Chapter 231: Life Gold

Under Di Tian's powerful offensive, the two ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts had no ability to resist at all and were soon defeated.

Looking at the unconscious Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python, Shi Quan suppressed the excitement in his heart.

He was in no rush to absorb their Spirit Rings; in the original work, Tang San reached level sixty and accepted Xiao Wu's Sacrifice, breaking through directly from level sixty to level sixty-five.

When Shi Quan accepted the Blue Silver King's Sacrifice, his soul power level had also already reached level sixty, but because the Blue Silver King's Sacrifice was for his fifth Spirit Ring, the increase in soul power was not reflected.

But one thing is certain: Shi Quan's current soul power level is at least close to level sixty-five.

The soul power increase brought by a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring is undoubtedly huge; if Shi Quan's true soul power has indeed reached level sixty-five now, absorbing a single ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring alone would likely raise his soul power to around sixty-eight or sixty-nine.

But if he were to absorb two ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings at once, Shi Quan is certain that his Spirit Soul should be able to cross directly from level sixty to the next bottleneck, which is level seventy.

In that way, the Spirit Master Treasure Chests could be integrated once again.

After the Plunder Treasure Chest was integrated, it produced a divine ability surpassing the Shiji level like One Qi Transforms into Three Purities; what kind of treasure would be produced by integrating three Spirit Master Treasure Chests?

Aside from diligent cultivation, a large part of the reason for Shi Quan's rapid increase in strength is the soul power increase brought by Spirit Rings.

"Di Tian, before absorbing their Spirit Rings, can you give me the Life Gold first?" Shi Quan looked at Di Tian.

This number alone was enough to make them unable to imagine it.

"Then isn't it the same as the Water Dragon King?" Ye Lingling covered her mouth and said, "No wonder its strength is so powerful."

Seeing Di Tian leave, the group could not help but crowd around.

The group was immediately taken aback.

Dugu Yan asked, "Then how strong is Di Tian's strength?"

"Di Tian is the current leader of the Spirit Beast clan, and his true form is a Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King," Shi Quan introduced.

Shi Quan nodded and said, "It is not as if there are no people among humans who can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Di Tian; the Spirit Hall's Qian Daoliu, Sea God Island's Bo Saixi, and Tang Chen, all three of them are level ninety-nine Limit Douluo. Especially Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi, they each serve the Angel God and the Sea God, and might even be able to borrow the power of their divine residences; in terms of strength, they are not inferior to Di Tian."

"Life Gold is a solid, purified form of life force, containing extremely terrifying Life Essence. In terms of rarity, its value is even higher than Immortal Herbs. It can not only significantly improve your body and cultivation speed, but it also has infinite wonderful uses when stored within the spirit. Once you get it, you will understand after experiencing it for yourselves."

Zhu Zhuqing said in surprise, "The Spirit Hall has such powerful people?"

Because he seemed to remember that in Douluo II, Di Tian seemed to have referred to Elder Xuan's martial soul as 'Uncle'.

"Xiao Quan, what is the use of that Life Gold you want?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.

"His cultivation exceeds eight hundred thousand years, and he belongs to the semi-divine level of powerhouses. There are very few on the entire continent who can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him."

As the voice fell, Di Tian disappeared from where he stood.

Just as Shi Quan was explaining to the others, a black crack appeared in mid-air, and Di Tian's figure stepped out from it.

Shi Quan thought for a moment and said, "Di Tian is indeed the current patriarch of the Black Dragon clan, but there is still a significant gap between him and the Water Dragon King and the others. The soul bone you and Yan Yan absorbed is the soul bone of the first-generation Dragon King; Di Tian is not the first-generation Black Dragon King."

"Eight hundred thousand years?!" The group was all shocked.

"Qian Daoliu's strength is indeed extremely terrifying. If it weren't for the existence of Qian Daoliu, the Spirit Hall would never have developed to this point," Dugu Bo had to nod and admit.

"There is actually such a powerhouse among the Spirit Beast clan; it seems the strength of Spirit Beasts far exceeds human imagination," Dugu Bo could not help but sigh.

"You may. Wait for me here for a moment."

"Xiao Quan, what is that Di Tian's background exactly?" Dugu Bo asked first.

"This is the Life Gold you wanted."

As he spoke, an item as clear as crystal and emerald green flew out from Di Tian's hand and landed in Shi Quan's hand.

"What terrifying life force."

Shi Quan looked at the Life Gold in his hand; as soon as he touched it, he could clearly feel the extremely dense Life Essence of the Life Gold.

Moreover, this piece of Life Gold was surprisingly large, a full tennis ball in size, looking like both crystal and metal.

Shi Quan did not expect Di Tian to be so generous as to give him such a large piece of Life Gold.

Thinking this, Shi Quan pulled the Dragon Spine out from his back.

He did not intend to keep this Life Gold all to himself. Based on the situations of Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Bo, he used the Dragon Spine to divide the Life Gold into four parts, handed them to the four, and said at the same time, "The life force within the Life Gold is too strong. If you integrate it into your body normally, the Life Essence within will not only fail to provide feedback, but will instead backfire and absorb your own life force."

