—------------------—
Mu En thought for a long time and slowly exhaled.
"Contact Daming and Erming, and ask them to come to Shrek. If we can contact Tang Zhen, ask him to come to Shrek as well. Only if we unite can we fight against the Sun Moon and Samsara Empires. As for Xingluo, let them continue to delay the progress of Sun Moon and Samsara. I need time."
Mrs. Song expressed her doubts.
Shouldn't Xingluo retain its manpower?
"Shaozhe, go to the Mingdou Mountains to help the Xingluo Empire, and try to get the Holy Spirit Church to help. They should hate the Sun-Moon Empire more than the Xingluo Empire right now, so the Holy Spirit Church can also be a help at this time."
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Maybe they are not necessarily true friends, but at least they can play the role of friends to a certain extent.
"Xuan Zi, you, Duo Duo and Lin Er go together to support the Xing Luo Empire."
Mu En's expression was heavy as he scanned the faces of these people. He then looked at Old Song and then at Old Lin.
"I need time, at least half a year, I need to condense the third soul core!"
As he finished speaking, silence fell in Sea God Pavilion.
Xuan Zi's eyes widened. When he heard Mu En's goal, he suddenly felt that everything was a little mysterious.
Everyone else had the same expression.
Condensing the third soul core?
Is this really a realm that soul masters can reach?
Mu En said: "I am at least 50% sure that I can successfully condense the third soul core within half a year, so I must seize this half year."
The ministers present suddenly seemed to have found a backbone.
Three soul cores!
An Extreme Douluo with two soul cores is the best in the world. If he has three soul cores, wouldn't he be invincible?
Mu En looked at the expressions of the elders and knew what they were thinking.
However, his own heart was filled with bitterness.
Three soul cores, either from the perspective of pure soul power, break through the limit of level ninety-nine and reach the true level one hundred, and have the opportunity to obtain the tenth soul ring.
Or, just expand in the realm of Extreme Douluo, possess power close to that of God, and reach the level of Emperor Tian.
The former is fine, but if it is the latter, then he still has no advantage in front of Chen Ming.
The greatest significance of the three soul cores is to buy time and opportunities for Shrek.
Deep in the evil forest.
A huge altar was in operation, with grey air currents outlining complex seals and merging into the bodies of three people in the middle, one man and two women.
The man is Huo Yuhao, and the women are Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao.
Their spirit rings all appeared at this moment.
If there were any soul masters from outside this place, they would definitely be extremely shocked, because the soul rings of the three boys and girls all started out as black!
Huo Yuhao's three soul rings are all black!
The same goes for Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao's spirit rings. Their first four spirit rings also turned black. Tang Ya had seven spirit rings, all of which were black, and Ma Xiaotao had eight spirit rings. The eighth spirit ring was a hundred thousand year spirit ring that flashed an eerie blood-red light!
As the gray energy merged into the bodies of the three people, Huo Yuhao's changes were the most obvious. His soul power increased rapidly, as if there was no bottleneck, jumping over six levels to reach level 40!
However, there is still a large amount of energy hidden in his body, which seems to be revealed only after he obtains the fourth soul ring.
Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao also improved their soul power to a certain extent.
Finally, all the ceremonies were over, the three people left the altar, and were replaced by a group of evil soul masters with high levels of soul power.
Long Xiaoyao called Huo Yuhao to his side alone and gave him instructions.
"Yuhao, the situation of the Holy Spirit Church is not good right now. There may be crises in the future. You have a lot of luck. Don't worry about me and your teacher when the time comes. The most important thing is to save your own life."
Huo Yuhao's eyes trembled. He looked at Long Xiaoyao and moved his lips, wanting to say that he wanted to stay.
However, thinking that there was no normal person in the Holy Spirit Church except his teacher and Long Xiaoyao, and all of them were evil soul masters stained with blood, he still couldn't say the words of living and dying together with the Holy Spirit Church.
"Yuhao, you are the bird in the cage. Now we have opened the cage for you. I hope you won't fly back." Long Xiaoyao warned.
Huo Yuhao nodded.
He now hates Sea God to the core, so how could he possibly return to Sea God's camp?
Long Xiaoyao sighed secretly.
He continued to explain to Huo Yuhao, "Mu En has already paved a way out for you. Now you have obtained everything you deserve in the Holy Spirit Church. Find a time to leave the Holy Spirit Church and go to the Body Sect. It's good that the Samsara Empire has opened up three provinces behind the Sun and Moon, so you don't have to cross the front battlefield."
