Diamond Domain, Thoughts on Soul Cores! (Request Monthly Ticket)

Yue Guan nodded.

"Immortal herbs are far too important. If the Pope finds out, I'm afraid I won't get any."

"This time, I'll only bring back the information about whale rubber. As for the immortal herbs, wait until I find another chance to come see you, then give them to me."

After a pause, he took out a card and a book.

"Teacher doesn't have much to give you. There are one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins on this card. It's unregistered, so you can use it however you like."

"Also, this book contains records I have painstakingly compiled over the years on all kinds of spirit medicines, immortal grasses, and Plant Martial Souls. It may be of some use to you."

"Oh, right. Doesn't your Martial Soul need Plant-type Martial Souls to be planted?"

"Can you plant my Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum now?"

Lu Duzhou nodded.

"I should be able to."

His Land Martial Soul had limited carrying capacity, but after obtaining his Third Soul Skill, Stomach of the Earth, the land's memory had stored the Life Force of dozens of Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts.

He even dared to raise a tangible Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor. A Martial Soul Projection of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum would not be much of a problem.

Seeing his confidence, Yue Guan immediately began planting the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in an open patch of land according to Lu Duzhou's instructions.

In an instant, an immense source energy emerged and fused into his Land Martial Soul.

Lu Duzhou felt that his Cultivation Speed had increased by at least twenty percent.

His Cultivation Speed was already extremely fast. Even a Plant-type Martial Soul with Innate Soul Power at rank eight could only provide him with limited improvement.

For it to increase by twenty percent directly, it truly deserved to be called an immortal-grade Martial Soul.

Of course, its most remarkable aspect was the Soul Skill it produced.

Diamond Domain. Within the domain's range, all Soul Skills gained the Diamond Attribute. Defensive Soul Skills gained enhanced defense, while offensive Soul Skills gained increased attack power, with the effects doubled.

After activating the domain, the Physical Body gained the Diamond Body effect. At its current stage, it could ignore all physical damage from anyone below a Rank Ninety-five Super Douluo.

From the moment he obtained the Soul Skill Diamond Domain, his soul passively gained the Diamond Attribute. He could currently ignore all Mental Soul Skills below the Title Douluo level, including but not limited to illusions and Soul Shock.

With this Soul Skill, Lu Duzhou no longer had to fear the Soul Shock generated by Soul Rings from Soul Beasts below one hundred thousand years.

It also provided an extremely obvious increase to his Combat power.

Immunity to physical damage would leave Strength-type Soul Masters with nothing to do but stare helplessly.

In fact, purely Energy Attack Soul Skills were rare. Most Soul Skills converted energy into physical damage.

No matter what Soul Master he faced, the damage Lu Duzhou received would be drastically reduced.

Not to mention that he could also apply the Diamond Attribute.

After applying the Diamond Attribute to his Vine Dragon Soul Skill, Lu Duzhou felt that as long as he had enough time to create a sufficiently large Vine Dragon, he could now contend with a Soul Douluo.

Lu Duzhou suddenly thought of something and asked:

"Teacher, I heard that you and Ghost Douluo have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill called the Two Elements Stillness Domain. Could you tell me about it?"

Yue Guan asked in surprise:

"This Martial Soul Fusion Skill requires the two attributes of Extremely Rigid and Extremely Soft to complete. Even if I explain it to you, you won't be able to understand it!"

Hearing this, Lu Duzhou became even more interested.

He now had the Diamond Domain, along with the Blue Silver Domain he had acquired earlier. Wasn't that one Extremely Rigid and one Extremely Soft?

Perhaps he truly could use such a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

No, if he used it himself, it should be called a Domain Fusion Skill.

"Teacher, once you leave this time, I don't know when I'll be able to see you again. Please tell me about it!"

Upon hearing that, Yue Guan immediately stopped overthinking it. Whatever Lu Duzhou wanted to hear, he would explain.

After all, this Yingmeng Xiantu of his was truly too lovable.

He had already felt that he owed this student a great deal. Now that he could teach him a little knowledge, it could be considered making up for some of that debt.

Lu Duzhou mainly asked about two things.

One was the Two Extremes Stillness Domain, while the other concerned Soul Cores.

The concept of Soul Cores was still very vague in this era.

Yet Energy Cores were something every Title Douluo and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast possessed.

Dugu Bo had condensed a Dan Bead, while Yue Guan had condensed a Flower Heart.

These could be considered embryonic Soul Cores.

The Title Douluos of this era did not yet have the concept of actively condensing Soul Cores, so breaking through to Title Douluo was even more difficult. The formation of an Energy Core depended entirely on passive accumulation, leaving the cores incomplete and riddled with flaws.

The most obvious flaw was incomplete energy containment.

The Adamantine Force in Yue Guan's Flower Heart would leak out, weakening the power of his Soul Skills when he used them.

Dugu Bo's Dan Bead leaked Snake Venom, leaving him tormented by Martial Soul Poison even after reaching the Title Douluo level.

Normally, reaching Title Douluo meant gaining complete control over one's Soul Power, but Dugu Bo clearly could not achieve that.

As a result, not only was he poisoned himself, but he was also unable to advance any further.

The earlier one condensed a Soul Core, the greater the benefits to cultivation.

Contained Soul Power meant greater control, greater storage capacity, and higher quality.

The advantage in battles between opponents of the same level was obvious.

Yet even twenty thousand years later, Soul Masters on Douluo Continent only gained the ability to initially condense Soul Cores after reaching the Soul Sage level.

The requirements for Soul Power quality and quantity were far beyond what Lu Duzhou, a Level Forty "Three-Ring Soul Ancestor" who had yet to obtain a Soul Ring, could meet.

However, he still had immortal herbs to assist in condensing Soul Cores.

Moreover, the Soul Skill Earth Vein Breathing could continuously replenish his Soul Power. In theory, as long as his Spiritual Power improved a little further, he might have a chance of success.

Furthermore, he planned to condense two Soul Cores at once.

Possessing dual cores was a prerequisite for breaking through to a Level Ninety-nine Limit Douluo.

There were two possible paths: Same Frequency Resonance and Yin Yang Complementarity.

Lu Duzhou now possessed the Diamond Domain and Blue Silver Domain, one Extremely Rigid and one Extremely Soft. As long as he could comprehend the workings of the Two Elements Stillness Domain, he might be able to use the characteristics of Yin Yang Complementarity to make up for his insufficient Spiritual Power and lack of control.

His Physical Body was completely strong enough.

His body had also undergone Ice and Fire Body Refining, and still retained the Medicinal Strength of two conflicting immortal herbs.

This was also the foundation for condensing Yin Yang Dual Cores.

All things considered, what he lacked was knowledge.

Even Title Douluos knew little about such knowledge.

He would have to study it carefully himself.

After Yue Guan left, Lu Duzhou helped Ye Yurou up and released the Soul Skill Sacred Heart Healing.

A gentle white light flashed, and Ye Yurou slowly woke up.

When she saw Lu Duzhou, she froze for a moment before recalling how she had suddenly been knocked unconscious.

"Aunt, you were kidnapped just now. Lingling came to find me, and I told that person the secret of the whale rubber. He has already left."

"Let's go back first! Lingling is still waiting for us."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yurou immediately said guiltily:

"I'm sorry, Xiao Zhou. Aunt was the one who put you in danger."

Lu Duzhou quickly comforted her:

"Aunt, I'm the one who should apologize. That person kidnapped you because of my secret."

"It seems it isn't safe for you to live outside. From now on, you and Lingling should live with us!"
