Douluo Continent: If the system had arrived ten thousand years earlier, I would have crushed Tang Sa

As for the question of who should go in first, the four hall masters—no, the three hall masters—and Xiao Wu all said in unison, "Sect Master (Xiao Tian), you definitely have to go in first."

Yang Wudi continued, "Sect Master, your current soul power is level 66. With your talent and the boost from the training over there, you are fully capable of increasing your soul power by four levels within a year. And once you come out, you can immediately obtain your seventh soul ring and possess a Martial Soul True Body, which will be a qualitative leap."

Suddenly, a semi-transparent screen appeared in front of Xiao Tian.

[A bounty is now being offered. Please accept the task according to your needs.]

[Task: Within seven days, raise your soul power to level 70, condense your seventh soul ring using your own power, and condense your own spiritual soul core.]

[Reward: 200,000 points, Xuanyuan Sword embryo.]

Xiao Tian:

Well, I have to say, the rewards this system gives out for every task are always perfectly timed and hit the nail on the head. If his martial soul wants to evolve into the Xuanyuan Sword, then the Xuanyuan Sword embryo is undoubtedly an essential element.

It should be noted that Fifteen is merely a tiny flaw in the Xuanyuan Sword, and it is also the sword spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword.

However, if the martial spirit is to successfully evolve into the Xuanyuan Sword, what this world already has is far from enough.

According to the evolution method previously given by the system, in addition to obtaining the Xuanyuan Sword embryo, his soul power level also needs to break through to level 100 (whether he has a godhood or not is irrelevant).

Only when he successfully breaks through to the level 100 realm will he have enough power to completely separate his martial spirit from himself and then perfectly fuse with the Xuanyuan Sword embryo.

In this way, it can evolve into a powerful existence that surpasses even the ultimate artifact in one step.

Of course, this Xuanyuan Sword embryo itself is very likely already an extraordinary existence that surpasses even the most powerful artifacts.

However, given his current strength, he is indeed unable to fully unleash its true power.

However, at this stage, using it as the core of the sect's protective formation is still a relatively suitable option.

With the Xuanyuan Sword embryo as the array's core, as long as no deity above the first level appears, the safety of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect will be guaranteed. He can then make a trip to the far north and the central region of the Starry Sky.

"Little monster, Titan, Niu Tian, ​​and A Yin are your soul spirits. If you enter, can they all go in and cultivate together? Does that count as four people or one person?" Lonely Bo asked his question.

Xiao Tian is definitely one of the first candidates today. As for the other candidate, it doesn't really matter.

Xiao Tian was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and said, "Ah Yin should be able to, but Da Ming and Er Ming have already taken human form, so it's probably not possible."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo felt it was a pity, but he also thought it was normal.

Erming chuckled to himself, "It doesn't matter if we can't go in. It's only a year anyway. If we rely solely on our own cultivation, we'll probably only gain ten or twenty years' worth of cultivation, which is too little for us right now. As long as Xiao Tian's strength can improve, the three of us can all receive cultivation feedback, which will be much faster than if we cultivated on our own."

Da Ming nodded slightly: "Yes, Er Ming is right. The two of us can just guard the sect."

Xiao Tian:

Thinking of their unreliable personalities, Xiao Tian could only advise them: "Although you two are quite strong, you sometimes underestimate your opponents. If an enemy attacks, you must use your full strength immediately, instead of..."

Xiao Tian gave a brief explanation to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, but it was only one day; what could possibly happen?

Da Ming and Er Ming also looked embarrassed and immediately assured each other that such a thing would never happen.

The candidates for tomorrow were quickly chosen: Xiao Tian and Zhu Zhuqing.

As for today, Xiao Tian still needs to make some preparations and arrangements, placing the gravity crystal in the Mental Time Chamber first.

After the meeting, Xiao Tian kept Dugu Bo behind and strolled around the area near the sect with him.

Ning Rongrong was dragged away by Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing. They had noticed something was off about her and Xiao Tian's actions earlier. They didn't believe it was just about absorbing soul bones.

Her three close girlfriends began to talk quietly and shyly in her room.

"What? Little monster, you're saying you're going to start trying to condense your own spirit rings when you reach level 70? Are you confident you can do it?"

