"Oh my god!"
"I actually watched his Spirit Ring change from black to red with my own eyes!"
"So, this is how a Spirit Ring's age is increased. Spirit Souls! After fusing a Spirit Soul, as the Spirit Soul's cultivation increases, the Spirit Ring's years increases simultaneously!"
This information, which had once circulated in the Spirit Master world, was brought up again.
In the past, Su Ming hadn't really kept it a secret.
But no matter what others said about improving Spirit Souls to increase Spirit Ring life, no one would actually do it.
Because improving a Spirit Soul was just too difficult.
Most Spirit Masters' Spirit Souls had little intelligence. Even if they cultivated, it was at most natural growth over time.
If one truly wanted to improve a Spirit Soul, simply infusing energy probably wouldn't work.
Su Ming could infuse energy to increase their power because he had touched upon the very essence of Spirit Souls and Spirit Rings.
Other Spirit Masters shouldn't even think about it.
Therefore, no Spirit Master had paid much attention to this before.
But now, Su Ming had raised a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring to a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring right before their eyes!
Su Ming didn't pay attention to the reactions of the Spirit Masters below. His focus was concentrated within his body, sensing his own changes.
He wasn't just sensing this single body, but also the connections between the three bodies.
"Three Spirit Cores within the same time and space, three Spirit Cores across time and space—I've gathered them all."
As this thought flashed through his mind, Su Ming sank into the perspective of the River of Time.
He could sense that, with his present self as the root, his connection to his other two selves was even tighter, as if he could pull them from the past and future into the present at any moment.
What Su Ming didn't know was that while he was experiencing this new sensation of his Trinity, his spiritual power naturally began to spread outward.
In just a moment, it had covered the entire plain.
Countless mysteries began to manifest above the plain. The crowd seemed to see a long river rushing past.
Looking closely, they couldn't see it clearly.
Even the God Kings in the God Realm couldn't see the complete form of this river. They only knew this anomaly was very blurry, yet at a glance, it felt like it should be very clear.
The commotion outside awakened Su Ming. He looked up, noticed the anomaly, and quickly realized that his spiritual power had broken through to the Spirit Domain realm.
With the condensation of his Spiritual Spirit Core, his spiritual power naturally broke through to the Spirit Domain realm.
Even during the Douluo 3 period, such a situation was rare.
The prerequisite for breaking through the limit was for one's spiritual power to break through to the Spirit Domain realm, after which one could condense three Spirit Cores. Only then could one bind the two existing cores and condense a third.
That isn't to say that only Spirit Domain realm spiritual power could condense a Spiritual Spirit Core.
Even in Douluo 3, the Spiritual Spirit Core was always condensed last, after all, the higher the spiritual power level, the more solid cohesion it would be.
Who would dare to condense a Spiritual Spirit Core at the two thresholds of level seventy and level ninety?
Therefore, Su Ming's situation was also rare in Douluo 3.
First three Spirit Cores, then the Spirit Domain realm.
It was practically against Tiangang.
Su Ming willed it, and the anomaly disappeared.
He didn't explain to anyone what this spiritual manifestation was.
Anyway, these Spirit Masters didn't understand things like spiritual manifestation.
"Black, Red, Black, Black, Red, Rose Gold, Black-Gold... it doesn't look very coordinated."
Su Ming flew into the First Peak, found a room, and announced he was going into seclusion.
He needed to sort out his abilities properly.
"Level seventy-eight, on par with the Douluo 1 side, one level lower than the Douluo 3 side. The gap between the three bodies is basically leveled."
This was a good thing.
But it also wasn't entirely good.
The two Su Mings living in fantasy worlds had been caught up to by the Douluo 2 Su Ming. That was still a bit embarrassing.
Especially since the Douluo 2 Su Ming's Spirit Power quality was extremely high, making each level increase more difficult.
"The Trinity must be consistently implemented. One A Yin as the thread in the life domain, one Abyss as the thread in the destruction domain. Now, both my Douluo 1 and Douluo 3 selves have obtained A Yin's Spirit Ring, and both my Douluo 2 and Douluo 3 selves have obtained Abyssal Spirit Rings."
