Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 1282 The Third Soul Core? (Daily 10,000 words)

"Brother, how much longer are we going to wander around outside?"

In a small, unnamed town, Daming and Erming had regained their human forms and were wandering through the streets and alleys.

At this moment, Erming had a string of candied hawthorns in his mouth, and he could barely hold all the snacks in his hands.

"Shut up! What do you mean 'strolling'? We're here to find specific information about the Chosen One for Tang San, and incidentally, we're out buying building materials to rebuild the Clear Sky Sect!"

Daming glanced at Erming with some dissatisfaction.

Erming sighed, looking utterly bored. He really wasn't the type to stay put.

But who can blame them when someone else wants to use the Haotian Sect's territory right now?

And coincidentally, Tang San gave them orders to find out whether Huo Yuhao, the Chosen One, was attempting to create his own godhood and become a god at level 100. They had to find out the information.

Da Ming and Er Ming discussed it and realized that it was perfect timing. They had been trying to figure out how to explain the Chosen One's cultivation at Haotian Sect, but neither of them had noticed it at all.

As a result of Tang San's order, they now had a reason to go out and travel.

Even if they ultimately fail to gather any intelligence, Da Ming and Er Ming will still have something to say.

If you, Tang San, personally slaughtered everyone in the Haotian Sect and sent the two of us out to gather intelligence, wouldn't the Haotian Sect become an empty city?

You're right, it's not nonsense that we haven't found the chosen one.

We had no idea that the Chosen One was so cunning. He took advantage of the time we were out gathering intelligence to infiltrate the Haotian Sect!

If you had killed one or two fewer members of the Haotian Sect when you descended to the mortal realm, the Haotian Sect wouldn't be without a single gatekeeper.

Nowadays, anyone can just walk into the Clear Sky Sect, making it like a toilet. Are you satisfied, Tang San?

At this moment, beneath the ruins of the Haotian Sect, Huo Yuhao, who had not used it for a long time, unleashed the Earth Ant Emperor Slash and burrowed into the ground beneath the Haotian Sect.

He came here this time specifically for the wisp of immortal energy on the Sea God's Inheritance Pillar in the underground secret chamber of the Haotian Sect.

The reason was simple: Huo Yuhao had discovered something very troublesome.

The Evil Emperor and Emperor Tian became his soul spirits one after another, and their abundant soul power directly boosted him to level ninety-nine.

This is naturally a good thing. The problem that Elder Xuan predicted, where the early condensation of the soul core would prevent him from being stuck at level 99 due to the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores, did not occur.

But the crucial point is that when Huo Yuhao tried to absorb that power of faith, he tragically discovered that it was impossible.

Absorbing the power of faith is a free 30-second trial program that can only be fully unlocked after reaching level 100.

Even if the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores are powerful, they are not the same as the three soul cores, and he was blocked at the level 100 barrier.

If Huo Yuhao could calm down at this moment and emulate the old Sea God by collecting faith power while slowly grinding down the level with the help of the Limit Douluo's three hundred years of lifespan, he might be able to break through the level 100 barrier.

After all, the old Sea God didn't have a single soul core back then, but that didn't prevent him from becoming a god at level 100.

But what if Huo Yuhao doesn't have that time?

A message, spoken by Tang San and relayed through the Evil God King, the Destruction God King, and the God of Emotions, had reached his ears.

Tang San stopped the mission to send divine inspectors down to the mortal realm to observe the situation, and even planned to propose revising the divine realm's regulations after a while.

The maximum time a deity who has descended to the mortal realm to become a god can remain in the mortal world is ten years.

This combination of punches surprised even Huo Yuhao.

If it weren't for the connection he had with Rong Nianbing in the God Realm, he would definitely have fallen into the trap.

If you stay at level 99, you might not be able to handle the priests and divine hunters.

However, if he chooses to accept Rong Nianbing's inheritance or other inheritance to become a god, he will be tricked by Tang San into going to the God Realm and be at the mercy of others.

This move was truly impossible to defend against, and it had nothing to do with Huo Yuhao's own martial arts skills, unique techniques, martial soul, or any other abilities he was proud of; it was simply pure scheming.

If it weren't for the Holy Spirit Cult's sudden idea to use the Valley of Love and Destiny to trick him...

If it weren't for his audacity in using the Valley of Love and Destiny to smuggle himself into the realm of gods...

Tang San's move might really do him a disastrous result.

But the biggest difference between a conspiracy and an open scheme is that once a conspiracy is exposed, it loses all meaning, while an open scheme means that even if you know my plan, you can't do anything about it.

If Soul Masters in Douluo Continent become gods directly after breaking through level 99, then Tang San's move is a calculated scheme, a scheme that puts Huo Yuhao in a dilemma.

Whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll still get stabbed.

But don't forget, after a Soul Master in Douluo Continent breaks through level 99, there's still a level 100 barrier waiting for them.

You need to reach level 100 to become a god!

He could have easily reached level 100 first, and then gotten stuck at that level instead of becoming a god.

In this way, he wouldn't have to worry about being thrown into chaos by some random divine official.

There's no need to worry about the divine realm using the rule that one cannot stay in a god's realm for too long after becoming a god to prevent him from doing so.

Even the ranks of priests and divine hunters have 101 levels.

Level 100 is right between humans and gods; one can only be called a god-man or a demigod, not a god.

This is also why Huo Yuhao came to the Haotian Sect. He wanted to study the immortal spiritual energy that Tang San had forcibly cut down from the God Realm and compressed and sealed above the Sea God Pillar.

His Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores were located in one dantian and the other in the purple mansion. The benefits of doing so were obvious to the naked eye.

Compared to opening a soul core in the Purple Mansion and chest, or chest and dantian, this method can maximize the power of the soul force core and energy core, achieving a balance of yin and yang and generating profound mysteries.

However, the drawback of doing this is that Huo Yuhao is completely unable to condense a third soul core that complements Yin and Yang in the correct way of positive, negative, and positive.

The area around the chest is now the main battleground for the contest between the Soul Core and the Energy Core.

How can I condense a third soul core?

It is almost solid, and the super-concentrated soul power is not completely solidified because of the high-speed rotation. It is already the ultimate form of soul power.

The Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core, located in the upper and lower dantian, with both soul power and physical energy as dual cores, is the ultimate form of the dual soul core.

Ultimately, Huo Yuhao set his sights on the immortal spiritual energy.

He's reached the end of the path of the Soul Core, but he hasn't even begun the path of the God Core yet, has he?

Since there was a brilliant soul master in Douluo Continent who could create a soul core that only soul beasts possess, could he also use that as inspiration to create a 'divine core'?

Huo Yuhao had read about the "glorious deeds" of this senior who created a usable soul core for humans in the library back then.

As one of the countless Soul Douluos in the history of Douluo Continent who were stuck at level 89 and had little hope of ever breaking through to the Title Douluo level in their lifetime.

What sets this big shot apart from other Soul Douluos is his unwavering obsession with the Title Douluo realm.
