"I'm really just going through the motions of condensing the Qi Blood Soul Ring," Su Yu said helplessly: "If there's anything different, it's probably that my Seventh Soul Ring is excavating my own origin, condensing from myself, and is a Lifebound Soul Ring."
The concept of a Lifebound Soul Ring, Poison Undying knows what it means, is a concept in Soul Power cultivation, named during the Federation's spread of cultivation knowledge throughout the continent after its unification.
According to Su Yu, it's best to condense just one Lifebound Soul Ring. If you have enough ability, you can excavate nine Soul Rings from yourself in succession, but it's not very meaningful. Excavating just one can fully harness the essence of your Martial Soul, so why bother excavating so many?
And the best position for a Lifebound Soul Ring naturally is the Seventh Soul Ring.
Of course, one could also condense multiple Lifebound Soul Rings. For instance, Su Yu's disciple Bai Feng, whose Martial Soul is the Star Soul Sword, can condense a Lifebound Soul Ring with a spirit attribute, one related to sword skills, one with a star attribute, and even add one of the demon-slaying species.
Certainly, if he has the energy, he can completely integrate these characteristics into one Lifebound Soul Ring, placing this Lifebound Soul Ring seventh.
If achievable, it wouldn't waste Soul Ring slots by condensing too many Lifebound Soul Rings without fully excavating the Martial Soul; instead, it would fully develop everything about the Martial Soul, integrating them.
Moreover, since most power stems from oneself, Su Yu believes it will further refine a Soul Master. If matured, such a Soul Master would undoubtedly be immensely powerful among peers of the same level.
Especially within the Soul Spirit Cultivation System, Soul Masters have the opportunity to enhance the age of Soul Rings. For Lifebound Soul Rings, this means continuous enhancement alongside the excavation of Martial Soul characteristics.
Thus, it might become a pathway for Soul Masters who mature later in life.
...
"Is it really just condensing a Lifebound Soul Ring at the Seventh Qi Blood Soul Ring?" Poison Undying still found it hard to believe.
Although, logically, reaching the Seventh Qi Blood Soul Ring should allow for similar True Form of the Martial Soul abilities, greatly enhancing personal power, it shouldn't be such a drastic improvement, should it?
"If you insist on declaring there's something off about my strength, then it's probably because I have completely integrated the origin of my first six Soul Rings into my bloodline. In other words, my current Qi Blood Power is perfectly unified."
Poison Undying fell into deep thought.
"Of course, there's possibly also the fact that the Bloodline Power from which my rings are condensed is quite advanced."
After all, Su Yu's first six Soul Rings are strictly speaking Divine Soul Rings.
A Level 70 Soul Master possessing seven Divine Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, Yin Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores, enhanced by Super Battle Armor, unleashing forces that crush Quasi-God levels—it's not hard to accept, right?
Thinking this way, Poison Undying realizes that Su Yu indeed hasn't been hiding anything.
Seven Ten-Million-Year Soul Rings...
Just this fact alone is enough to explain everything.
"However, I absorbed the Golden Behemoth bloodline, refined it into a Qi Blood Soul Ring, and integrated it into my Martial Soul Soul Ring..."
Poison Undying contemplated his own situation.
So to speak, the Bloodline Power from Golden Behemoth is also of Divine level.
Yet, my nine Soul Rings haven't reached Divine level...
Poison Undying isn't planning to search for more Bloodline Powers to integrate. He finds the Golden Behemoth quite suitable, strengthening himself with its Bloodline Power, thoroughly refining it into his bloodline, then condensing the Qi Blood Soul Ring into a Lifebound Soul Ring.
This is his future path.
"To fully harness this Bloodline Power, I must further integrate the Three-in-One Soul Ring."
Only then can the essence of the Qi Blood Soul Ring be fully utilized.
Divine Soul Rings!
Poison Undying had previously overlooked this point.
Indeed, Qi Blood Soul Rings are logically Divine, but when fused with Soul Power and Spiritual Power, they haven't produced corresponding effects.
Seeing Poison Undying's thoughtful demeanor, Su Yu also felt a bit surprised.
"Could Poison Undying be a person favored by fortune?"
Under the golden era, with fortuitous figures like Huo Yuhao, other Soul Masters with great fortunes were swept up in the wave of Douluo Continent's unification and massive development era, showing extraordinary potential, what Su Yu called fortune-favored.
It's simply having an area of expertise which, propelled by fortune, continues to develop smoothly and strongly.
Kuang Tie's forging technique, Xuan Ziweng's Soul-guiding Device development, even Poison Undying's Qi Blood cultivation...
Poison Undying gained inspiration, while Su Yu didn't mind and prepared to continue seclusion for a while.
"My Soul Power is still somewhat short; I must quickly attain Level 99 to exploit the Devouring Abyss while breaking through to Divine level."
Su Yu also prepared to embrace this important moment, leveraging the energy from the abyss being devoured to directly achieve divinity, condense a Divine Position, then ascend to the Divine Realm.
"Two Qi Blood Soul Rings still remain—this isn't crucial. What's important is that I haven't started condensing the Spiritual Power Soul Rings."
Up till now, the genuine proof of Spiritual Power Soul Rings exists only in Poison Undying, his Three-in-One Soul Ring containing Qi Blood and Spiritual Power, with both forces fully awakened and imprinting characteristics of the Qi Blood Soul Ring and Spirit Soul Ring.
"Do I need to condense nine Spirit Soul Rings from scratch?" Su Yu pondered.