"No matter what your past is, the Body Sect will accept you. You have only one mission, to survive with the inheritance of the three of us, and..." Long Xiaoyao paused, and said those two words with hope: "Become a god!"
"Mu En and I are also working hard, but if we fall in the end, Yuhao, you must lead our will to break through that limit."
Huo Yuhao nodded vigorously.
He swore, "I, Huo Yuhao, swear that I will do everything in my life to become a god!"
Long Xiaoyao smiled with satisfaction.
"Well, Mu En has one last thing to tell you. That is, if he is dead after you become a god, you should go to the Sea God Pavilion, take out his soul, and bring it to the God Realm. Even if you only take a look at the God Realm, he will be satisfied."
Huo Yuhao agreed.
"Well, you go back and rest first. I'll take you to Nanyuan Province via the Demonic Forest in two days. Although the Sun and Moon Army has blocked the border of the Samsara Empire, they haven't blocked the part bordering the Samsara Empire and the Demonic Forest."
Watching Huo Yuhao leave, a hint of relief flashed in Long Xiaoyao's eyes.
A woman's voice came from behind him.
"You two, you keep scheming and scheming, even taking the successor into account. Don't you feel tired?"
Ye Xishui walked out from behind with a cold face. She stared at Long Xiaoyao and was very dissatisfied with what Long Xiaoyao had done.
Long Xiaoyao accompanied Mu En and disappeared for a year, and then made so many arrangements for Huo Yuhao. She saw it all, and although she did not stop it, she was very dissatisfied.
Long Xiaoyao said helplessly: "This is not a calculation. Both Mu En and I have taught him our best skills. As for our arrangement for him, it is just an insurance policy."
Ye Xishui snorted coldly.
"A bird in a cage may not be willing to fly out. We just left him a spare key."
Long Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and said, "It would be fine if Mu En becomes a god. If he cannot become a god, he will follow the Shrek tradition and merge his soul into the ancient golden tree. Huo Yuhao will go to the ancient golden tree to guide his soul and find out everything."
A trigger would allow Huo Yuhao to escape from that man's control again without any psychological burden.
Ye Xishui's expression eased a lot.
Is that so?
"It means that the ancient golden tree is not a place for storing souls, but a place for burial."
"I guess so. Mu En thinks so."
Chen Ming has already disappeared behind the scenes.
At this moment, he was quietly watching the situation on the mainland.
"This great struggle, the collision of fortunes, the emergence of outstanding talents, this is the best era, Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, who else?" Chen Ming sat and watched the situation, commenting: "An old man like me will not participate. I will be behind the scenes, practicing peacefully, and wait until the end to reap everything."
Luck, luck, keep rolling and bring out bigger waves.
Beep beep.
The communication soul guide sounded, Chen Ming glanced at it and his eyes fixed.
It's news from Xue Di.
Chen Ming hasn't contacted them for a long time since he told Tianmeng to save his life.
Now that Xue Di took the initiative to contact him, Chen Ming's first reaction was that something had happened to Tian Meng.
In fact, it was indeed Tianmeng that had problems.
"He never woke up."
Chen Ming looked at Xue Di's message and fell into silence.
Sleep or Dead?
"What exactly happened?" Chen Ming asked.
After a long communication, Chen Ming learned the whole process from Xue Di.
Tian Meng relied on Snow Empress's relationship to go to the Sea Princess' clan, where he practiced peacefully for a while, and then became addicted to it. He even thought of trying to let the Sea Princess sing for him to improve his sleep quality and thus increase his practice speed!
Chen Ming was speechless when he heard this.
The cultivation of Tian Meng is truly enjoyable.
But therein lies the problem. He has enjoyed himself too much and is now trapped in a dream, unable to extricate himself. He has not woken up for three months. During this period, his soul power has broken through twice, but neither of them could awaken him.
"Give him some time and wait for him to wake up naturally."
Chen Ming had no other choice.
This is Tianmeng himself falling into a deep sleep.
Moreover, if Tianmeng can wake up, this experience will probably be no less than a deep meditation, and the benefits it brings will be enormous.
Next, Xue Di told Chen Ming that her cultivation needed to enter the next stage.
"Is the third spirit ring ready as well?"
Chen Ming was quite surprised.
When the Xue Di was transforming his soul, all his cultivation was stripped away by him, which was considered the first soul ring. Afterwards, he recovered his cultivation and prepared a soul ring for Tian Meng. Now the third soul ring is also ready.
"As expected of the Xue Di, your cultivation has recovered so smoothly."
