Absorbing Soul Bones to Break Through to Soul Emperor

Chapter 59 Absorbing Soul Bones to Break Through to Soul Emperor

Jerry's body has fully adapted over this period of time, so it's ready to absorb the soul bone now!

He took out the 100,000-year-old Manjusaka head soul bone and scanned it with his mental power. He found that there was nothing in the soul bone except for a lot of soul power. No wonder absorbing soul bones can greatly improve the strength of a soul master!

Jerry then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to absorb the soul bone. To absorb the soul bone, as long as you use your soul power to touch the soul bone and connect with the soul power in the soul bone, a channel will be formed. Then the soul power seed in the martial soul will begin to absorb the soul power in the soul bone. After all the soul power in the soul bone is absorbed, the soul bone will enter the soul master's body and attach to the soul master's bones!

The absorption of the soul bone was rapid, entering Jerry's body and initially enveloping his head, stopping at his neck. Once his entire head was covered, Jerry felt wisps of soul power flowing through the head bone into his bones, gradually strengthening them until they were fully saturated. Only then did the strengthening effect begin to weaken. Jerry then realized that after his martial soul absorbed soul power, a portion was diverted to the soul bone, which then began to strengthen his entire skeletal system. No wonder everyone says the earlier you absorb a soul bone, the better! Because this strengthening is continuous; the earlier you absorb, the faster you strengthen.

Soon, all the soul bones were absorbed, and Jerry broke through to level 60. Although he felt that he was more than level 60, the higher the level of cultivation, the more soul power is required. This was Jerry's first time cultivating, and he did not know how much soul power was required for each level. Therefore, he did not know his exact level. He could only sense it after absorbing the soul ring!

Two soul skills: Spirit Spear and Spirit Shield, one offensive and one defensive, both very practical.

The head spirit bone is the most special of the six basic spirit bones. Besides enhancing physical strength and granting spirit skills, it can also boost mental power. Jerry then sensed it and found that his mental power could now cover 5600 meters. He then released his mental power and felt the world become clearer.

With his enhanced mental strength, Jerry noticed something different. Before, he could only vaguely sense the existence of soul power, but now it felt much clearer! The soul of every living being is composed of soul power. The stronger the soul, the stronger the soul power, and the stronger the mental strength, and vice versa!

Now he can feel his soul becoming somewhat solidified; before, he could only sense a very blurry shape! Jerry isn't sure what will happen after his soul solidifies, but he senses that the soul is something he can't touch right now, so he hasn't studied it any further!

With increasing mental strength, Jerry's control over his body, martial soul, and spirit rings grew stronger. He summoned his spirit rings and probed them with his mental power, only to find they contained nothing but spirit power. Furthermore, he discovered that the spirit power within the rings was not under his control. Previously, this spirit power was controlled by the spirit power seeds of spirit beasts, but after Jerry absorbed his own spirit power seeds, he could only use his own to unleash spirit skills. Only his 100,000-year spirit ring would periodically release some spirit power for him to absorb; the others were not releasing any at the moment.

Jerry was very uneasy about things he couldn't fully control. Every time Jerry released a soul skill, his own soul power would be transferred to his soul ring. This soul power would then draw upon the soul power within the soul ring to unleash the skill. After the skill was released, his soul power would slowly recover. Moreover, the soul power drawn each time was less than one-tenth of the soul power within the soul ring. This made sense; for example, a hundred-year-old soul beast could release many skills on its own, while a soul master, after absorbing the skill, would have to wait a long time to release it, partly due to obstacles from other attributes and partly because the soul power mobilized from the soul ring was relatively small!

Jerry's first spirit ring can absorb spirit power to grow due to the sunflower's properties. The other spirit rings aren't as special. Having observed the first spirit ring, I noticed that with each cultivation session, the spirit power seed within the martial soul transfers some spirit power to it, which the first spirit ring then absorbs, gradually strengthening itself! However, the martial soul doesn't transfer this spirit power to the other spirit rings. After some investigation, I can only attribute it to the sunflower's unique properties!

Suddenly, Jerry realized that the soul power seed in his soul ring had been absorbed by the soul power seed in his martial soul. He wondered if he could condense another one.

