The Foundation for Godhood! (Please Keep Reading!!!)

After his wandering thoughts came to an end, Xu Yuan unconsciously looked through the rest of Ji Juechen's files, including his life story and cultivation journey.

"The Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron Sword was destroyed."

Xu Yuan's gaze sharpened.

He had read the original trilogy in his previous life, along with the first half of the fourth installment, but that did not mean he remembered every detail about every character perfectly.

Thus, when it came to Ji Juechen's information, he still had to rely largely on research.

He had no recollection of Ji Juechen's Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron Sword having been destroyed.

So when he suddenly saw this experience, Xu Yuan instantly perked up, feeling that his opportunity had arrived.

"The Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron Sword was destroyed, but the Sword Heart remained, and the Sword Soul remained. From then on, the man was the sword, and the sword was the man—there was no distinction between them!" Xu Yuan's breathing quickened as he felt he had found the answer.

"I can't be as pure as Ji Juechen, with only the sword in my heart. So I can't become one with the spear, with the spear becoming me."

"But I have a Soul Spirit that can serve as a medium!"

"A vessel, a vessel..."

"Isn't my own body the best vessel?"

As that thought burst forth, Xu Yuan's mind began racing wildly, and countless ideas flooded in.

Using the Soul Spirit as a medium and his own flesh as the vessel, the Heaven Origin Spear could separate from the Heaven Origin Brush Martial Soul. It would no longer be merely a form of the Heaven Origin Brush Martial Soul, but become a Heaven Origin Spear Martial Soul.

Xu Yuan did not know how to create a new Martial Soul, but he could cultivate it into an alternative kind of Martial Soul.

After all, what he needed was simply its essential ability to gain Soul Rings and continuously grow stronger, much like a Martial Soul.

And Martial Souls were not the only things that could gain Soul Rings. Qi and blood could as well!

Or rather, the physical body.

At that moment, Xu Yuan seemed to see a way to break through the bottleneck that had been troubling his physical cultivation.

Man and Spear as One.

He would integrate the Heaven Origin Spear's form into the Five Elements Spear Spirit, then use the Spear Spirit to form a Qi and Blood Contract with his own flesh, turning it into a physical Soul Spirit!

The Heaven Origin Brush Martial Soul that remained could continue cultivating Soul Power, while the vacant Soul Spirit slot left by the Five Elements Spear Spirit could be filled with a Soul Spirit possessing the Five Elements.

As for the Brain Martial Soul...

Who said the Brain Martial Soul had to be cultivated according to the Body Martial Soul's methods?

Couldn't my Brain Martial Soul be cultivated as a spiritual Martial Soul?

The Five Elements Spear Spirit would provide an opportunity for his physical body and qi and blood to gain Soul Rings. The Brain Martial Soul would provide an opportunity for his Spiritual Power to produce Soul Rings. Then, the Heaven Origin Brush would cultivate Soul Power.

"Threefold cultivation of Essence, Qi, and Spirit. If this still isn't the foundation for godhood, then I can't think of any other way to break through and become a god in this era without a God Realm."

That was true, provided he did not consider devouring Abyss Douluo Star and advancing it into a God Level planet.

Even if Douluo Star did break through, Xu Yuan could still continue cultivating this way, achieving a higher breakthrough in Soul Power, accumulating a deeper foundation, and preparing to condense a God Position.

Xu Yuan was ambitious. He wanted too much.

But in an era like this, how could one stand out among all those cheating freaks without having great ambition?

Of course, he could be crazy, but he could not lose his reason. Although Xu Yuan had so many ideas, he still needed to ensure his own safety as much as possible before putting them into practice.

Leaving the Archive Room, Xu Yuan returned to his dormitory.

He took out his Soul Guidance Communication device and made a call.

"Hello?" Mu Ye was clearly busy. He had not expected Xu Yuan to call him at this time and sounded somewhat puzzled.

