Chapter 658 Absorbing Soul Rings, Condensing Soul Cores (Part 2)
"Uncle Taotie, how should the attribute of that kid Mo's second soul core be determined? And..."
Di Tian wasn't surprised at all.
But he still asked, because the second soul core wasn't cultivated through resonance, but through the Yin-Yang complementarity method.
Yin-Yang complementarity means that soul power and spiritual power are opposites. Therefore, the second soul core also needs its own attribute. For example, Xuan Mo's first soul core was primarily based on devouring and earth elements.
"Space power and time power."
Before Di Tian could finish speaking, the Earth Dragon King blurted out without hesitation, as if he had already planned it.
This surprised Di Tian!
"Time power! This..."
Di Tian hesitated, because space power was easy to understand, but time power... even Di Tian himself wasn't confident in comprehending it... so what about Xuan Mo, who had only absorbed the Evil Emperor's soul ring?
As if he had anticipated Di Tian's hesitation, the Space Dragon King looked at him and explained, "You're probably worried about his comprehension of spatial and temporal power. You can rest assured about that. He passed my test regarding spatial power, and with my soul bone, there's nothing to worry about. As for temporal power…"
At this point, the Space Dragon King glanced at Xuan Mo, who was absorbing a soul ring and struggling against an energy source, "As for temporal power, do you know why Mo can't absorb this energy? Originally, we wanted to seal all the energy. But after some thought, we decided to extract the temporal power from it and let him comprehend it during his cultivation."
"I see."
Di Tian immediately understood.
"Di Tian, you're going to teach him to condense a second soul core, right?"
Just as the Earth Dragon King finished speaking, the Ice Dragon King suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Di Tian, if Mo condenses a soul core, the two soul cores will complement each other, so where in the three dantian will the second soul core occupy?"
"According to my idea, it will occupy the space between the eyebrows."
"The space between the eyebrows..."
The Ice Dragon King calculated for a moment, then secretly shook his head, rejecting Di Tian's theory. "No, Mo's second soul core cannot be activated in the space between the eyebrows. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for him to create his own godhood in the future."
Humans can only activate their soul cores in three places: the upper dantian in the space between the eyebrows, the middle dantian in the chest, and the lower dantian three inches below the abdomen.
If it is activated in the space between the eyebrows this time, it can indeed form yin and yang complementarity.
But when it comes to activating the third soul core and creating one's own godhood, there will be big problems. Because ever since the matter of soul cores came to light, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings have been thinking about it. The first soul core is composed of Xuan Mo's most basic soul power and attributes, which is unavoidable. As for the second soul core, according to the setting of Xuan Mo's future path to godhood, it is to choose to be composed of two extremely strong attributes in the form of yin and yang complementarity.
Originally, the five dragon kings were going to choose the two attributes of life and destruction, but when they learned that the Evil Emperor had the power of time and destruction, they changed their minds.
That is to allow Xuanmo's second soul core to comprehend the attributes of space and time.
The third soul core, then, would become Xuanmo's divine essence, his divine position. The second and first soul cores would form the foundation for Xuanmo's third soul core, and time would also become part of Xuanmo's divine position.
In other words, if Xuanmo chose to open his second soul core at his brow, he would likely face significant difficulty in condensing his third soul core and using it as his divine essence.
Therefore, the five Dragon Kings had already planned this. They had decided that Xuanmo's second soul core would not only open in a yin-yang complementary manner, but also open at his chest, leaving his brow empty. This would increase the likelihood of him opening his third soul core at his brow. And at that time, the third soul core would only face interference from the soul core at his chest.
"I understand the intentions of my five uncles and aunts."
Thus, under the influence of the five Dragon Kings, Di Tian communicated with Xuanmo, who was absorbing the soul ring, and helped him condense his second soul core.
"Condensing the second soul core at his heart..."
Because he was preparing to condense the soul core, the five Dragon Kings had sealed away all the energy of the soul rings, freeing up his mind.
As for the power of time, it had already left an imprint on Xuan Mo's soul power when he absorbed the soul rings. Therefore, the presence of time power was sufficient for condensing the soul core.
"If I were to cultivate a second soul core, I would have to establish it in my chest. However, the mountain dragon king's soul bone resides there, so if the second soul core were to primarily utilize spatial and temporal power, it would likely be interfered with by the life attributes of the mountain dragon king's soul bone. Furthermore, I would need to concentrate all my spiritual power into the second soul core in my chest, leaving only soul power in the first soul core. Once I successfully condense the second soul core, then the first soul core would control the soul power, while the second soul core would control the spiritual power that retains its attributes. When the two complement each other, the soul power and spiritual power would naturally communicate, forming a fusion of soul power and spiritual power. Then, when I use any soul skills and abilities, they would simultaneously possess the characteristics of both."
"However…" Xuan Mo's expression tightened slightly, then relaxed again, "Although this would be extremely difficult, I must try it no matter what. It seems I need to be careful."
With that, Xuan Mo nodded and closed his eyes.
He didn't begin immediately but instead started adjusting his state. Only by maintaining peak condition could he succeed. The more crucial the moment, the less he could afford to be hasty. At the same time, he should first adapt to the power of the spirit ring in case of any unexpected events.
Meanwhile, outside.
Watching Xuan Mo retract the spirit ring into his body and reach the level of ninety-five, the Space Dragon King and several other dragon kings exchanged glances. "Then you will protect him outside. As the wielder of spatial power, I will keep an eye on things for him in his sea of consciousness."
Hearing the Space Dragon King's words, the other four dragon kings naturally had no objections. However, the Ice Dragon King said to him at this moment.
"This time, the Yin-Yang complementary spirit core is being condensed. The spirit core that Mo boy is going to rebuild is of spatial and temporal attributes. Under these circumstances, you are indeed more suitable. But at the same time, you must pay attention to the mental fluctuations in your sea of consciousness and keep it stable. After all, there will be mental power present in this spirit core."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Just then, Di Tian suddenly spoke up.
"My five uncles and aunts, there's something I've been wanting to tell you all, about condensing the soul core. Perhaps we can postpone it for a while. Let's condense it again when we return to Douluo Continent and go to the Lake of Life in Star Dou. After all, the immense life force contained within condensing a second soul core is extremely useful. I was able to condense my Yin-Yang complementary second soul core in the life-filled waters of the Lake of Life. I believe Mo-boy will find it useful."
"You don't need to worry about that."
As the Ice Dragon King answered the Mountain Dragon King's question, the Space Dragon King's phantom had already vanished. Clearly, he had returned to Xuan Mo's sea of consciousness.
"The Mountain Dragon King's torso contains a vast amount of life attribute, which will be even more beneficial to him in relation to the Lake of Life. Moreover, it's currently the time when Mo-boy has just absorbed his soul ring, and the time imprint is at its deepest..."
