In these hundreds of thousands of years, how much time has the Snow Empress spent in the longing for divinity?
Even if each instance only lasted a few minutes of desire and imagination, accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years, it has become a deeply ingrained obsession.
"Guidance from the Ice God Bloodline."
The Snow Empress was certain that her initial perception came from the Ice God Bloodline within her. Su Tong's existence further confirmed this for her.
"Ice God..." Huo Yuhao murmured to himself.
The Snow Empress looked at the Ice Emperor with a hint of apology and said, "Bing'Er, when it comes to the Ice God's Divine Position, we might have to compete."
The Ice Emperor sacrificed for Huo Yuhao for the god-making plan.
The Ice God is definitely a very suitable Divine Position for Huo Yuhao, especially since he mentioned pursuing the Ice God Position during his last visit to the Land of the Far North.
"You don't have to feel apologetic about this. As far as I know, the Ice God is at least a First-level God, and a First-level God can bring at least two dependents to the Divine Realm for eternal life."
Su Yu explained this point.
Hearing this, the Snow Empress also breathed a sigh of relief.
Are there such hidden secrets?
Huo Yuhao looked at Su Yu in surprise.
How come I didn't know about these secrets?
The key is that I even attended Shrek Academy, and I haven't heard about this.
As expected, following Brother Yu reveals many secrets.
From the Life God to the Fire God, and throughout those traveling times, Su Yu has revealed various pieces of information, causing Huo Yuhao to label him as mysterious.
Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm often sighs, that wanting to become a god, befriending Su Yu can increase the success rate by thirty percent.
"However, from the looks of it, Snow Empress, you already have the confidence to find the Ice God's clues?" Su Yu was more concerned with this point.
From the Snow Empress's demeanor, it seemed like after finding Su Tong, she had gained strong confidence in finding traces of the Ice God.
The Snow Empress nodded and said, "Yes, I can feel the throbbing of the Ice God Bloodline within me. Following this guidance, I will definitely find information about the Ice God."
...
Divine Realm.
The God of Destruction held a scepter emitting a cold aura, revealing a smile.
The Ice God is indeed a powerful ally.
...
Su Yu casually asked the Snow Empress for some techniques on the fusion of Spiritual Power with Soul Power.
However, this discussion did not last long.
He and Huo Yuhao still needed to go compete in the Soul Guidance Contest.
After exchanging ideas for over two hours, they each returned. Su Yu and Huo Yuhao directly went to the black market to participate in the Soul Guidance Contest.
Arriving at the black market, Su Yu was still contemplating the crucial point raised by the Snow Empress this time.
This was a key point in the cultivation of Soul Masters that Su Yu had forgotten long ago.
Once reaching the Super Douluo level, or perhaps the Titled Douluo level, or rather throughout the entire Soul Master cultivation process, every increase in Soul Power continually enhances the Soul Master's compatibility with their Martial Soul, ultimately achieving fusion at Level 99.
"I really forgot about this point."
Although Kong Deming also reached the Super Douluo cultivation level, from Level 95 onwards, subsequent Soul Power increases relied on stacking Soul Rings, lacking deep insights.
Even though there was passive drive towards merging with the Martial Soul, there were fewer insights, coupled with the lack of comprehensive information from the Sun and Moon Empire on Soul Master cultivation, leading to Su Yu's oversight of this point.
"Hmm, I still need to visit the Sea God Pavilion if there's an opportunity, to see the records there, and the Golden Ancient Tree. Once my strength is sufficient, I definitely need to visit it." Su Yu thought to himself.
The Soul Guidance Contest posed little pressure for Su Yu. Returning to Mingde Hall, he still had plenty of energy.
He had some insights to digest.
But before that, he needed to discuss some details with Mirror Hongchen.
"What!" Mirror Hongchen looked at Su Yu and said, "You want to cheat?"
Su Yu's face turned dark.
What do you mean by cheating?
I just wanted to remind you that I'm planning not to follow the regular procedures in the upcoming rounds.
"I rely on my ability to draw lots; how is that cheating?"
Mirror Hongchen looked at Su Yu, folded his arms across his chest, with a disbelieving expression.
