Collective Breakthrough

Chapter 69 Collective Breakthrough

Jerry, Xiao Wu, and Lingling arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest this time and, without stopping, quickly flew to the core area on their swords.

"Daming, Erming, we're back!" Xiaowu shouted happily!

"Jerry, Xiaowu, Lingling, you're back!" Da Ming said!

"Yes, we've hit a bottleneck in our cultivation. Besides absorbing spirit rings, we're also planning to increase the concentration of spirit energy in the forest this time!" Jerry said.

"That's great! By the way, Jerry, I have some news for you!" Da Ming said!

"What news?"

"The immortal herbs and other medicinal herbs you brought back before have become soul beasts!" Da Ming said!

"What? They've become soul beasts?" Jerry suddenly realized that it was because of the special terrain of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well that they hadn't become soul beasts. He had planted them himself, thinking they wouldn't become soul beasts in the future. Now that they had become soul beasts, it was a bit of a problem!

"Yes, they've all become soul beasts, and their talents are all excellent! The eleven immortal herbs you mentioned became 100,000-year-old as soon as they became soul beasts, many others are already 10,000-year-old, and the rest are 1,000-year-old. Their talents are far superior to the original plants in the forest!" Da Ming said!

How could it not be good? Ordinary herbs can't survive in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!

Then we arrived at the area where the herb jelly is grown!

Upon seeing the eleven ancient herbs, each a hundred thousand years old, Jerry said, "Hello, I'm the one who planted you here!"

"Oh, it's you! Thank you. It would be even better if you could move the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass somewhere else! It's so annoying to look at it!" said Liehuo Xingjiao, who had a better personality.

"I find you annoying!" the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass retorted!

It seems they really are incompatible! They're probably arguing every day now!

"I remember it was you who took my dew. I was already conscious then, which is why I'm at the lowest level now," said Wang Chuanqiushuilu.

"By the way, I have a question for you. Now that you've become soul beasts, do you still have your original abilities?" Jerry asked.

"Haha, you're so silly! When we become soul beasts and get stronger, the effect will be even better!" said Liehuo Xingjiaoshu!

"Oh! Right, I need three spirit rings to come back this time. Can you sacrifice yourselves to us? This time I can stay a little longer, and then we can nurture you into 100,000-year spirit beasts!" Jerry asked!

"Great! Great! I've wanted to sacrifice myself for ages, didn't you know? After sacrificing, our cultivation will become much faster. The old spirit rings seemed to be limiting us, but without them, that limitation is gone!" Everyone chimed in at the mention of sacrifice! They all wanted to be the first to do it!

However, Jerry and his friends only needed three, so in the end Jerry chose the Qiluo Tulip for himself, wanting to see if his martial soul could evolve. Jerry had always envied those with innate level 20 soul power!

The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum was chosen for Xiao Wu, just like her master's martial soul. Xiao Wu already likes close combat, and it would be even better if she had an indestructible body!

Jerry originally chose the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" for Lingling, hoping to enhance her spiritual power. However, the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" claimed that it takes ten thousand years of cultivation to condense a single drop of dew, so Jerry gave up on it. Considering that Lingling's physical strength was relatively weak, he chose the "Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone" for her, which nourishes tendons and bones and unblocks the eight extraordinary meridians. He didn't know if it would have this effect after absorbing the soul ring, but even if it didn't, it wouldn't be a loss!

Then they called Xiao Wu and Ling Ling over, and the three of them began absorbing the soul rings!

After absorbing the spirit ring, Jerry's spirit power level broke through to level 75, and his mental and physical strength were further enhanced. Jerry himself didn't know exactly how much stronger he had become. The spirit's appearance remained unchanged, but the spirit power crystal suddenly sprouted root-like structures that ran through the entire spirit, resembling meridians at first glance!

