"No need to swear poison." Lu Ren waved his hand, "Just do your job well and don't betray this trust."
"In addition, arrange for a few people to keep an eye on Holy Spirit Cult's retreat route. Just follow it, don't take action, and make sure they really leave the Mingdu range."
"Yes!"
Wuyun took the order, turned around and quickly went to make arrangements.
His pace was much calmer than before, but after walking out of the hall, Lu Ren still heard a low growl from him that he couldn't suppress.
It was the catharsis from the bottom of my heart after I finally found the opportunity to prove my worth after holding it in for too long.
Looking at his back, Ice Empress curled his lips. "Are you so trusting of him?"
"What should I do if Evil Soul Master, who just surrendered, turns back?"
"What if he pretends to surrender and sells all our information to Zhongli Wu while we are not paying attention?"
"It can't be countered." Lu Ren said calmly, "He has no way out. Holy Spirit Cult He can't go back."
"Zhongli Wu will not forgive a surrendered worshiper, let alone a person who caused Holy Spirit Cult to suffer such a disastrous defeat."
"The only way to survive is by following us, and he is different from Third Offering and Third Offering. Third Offering and Fourth Offering are too tired to live and don't want to live anymore. Wuyun wants to live and live upright. Spirit Pagoda is his only chance."
"Besides, what do you think the seeds I planted in his Sea of Consciousness are for?" Lu Ren said with a smile, "If he has any thoughts of betrayal, I can kill him directly before he does it."
Snow Empress nodded slightly. "The way to employ people is to give both kindness and power."
"He is capable and knowledgeable. He has been in Holy Spirit Cult Offering Hall for decades and knows the way underground forces operate."
"It's much easier to use it than trying to figure it out on our own."
"Tch, I think he is just a softie." Ice Empress couldn't help pouting, crossing his arms with his hands on his chest, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
"Aren't you also trying to recruit Third Offering and Fourth Offering?"
"But people just choose to commit suicide rather than continue to live."
"On the contrary, he directly agreed to join Spirit Pagoda in order to survive."
"He was so cowarded after being taught a lesson by Snow Empress, and he knelt down so easily after being beaten by you. What kind of backbone does this kind of person have?"
"Everyone has different choices. This is normal. Not everyone has the courage to commit suicide." Lu Ren said, "Ice Empress, if it were you, would you dare to choose to commit suicide and give an explanation?"
"Are you willing to give up the chance to survive? Give up all unfinished possibilities, give up future eternal life, and just turn it into nothingness?"
Ice Empress was stunned for a moment, and a trace of extremely rare confusion flashed in those beautiful eyes.
She lived for nearly Four Hundred Thousand Years, during which she faced life and death countless times, and she tried her best to survive every time.
She can fight the enemy to the end without hesitation, but if she is asked to take the initiative to end her own life, she asks herself that she cannot do it.
After a long while, she said dullly, "Okay, I don't want to. Otherwise, I wouldn't be your Soul Spirit. Let's try to see if I can live forever."
,"That's alright, what qualifications do you have to call someone a softie?" Lu Ren rolled his eyes.
This time Ice Empress had nothing to say, and knowing that he was being ignored, he stuck out his tongue in a cute way, making himself look very cute.
Lu Ren couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rub her cheek after seeing it, his fingertips sinking into the soft skin. "How old are you, and you still act cute? It's shameful to act cute."
Ice Empress's face changed from proud to angry in an instant, and she slapped Lu Ren's hand away, but she did not have an attack after all.
"Also, Kurourushi, are those cockroaches you left at Shrek still there?" Lu Ren suddenly looked back at Kurourushi.
"In." Kurourushi replied.
The cockroaches it left behind in Shrek are well hidden, such as in the shadows of corners, some cracks that are not easily noticed, and various unexpected dark places, which are their ideal hiding places.
"Send some cockroaches to see if they can penetrate deep into the Shrek Academy, preferably Golden Ancient Tree."
Lu Ren said in a deep voice.
"As long as we can find the location of Mu En."
"I want to see what he wants to do. He's been so quiet during this period. It's so wrong."
