A momentary resonance caused Su Ming to feel a sense of trance.
He knew that his attempt to condense a Spirit Core this time had been successful.
"Besides Spirit Souls, there are also Spirit Cores. This is another way to deepen the connection between my three bodies."
Three Spirit Cores, resonating with each other!
Currently, only one pair of Spirit Cores was resonating, hence it only lasted for an instant.
As his number of Spirit Cores increased to two, or even three, perhaps this resonance could be stabilized.
Life vitality transformed into a vortex, pouring into Su Ming's body.
Just like that, his Spirit Power at the 59th rank also broke through in an instant.
The Primordial Chaos Immortal Herb transformed into a Spirit Soul, merging into Su Ming's Sea of Consciousness. Simultaneously, a blood-red Spirit Ring also settled around Su Ming.
Purple, Purple, Purple, Black, Red, Red!
When the six Spirit Rings emerged, pulsating up and down, Su Ming also opened his eyes and stood up. His mental power burst forth, swirling around his body as elements of various colors gathered around him.
Even the Pavilion Elders, standing at the pinnacle of the continent, were momentarily stunned.
They might not be considered the absolute top tier, but they were still among the uppermost echelon of Spirit Masters on the continent.
Su Ming's Spirit Ring configuration could be matched by very few, even among Limit Douluos.
And for those Limit Douluos to elevate their first six Spirit Rings to Su Ming's level, it was almost always achieved through gradual accumulation over time. Nothing like Su Ming, who, just having reached the Spirit Emperor level, already possessed such a configuration.
"He directly bore a 100,000-year Spirit Soul, and two of them at that."
Feng Wuyu gave a wry smile.
What did this mean?
The pupils of all the Pavilion Elders present contracted sharply.
Even with a sacrifice, the Spirit Soul's origin ultimately had to be borne by the Spirit Master. The pressure this placed on the Spirit Master was conceivable.
Su Ming indeed mastered the Spirit Fusion Method, but could the Spirit Fusion Method allow a Spirit Master at the Spirit Abyss realm to fuse with two 100,000-year Spirit Souls?
Su Ming heard Feng Wuyu's sigh but didn't explain.
He truly wasn't at the Spirit Domain realm yet.
It had been nearly two years since he broke through to the Spirit Abyss realm. Su Ming himself had already raised his mental power to over ten thousand. Under the sacrifice of the Gaze-Through-Autumn-Waters Dew, his Spirit Power increase was as high as six ranks, and the boost to his mental power, its specialty, was even more exaggerated, directly pushing Su Ming's mental power value close to twenty thousand.
With the additional sacrifice of the Primordial Chaos Immortal Herb, and the fusion of two 100,000-year Spirit Souls, Su Ming's mental power was stimulated, and its value had already crossed the threshold of the Spirit Domain realm.
But did this count as the Spirit Domain realm?
Actually, it did not.
The Spirit Domain realm also had a broad sense and a narrow sense. Broadly speaking, it naturally meant a mental power value of 20,001. The narrow sense, however, started from its definition. Spirit Domain, Spirit Domain – the 'Domain' was key, meaning the Spiritual Domain.
The hallmark of Spirit Domain realm mental power was the Mental Domain, which was the most essential talent of each Spirit Master, excavating the characteristics of the Spirit Master's soul.
Su Ming's value had just reached twenty thousand; he hadn't yet constructed his own Mental Domain, so of course, he didn't count as being in the Spirit Domain realm.
"Sigh, it's better not to share these thoughts with these Pavilion Elders. They are old and might not understand my pursuit."
If he stayed content with superficial achievements, Su Ming could just show off everywhere, proclaiming his titles as a thirteen-year-old Sacred Blacksmith and a fourteen-year-old Spirit Emperor.
The essence of pursuing the Spirit Domain realm was pursuing that Mental Domain, not its title.
"Yes, that's how it is."
Su Ming thought to himself.
"Something is still missing now."
Su Ming raised his head.
Breaking through within the Sea God Pavilion this time, his gains were by no means small.
