As Long as You Work, You Can Live Forever
Tang San didn't have high expectations for finding one or two Spiritual Will that could assist him in cultivation and build the prototype of his Inner Scenery World, but he did think of alternatives.
"Qing Ge, in your Inner Scenery prototype, I also saw the figures of three Soul Beasts: Moo Spring Ox, Dancing Winter Rabbit, and Wind Autumn Sparrow. Does this mean that Soul Beast can also be substituted?"
"That's right."
Zhou Qing nodded. "After the Inner Scenery World took shape, I could sense that the Soul Ring we absorbed contained fragments of Soul Beast's souls. Because we completed the Secondary Soul Ring Refinement, these soul fragments also entered the Inner Scenery, drawing in the remaining soul fragments scattered from the outer world in a special way, thus completing their resurrection within my Inner Scenery."
Upon learning of this situation, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in Romantina remarked. "I seriously suspect that if other Soul Beast knew your situation, they'd be eager to sacrifice themselves to you."
The current situation is obvious—
As long as Zhou Qing continues to cultivate, the Inner Scenery World will one day transform into a real world, and those resurrected Soul Beast, born alongside the world, are they not born innately?
Moreover, Zhou Qing couldn't possibly unleash some Heavenly Tribulation to destroy those resurrected Soul Beast; at most, he could try to make them "work" for the perfection of the Inner World.
You can live forever just by working!
Compared to the Divine Realm in reality, which is extremely hostile towards beasts...
That Dragon God was a complete idiot; before he died, he actually placed a curse on all beasts, "Without the Dragon God, no beast can become a god..."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt Inner Scenery the inner path was simply too perfect!
It's just working, isn't it?
Let him hit me!
Although he eats and sleeps all the time, he is definitely a hardworking Ice Silkworm, and he hates those who reap without sowing! The Divine Realm, the Dragon God, and the surviving Dragon Clan should all be a thing of the past!
Subsequently, Zhou Qing shared his insights and experiences from the process of opening up the Inner Scenery with Dugu Bo through Romantina's Spiritual Sharing skills.
After all, this is a Titled Douluo with abundant Soul Power. With this experience and understanding, and based on the human body cauldron that has been constructed with the help of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, he should be able to try to open up his own Inner Scenery.
In addition, Romantina also assisted Dugu Bo in completing the Secondary Soul Ring Refinement.
Since Dugu Bo is already Titled Douluo, after his Soul Ring has undergone Secondary Refinement, it has acquired dark green patterns and transforms into a Soul Ring Soul Disk when using Soul Skill, resulting in reduced Soul Power consumption and smoother use. However, he cannot allow the Soul Ring's age to evolve in a short period of time along with his Martial Soul.
Therefore, completing this step is to allow the soul fragments in Dugu Bo's nine Soul Rings to be revived in the Inner Scenery World he subsequently constructs, thereby helping him regulate the energy flow and circulation within the Inner Scenery World.
"During this process, your spirit may have to bear the resentment of the Soul Beast."
Seeing that Dugu Bo was about to try, Zhou Qing reminded him, "The essence of Soul Master hunting Soul Beast is not for Soul Skill, but to break through his realm and continue to cultivate to a higher level. Obviously, this rule is abnormal, or even artificial. Therefore, the Soul Ring contains the Soul Beast's resentment, hatred and resentment when it was killed."
"Resentment and bitterness cannot be resolved by violence. They must be vented, which means letting them crash, tear, and attack your mind and even your soul."
"Only by letting them vent their anger first, and then giving them benefits, that is, letting them be reborn in the Inner Scenery World, can you resolve the conflict between you and them, and make them realize that they are already one with you and can never be separated. If you are strong, they will also be strong."
Dugu Bo noted it down and closed his eyes, entering a state of cultivation.
Xiao Wu asked, "Is this how you bear the resentment of the Moo Spring Ox, the Dancing Winter Rabbit, and the Wind Autumn Sparrow? Was the process very painful?"
"Well, how should I put it? Maybe my soul is strong enough that I don't feel anything."
Zhou Qing said with a Versailles-like air, "At that time, the expression on the Moo Spring Ox Dancing Winter Rabbit, I only touched them, and they didn't hold any grudges against me... As for the Wind Autumn Sparrow, although the one I chose had a cultivation level of 6,500 years, it was old and frail. Now it can live another life in my body, and I'm overjoyed."
Soul Beast also have a lifespan limit. They need to constantly accumulate cultivation to strengthen their physique and complete evolution, rather than living indefinitely without illness or disaster.
If one is sick or suffers from disaster, it is even more difficult to survive.
Zhou Qing's Third Spirit Ring originated from Wind Autumn Sparrow, who had been injured, which slowed down his cultivation speed and prevented him from breaking through his cultivation level, thus reaching the limit of his lifespan.
When Zhou Qing killed it, there was a hint of gratitude in its eyes, as if it was thanking him for relieving it of its suffering.
"In short, if Soul Beast chooses the old, weak, sick, or disabled, it will face this step much more easily in the future, right?"
Tang San concluded, but he also wondered what kind of situation he would encounter when facing this step in the future. After all, Wolf Bristle Grass, Emerald Fern, and Spirit Nurturing Flower are all Plant Soul Beast. Although they have intelligence, they do not have any offensive power. How will they attack his Spiritual Will?
Zhou Qing felt that Tang San was worrying unnecessarily.
With the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, why would he need to worry about the retaliation of Plant Soul Beast? As long as he reveals his identity, he can win their hearts and minds.
"And what about me?"
Xiao Wu was a little worried. Her Soul Ring were all condensed using her cultivation from her "previous life." What soul fragments could possibly be inside her Soul Ring?
"As for you, we'll have to see how things go at that time. After all, if your Soul Ring can also generate Soft Bone Rabbit in your Inner Scenery, it might indirectly prove the essence of the Soul Ring."
What is the essence of Soul Ring?
Zhou Qing doesn't fully understand it yet, but he knows that its components include the cultivation level and skills of the Soul Beast, and that it was processed according to the rules of the Douluo Continent.
If Xiao Wu's future Soul Ring can evolve into Soft Bone Rabbit in the Inner Scenery World, then it is very likely that the essence of condensing Soul Ring will be that cultivation is only the energy supply, and what is really important is the soul of the Soul Beast... no, it should be that just the aura is enough. Under the influence of the rules, it will work together with cultivation to construct an energy circuit that can be accepted and used by human Martial Soul.
As for the Soul Bone...
The underlying principle is probably similar, but further research will be needed after encountering more Soul Bone in the future.
Buzz—
While cultivating, Dugu Bo's face was tense, his Meridians trembled, and his skin swelled, but then quickly contracted again. This back and forth continued for a total of nine times.
Then, Dugu Bo's originally aged skin became smooth, and his dark green hair transformed into a jade-like appearance. His upper body clothing was tattered, and a jade-green Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor coiled around his body...
