Chapter 106 The Ice Emperor Makes a Firm Decision, Dual Spiritual Apertures Condense, "Soul Core Furnace"

Hyotei fell into a deep silence.

Seeing the Ice Emperor's silence, the Snow Emperor paused for a moment before calmly saying, "Don't be afraid, Ice'er. If that human boy's preferences are truly like this..."

"I can do it for you."

Hyotei suddenly looked up, "Yukitetsu?!"

The Snow Empress shook her head, her face remaining completely calm and composed. "I am the Ice and Snow Maiden, an elemental being by nature. My physical form can be altered to a certain extent. It's just a matter of making me smaller, which is not difficult for me."

"That human boy already likes to obtain so-called cultivation data from me. If he also has a suitable appearance, his gaze will probably fall more on me than on you, Bing'er."

"If I alone can secure the peace of the far north, it's a good deal, and there's no need to hesitate."

Hyotei listened, his pupils trembling slightly, unable to utter a single word.

She knew that Xue Di's words meant she had made up her mind and was truly prepared to do it.

Without a doubt, if Xue Di's speculation is true, and the human boy does prefer the petite type, then Xue Di's idea has a very high probability of being realized.

But what if we see Xue Di (the Snow Emperor) going into a fire pit?

She can't.

So, if that's really the case...

Hyotei took a deep breath, gritted their teeth, and silently made up their minds.

If that person really appears, even if it means sacrificing myself and being manipulated by that person in reality, I absolutely cannot let Xue Di put herself in danger!

the other side.

Within the undead demiplane.

Jiang Ci'an, who had been waiting for two and a half days, was sitting in the corner of the laboratory, organizing his thoughts on the soul core modification.

He has accumulated a great deal of data on how to possess both a soul core and a spiritual aperture simultaneously in the far north timeline, and has even tried it many times with results.

Just as Jiang Ci'an was writing something in her notebook, the lab door opened.

Electrolux slowly walked out, holding a blood-red spirit ring in his hand.

The aura of that spirit ring was profound and restrained, yet it exuded a palpitating pressure unlike that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

Without a doubt, this is a genuine 100,000-year soul ring!

Electrolux walked up to Jiang Ci'an and handed him the spirit ring.

"I used the 'Ring Fusion and Limit Enhancement Method' to increase the age of this spirit ring. Now, the age of this spirit ring should be around 160,000 years."

"It's only a base of 40,000 years. If we increase it any further, I'm afraid the structure will become unstable. You should absorb it and stabilize its structure before increasing the age on your own."

Jiang Ci'an accepted it with both hands, his golden eyes reflecting the blood-red light of the soul ring, his gaze revealing a hint of satisfaction.

"Thank you, Elder Yi. This age limit is more than enough."

Electrolux waved his hand, stepped aside, and quietly watched Jiang Ci'an, beginning his usual act of protecting him.

Jiang Ci'an held his breath and placed the soul ring in front of him.

Adjust your breathing and calm your mind.

Then absorption begins.

Golden soul power surged forth, drawing the blood-red soul ring slowly into himself. In an instant, a massive amount of energy surged into his body like a flood bursting its banks.

But this time, it didn't have the same feeling of expansion and tearing as usual.

At the same moment, all the ancient soul bones in his body resonated, frantically absorbing the surging energy. Meanwhile, his "spiritual apertures" operated at full power, refining and compressing the enormous energy from the soul ring into pure golden soul power, which flowed into his meridians.

The whole process went exceptionally smoothly, and the soul ring was absorbed in just a few hours.

Jiang Ci'an opened his eyes.

Her golden eyes were even more dazzling than before, yet much more reserved.

He lowered his eyes and looked to his side.

His spirit ring configuration of four black and one red was clearly displayed, with the five spirit rings quietly surrounding him, exuding a chilling aura.

When he returns, he will use the "Ring Fusion and Limit Enhancement Method" to increase the age of those four black soul rings as well. At that time, there will be five 100,000-year soul rings!

At this moment, his cultivation level had reached level fifty-three.

From the time he began cultivating as the Silent Rat King, whose first soul ring was only 500 years old, to his current Soul King cultivation and the imminent possession of five 100,000-year soul rings, there is no doubt that this is a qualitative transformation.

But that's not the main event today.

Jiang Ci'an exhaled softly, and in an instant, he easily grasped the power after the breakthrough. Then, he placed his palms upward on his knees.

Soul power surged from within his body, converging towards his arms and beginning to condense into something.

So, what is he doing?

The answer is that he is gathering spiritual energy.

Moreover, it was a single breath that brought together two.

The spiritual apertures are located on the left and right arms.

Golden light slowly shone in his arms, like two eggs that were nurturing life. The light grew brighter and brighter, illuminating his entire arms and even a small part of his shoulders.

Jiang Ci'an's gaze remained calm, without the slightest hint of panic, and he circulated his soul power with practiced ease.

Having already had the experience of successfully condensing it once, and having repeatedly observed the operation of the Snow Empress's six spiritual apertures in the far north timeline, and having also tried it countless times using a virtual version of myself in the experimental timeline...

For him, condensing spiritual apertures was no longer a challenge.

Just a moment later.

Within his arms, two nascent spiritual apertures simultaneously and successfully condensed.

Golden vortexes slowly rotated deep within her arms, then extended out into countless fine golden threads, weaving into a complex, three-dimensional mesh structure.

The nascent spiritual aperture began to devour the surrounding energy.

The negative energy permeating the undead demiplane was drawn in, surging into his arms. It was refined, purified, and compressed by his spiritual apertures, transforming into pure golden soul power that flowed into his meridians.

With the continuous infusion of energy, the spiritual aperture grows stronger, more stable, and more perfect.

Finally, it was fully formed.

This is the end.

Jiang Ci'an added three spiritual apertures to his body: one in the torso and one in each arm.

But Jiang Ci'an still didn't stop.

He calmed his soul power, and after a little familiarization, he easily took control of the two newly condensed spiritual apertures.

The advantages of being able to sacrifice Xiao Wu at will and gain early access to the power of the next realm within the virtual world were demonstrated at this moment.

He has a level of control over his body that far exceeds that of ordinary people. The adaptation phase after a breakthrough, when his strength surges, is something he can get through in almost no time.

Exhale gently.

He raised his hands, which had just gathered spiritual energy, palms facing each other, and placed them in front of his chest, as if holding a ball.

The spiritual apertures in both arms and the spiritual apertures in the torso rotate simultaneously.

The three spiritual apertures, with the trunk aperture at the core, form a complete energy circulation system.

Soul power flows out from the spiritual apertures of the torso, merges into the spiritual apertures of the arms, and then flows back from the spiritual apertures of the arms to the spiritual apertures of the torso, repeating the cycle. Each cycle is more refined and powerful than the last.

Finally, within the spiritual aperture of the torso, a translucent energy crystal shimmering with brilliant golden light slowly took shape.

So, what is he planning to do next?

The answer is simple.

He wants to condense a soul core.

Or rather... "Soul Core Furnace".