"Okay." Kurourushi left immediately and followed suit.
Lu Ren watched Kurourushi leave and fell into deep thought.
How can we maximize our combat power in the shortest possible time?
Soul Spirit Contract has matured. The army of Cursed Spirit and Undead Legion can be summoned at any time. Mahoraga's adaptability is enough to restrain Limit Douluo. Shikigami of Ten Shadows Technique has also been tamed.
But these are all external forces. What truly determines the upper limit of his combat power is his own foundation.
The operating efficiency of Xiuwei, Soul Core, and Cursed Technique.
He is now Level 73 Soul Saint, and it is difficult for him to make a qualitative leap in his cultivation in a short period of time. There is only one way left to double his strength in a short period of time.
"Next, I'm going to try Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores."
Lu Ren suddenly spoke.
He said this very calmly, but the content in his words was enough to shock the entire Douluo Continent and Soul Master World.
Ice Empress and Snow Empress were stunned at the same time. "Huh?"
Ice Empress almost fell straight down from mid-air, his feet made a crisp sound on the ground, his face was full of disbelief, and his eyes widened. "Are you crazy?"
"Are you crazy enough to fuse Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores now?"
"That's something even Limit Douluo might not dare to touch!"
"How many people in the entire continent have dared to try to condense the second Soul Core from ancient times to the present? How many have succeeded?"
"You're only Level 73 Soul Saint, but you dare to play such a big role? Aren't you afraid of being strangled to death by yourself?"
Snow Empress also put down the dessert plate in his hand, and there was a rare and obvious solemnity in his beautiful eyes.
She did not speak immediately, but remained silent for a few moments before slowly saying, "Do you know the failure rate of Dual Soul Cores? I can guarantee that with the success rate of Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores, in the entire Douluo Continent since ancient times, I am afraid that only Beast God Di Tian has succeeded."
"Based on Di Tian's conditions, it would have been extremely difficult for him to gather Dual Soul Cores back then. You must know that he has the physical fitness of Dragon!"
"You are only at level seventy-three now. Although your foundation is solid, Soul Power Level is still far from it. There is no need to take such a risk."
"I am confident that my current physical strength can definitely withstand the impact of Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores."
Lu Ren shook his head.
He was not impulsive, this idea had already taken shape in his mind after returning from Star Luo City.
It's just that the conditions were not mature at that time.
Now his Spiritual Power has reached the mid-to-upper level of the Spirit Domain Realm. Although it has not reached the late stage of the Spirit Domain Realm, it is enough.
Moreover, the physical strength has been strengthened by several pieces of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, coupled with the efficient repair of Reverse Cursed Technique, it already has the minimum conditions for impacting Dual Soul Cores.
"You may not be familiar with my power system now."
"I know something about it, it's something called Cursed Energy?" Ice Empress said slightly thoughtfully.
She has been with Lu Ren for so long and has often heard him mention this word, but she still only has a vague idea of its essence.
"The attribute of my first Soul Core is Cursed Energy, an energy born from people's negative emotions." Lu Ren explained, "And for my second Soul Core, I also have a general idea."
"Then go Positive Energy Soul Core."
"Positive Energy?" Snow Empress and Ice Empress said in confusion at the same time.
This word is completely unfamiliar to them.
"If Cursed Energy is called negative energy, then Reverse Cursed Technique is Positive Energy."
"Cursed Energy multiplied by Cursed Energy is equal to Positive Energy. This is the core principle of Reverse Cursed Technique."
"The negative of the two negative energies makes the positive, producing Positive Energy that can heal everything." Lu Ren explains the core of the Jujutsu system in the most concise way Law.
"And my Cursed Energy attribute Soul Core is yin, and Positive Energy attribute Soul Core is yang. The two are completely opposite, which exactly fits the principle of Yin-Yang Complementarity."
"And I can master these two kinds of energy very skillfully. I already have experience when condensing the first Soul Core. I believe it is not difficult for me to condense the second one. It is much easier than the normal difficulty of Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores."
That's what Lu Ren thinks.
The first Soul Core has the attribute Cursed Energy, and the second Soul Core has the attribute Positive Energy.