The 100,000-year-old Qiluo Tulip provided Jerry with the seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body, which was incredibly powerful. It increased all his attributes tenfold and enhanced the power of all his soul skills tenfold. Jerry knew that other soul masters were lucky if their Martial Soul True Body could increase their power by 50%!

This time, I gave Jerry a torso soul bone, but he hasn't absorbed it yet in order to get another boost!

Xiao Wu has also finished absorbing the power and directly broke through to level 66. Her mental strength has increased by another thousand meters, now reaching 4050 meters. She has a passive soul skill called Indestructible Body, which means that absorbing the soul ring can also restore the original medicinal effects! She also has an active soul skill called Metal Control, which allows her to control all metal-related objects, reminding Jerry of the Iron-Eating Ant.

"Xiao Wu, you have the potential to be a master craftsman! We'll be relying on you for weapons from now on!" Jerry said.

At the same time, Jerry also gave Xiao Wu a piece of her right leg bone. Jerry told Xiao Wu to put it away first and absorb it after her body had adapted!

Lingling was a little nervous, a little excited, and a little incredulous when she absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring for the first time!

After absorbing the Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle for 100,000 years, his physical strength was greatly improved, his skin became smoother and more delicate, and at the same time, his mental power could finally be projected outwards, with a range of 1000 meters.

So now Lingling can easily engage in close combat with others!

However, one thing is certain: the 100,000-year-old spirit ring only provided Lingling with six times the healing and damage effects, nothing else. The basic healing effect was also greatly improved. It seems that the Nine Heart Begonia spirit is truly born for healing, and absorbing anything cannot change the spirit skill!

Lingling was very lucky; her first soul bone was a 100,000-year-old torso bone, but she wasn't allowed to absorb it now.

Then, while teaching Lingling mental skills, they set up a simulated training ground!

The Starry Sky Forest was too vast for Jerry to manage, so he notified the leaders of each region, told them how to arrange the forest, and let them arrange it themselves!

After the concentration of soul power increased, the soul beasts cultivated faster. So when Jerry came up with the method to increase the concentration of soul power, he immediately notified the soul beasts in various areas. The soul beasts that were in seclusion were all brought out to work, and it was another scene of bustling activity.

Two months have passed, and Jerry is preparing to leave. During these two months, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, the Narcissus Jade Bone, and the Qiluo Tulip have all been cultivated to the age of 100,000 years thanks to Jerry's efforts.

These immortal herbs were very difficult to propagate, and Jerry tried several times but failed. Finally, he had no choice but to pick them by hand, obtaining a single bloom of the Myriad Treasures Chrysanthemum and a single petal of the Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma. The loss of a plant's body would cause a decline in soul power, but Jerry could perform a ritual of infusion, so none of that would be a problem!

Even the long-awaited dew couldn't escape being fleeced by Jerry, spending a whole month desperately trying to condense dewdrops.

Jerry gave the dewdrop to Xiaowu and Lingling, and their mental strength increased to 9999 meters but couldn't increase any further. Jerry also took some, but it had absolutely no effect on him!

It seems that only when one's mental strength breaks through ten thousand meters will one be able to open up divine consciousness. For such a breakthrough, the dewdrop has no effect. It seems I'll have to nurture you more, Sacred Soul Grass. Although you yourself can no longer sacrifice yourself, you have many offspring!

After this breakthrough, the newly condensed soul power seed was still at level one. After absorbing the soul power, it grew to level 7. Previously, it could reach level 10 because of the breakthrough in cultivation technique. I regret it a bit. I should have waited until I became a Title Douluo before breaking through the cultivation technique.

However, during this period, his first spirit ring had reached 60,000 years, the second and third had both reached 10,000 years, and the fourth spirit ring had reached 30,000 years. The other spirit rings were also around 110,000 years old!

Xiao Wu is no less capable; her first four spirit rings are all ten thousand years old. Ling Ling only condensed her spirit power seed this time, but during this period, her first and second spirit rings reached one thousand years old, and her third spirit ring is about eight thousand years old!
