After Huo Yuhao left, he returned to his room and began absorbing the celestial herb prepared for him. It was a fluffy plant, resembling a dandelion, with the crown hairs emitting seven colors of light: yellow, orange, red, green, blue, and purple. It was a vibrant display. Beneath the crown hairs was a bell-shaped involucre, golden in color, and the main stem below was dark purple.
The Seven Colored Exquisite Stamens, a celestial grade herb, had effects comparable to the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew that Tang Ya had consumed.
Following the instructions, Huo Yuhao first plucked off the crown hairs one by one. Then, he controlled his soul power to squeeze the involucre. After being squeezed, the involucre released drops of pure golden liquid, which Huo Yuhao collected.
Only when the involucre was completely shriveled and could no longer produce any juice did Huo Yuhao stop. He casually tossed away the withered involucre and the main stem, then put the crown hairs and the golden liquid into his mouth, chewed, and swallowed them.
Immediately afterward, the absorption of the medicinal properties began as usual.
However, after half an hour, not only did his martial soul, mental power, and soul power fail to increase, but he also felt a swelling pain in his head.
What's going on? I followed every step according to the records in the book, so how could this happen?
Huo Yuhao felt a bit flustered. The swelling pain in his mind was caused by the energy transformed from the Seven Colored Exquisite Stamens. This energy, similar to the source of spiritual power, was lingering within Huo Yuhao's body, but showed no signs of merging with him.
"Don't panic. Try transferring this energy into your Sea of Consciousness," Snow Emperor's cold voice sounded just as Huo Yuhao was at a loss.
"Snow Emperor, do you know what's going on? Why can't I absorb this energy?" Seeing Snow Emperor speak, Huo Yuhao felt that perhaps she knew something. After all, this woman had lived for so many years; it was only natural she knew some things unknown to others.
Snow Emperor fell silent for a moment before softly speaking, "That's just how the rules of this world are. Otherwise, why are ninety-nine ranked Title Douluo called the Ultimate? Because there's no room for improvement, unless they become gods, but becoming a god isn't so easy.
Your current situation is the same. Your spiritual power has reached the level of an Ultimate Douluo, so this celestial herb can no longer enhance you.
You can only introduce this energy into your Sea of Consciousness for now and temporarily seal it."
Oh, wow. Huo Yuhao was speechless after hearing Snow Emperor's answer. He couldn't quite describe how he felt. Logically, he should be happy, since even a celestial herb couldn't raise his spiritual power, which proved he was strong, right?
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Douluo Continent truly deserved its reputation as a fantastical world. He was already at the peak?
I just need to make a slight move, and I'm already at the limit.
Speaking of which, in the original story, he hadn't hit a wall with his mental power, and later broke through to achieve Divine Sense, didn't he? Why was he stuck now? Could it be due to his soul power cultivation?
Unable to figure it out, Huo Yuhao was also regretful, wasting such a precious immortal herb.
"Snow Emperor, it would have been great if you'd told me earlier," Huo Yuhao said with a wry smile, though he wasn't blaming her. After all, she wasn't obligated to tell him.
Hearing the pain in Huo Yuhao's voice, Snow Emperor smiled, "Is it my fault?"
Ugh, I'm speechless.
"Actually, I deduced the result based on your reaction after absorbing it."
Alright then.
Since it was already this way, what was the point of dwelling on the past? Soul power surged within his body, urging the energy transformed from the Seven Colored Exquisite Stamens to flow towards a single point, like a mighty river.
Space ability activated, forming a spatial funnel in the convergence point of the energy river, and then these energies were sucked in.
In the Sea of Consciousness, a similar spatial funnel appeared, and a large amount of energy transformed from the Seven Colored Exquisite Stamens poured out like a great river.
The Snow Emperor was just a weak wisp of a soul, and could only stay far away from the massive influx of energy. Sky Dream was, as always, sound asleep, so the task of gathering this energy fell on the Ice Emperor.
However, just as the Ice Emperor was frantically gathering this energy, Huo Yuhao's consciousness entered the Sea of Consciousness.
