Six months later, in the underground chamber of Sea God Island.
The room was dimly lit, and the concentration of Heaven and Earth Origin Power within it had reached an alarming level.
The most astonishing instances included instances where the Heaven and Earth Origin Power was so concentrated that it liquefied into water droplets and fell to the ground.
Lin Mo was sitting cross-legged on a futon in the center of the secret room, his eyes closed and his breathing steady.
Before him, a Soul Core floated silently in mid-air.
The Soul Core is completely transparent, without any color mixed in, just like a bead carved from the purest crystal.
It rotates slowly, and with each rotation, it absorbs a portion of the surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Power ).
The Soul Core was in an extremely stable state, and its rotation trajectory remained constant.
Seeing this, Lin Mo's eyes showed relief.
His nearly Insomnia efforts over the past Charizard months have not been in vain.
In the past six months, he and the Charizard took turns fighting, one cultivating and accumulating Soul Power, and the other guiding, suppressing, and condensing it into form. They hardly slept at all.
They put in far too much effort for this Soul Core.
The Charizard lay to one side, Spit Up a white breath from its nostrils and gently swaying its tail, as if cheering Lin Mo on.
Those blue eyes were full of encouragement, but also carried a hint of weariness that was hard to hide.
Lin Mo nodded at it, took a deep breath, and no longer hesitated.
Guided by Lin Mo's mental power, the Soul Core slowly descended towards his lower abdomen, gradually merging into it under Lin Mo's control.
The lower abdomen is the Soul Master's lower dantian, which is also the part of the Soul Master's body most likely to contain Soul Core. This is also the location he had chosen for this Soul Core long ago.
The moment the Soul Core touched the skin, a warm sensation came over me.
Lin Mo could clearly feel the Soul Core slowly sinking into him and merging with his body.
At the same time, the Bloodline Soul Core that had already condensed in his chest also lit up, emitting a deep and powerful heartbeat.
Thump, thump, thump.
The auras of the two Soul Core began to merge at this moment, echoing each other, attracting and pulling each other.
The crimson light emanating from the Qi Bloodline Soul Core intertwined with the transparent light of the Soul Power Soul Core, forming a perfect cycle within Lin Mo's body.
The integration was completed smoothly in a short time.
The fusion of the Soul Core went very smoothly without any unexpected incidents.
Just as his first Soul Core Blood One attribute, this second Soul Core is purely of the Soul Power attribute.
It is simply a pure Soul Power Soul Core, without any added attributes.
Even the Fire-type that it originally possessed at the beginning of its formation was deliberately stripped away by Lin Mo.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a pang of melancholy, recalling the stage when the Soul Core was still in its infancy, when the attributes attached to the nascent Soul Core were being stripped away.
At that time, Lin Mo thought that as long as he extracted the Fire-type, he would be fine, but the subsequent developments were far beyond his expectations.
The attributes fused with the prototype of his Second Soul Core were not only fire; in addition to fire, it also contained other elements such as wind.
If it were wind, Lin Mo could barely accept it, since the Charizard that was helping him out had both fire and wind attributes.
What the heck is the Water-type?
Even if we take a step back and assume that this is Sea God Island, it's somewhat understandable that the Soul Core might accidentally become tainted with some Water-type Soul Power.
But no matter what, one's Soul Core shouldn't be tainted by attributes like ice, earth, light, darkness, or space!
The ice element here could be blamed on the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, since he had consumed it and, together with the Infernal Delicate Apricot Octagonal-Clawed Mysterious Ice Grass, completed the Ice and Fire Golden Body.
But it's really abnormal that attributes like earth, light, darkness, and space are being attracted to it during the process of condensing the Soul Core!
It was precisely because of this unexpected event that the time it took for Lin Mo's Soul Core to go from its Soul Core form to its complete Soul Core was exceptionally long.
Lin Mo's exceptional control over his Soul Power prevented any unexpected incidents during the process.
Even if Lin Mo accidentally caused an explosion, he wouldn't die, but the surrounding area would definitely be destroyed.
