As Luo Can finished his cultivation, the Energy Tide surrounding him slowly dissipated, and the immortal Immortal Herb and Spirit Beast that had surrounded him seemed to awaken from a dream, retreating and going about their own business.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion stretched and yawned contentedly. "Slept so well... I feel like my cultivation has increased a little more."
The Scarlet King's three heads nodded simultaneously. " The Auspicious Beast is right. These few days of cultivation here are equivalent to several years of hard work in ordinary times."
Xiong Da had already trotted off to the lake and was returning to the bottom to guard the Holy Spirit Gold.
Luo Can watched their departing figures and smiled helplessly. Ever since they discovered that cultivating near him had a "bonus effect," these guys had been coming to "mooch" cultivation every day without fail, and he couldn't get rid of them no matter what.
After leaving the Lake Heart Island, he returned to the Wooden House by the lake. As soon as he opened the door, Qian Renxue and Ju Zi walked in side by side.
Upon seeing the two women, Luo Can didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Tomorrow, I will go into seclusion to try and reach level ninety-nine."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue and Ju Zi were both taken aback.
Level 99 Limit Douluo is the highest peak for Spirit Master on the Douluo Continent. Overview the entire continent, countless exceptionally talented Spirit Master have devoted hundreds of years to arduous cultivation, yet they may never be able to touch this threshold in their entire lives. However, their husbands, who are not yet forty years old, have already stood at the gate of the continent's pinnacle.
Qian Renxue stared intently at him, then softly asked, "Are you completely ready?"
"Yes." Luo Can nodded, extremely confident, "During this time, I have thoroughly consolidated the power of the Dual Soul Cores, and all preparations... are complete."
As he spoke, he extended his right hand, and two items appeared in his palm.
The first item was a translucent, pure white pill, resembling warm jade, which was the Qiankun Creation Pill he had obtained Fishing some time ago.
The second item was an exquisite Jade Bottle containing Sisi clear, emerald-gold liquid. Wisps of ultimate life energy emanated from it, and simply being near it made one's meridians feel smooth and refreshed. This was the pure Life Essence Liquid he had condensed by repeatedly refining the Life Gold with the water of the Fate-Defying Lake Water.
Qian Renxue and Ju Zi had experienced firsthand the miraculous effects of these two treasures. Previously, they had only consumed a small amount of the Qiankun Creation Pill's medicinal power, yet they had successfully broken through their bottlenecks and greatly increased their cultivation levels, which was enough to demonstrate the terrifying power of its full effects.
The moment Qian Renxue saw the two treasures clearly, she was completely relieved. "It seems we were overthinking it. With such divine objects blessing you, your breakthrough will be absolutely guaranteed."
Ju Zi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she affectionately took Luo Can's arm. " A-Can! Since we're going into seclusion to break through tomorrow, let's celebrate properly tonight!"
"That's a good idea," Qian Renxue immediately agreed.
So, surrounded by the two women, the three entered the inner room and began a unique "exchange of life experiences".
The next day, the sun rose at dawn.
Luo Can walked out of the Wooden House in high spirits. After a night's rest, he was in peak physical and mental condition.
"Next, I will officially go into seclusion to push my limits!"
He entered the secluded Stone Chamber, and the heavy stone door slowly closed behind him, isolating him from the outside world.
In the center of the Stone Chamber, he took out the Qiankun Creation Pill and the Elixir of Life.
Luo Can sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath, and cleared his mind of all distractions.
He first swallowed the Qiankun Creation Pill.
The pill melted upon entering the mouth, instantly transforming into a surging torrent of golden energy that swept through the limbs and bones, the pure energy cleansing every inch of the meridians.
Luo Can immediately activated the Yin-Yang Dual Soul Cores within his body, with the two ultimate soul powers operating in sync, rapidly refining the continuous stream of medicinal power.
Now he has already opened up all the Eight Extraordinary Meridians in his body, and with the foundation of the peak level 98, compared to when half a pill helped him make great progress, the process of refining the Qiankun Creation Pill is now much smoother.
The Vastness soul power crashed against the bottleneck of level 98 time and time again. The Yin and Yang Dual Soul Cores Everlasting, continuously replenishing the soul power and enabling him to continue to break through the bottleneck.
After the medicinal power had been mostly refined, Luo Can raised his hand, took out Jade Bottle, and drank all of the Life Essence Liquid.
In an instant, an extremely powerful Life Force swept through his body, perfectly merging with the spiritual power of the Qiankun Creation Pill!
"Boom--!"
