Eating by the Strength of His Imagination

"What are you planning to do this time?"

As she led the boy toward Papal Hall, Ling Yuan asked in confusion.

Couldn't you behave yourself for once?

"A secret!"

Tian Hao smiled, then lowered his head and hunched over again, following behind while holding an exquisite box, looking every bit like a bootlicker.

Seeing that the boy did not answer, Ling Yuan could not press him further. She could only continue forward in silence, and they soon arrived at Papal Hall.

Qian Xunji was handling official business. When he heard that Ling Yuan had come to see him, he immediately guessed that the little fellow had something to discuss and told her to come straight in.

"Did that Yu Xiaogang do something again?"

Qian Xunji casually asked as he read through the documents.

He had handed Yu Xiaogang's affairs over to the boy. Since Tian Hao had come to see him now, it was probably about that matter.

"It isn't about Yu Xiaogang. I have something new that I need to report to His Excellency the Pope in private."

Tian Hao glanced at Ling Yuan beside him before reporting.

The fewer people who knew about this, the better. As for how Qian Xunji chose to distribute and teach this method afterward, that was none of his concern. He absolutely could not interfere in that area, or he would surely violate the Pope's taboo. By then, he might not even know how he had died.

Ling Yuan gave the boy a look but said nothing. She was merely a tool person anyway, and the less she knew, the better.

"Oh?"

Qian Xunji became interested. When he saw Tian Hao's gaze turn toward the entrance to the underground Secret Chamber, he immediately understood that the little fellow might have discovered something else.

He quickly finished reviewing the documents, then rose and walked to the Secret Chamber. After activating the mechanism, he went down, with Tian Hao following close behind.

"Now you can tell me!"

After sitting down in the Chair, Qian Xunji poured himself some Red Wine and took a sip, gesturing for Tian Hao to speak.

"His Excellency can use Spiritual power to examine my Lower Dantian and see what is different about it."

Tian Hao lifted his shirt, pressed his belt down slightly, and revealed the location of his Lower Dantian for Qian Xunji to inspect.

Though puzzled, Qian Xunji followed his instructions and extended his Spiritual power. Following the path of his Soul Power, he found that Dantian and probed inside.

"Pfft!"

The moment his Spiritual power entered and discovered that enormous space, Qian Xunji was so shocked that he spat out the Red Wine in his mouth.

"It isn't over yet, Your Excellency."

Tian Hao gestured for the shocked Qian Xunji, who had risen to his feet, to calm down. He then used his Spiritual power to urge his Soul Power into forming a vortex. It spun faster and faster, gradually generating a pulling force that absorbed the surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Force into his body.

Even the light emitted by the Soul Tool was drawn over and absorbed.

This Soul Power Vortex could not yet be maintained in a stable form. It needed Spiritual power to drive it, and the stronger the Spiritual power, the faster it could be made to spin and the greater its suction force.

"How did you do this?"

It took Qian Xunji a long while to suppress the shock and excitement in his heart. He could not understand how Tian Hao had opened up such a vast space within his body.

At his level, he naturally understood the significance of such a space. Even if it could not increase his Combat Power, it would multiply his battle endurance many times over.

It was a strategic-level Secret Method, absolutely no weaker than the previous Instinct Stimulation Cultivation Method. It might even be more powerful.

"After the battle outside the city gates last time, I obtained some of Bone Douluo Gu Rong's blood. With it, I acquired the Space Talent and first Space Soul Skill of his Martial Soul.

"At the time, I wondered whether I could use this Space Talent to expand my Lower Dantian—the one I just showed you.

"I discovered it while researching the body over the years. Besides that Lower Dantian, I also found a similar Middle Dantian in my chest. Both could store Soul Power, but the spaces inside were too small to hold much.

"I first extracted the Space Power from a low-level Storage Soul Tool. Unfortunately, it was too violent and could not be Calmed Down at all, let alone fused into and used to expand my Dantian.

"By coincidence, the Saintess gave me a Storage Soul Tool that could store living creatures. The Space Power extracted from it was much more stable. I then fused it into my Dantian and expanded it until it reached its current size.

