"This is… the method to Cultivate a Spirit core?!"
Chen Yi was, of course, no stranger to Spirit cores. This was a necessity for every Titled Douluo ten thousand years later. When a Spirit Master Cultivated to the Titled Douluo level, their originally liquid spirit power would compress into a solid state, settling in the Spirit Master's Dantian to form a Spirit core.
The Spirit core would continuously rotate, absorbing external spirit power for the Spirit Master's use, allowing the Spirit Master's combat power and recovery ability to far surpass what they once were. Hence, there was a saying, "Achieve Titled Douluo, ascend to the heavens in one step."
Many readers consider the Titled Douluo of the later Peerless Tang Sect era to be the most watered-down Titled Douluo, as Titled Douluo from ten thousand years prior broke through relying on their own abilities, and their comprehension and application of their Spirit far surpassed those of the Peerless era.
It could be said that every Titled Douluo of this era, if placed ten thousand years later, would have the potential to become a Super Douluo.
However, in this era where the Spirit Master system was still incomplete, the vast majority of them could only be stuck at the level of an ordinary Titled Douluo, perhaps not even touching the threshold of a Peak Douluo.
As for the Dragon King Legend era, there's even less to say. The combination of Spirit Masters and technology, with their battle armor, truly made them invincible among those of the same rank and undefeated against those of higher ranks when facing traditional Spirit Masters!
So, this gave the Titled Douluo of the intermediate Peerless era a sense of being neither here nor there, making them appear particularly awkward.
Originally, Chen Yi planned to attempt to condense a Spirit core in the future, and he had even thought of his first target: Dugu Bo. After all, that old poison master had the foundation for condensing a poison pill, making his chances of condensing a Spirit core much greater than others.
But he hadn't expected that the God of Thunder had already brought out this Spirit core, which saved Chen Yi at least ten years of hard work in the future!
For the Body Sect, this was even more like a timely help.
Although the Body Sect currently looked very strong with three Douluo in one Family, it was, of course, actually very strong.
Aside from Spirit Hall, the reclusive Sea God Island, and the Clear Sky Sect, which might have been on drugs in the Late Stage, this lineup was already quite formidable.
But the problem was, for the Body Sect to gather all Body Martial Soul Spirit Masters under its wing, it would inevitably have to emerge. However, in the current Spirit Master's world, the overt resources have essentially been divided up by Spirit Hall, the major Empires, and Spirit Master Families. To get a share, they would inevitably have to clash with other forces. Without strength, why would others give them such a large piece of the pie?
Moreover, with this Spirit core Cultivation method, Chen Yi believed that the Body Sect's strength would experience explosive growth. His father, Chen Zhen, and the Third Elder would soon be able to Breakthrough to Titled Douluo. If they added the Immortal Herbs later, the Body Sect could have at least eight Titled Douluo when it emerges in the near future!
What is the concept of eight Titled Douluo? The Clear Sky Sect in its Late Stage only had seven Titled Douluo, and the reclusive Sea God Island also had about this number. Excluding Spirit Hall, this was the strength of a hegemonic force on the Douluo Continent.
This power was enough to become a decisive force in changing the future continental landscape, and it could also allow the Body Sect to achieve a very good position in the greatly changed Douluo Continent of the future.
At the same time, the arrival of this Spirit core Cultivation method solved the major problem of whether the Body Sect could continue to prosper in the future. After all, the efficacy of whale gum would be discovered one day, and the Immortal Herbs nurtured by the Double-boiled hot pot (Mandarin Duck Pot) took too long to mature. This Spirit core, which could be condensed by oneself, was the key to whether future generations could preserve the foundation laid by their predecessors.
At the very least, even if the Body Sect were to decline in the future, it could still publicize the Spirit core Cultivation method, earning the title of a founder of the Spirit Master Cultivation system and the creator of the Spirit core system, bestowing favor upon all Spirit Masters in the world.
At that time, all Spirit Masters in the world would owe the Body Sect a favor.
Chen Yi caressed the Spirit core Cultivation method in front of him, and a surge of unspeakable bitterness welled up in his heart. With the God of Thunder's Cultivation, this Spirit core was of no use to him at all. Researching this item was clearly meant to add some foundation for Chen Yi. With such intentions, how could Chen Yi not be moved?
"Teacher, rest assured, your Disciple will definitely change the fate of my two Senior Martial Uncles and the God Realm, and in the future, I will also see that higher scenery for you!"
After a while, Chen Yi withdrew his thoughts, looked outside, and sighed softly:
"It's time to go back!"
Outside, in the Qi and Blood Soaring Hall.