If this were to happen, he wouldn't know how to explain it to Bo Saixi.
This place was lent to me by Bo Saixi for my secluded cultivation. My seclusion isn't even over yet, what kind of behavior is it to blow it up?
Thinking about this, Lin Mo couldn't help but complain again.
It seems that ever since his Body Martial Soul Second Awakening, his affinity for certain elements has become abnormally high.
Just like the affinity with the water element I felt when I entered the Sea Within the Sea.
Is it because of his Body Martial Soul? Lin Mo pondered.
The reason why the Body Martial Soul is so powerful is that it can Second Awakening, or in other words, the Body Martial Soul Second Awakening is only the true Body Martial Soul after it has been awakened a second time.
Prior to this, the Body Martial Soul was not significantly different from other Martial Soul, nor did it have any obvious advantages.
The same applies to Lin Mo's Body Martial Soul. Before it fully awakened into its Full-Body Body Martial Soul and before it underwent Second Awakening, it shouldn't have been this powerful.
The reason he is so powerful is simply because Lin Mo has had enough good fortune and has consumed enough rare and precious materials that Body Martial Soul.
Even if Lin Mo were to switch to a different Martial Soul, as long as he continued to consume so many rare and precious herbs that matched his Martial Soul, he would still remain powerful.
Feeling that the Soul Core had successfully fused without conflicting with the Bloodline Soul Core in his chest, thus creating a perfect cycle of Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
After the Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores are formed, the power of the two Soul Core will merge with each other, and after colliding with each other, their own power will be recombined, purified, and condensed.
Lin Mo can now effortlessly convert between two completely different forces: Qi and Blood, and Soul Power.
Furthermore, if he wished, he could also unleash a power that possessed both Soul Power and blood energy Ability.
From this point on, the Soul Power and blood energy within his body will be further compressed compared to before, and will possess extremely strong destructive power.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo subconsciously touched the space between his eyebrows.
If he can successfully condense his Third Soul Core in the future, the space between his eyebrows will be the location to house his third Soul Core — the Spiritual Soul Core.
Once the Yin-Yang Complementarity Triple Soul Core is successfully completed, he will be able to perfectly transform between the three powers of spirit, blood, and Soul Power.
Or perhaps, the three forces will be combined into a completely new force.
Lin Mo was not surprised that he was able to do this.
Ultimately, whether it's spirit, blood and qi, or Soul Power, they all lead to the same goal: his own inherent strength.
Once one's self-control reaches a certain level, it's perfectly normal to be able to transform between different aspects.
Just thinking about this gave Lin Mo a headache.
At this stage, he has already used the two more convenient locations to accommodate the Soul Core: his chest and lower abdomen.
The only remaining space on his body that could hold Soul Core was between his eyebrows, a spot that would be extremely dangerous for an ordinary person.
However, for Lin Mo, the danger of this location was irrelevant, as long as it could accommodate the Soul Core.
He was quite confident in his self-control and believed that the condensation of the Soul Core would not go out of control or Soul Core.
Moreover, Lin Mo was confident that even if the Soul Core exploded right in his face, he wouldn't be killed.
As long as he doesn't die, he will recover quickly.
However, he had his own concerns about choosing to condense Soul Core with Soul Power attributes in the Second Soul Core position.
Although his Body Martial Soul possesses Mental Attribute.
But relying solely on his own mental strength, it's unknown when he could accumulate enough mental energy to condense Mental Attribute Soul Core.
If he remembered it wrong, the Huo Yuhao in his memory relied on a massive amount of external force when condensing his own Mental Attribute Soul Core, absorbing and fusing a lot of the power of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in order to successfully construct it.
In the future, once he finds a high-quality Head Soul Bone, absorbs it, and greatly enhances his spiritual Head Soul Bone once more, he will then attempt to condense Spiritual Soul Core.
Lin Mo stood up and stretched his somewhat stiff body.
More than six months of seclusion had left his body somewhat rusty.
The joints made a cracking sound, and the muscles gradually regained their Hustle as they stretched.
