A moment later, Electrolux moved to the side, casually picked out a Soft Bone Rabbit, and continued with the day's research.

Before that, however, Electrolux handed Kong Ming'an a Luminous White Soul Ring.

Within that Soul Ring was the Soul Skill Module capable of opening the Undead Demiplane.

Looking at the Soul Ring in his hand, Kong Ming'an unconsciously let out a soft sigh.

"So much to do... I wonder if I can still keep up with the plan I made before..."

So far, the research into Soul Ring Self-Editing and Reconstruction was roughly halfway complete. The self-editing portion was basically settled.

Electrolux could already independently condense specific Soul Skill Modules within a Soul Ring. Those nine special gray Soul Rings were the fruits of his research.

Kong Ming'an was slightly behind in progress and would need some time to catch up. To sum it up, there were four points.

First, become familiar with every Soul Skill Module within a Soul Ring and reach the point of using all of them flexibly.

This was the foundation of foundations. If one could not even accomplish this... then they probably were not suited for this method. They might as well take the path of a Body Cultivator; that did not require brains, only body refinement.

Second, after excavating every usable Soul Skill Module within a Soul Ring, remove all the useless memories belonging to the Soul Beast, thereby releasing the Soul Ring's carrying capacity to the fullest extent.

This would lay the foundation for subsequent self-editing of Soul Rings.

Third, after becoming completely familiar with the Soul Ring Modules, attempt to independently "construct" Soul Skill Modules, thereby using the corresponding Soul Skills without relying on Soul Rings.

Once this was achieved, Soul Rings would no longer be a restriction on Soul Masters. Only then could the efficiency of utilizing Soul Rings reach its true limit.

Fourth, this was an extension of the third point.

Once one could independently "construct" Soul Skill Modules, remove every Soul Skill Module from the Soul Ring and fully release its carrying capacity.

At that point, one could construct and add Soul Skill Modules into the Soul Ring according to one's own ideas, thus completely accomplishing the self-editing of Soul Rings.

Of course, some might ask: if one could already use Soul Skills without relying on Soul Rings, why was there any need to construct and add Soul Skill Modules to Soul Rings?

Wasn't that redundant?

Ming's answer to that was... how could it possibly be redundant?

Suppose a Soul Ring had a carrying limit of 100, and adding one Fireball Technique Soul Skill Module required one point of capacity.

Then one could directly add a hundred Fireball Technique Soul Skill Modules to the Soul Ring!

Soul Masters needed time to construct modules on the spot, but by drawing upon a Soul Ring, they could cast them instantly!

A hundred Fireball Techniques to the face in an instant!

Of course, perhaps someone would say that a hundred Fireball Techniques were useless. Still mediocre!

Indeed, the Fireball Technique was not very useful, but... what if it were a Soul Skill Module like Invincible Golden Body?

What if a Soul Ring carried a hundred Invincible Golden Body Soul Skill Modules?

A hundred chances to use Invincible Golden Body—how much room for error would that give a Soul Master?

Moreover, each Soul Skill Module existed independently, and so did its cooldown. In theory, as long as there were enough modules, one could create a cycle!

Of course, someone might ask about Soul Power consumption. Whose Soul Power could sustain such enormous expenditure? What was the point of having so many Soul Skills? Wouldn't they still be impractical?

Naturally, Kong Ming'an had considered that.

Not enough Soul Power? Wasn't a Soul Ring itself a massive energy-storage ring?

Using Soul Skills would not consume the Soul Master's own Soul Power, but the energy stored within the Soul Ring itself!

Letting the Soul Ring become "self-sufficient" in a certain sense!

And this was the second path Kong Ming'an had developed after the Body Cultivator path.

Kong Ming'an named it—"Law Cultivator."

"Compared with Body Cultivators, the threshold for Law Cultivators is more than a little higher, and there are who knows how many more methods available... Tsk, a Law Cultivator really is still the boss..."

Kong Ming'an chuckled, then gradually reined in his thoughts and stopped letting his mind wander.

Stretching lazily, he sat down on a meditation cushion beside him, summoned his Soul Ring and placed it around himself, then closed his eyes.

Hmm... let's set myself a small goal.

Before leaving seclusion, I'll become proficient in using every Soul Skill Module within my Soul Ring and imprint the Soul Skill Module that opens the Undead Demiplane onto my Soul Ring!

Meanwhile, elsewhere,

Mingdu, inside an ordinary tavern,

Two figures sat by a second-floor window, eating and drinking as they watched the bustling street below.

They were Da Ming and Er Ming, who had been ordered by a certain God King to kill Ming.

"Big Brother, that little bastard sent someone with another letter."

Er Ming slapped a letter onto the table with a disgusted tone. Its contents roughly questioned why they had not yet dealt with Ming and urged them to hurry, otherwise he should not blame him for turning hostile.

Da Ming's gaze remained calm as he said evenly to Er Ming, "Watch your words. He is still a God King."

Er Ming curled his lip. "God King? What kind of God King is he? For the past three months, all he's done is keep pushing us from behind, sending us to die while he sits back there all high and mighty..."

Da Ming glanced at Er Ming, merely shook his head, and said faintly:

"...We are Soul Beasts, but in essence, we have already reached the level of gods. According to the rules of the God Realm, he can kill us whenever he wishes, and no one will stop him.

"To him... we are ants."

Er Ming fell silent. Without saying anything, he simply continued drinking in sullen silence.

Da Ming sighed and abruptly asked, "Have you found out where that 'Kong Ming'an' is?"

"No." Er Ming said, "His information seems to have been deliberately concealed. There were rumors before that he would go to the Sun Moon Barracks, but after investigating, they all turned out to be false."

"Is that so... Then we've done our best. There's nothing we can do if we can't find him."

Da Ming let out a faint sigh of relief.

Since Tang San had a legitimate reason to kill them at any time, even though his Divine Sense was not within their Spiritual Seas, they still had no choice but to come to Mingdu and carry out his task.

Fortunately, heaven never sealed off every road. After several tests, he had basically confirmed that Tang San could no longer keep his gaze fixed upon the Douluo Plane as he once had. At most, he could only glance over occasionally.

That gave them plenty of room to maneuver. For more than a year and a half, they had forcibly dragged things out like this.

So long as the target did not appear directly before them, or Tang San did not force them to act immediately, they would continue delaying for as long as possible.

He had a powerful intuition.

If they kept dragging things out like this, they could probably stay alive for a while longer, until a certain God King's patience was completely exhausted.

But if they directly attacked the target... there would probably be no good outcome...

They would just let nature take its course.