Dugu Bo was very worried about this, because the seventh spirit ring is extremely important to a spirit master. The higher the age of the spirit ring, the greater the boost that the spirit body provides to the spirit master.

Although the little monster's talent is extremely monstrous, what if he fails, or even if he succeeds but his lifespan is too short?

Dugu Bo's concerns were not without merit, after all, what Xiao Tian was about to do was unprecedented and extremely difficult.

At first, he thought Xiao Tian planned to have the lower-level Soul Masters in the sect try it out with the pills first. He never expected that Xiao Tian would start with himself!

Xiao Tian smiled, his face full of determination: "Old monster, don't worry, I will definitely succeed! Now that all the conditions have been met, it's time to start trying."

"However, since I am not a transformed soul beast, if I want to condense a soul ring myself, I can only activate the bloodline within my body and connect it with my martial soul. The soul ring condensed in this way is called a Qi and Blood Soul Ring!"

"Qi and Blood Soul Ring?" Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

"Why is it called that?"

"I used to think that as long as the manipulation of soul power was precise enough, the energy provided by the outside world was large enough, and the mental power was strong enough, one could condense a soul ring on their own. However, this method is not suitable for soul masters below the Soul King level. As you know, even a Soul King or above can only control a little bit of this ethereal thing as mental power. Without a suitable mental power cultivation method, an ordinary soul master would probably need to be at least a Soul Saint to release and control their mental power accurately."

Of course, among the Soul Masters I'm referring to, I'm excluding those with spirit-attribute martial souls. Having a spirit-attribute martial soul would certainly make controlling mental power easier.

"So during this period, I also explored a new path in the theory I had previously conceived. Martial spirits are inherited from parents, but if you delve deeper, they are actually inherited from the bloodline power one possesses. The stronger the bloodline power, the higher the quality of the martial spirit and the higher the innate soul power."

"Since martial spirits originate from bloodlines, can the spirit rings required by martial spirits also originate from bloodlines? If we can succeed, then the spirit rings we condense will definitely be the most suitable for us."

Dugu Bo stared at Xiao Tian in disbelief for a long time before letting out a deep breath: "Sometimes, I really want to cut open your head and see what's inside, that you could think of something like this."

Xiao Tian smiled. He couldn't very well say that he was inspired by Tang San because he suddenly remembered that one of Tang San's descendants could condense a spirit ring on his own.

That's right, it's Lan Xuanyu!

At first, Xiao Tian didn't think too deeply about him, assuming that he was able to condense a soul ring on his own because he didn't have much human blood in his body, and was mostly blood from soul beasts, which was why he was able to condense a soul ring on his own.

But now that he himself is involved in condensing his own spirit ring, how Lan Xuanyu condensed his spirit ring is a very important reference for him.

Lan Xuanyu possesses the bloodlines of humans, the Blue Silver Emperor, the Soft Bone Rabbit, the Golden Dragon King, and the Silver Dragon King.

The most concentrated bloodline power among them is the bloodline power of his parents, the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. Lan Xuanyu's Qi and Blood Soul Ring is also formed based on the Dragon God bloodline fused from these two bloodlines.

The reason why soul beasts can transform and condense soul rings on their own is mainly because they have the foundation to support them in condensing the first six soul rings.

But Lan Xuanyu doesn't have the resources of those soul beasts that are over 100,000 years old.

Then, Xiao Tian thought of Lan Xuanyu's two main bloodline powers: the Golden Dragon King bloodline power and the Silver Dragon King bloodline power.

The Dragon God Bloodline Power, formed by the fusion of these two bloodline powers, is the most powerful soul beast bloodline power in the Douluo World, unmatched by any other bloodline power.

This powerful bloodline force was what enabled Lan Xuanyu to condense his own soul ring. The soul ring he condensed was called the Qi and Blood Soul Ring, which meant that Lan Xuanyu used some method to stimulate the power of his bloodline, which caused his bloodline force to burst out with powerful Qi and Blood, thus condensing the Qi and Blood Soul Ring.

In other words, the strength of one's own bloodline is crucial to condensing a bloodline soul ring. The stronger the bloodline, the higher the chance of condensing a bloodline soul ring, and the stronger the soul skill effect of the bloodline soul ring will be.

