Thinking this way, Huo Yuhao felt he really needed to seriously consider it. The reason he was so eager to condense a Soul Core so early was simply because the external spirit bone caused blockages in his body, slowing down his cultivation. However, he didn't have to fixate on the Soul Core. He could just wait a year. After a year, his body would fully assimilate the spirit bone, and he could return to normal.
He didn't want to waste time, but considering the danger of condensing a third Soul Core, Huo Yuhao felt there was no need to take the risk. It wasn't about being afraid, but rather, why risk it when he could develop steadily?
Moreover, he wouldn't be doing nothing during this year. He could use this time to familiarize himself with his various abilities, such as the power of space. Now that his mental power had broken through again, Huo Yuhao could better comprehend the mysteries of space.
Secondly, there was his physical strength. Perhaps lightning tempering could be put on the agenda.
The most important thing was the Heavenly Demon Technique. Previously, with the breakthrough in his mental power, the Heavenly Demon Technique had already broken through to the early stage of entering the Dao. However, the Heavenly Demon Technique only had three layers. Ming Zhihan, that short-lived ghost, hadn't figured out a fourth layer yet. It seemed he would have to take matters into his own hands.
Honestly, Huo Yuhao really didn't have much confidence in this aspect. Fortunately, the cultivation technique wouldn't limit his cultivation. There was no saying that without a cultivation technique, his cultivation would stop progressing. The cultivation technique was a booster for cultivation, but it wasn't essential; it just greatly improved the effectiveness of cultivation.
In the original story, why did Dai Yuhao condense a Soul Core so early? Wasn't it because his soul power wasn't enough during battles? But this was precisely what Huo Yuhao was least worried about.
Hmm, I'll start condensing a Soul Core when I become a Title Douluo, and an Ultimate Douluo will condense a second Soul Core. If I succeed in condensing a third Soul Core after becoming an Ultimate Douluo, what would happen? Is there a possibility of directly becoming a god? Huo Yuhao thought naively.
Seeing the change in Huo Yuhao's expression, Bingdi asked, "Well? Have you thought it through?"
Huo Yuhao came back to his senses and looked at Bingdi seriously, "You're right, I was indeed a bit too eager for quick success. But since we're on the topic, I still want to know the cultivation method for the Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core, so I can plan ahead."
Bingdi blushed, and arrogantly turned her head away, "Don't ask me, I don't know."
So Huo Yuhao could only turn his gaze to Xuedi again. This time, the latter didn't continue to mock Huo Yuhao, but after pondering for a moment, she slowly said, "When a Soul Core is formed, it's equivalent to the core of your soul power. All soul power revolves around it, it is used for enhancement and control."
"If there's only one Soul Core in your body, there naturally won't be any problems. But what if a second Soul Core appears? Which core should the soul power focus on? Of course, this question is actually unnecessary, because when establishing the second Soul Core, it will inevitably involve the first Soul Core, causing the first Soul Core to become unstable. In severe cases, it might even explode on the spot. After all, the essence of a Soul Core is a highly compressed soul power bomb. In fact, your self-created soul skill is based on the principle of a Soul Core."
Huo Yuhao listened carefully, knowing that Xuedi was referring to the Rasengan.
"There are two ways to solve this problem. The first one is relatively simple and low-risk. That is, when establishing the second Soul Core, find the rhythm and frequency of the first Soul Core's operation, and then follow it. This is what most of you humans choose, the so-called Same-Position Resonance. In this case, you can consider the second Soul Core as the first Soul Core's underling."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile. Bingdi's way of speaking was quite interesting, and the metaphor was also quite apt.
"The second type is called the Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core. When establishing the second Soul Core, it must go against the first Soul Core. For example, if the first Soul Core turns right, then the second Soul Core must turn left. Not only that, everything must be completely opposite to the first Soul Core."
"During this period, you not only have to maintain the operation of the first Soul Core, but also completely separate the second Soul Core, getting rid of the interference of the first Soul Core. Then, you need to continuously strengthen the second Soul Core, making it reach the same level as the first Soul Core. At this time, the conflict between the two Soul Cores is the greatest, and you need to control the balance and complementarity with all your might. After the conflict, they merge. At this point, the Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core can be achieved. But if it gets out of control during the collision and fusion, there's only one path - death, unless your strength is enough to suppress the two Soul Cores."
Speaking of this, Xuedi's face rarely revealed a hint of fear. "Back then, I failed to condense the Yin-Yang Complementary Second Soul Core, which led to damage to my origin. This is why I wasn't confident in surviving the next Heavenly Tribulation, so I thought of using the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus to remold myself into a human."
Xuedi explained it in an easy-to-understand way. Huo Yuhao had mastered the Rasengan, so it wasn't difficult for him to understand. But he knew deep down that theory was just theory. The Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
Otherwise, there wouldn't only be one Ditian who had succeeded in cultivating it. As far as he knew, the three great Ultimate Douluo of the current era, Mu En from Shrek Academy, Ye Xishui, the Holy Spirit Cult's leader, and her old lover Long Xiaoyao, all took the path of Same-Position Resonance."
So far, only Ditian, the Beast God who ranked first among the Ten Great Beasts, had successfully completed the Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core. Even someone as strong as Xuedi had failed.
Realizing the danger involved, Huo Yuhao abandoned the idea of condensing a Soul Core before becoming a Title Douluo. In his plan, he would condense the first Soul Core when he broke through to Title Douluo. If possible, he could then use the second Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core to strive for the ninety-ninth-level Ultimate Douluo. If that didn't work, he would condense a Same-Position Resonance Soul Core.
If there was a greater possibility, he could try to condense a third Soul Core after achieving Ultimate Douluo.
This was actually a very bold idea. Possessing three Soul Cores simultaneously was unprecedented in history. Even Ditian only had two. In the original story, only the protagonist, Dai Yuhao, and Tang Wutong managed it. Dai Yuhao's success was also a near-death experience; if it weren't for Xuedi's help, he would have been finished.
As for Tang Wutong, she was a joke, coasting along without any real struggle. She was merely a tool for her deadbeat father to manipulate Dai Yuhao.
It was the terrifying potential of a third Soul Core that made Huo Yuhao adopt a more cautious approach.
If anyone knew his thoughts just now, they would scoff. A mere Soul Ancestor, and he was already talking about Title Douluo, level ninety-nine? Where did he get such confidence?
Having sorted things out, Huo Yuhao didn't intend to continue the conversation, but before leaving, he had one more request, "Xuedi, I'd like to learn something about your understanding of spatial power. Would that be possible?"
Despite Huo Yuhao's casual teleportation, which made him appear and disappear like a phantom among Soul Masters of his level, it was nothing in the eyes of a Title Douluo. The understanding of spatial power by an Ultimate Douluo like Xuedi was far beyond his capabilities.
Now that Huo Yuhao's spiritual power had reached the level of an Ultimate Douluo, it would be much easier for him to comprehend spatial power compared to before. If Xuedi was willing to share her understanding of spatial power, Huo Yuhao would save himself a lot of trouble, not necessarily by copying it directly, but by drawing inspiration from it.
Du Busi couldn't be of much help in this regard; his understanding of space was limited, being below the level of Ultimate Douluo.
Huo Yuhao didn't actually have high hopes. Not everyone was willing to imprint their cultivation insights for future generations to study.
Xuedi shook her head gently. Seeing this, Huo Yuhao wasn't surprised. They weren't related, so why would she help him? The fact that she had told him about the cultivation method for the Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core was already quite generous.
