Soul Core Speculation

"His Excellency, I discussed this with Sister Ah Yin. I heard her mention that there's something inside Soul Beasts called a Soul Core. It's formed when the Origin power of a Soul Beast fuses with a large amount of Soul Power under the strengthening of its Bloodline. After a High Level Soul Beast dies, its Soul Core collapses and transforms into a Spirit Ring, with part of it also becoming a Soul Bone.

At the time, I wondered: since Soul Beasts can condense Soul Power into a Solid core, could we humans do the same?

Even without the support of a Soul Beast Bloodline, we could still find a way to forcefully compress it.

For example, with the Soul Power Vortex I created, the faster it spins, the stronger its compressive force becomes. If we keep compressing it like that, we'll definitely be able to condense Soul Power into a Liquid state, and then a Solid state. If we compress that Solid state further, could it become a Soul Core like the ones Soul Beasts possess?"

Tian Hao took the opportunity to make the Proposal. In fact, he had wanted to bring up the idea of a Soul Core long ago, but he hadn't had a suitable excuse. Now that he had established contact with Ah Yin, explaining certain things became much easier.

Of course, the Most Important thing was that he only knew the concept of a Soul Core. He had no idea how to condense one. In any case, it definitely wouldn't be as simple as in the original Douluo Series. After all, this was a real world.

He certainly wouldn't conduct such dangerous research himself, so he had to find a powerful person to blaze the trail. No one was more suitable than Qian Daoliu.

Once they achieved results, he could claim the credit and share in the results. He only needed to move his lips. Why wouldn't he do it?

This Proposal sent Qian Daoliu into deep thought. He wasn't unfamiliar with Liquid Soul Power, because after reaching the Titled Douluo realm, the Soul Power Within the Body would liquefy. This was also the main reason Titled Douluo were so much stronger than Soul Douluo.

He had never heard of Solid Soul Power, but it should be feasible.

He had already condensed a huge vortex of Sacred Light Soul Power in his Dantian, and had indeed discovered that Liquid Soul Power could still be compressed further. Perhaps it could solidify.

However, he had never considered the Soul Core form, which was even more advanced than Solid Soul Power. Yet, after hearing about it, it seemed somewhat feasible.

"I must discuss this matter with My God."

Qian Daoliu spoke with a solemn expression. He couldn't determine whether this method would work, so he had to communicate with the Angel God's Will first.

Then he would capture a few High Level Soul Beasts for research and see what their Soul Cores were made of.

"This method will definitely be accompanied by danger. Before you have complete confidence, His Excellency, you mustn't try it recklessly. We can try it outside the body first and only bring the Soul Core into the body after it has truly condensed."

Tian Hao reminded him. Experimenting with a Soul Core wasn't easy. It was very dangerous.

If he accidentally got Qian Daoliu killed, he wouldn't even have anywhere to cry. After all, it was difficult to find such a high-quality tool.

"Old Man cherishes his life even more than you do!"

Qian Daoliu laughed and cursed. How could he fail to see the danger involved? Although he wasn't afraid of death, he still couldn't die, because he bore far too many burdens.

The two chatted for a while longer before Tian Hao left the room and found a room nearby to stay in.

Perhaps Qian Daoliu liked peace and quiet. He had booked the entire top floor of the Hotel, so Tian Hao could choose any room.

After washing himself in the bathroom, Tian Hao didn't immediately take out the Soul Bone to refine it. Instead, he lay down on the bed and sent his consciousness into the Martial Soul's Sea of Spirit.

At this moment, apart from the Asura Seven Kill Sword, there was also a Blue Silver Emperor in the Sea of Spirit.

The hidden Life Force had indeed fused into it, bringing vitality to the withered, dead Blue Silver Emperor. It also emitted blue light that enveloped the entire Sea of Spirit.

That was precisely the Blue Silver Emperor's Innate Ability, the Blue Silver Domain. It had been Ignited by that Life Energy. Tian Hao even felt that he could project the Blue Silver Domain through the Martial Soul's Sea of Spirit and apply it to his body.

"It fused. Is it evolving toward the Tree of Life?"

He soon noticed the changes in the Blue Silver Emperor. Its trunk, originally formed from countless intertwined Vines, had actually fused into one and become a genuine tree trunk. This made Tian Hao think of the Life God-King of the God Realm and her true form, the Tree of Life.

Moreover, when he had just taken the opportunity to touch Qian Daoliu's palm, an energy in the Sea of Spirit had indeed been stirred. However, it was vastly different from the Sacred Angel Martial Soul. It merely had some compatibility with that Sacred Attribute.

"The Benevolent God-King?"

