Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 248 Human Body Self-Forming Soul Ring: Three Flowers Gathering at the Top

Can soul power be preserved?

Lingmeng's eyes lit up, and she was about to beg Tang San for help, but after hearing the last few words, she hesitated—

Should we choose the safer approach?

Or should we try a new cultivation method?

In the former case, she could cultivate normally and become a Soul Master.

The latter, she may become the pioneer of another form of cultivation, but there is a possibility of failure.

How should I choose?

Ultimately, Reimu chose the latter.

There was no other reason; she simply didn't want to disappoint the Earl. He gave her and her mother a place to stay and even treated them as his own, giving them the respect they deserved.

If we don't repay this kindness, how can we live with our conscience?

"A pioneer deserves respect." Tang Sanchao Lingmeng bowed.

"Count, what are you doing?" Lingmeng was a little at a loss and hurriedly helped Tang San up.

"You might think I'm being a bit too serious, but it's necessary politeness. After all, I'm using you as an experiment, so I should give you the respect you deserve." Tang San was sincere, his gaze intense, making Ling Meng's heart flutter. "After all, if you fail, you might not be able to continue cultivating soul power."

Reimu whispered, "It's not a big deal if I can't cultivate. Anyway, I could never reach level ten before."

"This is different. At least your physical fitness can be improved... Never mind, let me introduce the new cultivation method I've arranged for you." Tang San pulled Ling Meng Panxi to sit down and gestured for her to begin meditation.

Reimu did as she was told.

As meditation began, the energy of heaven and earth flowed into Reimu's body, slowly enhancing her soul power.

Tang San placed his hand on the Yintang acupoint between her eyebrows, using his powerful spiritual strength to sense the flow of soul power within Lingmeng's body. He thought to himself, "Indeed, it's different from ordinary soul masters who meditate to cultivate soul power. It's similar to Zhu Zhuqing after obtaining the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger soul ring, who has two sets of soul power flow routes."

"Moreover, compared to Zhu Zhuqing, who still relies on her martial spirit, Lingmeng's martial spirit is integrated with her body, achieving the goal of materialization."

"The existence of primordial deities, or rather, primordial divine beasts, is not an exaggeration."

"As long as the energy level is sufficient and one's mental strength is strong enough, one can reach the level of 100."

Electrolux sensed the energy flow route of Reimu that Tang San had transmitted and said, "Indeed, such a mutation can be said to be a natural-born powerhouse. However, due to the rule in this world that breakthroughs require spirit rings, it is impossible to accumulate the energy of heaven and earth on a large scale to allow one's own life force to undergo a transformation."

"Brother Eli, help me condense a unique spirit ring for her, okay?" Tang San had only one plan for Lingmeng: to help her condense her own spirit ring.

Tang San had already learned the method of condensing spirit rings from Xiao Wu, but ordinary spirit masters, without the original source of 100,000 years of cultivation, could not condense them even if they knew the method, making them as useless as chicken ribs.

However, in the past few days, Tang San and Electrolux have also experimented with some energy that can replace the source of cultivation to condense soul rings.

Qi and blood, soul power, spirit.

These three treasures of the human body can fuse together in a specific ratio, and under the influence of the rules of this world, they transform into soul rings to help soul masters break through.

However, according to their research, if one condenses the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit into a soul ring, then one can only possess such a soul ring in one's lifetime. Moreover, this soul ring does not come with any soul skills and requires the soul master to create it themselves using the three energies of blood, soul power, and spiritual power.

The advantage is that when you encounter a bottleneck in your cultivation, you will only need to rely on your own accumulation and realm, and you will no longer need to rely on the soul rings of soul beasts.

Furthermore, this spirit ring can evolve along with the improvement of the spirit master's essence, energy, and spirit.

"No problem, I also want to try and see if I can truly transcend the rules of this world." Electrolux laughed heartily, his divine sense assisting Tang San's spiritual power as they invaded Lingmeng's body, guiding her essence, energy, and spirit.

Reimu's current soul power is only level eight, but her blood and qi power and mental power are not weak. After all, even though her soul power is absorbed by her body, she is still able to meditate day after day for years. Her body is strengthened by absorbing soul power, and her mental power is strengthened by the tempering she has undergone over the years.

"It might hurt a little, but don't be nervous. Just bear with it, it will pass soon." Seeing Lingmeng's body trembling, Tang San comforted her. "Remember the routes I guided the three energies in your body. In the future, when you cultivate, focus on controlling the flow of your soul power and guiding the other two."

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

Lingmeng's lower, middle, and upper dantian became full, each emitting three beams of light, which were red, blue, and silver, representing blood, soul power, and spiritual power, respectively.

Among them, the white radiance representing soul power was the faintest.

Gu Yuena, who was yawning to the side, suddenly focused intently on the three beams of light that condensed and finally formed a peculiar soul ring composed of cyan, red, and silver. The colors on it flowed in a gradient, like a glowing neon sign.

After this spirit ring appeared, Gu Yuena sensed that the rules of the entire continent were trembling. In order to avoid being noticed by the gods, she hurriedly put a spatial shield around her soul.

However, the gods of the God Realm did not notice the changes on the Douluo Continent at all. After all, they would not care too much about anything that was not at the level of a god.

However, Tang San did indeed attract the attention of the God Realm Committee, but as mentioned above, the gods would not pay special attention to him until he demonstrated god-level power.

After all, the God Realm governs 108 inhabited planets, so how could it possibly keep its eyes on Douluo Star?

