Chapter 181: The Second Soul Core, Bibi Dong's Decision
Sea God Island.
In the quiet room of the City Lord's Mansion in Seahorse City.
Su Mo was still in seclusion.
This time, while condensing the dual soul cores, he had no prior experience from predecessors to draw upon and could only rely on exploring step by step himself.
The risks involved were akin to walking a tightrope on a sheer cliff, with an abyss beneath his feet; the slightest carelessness would result in being smashed to pieces.
If not for Su Mo's absolute confidence in his physical fitness and Spiritual Power, he would not have dared to rashly attempt the path of Yin-Yang Complement.
Fortunately, everything was proceeding along the trajectory he had deduced.
At this moment, Su Mo could clearly introspect and see the independent second soul core within his body, rapidly rotating in the exact opposite direction to the first soul core.
Moreover, it was spinning faster and faster, emitting a strange humming sound, having completely broken free from the gravitational interference of the first soul core and forming an independent energy vortex.
By this time, the energy accumulated by the second soul core was extremely close to that of the first soul core.
Next came the most critical and also the most dangerous step.
When the energy of the two soul cores reached the same level, a violent conflict would erupt.
During this conflict, an explosive Fusion would occur.
If successful, it would mean he had mastered the Yin-Yang Complement dual soul cores, and his strength would undergo a qualitative leap.
If it failed, the energy would spiral out of control, causing his body to explode and resulting in death.
Suddenly, Su Mo's body shuddered violently, and his brows furrowed tightly.
The two soul cores within his body had reached an equal level of power.
In an instant, an extremely powerful sensation of pulling and tearing exploded from the deepest part of his body.
His aura became chaotic, sometimes gushing outward like a raging storm, and sometimes suddenly retracting like a receding tide, repeating in a cycle.
Fortunately, Su Mo's physical fitness had long since reached the body of a demigod, and Asura Divine Power flowed within him, so for the moment, no major problems had occurred...
Meanwhile, outside the cultivation room.
The air was permeated with a lingering anxiety.
Bibi Dong, Ah Yin, and Ye Qingshuang sat together.
Their bodies were tense, and their gazes were cast from time to time toward the tightly closed door of the cultivation room.
Since completing the Sea God's trials, they had returned here.
Except for resting and Cultivating, they spent almost all their time guarding here, waiting for Su Mo to emerge from seclusion.
As for Bo Saixi, she was not here at the moment.
She had not yet fully inherited the Sea God's God Position and still bore the responsibilities of the High Priest, so she mostly needed to guard the Sea God Temple.
However, she would come over every night to check on Su Mo's situation.
"Sister, why hasn't Su Mo come out yet?" Ye Qingshuang's eyes were full of worry.
"That's right, two months have already passed." Ah Yin's voice was soft, and the worry in her eyes was equally thick.
Bibi Dong gently consoled them: "Rest assured, Su Mo's strength is formidable; he will be fine. Moreover, I can sense that his aura has been very stable, which means everything is still under his control..."
Suddenly, Bibi Dong's words came to an abrupt halt.
She stood up abruptly, her face full of gravity.
Just a moment ago, she had clearly perceived an extremely chaotic aura coming from the cultivation room.
It was completely different from Su Mo's usual aura.
Ah Yin and Ye Qingshuang's strength was not weak either; the second after Bibi Dong sensed it, they also clearly captured that chaotic aura, and they all stood up, their faces pale with alarm.
"Sister!" Ah Yin's eye sockets quickly reddened, and her voice already carried a hint of a sob, "What is going on? Why has Su Mo's aura suddenly become so chaotic? Did he... did something happen to him?"
"No, I must go and check immediately. In case something unexpected happened to him, I can still provide timely treatment."
As Ye Qingshuang spoke, she was about to rush toward the door.
"Wait!" Bibi Dong was quick-eyed and nimble-handed, grabbing Ye Qingshuang's arm.
