Soul Meditation Method

"You and my granddaughter, Qian Renxue, both possess Innate Level-Twenty Full Soul Power and are protected by Deities. I'm sure you have much to talk about."

"Strengthen your bond. It will also benefit you when you join hands to rule Spirit Hall in the future. What do you think?"

Su Qi cupped his hands. "I shall follow the Grand Consecrated Elder's arrangements."

Qian Daoliu smiled in satisfaction. "Good. Child, go back for now. If you encounter any cultivation difficulties or need Spirit Rings to advance in the future, you may come to Consecration Hall for help."

"Understood. Then, esteemed Consecrated Elders, this junior shall take his leave."

With that, Su Qi clasped his hands to every Consecrated Elder in salute before turning and walking out of Consecration Hall.

Only after he had left the entrance of Consecration Hall did the seven Consecrated Elders finally let out sighs of relief.

Even someone as powerful as Qian Daoliu could not help breaking into a cold sweat.

He was accustomed to dealing with mortals, yet he had nearly forgotten that Su Qi was Shura God's Inheritor.

He had actually used the position of Pope to test a genius who might one day become the supreme ruler of the God Realm.

The moment he thought of it, Qian Daoliu felt too ashamed to show his face, embarrassment and guilt flooding his heart.

He could only hope that this act had not angered Shura God.

Otherwise, even Angel God might not escape being targeted and suppressed in the God Realm!

"Grand Consecrated Elder, one can always sense a faint pressure of divine killing intent from that boy. It seems certain that he is Shura God's Inheritor."

Golden Crocodile Worshipper sighed. "If Little Xue has his support, then in the future, would any god in the God Realm dare bully her?"

"Indeed." After steadying his emotions, Qian Daoliu thought for a while before suggesting, "Uncle Jin, what do you think of matching Su Qi and Little Xue, helping them arrange an engagement?"

"Huh?" Not only Golden Crocodile Worshipper, but the other Consecrated Elders also widened their eyes.

Previously, Qian Daoliu had wanted to arrange an engagement between Ye Fan and Qian Renxue. In the end, the Consecrated Elders had mocked Ye Fan for being an old ox eating tender grass, utterly shameless.

Now he wanted to arrange an engagement between Su Qi and Qian Renxue. Would that not make their Little Xue the old ox eating tender grass this time?

The Third Consecrated Elder reminded him, "Grand Consecrated Elder, Little Xue is nine years older than Su Qi. Isn't their age gap too large?"

"Age is not the problem," the Fourth Consecrated Elder said. "The problem is that they are a full nine years apart!"

"Fourth Brother, are you still asleep? If you have nothing to say, shut up. Stop talking nonsense!"

After snapping back at him, Golden Crocodile Worshipper looked at Qian Daoliu and said seriously, "Grand Consecrated Elder, I think your proposal may be worth trying."

"First, find a chance to let Little Xue and Su Qi meet. Perhaps the talented man and beautiful woman will fall for each other at first sight?"

At this point, Golden Crocodile Worshipper stroked his chin with his right hand and gave a sinister smile. "As long as Little Xue and Su Qi both have some goodwill toward each other, we can set a trap and lure them into a secret chamber."

"Then we'll cook the rice while it's raw, heh heh. I truly want to hold a child born of two gods!"

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu was delighted rather than angered, a sharp gleam flashing through his eyes.

Back then, his son Qian Xunji had committed a vile act against Bibi Dong in a secret chamber, causing Bibi Dong to hate the Qian Clan and the Angel Clan.

Taking that as a lesson, they only needed to first ensure that Su Qi and his granddaughter had a certain emotional foundation.

Moreover, both of them were inheritors of Deities, and they could keep each other company after ascending to the God Realm in the future.

Thus, after the rice had been cooked, perhaps they would not resent one another. They might even marry first and fall in love afterward.

Then, with Shura God as her husband in the God Realm, his granddaughter could live in peace and comfort.

And he could leave her side without worry.

Thinking of how he would sacrifice himself for his granddaughter in the future, sorrow could not help appearing in Qian Daoliu's eyes.

The reason he had sent his granddaughter to Heaven Dou Palace to carry out the infiltration plan was not merely to keep her away from Bibi Dong. In truth, he also had selfish motives.