"Then how should this Life Gold be used?" The group stared at the Life Gold in their hands in confusion.

"The Spirit Sea!" Shi Quan pointed to his own brow and said, "Although the body cannot withstand it, if you incorporate it into the Spirit Sea and isolate it with Mental Power, you won't have to worry about it absorbing the body's life force. Furthermore, the life force within can nourish the soul, which will be of great benefit not only to the body but also to the spirit."

Ye Lingling and the others had all practiced the Spirit God Art taught by Shi Quan, and their Mental Power was not weak, enough to withstand the Life Gold.

The amount of Life Gold was mainly determined by the mental strength of each person.

"Lingling, I will assist you in absorbing it first," Shi Quan looked at Ye Lingling.

Shi Quan had his reasons for choosing this way, because Ye Lingling had the Haichenzhixin in her body, and coupled with the Wisdom Skull, her Mental Power was the most condensed. Helping Ye Lingling first was the safest; with Ye Lingling as a precedent, it would be smoother when Shi Quan helped Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing later.

"Okay," Ye Lingling agreed, then asked, "What do I need to do?"

"Place the Life Gold against your brow, focus your mind, and use your Mental Power to sense it. The process may involve a certain amount of pain; you must hold on. As long as you persist, it will be fine."

"Understood," Ye Lingling nodded.

Shi Quan summoned his Spirit Soul Martial Soul, linked his Spirit Sense with Ye Lingling, and his Mental Power surged out, guiding Ye Lingling's Mental Power to inject into the Life Gold.

In an instant, the Life Gold shone with a brilliant green light, and a dense, exuberant Life Essence was instantly infused into Ye Lingling's body through her brow.

An unprecedented feeling of comfort spread throughout her body; Ye Lingling felt as if every tiny part of her body was moaning in happiness.

The dense Life Essence continuously washed over Ye Lingling's body.

This was just the beginning; after Ye Lingling's body had more or less adapted to the Life Essence of the Life Gold, the true fusion began!

Suddenly, the Life Gold between Ye Lingling's brows slammed fiercely into her brow; the hard Life Gold pierced her skin and submerged into her skull.

The intense pain made Ye Lingling want to let out a painful roar, but she was firmly held down by Shi Quan.

"Lingling, hold on."

After a brief blankness in her consciousness, Ye Lingling quickly recovered under Shi Quan's call.

She only felt a massive life aura surging from her forehead into her Spirit Sea; the originally gentle aura now stimulated her nerves like thousands of steel needles.

Shi Quan let go and watched as the emerald-green Life Gold gradually softened, slowly flowing into Ye Lingling's mind along her brow. He knew it was a success; for the time being, she could only rely on herself to fuse, transform, and absorb it.

The absorption of the Life Gold could be said to have further laid the foundation for all three women to become gods in the future.

Shi Quan subsequently helped Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan absorb the Life Gold, and finally Dugu Bo.

Finishing all of this took no more than a short half-hour.

Absorbing Life Gold does not require too much time; Shi Quan prepared to absorb the Life Gold first, as he could take this opportunity to recover his soul power.

To absorb the two Ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings of the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python at the same time, Shi Quan also needed to make sufficient preparations.

Before obtaining One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, he had no such thoughts; after all, two Ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings were prepared for two different martial souls, and attaching multiple soul rings to a single martial soul at once was already unheard of, let alone attaching soul rings to two martial souls simultaneously.

But it was different after having the divine ability One Qi Transforms into Three Purities; he could split off an avatar to absorb the soul rings, and although the avatar could only be maintained for one hour, as long as the avatar made the start, he would only need to withstand the energy impact afterward.

Powerful Mental Power radiated outward, and the Life Gold in Shi Quan's hands slowly floated up, adhering to the center of Shi Quan's brow.

Feeling the vast life force coming from his brow, the Life Soul Core within Shi Quan's body suddenly vibrated wildly, and powerful life force permeated out of his body, interweaving with the life force of the Life Gold.

A jade-green light bloomed from within Shi Quan's body.

Only to see the floating Life Gold directly transform into a jade-green liquid and sink into Shi Quan's forehead.

A massive aura of life used his forehead as the center to continuously scour his body.

His sea of spirit was enveloped by a surging vitality, and three light shadows took shape in Shi Quan's mind; they were Yin Lao, Xiaomeng, and Shouhe.

At this moment, Shi Quan's sea of spirit had already turned into a jade-green ocean; his sea of spirit was vast, and as the thick aura of life continuously accumulated, it began to become viscous, and his sea of spirit was also reinforced once more under the influence of the life force.

The process of the aura of life nourishing the sea of spirit was equivalent to nourishing their Spirit Origin, which also had no small benefit for the three of them.

The Life Soul Core crazily absorbed the life force emanating from the sea of spirit, and under the traction of the life force, the Life Soul Core actually arrived within Shi Quan's sea of spirit; the aura of life and Mental Power blended together, and the originally silver-white, void-like spirit world now transformed into a jade-green lake, full of vitality.
