"Xiao Tian, when are you planning to go to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest? Er Ming and I can go with you," Da Ming said very solemnly.
Although they might not be of much help, they could at least guide the way. Moreover, by then, he should have reached 200,000 years of cultivation, so going to the central area would give him a bit more confidence.
Otherwise, if Xiao Tian, as a human, went alone, the negotiation might not even start before that bear directly swatted him with a paw.
Xiao Tian thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a bit. At least wait until I'm a Titled Douluo before going to the Star Dou Great Forest. Only then will I have the qualifications to negotiate with the co-lord of the Spirit Beasts."
"However, I do need your help with something later."
During this time, Xiao Tian planned to condense his mental soul core. Although he could also condense it in the Spirit Time House, he still chose to cultivate more, and then, after coming out, he prepared to have Da Ming, Er Ming, and Ah Yin, the three Spirit Souls, assist him in rapidly condensing his mental soul core!
Once the mental soul core was successfully condensed, his mental force would rise to another level, and his Sword Intent would also be greatly strengthened.
Moreover, after the mental soul core was condensed, he would have completed the task issued by the system. Not only would he gain another 200,000 points, but most importantly, with the Xuanyuan Sword Embryo, he could use it as the array eye to construct a great Sect protecting array.
With this Sect protecting array, he could safely go out for training.
During his absence, even if a Divinity's main body personally intervened, this Sect protecting array could resist for a moment, and through the connection between the Xuanyuan Sword Embryo and himself, he would immediately detect any danger to the Sect and be able to rush back very quickly.
With his current spirit power and mental force, activating the Shrink Ground into Inches technique would allow him to return quickly.
It's a pity he doesn't have the Travel character secret; otherwise, his speed would be even faster, and it would also increase the probability of him activating the All character secret.
However, with his current strength, activating the All character secret wouldn't be too difficult, but he still needed to give himself a bit of a sense of crisis to successfully activate it, which was a bit of a downside.
System: This is meant to be activated when you face a life-and-death crisis. You want to activate it with just a little sense of crisis? How would others play then?
After leaving the Sect, Xiao Tian thought that with his strength at that time, he should be able to reach the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. There were two million-year-level dragon corpses, dragon souls, and Spirit Bones there.
However, Xiao Tian was still conflicted about this.
If he was going to see Gu Yuena in the end, then he shouldn't forcefully possess these two dragon corpses. It would be best to learn from Tang Wulin and find a suitable place to bury them.
As for the million-year Spirit Bones, he would see what fate held.
With his strength, he wasn't necessarily dependent on these two million-year Spirit Bones. And to be honest, if he had the chance, he also wanted to visit the Dragon Valley.
What kind of scene did Tang Wulin see back then that allowed him to resist the temptation of so many Spirit Bones and spend three years burying them one by one?
If it were him, could he do it?
Moreover, the Dragon Valley seemed to be a separate small plane, not within the Douluo plane. Once inside, it seemed not so easy to get out, right?
Gaining the recognition of the dragons was the best choice.
Also, the system had previously given him a map of the Polar North Land. Should he go to the Polar North Land for a trip?
After All, there were two Heavenly Kings in the Polar North Land: Ice Empress and Snow Empress. But what reason should he use to persuade them?
Tell them they were about to die? That would probably just lead to a fight immediately.
Forget it, he would take it one step at a time.
Xiao Tian immediately decided to go to the Polar North Land first, and then to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to bury the Ice and Fire Dragon King. It would be great if these two Dragon Kings could take him to the Dragon Valley.
He would learn from Tang Wulin, burying dragons for a thousand days to gain their recognition. Then, when he met Gu Yuena and Di Tian, they should not fight him and would be willing to negotiate with him, right?
Da Ming asked somewhat curiously, "Tell me."
Xiao Tian calmly said, "I'm going to condense my mental soul core, and I need the three of you to guard me."
They were aware of the concept of the soul core, so they nodded very seriously.
Xiao Tian hummed in acknowledgment and looked at Xiao Wu, saying, "Xiao Wu, tomorrow you and Rongrong will enter the Spirit Time House. Later, I will teach you how to condense a bloodline spirit ring. With your current foundation, your sixth spirit ring probably won't be able to directly reach 100,000 years. Since that's the case, don't condense your destined spirit ring in the original way, but through the bloodline spirit ring method."
Xiao Wu nodded, feeling a warmth in her heart.
Subsequently, Xiao Tian instructed Xiao Wu to find Rongrong and have them both prepare. He himself led Da Ming, Er Ming, and Ah Yin to a dedicated cultivation room.
"Alright, let's begin now!" Xiao Tian slowly sat cross-legged in the center of the cultivation room. Da Ming, Er Ming, and Ah Yin stood steadily in a triangular formation about a meter away from him. In reality, with Xiao Tian's current formidable strength, he didn't need their assistance at All. However, with their help, the speed of his soul core condensation would be slightly faster.
Xiao Tian tightly closed his eyes, fully concentrating on feeling the mental force within his body. At this moment, his sea of consciousness was like a raging storm, with turbulent waves.
Time slowly passed, and gradually, two hours went by. Under the careful protection of Da Ming, Er Ming, and Ah Yin, the three Spirit Souls, Xiao Tian's mental force and spirit power closely combined, intermingling and continuously compressing.
Gradually, at the location of the upper dantian, wisps of spirit power and mental force began to slowly gather and bind, gradually forming a core that, though tiny, was extremely stable.
This core continuously absorbed the surrounding energy, growing bit by bit, and its light became increasingly dazzling. Finally, a complete mental soul core was successfully condensed.
With the birth of the mental soul core, Xiao Tian's spirit power directly jumped from seventy-first level to seventy-fourth level, and his mental force also received a tremendous boost!
"Phew—it's finally successful!" Xiao Tian stood up, gently stretched his body, and carefully felt the significant improvement in his current strength, feeling a sense of exhilaration.
The strength increase brought by condensing a mental soul core was equivalent to four or five months of arduous cultivation in the Spirit Time House.
Da Ming, Er Ming, and Ah Yin looked at him and also breathed a sigh of relief.
Er Ming's deep voice sounded, "Xiao Tian, do you think the three of us can also condense a soul core?"
Xiao Tian thought for a moment. For Spirit Beasts, it seemed they could only condense Yin Yang soul cores, right?
