Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 997 Tang San Opens the Inner Realm

"If I weren't certain you were human, I would have thought you were a 100,000-year-old soul beast who had transformed and rebuilt your life."

Di Tian then interjected, "You are the first human in history to be able to independently condense a soul ring."

"Senior Di Tian."

Tang San bowed, "This is only because, by a twist of fate, my mother and my martial soul merged into one, which makes this convenient."

Di Tian shook his head: "A twist of fate? You are also a person with great fortune!"

Tang San did not answer.

Zhou Qing then took out six artificial soul rings and asked Di Tian, ​​"Brother Di Tian, ​​have you gathered all the soul beast materials?"

"Ah."

Di Tian nodded slightly and took out materials from six kinds of soul beasts: the shell of the Thousand-Pound Ant, the hair of the Titan Giant Ape, the nail of the Dragon Turtle, the tooth of the Three-Headed Crimson Mastiff, a claw of the Bear King, and a scale of Di Tian himself.

Because Tang San possesses twin martial souls, opening up his inner realm requires him to maintain a balance between his two martial souls!
Although Tang San was able to maintain his balance due to the Mysterious Heaven Skill, the Blue Silver Emperor had already absorbed six spirit rings, and these six spirit rings had all undergone secondary refinement and become one with the martial soul, making them stronger than the Clear Sky Hammer.

Admittedly, soul power is indeed the key to the growth of a martial soul, but the Blue Silver Emperor has more "fertilizer" than the Clear Sky Hammer!

Furthermore, Ah Yin became the "Blue Silver Spirit" of the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, making her even more spiritually potent.

To ensure that the inner realm is not lost, the second spirit must also be given a spirit ring and undergo a second refinement so that the growth rate of the Clear Sky Hammer and the Blue Silver Emperor is completely consistent.

The six spirit rings chosen for the Clear Sky Hammer:
The Thousand-Pound Ant is renowned for its strength and can provide the Clear Sky Hammer with a power-boosting soul skill.

The Titan Giant Ape is also renowned for its strength and controls gravity and the power of the earth. Tang San can use this to obtain a soul skill that controls gravity.

The dragon turtle's aura is long and deep, which can strengthen blood and qi;

The three-headed Crimson Demon Hound possesses hellfire, which will allow Tang San to better control the heat during future forging.
Xiong Jun's strength is also considerable, possessing the ultimate metal attribute, which complements the Haotian Hammer perfectly;

Finally, the Beast God Di Tian possesses immense power, vigorous blood and energy, and extreme dark attributes... Although the Haotian Hammer itself does not possess dark attributes, the Blue Silver Emperor itself possesses a trace of insignificant light attributes—releasing its martial soul will emit a faint silver light.

Therefore, obtaining the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon's spirit ring as his second spirit might also allow the Clear Sky Hammer to possess a slight dark attribute, making it easier for Tang San to be more stable when opening up the inner realm later.

Zhou Qing took the soul beast materials and handed them to Tang San along with the artificial soul rings, saying, "Start absorbing the artificial soul rings. What you need to pay attention to is that the age of each soul ring of your second martial soul should ideally correspond to the age of the soul rings of your Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, and not exceed them by too much."

The spirit rings of the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul have the following color scheme: black, black, black, black, red, red. The first four spirit rings are between 50,000 and 60,000 years old, while the last two spirit rings are both over 100,000 years old.

Therefore, even though Tang San's first spirit ring could withstand more than 100,000 years.

However, in order to ensure the balance between the two martial souls, the age of the six spirit rings cannot be too different from that of the Blue Silver Emperor's six spirit rings.

"I know."

Tang San was well aware of the intricacies involved.

Moreover, the age of the spirit ring is not important to them. After completing the second refinement, it can be upgraded along with the growth of the martial soul. After opening the inner realm, the external appearance of the spirit ring no longer exists, and it returns to the spirit beast, reborn in the inner realm of the body, and can grow autonomously.

So, for the next two hours, Tang San sat cross-legged by Star Lake and began to absorb spirit rings by using artificial spirit rings and spirit beast materials in turn.

Romantina assisted him in completing the secondary refining process during absorption.

After absorbing and refining all six artificial spirit rings, Tang San's spirit power level was—

It is still at stage 61.

