New Cultivation Method

A ball of golden-red light exploded, then slowly condensed into a golden-red mass.

A tiny golden figure appeared within that golden-red mass.

The sea of green flames below was affected, beginning to take on a crystalline, translucent luster.

Wisps of white airflow hovered on the surface of the Sea of Consciousness, and in the blink of an eye, the Sea of Consciousness expanded a hundredfold.

The spiritual power that had been incredibly full just a moment ago was now reduced to a thin layer, clinging to the bottom of the sea.

The green flames vanished.

But Mu Han could sense that the corrosive and fire attributes had not disappeared; they had completely fused.

In the past, Mu Han's spiritual power possessed both corrosive and fire attributes simultaneously.

That was why it had manifested in the form of green flames, but they had remained two distinct attributes nonetheless.

Yet now, his spiritual power had undergone another qualitative change.

Although he remained at the Spirit Abyss Realm, his spiritual power had bypassed the Spirit Domain Realm and reached the God Origin Realm directly.

Normally, spiritual power cultivation can only be improved step by step.

After reaching the Spirit Domain Realm, one must first comprehend their own spiritual domain, and then continuously accumulate power until, finally, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, reaching the so-called God Origin Realm.

But now, Mu Han had skipped the process of quantitative change, completing the qualitative change directly and successfully transforming his spiritual consciousness into divine consciousness.

This was because he had just successfully touched upon, and even grasped, a domain belonging to the gods.

"Fortune follows misfortune."

Back then, the Ultimate Ice within the body of Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao had been too strong, eventually reaching the point of Ultimate Fire through the principle of fortune following misfortune.

Mu Han had also once converted ice into fire, but that had not been a case of fortune following misfortune.

It was due to the dual ice and fire attributes of the Vermilion Clear Ice Toad.

However, even back then, Mu Han had begun to gain insights into this power.

Now, he had obtained the Heart of the Ice God, an artifact-level treasure.

In the process of refining it, Mu Han attempted to directly convert the power of that Ultimate Ice into Ultimate Fire.

His spiritual power had also undergone a qualitative change, transforming directly from spiritual consciousness into divine consciousness.

In truth, Ultimate Fire alone was not enough to cause his spiritual power to undergo such a transformation.

The process of fortune following misfortune was the key!

Possessing both fire and corrosive attributes simultaneously did not mean the two had merged into one.

In the past, the two attributes in Mu Han's spiritual power were roughly balanced at fifty-fifty.

His spiritual power was inherently fire-attributed, but because he had fused a head bone from an Evil Eye Tyrant that was primarily corrosive with a secondary fire attribute, the two attributes had been evenly split at the time.

Now, Mu Han's spiritual power had evolved from spiritual consciousness into divine consciousness.

The two attributes of his spiritual power had finally merged into one.

Furthermore, toxic fire and fire poison are different things.

Fire poison refers to toxins with fire attributes, such as the fire poison of the Vermilion Clear Ice Toad.

The Infernal Delicate Apricot also contains intense fire poison within its body.

But toxic fire is fire that carries toxins.

Mu Han's spiritual power was now this kind of toxic fire.

And the toxin was of the corrosive variety!

He did not know how long that ethereal feeling lasted, but as he gradually regained consciousness, his body felt as if it had become transparent.

The soul power in his dantian swirled back and forth, actually forming a Soul Power Vortex.

Within the vortex, the soul power had completely turned into liquid, rotating quietly.

All the energy within his body seemed to have acquired a sense of order.

Had he actually condensed a Soul Power Vortex?

He certainly knew what this was; it was the standard hallmark of a seven-ring Soul Saint.

In fact, the Fatui were able to mass-produce seven-ring Soul Saints precisely because they had found a way to rapidly create a Soul Core.

When the first Soul Spirit reaches the thousand-year level, it can provide the first three soul rings.

The second Soul Spirit is the life-bound Soul Spirit.

When the second Soul Spirit reaches the ten-thousand-year level, it will also naturally condense a Soul Core.

Since this Soul Core can be used by other soul masters, it allowed them to reach the seven-ring Soul Saint level in a short period of time.

Mu Han, however, did not use such a method.

He chose to cultivate normally.

Under normal cultivation, most people wait until they reach Level 69 before attempting to condense one.

A very small number of heaven-gifted prodigies condense it earlier, but for the vast majority, it is a matter for after Level 60.

Even the strongest person on Douluo Planet today, Heaven-Propping Douluo Yun Ming, only completed his at Level 59.

The protagonist of the original work, Tang Wulin, also only completed his at Level 53.

But Mu Han is currently only Level 50, not even having his fifth soul ring; he is merely a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor.

This means his degree of soul power compression far exceeds that of an ordinary person, as does his understanding of his own soul power.

Next, as long as he attaches his second soul spirit, Mu Han can reach Level 60 or even Level 70 in a short period of time.

This is the advantage that the Soul Power Vortex can bring.

However, Mu Han also knows that his Soul Power Vortex is a shortcut.

The Soul Power Vortexes of others are the embryonic forms of a Soul Core.

Yet, this Soul Power Vortex of Mu Han's is the "remnant" of a Soul Core.

Before the Heart of the Ice God reached its nadir and began to recover, it was already considered his Soul Core.

It only disappeared after that reversal of fortune.

In the end, the powers of ice and fire fused to form the power of wind.

It is not the Wind Eye soul skill produced after removing water, fire, and earth from the four elements.

Rather, it is the power of wind truly condensed through the temperature difference between ice and fire.

Generally speaking, the attribute of a Soul Power Vortex depends on the attribute of one's soul power.

Whatever attribute the soul power has, the Soul Power Vortex will have that same attribute.

But for Mu Han, it is the other way around; because the Soul Power Vortex is wind-attributed, his soul power has also become wind-attributed.

However, this has also allowed Mu Han to discover a new path.

Although he cannot be certain yet, he already has inspiration.

It just so happens that he is currently at Shrek Academy.

Most of the Six-Ring Soul Emperors at Shrek Academy have already condensed a Soul Power Vortex.

When Mu Han proposed recruiting some volunteers, they all agreed.

After all, this is a good opportunity to get closer to Mu Han.

Moreover, there is no fear of danger.

With Holy Spirit Douluo at Shrek Academy, as long as one does not directly self-destruct, one will not die even if there is a backlash.

And with the help of so many volunteers, Mu Han quickly proved his hypothesis.

Using one's own Soul Power Vortex as a furnace to fuse and temper external objects, thereby strengthening one's own soul power.

So-called external objects are generally some heaven-sent treasures.

Normally, absorbing heaven-sent treasures is nothing more than strengthening oneself or one's martial soul.

But according to Mu Han's theory, refining heaven-sent treasures through the Soul Power Vortex can also improve the attributes of soul power.

Simply put, it is to fuse some other substances into one's own soul power, thereby causing one's soul power to undergo a transformation.

However, only a Soul Power Vortex can integrate the essence of external objects into soul power.

Otherwise, using them normally is no different from just consuming them.

The reason why no one has discovered this for so many years

is because there is no time.

People who can condense a Soul Power Vortex see their cultivation speed advance by leaps and bounds.

They all rush to condense a Soul Core as quickly as possible and then break through to become a Seven-Ring Soul Saint.

Under normal circumstances, who would go and study these fancy things?

Only in a special situation like Mu Han's would one discover these things by chance.

And only Mu Han would go and study these things.
