Chapter 114: Spiritual Power Breaks Through to the Spirit Domain Realm, Divine Consciousness Forms Its Own World!
The third part was spiritual power. To condense Yin-Yang Harmony dual soul cores, merely entering the Spirit Domain Realm was still insufficient.
His spiritual power had to reach the peak of the demigod level, which was roughly the mid-stage of the Spirit Domain Realm. Only then would the divine soul become autonomously stable enough to forcibly suppress the eternal repulsive force between the two opposing soul cores.
If his spiritual power was insufficient, it would directly result in the soul cores tearing apart, the meridians being destroyed, and the divine soul collapsing.
Only after completing these three parts could Yun Yuan begin condensing Yin-Yang Harmony dual soul cores. Otherwise, he would not even be qualified to start.
As for each part, Yun Yuan already had preliminary plans in mind.
First was obtaining opposing Yin-Yang origins. Although he possessed only a single martial soul, he could rely on his own power to create a Yin-Yang opposing foundation.
His Atlas Spear martial soul possessed the ultimate attack attribute and belonged to pure Yang. Later on, Yun Yuan could comprehend the power of spatial annihilation.
That way, he could split his soul power into a pure Yang spear-force origin and a pure Yin spatial origin, thereby meeting the prerequisite for condensing Yin-Yang Harmony dual soul cores.
Next came tempering the ultimate physique. With the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Yun Yuan could use immortal herbs to refine pills capable of strengthening the body, and he could also use herbs for medicinal baths. These were all methods capable of rapidly tempering the physique.
Lastly came the enhancement of spiritual power. Besides using herbs to refine pills that strengthened spiritual power, Yun Yuan would also create powerful meditation methods, visualization methods, and compression methods to temper his spiritual sea and divine soul, striving to allow his spiritual power to reach the demigod level as soon as possible, which was around the mid-stage of the Spirit Domain Realm.
After setting his goal, Yun Yuan began working toward it.
His soul power rank had now reached rank seventy-seven, and he had already condensed his first soul core. Therefore, he would no longer spend time on meditation.
Because after condensing a soul core, the soul core within the dantian would eternally rotate on its own. There was no need to meditate or deliberately circulate it. At every moment, it autonomously absorbed wandering soul power between heaven and earth.
Even if Yun Yuan slept every day, the soul power within his body would still slowly regenerate and gradually increase in total amount. It was just that the rate of growth could not compare to that of deliberate meditation.
Of course, this also had a limit. After a soul master reached the Super Douluo level, they needed to comprehend their own martial soul to continue breaking through.
That was why the seven worship elders of Spirit Hall stayed together within Douluo Hall, exchanging ideas to deepen their understanding of their martial souls and accelerate their breakthroughs.
Without wasting time on meditation, Yun Yuan did three things every day.
First, through the spatial attribute of the Atlas Spear, he comprehended the pure Yin power of spatial annihilation.
Second, he refined pills capable of strengthening his physique and took medicinal baths for body tempering every day. The resources consumed in this process were immeasurable.
But Yun Yuan felt it was completely worth it. No matter how many resources there were, they existed to enhance his strength.
Third, through his natural talent and comprehension, he developed powerful meditation, visualization, and compression methods for spiritual power cultivation.
Aside from that, Yun Yuan also used heavenly and earthly spiritual treasures to enhance his spiritual power.
Fortunately, Spirit Hall was powerful enough and its foundation deep enough to continuously search for spiritual treasures capable of slightly increasing spiritual power for Yun Yuan.
As time passed, Yun Yuan's cultivation continued, and he improved bit by bit every day.
While Yun Yuan consumed massive resources to cultivate, Qian Xunji also began feeling troubled. It was not because Yun Yuan consumed too many resources but because Spirit Hall's speed in gathering resources could no longer keep up with Yun Yuan's rate of consumption.
"Your Holiness, the Pope, these are the heavenly and earthly spiritual treasures His Highness the Holy Son requires this month. Please review them."
Within the Pope Palace, Qian Xunji accepted the list of spiritual treasures Yun Yuan had written down.
Looking at the list, Qian Xunji felt as though his head had become twice as large. Every item that came to his sight was a precious spiritual treasure, thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, filling several pages.
Yet he had to gather them for Yun Yuan as quickly as possible. He knew Yun Yuan was preparing to condense Yin-Yang Harmony dual soul cores. As his teacher, how could he hold his disciple back?
From then on, Qian Xunji's workload increased dramatically, and his sleeping time was directly reduced by half.
Three months later.
Due to the autonomous operation of the soul core and the nourishment provided by various heavenly and earthly spiritual treasures, Yun Yuan's soul power directly rose from rank seventy-seven to rank eighty, allowing him to obtain his eighth soul ring.
However, Yun Yuan did not choose to acquire a soul ring. He had long made plans for his eighth soul ring, but this required him to first condense Yin-Yang Harmony dual soul cores.
Moreover, because of rank limitations, the soul power gained through cultivation would be directly stored within his body. Once he obtained a soul ring, it would erupt all at once.
The energy of the eighth soul ring, the energy of soul bones, together with the accumulated soul power within himself, gave Yun Yuan confidence that he could directly leap to rank ninety.
Eight months later.
Above Yun Yuan's palace, the power of heaven and earth was stirred. Supreme spear intent pressure directly swept across the entirety of Spirit City.
Deep within Douluo Hall, Qian Daoliu's cloudy eyes slowly opened, a trace of surprise flashing through them before calming once more.
"So, he finally reached this realm."
A sigh echoed from deep within Douluo Hall. The other six worship elders also slowly opened their eyes, exchanging glances filled with gratification and relief.
At the rear mountain of the Pope's Palace, within Yun Yuan's palace.
"So this is Grandmaster's realm? A realm capable of stirring the power of heaven and earth."
Yun Yuan slowly spoke. After eight months, although he still had not comprehended the power of spatial annihilation through the Atlas Spear, his spear dao realm had broken through the Spear Soul Realm first, becoming the new spear dao supreme of the soul master world. Fate truly toyed with people.
After reaching the Spear Soul Realm, Yun Yuan's combat strength only experienced a minor increase. At the Limit Douluo level, achieving a major improvement was far from simple.
Ten months later.
Yun Yuan could already sense the boundary of spiritual power. At this moment, his spiritual power had reached the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm. He was only one final step away from breaking through to the Spirit Domain Realm.
After two more months.
"It's finally done."
A sigh sounded from within Yun Yuan's palace. Sitting cross-legged, Yun Yuan was using his spiritual power to condense shields, blades, chains, and cages.
This indicates that Yun Yuan's spiritual power had broken through to the Spirit Domain Realm!
The essence of the Spirit Domain Realm was transforming spiritual consciousness into a domain, forming a world of its own. One's divine soul transformed into the source of a domain, allowing vast surrounding space to be assimilated by spiritual power.
Spiritual power transformed from "formless aura" into something tangible and substantial, capable of taking shape, molding objects, and locking space.
Not only that, but spiritual power at the Spirit Domain Realm could also conduct large-scale spiritual scans spanning hundreds of li, ignoring soul power barriers, terrain, illusions, and concealment soul skills. Nothing could hide from it.
In addition, after spiritual power reached the Spirit Domain Realm, soul masters would be capable of absorbing a hundred-thousand-year soul rings and enduring the soul shock of a hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
Having reached this realm, Yun Yuan felt extremely excited and thrilled. But this still was not enough. To condense Yin-Yang Harmony dual soul cores, he needed to become even stronger!
