In this state, Xiang Yang himself would fall into a state similar to "oneness with nature," like the saying "all things are one with me." Therefore, Tang San did not fail to perceive him; rather, he had just "not existed."
It's a pity that Xiang Yang will immediately retreat if he makes any big movements, otherwise it could be considered "Aura Concealment EX".
"Ah, is that even possible?" Even Tang San, who was used to the surprises Xiang Yang brought him, was stunned. His Purple Demon Eye, thanks to the Forgetting Through Autumn Water Dew, had saved him a great deal of time and gained the abilities of perception and illusion-breaking. He had already thought it was a unique ability, but who would have thought there was another expert like it?
Xiang Yang's talent in cultivating the Purple Demon Eye was better than his, but he had more experience and had cultivated for many years in advance. How could he be caught up? Immortal Herb? Oh well.
But you have to know that the Purple Demon Eye is an eye-training method passed down by the Tang Sect for hundreds of years. How could its effect change? Tang San didn't know what to say for a moment. Watching Xiang Yang say goodbye and leave, he could only shake his head helplessly and continue refining pills.
Xiang Yang sat down on one side of Yang Spring. The Heaven and Earth Essence here was very compatible with him. He had been working on refining his Soul Power, and now that he had some free time, he could try his long-lost normal cultivation.
He first followed the Mysterious Heaven Skill route to complete a full cycle of Qi circulation. The speed at which he refined the Yuan Qi was indeed vastly different from before. If at the beginning it was like collecting water drop by drop, now it was as fast as turning on a tap. However, there was still a difference in cultivation level, so it couldn't be compared directly.
Xiang Yang suddenly became curious about the cultivation speed of others at the same level, wondering how much faster he would be than them.
Then, he used the Nine Yang Meridians Nine Yang Skill, which he obtained through Immortal Herbs and evolved from the Soul Ring of his Martial Soul, based on the Mysterious Heaven Skill, to cultivate it once more. After finishing, Xiang Yang opened his eyes, and the result was as expected. "As expected, the one I created is more suitable for me."
His cultivation speed was more than 10% faster than when he was only using the Mysterious Heaven Skill. Keep in mind that the Nine Yang Skill is not yet perfect. He can absorb at least six more Soul Rings later, and it should be even faster then, at least twice as fast.
After all, if it weren't for the formation of the [Nine Yang Meridians], Xiang Yang's current "self-created technique" wouldn't have such a strong effect. It would be a miracle if it could even be comparable to 50% of the Mysterious Heaven Skill; how could it possibly surpass it?
After two tests, Xiang Yang returned to his own unique cultivation method, extracting Sunlight Energy from his Martial Soul... Now perhaps it needs a different name, because according to Xiang Yang's senses and analysis, its current quality is close to that of Soul Emperor, and as long as he absorbs the fourth Soul Ring, he will be a true Soul Emperor.
Moreover, the quantity has also begun to increase. Although it is currently only 1.5 times its own Soul Power, which is not much, it is a good sign, indicating that the energy storage of the Martial Soul can be greater than that of the user.
So Xiang Yang gave it a new name—[Sun Solar Essence]. The Nine Yang Skill is even more efficient than the Mysterious Heaven Skill in transporting and refining Sun Solar Essence. With these additions, it is now about 1.5 times more efficient than normal cultivation with the Mysterious Heaven Skill, an increase of more than 30%.
Feeling the familiar cultivation speed, Xiang Yang unconsciously smiled. This was the most important thing to him. Compared to this, even the Ultimate Attribute was not that important.
While Ultimate Attributes are stronger than others at the same level, I cultivate faster. You think you can challenge someone of a higher level? Well, what if I'm two or even three realms higher than you?
Moreover, once you reach the Titled Douluo level, this thing becomes less important, because Ultimate Attributes only give you some traits that are only available at higher levels. Even if you don't have them at the beginning, as long as you keep cultivating, the abilities you master will not be worse than those of pure Ultimate Attributes, and in the end, they will all lead to the same goal.
