Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

The strange changes in the world happened precisely when his mother was pregnant with him; it was too much of a coincidence.

But if the coincidences are too much, then they are no longer coincidences, not to mention that his martial soul is so special.

It took Tian Hao a while to calm himself down. He looked at the nine clusters of energy that had appeared in his Martial Soul's spiritual sea: two yellow, two purple, and five black.

"Were those nine spirit rings that the teacher integrated into my martial soul rejected? Or is it that my martial soul is disliking them? Or is there a problem with the current spirit master system for absorbing spirit beast spirit rings?"

It seems that Tang San has never used his previous spirit rings and spirit skills since he became a god. I used to think it was because his divine skills were too powerful, but now it seems there must be other issues.

But that's understandable. This kind of breakthrough and advancement through external forces is, to some extent, a demonic path, like the Star-Absorbing Technique; it would be abnormal if it didn't have hidden dangers.

Tian Hao thought about many things for a while and even came up with a surprising guess. Although it was still just a guess, there must be a reason why his martial soul rejected the power of the soul ring in the Seven Kill Sword. This made him wary of the existing soul master system.

"We still need to figure out a way to develop the system for building our own soul rings. Only when we use our own power can we truly feel at ease."

He became even more determined in his mind to build a spirit ring.

With a thought, the Seven Kill Sword in his spiritual sea manifested in his hand. However, it had only been manifested for less than a second when the holy light soul power in his body was drained, and the Seven Kill Sword turned into a streak of blood light and returned to his spiritual sea.

"The consumption is too great, even greater than the consumption of Tang San's hammer."

It took Tian Hao a while to recover, and he was still shaken.

That sword was Master Chenjianjun's ultimate sword; just maintaining it required a large amount of soul power, let alone using it to launch an attack.

"To use that sword, I reckon I'll need to fill my lower dantian with soul power. It would be even better if I could condense a soul core."

After a moment of reflection, Tian Hao did not immediately go to see Pope Qian Xunji through the spirit kite. Instead, he began to cultivate, continuously filling his lower dantian with holy light soul power.

By continuously replenishing his soul power, the accumulated holy light soul power reached the expected standard after a month. He then used his immense mental power to control the soul power, forming a vortex in his dantian.

It's not about condensing a soul core, but simply about forming this vortex shape, or rather, a prototype of a soul core.

In the future, Soul Cores in Douluo Continent II are formed by continuously compressing Soul Power Vortexes. These Soul Power Vortexes naturally carry some of the characteristics of Soul Cores, even if they are not as good as Soul Cores.

Sure enough, his guess was right.

As the Holy Light Soul Power vortex formed, it gradually emitted a suction force, drawing in and directly absorbing the sunlight. The surrounding angelic power was also absorbed, much faster than normal meditation absorption.

Tian Hao, who was cultivating on the rooftop, sensed this change and was extremely excited; his guess had been correct again.

He had previously tried to form a vortex of soul power in his palm and spin it rapidly, which did indeed generate suction. Unfortunately, the size of that soul power vortex was too small, and the suction force it generated was rather weak, not enough to attract the surrounding spiritual energy.

Now, with dozens of times more soul power accumulated in his dantian, the suction force of the resulting soul power vortex has also increased dozens of times.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Making a Living with Your Imagination

What are you going to do now?

As she led the boy toward the Papal Palace, Ling Yuan asked, puzzled.

Can't you just behave yourself?

"secret!"

Tian Hao laughed, then continued to bow his head and follow behind, carrying an exquisite box, looking every bit the lackey.

Seeing that the boy did not answer, Ling Yuan did not press him further and could only keep her head down and continue walking, soon arriving at the Papal Palace.

When Qian Xunji, who was handling official business, heard that Ling Yuan was requesting an audience, he immediately guessed that the little one had something to say, so he let her in.

"But what did Yu Xiaogang do?"

While reviewing the documents, Qian Xunji casually asked a question.

He entrusted Yu Xiaogang's matter to the boy, and now he's come to see me, probably for that matter.

"This is not about Yu Xiaogang. I have something new that I need to report to His Holiness the Pope privately."

Tian Hao glanced at Ling Yuan beside him and reported.

The fewer people who know about this, the better. As for how Qian Xunji will distribute and pass on this method afterward, that's none of his business. He absolutely cannot interfere in that area, otherwise he will definitely offend the Pope and die without even knowing how.

Ling Yuan glanced at the boy but didn't say much. After all, she was just a tool, and the less she knew, the better.

"Oh?"

Qian Xunji became interested and, seeing Tian Hao's gaze turn to the entrance of the underground chamber, immediately realized that the little guy might have made another discovery.

He quickly reviewed the documents in his hand before getting up and walking towards the secret room. He activated the mechanism and went down, with Tian Hao following closely behind.

"Now you can tell me!"

Walking over to the chair and sitting down, Qian Xunji poured himself a glass of red wine and sipped it while gesturing for Tian Hao to speak.

"Your Majesty can use your spiritual power to examine my lower dantian and see if there is anything different here."

Tian Hao lifted his shirt and pulled his belt down to reveal his lower dantian, allowing Qian Xunji to examine it.

Despite her doubts, Qian Xunji still extended her spiritual power as instructed, followed the trajectory of the soul power to find the dantian, and then explored it.

"puff!"

Upon entering with his spiritual power, Qian Xunji was so shocked by the enormous space that he spat out the red wine in his mouth.

"It's not over yet, Your Majesty."

Tian Hao gestured for Qian Xunji, who had stood up in shock, to calm down. He then used his mental power to activate his soul power, creating a vortex that spun faster and faster, gradually generating a suction force that absorbed the surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth elemental power) into his body.

Even the light emitted by the soul tool was drawn in and absorbed.

