Chapter 222: One Qi Transforms into Three Purities

Within his line of sight, Xiao Wu's body gradually faded into nothingness.

On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing's bright blood-colored soul ring had already shrunk to her feet, with four yellow-yellow-purple-purple soul rings slowly pulsing inside the blood-red soul ring.

At the same time, a streak of blood-red light suddenly projected onto her left arm, and the phantom of a red arm bone flashed and vanished.

The system's voice also rang out in Shi Quan's mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully inducing Xiao Wu to perform a Sacrifice, triggering the Plunder Treasure Chest. Detected 1 triggered Plunder Treasure Chest. Integrating Plunder Treasure Chest..."

After a brief pause, the system's voice came again.

"Plunder Treasure Chest integration complete. A new Plunder Treasure Chest has been opened for the host. Congratulations to the host for obtaining One Qi Transforms into Three Purities!"

"Holy crap!" Shi Quan's pupils constricted; he even suspected he had misheard. "One Qi Transforms into Three Purities! Is this the Primordial era now?"

Shi Quan hurriedly summoned the system Storage Space to take a look.

One Qi Transforms into Three Purities: One of the thirty-six peerless divine abilities from "The Great Ruler".

Disordered memories, combined with dreams comparable to reality, were what made Xiao Wu face the death-defying rescue of Tang San; under the despair of such hope, she sacrificed her own life and soul.

"I am already level fifty-seven." Zhu Zhuqing's expression was very calm; she did not have the joy of a sudden surge in strength.

The Fifth Soul Skill, Dream Soul Captivation, has the ability to forcibly instill a large amount of chaotic and insane memories and thoughts into the target's mind, causing their consciousness to become chaotic and their sea of spirit to fluctuate violently, thereby causing distortion of thought and confusion of memory. If used properly, it can reach the level of brainwashing, and of course, it can also directly cause the opponent's spirit to collapse and crumble.

It was precisely by utilizing this ability that Shi Quan fabricated a memory of Tang San coming to save her based on the plot of Xiao Wu's sacrifice in the original work, and manifested it in the dreamscape with the help of Xiaomeng's ability.

"Did you increase by eight levels?" A smile also appeared on Shi Quan's face as he nodded.

The second step was to use Xiaomeng's dream control ability, combined with the ability of the Spirit Soul Martial Soul's Fifth Soul Skill, to keep Xiao Wu immersed in the dreamscape, unable to wake up, making her unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, thereby causing her to voluntarily sacrifice herself.

"It's nothing." Shi Quan regained his focus, looked at Zhu Zhuqing, and asked, "How was the harvest?"

First, use the illusion of Tsukuyomi to keep Xiao Wu's soul and mental state on the verge of collapse; this was the first step.

"What about the soul skills?" Shi Quan continued to ask.

During the time they practiced in the Water and Fire Dragon King's cave, Zhu Zhuqing had already reached level forty-nine. The improvement brought by the ten-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone was undoubtedly huge, allowing her to directly increase by eight levels.

"It's not the One Qi Transforms into Three Purities from the Primordial era? But the worldview of 'The Great Ruler' is not something Douluo can compare to. The Great Thousand World, the concepts are not even the same."

Note: This divine ability has been perfected and modified by the system, perfectly fitting the host, and contains the power of the True Spirit; the host's current strength is sufficient to practice it.

Why would Xiao Wu sacrifice herself?

This was inseparable from Shi Quan's step-by-step design.

"A Ghost Cat version of the Explosive Killing Eight Stage Slam? Stacking attack power and attack speed; if it could be combined with the Nine Yin Bone Claw, the upper limit of this soul skill would be a bit high," Shi Quan thought to himself.

Shi Quan still felt a burst of wild joy in his heart.

Zhu Zhuqing replied, "The soul ring has two soul skills. One is Void, which grants immunity to all non-energy physical attacks and weakens any energy attacks by fifty percent."

Xiao Wu's mental state was already at its worst due to the torture of Tsukuyomi; this interlocking induction, the hope born from despair, made her mistakenly believe that the dream was reality.

"The second soul skill is Explosive Killing Eight Stage Pierce, which allows me to perform eight stabs on the enemy in a short period of time. Each stab carries extremely strong penetration and defense-breaking capabilities, has a knock-up effect, and can stack attack intensity and speed. As long as the first hit lands, it is almost impossible to dodge the subsequent ones."

Although they were enemies, the scene of Xiao Wu sacrificing herself for love still brought quite a shock to Zhu Zhuqing.

"What's wrong, A-Quan?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at the slightly dazed Shi Quan, stepped forward to hold his palm, and asked softly.

This act was indeed a bit vicious, but when facing enemies, Shi Quan could not bring himself to be soft-hearted.

Zhu Zhuqing's voice continued, "Xiao Wu also provided me with a left arm soul bone. The soul bone skills are also two: one is Teleportation, with a range of one hundred meters, and the other is Invincible Golden Body, which can grant invincibility for three seconds. However, there is a limit to the number of uses; it can only be released three times a day. When Invincible Golden Body is released, one's own state will also have a certain boost, about double. However, like the Invincible Golden Body, it can only last for three seconds."

"Hiss..." Dugu Bo gasped, "This soul skill is a bit strong. Void granting immunity to physical attacks is already a bit exaggerated, and then there's Invincible Golden Body. Plus Teleportation—a ten-thousand-year soul ring directly maxes out your life-saving skills. And there's an attack soul skill like Explosive Killing Eight Stage Slam; it's both offensive and defensive."

