Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 540 Lex's Purpose (Please Subscribe!!! 4,000 words)

The ability was already possessed, but through forbidden spells, it can be made even more outstanding, and its potential is expanded.

That's the allure of forbidden spells.

It was only after realizing this that Xu Yuan sought to develop many of his soul skills into forbidden spells.

At the same time, he was also looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to develop the soul rings and soul skills themselves into forbidden spells.

In Xu Yuan's previous theories, spirit rings were the bridge connecting spirit masters and the laws. Because of the existence of spirit rings, spirit masters could directly master the corresponding spirit skills, as if they were born with them, like their own instincts. This was no different from being bestowed by the laws, except that different spirit rings and spirit skills corresponded to different laws. In other words, the corresponding laws were combined in different ways.

Of course, only spirit rings of the 100,000-year level truly touch upon the laws, and even then, they are merely extensions of those laws.

Xu Yuan himself possessed multiple ferocious beast spirit rings, and knew that even if he evolved further, spirit ring skills would still not be forbidden spells, and would ultimately have limitations.

Soul rings are inherently a limitation on soul skills.

Even if it becomes a god-level soul ring, the limitations still exist.

To achieve the effect of a forbidden spell in the form of a spirit ring, the spirit master must modify the spirit ring to a certain extent.

This wasn't an unfamiliar concept to Xu Yuan. In fact, when he proposed the path to godhood, he had discussed with Yun Ming what cultivation direction a Soul Master should focus on after reaching level 100.

At least for now, the path to godhood that Yun Ming has pioneered is based on powerful divine soul power, without the subsequent restrictions of soul rings. Of course, Xu Yuan also asked Yun Ming, and he learned that there is still a soul ring slot every ten levels after level 100, but god-level soul masters have already transcended the restrictions of soul rings to a certain extent and will no longer be suppressed.

Xu Yuan believed during the initial discussions that after reaching level 100, one should no longer focus their energy on developing new soul skills.

It's not that you can't acquire new soul skills.

New soul skills can still be acquired, and should be acquired to make up for some of one's own needs. It is very necessary to further enrich and improve one's abilities with new soul skills.

However, the focus cannot be entirely dependent on new soul skills.

In Xu Yuan's understanding, the cultivation of soul skills after reaching the god level should be about the development and combination of soul skills, truly developing soul skills as one's own ultimate techniques, and excavating divine skills that belong to oneself. These divine skills are not the divine soul skills that come after the soul rings reach the god level.

Now that his understanding of forbidden spells has deepened, Xu Yuan feels that these forbidden spells are quite in line with his wishes.

By developing soul skills into a form similar to forbidden spells, and using soul rings and soul skills as a foundation, the laws can be manipulated to make the power of soul skills infinitely great.

However, to achieve this, Xu Yuan now needs to rely on the magician system and the magicians' abilities.

Of course, this is only at the current stage.

After three months of seclusion, Xu Yuan finally understood the key to combining Soul Master Soul Skills.

"Runes".

"Although only a few of my Heavenly Origin Brush's spirit rings are composed of runes, it doesn't mean that other normal spirit rings cannot be made into runes."

Just like Xu Yuan's original character runes, which originated from the Five Elements runes, and the soul ring containing the Five Elements runes was obtained through normal means. Although there were various changes and opportunities in between, it was generally a normal soul ring. However, it still allowed Xu Yuan to cultivate the runes.

In other words, even a normal soul ring has the potential to cultivate a core rune.

When different runes are combined with each other, it is called a rune combination technique, which uses runes to form a complete Dao.

By using this kind of Dao to explain his understanding of the laws and to invoke their power, this was the answer Xu Yuan came up with.

However, this path still requires practical application.

Fortunately, Xu Yuan had no shortage of experimental materials, namely the Tianyuan Pen Martial Soul.

His Heavenly Origin Brush Martial Soul has multiple ready-made runes, and the points of convergence between these runes are very obvious, making it a perfect subject for rune combination research.

Moreover, many of his runes belong to the mountains and rivers, which possess the scroll world. Within the scroll world, these numerous runes themselves form the framework of the world's laws, already possessing the rudiments of rune combination techniques, and have already achieved results in mobilizing the laws.

"Unfortunately, three months is still too short a time, and my understanding of forbidden spells is not deep enough."

To be honest, Xu Yuan's understanding of the laws was not deep enough.