Three days had passed since the Awakening ceremony. After Chen Yi was enveloped by the light cocoon, Chu Shanhe and the others moved him to a side room within the Qi and Blood Soaring Hall.
At this moment, Mu Xi looked at the light cocoon with slightly red eyes, her expression haggard and her aura weak, clearly the result of not resting for a long time.
"You rascal, how can Awakening a Spirit cause such a big commotion? I've never heard of anyone having this kind of thing happen when Awakening their Spirit."
"Yi'er! Come out quickly, and I'll make you your favorite braised beef, okay? Then I'll take you to Hanhai City to play with your father."
...Heartbreaking murmurs echoed in the quiet room. Ever since Chen Yi fell into the light cocoon, Mu Xi had been sitting by the bed, silently watching over him.
Even though the Sect Master and the Grand Elder both said that Chen Yi would be fine and would wake up soon, she agreed verbally but simply couldn't set her mind at ease.
Just as Mu Xi's voice was choked with sobs, and her fingertips gently brushed the surface of the light cocoon, the layer of purplish-gold light suddenly trembled slightly.
She froze abruptly, her breathing unconsciously softening. Her previously dim eyes instantly lit up, staring intently at the light cocoon.
The next second, the light on the cocoon receded like a tide, quickly fading away to reveal the figure of the young man sitting cross-legged inside.
"Yi'er!" Mu Xi lunged forward, her trembling hands caressing Chen Yi's cheek. Feeling the warm touch, her tears could no longer be held back and rolled down.
"You've finally woken up! You scared your mother to death, do you know that?"
Chen Yi slowly opened his eyes, still with a hint of confusion from just waking up. After seeing the face of the person in front of him, he smiled weakly and reached out to hold her hand: "Mother, I made you worry."
As soon as he spoke, Chen Yi realized his voice was a little hoarse, but a never-before-felt power surged within him. It seemed that this time, whether it was the gradual Awakening of his Bloodline or the Awakening of his Spirit, it had made Chen Yi's body much stronger.
Mu Xi let go of Chen Yi after a long while, carefully examining him. She first reached out to touch his forehead, then pulled his hand to check, and after confirming that he was truly safe and sound, the first smile in three days finally appeared on her face:
"It's good that you're fine! It's good that you're fine! Tell your mother what you want to eat, and I'll go make it for you now."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi couldn't help but curve his lips upwards. He grabbed her hand, which was pinching and prodding him, and comforted her: "Your son is fine, it's just that my voice is a little hoarse from not speaking for a few days. But I just heard you say you'd make me braised beef. Once I recover a bit, I'll go eat the braised beef you make."
Mu Xi gently patted the mischievous little rascal, scolding him with a smile: "You, you're just a little glutton, you never forget about food!"
Not long after, Chu Shanhe and the Grand Elder, having heard of Chen Yi's Awakening, also appeared in the room. Seeing that Chen Yi was fine, both of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The candlelight flickered in the room. The Sect Master and the Grand Elder exchanged glances, their gazes falling on Chen Yi. "Yi'er, release your Spirit."
The Sect Master's voice was steady, carrying an air of scrutiny.
Chen Yi nodded, his spirit power surging around him. His entire body rapidly expanded by a circle, and purplish-gold lightning coursed through him.
At this moment, a profound halo suddenly lit up between his eyebrows, and a pressure far exceeding the scope of a Spirit Master quietly spread—with him at the center, the space within a ten-meter radius actually rippled with faint lightning patterns.
Tiny pebbles on the ground trembled slightly, pulled by an invisible force, and the lightning elements in the air seemed to be summoned, converging towards him.
"This is…" The Grand Elder suddenly sat up straight, his eyes filled with shock. The Sect Master's pupils also constricted slightly, his fingertips unconsciously tightening around the armrest: "A Domain! It's an Innate Domain!"
Chen Yi himself was slightly surprised. He could clearly perceive that within the Domain, his control over lightning had increased severalfold. At the same time, the lightning patterns at the edge of the Domain flickered, subtly forming an invisible barrier that isolated other auras within.
The Grand Elder quickly walked to the edge of the Domain and reached out to touch the layer of lightning patterns. A tingling electric current ran through his fingertips, and then he was gently but firmly pushed away.
"Such a powerful Innate Lightning Domain!" He turned to the Sect Master, his voice unable to hide his excitement, "Not only is Yi'er's Spirit Awakening special, but he also has an accompanying Innate Domain. His future achievements are limitless!"
Just then, the Grand Elder's mental force swept across, and his pupils immediately constricted.
"Rank twenty?!"
