformed into the power of the soul, which is already a tangible and substantial stage.

Having clarified the standards for classifying spiritual power, Long Aotian, comparing his current spiritual power level to the most basic Spiritual Origin Realm, should have already surpassed the standard of the Spiritual Connection Realm, corresponding to the first level of the Purple Extreme Demon Eye.

Long Aotian had only awakened his martial soul for a little over a month. According to ordinary people, his mental strength should still be at the most basic Lingyuan realm. However, Long Aotian was reincarnated with the memories of his previous life, so his mental strength was naturally stronger than that of ordinary soul masters. Without any cultivation, he naturally reached the mental strength of the Lingtong realm.

Long Aotian already possessed a strong foundation in spiritual power cultivation, so cultivating the Purple Demon Eye now is a perfect match.

The Purple Demon Eye needs to rely on the brief appearance of the purple aura from the east at sunrise for cultivation. It is now late at night, so it is temporarily impossible to cultivate. It can only try to cultivate again the next morning.

Long Aotian then flipped to the Xuan Tian Gong chapter and began practicing it, referring to the cultivation method of Xuan Tian Gong.

The soul power circulated through Long Aotian's body for a full cycle, and the first level of the Profound Heaven Technique was completed. The first level of the Profound Heaven Technique corresponds to the cultivation stage of a soul master before obtaining a soul ring. Now that Long Aotian is a level 15 soul master, he easily mastered the first level.

He then began cultivating the second level, without time constraints. The night passed quickly.

Before the sun had even risen, Long Aotian had already opened his eyes, ending his cultivation of the Xuan Tian Gong.

Long Aotian got up and quickly ran outside. He then climbed onto the roof and stared at the gradually brightening dawn in the east.

Before long, a faint purple aura seemed to flash in the pale light of dawn on the distant horizon. Long Aotian stared intently at that purple aura, and at the same time, he used his breathing technique to slowly absorb the purple aura of the rising sun.

The purple aura appeared only briefly. Once the pale white of the night was completely covered by the rising sun, the purple aura vanished entirely. A faint purple hue flickered in Long Aotian's eyes, but it disappeared into his pupils in an instant, and everything returned to normal.

Long Aotian exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling refreshed and clear-headed, his entire being exuding a clear and invigorated spirit. This Purple Demon Eye was indeed extraordinary.

Although this was Long Aotian's first time cultivating the Purple Demon Eye, his spiritual power had already reached a high level before he had even started cultivating, so he was able to cultivate it with ease.

After completing his cultivation of the Purple Demon Eye, Long Aotian jumped off the roof and began to train his body in the courtyard.

Long Yuanba and Ao Yumou also came out of the room. Seeing that Long Aotian was already working on his body, Long Yuanba went to the courtyard to accompany Long Aotian in his training.

Ao Yumou went to prepare breakfast, and after eating, she began her new day of cultivation.
