Su Ming admitted he had been startled.
Why was Tang Hao here?
Confirming that Tang Hao was in a coma, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes. Without hesitation, Su Ming directly sent Tang Hao to his liberation.
"It must be very painful to be eroded by the Rakshasa God's faith. I can't bear to see others suffer."
This was the most stingy deity.
Not only did he torment his inheritor, but he also gave nothing.
Of course, before killing Tang Hao, Su Ming studied some interesting things, like where the gap of Rakshasa faith erosion was on Tang Hao...
After sending off Tang Hao, Su Ming looked up at the sky.
Tang Hao should have been within the God of Shura's observation range, right?
That meant his current life was exposed.
Exposure didn't attract the Shura Sword Energy; it seemed the checks and balances in the God Realm had taken form.
"Good, the God of Shura can't make a move now. Otherwise, if a Shura Sword Energy came down, I'd have to bear a double loss."
He would miss out on the benefit of reactivating his Spirit Rings once.
At the same time, Su Ming would also lose more Spirit Power.
That was just too cost-ineffective.
Since his location was exposed, Su Ming could only quickly leave this valley, taking A Yin to find a new place to restart his cultivation.
[Douluo 3]
"Does Tang Hao still have any Shura faith..."
Su Ming entered the pure white space, found the place where Tang Hao was slumbering, and observed the composition of faith on Tang Hao's body.
Without a doubt, there was almost no Shura faith.
However, Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer possessed a Killing God Domain that was almost fused with his Martial Spirit.
"Hmm, it's still there."
He wasn't in a hurry to invade Tang Hao's body with the Rakshasa faith.
This was, after all, a completely new faith. If Tang Hao ended up benefiting from it, the loss would definitely outweigh the gain.
The Evil Spirit Masters of this era were extremely rampant; the Holy Spirit Cult's power even surpassed any single superpower.
Shrek Academy couldn't compare to the Holy Spirit Cult either.
Confirming that Tang Hao indeed still retained the corresponding weakness, Su Ming left this space.
Returning to his real perspective, he continued to comprehend the origins of Destruction and Life.
[Douluo 2]
Half a year had passed since Su Ming obtained the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Spirit Skill, gaining the ability to resurrect, and returned to the Ice Fire Two Eyes.
Over these six months, leveraging his own several resurrections in Douluo 1, he had further perfected his second Martial Spirit.
It could be said that this Martial Spirit was already very perfect, capable of serving as the vessel he idealised.
"It's time to condense the third Martial Spirit."
For the second Martial Spirit, Su Ming used three Evil Spirit Masters' Martial Spirits, used the Blue Silver Emperor, and replicated his past self's Martial Spirit before it finally condensed into form. Now, for condensing the third Martial Spirit, the approach would be somewhat different.
First, this Martial Spirit needed Chaos as a foundation; this was in the form of a Spirit Soul. Secondly were the materials; it was hard to find a formula as good as the Body Sect Martial Spirit.
"The Snow Empress Embryo can solve many requirements, but it also makes the ice attribute, or rather the water attribute, proportion too large. I need to find a way to balance it."
Not only balance it, but also distribute the Snow Empress's power to other elements.
But how to achieve this?
Because of his Ice-Fire Tempered Body, Su Ming had already laid the foundation of ice and fire. This foundation surpassed wind and earth, light and dark, and was already unbalanced. Adding another unbalanced Snow Empress Embryo would only make the elemental control even more uncoordinated.
"Could it be that I have to release the Snow Empress?"
That wouldn't do.
This 700,000 years of cultivation, he couldn't let it go.
After pondering repeatedly, Su Ming decided to ask Electrolux for help.
Elder伊 truly lived up to the name Death God Necromancer Saint. The first answer he gave was about balancing.
"You're still too conservative. For harmonization, it doesn't necessarily have to use spirit beasts. Have you forgotten how you pieced together your second Martial Spirit yourself?"
Su Ming had a sudden realization.
Evil Spirit Masters' Martial Spirits could also be used!
Good grief.
Good grief.
Good grief!
Truly worthy of the Death God Necromancer Saint.
Among the seven major elements of water, fire, earth, wind, light, dark, and space, water could be directly solved using the Snow Empress's ice. Fire, light, and dark could use the Dark Phoenix and Light Phoenix Martial Spirits, and the Holy Spirit Cult had both of these Martial Spirits.
That left earth and wind.
"Zhongli Wu has a Bone Dragon King beast spirit; perhaps it can extract wind and fire power. Of course, this should be a backup option, as it involves dragons, especially since this Bone Dragon King is said to be blessed by the Silver Dragon King."
"As for earth..."
Su Ming quickly ran through the list of Holy Spirit Cult higher-ups in his mind and found none with an earth attribute.
However, after thinking for two and a half minutes, a light finally illuminated Su Ming's path forward.
The Grand Elder!
"Xuan Zi has an earth attribute!"
So, the elements could still be collected fully.
Su Ming instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
The third Martial Spirit was a achievable great undertaking.
With the major future direction secured, Su Ming turned his attention to the present.
The Snow Empress and others were merely external. For Su Ming to condense a Martial Spirit, he first needed the internal foundation himself.
"The external aspect of the Martial Spirit can rely on the Snow Empress and others to enhance the Martial Spirit's numerical values, but the most fundamental logic must be possessed by me. So, I still need to find the origins of light and dark."
Through the Ice-Fire Tempered Body, he had the origins of ice and fire. Then he obtained the earth attribute origin from the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, and simultaneously found a quasi-immortal grass level wind attribute origin on the cliff of the Ice Fire Two Eyes.
Now, only light and dark were missing.
"I need to get out and move around. After such a long time without showing my face on the continent, I wonder if my status as a Sacred Blacksmith still carries weight."
Su Ming stood up and stretched his body.
He was preparing to leave seclusion.
The goal for leaving seclusion this time was clear: to crusade against the Holy Spirit Cult.
Du Busi, learning that Su Ming had left seclusion, came in from outside the valley.
At this moment, his Spirit Power fluctuations were more restrained, much calmer than when he had just broken through.
Using the Emerald Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers sea outside the Ice Fire Two Eyes, his Poison Power had advanced further, keeping pace with his Body Sect's Qi and Blood power.
Following the guidance Su Ming gave, Du Busi was indeed comprehending the direction of Laws, not purely absorbing toxins to enhance his Poison Power.
"The continent's situation is relatively stable now. Because of forging technology, the entire continent is engaged in internal competition in the field of forging; wars aren't as frequent as before."
The two returned to the outside world, made contact with the Body Sect, and generally understood the continent's situation.
"Currently, the fourteen major branches are developing well. Registered blacksmiths number over ten thousand, most are Level One Blacksmiths. There are over a thousand Level Two Blacksmiths. Level Three Forging Masters have begun to emerge explosively in recent months; now all fourteen branches have at least three Forging Masters stationed. The Sun Moon Imperial Capital branch, Gengxin City branch, and Shrek Academy City branch even have double-digit Forging Masters stationed."
"By the way, every branch now has Forging Masters requesting to learn the Spirit Refinement method."
Ever since Su Ming broke through to Sacred Blacksmith and publicly announced the techniques for Spirit Refinement and Soul Refinement to the entire continent, many forces had become interested, trying in various ways to inquire about the effects of the two types of metal.
Su Ming nodded, not surprised by this.
"Regarding the Blacksmith Association, everything should still follow the rules set before. Those who meet the standard can learn Spirit Refinement. Also, what's the current situation with the Holy Spirit Cult?"
