Chapter 145: Soul Master Treasure Chest, Spirit God Art

Chatting until late at night, Shi Quan and Dugu Bo then each returned to their rooms.

Early the next morning, after saying goodbye to the three women, Shi Quan left the academy alone. After entering Heaven Dou City, he blended into the crowd, wandered around several times, and used the Phantom Concealment Mask to change his appearance multiple times. After ensuring no one was following him, Shi Quan then left Heaven Dou City.

He first went to Tianluo City to visit his parents. The two of them kept each other company; on ordinary days, they would cultivate, read books, and go for a stroll in the city when they had nothing to do, living a very leisurely life.

Sometimes, Shi Quan quite envied the leisurely and carefree life his parents led.

After asking about their recent situation, Shi Quan helped his parents check their physical conditions; both of their soul power had reached Level 15, so their cultivation speed was not considered slow.

Deep night.

Shi Quan's soul power had already reached Level 40. To break through the level, one of his martial souls had to absorb a fourth soul ring, and there was no one around.

He sat cross-legged in the room, with silver radiance falling down.

Everything around him became as if it were illusory, and the phantom of Xiaomeng appeared behind Shi Quan.

The silver radiance began to gradually condense, eventually slowly transforming into a new soul ring.

At the same time, that familiar voice of the system finally sounded in Shi Quan's mind once again.

Note: After extraction, the content of the cultivation technique will be automatically transmitted into the host's mind.

"Mental cultivation technique?"

However, every time one performs the tracing, there will be an improvement in Mental Power, and during the tracing process, it also has a purifying effect on Mental Power, which can be transformed into Divine Sense; Divine Sense possesses the efficacy to influence the outside world.

Shi Quan turned his head to look at the sky outside where the bright moon hung high, and silently recited "extract" in his heart.

His soul power also broke through Level 40 at this moment.

The Spirit God Art is a pure mental cultivation technique used to enhance one's own Mental Power and soul strength.

Spirit God Art: Gathering spirits and condensing the mind, a special mental cultivation technique.

Shi Quan moved his mind, summoned the System Space, and looked at the strange wooden slip at the end of the space.

The next second, Shi Quan felt a large amount of knowledge beginning to pour into his mind.

There are nine methods of tracing, and the further one goes, the more difficult it becomes, but the improvement effect is also more significant. After cultivating to the end, the Mental Power will eventually transform into a Spirit God with one's own appearance, condensing in the Sea of Consciousness, which feels very much like the Nascent Soul in those immortal cultivation novels.

After carefully reviewing the content of the Spirit God Art, Shi Quan could not help but feel a bit of excitement in his eyes.

Refining the soul, condensing Divine Sense.

In less than an hour, the content regarding the Spirit God Art was completely imprinted in Shi Quan's mind.

The content of the Spirit God Art was not as complicated as Shi Quan had imagined.

Mental-type martial arts are a special method of using mental and soul power, which can allow your Mental Power to erupt with greater might; for mental power, it at most serves as a training effect, mainly used for combat.

The Spirit God Art and martial arts are two different ways of cultivation.

"Spirit God Art? A cultivation technique?"

The entire process has extreme requirements for time, speed, and trajectory.

The focus of this cultivation technique is to condense one's own mind in the Sea of Consciousness—that is, the so-called Upper Dantian, the Mud Ball Palace between the eyebrows—and to depict one's own soul statue within the Sea of Consciousness. The so-called depiction is actually controlling one's own Mental Power to trace oneself in the Sea of Consciousness according to a specific trajectory.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for breaking through to Soul Ancestor. The path of the Spirit Master has advanced a step further. Triggering the Soul Master Treasure Chest, it has been opened for the host. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Spirit God Art."

"Interesting. A ten-thousand-year soul ring will produce a Spirit Shock. Is the system afraid that I won't be able to withstand the Spirit Shock and specially gave me a mental cultivation technique?" Shi Quan thought to himself.

"Ameng."

"Present." Xiaomeng's silver figure landed beside Shi Quan's shoulder.

Shi Quan raised his hand, lightly touched Xiaomeng's head, and asked, "Can you still evolve soul rings?"

"I cannot. My previous intuition was not wrong; four soul rings are already my limit." Xiaomeng shook her head gently, her expression disappointed.

"Four soul rings, and the soul skills are interlinked; that is already very impressive."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true." Shi Quan nodded and then said, "Ameng, I will share some things with you; see if you can try to cultivate them."

Saying this, Shi Quan shared all the content regarding the Spirit God Art with Xiaomeng.

"I can cultivate it." Xiaomeng's happy voice came, "Quan, I feel that after I cultivate it, it should also be of no small help to you."

Shi Quan chuckled, "It's good that you can cultivate it. When we encounter problems, we can discuss them together."

Under normal circumstances, a natal soul spirit will improve as the Spirit Master's strength improves, but if the natal soul spirit improves its strength due to some special reasons, that improvement of the natal soul spirit will also feed back to the Spirit Master.

The two are complementary.

Since Xiaomeng, as a soul spirit, can cultivate the Spirit God Art, it also proves that other Spirit Masters can also cultivate it.

Shi Quan prepared to try cultivating it himself first, summarize it, and then teach it to Ye Lingling and the others later, so that when they absorb ten-thousand-year soul rings later, they can also sprint for higher-year soul rings without worrying about the Spirit Shock brought by ten-thousand-year soul rings.

