Time Domain
"Huh?" Bo Saixi was taken aback, unsure what to say for a moment, and could only nod and say, "Okay, thank you."
Yu Mingxiao didn't pay attention to what she was thinking and simply explained the method of condensing Soul Core.
In fact, anyone with sufficient strength can condense their first Soul Core as long as they know the method.
Those Soul Master whose cultivation level is insufficient, even if they know the method, simply don't have the conditions to do it.
Bo Saixi provided him with many conveniences on Sea God Island, so he didn't mind teaching her how to condense Soul Core. Anyway, it wouldn't be transmitted to the mainland, so it wouldn't cause him any loss. At most, it would just be a matter of exchanging a few more words.
"Okay, I'm going to start."
On his advice, Bo Saixi chose to condense his first Soul Core in his lower dantian.
The lower dantian is the easiest place to condense Soul Core, and it's also the location with the lowest barrier to entry for the first Soul Core.
The cliff face had barely quieted down when it became restless again as Bo Saixi began to condense her Soul Core.
The primordial energy of heaven and earth converged on the cliff.
However, perhaps because Yu Mingxiao had absorbed too much energy earlier, much of the spiritual energy in this area had been depleted, making it somewhat thin and scarce.
Fortunately, the Soul Core did not go out of control as a result, and thanks to Bo Saixi's profound Soul Power, it maintained a stable state.
Before long, the primordial energy of heaven and earth in this area began to slowly flow back and gather.
Yu Mingxiao noticed the change and said in a deep voice, "Once the Soul Power vortex has completely solidified into a solid core, we won't need to excessively consume our own Soul Power."
"Just let the soul core absorb the surrounding heaven and earth energy. You only need to rely on your mental power to stabilize it and not lose control."
"Okay," Bo Saixi replied softly.
Before long, the Soul Power vortex completely solidified into a solid core, quietly floating in Bo Saixi's lower dantian.
After absorbing the energy of heaven and earth for a while and completely stabilizing her Soul Core, Bo Saixi stopped frantically absorbing the surrounding energy.
Yu Mingxiao asked, "Feel the changes within yourself?"
She nodded, carefully sensing the changes within her body. A smile quickly appeared on her face as she said, "My Soul Power seems much more condensed than before, and it's much easier to control."
Yu Mingxiao smiled faintly, "That's normal. Besides making your Soul Power more condensed, the greatest use of the Soul Core is that it can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own, quickly restore your Soul Power, and at the same time accelerate your cultivation speed."
Bo Saixi's eyes lit up. Although she had no rivals on Sea God Island, no one would refuse to improve their strength.
"Thank you so much! You truly deserve to be called a genius favored by the Lord Sea God. I was unable to help you, but you taught me such amazing cultivation techniques."
"It's nothing. You've taken care of me on Sea God Island, so I just said a few words offhand," Yu Mingxiao chuckled.
"This is different." Bo Saixi shook her head. "You have shown me great kindness in guiding my cultivation, and I will always remember it. Please don't call me 'senior' anymore; I really don't deserve it."
Yu Mingxiao blinked and said, "Then should I just call you by your name?"
Bo Saixi chuckled, "No problem."
"Now we need to think carefully about how to get through the Second Trial."
Yu Mingxiao walked to the edge of the cliff, looked down at the sea, and said calmly, "The tide has receded."
The tide below slowly receded, the seawater that had been crashing against the cliffs gradually receded, revealing the wet reefs and sandy beach. The sea breeze softened, and the entire sea became quiet.
Bo Saixi walked to his side, looked at the sea at their feet, and sighed softly, "The tide rises and falls, year after year, it never changes."
Yu Mingxiao seemed to understand something and continued, "But time is different. Once it's gone, it can never be brought back. It's not without trace; the ebb and flow of the tide washes over the rock walls, and every mark left is proof that time has passed."
"You're right." Bo Saixi paused for a moment, her expression shifting slightly, and then slowly nodded.
Yu Mingxiao turned around, found a flat spot, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to cultivate.
Although there was still a Second Trial, he wasn't in a hurry at all.
It would be best if he could pass naturally, but it's okay if he can't pass it right away. Anyway, there's no time limit for this assessment, and even if there were, he could afford to wait it out.
At that time Sea God's God-bestowed Spirit Ring could only be used to break through level bottlenecks and did not provide additional Soul Power.
Therefore, his Soul Power Level just reached level 91.
Of course, this overall improvement in strength is actually much greater than absorbing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's Soul Ring.
Whether it's the Soul Skill or the various enhancements, it surpasses the former.
After absorbing the Soul Ring from the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, Yu Mingxiao's Soul Power became more abundant and his physical body stronger, but his understanding of the Laws did not make any significant breakthroughs.
Having absorbed the God-bestowed Spirit Ring, he clearly sensed that his mastery of the Laws had increased dramatically.
His current understanding of the Laws is at least on par with, and perhaps even surpasses, that of Limit Douluo.
Upon seeing Bo Saixi's eyes flickered slightly, and she sat down opposite Yu Mingxiao.
Days passed by, and before you knew it, a month had gone by.
For the past month, Yu Mingxiao has stayed on this cliff top and has hardly left.
I meditate and cultivate myself every day. Occasionally, when the tide comes in, I stop and quietly observe it.
Perhaps it was because his mind had always been calm and peaceful, without arrogance or impatience, that he had accumulated a lot of fragmented insights, but he had never been able to fully integrate them.
Only today did he connect all the insights in his mind, and his mental strength unexpectedly broke through.
This means that, following his physical body, his spiritual power has also reached the God-level.
A powerful spiritual force suddenly spread out, instantly covering the entire Sea God Island.
Every rustling sound and every movement on the island was vividly imprinted in his mind.
At that very moment, all the questions that I couldn't understand or figure out before suddenly became clear.
With a thought, Yu Mingxiao's Sea of Consciousness consciousness trembled, and his spiritual power silently spread out, like ripples.
The leaves that had just been blown down by the wind have quietly returned to the branches, and the pebbles that had been broken by the sea have all been embedded back into the rock face...
A moment later, the domain could no longer sustain itself and slowly receded, retreating back into Yu Mingxiao's Sea of Consciousness.
Bo Saixi's face was filled with emotion as she said, "In those few short seconds just now, I clearly sensed the reversal of time. You... have grasped the power of time?"
Yu Mingxiao chuckled softly, "Just lucky."
Bo Saixi pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment, and then exclaimed, "Your Talent is truly extraordinary."
"It seems I can't offer you any help at all."
"By the way, did you hear the notification that you passed the Second Trial? I haven't heard anything at all."
As Bo Saixi finished speaking, she herself was filled with doubt, and couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that the Second Trial from the Lord Sea God wasn't this the actual requirement?"
"No, does this mean I haven't passed the Second Trial?" Yu Mingxiao was completely confused. He looked up at the sky, not understanding what the Sea God was up to.
Little did they know, the Sea God, far away in the Divine Realm, was completely dumbfounded.
These questions were so difficult! I originally intended to use the exam as an excuse to create an opportunity for you guys to get to know each other, but you just passed them by default?!
