The Peerless Tang Sect: Heavenly Heart Douluo

Chapter 92 The Secret History of the Main Body, Martial God Island (5000 words)

"Each time we Soul Masters use the ability of the Second Awakening, we consume a lot of our life force and spiritual power. However, after successfully learning this secret technique, we can enhance the essence of our Martial Soul by letting the light and shadow of the Second Awakened Soul permeate ourselves."

"Even though it still can't compare to the full-power state of the second awakening, after going through this level of tempering and transition, for the original Soul Master, the innate Soul Power is no longer a shackle. The only thing that limits our future development path as original Soul Masters is our understanding of our own Martial Soul."

"So, Master, you've said so much, but what does all of this have to do with the lifespan of a Soul Master's Soul Rings?" Huo Yuhao asked, expressing his doubts at the opportune moment.

Poison Immortal nodded and continued, "Have you ever considered this question? Why do soul beasts display different colored soul rings after they die at ten, a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years old?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head, and Du Busi continued, "In our Body Sect's view, the so-called color of a soul ring is all nonsense. It's just a change that occurs when the energy within a soul beast's body becomes too condensed. Although we don't understand the specific principles or how to define them, in reality, a soul ring is formed by the condensation of energy."

"After mastering the Body Essence Secret Technique and completing the first stage of Light and Shadow Infusion, the second stage of the Body Essence Secret Technique is Ring Explosion!"

"Exploding rings? But isn't that a method used by the Haotian Sect?" Huo Yuhao frowned and asked.

"Bullshit, this is nothing more than a desperate gamble. Even non-Haotian Sect Soul Masters can use it when they are about to die, as long as they have strong control over their soul power. The only thing they will do is die."

"It's just that the people from the Haotian Sect are physically strong enough, and they have specifically modified it, so they can always push themselves to improve it."

"Our ancestor did indeed get the inspiration from those guys' ring-exploding methods, because in the ancestor's view, a Soul Master's Soul Rings are formed from the energy of a complete Soul Beast."

"Although after being absorbed by a Soul Master, the Soul Master can use its power to combine with their own Martial Soul to create Soul Skills, the energy within is essentially two completely different entities from the Soul Master's own role; they are both close to being independent."

"And even if a Soul Master becomes stronger after that, even if they become a Limit Douluo, it only means that they can use higher-level, more condensed Soul Power to increase the output of their Soul Skills."

"However, this still cannot affect the essential level of the spirit ring or the essential strength of the spirit skill. For example, even for a titled Douluo, the Blue Silver Grass's entanglement is only a ten- or hundred-year spirit skill. What can it do?"

"The second stage of our sect's secret technique, Ring Detonation, is to completely eliminate the power of the soul beast within the soul ring by detonating it, allowing the soul ring to be fully integrated into the human body. Then, through the secondary awakening light and shadow of the main body's martial soul, it is refined. After all the residual impurities belonging to the soul beast are washed away, what remains is the pure power belonging to the soul master."

"After the spirit ring explodes and reforms, it can be imbued with the spirit master's own spirit power. By filling it with the spirit master's own original spirit power, the upper limit of the spirit ring can be expanded, allowing it to continue to grow along with the spirit master's own spirit power."

"Furthermore, as the spirit rings are continuously strengthened, their power will also continuously feed back to the spirit master, thus expanding the quality of the spirit master's spirit power and physical strength invisibly. These three can be considered to complement each other. Otherwise, what makes you think that all of us, as original spirit masters, possess physical strength far exceeding that of other spirit masters?"

"Even a pig is worlds apart from a pig from a pig that's lived in a thousand-year-old ring road!"

"However, this secret method also has its limitations, because the stronger the soul ring, the more effort and soul power are required during the refining process, and the higher the level of the second awakening light and shadow will be."

"Because my last three soul rings were all 100,000 years old, I had no choice but to break the first six soul rings through this secret method. However, it laid an extremely deep foundation for me and created my strength, which far exceeded that of ordinary Super Douluo."

"Furthermore, according to our Body Sect's research, if a Soul Master's Body Martial Soul is of a high enough level, they can even use the Martial Soul as a filter to directly absorb the Soul Rings generated by other Soul Beasts, shatter them, purify them into pure Soul Power, and inject them into their own Soul Rings, thus replacing the long process of using their own Soul Power for purification."

"However, although this method is more convenient and faster, it is also extremely difficult. It has both advantages and disadvantages. You have to constantly scan your spiritual sea and soul power to ensure the purity of your martial soul and soul power."

"Once you have refined all your spirit rings, it means that you have made your body pure. At this time, we must hurry up and enter the third stage of cultivating the secret technique of the main body. Otherwise, if you absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring like me, this step will be extremely troublesome."

"The third stage is the final step our original ancestor reached, which we call the Golden Body. Only Soul Masters whose awakened light and shadow are at the Gold level are qualified to cultivate this stage. This stage involves using a Soul Ring of sufficient age to entrust one's Golden Awakened Light and Shadow."

