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

Chapter 567 Demon God Pillar Spirit Furnace

How can one purposefully induce a nascent spiritual furnace to possess specific abilities?

Xu Yuan did not have a definite answer.

But he was prepared to give it a try.

"Spirit furnaces themselves have the ability to evolve. What I need to do is lay the foundation and prune the nascent spirit furnace as much as possible."

Good, trimmed.

Only by pruning away useless branches can we prevent excessive nutrient leakage.

All the power that nurtured the spirit furnace was transformed into potential, so even if it was just an ordinary spirit furnace at the beginning, it would inevitably have extraordinary abilities.

If all power is sealed, then isn't the moment of releasing that power a sublimation?

Once the embryo is properly developed, isn't that the foundation for repeated evolution?

If you take a closer look at the spirit furnaces of the Holy Demon Continent, you'll find that each of them, which has three or more evolution opportunities, was obtained at the cost of being weak in the early stages.

"If you want to create a small world, I do have a place I can recommend." Xu Zhi stroked his chin and said, "First, find a place to cultivate and cultivate your spiritual power to at least three spiritual apertures. Remember to use the method you used to condense the soul core on Douluo Star to condense the spiritual apertures, and use essence, energy, and spirit to condense them respectively."

Xu Yuan nodded.

After bidding farewell to Xu Zhi, Xu Yuan found a valley in Mount Oding and began his cultivation.

Xu Zhi watched Xu Yuan leave, then turned around and flew towards Odin Town.

"Xu Zhi, I think there are some things you need to explain to us." Long Xingyu looked at Xu Zhi as he landed, his tone very serious.

"Explanation? What do I need to explain? Is there a problem with my reincarnation and cultivation?"

"You know that's not what I'm talking about." Long Xingyu took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Xu Zhi, and said, word by word, "What are your purposes?"

Xu Zhi understood Long Xingyu's feelings.

The human race of the Holy Demon Continent suffered from the invasion of the demon race for six thousand years. Now that they have finally won the victory, they absolutely do not want any powerful beings from other planes to set their sights on the Holy Demon Continent.

Upon discovering that Xu Zhi was actually a reincarnated person from another dimension with his memories intact, and that he also had a powerful son who had come looking for him, Long Xingyu was worried about whether they had any designs on the Holy Demon Continent.

Xu Zhi gave a wry smile.

"I was fighting with all my might when we were fighting the demons, and now you're doubting me?"

"I just don't trust your son," Long Xingyu said in a low voice after a moment of silence.

The father and son talked for a long time. Long Xingyu waited alone on the other side, thinking a lot and his mind was racing.

“You reincarnated and started cultivating again, but you are now twenty-two years old, which means you have been reincarnated for at least twenty-two years. Your son, the real Xu Yuan, looks to be only in his early twenties.” Long Xingyu took a deep breath. “That means he was only five or six years old when you left him. Now, more than twenty years have passed, and I don’t think he will empathize with you.”

Xu Zhi was truly reincarnated into this world and grew up here, forging deep bonds, but Xu Yuan did not.

For the past twenty years, Xu Yuan has never been able to comprehend Xu Zhi's feelings about the world.

"You can rest assured about that. We have no designs on the Holy Demon Continent," Xu Zhi said in a reassuring tone.

Long Xingyu's expression changed.

"Actually, you don't need to worry so much," Xu Zhi said. "In this world where you can't become a god, both Xu Yuan and I will choose to leave after we have gained a certain level of strength."

Long Xingyu was stunned for a long time.

In the end, he could only manage a bitter smile.

It turned out to be the case.

Unable to become gods, this world held no meaning for Xu Zhi and his son Xu Yuan.

How arrogant!

After all, becoming a god is a vague and unattainable goal in the entire history of the Holy Demon Continent. Not to mention the six thousand years of fighting against the demon race, even in the previous glorious era, there were very few cultivators on the continent who truly had the hope of becoming gods, and they were rarely seen even once every few thousand years.

The only one he knows who is closest to becoming a god is the former Necromancer Saint, the Undead Scourge, Elex.

Currently, there are two people with the best chance of becoming gods. One is Long Xingyu's son, Long Haochen, because he inherited the Throne of Eternity and Creation, and is the first leader of this Throne, inheriting the power of the Creator God. The other is perhaps Xu Zhi.

In terms of cultivation speed, Xu Zhi is in no way inferior to Long Haochen, and in terms of strength at the same level, he has never fallen behind.

Moreover, almost all of Xu Zhi's methods were self-created.

Throughout the entire Knights Temple, Xu Zhi had even more supporters than Long Haochen, because, given the same cultivation aptitude, he surpassed Long Haochen in comprehension and creativity.