"This is all thanks to Xiao Quan." Zhu Zhuqing nodded with a slightly flushed face.

"Lingling and Yan Yan both have True Dragon Soul Bones; our Zhuqing shouldn't be left out, right?"

"Alright, now we just need to wait for Yan Yan and Lingling to finish absorbing the soul bones and God-Bestowed Soul Rings, and then we can go to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Before long, Shi Quan brought Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Bo back to the cave.

"Zhuqing, our strength has changed quite a bit recently; let's consolidate it first."

After Shi Quan made some simple arrangements, he went to a corner. After Dugu Bo and Zhu Zhuqing were immersed in their cultivation, he sat down cross-legged.

His consciousness entered the system Storage Space.

His gaze fell upon One Qi Transforms into Three Purities.

"Extract!"

As Shi Quan's mind stirred, a ray of spiritual light emerged and slowly landed between his eyebrows!

Hum.

The spiritual light instantly spread out from between Shi Quan's eyebrows. In the blink of an eye, it completely enveloped his body. That point of crystalline light seemed to pierce through Shi Quan's forehead and penetrate his sea of spirit.

And Shi Quan's body also began to tremble violently at this moment. He felt a vast, sea-like amount of information crazily pouring into his mind.

The magnitude of that information almost instantly caused his mind to explode. This feeling was even more exaggerated than when he extracted the Nine Yin Nine Yang True Scripture. Fortunately, his mental power had already been tempered through thousands of trials, but even so, the intense pain still caused the veins on Shi Quan's body to crawl out like earthworms, making him look extremely ferocious.

Fortunately, Shi Quan specifically waited until Dugu Bo and Zhu Zhuqing were both immersed in cultivation before extracting it; otherwise, his appearance would inevitably have attracted their attention.

And while Shi Quan's expression was twisted, spiritual light suddenly condensed in the depths of his mind, and ancient characters quietly took shape within the light.

"One Qi Transforms into Three Purities!"

The characters of light condensed and dispersed, followed by the mysterious and profound heart technique flowing through, and it also contained a large amount of experience and insights from cultivation.

Shi Quan's mind was almost instantly immersed in that profound heart technique and insight.

With Shi Quan's current talent, it was difficult to fathom the mysteries of the profound content, but the various insights contained within acted as the best guidance for him, and those many points of mystery he could not comprehend gave him a sense of sudden enlightenment.

This was the power of the True Spirit mentioned in the system's note; otherwise, with Shi Quan's ability, even if he could practice it, he would not be able to succeed.

Shi Quan was completely immersed in the profoundness of comprehending One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, unaware of the passage of time.

A week passed, and the two women also woke up from the absorption of the soul bones.

The two Shiji True Dragon Trunk Bones were undoubtedly a huge improvement for both of them.

In terms of appearance, the temperament of both women had become more noble, their features more refined, and their figures taller and more voluptuous.

The martial souls of the two women also showed obvious evolution and mutation.

Dugu Yan's martial soul has completely evolved; the powerful fire attribute directly tempered Dugu Yan's martial soul. Although the poison attribute was retained, it is now primarily fire-based, with the poison attribute as secondary. The emerald snake body has turned fiery red and has completely transformed into a dragon.

As for Ye Lingling's Sacred Heart Begonia martial soul, it also underwent a mutation, transforming into a new form named Nine Nether Begonia, with its pure healing attribute shifting into pure water and ice attributes.

The martial soul has also become more magnificent, with different abilities in different forms. Although it possesses two different types of abilities, it is still the same martial soul.

According to the special terminology of the Spirit Master world, Ye Lingling's current situation belongs to one martial soul with dual spirits.

Under different forms, the soul skills are also not the same.

This is the Shiji True Dragon Soul Bone; if it were not for the power of a god, how could it have brought such astonishing improvements and changes to the two women?

Because of absorbing the Dragon Bone, Ye Lingling's strength has also reached level fifty in soul power.

Needless to say, Dugu Yan's soul power was already at level fifty before she absorbed the soul bone.

Looking at Shi Quan, who was still immersed in cultivation, the two women also learned from Dugu Bo and Zhu Zhuqing about what had happened during the time they were absorbing the soul bones.

Hearing that Shi Quan had successfully absorbed a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, the two women were also impatiently preparing to try absorbing God-Bestowed Soul Rings themselves.

They were clear about their own strength; not to mention absorbing all the energy within the God-Bestowed Soul Ring, their goal was to sprint for a Ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring!

Their bodies had absorbed the power of Immortal Herbs, were then transformed by the power of the dragon soul, later absorbed a True Dragon Soul Bone, and now have absorbed a Shiji True Dragon Soul Bone; this is the source of their confidence in daring to sprint for ten thousand years.

After simply consolidating, the two women also began their respective breakthroughs.

Watching the blood-stained figures of the two women persisting, Zhu Zhuqing had long since made a decision in her heart regarding her own Sixth Soul Ring: ten thousand years! She, too, would sprint for it!

Seeing this, Dugu Bo could be said to be heartbroken, but he also hoped that Dugu Yan could persist. A Ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring was something he previously dared not even imagine, but now it seems he has become accustomed to it. After all, with the precedents of Shi Quan and Zhu Zhuqing both possessing Ten-thousand-year Soul Rings as their Fifth Soul Rings, he naturally did not want his granddaughter to fall behind Shi Quan and the others...
