Chapter 365 Soul Power—That's the Power of God! [Please Subscribe! Please Vote!]

"Senior, if you look at it this way, the level 99 that traditional Soul Masters consider to be still has room for further advancement."

On the vast ocean, there was no wind or waves. After hearing the words of the Demon Orca King, Chen Hong pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke to Qian Daoliu behind him.

Chen Hong could guess with his toes that the even more powerful level 99 human expert mentioned by the Demon Orca King was none other than Poseidon, the first sea god.

Furthermore, from the Demon Orca King's words, Chen Hong gleaned an additional piece of information: Poseidon's strength continued to increase even before he became a god, until he finally achieved godhood. This undoubtedly proves that there are unknown avenues for advancement beyond the level 99 peak Douluo. Although Chen Hong cannot personally witness how Poseidon continued to improve his level 99 soul power, based on current information, Qian Daoliu's path to the soul power crystal core, Chen Hong's spiritual essence, soul power essence, and the three realms of soul rings—these research results and experimental plans can all essentially continue to enhance the strength of a level 99 peak Douluo.

If Qian Daoliu can complete the condensation of the Soul Power Crystal Core in the next few years, and with Chen Hong's help, use the Spirit Essence and Soul Power Essence to further enhance his spirit and soul power, and gradually reach perfection in the three realms of Soul Rings, then Qian Daoliu's future potential will truly reach the limit of the ninety-nine level soul power realm under the Soul Master system.

"There is a fundamental difference in strength between gods and humans, but there may be room for further advancement between the two." Qian Daoliu paused for a moment, then said. He also understood who the Demon Orca King was referring to. Although Poseidon, the Sea God, was a prominent figure from two thousand years ago in the records of the Spirit Hall, in the eyes of these sea spirit beasts with a cultivation level of over one hundred thousand years, two thousand years was merely an insignificant fragment in their long lives.

What human soul masters consider ancestral figures are nothing more than insignificant ripples in the grand scheme of things to these 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

Because of their bug-like lifespan, soul beasts are considered a uniquely gifted race.

Of course, some might argue that spirit beasts are diverse and shouldn't be categorized into a single race. However, there's a phenomenon that defies explanation using traditional taxonomy, which groups all spirit beasts, and even humans, into the same broad racial category.

That is: in theory, there is no reproductive barrier between different types of spirit beasts.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Hong, as an intermediate human being, has always believed that the origin of humanity is definitely related to soul beasts in an inexplicable and profound way.

"God, indeed, that being is a powerful god." The Demon Orca King nodded slightly, then did not dwell on the matter further, but returned to the main topic, explaining the purpose of his clan's operation: "Human Chen Hong, I, on behalf of the Demon Orca clan, express my gratitude to you for the batch of soul tools you gifted to Bai Xie, those devices that can influence the minds of soul beasts."

As the Demon Orca King spoke, its massive body nodded slightly toward Chen Hong, expressing its gratitude.

"That kind of soul tool called 'Sage' is extremely important to soul beasts. Your actions have already made you a lifelong friend of all intelligent soul beast races."

Chen Hong gifted the Demon Orca King Bai Xie two types of soul tools: the [Sage] module and the [Healing] module. However, it seems the Demon Orca King is a very discerning individual; healing abilities aren't rare among soul beasts, and large soul beasts like the Demon Orca possess remarkably strong self-healing abilities. But there's one unique ability that's unimaginable for the soul beast race—enhancing the intelligence of soul beasts.

Chen Hong's Sage Skill, if transferred to the Soul Master world, would be a divine skill capable of increasing a Soul Master's cultivation speed and comprehension tenfold! Of course, in reality, both tenfold cultivation speed and tenfold comprehension can only be achieved by Soul Beasts; for Soul Masters, only the tenfold increase in comprehension is possible. Otherwise, if Chen Hong could truly increase a Soul Master's cultivation speed tenfold, he would be practically invincible, a true national treasure.

Of course, Chen Hong's current status is in no way inferior to that of a national treasure. In "Soul Beast Cultivation Studies," Chen Hong is already attempting to systematically study the cultivation logic of soul beasts. If humans are regarded as a special kind of soul beast, then a sufficiently mature Soul Beast Cultivation Studies system will inevitably have a very important and positive impact on Soul Master Cultivation Studies.

Moreover, there is another crucial point: Chen Hong's Soul Eye opened the channel for him to study 'Soul Power'. Gods can bestow upon mortals divine Soul Rings, divine Soul Power, and the ability to increase the lifespan of Soul Rings. In other words, 'Soul Power' is a realm that only gods can intervene in. That is to say, only gods can observe Soul Power and, by influencing it, produce various macroscopic effects on mortals.

Now, although Chen Hong's external soul bone and soul eye have a great negative impact on him (his own realm is not high enough, he is almost blind, and all his spiritual power can only be activated for a moment to obtain a moment of 'extraordinary vision'), it has allowed Chen Hong, with a mortal body, to usurp a part of the great power belonging to the gods in advance.

Otherwise, according to traditional thinking, soul power constructs the world, and mortals cannot directly perceive soul power; they can only passively sense it. Only gods can bestow soul power upon mortals.

Yes, gods can bestow soul power upon mortals, allowing commoners without innate soul power to acquire the talent to cultivate it.

This point is documented in numerous myths and legends within the ancient records of the Spirit Hall. Initially, Chen Hong dismissed it as a legend, but upon further examination of the fragmentary accounts of divine rewards revealed during the Angel God Trial, he realized that gods truly could bestow upon mortals the talent to cultivate soul power.

Furthermore, granting ordinary people innate soul power isn't something only gods can do; some immortal herbs can also achieve this. Immortal herbs capable of increasing innate soul power levels have already been detected in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley. However, even with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the Philosopher's Stone providing a hundredfold improvement in training conditions, using immortal herbs to grant ordinary people innate soul power is still an extremely extravagant act. Such high-level resources as immortal herbs can only realize their maximum value when used on true SSR-level characters.

Knowing this, Chen Hong was able to instantly realize the importance of external soul bones and soul eyes.
