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

Chapter 566 Evolution

The Way of the Spirit Furnace?

Xu Yuan immediately became interested.

He didn't know much about the Spirit Furnace of the Holy Demon Continent; he only knew of its existence and used it to complete the condensation of his new body.

But in reality, he didn't know much about the mechanics of the Spirit Furnace.

Are humans born with nine orifices?

It can fuse nine spirit furnaces?

From Xu Zhi's words, Xu Yuan sensed a trend toward integration.

Nine spirit furnaces were merged into one, thus creating a spirit furnace of super divine artifact level!

This should be the path he's taking now.

He not only fused the spirit furnace, but also fused a divine throne into his spirit furnace.

"Unfortunately, my body itself is a spiritual furnace; it was only through the aid of essence, energy, and spirit that the body was constructed," Xu Yuan sighed.

The Spirit Furnace can merge with the human race, but its most crucial essence is still the human race.

Xu Yuan currently only possesses the physical structure of a human body, but not its essential nature.

Just like the demon race, there are also many human-shaped beings, but they cannot fuse with the spirit furnace.

"No, you can do it. The essence of the fusion of spirit furnaces is still a contract. At least in my cultivation, I control the spirit furnace with my will."

"Willpower controlling the spirit furnace?"

Xu Yuan looked at Xu Zhi, waiting for him to continue explaining.

Xu Yuan did cultivate the path of willpower, but it was mostly an adjunct to the Seven Forbidden Techniques.

He was able to enter the path of will thanks to the Seven Forbidden Techniques.

Besides, the only person Xu Yuan knew who had conducted in-depth research on willpower on Douluo Star was his father, who was standing right in front of him.

Since there was no way to cultivate soul power or mental power, they could only study willpower out of thin air.

Now, hearing the word "will" from Xu Zhi's mouth, Xu Yuan knew that the other party was about to talk about his most core achievement.

"There are a few very special ones in the spirit furnace. They have all given birth to their own consciousness and become alternative life forms, namely intelligent spirit furnaces. In fact, in my opinion, this is the most perfect form of spirit furnace and the state in which the spirit furnace can perfectly perform its function."

"However, the birth of intelligence in a spiritual furnace is a miracle in itself, and artificially replicating it would be too costly. Moreover, for us cultivators, the birth of intelligence in a spiritual furnace is not essential."

"Therefore, I merged into the Spirit Furnace with my own will, becoming the Spirit Furnace, and in doing so, I transformed the power of the Spirit Furnace into my instincts."

Xu Yuan took a deep breath.

Isn't this exactly his current state?

His consciousness resides within the spirit furnace, but the difference lies in the fact that the power of his spirit furnace is his original power; it was originally his ability.

"Your situation is exactly like that." Xu Zhi's words confirmed Xu Yuan's thoughts. "Perhaps your body cannot fuse with the spirit furnace, but you can consider starting directly from the essence, which is my method, to integrate into the spirit furnace with your will, rather than slowly immersing yourself in it with your will after your body has fused with it."

The methods adopted may differ depending on the stage.

Xu Zhi himself cultivated himself from weak to strong step by step, and he could only proceed gradually.

However, Xu Yuan is different. Xu Yuan is now strong enough to customize his own items according to his needs.

"However, a spirit furnace ultimately needs a vessel, so you can use your essence, energy, and spirit as vessels to integrate your will into the three spirit furnaces. Eventually, the three spirit furnaces will return to your original body, and with the help of your current original body, it will be easier to complete the fusion."

Xu Yuan nodded in agreement.

That makes perfect sense.

Although no one has ever tried this approach before, once the theory is established, it can be put into practice.

He was originally a spirit furnace, and since he was composed of consciousness, it was actually easier for him to merge into the spirit furnace.

"The problem now is choosing which three spirit furnaces to use," Xu Zhi said. "Different combinations of spirit furnaces will naturally produce different effects after fusion. For example, my Heavenly Eye Spirit Furnace combines five effects: resonance, space, spiritual vision, repulsion, and holy guidance. As for the form of the spirit furnace, it was only finalized after fusion with this throne of wisdom and spirit."

"The fusion of spirit furnaces is a profound subject. The organic reactions that can be generated between them are enough to create entirely new abilities. For example, the Holy Guidance Spirit Furnace and the Repulsion Spirit Furnace. The Holy Guidance Spirit Furnace's function is that after activation, the enemy will only target it when attacking. The Repulsion Spirit Furnace, as the name suggests, generates a strong repulsive force. After the two spirit furnaces are fused, their abilities are interconnected, allowing my spirit furnace to generate not only repulsion but also attraction, and not only Holy Guidance but also Holy Repulsion."

Xu Yuan slowly opened his mouth wide, moved his mouth slightly, and found himself unable to utter a word of complaint.

What a magnificent celestial pull, what a divine conquest!

