Chapter 104: The "Essence, Qi, and Spirit" Three Soul Core Method, Condensing the First Soul Core!
"Zhen'er, to be honest, even if I were not seriously injured, I am no longer a match for Qian Daoliu. On the path of Limit Douluo, he has already taken one step further than me."
"This time, I will retreat into seclusion. First, I want to do as Qian Daoliu did, let go of everything to see whether my strength can improve further."
"Second, I want to quietly recover from my injuries so that five years later, I can kill Yun Yuan in my peak condition!"
At this point, Tang Chen glanced at Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, his eyes carrying both kindness and firmness. "That way, no one will be able to suppress you to the point you can't breathe."
Among all, Tang Chen was the most excited about this five-year agreement. He had long wanted Yun Yuan to fall prematurely so he would not block the paths of his two grandsons.
However, constrained by the power of Spirit Hall and his own status as a Limit Douluo, it was not convenient for him to act against Yun Yuan.
But now that Yun Yuan had taken the initiative, and his strength had already reached a certain level, Tang Chen naturally would not miss this opportunity. Five years later, he would use the Clear Sky Hammer to kill Yun Yuan and completely eliminate this genius of Spirit Hall.
"Father, since that is the case, focus on your seclusion. Leave the sect's affairs to me."
After understanding Tang Chen's thoughts, Tang Zhen spoke solemnly.
The next day, news of the alchemy system and the five-year agreement spread across the Douluo Continent like a swarm of locusts.
Ordinary civilians were not concerned about the five-year agreement, as they did not even know what the Limit Douluo realm was.
But they knew that the pills mentioned by Spirit Hall could heal illnesses and injuries and even prolong life. To them, that was what truly mattered.
Moreover, the name Yun Yuan was firmly etched into their minds. They knew it was the Spirit Hall Holy Son, Yun Yuan, who had created many useful pills for them.
In the future, these pills would appear in Spirit Hall. With just some money, even commoners like them could obtain them there.
These pills that could cure diseases and extend life were no longer exclusive to nobles and soul masters.
However, the Soul Master World was thrown into an uproar. The Spirit Hall Holy Son, challenging the mountain-like figure of the soul master world, the Clear Sky Douluo, five years later, left them unable to calm down for a long time.
They were especially curious about what the result would be in five years.
However, the vast majority of soul masters still favored Tang Chen, the peak of the soul master world. They believed Yun Yuan, this unparalleled genius, was too arrogant, thinking he could challenge the strongest existence in the soul master world.
But Yun Yuan knew nothing of this. Even if he did, he would not care. Whatever the outcome, it would naturally be revealed in five years.
At present, aside from spending time teaching Ye Zhiyun and Yang Lie alchemy, he also devoted part of his time to planning for the future, as this involved important faith power and could not be taken lightly.
In addition, Yun Yuan divided his cultivation time into three parts. One part was meditation to increase his soul power level. Another part was comprehending the spear dao and striving to step into the fourth realm—the Spear Soul realm.
As for the final part, Yun Yuan used it to study the condensation of the first soul core. After reaching the Soul Emperor level, Yun Yuan discovered that with the quality of his soul power and his spiritual power level, he could already attempt to condense his first soul core.
Thus, in his daily routine, he would occasionally go to the Douluo Hall to discuss the details of condensing the first soul core with Qian Daoliu.
Not only that, but Yun Yuan also began, with his astonishing comprehension, to think of a stronger method of condensing soul cores based on the existing approach.
After a full month of contemplation, Yun Yuan finally began attempting to condense his first soul core.
In the Douluo Hall, Yun Yuan appeared, while the seven worship elders, including Qian Daoliu, watched from the side.
If anything unexpected happened, with Qian Daoliu's strength and his understanding of condensing the first soul core, he could ensure Yun Yuan's safety.
"Xiao Yuan, your grandmaster has prepared many trump cards for you. The final one is angel divine power. You need not worry about any backlash."
To boost Yun Yuan's confidence, Qian Daoliu revealed the final trump card beforehand, allowing him to act without hesitation.
"Angel divine power? Grandmaster, you really give people a full sense of security."
Seeing that Qian Daoliu had prepared such a trump card, Yun Yuan felt a sense of relief and no longer had any fear.
His goal was to condense three soul cores—respectively at the upper dantian between the eyebrows, the middle dantian near the chest, and the lower dantian near the lower abdomen.
Moreover, Yun Yuan's martial soul was the Atlas Spear, and he had no elemental attribute, so there was no need to consider condensing elemental soul cores.
Three soul cores, three dantians. Yun Yuan's idea was to condense the three great soul cores of "essence, qi, and spirit."
For the first soul core, Yun Yuan chose to condense the "spirit," located at the upper dantian.
For the second, it would be "qi," and the third would be "essence."
Spirit is the master of the soul, qi is the pivot of the body, and essence is the foundation of life.
Essence is stored in the lower dantian, forming the basis of the physical body, the source of vitality and blood, and the foundation of life, bearing the body's endurance and resilience.
Qi is stored in the middle dantian, acting as the hub of soul power circulation, the channel that draws in and harmonizes the soul power of heaven and earth, and the foundation of martial soul operation—governing the flow of soul power throughout the body.
Spirit is stored in the upper dantian between the eyebrows, forming the origin of the soul and spiritual will, commanding essence and qi, and governing the mind, soul power control, martial soul spirituality, spiritual pressure, and the foundation of the soul.
Once the three great soul cores were condensed, essence, qi, and spirit would unite as one. At that point, Yun Yuan himself would become a small world.
With his grandmaster, Qian Daoliu, protecting him, Yun Yuan quickly sat cross-legged and entered meditation, immersing his entire being in his spiritual sea.
Now, his spiritual power had already reached the Titled Douluo level, corresponding to the classification that would only appear twenty thousand years later—the Spirit Abyss Realm!
With such terrifying spiritual power, condensing the first soul core was not particularly difficult for Yun Yuan.
Next, he began to circulate his vast spiritual power, gradually compressing and refining the liquid spiritual power in his spiritual sea.
Gradually, this spiritual power condensed into a black hole-like embryonic form. The violent backlash of spiritual power continuously impacted Yun Yuan's consciousness, causing cold sweat to appear on his forehead and slight fluctuations in his aura.
Qian Daoliu, who was protecting him, saw this scene and clenched his fists slightly, unable to suppress his concern.
Using the body of a Soul Emperor to condense a first soul core that only a Titled Douluo could condense was itself an extremely dangerous matter.
However, soon, Yun Yuan's aura stabilized again, demonstrating his precise control over his spiritual power.
As time passed, Yun Yuan's spiritual power vortex spun wildly, continuously collapsing and condensing. The surrounding space began to ripple with fine spiritual fluctuations, and the energy of heaven and earth gathered toward his body.
After a long time, a soul core—pure white and flowing with a gentle golden glow—slowly floated within the depths of his spiritual sea at the upper dantian between his eyebrows.
The core was covered with fine spiritual patterns, emitting a vast yet stable spiritual aura. Yun Yuan felt his spiritual power undergo another sublimation.
The first spiritual soul core had been perfectly condensed!