The day at the Yin -Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well passed quietly. Tang San calmed down and tried different pill formulas, attempting to understand the medicinal properties; Xiang Yang continued to practice his new Soul Skills after his cultivation; and the Xiao Wu, having long been unable to bear the boredom of the place, left the day after Xiang Yang had refined the Immortal Herb.
Tang Hao built an open-air "courtyard" to surround the Blue Silver Emperor, and his diligent farmer-like demeanor was completely different from before; Dugu Bo, on the other hand, increased his Soul Power by one level after the Soul Core was condensed, and has not returned since he went out.
Three more days passed in the blink of an eye. Although Xiang Yang could still accumulate more Soul Power, he naturally knew that the cultivation speed after obtaining Soul Ring and breaking through would be faster than before the breakthrough. So, after he had roughly adapted to the Soul Skills, he asked the Tang family father and son to go out Soul Hunting together.
Whoosh! Boom! Whoosh!
It must be said that flying is indeed convenient for Titled Douluo; in just two hours, they found a Xiang Yang Soul Beast — the Sun Wheel Flower.
"Are you really sure you want to absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring?" Tang San asked with some concern. He wasn't worried about his physical strength, though, as Xiang Yang was currently stronger than him.
The main issue is that there are no small matters when it comes to the soul. Although Xiang Yang's current Spiritual Power is not much different from his own, and with the blessing of the Purple Demon Eye, he has theoretically met the requirements for refining. However, Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring is, after all, exclusive to Soul Kings and above. If the absorption fails, the Soul Master will be severely injured, and in severe cases, may even become mentally impaired. Therefore, caution is necessary.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Xiang Yang watched Tang Hao "cautiously" fighting the Ten-Thousand-Year Sun Wheel Flower, finding it somewhat amusing, but he was quite confident in absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Putting aside the fact that his Spiritual Power must be superior to the other party's, just from his interactions with Xiao Wu, the Transformed Soul Beast, over the past few months, and his many thoughts on Sacrifice the Immortal Herb, Xiang Yang has gained a certain understanding of his own special abilities.
He couldn't guarantee the specific effects, but the source should be his own soul. If things really went as he thought, he could Xiang Yang not only Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, but even million-year-old Soul Beasts. However, in that case, most of his Soul Power would have to be wasted.
"Alright, go ahead." Tang Hao controlled his strength and gave the Sun Wheel Flower another blow. Feeling that it was enough, he flashed and appeared behind the two of them.
"Haha! Thanks, Uncle Tang." Xiang Yang gave Tang San a reassuring look, laughed heartily, and stepped forward.
"Third Soul Skill, Sun Wheel Transformation!"
Xiang Yang's first Thousand-Year Soul Ring has the ability of splitting and merging power from the Nine Yang Ginseng. It can summon a clone that is exactly the same as himself by consuming 1/10 of his Soul Power. Currently, there are three clones, and the number can increase as his cultivation level increases.
Aside from the fact that the Sun Solar Essence energy within the Martial Soul cannot be completely copied, both the Soul Power (9/10 after casting) and the skills are identical. This means that the clone can also create clones, but the Soul Power consumed will then become one-third, so it is not possible to create clones infinitely.
Furthermore, it allows the clone to merge with itself, temporarily raising its own realm, increasing its Soul Power and output limit. It truly lives up to its reputation as Soul Skill provided by Immortal Herb —it's incredibly powerful!
Buzz! Hiss!
This time, Xiang Yang only summoned one clone of his Martial Soul, causing the two "Suns " to each shoot out a fist-sized golden-red beam of light, which pierced through the ten-meter-tall body of the Sun Wheel Flower.
The ancient black Soul Ring began to appear. After it solidified, Xiang Yang sat cross-legged, drew the Soul Ring over, and began to refine it.