This soul power vortex cannot be fixed in shape and maintained at present. It needs mental power to drive it. The stronger the mental power, the faster the rotation speed and the greater the suction force.

How did you do that?

After a long while, Qian Xunji finally suppressed his shock and excitement. He couldn't understand how Tian Hao had created such a large space within his body.

Having reached his level, he naturally understands the significance of that space. Even if it cannot increase his own combat power, it will greatly improve his combat endurance.

It's a completely strategic-level secret technique, no less powerful than the previous instinct-stimulating cultivation method, and perhaps even more powerful.

"After the last great battle outside the city gate, I obtained the blood of Bone Douluo Gu Rong, and with it I obtained his martial soul's spatial talent and first soul skill."

At that time, I was wondering if I could use this spatial talent to expand my lower dantian, which is the one I just mentioned.

That's what I discovered over the years through my research on the body. Besides the lower dantian, I also found a similar middle dantian in the chest, which can store soul power, but the space inside is too small to store much.

I first extracted the spatial power from a low-level storage soul tool, but unfortunately it was too violent and could not be calmed down at all, let alone used to integrate and expand my dantian.

It just so happens that Her Highness the Saintess gave me a storage soul tool that can store living things. The spatial power extracted from it is much more stable. I then integrated it into my expanded dantian, eventually expanding it to this size.

Unfortunately, the more the dantian space expands, the more spatial power is required, but it is already very strong to have expanded to this scale.

Then I circulated my soul power within, forming a vortex. I discovered that this created a suction force to accelerate the accumulation of soul power. Only after confirming that there were no hidden dangers in this expanded dantian did I present it to Your Majesty.

After recounting the process in detail, Tian Hao remained silent, quietly waiting for Qian Xunji to process the matter.

This isn't really a secret method; it's just a new approach, similar to the instinct-stimulated training method from last time. The key is that people in the past couldn't have thought of it.

As a qualified time traveler, he may not have much else, but he has a lot of creative ideas. If he can bring any of his ideas to fruition, it will be a great achievement.

He took a gamble back then. After cultivating his soul power to level one, he began to research and, despite his soul power not increasing for five years, he managed to realize the Cold Jade Bed cultivation method in the ice cellar. He caught a cold and fever countless times, and his snot could fill a whole vat.

Fortunately, he succeeded in the end. He not only obtained a head soul bone and a high-level meditation method of the angel race, but also got his parents promoted and given a raise, and moved to Wuhun City.

All the effort was worthwhile.

"Our thinking is too rigid."

After pondering for a long time, Qianxunji sighed.

It's really not difficult; it's just that no one thought of it before, or rather, some thought of it but lacked the space and ability to realize it.

Without saying anything more, Qian Xunji extended his spiritual power to connect with his father, Qian Daoliu, in the Douluo Hall next door, and asked him to bring all the top-level storage soul tools and several clansmen with spatial soul skills.

Not long after, Qian Daoliu arrived with three angels, and to keep it a secret, he used light distortion to become invisible.

Without saying much upon entering, Qian Daoliu extended his spiritual power into Tian Hao's lower dantian, sensing the enormous space within and marveling at it.

"You little rascal, you always manage to surprise us."

Qian Daoliu was increasingly gratified. This was their true loyal supporter, who would immediately present any new discoveries or valuable items. Their Spirit Hall needed such loyal talents.

"It was just a chance discovery."

Tian Hao replied modestly.

"You all take a look too, and focus on sensing whether the space inside is stable."

With a smile, Qian Daoliu gestured for the three clansmen behind him to step forward and sense the power.

Three angels skilled in spatial soul techniques stepped forward and extended their spiritual power into the space to carefully sense it. After a while, they withdrew their spiritual power, their faces flushed with excitement.

"The inner space is very stable. Even if you release a ten-thousand-year soul skill inside, it may not be able to break it. It is definitely a good place to store soul power."

The eldest member of the Angel Clan said excitedly, "If we could open up such a space within all our clansmen to store soul power, our combat strength would definitely increase by at least one level. We could use our ultimate moves as ordinary methods, especially after we have acquired the True Soul of the Martial Soul."

"This is a top-tier storage soul tool accumulated by our angel clan, capable of storing living beings. Please demonstrate it."

After receiving confirmation that there were no problems, Qian Daoliu took out seven storage soul tools of different styles, all of which could store living things. He had collected them from his clan before he came.

Tian Hao didn't stand on ceremony. He took the storage soul tools and used his spiritual power and soul power to sense them, choosing the one with the largest internal space.

Sensing the space inside, which was twice as large as Bibi Dong's, Tian Hao was secretly delighted. He had gotten a top-tier storage soul tool for free so quickly; it was a real bargain.

Calming his mind, he took out the blood of Bone Douluo that he had prepared beforehand and smeared it on the manifested head soul bone. Soon, a bright yellow soul ring appeared from it and was put on his body.

Upon seeing Tian Hao, three angels skilled in spatial soul techniques stepped forward and carefully sensed him with their spiritual power.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Betrothal to Bibi Dong

Tian Hao used Bone Douluo's first soul skill to extract a wisp of spatial power from the storage soul tool and then transferred it into his lower dantian. However, when he tried to merge with it, he was rejected by the space in his lower dantian and could not integrate it.

"How can it not fuse?"

Tian Hao was puzzled; they had been merging perfectly fine back then.

An angel clansman thoughtfully remarked, "These top-tier storage soul tools are not made from gems containing spatial power, but rather from the organs of space-type soul beasts that possess internal space."

Just as the soul power of soul beasts differs, the spatial power within these spatial organs should also differ, which is why different spatial powers are repelled.

This repulsion cannot be eliminated until this difference in characteristics is eliminated.

"I see. Then we'll use it to expand the middle dantian."