The bottleneck at level ninety-eight shattered under the combined blessing of the two divine artifacts and the violent impact of Yin-Yang soul power!
The restraints were broken, and a surge of immense soul power instantly erupted, engulfing his entire body.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Can's aura underwent a qualitative leap, rising higher and higher until he completely stepped into the highest realm of Spirit Master —level ninety-nine!
With the breakthrough in his cultivation level, his martial spirit also underwent a complete and transformative metamorphosis.
The Golden Dragon Moth Martial Soul, whose original form was somewhere between a moth and a dragon, has now completely shed all its moth-like characteristics. Its entire body is shimmering with gold, its dragon scales are crystal clear, its dragon horns are majestic and imposing, its dragon body is stretched out and domineering, and its dragon might is overwhelming!
This is no longer an ordinary Golden Dragon, but Golden Dragon Emperor that surpasses even true dragons and is incomparably noble!
At the same time, the soul power within the body was completely solidified and sublimated, breaking free from the shackles of mortal soul power and transforming towards a higher-dimensional law energy.
Both of their core domains have also completed their ultimate evolution!
The domains of Fate-Defying Domain and Cinder Extinction Domain have expanded infinitely, no longer limited to simple attacks, destruction, or auxiliary cultivation effects. They have also begun to touch upon the level of the rules of heaven and earth, possessing the rudiments of interfering with fate and manipulating the Destruction Law.
Moreover, his speed of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, the efficiency of soul power recovery, physical strength, and spiritual foundation have all undergone a comprehensive qualitative change!
His long-dormant Sea of Consciousness was once again sublimated during the breakthrough, and his Divine Sense became more refined and pure, allowing him to more intuitively perceive the laws of heaven and earth.
After a long while, Luo Can slowly opened his eyes, golden light swirling in them, and the Dragon Emperor's aura quietly spread out.
"This is the power of Level 99 Limit Douluo! It truly lives up to the name 'Limit Douluo'!" he exclaimed sincerely.
He can now easily defeat ten of himself at level 98.
With Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores, the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, Four-Word Battle Armor, God Level mental power, and mastery of the Ring Detonation Technique and two major law domains, his strength is enough to firmly place him in the top tier even among countless Limit Douluo across the entire continent!
"First, stabilize your realm and fully grasp all the boosts brought by the breakthrough."
With a determined mind, Luo Can closed his eyes and sat cross-legged again, focusing on consolidating the realm he had just broken through.
Evening, in the council hall of the Fate Defying Pavilion.
Holding the latest disciple resource exchange report, Ye Qingyu frowned Ye Qingyu, quickly walked into the hall, and handed the file to Qian Renxue.
" Vice Pavilion Master, another disciple has exchanged for Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. This is the second one this week."
Qian Renxue quickly flipped through the report and saw that in just a few days, many disciples had exchanged for high-level resources. Black-Grade Body Refining Pill, high-grade Soul Power Pill, and Level 5 Soul Tool had all been exchanged. All the disciples who exchanged resources had accumulated more than 5,000 Contribution Point, far exceeding expectations.
"It seems the mission to capture Spirit Beast alive has indeed motivated the disciples." Qian Renxue put down the report, a smile appearing on her face. "That's a good thing."
"Should we appropriately raise the exchange threshold for high-level resources to slow down inventory depletion?" Ye Qingyu asked.
"No need." Qian Renxue gently shook her head, her tone calm and confident. "My husband has already instructed that there are plenty of high-level resources in the pavilion, so there's no need to be stingy."
Luo Can Fishing had accumulated countless Spirit Bone, elixirs, and Soul Tool from fishing, and leaving them idle would be a waste. It would be better to use them all to cultivate the disciples of the Fate Defying Pavilion and build a large-scale, top-tier high-level Spirit Master army in the shortest possible time.
With its mature Soul Tool Mecha and Battle Armor system, coupled with a host of top-tier Spirit Beast and powerful figures within the valley, the foundation of the Fate Defying Pavilion would be enough to crush any empire or sect on the continent.
After a moment's thought, Qian Renxue added, "Let's add a long-term mission."
"The ' Unknown Region Exploration ' mission has been released, encouraging disciples to venture out and explore the continent's hidden realms and uninhabited areas, accurately draw complete terrain maps, and receive high Contribution Point based on the exploration range, danger level, and the value of the resources discovered. This mission is valid indefinitely."
Disciples cannot simply shut themselves away to cultivate; they must go out to experience and broaden their horizons, accumulate practical experience, and thus grow rapidly.
"Understood, I will arrange it immediately." Ye Qingyu bowed and accepted the order.