"It's a pity that the farther the Dantian Space is expanded, the more Space Power is required. Still, being able to expand it to this scale is already very impressive.

"After that, I circulated my Soul Power inside it into a vortex and discovered that it could generate a suction force and accelerate the accumulation of Soul Power. Once I confirmed that this expanded Dantian had no hidden dangers, I came to offer it to Your Excellency."

After explaining the process in detail, Tian Hao fell silent and quietly waited for Qian Xunji to digest the matter.

This could not really be considered a Secret Method. It was merely a new way of thinking, just like the previous Instinct Stimulation Cultivation Method. The key was that no one before him had thought of it.

As a qualified transmigrator, he did not have much of anything else, but he had plenty of imagination. Turning any one of his ideas into reality would be a great achievement.

Back then, he had decided to take a gamble. Once he had cultivated his Soul Power to Rank One, he began researching this. He had sacrificed five years of progress and forcibly realized the Cold Jade Bed Cultivation Method in the Ice Cellar. As a result, he had caught colds and fevers countless times, until he could have filled a large vat with his mucus.

Fortunately, he had ultimately succeeded. Not only had he obtained a Head Soul Bone and the high-level Meditation Method of the Angel Clan, but he had also gotten his parents promoted and given them a raise, allowing them to move to Spirit City.

All his sacrifices had been worth it.

"Our thinking has been far too rigid."

After pondering for a long while, Qian Xunji sighed with emotion.

There was indeed nothing difficult about it. It was simply that no one had thought of it before—or, perhaps, some had thought of it but lacked the Space Talent to make it real.

Without saying anything else, Qian Xunji extended his Spiritual power and connected with his father, Qian Daoliu, who was in the nearby Douluo Hall. He asked him to bring over all the top-grade Storage Soul Tools, along with several clan members who possessed Space Soul Skills.

Soon After, Qian Daoliu arrived with three Angel Clan Members. To keep the matter secret, they had even used light distortion to conceal themselves.

After entering, Qian Daoliu said nothing. He extended his Spiritual power into Tian Hao's Lower Dantian, sensed the enormous space within, and was astonished.

"You really are quite capable of bringing us surprises, little fellow."

Qian Daoliu felt increasingly gratified. This was what a loyal supporter should be like—immediately offering up any new discoveries and Good Things. The Spirit Hall needed talented people with such loyalty.

"It was just an accidental discovery."

Tian Hao replied humbly.

"You three, take a look as well. Focus on sensing whether the space inside is stable."

Qian Daoliu smiled and gestured for the three clan members behind him to come forward and sense it.

The three Angel Clan Members, all skilled in Space Soul Skills, stepped forward and extended their Spiritual power inside to examine it carefully. Only after quite some time did they withdraw their Spiritual power, all of them so excited that their old faces had flushed red.

"The space inside is extremely stable. Even if a Ten Thousand Year Soul Skill were released inside, it might not necessarily break it. It is absolutely suitable for storing Soul Power."

The oldest Angel Clan Member spoke excitedly. If such a space could be opened within every clan member's body to store Soul Power, their Combat Power would certainly rise by at least one level. Their ultimate moves could be used casually as ordinary attacks, especially after they acquired their Martial Soul Avatars.

"These are the top-grade Storage Soul Tools accumulated by our Angel Clan. They can store living creatures. Give them a demonstration."

After receiving confirmation that there was no problem, Qian Daoliu took out seven Storage Soul Tools of various designs. All of them could store living creatures; he had gathered them from the clan before coming.

Tian Hao did not stand on ceremony. He accepted the Storage Soul Tools and sensed them with his Spiritual power and Soul Power, selecting the one with the largest internal space.

Sensing that its internal space was twice as large as Bibi Dong's, Tian Hao secretly rejoiced. To get a top-grade Storage Soul Tool for free so quickly—he had truly profited.

Steadying his emotions, he took out the Bone Douluo's blood he had prepared long ago and smeared it onto the Head Soul Bone that had manifested. Soon, a bright yellow Soul Ring manifested from it and settled around his body.

Seeing Tian Hao begin, the three Angel Clan Members skilled in Space Soul Skills stepped forward and carefully sensed it with their Spiritual power.
