Chapter 58: Semi-God
"You cultivation system in this world is really too crude."
"However, this is the rule of this world."
The God of Willow sighed slightly, her gaze drifting towards the distance, as if she was deep in thought.
Her voice carried a trace of nostalgia as she continued, "When you reach a certain level, it would be best for you to abandon the Soul Ring system you speak of. That way, you won't be bound by these limitations in the future."
The God of Willow slowly looked at Jiang Li and spoke these words.
After spending time observing and studying this world's cultivation system, she had completely understood it.
In her view, relying on the hunting of soul beasts to obtain soul rings in order to increase strength seemed fast, but it was actually a shortcut that imposed many limitations.
However, she also understood that this was determined by the rules of the world and couldn't be changed in the short term.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li nodded slightly.
He was, of course, very familiar with Douluo Continent's cultivation system. In this world, only by absorbing soul rings could one breakthrough to higher soul power levels and become the top tier of strong individuals.
However, this cultivation method also had many drawbacks.
For instance, the number of soul beasts was limited, making it extremely difficult to obtain higher-level soul rings.
Additionally, the compatibility of the soul ring's attributes with one's martial soul could affect the performance of their strength.
More importantly, even if one reached godhood and gained a divine position, they would still be constrained by the God Realm, unable to freely roam between heaven and earth.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.
For him, these issues were not the most urgent at the moment.
What mattered most right now was to improve his own strength as quickly as possible.
...
Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.
While everyone was immersed in their cultivation and thoughts, a powerful, shocking aura suddenly erupted around Lei Yao and Ling Yun.
This aura surged like roaring waves, one after another, continuously crashing against the surrounding space.
The power was far beyond that of a Limit Douluo, causing Jiang Li to feel an intense sense of oppression.
Moreover, the life force and thunder power they released had reached the level they achieved during their Martial Soul Fusion.
Not only that, but these two forces seemed to have undergone a strange transformation within them, becoming more pure and concentrated.
Jiang Li hadn't expected the opportunity granted by the God of Willow to be so great, allowing Ling Yun and Lei Yao to achieve such extraordinary progress in such a short amount of time.
It was hard to imagine how powerful their Martial Soul Fusion Skill would be when they used it again after these enhancements.
Perhaps even a true God-level powerhouse would have to avoid their onslaught.
"Thank you, God of Willow!"
After regaining their senses, Lei Yao and Ling Yun were filled with gratitude.
They knew they had gained an immense opportunity and respectfully nodded toward the God of Willow, expressing their heartfelt thanks and admiration.
"It's no trouble. I just played a guiding role. All of this is thanks to your own talents."
The God of Willow smiled faintly, her smile containing endless wisdom.
Soon, the figure vanished, dissipating into the world.
As the God of Willow disappeared, the surrounding space began to shift slowly, as if time and space had been twisted at that moment.
Before Jiang Li and the others could react, they realized they had been transported back to the Star Auction House.
"At what level have you two reached now?"
Jiang Li looked at Lei Yao and Ling Yun, curious as he asked.
From his perception, their strength had surpassed that of a Limit Douluo, but it seemed they had not yet truly broken through to God-level.
"Lord Jiang, it seems our strength has reached the semi-god level. Our next breakthrough should be to the rank of a hundred-level God," Lei Yao and Ling Yun slowly replied, sensing their internal aura.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li fell into deep thought.
The journey from Limit Douluo to a Tier-3 God was an extremely difficult and challenging process, requiring a comprehensive transformation in soul power, mental strength, and other aspects.
A Limit Douluo (Level 99) is divided into three stages: semi-god, half-god, and semi-god. Breaking through each of these stages requires immense effort and sacrifices.
The breakthrough to a hundred-level God and then to a Tier-3 God (Levels 110-119) is even more of a qualitative leap.
Jiang Li hadn't expected that just a small opportunity granted by the God of Willow could cause Lei Yao and Ling Yun to make such a massive leap in strength in such a short amount of time.
They had gone from entering the Limit Douluo stage to directly advancing to the semi-god level.
The God of Willow was truly terrifying!
With Lei Yao and Ling Yun's significant strength increase, Jiang Li felt a surge of confidence about the upcoming journey to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
Tang San resided in the God Realm, and on Douluo Continent, his powers were restricted, and he couldn't freely descend to intervene.
But with Lei Yao and Ling Yun having reached the semi-god level, their powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill had undoubtedly become a strong safeguard against all sorts of unknown dangers.
Jiang Li was confident that, with their power, they would be more than capable of handling the dangers they would encounter on their journey to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
"Then for the next few days, you two should focus on familiarizing yourselves with your newly enhanced powers."
"In a few days, we will head to the Sun and Moon Empire. After treating Xu Tianran's legs, we will go back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes."
Jiang Li frowned slightly, thinking for a moment before speaking in a steady tone.
"Understood, Lord Jiang."
Ling Yun and Lei Yao responded in unison, nodding slightly.
They both understood the importance of solidifying their newfound strength, and without hesitation, they left and returned to their rooms.
Once inside, they immediately sat cross-legged on mats, closed their eyes, and focused their minds to consolidate the tremendous power they had gained in such a short time.
...
Time passed quickly, like a fleeting moment, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
Jiang Li, Lei Yao, and Ling Yun left early from Shrek City, where the Star Auction House was located.
Jiang Li didn't hurry to the Sun and Moon Empire. On the long journey, he leisurely took in the scenery and the customs of Douluo Continent.
After all, since arriving in this fantastical world of Douluo, he had never truly had the time to settle down and understand this mysterious continent.
Now was the perfect opportunity for him to explore and enjoy.
Jiang Li thought to himself as he smiled slightly.
Thus, it took Jiang Li and the others five days to finally reach the Sun and Moon Empire.
When they entered the borders of the Sun and Moon Empire, they immediately felt its unique atmosphere.
Unlike other places, the architecture of the Sun and Moon Empire was grander and more magnificent, filled with a sense of majesty.
The streets were bustling with crowds, filled with all sorts of exotic treasures. The sounds of people calling out their wares filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere.