He did not want to help his granddaughter begin her Divine Trial too early, nor did he want to sacrifice himself so soon.

For despite being over a hundred years old, he still had regrets left unresolved.

"Bo Saixi, you probably still haven't found Sea God's inheritor, have you? I wonder which of us will be the first to sacrifice ourselves for our descendants."

"Tang Chen, if you are not dead, I wonder whether I will still have the chance to fight you before I sacrifice myself."

With a dejected sigh in his heart, Qian Daoliu closed his eyes helplessly.

Though these were all regrets of his, his greatest regret was being unable to begin Angel God's Nine Trials and become Angel God.

Now, he could only rely on his granddaughter to fulfill that regret for him.

Five days later.

Holy Son's Palace.

Su Qi asked Gui Mei for Spirit Hall's most precise soul power testing device.

Ordinary testing devices could only measure a Soul Master's approximate soul power level. They could not display the soul power accumulated during a bottleneck period.

The most precise testing device, however, had accurate markings on its surface. Once all soul power was injected into it, it could detect even decimal-level amounts of soul power.

Yu Xiaogang had been able to measure Innate Half-Level Soul Power in the original work because he had used a similar precise testing device.

Buzz—

Su Qi tested his soul power, and the device's scale settled at Level-Twenty-Nine and a half.

He was still half a level away from the Level-Thirty bottleneck.

Generally speaking, the lower one's soul power level, the faster one's soul power improved.

At present, both his soul power level and physical condition were in their golden period for cultivation.

Combined with the cultivation talent of Innate Level-Twenty Full Soul Power, breaking through bottlenecks would be easier as well.

Therefore, Su Qi believed that he would not need half a month to reach the Level-Thirty bottleneck.

At that time, he would compare his cultivation speed before and after Level Thirty.

Then he would decide whether to hold at the soul power bottleneck and gamble on receiving double God-Bestowed Spirit Rings as a Divine Trial reward.

With that thought settled, Su Qi sat cross-legged on his bed and began cultivating with the Soul Meditation Method he had created in his previous life.

Other meditation methods required the heaven-and-earth energy one absorbed to circulate through the body's various meridians before it could be converted into soul power. The detours were countless, and the efficiency was extremely low.

The Soul Meditation Method, created upon the foundation of his Soul Martial Soul from his previous life—

used the soul to drive the Martial Soul's origin to absorb heaven-and-earth energy.

It did not need to pass through the body's meridians.

It reached the goal in a single step, making its cultivation efficiency unimaginably fast.

However, because it did not require the body's participation, the cultivation process was entirely controlled by the soul.

As a result, the body could not be tempered by the absorbed heaven-and-earth energy and became extremely fragile.

Fortunately, Whale Gel strengthened the body.

In addition, the medicinal power of the Icefire Immortal Herb naturally carried by his soul improved his physique.

The drawback of the Soul Meditation Method was thus perfectly resolved.

While cultivating soul power, the Soul Meditation Method could also cultivate spiritual power, helping increase the success rate of condensing Soul Cores in the future.

In his previous life, it was precisely because Su Qi cultivated the Soul Meditation Method that he had been able to condense Yin-Yang Complementary Twin Soul Cores immediately after breaking through to Titled Douluo.

Although he had been the Eighth Consecrated Elder and had friendships with the seven Consecrated Elders, Su Qi had not told them about the Soul Meditation Method in his previous life.

It was not because he was overly selfish.

It was simply because the prerequisite for using the Soul Meditation Method was being able to sense the existence of one's own soul.

Even someone as powerful as Qian Daoliu could not achieve that.

Without the support of a Soul Martial Soul, how could a mere mortal possibly accomplish it?

Fortunately, his Soul Martial Soul from his previous life had become his current soul, allowing Su Qi to use the Soul Meditation Method in this life.

He had considered it before. In all of Spirit Hall, aside from himself, the only person who could use the Soul Meditation Method was Gui Mei.

Because Gui Mei had died once, his body was practically that of an undead being. Naturally, he could wield soul power.

Gui Mei had helped him obtain his first and second Spirit Rings.

Gui Mei had also helped him obtain opportunities such as Whale Gel and the External Left Palm Bone.

In the future, he could pass the Soul Meditation Method on to Gui Mei.

Helping him break through the Level-Ninety-Five bottleneck would count as repaying his kindness.
