Each Dantian is actually a singular space created by the meridians within the human body. Every Spirit Master naturally possesses three major Dantians, and thus three different spaces.
Cultivating these different spaces is essentially equivalent to cultivating small worlds, closely connected to the Spirit Master's body. The upper Dantian relates to the Spirit, the lower Dantian relates to the Essence, and the middle Dantian relates to Energy.
Three Dantians, three Spirit Cores—this is already the human body's limit. Since no new Dantians can be found within the body, one can only follow the Spiritual Aperture cultivation method, opening up Spirit Apertures—special nodes within the meridians capable of accommodating more Spirit Power.
The success rate is not small.
But no matter how many Spirit Apertures are condensed, it's essentially the same approach with different packaging.
Each Dantian can connect with the Spirit Power in all of Su Ming's meridians. Every strand of Spirit Power must undergo the quenching chain of the three Dantians' Spirit Cores and be propelled by them to circulate within the body, maintaining fluidity.
Spirit Apertures are different. Although all Spirit Power flows through them, they lack a pumping effect like a water pump.
Perhaps Spirit Apertures could delay the solidification of Su Ming's Spirit Power, but not by much. In the future, to solve this problem, he wouldn't even know how many Spirit Apertures he would need to condense.
In short, Su Ming disliked trouble.
"The inner world has already been developed. Now it's time to start developing the external world."
Around Su Ming, the Domain of Chaos was quietly released, only maintained within a ten-meter radius around him.
All his Spirit Power emerged from his body, beginning to build the so-called external world outside.
Using the Domain of Chaos as a foundation and his Spirit Power as ink, he outlined a world of his own.
This external world would be the fourth Spirit Core!
The three internal Spirit Cores and the fourth Spirit Core of the external world would support each other, thereby maintaining the stability of the external world.
What did this mean?
"As long as I can establish this external world, my Spirit Power problem will be solved."
"Moreover, I can cultivate both the external world and the Spirit Apertures simultaneously. I can also use the Spirit Apertures to stabilize the external world's construction."
If he only had to choose one of the two methods, Su Ming would choose the external world. But he obviously wasn't someone who shied away from trouble.
If both were feasible, he didn't mind cultivating them at the same time.
After all, with Tang San above his head, Su Ming had plenty of patience.
He definitely couldn't miss out on cultivation methods that could make him stronger.
"But even though I've condensed three Spirit Cores, I still have no clue how to build this external world."
The idea was clear, but when it came to actual implementation, he was at a loss at every step.
Previously, Su Ming thought it was because he didn't have enough Spirit Cores to support the existence of a domain.
Now it seemed that wasn't the case.
"I'll start by sorting out the three Spirit Cores first. Perhaps when the operation of the three cores becomes more refined, it will help condense the external world."
As for how to sort out the Spirit Cores, Su Ming actually already had ideas and had made a decision.
For him, the Trinity was the foundation, so all cultivation should have this as its fundamental goal.
Essence, Energy, and Spirit were the most perfect combination of three Spirit Cores for him.
That being the case, Su Ming didn't hesitate. He sat cross-legged and directly entered cultivation.
He was completely immersed in training. His Douluo 1 and Douluo 3 main bodies each allocated part of their focus to help the Douluo 2 body monitor the external situation, avoiding any major accidents on the battlefield.
[Douluo 1]
"This Abyssal Sage King is really patient."
After the Asura God was sealed, Su Ming had remained at the former site of Slaughter City, responsible for suppressing the Abyssal channel.
In this era, there was no war, only the blatant intervention of the deities.
The Abyssal Sage King seemed to have forgotten about the Crimson Domain's backing. He could only sit and wait for death. The only rebellion he could make was to wait for the Law Fusion to complete, descend upon Douluo Star with his main body, completely devour it, and then directly confront the God Realm.
It could only be said that the Abyssal Sage King of each era made decisions suited to that era.
One was recklessly arrogant, unaware of the vastness of heaven and earth. The other was extremely cautious, only striking twice after two months of enticement, and always hesitant to dispatch his Abyssal Monarchs. One was fully confident, instead trying to slowly boil Douluo Star like a frog in warm water, probing for the God Realm's contingency plans on Douluo Star.
"Little Gold."
Su Ming called over Little Gold, who had been diligently forging nearby.
Over the past few months, Little Gold had stayed outside, forging almost non-stop, with an attitude of not resting until he achieved Heaven Refinement.
Su Ming was, of course, happy to see this. It was good that his Spirit Soul was willing to progress.
Receiving Su Ming's summons, Little Gold trotted over happily.
As he ran, he didn't forget to shrink his size, tossing his forging hammer back onto the forging platform as he went.
During this time, he had upgraded all his forging tools. The forging platform and hammer were completely remade, matching his main body's size.
Such a large forging platform and hammer consumed enough rare metals to build at least five mechas.
Of course, Little Gold had money.
Not that Su Ming had money; Little Gold genuinely had money. When he had been working as a beast of burden, Su Ming hadn't withheld his wages.
Su Ming simply exploited Little Gold for work; he wouldn't shortchange him on Gold Spirit Coins.
The truth was, Su Ming didn't lack Gold Spirit Coins either, so there was no need to withhold the coins Little Gold earned from his hard forging.
Looking at Little Gold standing before him—a head shorter, with a silly appearance, his body covered in pitch-black fur occasionally flashing with golden patterns—Su Ming said, "Do you dare to die again?"
Su Ming's words made Little Gold pause.
Then he understood what Su Ming meant by 'die'—it was that state of deep slumber.
He nodded vigorously, even revealing a look of anticipation.
Seeing this, Su Ming was also surprised.
"You enjoy that feeling?"
Little Gold opened his mouth to explain: "No, I want to use the opportunity to experience it again. I want to use that feeling for forging."
Su Ming's eyes showed a hint of doubt.
Experiencing the state of Nirvana, then applying it to forging?
Little Gold was quite resourceful.
Nirvana Revival was also an opportunity for Spirit Metal. Using it to compensate for deficiencies in forging techniques was feasible.
He silently noted Little Gold's idea, planning to try it himself later.
"When should I die?"
Little Gold was quite enthusiastic.
He still hadn't achieved Heaven Refinement and was getting a bit anxious.
Su Ming raised his chin slightly.
Little Gold turned his head, following the direction of Su Ming's raised chin, and saw the entrance to the Abyssal channel. He immediately understood.
"Go in, self-destruct, and then revive?"
"Yes. This time I won't use the nirvana method. And you need to revive on your own..."
Su Ming explained the situation to Little Gold in detail.
Hearing that he would be annexed Su Ming's Titan Giant Ape Spirit Ring, Little Gold didn't show much surprise.
He also thought Su Ming's seventh Spirit Ring was redundant.
He, Little Gold, already possessed all the abilities of the Titan Giant Ape, and surpassed them.
Especially since the Titan Giant Ape's age was also low.
"Since you, Little Gold, have no objections, let's go die."
Su Ming said calmly.
"Let's go!"
Little Gold was eager to try, transforming into a streak of light and returning to Su Ming's body.
God Realm.
The God of Destruction noticed Su Ming's movements and immediately focused his attention.
The gods of the God Realm had united sealed the Asura God, all for Su Ming. Of course, they were paying attention to his every move.
"What is he going to do?"