After a Soul Master reaches the Soul Emperor stage, the Soul Power required for each level is much greater than before. Moreover, compared to the Soul Rings of ordinary Soul Beasts, the energy of artificial Soul Rings is consumed in shaping the Soul Ring during condensation. Therefore, even a 100,000-year Soul Ring does not provide Tang San with much energy to refine and upgrade his Soul Power level.

"Next, we'll open up the interior!"

After absorbing the spirit ring, Tang San first adjusted his breathing for half an hour before officially entering the state of opening up the inner vision.

Romantina immediately connected with Zhou Qing and Xiao Wu through mental sharing, presenting the circulation of Tang San's meridians to everyone.

As Tang San's breathing returned to a corresponding frequency, it was observed that:
At the lower dantian, on both sides of the milky white soul power ball, blue-gold and black-gold soul power balls continuously swirl, then rise from the spine, pass through the coccyx, along the spine, through the jade pillow, pass through the three gates, enter the upper dantian, then go down, pass through the middle dantian, and return to the lower dantian.

In this way, one cycle is completed!

Afterwards, the two groups of soul power and the soul power cultivated from the Xuan Tian Gong circulated together, not only involving the Ren and Du meridians, but also including the eight extraordinary meridians and the twelve regular meridians, forming a great cycle!

Under the combined effect of the three major techniques, Zhou Qing, Xiao Wu, and Romantina noticed a strange spatial fluctuation around Tang San's meridians, which continued to expand, connect with each other, and construct a void space.

The Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer appeared in this space.

The Blue Silver Emperor takes root in the earth, sprouts, and rises to the sky like a pillar supporting the heavens, standing tall for eternity! Then it blooms, scattering millions of seeds, spreading life within the inner landscape!

The Haotian Hammer shattered the void, drawing in primordial energy and using the force of vibration to guide the flow of energy within the inner realm! Once the inner realm is teeming with life, the act of spreading civilization can begin!

After that, the Blue Silver Emperor's six spirit rings melted away, transforming into Wolf Hair Grass, Emerald Fern, Spirit-Nourishing Flower, Fragrance-Free Flower, and—

Ah Yin?

Blue Silver Emperor's fifth and sixth spirit rings both originated from Ah Yin, so it was perfectly normal for him to draw her over when opening up his inner realm.

However, the body of the Blue Silver Spirit is probably in a dormant state at this moment.

But Ah Yin didn't care. Knowing that Tang San was at a critical stage of cultivation, she did her best to cooperate and help him stabilize his inner vision.

Tang San, who possesses the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, has no need to worry about the resentment of the other reborn plant soul beasts.

As for the Thousand-Pound Ant, Titan Giant Ape, Dragon Turtle, Three-Headed Crimson Demon Mastiff, Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, and Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King that appeared in Tang San's body after the six spirit rings of the Clear Sky Hammer melted away, since their original bodies were still alive, the ones that appeared in Tang San's body did not have the memories of their original bodies. They were like newly born spirits and would not cause any harm to Tang San.

"finished!"

Tang San opened his eyes, beaming with joy. "I thought there would be some unexpected problems, but it went surprisingly smoothly. The Xuan Tian Gong, this balanced and moderate cultivation method, has brought me immense convenience!"

After opening up the inner realm, Tang San felt that he had become one with the entire world and nature, and was constantly in a state of wonderful enlightenment.

My body merges with heaven and earth!
The soul is one with nature!
Nothing could be more perfect!

"If it succeeds, that's good."

Zhou Qing smiled and then spoke of his insights after watching Tang San open his inner realm, "And now I can confirm that opening the inner realm is much easier for us natives of Douluo Continent than for people from other worlds."

Before a martial spirit awakens, it exists in the Soul Palace. After the martial spirit awakens, the Soul Palace shatters and merges into the body's meridian circulation, with the body itself becoming the "Soul Palace".

Through cultivation, the soul power can circulate systematically within the body's meridians. Once a certain level of cultivation is achieved, or with the assistance of other factors, the soul palace can be activated, drawing upon void energy and opening up the inner realm!
If it were someone from another world, taking Ji Dong from the Five Elements Continent as an example, if he wanted to open up his inner realm, without a martial spirit or fragments of the soul palace, he would have to spend countless hours comprehending the power of space. Moreover, during this time, he would have to maintain his cultivation at all times and could not be careless in the slightest, otherwise all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Golden Elixir Avenue!

Without perseverance, there are only three words to cultivate oneself:

Disaster!Disaster!Disaster!