As for the tracing in the cultivation of this Spirit God Art, only after cultivating it did Shi Quan realize it was truly not simple.

The first layer requires dividing one's own consciousness into three strands, and the speed and trajectory of each strand of intent are different; if there is the slightest error, one must start over from the beginning, which truly has high requirements for one's own Mental Power.

"Tsk tsk, this Spirit God Art even comes with a cultivation method for Distraction Control. However, if this Divine Sense and Spirit Sense are combined, it also provides me with a new train of thought for the Sword Controlling Method."

After staying with his parents for three days, Shi Quan initially mastered the first layer of the Spirit God Art, and then after teaching the first layer to his parents, he said goodbye to them and left.

An illusory figure drifted past from mid-air. Shi Quan looked at the several dense forests marked on the map in his hand and murmured, "Should I absorb the soul bone?"

The soul bone Shi Quan spoke of was naturally the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.

To be precise, it was the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone after absorbing the Lovesick Heartbroken Red.

Shi Quan had not directly absorbed the strengthened hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone at the time; he had previously prepared to find something else to strengthen the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, such as Life Gold or some special treasures with Life Attribute.

"Forget it, let's wait until the fifth soul ring. Maybe I can even get a Blue Silver King Soul Bone, who knows..."

A flash of brilliance passed through Shi Quan's eyes, and his figure sped toward the dense forest on the map.

These dense forests were exactly the hiding places of the Blue Silver King that Shi Quan had inferred based on the descriptions in the original work.

In the original work, Tang San was taken by Tang Hao to awaken his Blue Silver Emperor martial soul when he broke through Level 50, and he obtained his fifth soul ring as his natal soul ring.

As for what restrictions there were on the awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor, it was not clearly indicated in the original work, but according to Shi Quan's inference, it must have had to do with his own endurance.

When Tang San in the original work awakened the Blue Silver Emperor, he possessed two soul bones—a fifty-thousand-year Wisdom Skull and the External Spirit Bone Eight Spider Lances—and his soul power level was Level 50, with his physical fitness having been tempered for a year by practicing the Chaotic Cloak at a two-hundred-meter waterfall.

Although Shi Quan is currently only at level 41 in strength, he also possesses two soul bones, and the quality of each one is higher than Tang San's; as for his physical fitness, Shi Quan's Third Soul Ring was already close to ten thousand years, definitely no worse than Tang San's.

Therefore, Shi Quan feels that he can fully attempt to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor.

In this way, his Fourth Soul Ring from the Blue Silver King can also be resolved, and awakening the Blue Silver Emperor should also trigger another Plunder Treasure Chest.

Killing many birds with one stone.

It is definitely worth a try.

Two days later.

"It seems it is not this forest." On the outskirts of a dense forest, Shi Quan opened his eyes and could not help but shake his head.

Because the original work did not specifically point out the hiding place of the Blue Silver King, he could only roughly infer it based on the descriptions in the original work, and then go from one place to another, sensing according to Tang San's method in the original work.

Shi Quan possesses a Spirit Soul Martial Soul, and coupled with Xiaomeng's Natural Affinity ability, he has already lost count of how many times he has done things like sensing Blue Silver Grass; such things are easy for him to handle.

He stood up to move; the surroundings were already a wilderness rarely visited by people, so he naturally had no scruples and directly leaped into the air.

Several hours later, Shi Quan shook his head again.

"This one is not it either."

Shi Quan could only stand up again and head toward the next location.

Until three days later.

Shi Quan arrived at a vast, ancient forest, the outskirts of which were still covered with Blue Silver Grass.

Shi Quan sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and spread his Mental Power to begin sensing.

"King? It is truly the aura of the King, great King, is it really you? You have finally come to us, thank the heavens." An aged voice suddenly sounded in Shi Quan's heart without any warning.

"Finally found it." Shi Quan's eyes snapped open, with unconcealable excitement in their depths, and it looked like the Blue Silver King had not discovered his abnormality.

"King, please come to me, is that possible?" The Blue Silver King's urgent voice came, carrying a strong sense of longing.

Shi Quan then stood up and walked into the forest according to the Blue Silver King's guidance; wherever he went, the Blue Silver Grass on the ground seemed to be calling out in excitement, swaying gently with a rhythm, as if dancing joyfully for Shi Quan's arrival.

"I don't know if the Blue Silver King will sense that I possess the bloodline of the Emperor because I Devoured the Blue Silver Emperor; to be safe, I still have to be a little careful."

Shi Quan thought to himself as he walked along; after about an hour, he passed through two trees that would take several people to embrace and finally saw the true appearance of the Blue Silver King.

Looking out, it was a special plant formed by countless vines twisted together; each vine was as thick as an ordinary person's waist, entirely azure, and emitting a faint fluorescent light. In the center, the vines were twisted, outlining the traces of a human face, as if smiling.

"Is it you who is calling me?" Shi Quan looked at the Blue Silver King with burning eyes and asked a question he already knew the answer to, his hands behind his back; if the Blue Silver King showed any unusual movement, he would immediately flee.

"Yes, great King. It is I who am calling you." The human face formed by the Blue Silver King Vine moved, revealing a very human-like expression, and its large mouth opened, spitting out human speech...