After the soul ring was formed, ripples appeared at its center, and three flower buds of different colors sprouted from it. One was blood red, with a surging heat; one was emerald green, like a misty haze, seemingly real yet illusory; and one was crystal clear, like a masterpiece of nature, dazzling and mesmerizing.

This is a three-flowered plant!

When the Xuan Tian Gong is cultivated to its peak, it has the ability to gather the three flowers at the top. In order to greatly increase the success rate of condensing the soul ring, Tang San and Ilex combined it into the soul ring condensation method, so that the three flowers and the soul ring could coexist and be fixed as twins.

After the spirit ring was fully formed, nine black energy chains appeared out of thin air and wrapped around the spirit ring, as if to bind it.

Click!

In an instant, the three chains broke and shattered, and the energy within them dissipated and flowed into Lingmeng's body, causing her soul power to reach level thirty-eight.

"Success?" Reimu sensed the three strange energies within her body. Apart from soul power, the other two were completely unfamiliar, yet she could control them with ease, as if waving her arm or finger.

Moreover, she felt reborn, her body and soul cleansed, as pure as a newborn baby, without a trace of impurity.

My body felt sticky and I was covered in sweat.

To avoid losing her composure in front of Tang San, Lingmeng immediately ran out and disappeared in the blink of an eye. When she reappeared, five minutes later, she had changed into a clean and tidy maid outfit.

"How did you do that?" Gu Yuena felt that the man in front of her was not human at all. He could actually help people condense a soul ring. Moreover, judging from the situation, this soul ring saved Lingmeng the trouble of hunting soul beasts to obtain a soul ring in the future. The improvement of soul power was not restricted at all... No, it should still be subject to some restrictions. Those nine chains were similar to the heavenly tribulation that a 100,000-year-old soul beast would have to face. It just depends on the situation. Breaking those shackles would not require being struck by lightning.

For a moment, Gu Yuena was actually quite happy, because in this way, humans would no longer need to hunt soul beasts to seek breakthroughs. The only thing worth taking from soul beasts was their soul bones and the materials on their bodies.

Without corresponding demand, the conflict between soul beasts and soul masters can naturally be eased...

However, what Gu Yuena didn't know was that even if human soul masters could break through their bottlenecks without the soul rings of soul beasts, they would still cause trouble for the soul beasts.

On a smaller scale, some Soul Masters don't think about creating their own Soul Skills, but rather about using existing ones—a Soul Ring can bring a skill, how convenient is that?

In general, the population of the mainland has been increasing, which will inevitably put pressure on the living space of soul beasts in the future.

This is the fundamental problem and contradiction.

It's impossible to formulate a "family planning" policy in the current Douluo Continent, right?

Tang San even thought the population of the entire continent was too small.

"The human body has three kinds of energy that can achieve extraordinary things: Qi and blood, soul power, and spirit." Tang San explained to Gu Yuena, "Qi and blood can represent a person's vitality, which is real; spirit power is a person's soul power, which is illusory; and soul power is between the two, serving as a harmonizer between them."

"Under my control, the three energies in her body combined in a certain way and, under the rules of the world, formed a soul ring."

Gu Yuena seemed to understand but not quite, then asked, "Can it be popularized?"

"No." Tang San shook his head. "Only in special cases like hers, where the martial soul and the human body are completely integrated and she has been continuously cultivating, possessing strong blood and spirit, can she condense such a soul ring."

"Even if a six-year-old child is born into a major sect and receives medicinal baths and nutritional supplements in his childhood, how much vital energy does he still have? He is not even as strong as a normal adult without soul power."

"This method of condensing a soul ring is equivalent to consuming one's own essence, energy, and spirit, which is lifespan. When a soul beast dies, its soul ring contains the energy of its entire life. Similarly, this kind of soul ring is the same."

Gu Yuena frowned: "So, she sacrificed her own lifespan to condense this soul ring?"

"That's one way to put it, but she didn't actually lose any lifespan."

"Um...why? Aren't spirit rings made from her lifespan? And what about those spirit rings made from essence, energy, and spirit? Why don't they reduce her lifespan?"

"Because she absorbed the spirit ring herself," Tang San said matter-of-factly. "It was originally her own essence, energy, and spirit condensed. After being absorbed, it naturally returned to her body without any rejection reaction. In fact, in my observation, when the three chains on that spirit ring broke, it was able to draw upon the energy of heaven and earth, and her lifespan might even have increased."

Unlike most fan fiction conspiracy theories, this book sets the God Realm as unaware that the Silver Dragon King is on Douluo Star. The reason is simple: if they knew, they would have sent people down to eliminate him completely. After all, the Silver Dragon King is a God-King level powerhouse, so how could they possibly turn a blind eye to him?

They might even go to great lengths to destroy Douluo Star once.

As long as the planet remains in the same location as the star system, life can still be reborn after tens of millions of years.

The gods in the divine realm have plenty of time.

Moreover, the rule that gods cannot descend to the mortal realm was agreed upon by the five amused gods of the God Realm Committee, and it is not some kind of world rule.

The finale of "Heavenly Jewel Change" proved that Tang San, after becoming a god, could go wherever he wanted, as long as it was legal and compliant, or as long as he didn't let other god-kings know. Knowing the law and breaking it is that simple.

Another example is that Ji Dong and Lie Yan were used by good and evil to make bets and have fun. Did these two supreme god kings care about the plane consciousness of the Five Elements Continent?

It's not good at all.

The consciousness of a plane is at most equivalent to a second-level god. Even if there are so-called plane rules, they cannot stop these god-king level powerhouses who are determined to cause trouble.