Then Jerry began to experiment, activating his soul skill. A surge of soul power entered his soul ring, and Jerry used his powerful mental strength to forcefully prevent it from drawing in other soul powers. He successfully isolated this surge of soul power from the others, completing the first step. The second step involved activating his soul power again. Another surge of soul power entered, and Jerry controlled the two swirls to come into contact, instantly merging them together. The second step was successful. Then Jerry began activating his soul power again and again. Finally, after the 100th fusion, the soul power began to condense into a soul power seed—a level one wood-attribute soul power seed. This time, the crystal ball didn't absorb it, nor did the soul power seed within his own martial soul absorb it; the soul power seed was successfully preserved.

As soon as the soul power seed condensed, it began absorbing the surrounding soul power. This seed was formed from the soul power released by the soul power seed within the martial soul, belonging to the same origin. Therefore, it quickly began absorbing the soul power from the soul rings. A level one seed absorbs slowly, so one has to wait. Then, using the same method, a wood-attribute soul power seed was condensed for the second, third, fourth, and fifth soul rings. Now, it was just a matter of waiting for them to finish absorbing the soul power from the soul rings. The second and third soul rings only had 999 years of lifespan, so they were quickly absorbed. After absorption, these two soul power seeds became level two.

Jerry felt that he no longer needed his martial soul to guide the release of his soul skills; he could directly use the soul power seeds in his soul rings to release them, and the skill effects were significantly improved.

A few days later, all the soul power in the soul rings had been absorbed by the soul power seeds within them. The first soul ring's soul power seed was level 5, the fourth soul ring's was level 4, and the fifth soul ring's was level 7. Furthermore, the soul power seeds in these five soul rings now absorb soul power from the world on their own, but this power is not transferred to Jerry; it only happens when Jerry cultivates his own martial soul!

These soul power seeds, it seems, will allow Jerry to better control his soul rings, so the goal has been achieved!

Then Jerry began to stabilize his cultivation. After all, such a surge in cultivation could make one feel somewhat unstable. Jerry knew that a tall building starts from the ground up, and a solid foundation is very important. Regardless of whether Douluo Continent requires a foundation, it is always right to lay a good foundation for each level, so it needs to be stabilized properly!

During this period, he has been consolidating his cultivation while simultaneously empowering the Dark Silver Light Grass and Golden Light Sword Grass. It has now been 50,000 years.

Now that my cultivation is stable, it's time to absorb my sixth spirit ring!

Having found the Holy Soul Grass King, it hasn't been idle lately. It possesses the ability to create clones, and later discovered that as long as it disconnects, each clone will grow into a new Holy Soul Grass. This discovery prompted the Holy Soul Grass King to directly strive to create its own race.

In a valley within the spiritual realm, the Sacred Soul Grass grows in dense, abundant abundance. Among the new Sacred Soul Grass are avatars of the Sacred Soul Grass Emperor—ah, so that explains it! No wonder the Sacred Soul Grass evolved directly into an Emperor after surviving a hundred thousand years of tribulation; it's practically an entire race in itself!

"Holy Soul Grass King, I'm level 60 now and I need a Soul Ring. How many clones do you have now?" Jerry asked.

"I now have 100,000 clones, many of which are in the spiritual attribute area, and two more are in the core area. The clone in the core area is already over 10,000 years old! I will now sacrifice myself to you, and then I can be resurrected directly in the clone in the core area. Moreover, I have now developed 640,000 subjects in this valley. With these subjects, I can recover even faster!" said the Holy Soul Grass Emperor.

Jerry felt a sense of familiarity with the help this group of people provided for cultivation. In the original story, when Tang San condensed his fifth spirit ring, all the Blue Silver Grass clans helped him. It seems that the clan does have its advantages and can even help with recovery. There are 640,000 people, and although many are ordinary, there are still a lot of them. It seems that now, besides the Blue Silver Grass clan, the Holy Soul Grass clan has the largest number of people!

There are many benefits to being part of a clan! Thinking about my own martial soul, I wonder if it still counts as a carrot. I can't summon carrots anymore. Next time I go back to Holy Soul Village, I must ask Grandpa Jack for more carrots. My martial soul is inherited from Grandpa Jack's, so I should be considered part of the same clan, right? Thinking of Grandpa Jack, he's almost level 20 now. I'll take him to get his soul ring when we get out!

Then, the Holy Soul Grass King began its sacrifice. Jerry's current physical strength was more than enough to absorb 100,000 years' worth of essence, so the Holy Soul Grass King no longer needed to suppress it. The absorption during the sacrifice was very fast, and it was successful in no time! His cultivation also began to break through, directly reaching level 66.
