Chapter 189: Method of Condensing the third soul core
Ye Guyi hovered in mid-air, her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul still radiating majestic divine power. The Angel Sword in her hand flowed with golden light, its blade humming as if rejoicing in the purification of such a powerful evil.
She could clearly feel an extremely vast and pure energy being stripped from the place where the Great Elder had been annihilated—it was the origin of his lifelong cultivation of Soul Power and life essence. After being purified by the Angel Sword, it had shed all evil attributes and turned into ownerless, pure energy.
According to past experience, most of this energy would be absorbed by the Angel Sword on its own to nourish the blade and accelerate its recovery. Ye Guyi also habitually prepared to guide the holy sword to absorb it.
However, this time, the situation was completely different.
The Angel Sword only trembled slightly. After the golden light flowing on the blade swept over that pure energy, it seemed to lose interest. The light withdrew and it returned to calm, without generating a powerful suction as it usually did.
"Hmm?" Ye Guyi let out a soft exclamation of surprise, a hint of doubt flashing in her beautiful eyes. She could feel a "saturated" and "picky" intent being transmitted from the holy sword, as if saying: energy of this level is no longer of much use to me.
Just then, Lei Chen, who had been standing silently by as if merged with heaven and earth, spoke calmly, his voice entering directly into Ye Guyi's heart: "There is no need for doubt."
"The Angel Sword has gone through more than a year of battles and nourishment from your faith, and its origin has mostly recovered, reaching a critical bottleneck in its activation. The energy purified from ordinary Evil Soul Masters below the god-level is no longer of sufficient purity and magnitude to push it to the next stage of transformation. It now needs higher-level, more extreme 'fuel'."
His gaze swept over the pure energy floating in the air, which looked like a small river of light, and he continued: "Since the holy sword no longer needs this energy, absorb and refine it yourself. The lifelong cultivation of a Level 99 Limit Douluo is excellent nourishment for you to consolidate your foundation and charge toward a higher realm."
Hearing this, Ye Guyi instantly understood. It turned out that the growth of the Angel Sword had entered a new stage, which meant the upcoming battles would be even more difficult, but it also pointed out the direction—only by slaying evil beings above the god-level could the holy sword finally complete its full recovery.
"Yes! Guyi understands!" She suppressed the thoughts in her heart and nodded without hesitation.
Immediately, she focused her mind, flapped her six wings, and landed back on the ground, sitting cross-legged at the edge of the charred crater. Her Angelic Domain naturally expanded, forming a pale golden light shield that isolated her from the outside world.
She reached out her slender hand and made a guiding gesture in the air. The vast river of pure energy seemed to be summoned, turning into a warm torrent and continuously pouring into her body.
This energy was extremely massive, far exceeding any she had absorbed before. As soon as it entered her meridians, it began to surge like a river bursting its banks. Fortunately, the energy had been purified by the holy sword and was incredibly gentle and pure. Sharing the same origin as her sacred Soul Power, it did not cause any rejection.
Ye Guyi guarded her mind and operated her Soul Power with all her might, guiding this vast energy to circulate along a specific route, refining it bit by bit and merging it into her soul core.
Her second soul core had already been condensed, located in the middle dantian of her chest, forming a Yin-Yang Complementary state with the first soul core in her lower dantian. Now, receiving the infusion of such a massive amount of pure energy, the two soul cores were like seedlings after a long drought, becoming solid and expanding at an unprecedented speed, with the Soul Power fluctuations they emitted also rising steadily.
Level 96... Level 97... Level 98!
Her cultivation level soared like a rocket, with almost no bottleneck obstacles.
The lifelong accumulation of a Limit Douluo possessed such immense energy that it was enough to create a new Super Douluo. Ye Guyi herself had a solid foundation and possessed a top-tier Martial Soul and God Position inheritance, making her absorption efficiency extremely high.
After an unknown amount of time, when the last trace of pure energy was completely refined and absorbed, Ye Guyi's cultivation had steadily stopped at the peak of Level 98, only one step away from the limit of mortal Soul Masters—level 99!
She could feel that her total Soul Power had surged significantly, and her Spiritual strength had become more condensed. But just as she tried to make a final push to reach level 99 with the remaining energy in her body, she felt an invisible barrier.
This barrier was not due to insufficient energy but originated from a certain extreme limit of life level and energy form. To break through, simple energy accumulation was not enough; it required deeper comprehension and opportunity, especially... condensing that legendary third soul core!
Ye Guyi tried several times, her Soul Power surging before the barrier, but she was unable to shake it in the slightest, as if separated by an incredibly tough membrane. She slowly opened her eyes, a flash of unwillingness in her golden eyes, but more of it was a sense of realization.
She looked at Lei Chen, who had been standing silently to the side as if unchanging since ancient times, and said respectfully, "Plane Master, Guyi has fully refined this energy, and my cultivation has reached the peak of Level 98. It's just that... the barrier to level 99 is exceptionally firm. Relying on Guyi alone, I fear it will be difficult to break through in a short time, especially the condensation of the third soul core..."
Her tone carried a hint of seeking guidance and expectation. She knew deeply that the existence before her possessed power that could reach heaven and earth. If she had his guidance or assistance, breaking through this barrier would surely be a simple matter.
"Since you have realized where the bottleneck lies, you must know the path to breaking the barrier." Lei Chen's voice was calm and clear, like a morning bell or an evening drum, striking Ye Guyi's heart.
"The human body has Three Great Dantians, which are the hubs for the convergence and sublimation of energy. Your lower dantian and middle dantian have already condensed the first and second soul cores respectively, which are the Soul Power cores."
"However, if you wish to become a Limit Douluo and glimpse the gap between god and mortal, you must knock open the upper dantian, which is—where the Spiritual Sea is located."
"The third soul core, rather than calling it a'soul core', it is better to call it a 'Spiritual Core'." Lei Chen slowly spoke the key point, "It is not a simple accumulation of Soul Power, but rather the high compression and materialization of Spiritual strength, eventually condensing into a Spiritual Core."
"I see..." Lei Chen's words made everything clear for Ye Guyi. It turned out that the core of the level 99 barrier lay in the qualitative change and sublimation of the spirit, and condensing a Spiritual Core was the only key to knocking open this door.
Ye Guyi took a deep breath, suppressed the agitation brought by her realization, nodded heavily, and closed her eyes once more.
This time, her mind no longer focused on the surging Soul Power but completely sank into that brilliant and mysterious Sea of Consciousness between her brows, beginning to attempt to condense her own real and substantial Spiritual power.
