Chương 146: Chapter 146: Condensing The Spirit Core
Tianwen Academy
Since returning from the Spirit Hall, Gu Yi had been deeply engrossed in exploring ways to enhance his strength more rapidly.
It was only after his encounter with Bibi Dong that he realized there was still a gap between himself and a true peak-level Douluo at Rank 99. Especially when facing someone like Bibi Dong, who possesses twin martial spirits, the gap was even wider.
This research had lasted for three months.
Fortunately, during this time, Tianwen Academy had already begun operating smoothly, so even though Gu Yi seldom appeared in public, there were no significant issues.
In these three months, his spirit power only increased by one level, reaching Rank 64. For others, this would be considered extremely fast, but for Gu Yi, such an increase in spirit power had little practical benefit. After all, if he relied solely on his spirit power to fight, he would at most be on par with a Spirit Douluo.
However, during this period of research, Gu Yi developed some new ideas.
The "Zhoutian Liuhe Jing," after reaching its current level, was no longer effective if focused solely on enhancing the control and application of heavenly power. The vastness of the heavens contains infinite power. Even if he could master all of it, it ultimately wasn't his own power. If he ever found himself in a place where he couldn't harness the power of heaven, or if his enemy delivered a swift, fatal blow, how could he defend himself?
Only by internalizing the great powers of heaven within himself could he truly achieve a state where even if the heavens perished, he alone would survive.
Gu Yi understood better than anyone that in the special environment of the Douluo Continent, trying to surpass one's level with sheer spirit power alone was impossible. Even with the "Zhoutian Liuhe Jing," it couldn't be done.
But Gu Yi did have an idea. If he couldn't increase the quantity of energy, he would focus on improving its quality.
The spirit power cultivated by the "Zhoutian Liuhe Jing," which was already superior to most martial spirits, still fell short of his requirements. If he wanted to concentrate his power and generate even stronger spirit power, Gu Yi's only solution was to condense his spirit power into a solid form. This would significantly amplify its strength.
However, the difficulty of this task was self-evident and not something easily achieved, especially given the all-encompassing nature of the spirit power cultivated by the "Zhoutian Liuhe Jing." Condensing such power into a solid form would be exceptionally challenging.
But if he succeeded, the benefits would be unprecedented.
Gu Yi was aware of two methods for condensing a spirit core.
One was a method humans would develop thousands of years later. This method was similar to the external alchemy practices studied in Taoism from his previous life. By using one's spirit power as a foundation, controlling it with mental power to rotate and compress it outside the body, and supplementing it with the energy of the heavens and earth, one could form a solidified spirit power, which would then be absorbed back into the body.
The other method was the one spirit beasts used to cultivate spirit cores. The most notable example was Di Tian, a super spirit beast that had lived for 800,000 years. His entire spirit power had been condensed into a black hole, causing space to collapse and drawing in massive amounts of heavenly energy into his body. When he fought, he could unleash tremendous power.
Between these two methods, Gu Yi leaned more towards Di Tian's approach, which involved using one's power to control the forces of heaven and earth. With his Primal Energy Domain, Gu Yi could freely manipulate all elemental energies within the domain. Space itself was also a form of elemental energy and could naturally be controlled by him. Even time, which was another form of elemental energy, though currently beyond his reach, could potentially be manipulated in the future.
However, compared to other elemental energies, these higher-level elements were much more difficult to control and understand. So far, Gu Yi hadn't made much progress in researching them.
Compared to his Evil Domain, the Primal Energy Domain was broader and more profound. Perhaps Gu Yi could mimic Di Tian's method and create a black hole of spirit power within his body. But Gu Yi decided to first focus on condensing a spirit core since the two methods were not mutually exclusive. Moreover, the spirit core itself was incredibly powerful, especially when fully condensed.
After all, in the end, the humans who created the spirit core method were victorious, which was a testament to its immense power.
Before beginning his cultivation, Gu Yi made sure to properly arrange the affairs of the academy. He had no idea how long this seclusion would last—everything was an unknown.
He didn't choose the academy for his retreat but instead headed to the Sunset Forest, arriving at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Not only was the energy of heaven and earth abundant here, but the presence of Dugu Bo also provided a significant measure of security. This was not an ordinary retreat; any disturbance could result in severe consequences, and Gu Yi wouldn't make such a basic mistake.
Returning to this familiar place, Gu Yi noticed that the cultivation level of the Blue Silver King had improved significantly. The vitality it had lost to him earlier had been fully restored and even strengthened. It seemed its cultivation had been smoother during this time.
Although bloodline was of great importance to spirit beasts, opportunities to enhance one's bloodline were scarce. However, for the Blue Silver Grass lineage, it seemed different. They only needed to cultivate gradually to approach a higher bloodline.
After a brief glance, Gu Yi averted his gaze. Unless this Blue Silver King transformed into a Blue Silver Emperor, it wouldn't warrant his attention. Besides, with his Primal Energy Domain, he could perfectly counter all elemental attacks.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Gu Yi began circulating his spirit power within his palm, gradually forming a vortex of spirit power under the control of his mental strength. As he continued to pour in more spirit power, the vortex spun faster and faster.
Once the vortex stabilized, Gu Yi began to multitask, controlling the stability of the vortex while drawing in the energy of heaven and earth.
Given his current mental strength, although it couldn't be called peerless, it was still formidable, and accomplishing this was relatively easy.
As the heavenly energy flowed in, the vortex became slightly unstable. This was expected and well within Gu Yi's calculations. With his powerful mental strength, he balanced the two forces, stabilizing the vortex.
During this process, Gu Yi even found time to sense the changes within the vortex. It was like a funnel, continuously filtering out impurities and becoming increasingly pure. As he continued to inject spirit power, the aura emanating from the vortex grew stronger, catching the attention of both the Blue Silver King and Dugu Bo within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
With the ongoing absorption of heavenly energy, the entire area began to channel its energy towards the small hut where Gu Yi was situated. Even Dugu Bo felt a pull on his own spirit power, though it was not enough to disrupt his strength.
The Blue Silver King felt the same kind of pull.
