Opportunity Secured, Target: Second Soul Ring!

As Elder Electrolux announced this, Ye Linyuan's body trembled violently.

At that moment.

The Soul Devouring Engraving Knife had long since vanished.

But the wound torn open on Ye Linyuan's chest did not close as the knife merged into him.

Instead, under rings of cyan light, it slowly writhed and eventually formed a strange pattern resembling a heart.

This pattern was a mix of cyan and white, with a luster seeming to flow within.

And strangely enough, this flowing luster was like a projection of a heartbeat.

Following the beat of Ye Linyuan's heart, it too contracted and expanded slightly.

With each pulse, Ye Linyuan felt his absorption of spiritual energy quicken, as if a spiritual energy pump were running continuously inside his body, aiding his cultivation.

In the short term, the effect might not be noticeable.

But over the long years, Ye Linyuan believed that his speed of cultivating soul power would definitely far surpass others by a wide margin!

After completing the heart transformation for Ye Linyuan, Elder Electrolux's divine consciousness receded like a tide, returning control of the body to Ye Linyuan.

Taking back control of his body, Ye Linyuan immediately sensed the difference.

If his previous heart was like a warm bath heater, always protecting his consciousness from the evil influence of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger eroding his reason.

Then, his current heart was like a spring brimming with life force, completely enveloping Ye Linyuan's consciousness.

Not only did it block the evil influence more thoroughly, but it even added a sacred attribute to the spring, subtly nourishing Ye Linyuan's body!

Besides the heart, Ye Linyuan's mental space had also undergone tremendous changes.

At the bottom of the originally sealed sea of consciousness, Elder Electrolux had somehow opened a channel directly to the heart.

Rich life force, like an underground spiritual spring, poured endlessly into the sea of consciousness, forming a kind of circulating flow akin to living water.

The entire sea of consciousness had not only expanded several times over but also exuded a dense life force.

Ye Linyuan could clearly feel that his mental perception, empowered by this life force, had become many times more active than before.

His entire mind was clear and sharp, and his perception was keener than ever.

Ye Linyuan was utterly stunned.

After a long moment, he gathered his thoughts and said sincerely, "Thank you, Elder, for the grace of remaking me!"

Electrolux's voice was slightly weak, clearly the transformation had consumed a great deal.

But his spirit was exceptionally uplifted, and he chuckled, "You are my disciple. As a teacher, how could I not think of my student?"

Ye Linyuan asked curiously, "Elder, what exactly is this Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart you mentioned?"

"And what difference does it have from my original Exquisite Sacred Heart?"

Electrolux chuckled lightly, his tone carrying a rare hint of pride, "The Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart, as the name implies, has nine Exquisite Orifices."

"Your original Exquisite Sacred Heart, however, only had one Exquisite Orifice. That is the greatest difference between the two."

Ye Linyuan listened in complete confusion.

Exquisite Orifice?

What did that mean?

He pressed on humbly, "Elder, what is an Exquisite Orifice? What use does it have?"

Electrolux said slowly, "You can think of an Exquisite Orifice as a medium for bearing and using power."

"Your Exquisite Sacred Heart itself is one orifice. The power it bears and controls is the sacred attribute."

"When I occupied this aperture, due to the special nature of my divine consciousness, although it still retained the capacity for tolerance, it lost the ability to control power—that is, Soul Skills."

"That's why I said back then that although you could still attach Soul Rings to this second Martial Soul in the future, you would no longer be able to possess Soul Skills."

Ye Linyuan was somewhat bewildered, "Elder, is there a connection between Soul Skills and attribute power?"

Electrolux chuckled lightly, "Of course there is."

"According to the laws of power on this continent, humans cannot comprehend and control power on their own."

"And Martial Souls are the most important medium for them to control power."

"Therefore, whatever attribute a Martial Soul has, one needs to find a Soul Ring of the corresponding attribute to maximize the Martial Soul's advantage."

"For example, a fire-attribute Martial Soul can almost never control water-attribute power."

"Unless they have Twin Martial Souls, or the Martial Soul itself possesses both fire and water attributes."

"Such laws of power impose great restrictions on Soul Masters."

At this point, Electrolux paused briefly, then continued, "My Necromancy carries a sacred attribute—it is my proudest research."

"And this sacred attribute happens to align perfectly with your Exquisite Sacred Heart."

"To some extent, every Necromancy spell you master in the future can be considered a Soul Skill with a sacred attribute."

"As for my existence, I have essentially already fused with your second martial soul, becoming a part of its power."

"Up to this stage, the laws of power you have grasped primarily consist of only two types."

"One is the evil attribute of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and the other is the sacredness of the Exquisite Sacred Heart."

"But now, it is completely different!"

Electrolux's voice suddenly grew impassioned:

"The Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart, forged from Life Gold, is equivalent to granting you eight additional mediums for controlling power."

"This means that in the future, every Soul Ring you attach to the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart can bestow upon it an extra attribute!"

"For example, if you take the Infernal Delicate Apricot from that valley as your second Soul Ring, the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart will possess a fire attribute on par with that plant."

"If you then take the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass as your third Soul Ring, you will gain an additional ice attribute of the same level."

"Should you continue and accept the Aromatic Silk Beauty, you will acquire its trait of being immune to all poisons!"

"And more importantly, once you master these attributes, the limit on the number of Soul Skills will no longer hold any meaning for you."

"The extent to which you can unleash the power of these attributes within the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart depends entirely on your comprehension of their true essence."

"The deeper your understanding, the more thorough your insight, the greater the power you can unleash."

"But even if you only grasp the surface, you will at least gain the ability to be immune to attacks of the corresponding attribute!"

After hearing Electrolux's words, Ye Linyuan was stunned to the point of numbness.

Voluntarily choosing to attach attributes to his martial soul, and also gaining immunity to attacks of those corresponding attributes?

According to Elder Yi's meaning, if he took in Youyou, Bajiao, and Ajiao all at once, he could control and become immune to the power of extreme ice and fire, including immunity to all poisons?

My god!

The Huo Gua from the original story only mastered extreme ice, spirit, and Necromancy.

But his Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart, in theory, could even grant him immunity to and control over nine different extreme attributes?

Hiss—

This Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart is far too terrifying, clearly even more monstrous than Huo Gua!