Both Yin-Yang Complementarity, once successful, his Reverse Cursed Technique efficiency can be increased by at least five times.
Not only that, the energy cycle between Dual Soul Cores will bring his Cursed Energy and Soul Power recovery speed to a whole new level, and his overall strength will directly exceed the standard, definitely about ten times stronger than he is now.
"If you are really confident——" Snow Empress suddenly spoke, with a hint of unprecedented solemnity in his tone, "It's not that you can't give it a try."
"Snow Empress!"
Ice Empress was a little anxious and turned his head suddenly to look at Snow Empress.
"We can take our time now, there is no need to rush forward all at once!"
"He is only level seventy-three. If he continues to practice step by step, with his talent, he will be able to break through Titled Douluo in just a few years. It won't be too late to try again then."
"We can't take risks. You don't know how low the success rate of Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores is. How dare you let Lu Ren try it?"
"First of all, his physical strength is not low, at least it is the highest among all humans I have ever seen." Snow Empress said in a deep voice, "Secondly, have you forgotten his recovery ability?"
"It is almost possible to bear the injury and restore all aspects of the body to its original state every second."
"Just because of this near-immortal recovery speed, I can guarantee that Lu Ren has the highest success rate among all humans in completing Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores."
"If even he fails to succeed, then humanity will really have no hope, so I choose to take a gamble."
Snow Empress suddenly looked at Lu Ren with great energy, an extremely rare emotion burning in those beautiful eyes.
Lu Ren saw an almost longing light in her eyes.
That was her wish that she had never fulfilled in her long life of 700,000 years.
"I have the experience of gathering Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores. After all, I have been here for so many years--but it's a pity that I didn't succeed."
"With my help, Lu Ren, your success rate can be even higher.
"By then, with Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores, you will definitely be able to accommodate all my original power."
Ice Empress opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he just nodded silently.
Although she is usually careless, she trusts Snow Empress's judgment on such important matters.
Snow Empress has lived for 700,000 years. In terms of knowledge and experience, among all Douluo Continent, I am afraid that only Di Tian is above her.
Since she said that the success rate of Lu Ren is the highest in mankind, then it must be.
Moreover, her opinion has been rejected, and there is no point in continuing to argue.
"And there I am."
At this moment, Electrolux also floated out of Lu Ren's body.
His young and handsome silhouette was suspended beside Lu Ren, standing with his hands behind his back, with a satisfied smile in his eyes.
During the time he was asleep, Lu Ren grew faster than he expected.
Level 73 Soul Saint, Spirit Domain Realm Spiritual Power, several pieces of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, and Cultivation Method, which was created by one hand, can be said to have completely eradicated the scourge of Evil Soul Master.
Now we have to attack Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores again.
This boy is always doing things that everyone thinks are impossible.
"With my help, Lu Ren's success rate should be even higher.
"My current state is very stable, provided by Lu Ren and Cursed Energy--although I am only a small fragment, my state cannot go any further unless I can obtain other fragments of myself to make me more complete."
As soon as he saw Electrolux coming out, Snow Empress's eyes lit up.
Yes, I almost forgot about him.
This is the former Demigod. In terms of background and vision, there is no other person in the Douluo Continent who can compare with him.
With him protecting you, Lu Ren can stabilize himself in time even if something unexpected happens.
"Then I'll leave it to you two." Lu Ren nodded solemnly towards Electrolux and Snow Empress.
He didn't say any words of gratitude, because these two people didn't need it. They had tied themselves to his fate, and his success or failure was their success or failure.
Then he turned to Ice Empress, with a relaxed smile on his lips, and deliberately said in a casual tone, "Ice Empress, you are protecting me outside, and you are also helping to look after the yard to prevent being attacked by outsiders."
"Although there is another Wuyun, it might be safer if you are here."
"Got it." Ice Empress responded in a dull voice, crossing his arms and floating to the door.
Her voice was not loud, but the worry in her tone could not be concealed.
She has indeed seen the tragic situation of Lu Ren being exploded dozens of times while absorbing her power. The risk of condensing Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores this time is much greater than simply absorbing her power.