Charizard stood up, flicked its tail, and let out a joyful growl.
Lin Mo patted its head, and the two of them pushed open the stone door of the secret chamber and walked out.
The sunlight outside the secret room was a bit dazzling. Lin Mo squinted, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt the sea breeze blowing in his face, dispelling the last trace of stuffiness.
The moment Lin Mo left the secret chamber, Bo Saixi in the Sea God Hall opened her eyes in surprise.
She sat in the center of the temple, holding a golden scepter in her hand, her deep eyes gazing into the distance through the temple doors.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
This kid has been in seclusion for more than half a year this time, even longer than the time he spent in seclusion during the Sea God's Light?
Is this a case of encountering an unsolvable problem, so they simply left the gate?
Or did you achieve your goals in seclusion and make a breakthrough in your cultivation, which is why you chose to emerge?
As Sea God's representative on Sea God Island, Bo Saixi may be able to control most of the Sea God Island, but that doesn't mean she can perceive everything that happens Sea God Island.
Moreover, during Lin Mo's seclusion, the Charizard could use its Soul Power to isolate the outside world from any detection of the situation inside the secret chamber.
All Bo Saixi could sense was the extraordinary concentration of Heaven and Earth Origin Power that suddenly erupted from Lin Mo's seclusion after he ended his retreat.
She looked away, shook her head, and stopped thinking about it.
Let that kid deal with his own affairs.
After finishing his secluded cultivation, Lin Mo did not rush back to the Sea Within the Sea near Sea God Mountain. Instead, he went to Sea Dragon City, the largest city on Sea God Island, and found the largest restaurant there.
Sea Dragon City is the most prosperous city on Sea God Island, with wide streets and shops lining both sides.
Lin Mo found the most impressive-looking restaurant, pushed open the door, and went inside.
The restaurant is tastefully decorated, with tables and chairs made of fine wood, and several paintings depicting ocean scenes hanging on the walls.
The waiter's attitude immediately became extremely respectful after his gaze swept over the red eight-pointed star mark between his eyebrows.
"Please come in, esteemed guest." The waiter bowed and led him to a seat by the window.
Lin Mo ordered a table full of dishes.
The cuisine on Sea God Island is mainly seafood, prepared in a way that is completely different from that on the mainland. Steamed, braised, marinated, and simmered in soup, the table is laden with seafood.
He also released the Charizard, which lay down beside the dining table and ate heartily.
It held a grilled fish in one paw and a steamed crab in the other, enjoying its meal immensely.
Its tail swayed gently behind it, the flame at its tip flickering and raising the surrounding temperature.
The man and the dragon devoured the dishes on the table like a whirlwind.
Having not eaten properly for over six months, this meal felt especially enjoyable.
The Charizard ate with its mouth dripping with oil, letting out a satisfied growl.
The waiter stood by, dumbfounded.
The combined appetite of this man and the dragon is probably greater than that of twenty or thirty strong men combined.
Before long, they had eaten and drunk their fill.
Lin Mo leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath.
The Charizard lay on the ground, its belly round and full, looking quite content.
After paying the bill, Lin Mo got up and left the restaurant, heading towards the Sea Within the Sea.
Before long, he arrived at the Ring Sea.
He missed his friends after not seeing them for half a year and also wanted to see how they were doing.
Charizard was very fast, and soon it arrived above Sea God Mountain.
Lin Mo leaped off the dragon's back and landed steadily on the ground.
The Charizard folded its wings and landed on the open ground by the Ring Sea.
At the foot of Sea God Mountain, the Ring Sea still glistens, with a golden curtain of light enveloping the surface, making the entire sea area appear dreamlike.
Lin Mo's gaze swept across the shore, and he only saw six familiar figures.
Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Huo Wu, Feng Xiaotian, Shui Yue'er, Zhu Zhuqing.
Shui Bing'er is not here.
Even Xiao Bai isn't here.
Lin Mo stepped forward.
Everyone had noticed him long ago, and now they all gathered around him.
Dugu Yan was the first to run to him, looking him up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was safe and sound.