"Qingshuang, calm down. What if you suddenly barge in and disturb him? Perhaps he is currently at the most critical moment, and any external interference could cause him to fall short of success, or even..."
Bibi Dong did not continue with the rest of her words, but Ye Qingshuang and Ah Yin both understood the meaning.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang stopped in her tracks, her impulsive thoughts extinguished as if by a basin of cold water.
Just now, she had been too worried about Su Mo; concern leads to chaos, which was why she had been impulsive and almost caused a major mistake.
She grabbed Bibi Dong's hand in return and stopped speaking, only staring fixedly at that door.
Ah Yin silently walked to Bibi Dong's side and tightly held her other hand.
The three women said no more, and the hall fell into a deathly silence.
They were like three statues of women waiting for their husbands, all staring fixedly at that door.
Time seemed to be stretched countless times, and every minute and second became incredibly slow.
Finally, after a quarter of an hour, the door that had been tightly closed for more than two months was quietly opened.
Su Mo's figure walked out from within.
He looked a bit exhausted, but his expression remained calm.
"Su Mo!"
"Su Mo, you finally came out of seclusion!"
"That's great, you scared us to death just now!"
Seeing Su Mo walk out of the cultivation room safe and sound, the three women, Bibi Dong and the others, rushed forward at the same time and surrounded him.
Ye Qingshuang even threw herself directly into his arms, hugging him tightly, her body still trembling slightly.
Su Mo looked at the lingering terror on the three women's faces, and his heart warmed.
He raised his hand to gently pat Ye Qingshuang's back in his arms, then looked at Bibi Dong and Ah Yin, smiling gently: "Alright, don't worry, aren't I fine?"
His tone was light and indifferent.
But in reality, only he knew the danger of just now.
There were several times when the conflict between the two energies almost exceeded his control.
If it weren't for him forcibly stabilizing it with divine force and his own physical fitness being strong enough, perhaps he would have truly failed completely, and everything would have vanished into smoke.
It was no wonder that in later generations, the number of existences capable of Cultivating Yin-Yang Complement dual soul cores could be counted on one's fingers.
One must know that even someone as strong as the Snow Empress had ended in failure when condensing the Yin-Yang Complement dual soul cores.
When the three women heard that Su Mo had succeeded, they were immediately overjoyed.
Ye Qingshuang was even laughing and crying at the same time.
After their emotions calmed down a little, the three women, Bibi Dong and the others, curiously asked about the dual soul cores.
Su Mo put his arms around them and sat down, explaining to them in detail the two completely different paths of Co-position Resonance and Yin-Yang Complement, as well as their respective advantages and disadvantages.
A long time later, Su Mo finished speaking.
"I have decided," Bibi Dong said firmly, "I also want to walk the path of Yin-Yang Complement in the future."
Although she loved Su Mo very much and enjoyed the feeling of being protected by him, she was not willing to let her strength fall too far behind his.
She wanted to become someone who could fight side-by-side with Su Mo and face everything together, rather than a vase that forever hid behind him.
Since Yin-Yang Complement was more powerful, she would choose this path, no matter how difficult it was.
"Dong'er." Su Mo frowned slightly, "Yin-Yang Complement is extremely dangerous; even I almost failed. The pain and danger involved far exceed your imagination. Are you sure you have thought it through?"
"I have thought it through." Bibi Dong did not hesitate at all and nodded heavily.
Immediately, she pouted and said coquettishly: "What, do you not believe in me? Do you think I can't do it?"
Su Mo shook his head helplessly and chuckled.
"How could that be? My Dong'er is the most amazing."
Su Mo raised his hand to dotingly pat her head, then his expression became a bit more serious: "But you must absolutely not attempt it rashly; you must have my consent before you can begin. Do you understand?"
Bibi Dong knew that Su Mo was so serious because he was concerned about her safety, and her heart immediately felt as if it were coated in honey.
Her face immediately blossomed into a smile, and she nodded obediently: "I know."