In other words, aside from fighting, Xu Zhi is not keen on power. Apart from his initial strong struggle for the throne of the God of Wisdom and Spirit, he rarely interferes in the affairs of the Temple and the Federation.

Especially after that decisive battle, without the pressure from the demons, Xu Zhi faded from everyone's sight and devoted himself to cultivation.

Long Xingyu recalled the scene from just now in his mind.

The Divine Throne was integrated into the Spirit Furnace.

This is a method that the previous Divine Knights had never developed.

Is this the result of his dedicated cultivation during this period?

Are there any hidden abilities?

In a secluded valley.

Xu Yuan sat cross-legged, and powerful spiritual energy emanated from his body.

A spiritual aperture condensed in three places: between his eyebrows, on his chest, and on his lower abdomen.

With the three spiritual apertures condensed, his spiritual power cultivation reached the peak of the seventh level.

All you need to do is condense a fourth spiritual aperture based on your own characteristics, and you'll reach the eighth rank!

In any temple, this would already be considered a high-level force.

However, none of this mattered to Xu Yuan.

"The spiritual aperture connects with the elements of heaven and earth."

Xu Yuan took a deep breath, sensing his three spiritual apertures, his mind completely absorbed in them.

He now understood the significance of Xu Zhi's explanation of using essence, energy, and spirit to condense the three spiritual cores and condense the three spiritual apertures.

A seventh-tier professional can transform into an elemental body when the second spiritual aperture is condensed, but Xu Yuan only gained this ability after condensing three spiritual apertures.

"Essence, energy, and spirit do not contain elemental attributes, so I can communicate with any element of heaven and earth through my spiritual apertures."

Xu Yuan was originally a being of laws; his physical body had undergone the baptism of laws and he had a very high affinity for elements.

However, the gains at this moment are still enormous.

"No wonder it became part of the world."

In this state, everything one perceives is part of the universe.

As one cultivates and spiritual apertures are gradually established, one repeatedly draws the power of heaven and earth into one's body.

Starting from the second spiritual aperture, one must integrate the power of heaven and earth into one's own body.

Furthermore, after obtaining the elemental body and communicating with the elements, all subsequent insights are about understanding this world.

Of course, there are also advantages, namely, it is easier to comprehend, and the application of the power of heaven and earth is the most direct form of comprehension.

Mastering the corresponding skills is equivalent to gaining insight.

"Three spiritual apertures should be enough. With my essence, energy, and spirit stabilizing myself, I won't need to condense any new spiritual apertures afterward. These three spiritual apertures are sufficient for me to condense the so-called spiritual pill."

After pondering for a moment, Xu Yuan focused his senses on his Three Lives Spirit Furnace.

The spirit furnace is where the elixir is condensed.

Unfortunately, having just condensed his third spiritual aperture, Xu Yuan's spiritual power was still far from the stage where he needed to condense ten spiritual apertures to condense a spiritual pill.

"Continue your cultivation, but bring the spirit furnace before you begin."

A month has passed since Xu Yuan met with Xu Zhi. During this month, Xu Yuan stopped the search by the demons and had Agares prepare the Holy Guiding Spirit Furnace and the Yuan Vortex Spirit Furnace for him.

"And the Demon God Pillar Spirit Furnace of the Demon Race, perhaps it can be used as experience for practice."

Xu Yuan left the valley, pondering the matters concerning the demon race that still needed to be resolved.

Although the demons didn't help him much in finding Xu Zhi, Xu Yuan still kept his promise since there was a deal.

Most importantly, the demons have readily available practice materials.

The process of condensing a spirit furnace requires the right timing, location, and people.

The Spirit Furnace is born of nature and requires a special environment to be nurtured.

However, if you are eager for a spirit furnace, you will have to create the environment yourself.

While the gestation of a spirit furnace may not be very costly, actively creating a suitable environment requires a significant investment, especially in shortening the gestation time.

For example, the actual consumption of a 100,000-year-old soul beast is not much. It takes tens of thousands of years and provides sufficient cultivation resources to make it a 100,000-year-old soul beast. The total consumption may be large, but it is not on the same level as cultivating a 100,000-year-old soul beast from scratch in just one month.

To actively allow heaven and earth to nurture a spiritual furnace, there must be a sufficient opportunity.

Xu Yuan planned to create a small world to nurture the spiritual furnace he needed.

However, he needs to accumulate some more experience before that.

The demon race needs the Demon God Pillar Spirit Furnace, which presents an excellent opportunity for them to practice their skills.

Leaving the valley where we had been in seclusion for a long time.

What Xu Yuan didn't notice was that a faint vortex had formed at the spot where he was meditating in seclusion. The energy of heaven and earth had also changed here, taking on a special attribute, and gradually gathering along with the faint vortex.