Strictly speaking, the Qi and Blood Soul Ring has no time limit, but since it is a soul ring that is activated and condensed based on one's own bloodline, the effect it provides to the Martial Soul will also increase as the Soul Master's strength increases.

After all, the stronger a Soul Master is, the more their bloodline power will awaken, thereby enhancing the effect of their Blood Soul Ring.

Therefore, if we want to increase the probability of Xiao Tian condensing a Qi and Blood Soul Ring, we need to prepare a lot of things to replenish Qi and Blood, such as Qi and Blood Potions and Qi and Blood Pills!

Moreover, the higher the quality, the better.

Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi should have common qi and blood-nourishing medicines and pills, but they are mainly used for treatment and restoring physical strength.

Their blood-nourishing medicine is only taken when someone is injured, bleeding continuously, and losing strength, in order to replenish their blood and restore their physical strength.

Besides these effects, the most important aspect of the Qi and Blood potion that Xiao Tian wanted was to stimulate the power of the blood vessels and generate a large amount of Qi and Blood. The quality of this potion was incomparable to that of the existing ones.

"Old monster, there's something I need to ask you." Xiao Tian looked at him with a serious expression.

Dugu Bo replied without hesitation, "What is it? Just tell me, is it related to condensing the Qi and Blood Soul Ring?"

Xiao Tian hummed in agreement, then handed him the recipes for the Qi and Blood Elixir and Qi and Blood Pill, saying, "These are the recipes for making the Qi and Blood Elixir and Qi and Blood Pill. They can stimulate the bloodline power within the body and increase the probability of condensing a Qi and Blood Soul Ring. You only have one day, so make as many as you can and have the core disciples of the entire Medicine Hall help you refine them."

Dugu Bo took the two sheets of paper and began to read them. The method for refining the Qi and Blood Elixir was simpler, and consequently, its effects were weaker, while the Qi and Blood Pill was more effective.

However, to refine Qi and Blood Potions and Qi and Blood Pills, one needs to use the blood of Soul Beasts, which made him look at Xiao Tian with some difficulty.

Xiao Tian knew what he was worried about, so he could only say, "I'll talk to Da Ming and Er Ming about this and have them bleed you a little before diluting it for the process. Old monster, remember, although we say we want to resolve the conflict between soul beasts and soul masters, it doesn't mean we won't kill a single soul beast."

We are fundamentally changing the interdependent relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts. All that's needed is blood, not essence blood. Using blood-activating potions and pills, along with certain methods, Soul Masters can condense Soul Rings on their own, instead of having to hunt Soul Beasts. This will greatly alleviate the conflict between them.

In Xiao Tian's view, only a little blood is needed to condense a soul ring, which is more cost-effective than buying and selling, and even more convenient than contracting a soul spirit.

After all, low-level soul beasts, unless they have high bloodlines, simply cannot understand human speech. And even if a soul beast with high bloodlines can understand, why would it form a contract with you?

Although it's supposed to be mutually beneficial, becoming a spirit reduces their activity area and restricts their freedom to some extent, which is unacceptable to many spirit beasts.

Dugu Bo suddenly realized that he had indeed been holding back. He also understood that no matter what they did, there would inevitably be conflicts between soul masters and soul beasts, and there would inevitably be casualties.

Those who stand at the pinnacle of the continent should have a much longer-term vision. They should not only consider the conflict between individual soul beasts and soul masters, but also the conflict between the entire soul beast and soul master groups.

This might seem cold and indifferent. However, since some things exist in this world, they must have their reasons for existing. Some problems, no matter how hard we try to change them, are difficult to eradicate completely.

They couldn't even completely resolve conflicts between people, let alone thoroughly resolve the complex and profound conflict between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts.

Contradictions never disappear; they simply shift from one form to another.

All they can do is try their best to reduce these conflicts and minimize their impact.

"Alright, then you go find Da Ming and Er Ming first. I'll go to the medicine hall and have Yang Wudi gather all the core disciples there to hurry up and refine the Qi and Blood Elixir and Qi and Blood Pill. He has that Fragrant Qi Luo Immortal Herb, so the success rate of refining it should be greatly increased."

The two exchanged a glance and then disappeared from the spot.
