Drawing the Bloodline Circulation Diagram Mu Yuan had outlined, Du Busi fell into thought.
At this moment, even he, a rank ninety-eight Super Douluo who cultivated Poison Arts, felt the urge to give it a try.
Thinking back to the scene three days ago, his heart began to pound, as though he had returned to that sensation of his bloodline roaring.
That was right. When Mu Yuan had condensed Bloodline Power, although Du Busi had not been closest to the Cauldron, he had still been affected by those bloodline fluctuations.
"This time, our Body Sect will rise to another level," Du Busi murmured.
Although the major problem of condensing Bloodline Power had yet to be solved—making it still impossible to greatly bolster a Soul Master's bloodline foundation in the early stages, before they had many Soul Rings and before there were many "impurities" in their bloodline—it gave the Body Sect's high-level Soul Masters hope of gradually breaking free from the troubles caused by those "impurities."
Those who had not followed the Path of Bloodline could now make up for this deficiency. Their strength would inevitably rise to another level, and their potential would be further unleashed as well.
Its significance was extraordinary.
Take a Soul Saint, for example. Their cultivation had basically reached its end, with no hope in sight. But if they condensed Bloodline Power now, then with bloodline and Soul Power driving each other forward, they might break through another bottleneck and become an eight-ringed Soul Douluo. Even after reaching eight rings, the increased strength of their martial soul could nourish their bloodline, making it stronger. If their Eighth Soul Ring also specifically enhanced the corresponding part of their martial soul and their bloodline, they would have a chance to continue cultivating to nine rings.
The cultivation of a Body Martial Soul formed a positive cycle. Its starting point was merely low, but its underlying mechanism was undoubtedly exceptionally powerful.
As long as the mechanism remained unchanged, it would always be T0.
Perhaps some Body Martial Souls would still be limited by how vital their corresponding body part was, which determined the level of their potential.
However, with Bloodline Power added to the equation, that influence could be greatly reduced.
As long as Bloodline Power was condensed, it would be compatible with a Body Martial Soul.
Limbs, torso, Internal Organs—which of them could not benefit from bloodline enhancement?
As for the brain, it involved the Mental Attribute. Its potential depended less on the strength of the head itself and more on one's talent in Mental Power.
With Mu Yuan passing down the Bloodline Furnace Method, the entire Body Sect entered a period of intense cultivation.
From Sect Master Du Busi down to disciples who had only just joined, everyone was attempting bloodline cultivation.
The elders above Soul Saint level could basically sense changes in their own bloodline. With the aid of Medicinal Baths, they could stir their bloodline and advance along the bloodline circulation route of the Bloodline Furnace.
Below that, it came down to talent.
The chances of the many disciples successfully condensing Bloodline Power were not high, but they all gave it a try nonetheless.
The Medicinal Baths they had prepared were nowhere near enough, so the Body Sect was still increasing its purchases of all kinds of medicinal herbs.
This time, it was the Heaven Soul Royal Family that helped gather a batch. Otherwise, the Body Sect could have assembled the herbs themselves, but it would inevitably have delayed them.
That would undoubtedly disrupt the atmosphere within the sect, and the results might suffer as well.
After all, cultivation did not depend solely on oneself. The surrounding environment also had a considerable influence.
While the disciples cultivated, Mu Yuan was also exploring bloodline cultivation.
"Bloodline Power is inherently filled with Yang Gang properties. It is naturally compatible with Vajra Power and Heavenly Thunder Power."
A faint golden radiance emanated from Mu Yuan's entire body. Vajra Power circulated within him, nearly merging with his Bloodline Power, while some of it seeped slightly beyond his body and formed ripples of intertwined crimson and gold energy.
"Previously, I could already unleash Vajra Power and bloodline through my right fist. Now that I have condensed Bloodline Power, allowing the two forces to merge within my body is only natural."
Previously, he had worried that Vajra Power would contaminate his bloodline. Now, there was no need for such concern.