Tian Hao made a guess and roughly confirmed that the hidden power within his Martial Soul's Sea of Spirit was indeed related to the Five Great God-Kings of the God Realm.

In the original Douluo Series of his previous life, there were several explanations regarding the God Realm. One of them stated that after the God of Creation created the God Realm, he divided himself into five parts, turning them into five seeds. Those five seeds slowly grew and developed independent wisdom, eventually becoming the five supreme gods of the God Realm—the current Five Great God-Kings of the God Realm.

Thus, the Five Great God-Kings were born together with the God Realm as one entity. His Martial Soul's Sea of Spirit had likely hidden the power of the Five Great God-Kings for this very reason.

"I wonder whether the Sea of Spirit will undergo a new change after finding compatible vessels for all five powers."

Thinking of this possibility, Tian Hao was quite expectant. He immediately turned his gaze back to the Blue Silver Emperor Body.

"It's still very withered. It lacks energy. Fortunately, the place we're heading to next can provide enough energy."

After observing the still-withered Blue Silver Emperor, he couldn't help thinking of that treasured land.

Suppressing those thoughts, Tian Hao continued studying the skin Cells he had just collected from his body and observed the changes in the Bloodline power within them.

"There's still quite a way to go. Hopefully, those Immortal Herbs can accelerate this step."

After sensing it, Tian Hao felt delighted. His guess had been correct.

The Martial Soul Bloodline inherited from his mother could indeed be nurtured and strengthened. Once it was nurtured to the limit that the Martial Soul Bloodline itself could contain, it could awaken and become a Second Martial Soul.

However, accomplishing this was very difficult. Even though he had asked Ah Yin to frequently activate the Blue Silver Domain to help him over the past year, he had still nurtured less than ten percent.

And that was because his Martial Soul Bloodline was relatively low-level. If it were another High Level Martial Soul Bloodline, nurturing it would be even more difficult.

Just as Tian Hao was studying his own Martial Soul Bloodline, Ah Yin went downstairs and spoke with the Tang Hao Brothers. It was also a farewell of sorts.

"You joined the Spirit Hall? How could you join the Spirit Hall? Do you know what kind of existence the Spirit Hall is? They..."

Upon hearing that Ah Yin had actually chosen to join the Spirit Hall, Tang Hao was so furious that his face twisted viciously. How could Ah Yin join the Spirit Hall?

Tang Xiao was also filled with dissatisfaction and confusion. Ah Yin's decision had come too suddenly.

"I'm sorry. I have a reason I must join."

Ah Yin apologized. She had to join the Spirit Hall. Only then could she Cooperate with them more effectively and complete that entirely new Soul Ring System.

"Is it related to the research you conducted in the forest with us this past year?"

Tang Xiao, whose temperament was steady, was the first to calm down. He held back his younger brother, who still wanted to say something, and asked solemnly.

"Mm!"

Ah Yin nodded without offering any further explanation.

"Although you joined the Spirit Hall, we're still siblings. If you're bullied in the Spirit Hall in the future, come to Big Brother and your Second Brother. We'll make sure they pay for it."

Tang Xiao Gave a Look at Ah Yin and, after saying a few polite words, dragged his younger brother away.

Just now, he had sensed a feeling of being locked onto. He Understood that the person in question was expressing dissatisfaction with them. If they continued pestering her, that person might very well attack.

"Big Brother!"

After being dragged out of the Hotel, Tang Hao was extremely dissatisfied. They should have taken Ah Yin away with them. They had even stayed here for an entire year because of her. Were they really leaving just like this?

"Forget her."

Tang Xiao let out a Sigh. How could he fail to see that his younger brother had fallen for Ah Yin? He, too, had developed feelings for that gentle woman. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited in this small city for an entire year.

Unfortunately, everyone had their own aspirations. Perhaps they simply weren't meant to be.

Tang Hao opened and closed his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment. His heart was stifled and aching, and he wished he could immediately unleash the Clear Sky Hammer and slaughter to his heart's content.

"Although the Divine Slaughter's Domain can enhance your strength, it will also interfere with your will. Even with the support of a Head Soul Bone, it isn't enough. You need more tempering until you can control that power."

Noticing the Killing Intent emanating from his younger brother, Tang Xiao frowned and scolded him.

The Divine Slaughter's Domain was a double-edged sword. It could harm others, but it could also harm its wielder. It was extremely dangerous.

"I Understand."

Tang Hao took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the Killing Intent in his heart. He also understood the side effects of the Divine Slaughter's Domain. He truly needed to master it as soon as possible. Otherwise, he might lose control of himself.
