Douluo Continent.
Heaven Dou City.
Su Yu followed behind a one-armed burly man, looking fairly relaxed.
I finally found a home.
After transmigrating to Douluo Continent and becoming a wandering orphan, he had struggled for years before finally finding a chance to awaken his martial soul and successfully enter the Body Sect.
Su Yu felt that the heartstrings he had kept taut for so many years could finally loosen a little.
Seeking closer ties with the Body Sect, the Heavenly Soul Royal Family had not held a universal awakening ceremony. Instead, it had organized free awakening events in Heaven Dou City and numerous other large cities.
Su Yu had seized the opportunity to complete his martial soul awakening at one of these events.
His martial souls were his dantians, so the Body Sect had naturally taken an interest in him and accepted him as a disciple.
The human body had three major dantians, and Su Yu's martial soul did not correspond to just one, but to all three.
One dantian, one martial soul!
Starting out with triple martial souls felt somewhat unreal even to Su Yu.
His years of wandering flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.
He had almost thought all of this was nothing more than a fantasy in his final moments before death.
Fortunately, his mind was firm enough, and he soon accepted this reality.
The one-armed burly man a short distance ahead was a steward of the Body Sect.
Under the steward's guidance, Su Yu soon reached the Body Sect's base in Heaven Dou City.
It was a large manor.
The main hall of the central courtyard.
All the Body Sect disciples in the manor had gathered there.
Su Yu counted carefully. There were thirty-five in total, or thirty-six including himself.
The Body Sect had recently grown close to the Heavenly Soul Royal Family, and this base was located in Heaven Dou City.
It should have had the most members of all the Body Sect's bases.
Yet there were only thirty-six disciples.
One could easily imagine how few members the entire Body Sect had.
"Su Yu, come meet everyone. From now on, just think of the sect as your home." The one-armed burly man turned back and smiled at Su Yu.
He had lost an arm, leaving only his right, and his face looked somewhat fierce. His smile appeared a little odd, but the warmth in his tone and expression was unmistakable.
Su Yu nodded and stepped forward to exchange greetings with his fellow disciples.
"The sect master isn't here, but I've already sent someone to find a way to contact him. We can't let talent like yours go to waste. Both soul hunting for your first soul ring and the preparations beforehand are essential."
Finally, the one-armed burly man took Su Yu aside and explained why he had not taken him straight out to hunt for a soul ring.
Indeed, Su Yu could already hunt for a soul ring despite having only just awakened his martial souls, because he had innate full soul power!
Su Yu was eventually assigned a small, tasteful courtyard. After receiving an advanced meditation method from the one-armed burly man, he prepared to cultivate.
His soul power was already at rank ten, allowing him to acquire a soul ring.
Until he absorbed a soul ring, he would not be able to feel any improvement in his soul power.
Even so, he could not suppress his desire to try cultivating.
At the very least, he had to experience what it felt like, didn't he?
Committing the core principles of the meditation method to memory, Su Yu sat cross-legged on his bed, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
He mobilized the soul power within his body, using the various techniques in the meditation method to help himself enter a state of lucid emptiness.
His three martial souls appeared within his perception.
His upper dantian, also known as the Sea of Consciousness, had been opened directly when his martial souls awakened.
As a result, Su Yu could control his spiritual power directly.
Unlike twin martial souls, his three dantian martial souls could actually be cultivated simultaneously!
Perhaps cultivating all three dantians at once is the right approach. Essence, energy, and spirit work together in harmony. They aren't inherently conflicting attributes, so they can all act on soul power at the same time.
Su Yu thought to himself.
As he meditated, he treated the three dantians as a single whole, and his spiritual power and soul power naturally mingled within his body.
At the same time, a vigorous surge of blood and vitality stirred within him, as though about to burst forth.
It simply failed to condense.
Su Yu knew that this should be bloodline power.
Although he had failed to condense bloodline power, the mingling of his spiritual power and soul power within his body had also allowed them to interact with the power deep inside his flesh.
In his meditation, the three martial souls appeared in his mind.
As essence, energy, and spirit interacted, the three dantians slowly overlapped.
The instant the three dantians overlapped completely, a thunderous boom erupted in Su Yu's mind.
At that moment, his perception seemed to ascend, rising from the real world into some higher realm.
A vast world of dazzling colors appeared before his eyes.
Where is this?
Su Yu was utterly shocked.
He did not know where he was, but the immense vista of this world was truly breathtaking.
Yet as he guarded his mind, he discovered that this boundless world seemed to contract into a small space.
The mysterious, multicolored wonders that had just appeared in his perception vanished as well.
All that remained was a silent, empty void.
Faced with something so unknown, his first instinct was to escape.
Su Yu's immediate impulse was also to leave this state and return to himself. But when he considered that this mysterious sight might conceal something more, he forced himself to calm down.
First, he confirmed that he could still sense his physical body and seemed able to return at any moment.
Then Su Yu decided to explore this space.
With conscious control, he condensed a body for himself within it.
The space was small, yet also boundless. He kept walking, but never saw its end.
It was as though the vast, limitless world he had seen at the beginning was real, but his current self could illuminate only a tiny corner around him.
By merging essence, energy, and spirit, I entered another world. It's unlikely that this other world exists outside me. The most reasonable explanation is that it's inside me-a world hidden within my body!
The human body holds great secrets!
He seemed to have uncovered a secret treasure hidden within the human body.
It's a little like the inner landscape I know of. Taking the human body as a universe and exploring its mysteries... perhaps every inch of land here corresponds to some part of my body.
By the time Su Yu's speculation reached this point, he was already growing excited.
He had thought triple martial souls were the limit, but an even greater surprise had awaited him.
Thanks to the unique nature of his three-life dantian martial soul, he had merged essence, energy, and spirit without any obstacles, entering this strange realm of profound mystery.
Su Yu understood that this could very well be the key to his rise in this world.
He began to explore in earnest.
After an unknown length of time, he finally saw a glimmer of light in this gray, silent world.
Like the dazzling, multicolored radiance he had seen in the vast universe when he first entered the inner landscape, those lights were not illusions. They truly existed; Su Yu's field of vision had merely been restricted, preventing him from seeing them.
Now, Su Yu had found them.
Only there was no multicolored radiance this time, just a cluster of red light.
It was a mass of mysterious substance, emitting a magnificent red glow.
A strange feeling welled up in his heart.
That mass of mysterious substance seemed to possess some kind of magic, drawing him closer.