Bloodline Power had already been condensed.
Any imprint from an external trait was now nourishment for Bloodline Power.
Mu Yuan's expression turned solemn.
He focused completely, not daring to relax in the slightest.
Pressing his Hands together, faint thunder rumbled from between his palms. Of the three Soul Rings—yellow, purple, and purple—circling outside his body, the third Soul Ring flickered faintly.
Heavenly Thunder Power erupted from his palms and entered his body.
Bloodline Power merged with Vajra Power, carrying Heavenly Thunder Power as it flowed through his body.
"Bloodline Furnace, refine!"
Mu Yuan activated the Bloodline Furnace Method. This time, what he intended to refine was precisely that golden lightning.
Although both were formed from Soul Power, Vajra Power and Heavenly Thunder Power were fundamentally different. Vajra Power was generated within Mu Yuan's body and suited his flesh, allowing it to naturally merge into his body and strengthen it. Heavenly Thunder Power was the opposite. It was transformed outside his body, formed from Mu Yuan's Soul Power merging with a portion of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy and absorbing a portion of the power of heaven and earth.
Mu Yuan's goal in cultivating Heavenly Thunder Power was to draw Heavenly Thunder into his body. Whether it was to gain further control over Heavenly Thunder Power or to temper his body with lightning, drawing Heavenly Thunder into his body was an indispensable step.
Previously, with only Vajra Power protecting him, Mu Yuan had not dared to attempt it rashly. He could only keep controlling Heavenly Thunder Power outside his body.
Now that his bloodline had been condensed, he had a certain degree of confidence.
Bloodline Power transformed into a furnace within his body, refining the wisp of Heavenly Thunder Power Mu Yuan had brought into himself.
With just that single wisp, wrapped in his bloodline and Vajra Power, it circulated through all the Meridians in his body for a full nine Grand Circulations before gradually merging into Mu Yuan's flesh.
If not for the fact that Heavenly Thunder Power contained a portion of Mu Yuan's own Soul Power, he estimated that he would have been completely incapable of refining it.
It was far too forceful and tyrannical.
"Continue. After cultivating for about another month, once Bloodline Power has initially merged with Vajra Power and Heavenly Thunder Power, I'll draw in the Malevolent Qi of the Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife."
Mu Yuan took a deep breath, his gaze more solemn than ever.
His plans were exceptionally cautious because he held the Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife in the highest respect.
Thinking of the engraving knife, Mu Yuan could not help thinking of Soul Engineer cultivation.
"I can't let my studies as a Soul Engineer fall behind."
His gaze deepened as Mu Yuan considered his current situation.
In the original work, Huo Yuhao had basically set aside his Soul Tool cultivation in the later stages. But that was because he had not spent time and effort on it. After reaching the God Realm, he had still made up for his Soul Tool research and even developed the so-called Death Ray Tower.
Mu Yuan did not dare claim that he had more spare time and energy.
But he had to find a way to improve himself in parallel.
Huo Yuhao could set aside Soul Tools, a system that could progress alongside and simultaneously enhance his strength. Certainly, that was partly because his strength had already far surpassed those of the same rank, but it also had much to do with the fact that his future path had always been smooth and unobstructed.
Not everyone was a Child of Destiny, noticed by Tang San and arranged with a future path to godhood.
Mu Yuan was not certain whether Tang San would allow him, a Body Sect disciple opposed to Shrek, to ascend to the God Realm.
Considering everything from the worst possible angle and preparing countermeasures in advance was the only thing he could do.
At the very least, before becoming a god, it was an additional means of raising his upper limit in combat strength beyond Soul Power cultivation.
"The Soul Engineer environment in the Heaven Dou Empire—or rather, throughout the Douluo Three Kingdoms—is not good. At most, they have the most basic Soul Tool framework. Their high-level Soul Tool theories are incomplete, and even their low-level Soul Tool techniques lack refinement. They lag far behind the Sun Moon Empire."
