—------------------—
They chatted until late into the night before Shi Quan and Dugu Bo each returned to their rooms.
The next morning, after bidding farewell to the three women, Shi Quan left the academy alone. After entering Heaven Dou City, he blended into the crowd, moved around several times, and used his Illusion Mask to change his appearance multiple times. After ensuring no one was following him, Shi Quan left Heaven Dou City.
He first went to Tian Luo City to visit his parents. The two of them accompanied each other, Cultivating and reading books daily. When they had nothing to do, they would stroll around the city, living a very leisurely Life.
Sometimes, Shi Quan was quite envious of his parents' relaxed and carefree Life.
After inquiring about their recent situation, Shi Quan helped his parents check their physical condition. Both of their spirit power had reached Rank 15, and their Cultivation speed was not slow.
Late into the night.
Shi Quan's spirit power was already Rank 40. To Breakthrough his Rank, one of his Martial Spirits had to absorb a fourth spirit ring. There was no one around.
He sat cross-legged in his room, and a silver glow spread out.
Everything around him became illusory, and Xiao Meng's phantom appeared behind Shi Quan.
The silver glow began to gradually condense, eventually slowly forming a new spirit ring.
His spirit power also Broke through Rank 40 at this time.
At the same time, the familiar voice of the System finally rang out in Shi Quan's mind again.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for Breaking through to Spirit Ancestor. Your Spirit Master path has advanced further. A Spirit Master Treasure Chest has been triggered and opened for the host. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Spirit God Art."
"Spirit God Art? Is it a Cultivation Technique?"
Shi Quan's mind stirred, and he summoned the System space, looking at the last peculiar wooden slip in the space.
Spirit God Art: Gathering Martial Spirit and Condensing Soul, a special mental Cultivation Technique.
Note: After extraction, the Cultivation Technique content will automatically be transmitted into the host's mind.
"Mental Cultivation Technique?"
Shi Quan turned his head to look at the moonlit sky outside and silently willed to extract it.
The next second, Shi Quan felt a large amount of knowledge pouring into his mind.
The content of Spirit God Art was not as complex as Shi Quan had imagined.
In just an hour, all the content of Spirit God Art was imprinted in Shi Quan's mind.
After carefully reviewing the content of Spirit God Art, Shi Quan's eyes could not help but show a hint of excitement.
Spirit God Art and martial arts are two different Cultivation methods.
Mental martial arts are a special application method of mental Soul power, which can make your mental force burst forth with stronger power. At most, it only serves as a training effect for mental power, mainly used in combat.
Spirit God Art, on the other hand, is a pure Cultivation Technique for mental force, used to enhance one's mental force and Soul strength.
Refining the Soul and condensing Divine Thought.
The focus of this Cultivation Technique is to condense one's thoughts in the Sea of Consciousness, also known as the upper Dantian, the Mud Pill Palace between the eyebrows, and to engrave one's Soul Divine Statue in the Sea of Consciousness. The so-called engraving is actually controlling one's mental force to imitate oneself in the Sea of Consciousness according to a specific trajectory.
The entire process has extremely high requirements for time, speed, and trajectory.
However, each imitation will improve mental force, and during the imitation, mental force will also have a purifying effect, which can be transformed into Divine Thought. Divine Thought has the effect of influencing the outside world.
There are nine methods of imitation. The further back, the more difficult it is, but the more significant the improvement. When Cultivated to the end, mental force will eventually transform into a Martial Spirit God in one's own appearance, condensed in the Sea of Consciousness, feeling very much like the Nascent Soul in those cultivation novels.
"Interesting, 10,000-year spirit rings produce mental shock. Is the System afraid that I won't be able to withstand the mental shock, so it specifically gave me a mental Cultivation Technique?" Shi Quan thought to himself.
"A Meng."
"Here." Xiao Meng's silver figure landed on Shi Quan's shoulder.
Shi Quan raised his hand, gently touched Xiao Meng's head, and asked, "Can you still evolve spirit rings?"
"No, my previous sensing was not wrong. Four spirit rings are already my limit." Xiao Meng gently shook her head, her expression a little lost.
"Four spirit rings, and the Martial Spirit Abilities are interlocked. That's already very impressive."
"Really?"
"Of course it's real." Shi Quan nodded and then said, "A Meng, I'll share some things with you. See if you can try to Cultivate."
With that, Shi Quan shared all the content of Spirit God Art with Xiao Meng.
"I can Cultivate." Xiao Meng's happy voice came, "A Quan, I feel that after I Cultivate, it should also be of great help to you."
Shi Quan chuckled, "It's good that you can Cultivate. If we encounter problems, we can discuss them together then."
Under normal circumstances, the innate soul spirit will improve as the Spirit Master's strength increases. However, if the innate soul spirit improves its strength due to some special reasons, then the improvement of the innate soul spirit will also feedback to the Spirit Master.
The two are complementary.
Since Xiao Meng, as a soul spirit, can Cultivate Spirit God Art, it also proves that other Spirit Masters can also Cultivate it.