His runes are only the most basic laws. Even his two law frameworks, which are close to reality and close to perfection, are only in their infancy. They are still a long way from being comparable to the laws of the universe, and even far from being comparable to the laws of a normal plane.

While Xu Yuan was pondering, Professor Zhang had already led him back to the mountaintop where the spaceship was located.

Its entire body is silvery-white, like a spirit traversing space, perfectly blending with the surrounding environment.

Xu Yuan stepped forward, already sensing the call of the mecha spaceship.

"This spaceship was built for you, and it also represents our alliance's aspirations for space exploration, so we wanted to name it the Abyss Explorer."

Xu Yuan's lips twitched.

The meaning of the name is straightforward; although it doesn't sound good, it's at least not unpleasant to hear.

"Let's call it that."

Professor Zhang breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Xu Yuan's permission.

Although it is said to have been named, it still requires Xu Yuan's permission. After all, this is Xu Yuan's mecha, and the real right to name it still lies with Xu Yuan. They only have the right to make suggestions because they built the spaceship.

Fortunately, Xu Yuan didn't care about the name of the spaceship and directly adopted their suggestion.

As Xu Yuan stepped forward and touched the Tanyuan, the Tanyuan transformed into a ball of light and merged into his body.

Xu Yuan's body has now been fused with too much metal.

Except for the absolute, fusion in the form of a soul does not take up too many slots.

However, his battle armor and mecha were already quite large, and now he has an additional spaceship mecha.

It should be noted that the limit for ordinary Soul Masters is to fuse a set of Battle Armor. Unless it is a God-level Mecha, it is even more difficult to achieve metal forging of full Spirit Forging or above.

That's right, even black-level mechs often have parts that are not crafted with spirit forging.

Only god-level mechs are forged using full spirit forging in order to achieve a close fusion between the mech pilot and the mech.

Xu Yuan single-handedly fused a set of battle armor and two mechs, and the spaceship mech was enormous, being the largest model of mech, so the burden on him was unimaginable.

However, his vital energy is strong enough that he can withstand the fusion with so much metal.

"Professor Zhang, you can continue your research on those technologies. I'll be leaving now."

Professor Zhang did not ask Xu Yuan whether he had found a wormhole when he took the spaceship.

Asking a question whose answer is obvious is completely unnecessary; he wouldn't ask such a question without thinking.

Just keep it in your heart.

What they needed to do was wait for Xu Yuan to bring further news.

Professor Zhang believed that if Xu Yuan had indeed discovered any useful intelligence, he would definitely share it with them. After all, strictly speaking, they were the ones who provided the spaceship technology support for Xu Yuan's exploration of space, and he needed to tell them his needs in order to better complete further space exploration.

After leaving Tianding City, Xu Yuan returned to Shrek City immediately.

He sealed his soul power.

With the sealing runes activated, Xu Yuan used the entire scroll world to suppress the fluctuations in his soul power, thus completing the soul power seal directly.

Entering the Demon Dimension once again through the Demon Gate, Xu Yuan felt immense pressure.

Although he sealed his soul power to get here, his strength could not be perfectly hidden in the face of the laws of the entire plane, and was suppressed by the laws.

The feeling of being suppressed was particularly unpleasant. Xu Yuan did not linger. After registering in the City of Hell, he entered the Hell Plane.

Lex's consciousness emerged.

"The Blood Master system is becoming more and more complete. It's a pity that the Blood Demon God Realm seems to be gone."

Lex's words were filled with emotion.

Xu Yuan asked curiously, "What is the Blood Demon God Realm like? I mean, their style of doing things. How many God-Kings are there in the God Realm?"

Lex pondered for a moment and then gave his answer.

"We in the Sacred Heart Plane don't know much about the Blood Demon God Realm. We only know that there should be a God King in this God Realm, but we can be sure that this God King is not the creator of the God Realm. We cannot be sure where the creator is now or whether he is still in seclusion in the God Realm."

Xu Yuan nodded.

In other words, there are at least two god-kings.

As for where the Blood Demon King, the founder of the Blood Demon God Realm, is now, there's no need to consider that.

Since this God-King exists and there is no news of his demise, we should consider him as a combatant.

"The Blood Demon God Realm is warlike, and all its gods are combat-type gods, extremely brave and valiant. It is constantly expanding in the surrounding star fields. According to our speculation, after the Blood Demon God Realm occupies our Sacred Heart Star Field, it is expected to cultivate another God King."