"You've finally come out. Why did you stay in seclusion for so long this time? More than half a year, even longer than last time."
Ye Lingling also stepped forward and said softly, " A-Mo, I'm so glad you're alright."
Huo Wu crossed her arms, a smile playing on her lips, "Sect Master, your seclusion periods are getting longer and longer each time. Next time, it's not going to be a year, is it?"
Feng Xiaotian clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Congratulations on your completion of seclusion, Sect Master."
Shui Yue'er's eyes sparkled. " Lin Mo, you're finally out!"
Zhu Zhuqing stood at the edge of the crowd, a hint of joy flashing in her clear, cold eyes. Lin Mo's emergence from seclusion was also a very heartwarming thing for her.
Lin Mo nodded to everyone, then glanced around and, not seeing Shui Bing'er and Xiao Bai, felt a little puzzled.
Dugu Yan noticed his confusion and spoke first to explain, " Bing'er's cultivation just broke through to level seventy a couple of days ago. Sister Xiao Bai just took her out to obtain her Seventh Soul Ring, and they haven't returned yet."
" Sister Xiao Bai?" Lin Mo repeated the title in confusion.
Dugu Yan smiled and explained, "Didn't you tell me this before you went into seclusion? You told me to get along well with her."
After spending this time together, I've found that although Xiao Bai is Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, it's actually a pretty good person.
"Our relationship is quite good, especially Yue'er's. Yue'er has learned a lot of practical skills from Xiao Bai."
Upon hearing her name mentioned, Shui Yue'er chuckled foolishly twice, a look on her face.
" Sister Xiao Bai is so kind. She taught me a lot of fighting techniques in the sea and even took me to see the territory of the Demon Soul Great White Shark."
She paused, then added, "Those little sharks are so cute."
"Except for me."
Feng Xiaotian raised his hand sullenly, his voice filled with obvious resentment. "That idiot shark, for some reason, has been targeting me specifically during our sparring sessions."
"Every time it was my turn to spar with her, she would hit me really hard, and several times she sent me flying out of the sea."
Upon hearing Feng Xiaotian's words, Lin Mo subconsciously focused his mental energy to look at him.
With his spiritual power far exceeding that of Feng Xiaotian, he easily Frisk Feng Xiaotian's current Soul Power Level.
"Your cultivation level is almost 73, that's impressive. It seems you haven't neglected your cultivation during this time."
Lin Mo praised him.
"Hehe, that's right."
Feng Xiaotian chuckled, his expression revealing, "Although the immense pressure from the Sea God's Light is gone, our cultivation speed has slowed considerably. However, the pressure provided by Xiao Bai is just as strong, and it can still serve as a high-pressure breakthrough."
"And although she targeted me, she never held back during sparring sessions, always pushing me to my limits. The training after that high-pressure environment was far more effective than normal training."
Before long, Dugu Yan on the other side also raised her hand and took the initiative to report her cultivation level.
"I'm level 78 now, the same as Lingling."
As she spoke, she glanced at Ye Lingling, her eyes filled with a hint of something.
Hearing this Ye Lingling, standing to the side, nodded with a helpless look in her eyes.
Having finally Transcendence Dugu Yan's Soul Power Level by absorbing the Soul Bone, Dugu Yan has now caught up with him again.
In terms of improving their cultivation, Auxiliary System Tool Soul Master are at a significant disadvantage compared to Battle Soul Master like Dugu Yan, not to mention that Dugu Yan also possesses a Soul Core.
That Soul Core was constantly operating, continuously absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Power) and converting it into Soul Power. She really couldn't match that cultivation speed.
Shui Yue'er, standing to the side, jumped up and down excitedly, her face full of joy. "I'm improving pretty fast too! Half a year ago I was only level 64, but I just broke through to level 67 a couple of days ago!"
After remaining silent for a long time, Zhu Zhuqing, who had already regained her original appearance and voice, suddenly spoke, "My Soul Power Level is sixty-seven, and I'm about to break through to level sixty-eight."
Her voice was calm, but a glint of light flashed in her clear, cool eyes.