Shi Quan planned to try Cultivating it himself first, summarize it, and then teach it to Ye Lingling and the others. This way, when they absorb 10,000-year spirit rings later, they can also aim for higher-year spirit rings without worrying about the mental shock brought by 10,000-year spirit rings.
When Shi Quan started Cultivating the imitation of Spirit God Art, he realized it was truly not simple.
The first layer requires dividing one's consciousness into three strands, and the speed and trajectory of each strand of thought are different. A slight mistake means starting over from scratch, which places truly high demands on one's mental force.
"Tsk tsk, this Spirit God Art also comes with a Cultivation method for Heart Separation Control. However, if this Divine Thought and Spirit Sense are combined, it also provides a new idea for my sword control method."
After staying with his parents for three days, Shi Quan initially mastered the first layer of Spirit God Art. After teaching the first layer to his parents, he then bid them farewell and left.
An illusory figure floated through the air. Shi Quan looked at the several dense forests marked on the map in his hand and murmured, "Should I absorb the Spirit Bone?"
The Spirit Bone Shi Quan referred to was naturally the 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.
To be precise, it was the 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone after absorbing Yearning Heartbroken Red.
Shi Quan did not directly absorb the strengthened 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone at that time. He had previously planned to find something else to strengthen the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, such as life gold or some special Life-attribute treasures.
"Forget it, let's talk about it when I get to the fifth spirit ring. Maybe I can even get a Blue Silver King Spirit Bone..."
A sharp glint flashed in Shi Quan's eyes, and his figure sped towards the dense forest on the map.
These dense forests were precisely where Shi Quan inferred the Blue Silver King's hiding place based on the original description.
In the original work, Tang San awakened his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Spirit when he Broke through to Rank 50, brought by Tang Hao, and obtained his fifth spirit ring as his innate spirit ring.
Regarding the limitations of the Blue Silver Emperor's Awakening, it was not clearly stated in the original work. However, according to Shi Quan's inference, it must be related to his own endurance.
When Tang San in the original work awakened the Blue Silver Emperor, he possessed two Spirit Bones: a 50,000-year wisdom skull bone and an external Spirit Bone, Eight Spider Lances. His spirit power Rank was 50, and his physical quality had been trained for a year by Cultivating Rampaging Wind under a 200-meter waterfall.
Although Shi Quan's current strength was only Rank 41, he also possessed two Spirit Bones, and the quality of each was higher than Tang San's. As for physical quality, Shi Quan's third spirit ring was already close to 10,000 years, definitely not inferior to Tang San's.
So Shi Quan felt that he could completely try to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor.
This way, his Blue Silver King's fourth spirit ring could also be resolved, and Awakening the Blue Silver Emperor should also trigger another plunder treasure chest.
Killing two birds with one stone.
Definitely worth a try.
Two days later.
"It seems it's not this forest." Outside a certain dense forest, Shi Quan opened his eyes and shook his head.
Because the original work did not specifically point out the Blue Silver King's hiding place, he could only roughly infer it based on the original description, then go from one place to another, sensing it using Tang San's method from the original work.
Shi Quan possessed the Soul Martial Spirit, coupled with Xiao Meng's natural affinity, he had already done this kind of sensing of Blue Silver Grass countless times. This was effortless for him.
He got up and moved. The surrounding area was already a rarely visited wilderness, so he naturally had nothing to worry about and simply flew up.
Several hours later, Shi Quan shook his head again.
"This isn't it either."
Shi Quan could only get up again and head towards the next location.
Until three days later.
Shi Quan arrived at a vast, ancient forest, its periphery still covered in Blue Silver Grass.
Shi Quan sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, his mental force spreading out to sense.
"King? It's really the King's aura. Great King, is it really you? You've finally come to us. Thank heavens." An old voice suddenly rang out in Shi Quan's mind without warning.
"Finally found it." Shi Quan's eyes snapped open, his excitement unconcealed. And it seemed the Blue Silver King hadn't noticed his abnormality.
"King, please come to me, may you?" The Blue Silver King's eager voice came, carrying a strong longing.
Shi Quan immediately got 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 excitedly calling out, swaying gently in rhythm, as if happily dancing for Shi Quan's arrival.
"I wonder if the Blue Silver King will sense that I possess the Bloodline of an Emperor because I devoured the Blue Silver Emperor. Just in case, I still need to be careful."
Shi Quan thought to himself, walking all the way. About an hour later, after passing through two trees that several people could embrace, he finally saw the true appearance of the Blue Silver King.
Looking out, it was a special plant formed by countless intertwined vines. Each vine was as thick as an ordinary person's waist, completely azure, emitting a faint phosphorescence. In the very center, the vines twisted, outlining the trace of a human face, as if smiling.
"Are you calling me?" Shi Quan looked at the Blue Silver King with burning eyes, asking knowingly. His hands were clasped behind his back; if the Blue Silver King made any slight movement, he would immediately flee.
"Yes, great King. It is I who am calling you." The human face entwined by the Blue Silver King's vines moved, revealing a very human-like expression. Its large mouth opened, and it spoke human words...