The seventy-two Demon God Pillars descended upon the Holy Demon Continent, creating the Demon Race.

Centered around the seventy-two Demon God Pillars, seventy-two demon races were derived, with each Demon God Pillar corresponding to a demon god.

This time, the one sent by Agares to cooperate with Xu Yuan was the fifteenth pillar demon god among the seventy-two demon gods, the Serpent Spear Demon God.

"You are the Serpent Spear Demon God, Eligo?"

Xu Yuan frowned slightly as he looked at the cold-looking monster in front of him.

Although he was named the Serpent Spear Demon God, the spear intent on his body was very weak, almost non-existent. Instead, he was more like a venomous snake, and his spiritual power was also tainted with a trace of poison.

It's probably called the Serpent Spear Demon God to distinguish it from another Serpent Demon God.

But it's not a big problem.

The reason for bringing over this Serpent Spear Demon God was to facilitate his performance, but even if he doesn't fit into my system, it shouldn't be impossible to continue.

"Are you Senior Xu Yuan?"

Sensing the spiritual energy emanating from Xu Yuan, the Serpent Spear Demon God felt a sense of unease.

This spiritual energy isn't very strong.

However, Eligo did not show any negative emotions because of this.

He also learned from Agares that Xu Yuan was a powerful figure from another dimension, and that his spiritual power cultivation did not represent his full strength.

"Your mission this time is to unleash the power of all the Demon Pillars that you can replicate."

Xu Yuan looked at Ailigo and told him about the mission.

Eligo thought for a moment and nodded.

"Can."

As a demon god, he was aware of his own limitations.

In the eyes of humans, he is a ruthless demon god who kills without hesitation, but among the demons, he also has his own responsibilities.

Although he was somewhat tyrannical among the demons, as a demon god, he also had his own status and was deeply aware of his responsibilities.

Eligo's spiritual power surged.

His shape also changed.

"This is the last bit of Demon God Pillar power within me, and my last chance to become a Demon God. Senior, please."

Eligo's body grew to enormous size, and a gigantic venomous snake appeared in the world.

The ferocious giant serpent looked up and opened its massive jaws, spewing out thick venomous mist.

The poisonous mist gathered, and a dark green ball of light condensed out, the toxins coalescing into a spear shape.

The long spear, like a venomous snake coiled around it, forms a unique design.

As time passed, Eligo's spiritual energy rapidly weakened.

However, his transformation was still in progress.

The spear, resembling a coiled serpent, continued to grow larger, as if it had recreated the glory of the fifteenth Demon God Pillar.

"Is this the Demon Pillar?"

Xu Yuan took a deep breath.

He admitted that the demonic pillar was stronger than he had imagined.

The demonic pillar in front of them, resembling a long spear, was merely a projection summoned from a trace of its essence, yet its strength had already reached the threshold of a divine artifact.

If the complete Fifteenth Demon God Pillar were here, its power would probably not be weaker than before it obtained the core laws of the Underworld.

This is only the fifteenth Demon Pillar.

What if it's in the top ten?

Who's number one?

"The top three Demon Pillars are probably comparable to Super Divine Items."

Add to that the six divine thrones of the Knights' Temple, and the Holy Demon Continent truly has a plethora of treasures.

In other words, he was unaware that Long Xingyu suspected him of plotting against the Holy Demon Continent.

Even if he knew, he would still agree with Long Xingyu's statement.

There are indeed many good things in this Holy Demon Continent.

Xu Yuan was now somewhat envious of the throne of the God of Eternity and Creation, since it was imbued with the power of creation.

While Xu Yuan was filled with emotion, his actions did not falter.

A spirit furnace appeared above his head, and the spirit furnace transformed into the shape of a celestial brush.

A Heavenly Origin Brush appeared between heaven and earth, and lines emerged, intertwining to draw out the laws belonging to the Holy Demon Continent.

The power of laws intertwined and wrapped around the spear that Eligo had released.

Eligo's eyes flickered.

He felt that power; it was a supreme power of heaven and earth.

It seemed that the entire world revolved around his primordial power.

At the same time, the ever-draining primordial power seems to have been sealed off.

even--

"The essence of the Serpent Spear Demon God Pillar is growing stronger and slowly coalescing."

Eligo's eyes were filled with surprise and delight.

In any case, the result of this attempt was good.

In a short moment, his power stopped dissipating and instead increased. Even if he failed to condense the corresponding Serpent Spear Spirit Furnace in the end, it was still worthwhile.

"Don't be too happy yet. The Demon God Pillar has collapsed. Your trace of essence is too weak and not enough at all." Xu Yuan's indifferent voice interrupted Eligo's excitement.