"Get out of the way, scram." Huo Yuhao casually shoved the Ice Emperor aside and took over the work. This was his domain, and it was naturally easy for him to guide this energy.
"Hey, what's with that attitude?" The Ice Emperor waved her small fist behind Huo Yuhao, looking disgruntled. Before long, all the energy transformed from the Seven Colored Exquisite Stamens was transferred into the Sea of Consciousness, and Huo Yuhao set up layers of seals.
The energy formed by the Seven Colored Exquisite Stamens was also seven-colored, and it was gathered into a large seven-colored ball within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness.
Watching so much precious energy that he couldn't absorb, Huo Yuhao's heart ached. Moreover, Huo Yuhao also discovered that after this thing was tainted with his aura, it could be considered to have acknowledged him as its master. In other words, even if Huo Yuhao wanted to give this energy to someone else, he couldn't.
Huo Yuhao finally understood what it meant to be useless yet a pity to discard.
As if sensing Huo Yuhao's thoughts, the Snow Emperor spoke again, "Don't be discouraged. From my observation, this energy is extremely pure, so it's not entirely useless."
Oh, perhaps there's a way out. Huo Yuhao looked at the Snow Emperor expectantly, hoping she would tell him that this time wasn't a loss.
"Do you know how the soul rings of soul beasts, after cultivating into human form, are formed?"
The Snow Emperor didn't answer directly, instead asking a seemingly unrelated question.
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, "After a soul beast cultivates, its original power is sealed within its body. When it needs a soul ring, it can then use this original energy to condense a soul ring that is most suitable for itself. Wait a minute..."
Speaking to this point, Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped, looking at the Snow Emperor and asking uncertainly, "You mean, I can also use this energy to condense a soul ring?"
"That's right, exactly." The Snow Emperor's answer confirmed Huo Yuhao's guess.
His gaze shifted slightly. Although he had spent ten years in the God's Bestowal Space, Huo Yuhao's understanding and application of soul skills and various powers had reached the pinnacle. However, he had absolutely no idea how to condense a soul ring. After all, he wasn't a Soul Beast and had no experience with transformation.
But after looking at the two women and the big, fat silkworm beside him, Huo Yuhao felt that this shouldn't be a problem.
"Alright, it seems this is the only way." Huo Yuhao felt like he'd taken a loss. The immortal item that was supposed to improve his aptitude had turned into a soul ring. How could he not feel like he'd lost out?
Sigh!
After a deep sigh, Huo Yuhao prepared to exit his Sea of Consciousness. Every glance he took at the Seven Colored Exquisite Stamens now felt like a stab of pain.
However, his peripheral vision inadvertently caught sight of the lazy silkworm. Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, feeling that he couldn't let this guy just keep lying around. He walked over, saw the drool coming from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mouth, and came up with a plan. He leaned close to Sky Dream's ear, gathered his energy in his dantian, and then shouted loudly, "Dinner's ready!"
"Huh, dinner's ready? Where? Where?" The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm leaped up as if it were an involuntary reaction, its round body wriggling. Its tiny eyes, like yellow beans, showed a hint of confusion, but none of that could stop its eagerness to eat.
"Pfft." Ice Emperor, who had been furious just moments before, burst out laughing instantly, and Snow Emperor did the same.
Hmm?
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm looked around, only then realizing he'd been tricked. "Huo Yuhao, it's all your fault. Ice Emperor and I were already at the final step, and you ruined everything!"
Sky Dream rolled around on the spot, his tone filled with grievance and complaint, just like a baby whose feeding had been interrupted.
Good heavens, so this guy was having a wet dream.
"Sky, Dream."
The Ice Emperor's furious voice rang out, and then she charged forward, swinging her fist.
"Ice, Ice, let's talk it over, let's talk it over! Ah, don't hit the face, easy, ah, ah..."
The screams were endless.
Jeez, that's rough. Huo Yuhao smacked his lips, averting his gaze, unable to bear watching.