For Zhu Zhuqing, Sea God Island was naturally an excellent place to stay. If she could successfully pass the Black Level Five Trials and stay there, she would naturally not mind.
But if given the chance, she would still like to return with dignity, provided that she is strong enough.
Seven rings are definitely not enough; you need at least Eight-Ring Soul Douluo or even Titled Douluo cultivation level.
With a new goal in mind, Zhu Zhuqing, who was used to working hard to cultivate, chose to continue this habit.
Huo Wu, who was the last to speak, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
She scratched her head, a hint of embarrassment in her voice. "My current Soul Power Level is sixty-nine."
"I'm a little slower than Bing'er, but I'm close to breaking through too. I should be able to complete the breakthrough in another week or two at most."
She clenched her fists and encouraged herself. "By then, I'll be Soul Saint!"
"That's already very good," Lin Mo said, offering words of comfort.
His gaze swept over the crowd, and he nodded to himself.
Over the past six months, everyone has made significant progress.
Even without the aid of the Sea God's Light, they did not slacken their efforts in the slightest.
Immediately, everyone turned to look at Lin Mo, eager to know just how far Lin Mo cultivation had progressed.
Although a normal Soul Master's cultivation speed will decrease significantly after breaking through to the seventh ring, Lin Mo obviously cannot be classified as a normal Soul Master.
Huo Wu crossed her arms and tilted her head to look at Lin Mo: "Sect Master, you've been in seclusion for so long this time, your cultivation must have improved a lot, right? Tell me quickly, what level are you at?"
Feng Xiaotian also pricked up his ears, waiting for Lin Mo's answer.
Shui Yue'er moved right up to Lin Mo, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Lin Mo slowly revealed his current cultivation level. "I'm level eighty-eight."
Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately dumbfounded.
None of them expected that Lin Mo's cultivation speed would remain so astonishing even after breaking through to the eighth ring.
Level 88!
From the time Lin Mo broke through level 80 to now reaching level 88, it's only been a little over half a year, less than a year.
This was even after breaking through to the eighth ring, when the cultivation speed should have slowed down significantly.
Shui Yue'er couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, " Lin Mo, your cultivation has broken through so quickly, doesn't that mean you'll be able to become a Titled Douluo in half a year?"
She counted on her fingers. "You're only in your early twenties, right? Twenty-one or twenty-two?"
"Such a young Titled Douluo, he must be the first of his kind on the entire continent! He's probably the youngest Titled Douluo in history!"
"This is absolutely unprecedented, and I feel it's likely to remain so."
She became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice grew louder and louder.
Soon, Lin Mo raised his hand to interrupt Shui Yue'er's unrestrained reverie.
"It's not as simple as you think. I'll probably be stuck at Level 89 for quite some time before I break through."
"Just like back in level 79."
"The further Soul Master progresses in their cultivation, the harder it becomes to break through the bottleneck. Between level 80 and Level 90, each small level is a hurdle."
Especially the hurdle between Level 89 and Level 90, which has stuck countless Soul Master.
Before anyone could ask why, Lin Mo quickly changed the subject.
"After Bing'er comes back, let's go to Sea Dragon City for a get-together, just to relieve the pressure of your intense cultivation these days."
I'd also like to thank Xiao Bai for taking care of you all these past few days.
He looked at everyone and said casually, "I've already booked a place over there, so we can just go there."
At this point, Lin Mo looked at Huo Wu and added, "I prepared some things for you in advance, and now it's time to hand them over to you. Remember them."
Upon hearing this, Huo Wu looked completely bewildered.
Everything's ready. What is it? How come she didn't know?
Lin Mo had no intention of explaining to her at the moment, but instead subconsciously touched his Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse.
There lay quietly several Immortal Herb that he had prepared long ago.
Now that more than a year has passed since everyone left the mainland and landed on Sea God Island, it's time to distribute some of the Immortal Herb to everyone.
Before the Second Trial test arrives, he wants to help everyone improve their skills as much as possible, so that they can reach a higher level.