"Completely integrate it into your body, and after this stage is completed, the power of the Soul Master's Martial Soul will be greatly enhanced. After the final stage, every move will be the great power of a second awakening."

"Moreover, under these circumstances, the owner's Qi and blood are connected and integrated, and can be mobilized at will, making it easy to break through the final step from level 99 to level 100."

"Looking at all the previous generations of Body Douluo, only the first generation Body Ancestor successfully stepped into the final realm of the third stage during the ninth level of the Divine Trial. Even I only went halfway. It's a pity that if my brother were still alive, alas," Du Busi sighed silently.

After speaking, Du Bu Si flew with Huo Yu Hao for a long time without saying a word before arriving at a remote island overseas. The island was not large; it was more like a reef and coral reef in the sea. From the air, it looked like looking down at the sea, and most people would not notice it at all.

However, with Poison Undying flying at full speed, this place is already a day and a night away from the mainland, and is closer to the sea area adjacent to the Sun Moon Empire. At the same time, the mainland can no longer be seen at all.

It was only at this moment that Du Busi spoke up, saying, "This is where our original ancestor, the first generation of Original Body Douluo, obtained the divine inheritance. Although the inheritance has now been taken away, it has become a vital and important place for our Original Body Sect. As the future sect leader, you naturally need to know this in advance."

"For ordinary disciples who cultivate the Body Form Secret Technique, I will only have them stay in the environment created by other Body Form Douluo within the sect to comprehend it."

"Moreover, according to the records left by the original Douluo, after he left this island, he traveled north to a vast continent. He also traveled on that continent, where there was a similar Soul Master civilization, but it was not as strong as our Douluo Continent."

"Unfortunately, the first ancestor did not find a breakthrough opportunity there. He only recorded that the space there seemed to be very unstable, with broken alternate dimensions being born from time to time, making it not very safe. Moreover, due to the various inconveniences caused by language barriers, he eventually returned to our continent."

"Currently, the various forces in Douluo Continent are not very peaceful. Moreover, I suspect that there is a mastermind behind the Star Luo City incident. Now that Mu En, the Dragon God Douluo of Shrek Academy, is dead, there are clearly no more Limit Douluos on the continent. In my opinion, Xuan Zi, that good-for-nothing, is definitely not enough to keep things in order."

"Perhaps in a while, not long after, another bloodbath will sweep across the continent, and it is not impossible that dynasties will change. As the successor of my Body Sect, I plan to take you to another continent after you have completed this stage of cultivation."

"We must avoid their sharp edge first, and buy you time and opportunity to grow. I believe that with your unparalleled talent, you will surely be able to replicate the glory of the first ancestor of the Body Sect and carry forward our Body Sect."

Huo Yuhao nodded upon hearing this, not pressing for further questions. However, he secretly thought to himself: "Another continent? And I've heard that the space there isn't very stable. I wonder if this is the continent containing the Dragon Valley Secret Realm? If so, perhaps now is the perfect time for me to go there."

As Du Busi brought Huo Yuhao to the island, they immediately entered a deep depression in the sea. Huo Yuhao used his soul power to first isolate himself from the surrounding seawater, and then discovered that it was connected to the outside ocean, and that there was another world further away.

Du Busi led Huo Yuhao through the water, and after breaking through a membrane-like barrier, they arrived at a cave.

Unlike the outside world, the air in this cave is fresh and extremely dry, without a trace of moisture, while the surrounding cliffs are inlaid with gems that illuminate the place as if it were daytime.

Huo Yuhao recognized that these gems seemed to be an extremely rare material for making soul tools, possessing excellent energy conductivity and absorption.

In the light, simple figures were carved into the cliff face, seemingly performing slow, repetitive actions. Huo Yuhao's first impression was: "Good heavens! Did that first-generation Douluo encounter a martial arts manual left behind by a transmigrator from some martial arts world?"

These simple character drawings do not show anything special or reveal any martial souls or spirit rings, but each of their actions seems to have a unique charm, which is obviously out of place in the martial soul world of Douluo Continent, just like the existence of Tang Sect is so conspicuous in this world.

Although he didn't know what the martial arts or cultivation methods engraved on it were, Huo Yuhao immediately realized the difference in quality after comparing it with the emasculated version of the Xuan Tian Gong. Huo Yuhao then used his mental power to memorize it. Although he was currently cultivating his self-created Tian Xin Ji Yi Gong, it might be useful in the future or he could draw inspiration from it.

"As I told you before, the first generation of the original body Douluo was framed and thrown into the sea. At that time, he was just a small Great Soul Master. He went out to sea with the fleet to fish, but his hands and feet were tied and he was thrown into the ocean."

"Fortunately, he tapped into his potential in the critical moment, and with the help of the ocean currents, he was transported here by an underwater current. Otherwise, our Body Sect might not have been born."