"Teacher, I want the Body Sect's secret methods for Bloodline Cultivation, as well as all materials related to bloodline cultivation and research," Xu Yuan stated his request.

"Hm? You're planning to cultivate your qi and blood, kid?" Mu Ye was visibly stunned. "Don't go experimenting on your own. Wait until I get back. Bloodline cultivation is no joke, and your body hasn't fully developed yet. Don't mess around!"

"That works too. My cultivation has indeed started involving qi and blood. Can you return within three months, Teacher?" Naturally, Xu Yuan would not refuse having someone watch over him.

As for those Pavilion Elders of the Sea God Pavilion?

Xu Yuan felt far more at ease with Mu Ye.

"Three months? Sure. I'll be back in two months. You should have passed Shrek's assessment by now, right?"

"Mm, I've already passed. Recently, I've been researching the cultivation of Body Martial Souls. Could you send me the materials?"

"When you have time, go find your martial uncle. He has them," Mu Ye said.

"Alright."

Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

After ending the call, Xu Yuan looked at the large stack of materials in his hands.

"Over the next three months, I'll suspend my Sub-Profession studies. Other than daily meditation, I'll spend all my time researching Soul Spirit contracts and sensing the opportunity to split my Martial Soul's two forms. If I make progress within a month, I'll go to Heaven Dou City and get the bloodline secret methods and materials from Martial Uncle."

On his third day cultivating in Shrek's Inner Courtyard, Xu Yuan stopped visiting the various associations. Instead, he traveled only between the dormitory and the Archive Room. Even his meals were brought back to the dormitory by Xu Lizhi.

A week later.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, our teacher is here." The little fatty's voice came from outside the door.

Xu Yuan was puzzled.

What teacher?

He opened the door.

"Brother Yuan, the academy arranged a teacher to temporarily instruct the three of us in cultivation. She's an Inner Courtyard senior sister who just graduated," Xu Lizhi quickly explained.

"A senior sister who just graduated?" Xu Yuan's furrowed brow relaxed.

That meant he probably knew who this so-called teacher was.

"Teacher wants the three of us to gather now. It seems we're going into the Sea God Pavilion!" The little fatty was extremely excited at the prospect of entering the Sea God Pavilion.

"Alright."

Xu Yuan went back inside to tidy up, then followed the little fatty to a small plaza within the Inner Courtyard.

"Hello, Teacher."

"Mm. Over the next few years, I'll be responsible for instructing the three of you in your daily cultivation. My name is Shen Yi. You can call me Teacher Shen."

Shen Yi looked at the three little ones, intending to first understand how their cultivation had progressed over the past few days since enrolling.

"How has your cultivation been these past few days?"

"Brother Yuan led us into two associations. For the past ten days, Sister Xing Lan and I have meditated and cultivated after completing tasks at the associations," Xu Lizhi said.

"Oh?" Shen Yi was surprised. "Two associations?"

"That's right. I joined the Mecha Repair Association and the Mech Master Association."

"Oh~~~" Shen Yi suddenly understood what the two associations referred to.

She looked at Xu Yuan in surprise. She had not expected this kid to have so many tricks up his sleeve.

That was only possible in the Inner Courtyard. If they were ordinary Outer Courtyard students, where would they find the energy to squeeze benefits out of two associations?

"And you? Xu Yuan, what have you been doing these past ten days?" Shen Yi asked.

"I've been further developing my Martial Soul," Xu Yuan replied.

Further developing his Martial Soul?

Shen Yi frowned.

That was no easy form of cultivation.

"How is it going? Do you have any questions?"

Xu Yuan shook his head.

"Everything has been progressing smoothly so far."

"Alright, then." Shen Yi did not press him for the details of his cultivation.

"If there's anything you don't understand about cultivation in the future, or if you need any help, you can come to me. This is my Soul Guidance Communication number." She gave the three of them her contact number.

Only then did she state the main purpose of gathering them this time.

"There's another reason I called the three of you together."

Xu Lizhi looked at Shen Yi excitedly, waiting for her to continue.