At that time, it was just too much power that exploded the Meridians, but this time it was an energy conflict caused by the mutual repulsion of the two Soul Cores. It was like igniting two vortexes in opposite directions in the body at the same time. If there was a slight deviation, it would be blown to pieces from the inside.
"Don't worry." Lu Ren smiled at her, then sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.
His consciousness sank into Dantian.
There, a black Soul Core, only the size of a longan, was slowly spinning.
Those were his first Soul Core, Cursed Energy Soul Core, completely black, and each pulse drove the Cursed Energy and Soul Power throughout his body to complete a perfect cycle.
"Let's begin." Snow Empress's voice sounded in his ears.
She was already sitting cross-legged opposite Lu Ren, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and Spiritual Power spread out, giving a panoramic view of Lu Ren's entire state.
"Let's take our time first, don't rush." Electrolux's voice also sounded in his Sea of Consciousness.
The former Demigod is floating in the sky above Sea of Consciousness, and his slender fingers have prepared the sealing runes, ready to temporarily seal the violent energy when Lu Ren loses control.
Lu Ren did not rush to gather Second Soul Core immediately, but first moved Soul Power and Cursed Energy all over the body Meridians to adjust the state to its peak.
The black Soul Core in Dantian rotates at a constant speed, and each pulse drives Soul Power and Cursed Energy to complete a cycle.
After confirming that his physical condition was indeed at its peak, he took a deep breath. "I'm going to start.
With a low cry, Lu Ren's mind moved, and all the Reverse Cursed Technique power that had been dormant in his body was awakened.
Positive Energy slowly precipitates from every inch of cell and every Meridians, like fine starlight, converging towards the position below Dantian.
This power was warm and pure, completely opposite to the cold and domineering Cursed Energy. As soon as it appeared, its properties were completely opposite to those of the first Soul Core. The two energies began to collide in completely opposite directions, creating a strong sense of repulsion.
The feeling is like two magnets with the same magnetic poles being forcibly pressed together. The closer they are, the stronger the repulsive force is. The entire Dantian is trembling violently under this conflict.
"Hold on!"
Snow Empress gave a low drink, and a wisp of extremely cold air popped out from his fingertips, accurately landing between the two forces.
The extremely cold air turned into a thin ice crystal barrier, temporarily isolating the violent repulsive force and giving Lu Ren a moment to breathe.
"Separate them with Spiritual Power, condense them first, and then talk about complementarity."
"Don't let them hedge in advance, otherwise your Meridians won't be able to handle it first."
Lu Ren's mind was tense, Spirit Domain Realm Spiritual Power turned into countless fine threads, gathering up the scattered Positive Energy little by little.
Positive Energy is not as domineering as Cursed Energy, and it is more difficult to condense. Each point of compression consumes a huge amount of Spiritual Power.
Sweat beads slid down his forehead, and veins bulged slightly at his temples. Meridians felt a stab of pain under the pull of the two forces.
Cursed Energy rotates to the left under the guidance of the first Soul Core, while Positive Energy converges to the right under the guidance of Spiritual Power. Two completely opposite forces pass through Meridians, and each interlacing produces violent friction, as if Meridians will be torn apart in the next second.
Before the injury could spread, Reverse Cursed Technique began to operate.
A warm pale white light lit up from the inner wall of Meridians, and the damaged Meridians was repaired as before at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As soon as the old cracks disappeared, new cracks appeared again, and Reverse Cursed Technique was repaired again.
Destruction and repair formed an extremely fragile dynamic balance in Dantian. Every collision made Lu Ren's consciousness tremble slightly, but every repair made his Meridians become a little tougher at the limit of endurance.
"Sure enough." Snow Empress's eyes flashed with admiration, "Having this kind of self-healing ability is equivalent to bringing countless lives."
"If it had been an ordinary Soul Master, Meridians would have been broken into pieces."
"But don't be complacent, it's just the prelude now."
"When the second Soul Core begins to take shape, the intensity of the energy conflict will be more than ten times greater than now. Whether your Reverse Cursed Technique can keep up will be the beginning of the real test."