Moreover, the abilities of Holy Guidance and Holy Rebuke can be interconnected.

If the Way of the Spirit Furnace were to truly develop, it would likely become a profound and complex subject.

Unfortunately, spirit furnaces are now scarce on the Holy Demon Continent, as the invasion of the demon race has made them increasingly rare.

"Dad, was the throne of wisdom and spirit something you chose all along?"

"More or less," Xu Zhi mumbled.

With this Divine Throne, his progress on the Super Artifact Spirit Furnace accelerated significantly, and the most crucial fusion was completed.

If it weren't for this throne, his spirit furnace wouldn't have been able to fuse with it yet.

On the contrary, Xu Yuan was delighted to hear about the situation, feeling that it inherently contained the key opportunity for the fusion of the spirit furnace.

"The Pairing of the Spirit Furnace"

Xu Yuan fell into thought.

Xu Zhi said, "I suggest you try the Holy Guidance Spirit Furnace. This furnace itself has evolutionary capabilities, which I think is the key."

Xu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.

He understood what Xu Zhi meant.

The ability to evolve might be able to be incorporated.

"Moreover, the effects of the Holy Guiding Spirit Furnace should also be useful to you, since your martial spirit is a spear. When you fight with a spear, your enemies can only fight against you, which is a very practical ability."

Xu Yuan seemed to be deep in thought.

圣引

His Brain Martial Soul also possesses the Soul Skill "Shifting Stars," could the combined effects reverse the effect of "Sacred Guidance"? Would his attacks then have to land on the enemy's head?

Searching for the enemy?

"In addition, besides the Holy Guide, the Yuan Vortex Spirit Furnace is also very suitable for you, as it is a spirit furnace with multiple stages of evolution capabilities."

"The Yuan Vortex Spirit Furnace can condense a vortex that constantly absorbs external energy, which is a perfect match for Jue's abilities and can be combined with his devouring ability."

After hearing Xu Zhi describe the effects of the Yuan Vortex Spirit Furnace, Xu Yuan clearly showed interest.

This condensed vortex is constantly being upgraded, but the main purpose is to combine it with active devouring ability, which may greatly enhance Absolute's devouring ability.

Absolute's devouring ability is derived from the Five Elements, making it a niche skill.

If some abilities from the Devouring skill are combined, it might be possible to truly transform into the Devouring attribute and embark on the proper path of Devouring.

Moreover, Xu Yuan also discovered a common point between the two spirit furnaces recommended by Xu Zhi: their ability to evolve.

"In fact, all spirit furnaces possess the ability to evolve, only differing in the number of times they evolve. Both of these spirit furnaces have the ability to evolve three times, which should be because the spirit furnaces themselves have a more easily evolving characteristic. I added the Holy Guidance Spirit Furnace for this characteristic in the first place. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Eye Spirit Furnace does not seem to have acquired this ability. After reflection, I think that one Holy Guidance Spirit Furnace is not enough."

"The two spirit furnaces I recommended to you both have strong evolutionary capabilities. If you choose a spirit furnace that suits you and has three stages of evolutionary capabilities, you might be able to inherit that evolutionary quality and allow Jue to transform. Of course, even if you don't inherit this quality, the abilities of the three spirit furnaces integrated into Jue's essence will be enough to break through his bottleneck and provide an excellent opportunity for a breakthrough."

Xu Yuan nodded slowly.

Xu Zhi's proposed solution is reasonable and reliable.

This is more useful than simply breaking through a million-year tribulation.

Moreover, the million-year tribulation is too hopeless for Xu Yuan and Jue at the moment.

After the tribulation of nine hundred thousand years, which was mixed with lightning, Xu Yuan and his companion would have to deal with it with all their might. If they were to face a tribulation of a million years, the two of them would definitely not be able to withstand it.

The intensity of this tribulation began to change after 700,000 years; it is no longer a fixed intensity but is determined by the strength of the person undergoing the tribulation.

This was purely to prevent soul beasts from becoming gods.

Now that there is another way to further enhance Jue's abilities, the possibility of surviving the million-year tribulation is even greater.

Although the improvement of the ultimate level will bring about another improvement of the heavenly tribulation that lasts for millions of years, the heavenly tribulation is ultimately finite.

This was a man-made calamity.

If even the power of a God-King level cannot overcome the tribulation of a Soul Beast becoming a God, then that would be truly outrageous.

Let alone a God-King level, even the power of a Level One God should be enough to easily pass.

If the Dragon God forbids a race of soul beasts that possesses this level of strength before undergoing a million-year tribulation from becoming gods, then the karmic debt owed would be enormous.

Of course, this is almost impossible.

Even Xu Yuan, before becoming a god, was far from being a first-level god.

But this world allows cheating.

Tang Wulin could possess extraordinary power before becoming a god by relying on the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, and so could Jue.