Chen Ming thought for a long time and told Xue Di that he would find a way to help her build a soul ring storage device with a piece of Ice Divine Crystal as the core.
"When offering sacrifice, use the Ice Crystal as the target and try to see if you can integrate the spirit ring into the Ice Crystal."
This was an attempt on his part.
Can the way of the soul further get rid of the dependence on the soul master and choose to give its own soul ring to inanimate objects?
Xue Di didn't question him and was very happy to try.
The continent of reincarnation.
Chen Ming found Xuan Ziwen and listed his needs to him.
"Storage soul ring? Fusion soul ring?"
Xuan Ziwen looked embarrassed.
It is relatively simple to collect and preserve the soul rings emitted by dead soul beasts, but it is simply a fantasy to integrate the soul rings into dead objects in one's soul power storage device.
Chen Ming said: "Don't worry, your task is just to add a part of the magic array that can create an environment suitable for fusion into the core magic array. The rest is a matter of cultivation method, not a matter of soul guide."
Xuan Ziwen hesitated for a long time and agreed to Chen Ming.
"I'll try my best, but I need to devote myself to this task during this period of time. I can't continue to make level nine soul guide shells."
"no problem."
Chen Ming waved his hand and relieved Xuan Ziwen of his tasks for the time being.
The eighth-level soul masters who were captured from Mingde Hall have made breakthroughs one after another during this period, and there are already three ninth-level soul masters.
All this is thanks to the sea soul beast.
These soul masters had originally stopped at level 89, because they had taken too many drugs before, which caused their potential to be severely overdrawn and they had lost all their potential.
However, one hundred thousand year soul bones are enough to replenish them and stimulate them to break through.
Chen Ming asked Su Su to observe them secretly, and use some spiritual skills to brainwash them from time to time to strengthen their sense of belonging.
In this way, the two most trustworthy ones were selected and helped to break through level 90.
After breaking through the ninetieth level, relying on their years of accumulation in Mingde Hall, the two of them also successfully advanced and created the ninth-level soul guide shells. Compared with the ninth-level soul guides of the Sun and Moon Empire, they just haven't developed their own ninth-level soul guides.
For Chen Ming, if they can produce a certain amount of ninth-level soul guide shells on time, they are already ninth-level soul guides.
Xuan Ziwen's soul guide research is pioneering, and Chen Ming didn't intend to let him waste his energy on making ninth-level soul guide shells. Instead, he hoped that this guy would research something new.
"By the way, the soul bone armor project that you asked us to study last time is now at a critical stage. If I withdraw temporarily, it may affect the progress." Xuan Ziwen said.
Chen Ming waved his hand to indicate that it was no problem.
"I can take your place during this time."
Xuan Ziwen showed a suspicious look.
His eyes seemed to say, "You? Can you do it?"
Chen Ming didn't argue with him and didn't explain.
The soul-guided plane took him two lifetimes to research. Although most of the technology could be accomplished by soul engineers of level seven or even lower levels, the entire project definitely exceeded the capabilities of a single level nine soul engineer.
As for Chen Ming himself, he had cultivated his soul power to the Titled Douluo level in those two lives. In addition, he had handled such a complex project, so his understanding of soul guides naturally reached the ninth level. He also had plenty of practice and had manufactured ninth-level soul guides.
It's just that he doesn't have time to research his own soul guide.
Samsara Tower.
Research Institute.
Chen Ming looked at the three huge machines with a curious expression.
Is this how soul bone armor is researched?
I have to say, it's very reasonable.
Modeled after the human body, soul guides were created for six corresponding parts of the body, and the soul bones were stimulated in turn to observe the reactions between the soul bones.
"Your Majesty, why did you come here in person?" Wang Tianba asked in surprise.
Among the two ninth-level soul masters, Wang Tian occupied one.
There was no other reason. Chen Ming brought Wang Tianba's family to Nanyuan Province.
Now Wang Tianba has sworn allegiance to the Samsara Empire and even opened the sea of spirituality to allow Susu to use hypnosis soul skills.
It's not hypnosis from scratch, but he already believes it, and even if Su Su hypnotizes him again, it will not work.
He passed that test, received investment from Chen Ming, and became a Titled Douluo.
The amount of rare metals he consumed in Mingde Hall was indeed exaggerated, but his foundation was also very strong. After his soul power broke through, he directly advanced to the ninth level.
Chen Ming nodded and walked to one of the machines.
"Xuan Ziwen has other tasks recently, so I will take his place to conduct the research on soul bone armor during this period."