If you don't cheat, how can you guarantee that the draw result is what you want?
Su Yu briefly explained the principle of Power of Destiny simulations, then Mirror Hongchen waved his hand with a frown and said, "Alright, alright, I believe you now, don't explain anymore."
Any more explanation and I might unconsciously show a bewildered expression.
However, using Power of Destiny for this kind of thing is really outrageous.
"So, you plan to incite several major forces at the tournament using the Snow Empress, thereby further promoting Battle Armor?"
"Yes. By the way, I also want to promote the Soul Spirit System."
The Soul Spirit System?
That Soul Spirit System with not much practical use?
Mirror Hongchen showed a skeptical expression.
The Soul Spirit System seems promising, but in reality, it does not change the fact that it requires sacrificing Soul Beasts to boost the Soul Master's growth.
Even if widely adopted, its effects are limited, right?
"No, the current Soul Spirit System is still incomplete and imperfect. I already have a direction for improvement, and I should be able to make advancements in the coming days." Su Yu said calmly.
The era of needing Soul Beasts to sacrifice to gain Soul Spirits and thus owning Soul Rings is coming to an end.
Su Yu had new ideas.
The Snow Empress's reminder allowed him to realize many things.
Indeed, the cultivation of Soul Masters is the process of fusing the Martial Soul with oneself. So, if this ultimate goal can be promoted during cultivation, can it lead to faster training?
In other words, adding elements in the cultivation techniques to push the fusion of the Martial Soul with the Soul Master.
However, every Soul Master has different circumstances, so how can this be achieved?
Soul Rings.
Soul Spirits.
By improving the cultivation techniques and the Soul Spirit System, Su Yu believed he could develop a new Soul Spirit System.
To have Soul Beasts transformed into Soul Spirits?
In the end, it still requires the Soul Beasts to pay the price of their lives.
What if life is not needed?
Just a portion of Bloodline Power would suffice?
The essence of Soul Rings is still spiritual, without the Soul Beasts themselves, only the Bloodline Power can birth Soul Power, but spirituality is lacking, hence the need to add Spirit Nourishment elements in the cultivation techniques...
Mirror Hongchen felt a headache coming on and waved his hand for Su Yu to go back and research by himself.
"I believe you can perfect these things. What you said tonight, I also understand. We will arrange for Mingde Hall to deal with any changes at that time."
...
Su Yu left Mirror Hongchen's office, returned to the dormitory, and began the work on perfecting the cultivation technique and the Soul Spirit System.
With the experience of condensing Qi Blood Soul Rings, Su Yu found the development of techniques leveraging Bloodline Power to condense Soul Rings to be smooth.
Only the construction of spirituality posed a challenge.
But challenges are meant to be overcome.
When Soul Beasts die or transform into Soul Spirits to provide the source of spirituality and construct Soul Rings, there might be no downside. However, it fails to effectively promote the fusion of the Martial Soul and the Soul Master.
"And if a Soul Master, in their cultivation, spends some time exploring the spirituality of the Martial Soul, condensing Soul Rings, leveraging this process to promote the fusion of the Martial Soul with oneself, then the Soul Master's overall strength will definitely increase substantially."
"Directly absorbing external Soul Rings might be quicker to form?"
Not necessarily.
Further fusion between the Martial Soul and the Soul Master might slow down the acquisition of Soul Rings but greatly boosts basic cultivation. In regular training, the enhancements are also considerable.
Moreover, it brings increases in strength, along with theoretically easier development of longer lifespan Soul Rings, which are indeed attractive.
"Hmm, developing it isn't so easy after all."
Su Yu rubbed his brow, but his anticipation for the new Soul Spirit System grew stronger.
Perhaps rather than being the founder of a cultivation technique, the Soul Spirit System is the real reformation of the Soul Master realm, yielding massive belief gains.
"Soul Spirit," previously referring to a retained spirit body from a Soul Beast's spirit, but now the new Soul Spirit System would be entirely unrelated to spirit bodies.
"The cultivation system that excavates Martial Soul spirituality, constructs Soul Rings, and promotes the fusion of Martial Soul and Soul Master, abbreviated as the Soul Spirit System." Su Yu redefined Soul Spirit.