The larger the territory controlled by the divine realm, the more resources it possesses, the more faith it gathers, and the more powerful beings it can accommodate. Expanding the territory of the divine realm naturally enhances its power.

The Blood Demon God Realm chose to strengthen itself in this way, and the effect was very significant.

However, it encountered a spacetime turbulence when facing the Sacred Heart Starfield, and its whereabouts are now unknown.

Xu Yuan roughly guessed Lex's original purpose from his words.

This group should be considered the advance team.

The Sacred Heart Starfield and the Blood Demon God Realm are in an adversarial relationship. A spatial wormhole has been discovered, so an advance force is needed to explore the area.

No wonder his existence directly attracted the attention of the gods of the Blood Demon God Realm and was targeted by them.

"The Hell Plane is just a newly formed world. The emergence of the Blood Master system has made this plane a key target for cultivation by the Blood Demon God Realm. All the gods have left their bloodlines here, but no divine inheritance has been left behind."

Only a powerful bloodline can give birth to a sufficiently powerful Blood Master, thereby developing a complete Blood Master system.

The interference of deities can make the system less natural, causing an excellent cultivation system to fail halfway.

However, even knowing this, the gods of the Blood Demon God Realm still couldn't help but interfere with the development of the Hell Plane, investing in the Blood Masters who formed blood beast contracts with their respective bloodline descendants.

However, this investment resulted in infighting within the Blood Master community, and even created a hierarchy among Blood Beast bloodlines, leading to Blood Masters hunting down Blood Beasts.

"This is why I said that with the Blood Master system in the Hell Plane now so complete, the Blood Demon God Realm has most likely disappeared."

The fact that the Blood Master system has developed so naturally, without any signs of human intervention, speaks volumes.

"It is estimated that in at most ten thousand years, this hellish plane will have the potential to give birth to a complete system of the strongest beings below the god level, just like your Douluo Continent, which can stably produce a certain number of Limit Douluos."

Xu Yuan nodded.

He didn't waste any more time with Lex about the situation in the Hell dimension.

"Where are the coordinates of the wormhole you mentioned?"

Even in this hellish plane, Xu Yuan was still being suppressed.

"Don't rush. I came to this hellish plane because there are plenty of benefits here."

Xu Yuan suddenly realized.

He almost forgot that Lex was a fairly competent businessman.

Since they chose to come here, there must be something that's eyeing this place.

"Is there anything in this hellish plane that can impress a god-level mage like you?" Xu Yuan asked with a suspicious expression.

What are your thoughts on the Blood Mage system?

"Excellent."

"That's right. The contract law of the Blood Master system is very unique. It is the most natural and perfect contract among the many acquired contracts I know. My goal is to study the contract law of the Blood Master system, thereby analyzing the contract law of this plane and developing corresponding contract forbidden spells."

Xu Yuan's expression revealed his understanding.

It turned out to be the case.

At the same time, his expression also became serious.

This is the mage system!

They can truly adapt all systems to their own use.

If you fancy a particular system, you can directly study its core principles, then replicate them in the form of forbidden spells, and integrate them into your own system.

That's completely unreasonable.

Although the core laws of different cultivation systems are unique to each plane, the laws within a plane are also born from the universe. Even if there are no direct laws in the universe, there are still the basic laws of the core laws of the plane.

Xu Yuan knew that what Lex meant by studying the laws of contracts was to analyze the composition of the laws of contracts and try to replicate the effects of the Blood Master Contract by combining the fundamental laws of the universe.

"Where are you at in your research?"

"Hehe, I was thinking of first reviewing the various forbidden spells of our Sacred Heart Plane, and then, after the Hell Plane has made further progress and the Blood Master system has developed to at least the seventh rank, I would improve the forbidden spells of the Blood Master contract based on the forbidden spells of our Sacred Heart Plane."

"So, you haven't even started researching Blood Master Contracts yet?" Xu Yuan was speechless, his eyes filled with doubt as he looked at Lex.

Are you reliable or not?

So after all that talk, it turns out you weren't a magician who played with contracts to begin with?

If you're not into contracts, why are you so interested in this Blood Master Contract?

Change allegiance?

"The profits that the contract system can generate are beyond your imagination," Lex said earnestly, a mysterious look in his eyes.
