The Seventh Soul Ring
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan simply spoke in a light tone, pouring cold water on the Ice Empress with a single sentence. "What I promised was to help the Snow Empress become a god, not you."
He looked at Ice Empress, who was suddenly taken aback, and continued, "Unless you can offer something that will tempt me in exchange."
"Something that could tempt you?" Ice Empress asked without hesitation, "A Soul Ring or Soul Bone? Whatever I have, I'll give it to you!"
At this point, she puffed out her chest, her small face full of pride, and continued to promise resolutely, "As long as it can grant you eternal life, I will take full responsibility for finding all the Soul Ring and Soul Bone that you three need afterward!"
"If the attributes don't match, we won't accept them." Lu Xuan gently shook his head, looking calmly at Ice Empress: "If you can truly gather all the remaining suitable Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring for us, I might be able to give you a spot for immortality."
"You want them all to be 100,000 years old?" Ice Empress exclaimed in shock, her icy blue eyes widening. "Are you planning to slaughter all the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the Far North?"
She pursed her lips, her gaze sweeping over Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling beside her, and continued with a hint of skepticism, "Besides, even if your physical body is strong enough to withstand it, can these two young girls beside you withstand the impact of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?"
Lu Xuan remained calm and uttered two words: "Sacrifice."
"Stop dreaming!" Ice Empress scoffed coldly, a slight chill emanating from her body. "Do you think all Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would willingly and foolishly offer themselves as sacrifices?"
"Don't let my young age fool you; I've personally witnessed several Soul Beast Sacrifice."
As Lu Xuan finished speaking, his Soul Ring slowly rose around him, revealing the Soul Ring of his dual Martial Soul to the Ice Empress and Snow Empress.
He pointed to the ring of light and calmly said, "My First Martial Soul's Fourth Soul Ring Peach-Rhyme Immortal Bamboo, and my Body Martial Soul's Second Soul Ring, Titan Giant Ape, were all obtained through sacrifice."
Having just absorbed the Sixth Soul Ring, his spiritual power had already surged significantly once again.
Once he absorbs the Three-Eyed Demonic Spirit's Soul Ring, his spiritual level will experience a qualitative leap.
When that time comes, he will have enough confidence to control those Soul Beast that have just stepped into the threshold of 100,000 years to complete the sacrifice.
"Bing'er." The Snow Empress spoke softly, raising her hand to stop Ice Empress, who was about to continue arguing. She then turned to look at Lu Xuan, her clear, cold eyes filled with solemnity. "I can give you the Soul Core Condensation Method, along with the insights that Ice Empress and I have gained through cultivation. But I have one condition: you must not reveal this method to everyone. If it becomes widely known, it will be a catastrophic disaster for all Soul Beast in the world."
"I agree to this condition." Lu Xuan nodded slightly and answered frankly, "I will only inform my family about this method at most."
Lu Xuan was not a selfless person; he was content as long as his family and friends could improve through this secret technique.
He would not do something so foolish as to spread the Soul Core Technique throughout the continent, as it would indirectly weaken his own unique advantage.
Moreover, given Lu Xuan's past confidence in confronting and intimidating the three God-Kings, he is fully capable of bringing his master and all his close associates to godhood in the future.
As for what level of godhood one can ultimately attain, that's not important; the most crucial thing, immortality, will surely be within one's grasp.
Once everyone possesses eternal lifespan and god-level power, they can remain on the Douluo Continent, peacefully existing for tens of thousands of years as gods, establishing sects and becoming the progenitors of their respective regions.
This situation is far better than entering the Divine Realm, only to encounter a great war Divine Realm and face the collapse of the Divine Realm after just over thirty years.
"Alright!" Snow Empress solemnly agreed, then slowly began to explain the Soul Core Condensation Method: "The so-called Soul Core is the core of Soul Power."
"Within the dantian, Soul Power is continuously compressed from a liquid state, eventually condensing into a solid state, which becomes the Soul Core. The Soul Core will constantly rotate and transform within the dantian, autonomously drawing in and absorbing Soul Power from the outside world, continuously supplying it for one's own use." The Snow Empress said earnestly, "Once mastered, both the combat power unleashed in the moment and the speed of Soul Power recovery will far surpass what was before."
After explaining the entire set of secret techniques, the Snow Empress then carefully imparted to Lu Xuan and the other two the practical experience she and the Ice Empress had accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years in condensing Soul Core.
After listening to everything, Lu Xuan turned to look at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling beside him and slowly said, "Condensing Soul Core requires a sufficiently profound foundation of cultivation. With my current foundation, I am confident that I can successfully condense my first Soul Core. However, just to be on the safe side, it's best to make an extra layer of preparation!"
As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, he raised his hand and stroked it. Streams of light poured out from his treasure pouch, and a huge Soul Beast landed heavily on the snow-covered ice plain.
It is indeed the Three-Eyed Demonic Spirit!
Its cultivation level was already far beyond 100,000 years, and its strength was formidable. After being captured alive by Lu Xuan, it had been in a coma and had been carefully stored in his treasure pouch until now. Now that Lu Xuan had just entered level 70, he was in need of a Seventh Soul Ring, and this Three-Eyed Demonic Spirit was the most suitable choice.
The Snow Empress and Ice Empress, standing to the side, fixed their gazes on the Three-Eyed Demonic Spirit, their eyebrows twitching slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.
They recognized the Soul Beast and knew its strength and power, but they never expected that Lu Xuan had already captured it alive.
Neither of them spoke up to plead for it. The Three-Eyed Demonic Spirit was not a native Soul Beast of the Far North and was not under their jurisdiction, so it was not worth their time to stand up for it.
In their eyes, these were merely prey chosen by Lu Xuan Lu Xuan; their life or death was entirely up to him.
Lu Xuan made no unnecessary moves; he neither persuaded the Three-Eyed Demonic Spirit to offer itself voluntarily, nor did he use his immense spiritual power to force it to do so.
This is spirit-type Soul Beast that is hundreds of thousands of years old; Lu Xuan's strength is not enough to control it.
Lu Xuan acted swiftly and decisively, a flash of cold light instantly ending the life of the Three-Eyed Demonic Spirit.
A rich purple Soul Ring rose from the demon spirit's body, slowly hovering in mid-air, its halo swirling around it, carrying a profound aura far exceeding that of an ordinary Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Lu Xuan calmed his mind, sat cross-legged on the ice and snow, and guided the Soul Ring to slowly approach him, beginning to absorb it with a focused mind.
With his cultivation foundation becoming increasingly solid, coupled with the foundation he had honed by refining several Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring in succession, the process of absorbing Soul Ring was exceptionally smooth.
He methodically guided and refined the raging power of the Soul Ring, without any dangerous Soul Ring. His Soul Power flowed steadily and orderly throughout his body.
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan stood to the side, watching Lu Xuan intently, while Snow Empress and Ice Empress also stood quietly to one side, silently observing the absorption process.
"Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan." Just as Lu Xuan was absorbing his Seventh Soul Ring, Snow Empress looked at the two women and asked, "Is the human world fun?"
