Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 501 The road ahead is bleak
"Mental strength"

The Douluo Star is incredibly vast.

As time marches on, humanity, after thousands of years, has developed even more sophisticated methods for condensing soul cores, which in turn have given rise to an even more brilliant "spiritual power system."

And just so happens.
"I know they exist."

"Spirit Origin Realm, Spirit Connection Realm, Spirit Sea Realm, Spirit Abyss Realm, Spirit Domain Realm"

The diary contained an overview of the realms of spiritual power.

The ink-black characters, clear and distinct, represent a rigorous system that could only be derived tens of thousands of years later, completely transcending the present era.

"When a Soul Master breaks through to the Title Douluo level, the transformation of their soul can give birth to spiritual detection. Reaching this stage is merely comprehending the authority of the Spiritual Realm."

"The Purple Demon Eye's Mustard Seed and the sixth level of the Distraction Control Technique are both equivalent to the Spiritual Realm."

Han Tao's eyes dimmed.

As his brows drooped, the sunlight could no longer reflect its luster into his pupils, and the sky seemed to darken as well.

"Han Tao?"

"what happened to you?"

Ning Rongrong walked closer, shook her fingers, and spoke in a melodious, girlish tone.

"Ning Rongrong, I may have been going down the wrong path all along!"

"Did we take the wrong road?"

The Purple Demon Eye has no future.

The seventh level of distraction control is the limit.

Only the spiritual detection of a Title Douluo, as the beginning of the Spiritual Realm, has a bright future ahead.

"Yes!"

Han Tao's eyes hardened slightly.

"The sixth level of the Distraction Control Technique, the Mustard Seed of the Purple Demon Eye, are all microscopic interpretations based on phenomena. They belong to the authority of the Spiritual Realm."

Ning Rongrong took the book from Han Tao and pondered it.

Upon seeing that the Spiritual Realm was only the second realm marker, he was stunned and his nostrils flared wide.

"Have we only reached the Spirit Realm?"

"No, the final realm of the Purple Demon Eye is vast, and it has already touched the edge of the Spirit Sea Realm."

The secret technique brought by Tang San is precious enough, and the Purple Demon Eye is beyond this era, but compared with the theory tens of thousands of years later, it seems dim and insignificant.

Ning Rongrong asked curiously, "So, what are you planning to do?"

Han Tao pondered, "I plan to revisit the path of spiritual power."

"I can't be sure that the path I'm exploring next is the right one, but if I don't explore, there's definitely no possibility."

Everyone remained silent.

At this point, they had reached the pinnacle of their strength; their soul power, mental power, and martial soul strength were all at the top of the world.

There is no path forward to follow; to go any further, we must rely on our own exploration.

"Fine."

"I'll accompany you!"

Ning Rongrong quietly rested her head on Han Tao's arm and gazed tenderly at the sea.

"it is good!"

Han Tao sat cross-legged.

Thoughts swirl and wander, traversing the ocean and the starry sky, roaming through history and the future.

Emotions, illusions, nightmares, thoughts, memories, spirit, consciousness, soul.
The countless scattered concepts were like a tangled mess, and Han Tao needed to organize them into a whole, sorting them out into an interlocking system.

"Soul splitting is the wrong path!"

Ye Lingling's tone was exceptionally firm.

In her hands, she held the radiance of the Nine-Heart Begonia, and the fourth soul ring within it had already transformed into red.

"Soul Skill: Soul Condensation!"

"It can bring together and integrate fragmented souls."

To obtain this soul skill, she spent at least several million gold soul coins and purchased countless Concentration Tea Trees.

"But."

"Once the split souls merge, we can no longer change the essence of the soul ring, nor can we change the essence of the martial soul."

Han Tao seemed hesitant.

She gently raised her hand, and the "vast ocean and universe shield" radiating a blue glow appeared before her eyes.

"Han Tao, have you forgotten that the gods once displayed a certain ability?" "What ability?"

"Consciousness projection!"

As Ye Lingling uttered those words.

Within the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, the Sea God's consciousness projection leaped out.

"The projection of a god's consciousness has countless advantages over the splitting of the soul."

“The destruction of a consciousness projection can be repaired over time, but once a fragmented soul perishes, it can never be restored.”

The Poseidon projection spoke calmly: "Han Tao, how about we make a deal?"

"What deal?" Han Tao frowned slightly.

“I can tell you the method of creating consciousness projection. This theory is not a secret in the realm of gods, but it is an invaluable treasure for you ants in the lower realm.”

"what do you want?"

He smiled calmly: "Since you don't intend to inherit my divine position, you might as well hand over the Vast Ocean Universe Cover."

Han Tao glanced at Ye Lingling.

"Okay!" she nodded gently.

Although the Vast Ocean Universe Cover is precious, its greatest significance lies in the inheritance of divine positions. Now that she has embarked on a different path, there is naturally no need for her to cling to the divine artifact.

"to whom?"

"Return it to its rightful owner!"

The projection of the sea god said calmly.

Then, an illusion was created, and several beams of light and shadow outlined seven colors before Han Tao's eyes.

"This is the method of consciousness projection!"

Although it was merely a projection of the sea god, he retained the demeanor of a deity, humbly taking out the pages of the book of light and shadow.

Han Tao, inside the illusion, took the page number from his hand.

Deep within the illusion, countless emotions, nightmares, and mental forces eroded Han Tao's will.

"Truly exquisite, yet also truly clumsy!"

Han Tao elegantly curved the corners of his mouth.

The secret method was real and indeed exquisite, Han Tao praised it.

The illusion was real, and the malicious erosion of the Sea God's projection was real, but their power was particularly weak under the Illusion Mirror Soul Bone.

"What kind of strength must an illusion be that even the Purple Demon Eyes can see through?"

Following that, Ye Lingling put away the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and placed the Nine Heart Begonia on her fingertips.

Her tone was hesitant.

"Before the souls merge, the power mixed in with the souls needs to be purified."

"what?"

Ning Rongrong suddenly looked up.

The statement "purify the soul of impurities" is too easy to make; in reality, it is extremely demanding.

Because it represents the spiritual power boost brought by the Purple Demon Eye, the spiritual power boost brought by the power of faith, and the spiritual power brought by the Dew of Longing, all of which need to dissipate with purification.

"Such a sacrifice is considerable."

"And the purpose of all this is to bring the divided souls back together as a whole."

Han Tao paused, then nodded.

What Ye Lingling is describing is also her own will to put into practice.

"Going backwards is for the sake of moving forward better."

“Soul splitting is a wrong path. We may reap considerable rewards by reaching the end of the wrong path, but it is not the path I want to follow.”

Ning Rongrong shook her head: "Purifying the body is already difficult enough, so how difficult is it to purify the soul?"

"No, it's not difficult."

"The Purple Demon Eye technique can mobilize the energy of the Purple Cloud, even though it has already merged with the soul."

"And Han Tao's sacrificial staff can manipulate the faith power of the Blue Silver Clan, so it can naturally dismantle the influence of faith power on the soul."

Ye Lingling's tone was exceptionally gentle.

"But what about my longing gaze? How can the soul-enhancing power of the immortal herb be broken?"

Han Tao paused in his speech.

After careful consideration, he replied cautiously: "The Qiluo Tulip possesses a rank, which allows it to suppress all plant soul beasts. Perhaps if you fully understand its power, you will be able to peel away the Longing Dew?"
