The Wrong Faith? (Please Follow!!!)

When his Soul Power broke through Level 20, Su Ming began to frown.

"You need to condense a Soul Core. When you inscribe the array, don't make any mistakes," Du Busi reminded him.

Su Can's expression turned solemn as he began inscribing the array.

He did not dare make the slightest mistake, swiftly placing the several pieces of Rare Metal he had prepared earlier in different positions.

After setting down these array cores, he began using Soul Power to guide the patterns within each piece of Rare Metal, constructing channels of Soul Power in midair.

In the end, a Hexagram Array took shape, suppressing Su Ming at its center.

Feeling the pressure of the array, Su Ming let out a breath of relief.

The Soul Power within him was restrained, greatly reducing the amount that could flow through his meridians at once. This allowed even his scarce Soul Power to spread throughout all the meridians in his body.

This was the key to condensing a Soul Core. It involved whether, after the Soul Core formed, it could connect with the energy in all the body's meridians.

If he condensed the Soul Core using only a few meridians, setting aside whether the Soul Core could still circulate with the Soul Power in the other meridians afterward, the impact of the Soul Core's collapse process on the unused meridians alone would be a huge unknown.

A complete circulation was still not enough.

He also needed pressure.

Fortunately, the array provided it, compressing his Soul Power.

It was not just the array. His Soul Power was compressing itself as well.

After absorbing the Second Soul Ring, his Soul Power had broken through Level 20 and directly reached Level 21. It had not stopped yet, rapidly advancing toward Levels 22 and 23.

During this process, his Soul Power was also being fed back and gradually compressed.

Taking advantage of the compression, he suddenly converged all his Soul Power at his Dantian.

Boom!

At that moment, Su Ming felt a thunderous roar.

The Soul Power in his body was instantly drained, gathering in his Dantian and forming a vortex.

Strands of Soul Power emerged from countless corners of his body. This was the Soul Power he had cultivated before but had not revealed, replenishing his dried-up meridians and seamlessly connecting with the vortex-shaped Soul Power.

The vortex gradually stabilized, becoming an important driving force for the Soul Power within Su Ming's body.

Driven by the vortex, Su Ming quickly completed one full circulation of Soul Power, taking less than half the time he had needed before!

Of course, his Soul Power had previously been sluggish and difficult to circulate.

Even compared with when his Soul Power had circulated at its fastest, completing one cycle now took only sixty percent of that time.

This meant that in the same amount of time, he could circulate his Soul Power two-thirds more.

Not only would his Soul Power cultivation and recovery be faster, but his Soul Power output would also be faster, allowing for smoother exertion.

But this was not the end.

The formation of the vortex was only the beginning. As time passed, the Soul Power vortex would grow larger and larger, while the concentration of Soul Power within it would become increasingly astonishing.

Only when the Soul Core expanded to fill the entire Dantian would it become a true Soul Core.

Right now, Su Ming had merely guided the Soul Power in his body into forming a Soul Core Prototype, easing the crisis of his Soul Power solidifying.

A normal Soul Core is a vortex formed by compressing the Soul Power that fills a Soul Master's meridians, directly taking shape in the Dantian. My total amount of Soul Power is far too low. The vortex has not even filled my Dantian.

After examining his condition, Su Ming began to feel optimistic.

His Soul Power was still rising. The Soul Power he had accumulated before was truly substantial.

According to the feedback from his Martial Soul, the growth of his Soul Power would drive an improvement in Soul Power Quality. Now, however, that improvement had become less apparent. The Soul Core Prototype directly propelled his Soul Power's circulation, spreading it through his meridians. Its density could not increase at all; before it could be compressed, it was pushed by the Soul Core Prototype and rapidly dispersed throughout his meridians. Whenever it was about to become denser, the Soul Core would completely absorb it to strengthen the vortex, while another portion was driven by the Soul Core Prototype and scattered throughout his body again.

As this cycle repeated, Soul Power Quality still improved slowly, but the extent of that improvement was greatly weakened.

At this rate, I can safely cultivate to Level 40. Even after obtaining my Fourth Soul Ring, I probably will not face the crisis of my Soul Power solidifying again.

Mm, my Soul Power is rising a little too quickly.

Su Ming had just breathed a sigh of relief, but as he sensed the changes in his Soul Power, he could not help feeling troubled again.

It was too fast.

Before joining the Body Sect, he had remained at Level 20 for four months. During those four months, he had gained at least one level, but he had been unable to manifest it. On top of that, he had absorbed a twelve-hundred-year Star Tree Soul Ring this time, perfectly integrating its cultivation in the form of a Soul Spirit. That had raised his Soul Power by at least another level, along with the energy contained in the two pieces of Thousand-Year Whale Rubber he had consumed earlier.

With so much energy piled up, he had directly broken through to Level 25!

Hiss, I have not even gotten to enjoy the thrill of raising my Soul Power freely. Don't let me reach the point where I have to condense a Second Soul Core so soon. Su Ming was on the verge of tears.

Of course, he would not slow his cultivation speed just to avoid condensing a Second Soul Core. That would be putting the cart before the horse.

Wasn't raising his Soul Power to the fullest simply about making Soul Power cultivation as fast as possible?

Cultivating at full power was the greatest respect he could show his own talent.

Whatever. I'll enjoy cultivating first. As for condensing the Second Soul Core, there will always be a way when the time comes. With the support of future technology, I can always reduce the difficulty considerably.

Dual Soul Cores were already extremely common in the Dou San era. The vast number of condensation experiences and models would be enough for Su Ming to study.

For now, I should check my Sea of Consciousness.

This was the greatest advantage of Soul Spirits.

As long as a Soul Master's Spiritual Power reached a certain level, he could open his Sea of Consciousness under the stimulation of a Soul Spirit. In the Dou San era, Soul Masters could basically sense the existence of their Sea of Consciousness.

It could be said that the existence of Soul Spirits directly helped Soul Masters awaken half of their Mental Attribute talent.

Even Soul Masters without a Mental Attribute could make progress in Spiritual Power that did not fall behind the Mental Attribute Soul Masters of the Dou Er era. Even those whose growth was slower still progressed faster than Mental Attribute Soul Masters from the Dou Yi era.

Over in the future...

Su Ming began communicating with his future self. After learning the result from his future perspective, the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted.

Seeing the change in Su Ming's expression, both Su Can and Du Busi sighed in relief, though they were puzzled as to why Su Ming still had not opened his eyes.

Faith Power really is gathering.

This meant that the Rank he obtained in the present could also be used by his future self.

Next, I need to see whether I can receive the Faith Power from the past ten thousand years that was not collected immediately. If I can, I might even be able to skip the time needed to gather Faith!

Before Su Ming could test his idea, his senses drew his attention elsewhere.

The Su Ming of the Dou San era had experienced Faith Power before.

Now, the Su Ming of the Dou Er era entered his Sea of Consciousness and saw strands of Faith Power within it.

No, why would I have Faith right now?

Something had to be wrong somewhere.

In this era, where could faith in Soul Spirits possibly come from?