"These are records of cultivation techniques passed down by the deity who left behind the legacy. They were also integrated into the Body Secret Technique by the first generation of Body Douluo. You can take a look; perhaps they will give you some inspiration."

As Du Busi and Huo Yuhao continued deeper, they came to a tightly closed stone door. The stone door looked ordinary, without a speck of moss. Only a thin crack revealed it; otherwise, most people would probably think that the cave had reached its end.

"After the first ancestor arrived here, he used these techniques to regulate his nearly depleted blood and qi, and at the same time successfully awakened his martial soul to the black iron level."

"You have to understand that back then, he only managed to awaken his powers with great determination and perseverance, without any assistance or precious medicine to nourish his body. Even if it was only a Black Iron level awakening, he could still be called the first person in history. However, at that time, he was depleted of qi and blood, and although he successfully awakened, he was already on the verge of death."

"He struggled for a long time before finally reaching the depths of this cave. Only after pushing open this door did he undergo a true transformation and truly receive the favor of that deity."

Du Busi gestured for Huo Yuhao to step forward and push open the stone door. Huo Yuhao stepped forward, put his hands against the stone door, and tried to exert force, but found that his strength was like a stone sinking into the sea, nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, Du Busi didn't say anything, but just smiled and told Huo Yuhao to keep pushing the door open: [Hehe, when I came here, I was exhausted like a dead dog. Kid, you can't escape.]

Huo Yuhao thought carefully. At that time, as a second-ring Great Soul Master and the First Generation Body Douluo who was exhausted, he must have successfully opened the door, otherwise there would never have been any other stories afterward.

But how did he do that? Logically speaking, the power he is using now far exceeds the power that the original Douluo could exert under extreme conditions. Even if the opponent used the power awakened by the Black Iron, it is impossible for him to be stronger than he is now.

Then Huo Yuhao seemed to understand something, and stopped holding back, pouring all his power into it. At the same time, a faint golden figure kept appearing behind him. This was Huo Yuhao's awakening light and shadow. The colors on the gate gradually changed: black iron, bronze, silver, gold, and finally a dazzling mixed color.

At this moment, Du Bu Si watched from the sidelines, somewhat shocked but also somewhat as if it were not unexpected. After all, how could an ordinary Golden Awakening be favored by the Seed of Inheritance to this extent?

As Huo Yuhao's power gradually depleted, he persisted for another ten minutes using his physical strength until his body was on the verge of collapse. Although he remained clear-headed thanks to his spiritual power, he was still very alert.

The gate opened as if by magic, but Huo Yuhao didn't sense anything different. Du Busi nodded and continued, "This place is the legacy mechanism left behind by that god from the past."

"But unfortunately, since the fall of our first ancestor, none of us descendants, even those with extraordinary potential, have been able to successfully activate the inheritance. We speculate that this divine inheritance can only be passed down to one person, regardless of success or failure."

"However, this place of inheritance was preserved by the original body, and before his death, he also designated this place as his place of inheritance."

"Weren't you curious why we'd never seen the wonders left by the first ancestor outside the Body Sect before? Now I'll tell you, they're right here!"

"This is also the place where all the original form Douluo have come to comprehend their own direction. I have been here, my brother has been here, and I believe that you should also gain something from it and understand your own path."

Then, Du Busi took out a booklet from his pocket and handed it to Huo Yuhao: "First, memorize all the secrets of the body in this book, and then go in."

Huo Yuhao then began to carefully peruse the thin booklet in his hand, which contained all the accumulations of the Body Sect over nearly ten thousand years and the records left behind by the Body Douluo of each generation.

After a moment, Huo Yuhao had memorized everything before gently closing the book and handing it back to Du Busi. He then walked directly into the stone chamber.

As Huo Yuhao entered, the door slammed shut.

After Huo Yuhao entered, he found it completely empty, a pure white expanse devoid of anything. However, Huo Yuhao realized that this place was just like an ordinary person's spiritual sea. He then decisively activated his Heart Wall.

He surrounded himself, isolating himself from the outside world. Then, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, turning into an ordinary stone chamber. On a stone seat in front of him sat a burly man, his body covered in gold and lifelike, staring angrily at the doorway.

However, it seemed that his right shoulder to his left lower abdomen had been torn apart by some terrifying force. His golden flesh was turned outwards, revealing the bone, and blood seemed to be flowing faintly in his veins. It was also golden in color, as if he had just died and was still alive.

Huo Yuhao realized that perhaps the moment he entered this place, he was pulled into the illusion by the spiritual will left behind by the original body Douluo, which could also be called a kind of martial will.

However, Huo Yuhao was relieved after discovering that his Heart Wall could perfectly isolate it. Then, Huo Yuhao threw out a spiritual avatar, which was immediately stunned and was obviously pulled into the illusion.