Su Ming sat cross-legged on a cushion. He looked down at his right leg.
"Right leg bone. Both my Douluo 1 and Douluo 2 selves fused the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. Only my right leg bone here wasn't fused by A Yin."
After clarifying these two threads, Su Ming's plan became much clearer.
"Next up: for Douluo 1, obtain an Abyssal Spirit Ring; for Douluo 2, kill A Yin."
He glanced at his fifth Spirit Ring.
On the Douluo 2 side, after killing A Yin, he definitely wouldn't occupy an extra Spirit Ring slot. Su Ming planned to use the fifth Spirit Ring to devour A Yin.
This fifth Spirit Ring was provided by the Sun Moon Blue Silver Emperor, that is, the Spirit Soul Blue Silver Emperor.
Logically speaking, since it was already a Fierce Beast and also Su Ming's Spirit Soul, the Spirit Ring it provided should be orange-gold. However, Su Ming had originally repurposed the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Soul for condensing his second Martial Soul, the Body Martial Soul. Therefore, this fifth Spirit Ring was merely red, inheriting the color of a normal Spirit Ring.
Whether by coincidence or not, the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Rings of the Douluo 1 and Douluo 2 Su Mings were both in the fifth Spirit Ring position.
The Abyssal Spirit Rings of the Douluo 2 and Douluo 3 Su Mings were both in the seventh Spirit Ring position.
"Putting aside my obsession with symmetry, purely in terms of the Trinity's effect, having these two threads in the same Spirit Ring positions is very reasonable."
For ordinary Spirit Masters, perhaps already fixed Spirit Rings couldn't be changed, but Su Ming was not an ordinary Spirit Master.
To him, the secrets of Spirit Rings were laid bare.
"For Douluo 1, I need to die once more. After death, I cannot undergo nirvana. I'll take the opportunity to remove Er Ming's seventh Spirit Ring. All of Er Ming's original essence will be given to Little Gold to receive and devour. The remaining empty shell will be filled with the Abyss."
"For Douluo 3, I also need to vacate the fifth Spirit Ring position. The fifth Spirit Ring is currently occupied by Chunqiu. Moving it will be somewhat troublesome."
Su Ming frowned.
This was the part that gave him a headache.
After all, the Douluo 1 and Douluo 2 bodies had pure Spirit Rings. On the Douluo 3 body, aside from the Abyssal Spirit Ring, all seven Spirit Rings were conferred by Spirit Souls. He couldn't just move Chunqiu to the eighth Spirit Ring slot when he reached level eighty, could he?
"Sigh, Light Sphere, oh Light Sphere, I'll have to temporarily wrong you for now."
After much hesitation, Su Ming decided to have the Light Sphere give up one Spirit Ring slot to Chunqiu. The slot to be exchanged was precisely the first Spirit Ring position. Both possessed spacetime attributes.
Making a decision didn't mean success.
The actual implementation wasn't as simple as just talking about it.
"We'll temporarily leave the overall cultivation plan at that. Next is about my own cultivation."
Su Ming looked inward at himself, more precisely, he sensed the three Spirit Cores within him.
"Three Spirit Cores. There's no position for condensing a fourth Spirit Core. Three cores can probably support my cultivation up to the ninety-plus level."
Su Ming raised an eyebrow slightly.
Three Spirit Cores were more resilient than he had imagined. They could at least help him cultivate to level ninety-four.
"After three Spirit Cores, should I condense a fourth, or borrow from Elder Electrolux's Spiritual Aperture cultivation method from his side?"
Su Ming's gaze flickered.
Elder Electrolux's Spiritual Aperture cultivation method from the Holy Demon Continent was a fallback. Su Ming had also been constantly thinking how to cultivate Spirit Power to create similar 'Spirit Apertures.'
But it was precisely during this process that he had a new idea.
A fourth Spirit Core!
The human body had three major Dantians, capable of condensing only three Spirit Cores. But who said Spirit Cores could only be condensed in the Dantian?
"Three major Dantians—in essence, they are three small worlds intimately connected to me. I don't have a fourth small world within my body. But outside my body... there is a vast world..."