The Gaze-Through-Autumn-Waters Dew plus the Primordial Chaos Immortal Herb – the sacrifice of two Immortal Herbs caused his Spirit Power to leap twelve ranks, from the 49th rank to the 61st rank. Of course, this wasn't solely the effect of the Immortal Herbs; at least three of those ranks were gifts from the Golden Ancient Tree.
But it still wasn't enough.
He chose to break through in the Sea God Pavilion; how could it possibly be just for a measly three ranks of Spirit Power?
"A Yin, aren't you going to hand it over yet?"
Su Ming's gaze was profound. Within the Golden Ancient Tree, he looked up at this core of the plane, as if seeing through its essence and spotting A Yin located within its origin.
A Yin hesitated.
Su Ming was the Son of the Plane, and even possessed the destiny of a Child of Fortune.
Should she give Su Ming a push at this moment?
Without a doubt, if she could bind herself to Su Ming, then when Su Ming grew stronger in the future, her own devouring of the Golden Ancient Tree would undoubtedly proceed much more smoothly.
While A Yin was tangled, a familiar power erupted from Su Ming's body – it was –
"Sea God Divine Power!"
A Yin was stunned.
She stared in astonishment at Su Ming below.
Why was there Sea God Divine Power within him?
Outer Court.
Tang Wulin was meditating in his dormitory.
Within his body, in a dark space, Old Tang was jolted awake.
"The Sea God descends?"
Without alerting Tang Wulin, he perceived the outside world and then detected the direction from which the Sea God faith had been activated.
"That's the Sea God Pavilion. Someone in the Sea God Pavilion triggered the Sea God faith, causing the Sea God to descend?"
But, the Sea God wasn't here.
So, this was activating the faith power itself, allowing the faith to evolve the aura belonging to the Sea God on its own?
How could that be?
"Crap!"
Old Tang's expression changed dramatically.
"Having lost control over the Douluo Continent for too long, even the faith power has been stolen!"
Who could steal the Sea God's faith?
And by what right?
Old Tang sucked in a cold breath.
The Vast Sea Cosmic Crest!
For the Ten-Thousand-Year Plan, his main self had left the Vast Sea Cosmic Crest in the Sea God Pavilion as its treasure.
That was the Sea God's Heart!
During Tang San's inheritance of the Sea God position, the Vast Sea Cosmic Crest was the most crucial link.
If the God Realm existed, of course, this Vast Sea Cosmic Crest couldn't possibly steal the Sea God's faith. But now, the Douluo Plane had been脱离 the control of the Douluo God Realm for too long. Perhaps the Vast Sea Cosmic Crest...
"That Yali carries the aura of faith. Her Martial Spirit can borrow faith. Has this generation of Shrek already gone bad?"
Old Tang's face was grim.
He didn't immediately reveal himself to compare authenticity with Su Ming.
Because he was apprehensive.
He didn't know the specifics of what was happening inside the Sea God Pavilion.
Moreover, with the Sea God faith activated, triggering a divine descent, Old Tang couldn't perceive the specific scene remotely.
"Their control over the faith has reached a level where I cannot even spy! Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't make contact with the outside world before."
If the higher-ups of Shrek Academy were truly researching the Sea God's faith, could they still be trusted?
Triggering the Sea God's descent but preventing the Sea God from perceiving, even intentionally shielding this perception – they definitely had ulterior motives!
Old Tang held back.
"Wulin's body only has the power for me to act three times. All three opportunities must be used on Wulin himself. Otherwise, he might encounter an accident during one of the fusions with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline seals."
"If I want to take additional action, I can only slowly absorb Sea God faith to accumulate power. If my existence becomes known to the Sea God Pavilion, and they suppress me in return, I might lose the ability to absorb the Sea God's faith."
Old Tang felt Frustrated.
He didn't possess the Sea God position anymore, and could only rely on his own divine power to assimilate the Sea God faith to slowly recover his depleted divine power.
But the Vast Sea Cosmic Crest was different.
That item was tainted with authority.
"Just wait until I get the Vast Sea Cosmic Crest back in my hands."