It is Xu Yuan's soul; the stronger Xu Yuan is, the stronger it becomes.

This is the cheat code for Jue.

"When choosing between three spirit furnaces, it's best to also consider Jue's tribulation. If the first two spirit furnaces are the Saint Guiding Spirit Furnace and the Yuan Vortex Spirit Furnace, then the third spirit furnace must be one that enhances combat power, and specifically one that can directly improve combat power."

Moreover, there is one important point.

He only needs to release three layers of his domain here to trigger the lightning tribulation.

When the tribulation of lightning and the tribulation of heaven are combined, the laws of the God and Demon Continent will inevitably dominate.

At this time, using the Spirit Furnace system of the Holy Demon Continent to fight against the calamity might be easier.

Because many things in the Spirit Furnace are absolutely valid, especially in the Holy Demon Continent, this is guaranteed most strongly.

So, among the spirit furnaces of the Holy Demon Continent, which one is suitable for absolute power and has the effect of restraining lightning tribulations?

Xu Yuan frowned, deep in thought.

However, we should ask Xu Zhi about this.

After all, Xu Yuan's understanding of the spirit furnace was too superficial.

"Dad, do you have any information on spirit furnaces? In the current era, what other powerful and suitable spirit furnaces would you recommend?"

"Yes, yes, Xiao Yuan. There are nine types of spirit furnaces suitable for the Holy Demon Continent. Besides the two I recommended to you, there is also the Thousand Strike Spirit Furnace, which may involve the power of time, and..."

Xu Zhi then listed many alternative spirit furnace options for Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan was not very satisfied.

The effect of the Thousand-Strike Spirit Furnace is simply to make the spear thrust faster; the so-called involvement of time power is only a possibility.

Moreover, simply stabbing faster has little effect on overcoming tribulation.

"Actually, there is another option."

Xu Yuan pondered for a long time, then narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Oh?"

Xu Zhi looked at Xu Yuan, curious about his son's thoughts.

"I will condense a new spiritual furnace myself," Xu Yuan said.

His tone was firm.

"The spirit furnaces on the Holy Demon Continent are not fixed; the current spirit furnace ranking only includes the known spirit furnaces on the continent."

Xu Yuan, on the other hand, has a lot to say on this point.

Because his current physical form is one that has just been formed.

This spirit furnace is definitely not among the spirit furnaces currently listed in the Federation's inventory.

Therefore, it is entirely feasible to condense a new spirit furnace.

However, the new spirit furnace's capabilities

Xu Zhi looked at Xu Yuan with a puzzled expression.

What ability do you want?

How can we guarantee that we will acquire the desired abilities?

Xu Yuan looked at Xu Zhi and gave his answer.

"Dad, your goal is actually quite clear. The abilities of the three spirit furnaces are not crucial to me. In your plan, what is most important to me is the ability to evolve."

Xu Zhi smiled.

He understood what Xu Yuan meant.

"You want to foster the birth of a brand new spirit furnace, whose power is evolution."

"Yes." Xu Yuan nodded.

"But how can you guarantee that you can condense such a spirit furnace?"

"That's what I'm good at."

Xu Yuan laughed.

"Are you good at this?" Xu Zhi asked with a puzzled expression.

Can the Spirit Furnace be condensed and its abilities specified?

If the Holy Demon Continent had such methods, the Spirit Furnace system would have been perfected long ago, and there wouldn't be the current situation where Spirit Furnaces are so hard to find.

"Evolution is just another kind of eruption. By combining the various abilities of the eruption, one can maximize the probability of creating a spirit furnace related to evolution," Xu Yuan said.

"As for how to nurture a new spirit furnace, it's simply a matter of creating an environment that can nurture one."

"It's quite easy to create an environment that nurtures rare and precious materials; all you need to do is open up a small world."

Creating a small world?

Xu Zhi's lips twitched.

What does this mean?

All that's needed is to open up?

Is this even human language?

Is creating a small world something that can be done easily?

Considering Xu Yuan's own statement that he already possessed three small worlds that he had completely perfected, Xu Zhi had nothing to say.

That's truly an amazing skill.

"However, there are many kinds of rare and precious materials, such as the Spirit Furnace—"

Before Xu Zhi could finish speaking, Xu Yuan interrupted him.

"I can feel it."

Xu Yuan's words were vague.

However, his tone was very firm.

His current physical form was formed under special circumstances; it is the result of his consciousness intertwining with the laws of the entire world.

It was through this that he was able to condense the Three Lives Spirit Furnace body.

He somehow managed to grasp that feeling.

While it's not guaranteed that a spirit furnace will be formed, the chances of it being formed are not small.

If it's just about creating an environment to nurture a spiritual furnace, it can withstand even three repetitions.

The biggest uncertainty for Xu Yuan now is actually enabling the Spirit Furnace to have the sublimation and evolution capabilities.
