Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Clay, the Creator of All Things

It transformed into the purest spiritual essence, which Lu Yan absorbed as resources.

According to Lu Yan's estimation, it would be extremely difficult to penetrate his mental defenses, let alone a mental attack that a Soul King level cultivator could withstand.

Even if he were to advance one or two more levels, reaching the level of Soul Emperor or Soul Saint, he could still try to withstand it.

This is the effect of his current state of refining spirit, which is still in its infancy and has not been practiced for a long time.

With ample preparation, Lu Yan handled the task with ease, and the spirit rings were completely attached to him.

He then felt the dual impact of soul power and spirit from the soul ring.

The impact of soul power goes without saying, as it was supported by the magical power provided by Tianxing.

The total amount of soul power in the soul rings is not even comparable to the total amount of magic power within the Heavenly Star.

Under the constraints of the Celestial Star's magical power, the soul rings and soul power were as obedient as sons.

Soul Ring Power: My family, we've fallen on hard times.

However, it was also because of the decline of his soul rings and soul power that Lu Yan suddenly realized something.

The level increase I get after adding this soul ring this time will probably never be as terrifying as the second ring, which had a seven-level boost.

The soul ring's soul power was simply insufficient to support a complete fusion and transformation with the celestial star's magic power.

Naturally, Lu Yan has less Transformation Soul Power available to upgrade his level with this new Soul Ring.

Lu Yan thought for a moment and realized that it was understandable. Since he had chosen a soul ring with such a limited lifespan, he naturally could not avoid such a flaw.

However you calculate it, achieving a soul power level increase that doubles the effect of the soul ring itself is still possible.

The maximum range for increasing soul power level with future added soul rings will likely be limited to this range.

This is the best effect that can be achieved through the interaction between the celestial magic power and the soul ring's soul power.

In fact, the same thing happened with the previous two times when I added spirit rings.

It's just that the problem wasn't exposed because the upper limit and quality of the resonant clay's soul power never exceeded that of the soul ring.

Similarly, the rate of quality improvement for the accompanying magic weapon, Tianxing, will likely slow down.

It is no longer possible to achieve the same result as before, where each additional spirit ring would lead to a transformation along with the evolution of the martial spirit.

In a sense, Lu Yan's growth curve will begin to slow down.

Lu Yan had actually sensed this after his martial soul evolved.

Therefore, we need to explore new avenues for growth, and the spiritual aspect is one of them.

On the other hand, there is no doubt that it is related to physical fitness.

However, it seems that mental improvement comes more easily at present.

The three-eyed black fox soul ring did have a mental impact, but for Lu Yan...

The level of this mental impact is no different from that of a soul power impact.

They were easily blocked by Lu Yan's Four Symbols Reincarnation Imagery, and have now been completely obliterated in the refining process of Imagery Reincarnation.

It completely transformed into a pure spiritual aura, which was then assimilated and absorbed by Lu Yan's spirit.

After a small boost and one last round of exploiting the Three-Eyed Black Fox, Lu Yan entered the second stage of absorbing soul rings.

Guided by the spirit ring, the transformed spirit power, or spiritual power, began to expand the meridians within Lu Yan's body.

In fact, Lu Yan was also curious about which meridians a spirit-type soul ring would guide the development of.

Thus, the meridians gradually expand and are completed under the guidance of the soul rings.

Lu Yan also gained some understanding, mainly focusing on the meridians of the three elements of water, fire, and wood.

Fire represents the spirit, water represents wisdom, and wood represents the eyes, which are the windows to the mind and the material world.

That makes sense.

However, after opening up these meridians, the transformation of soul power only consumed 30%, leaving a full 70%.

Guided by the soul ring, 70% of the transformed soul power rushed straight to Lu Yan's brow and the space between his eyebrows.

"boom!"

Lu Yan felt his entire being tremble, and a deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were splitting apart, seemed to explode in his ears.

This roar almost caused his spiritual imagery of the Four Symbols Reincarnation to lose control.

Immediately, in his inner vision, his field of vision came to a space that could not be described in words.

This space has no distinction between up, down, left, or right, nor between light and dark, large and small.

Only countless colorful streams of light weave and flow within it.

Are these fleeting lights my thoughts, perceptions, and memories?

In a way, Lu Yan seemed to understand something.

He suddenly realized that he had opened up a spiritual space under the guidance of his spirit ring.

Is this his sea of ​​consciousness?

As Lu Yan's subjective awareness grew, his vision began to broaden and expand.

Until the entire sea of ​​consciousness in his field of vision had transformed into a small, five-colored sphere with the four elements of wood, fire, metal, and water flowing around its outer edge.

Sure enough.

The next moment, Lu Yan's will formed a phantom body within his sea of ​​consciousness.

However, this illusory Lu Yan was expressionless, and his whole body radiated a faint golden light.

It has a sense of tranquility, inaction, and ethereal emptiness.

His eyes were indifferent, yet they seemed to contain the wonders of the sun and moon's movements and the principles of the creation and transformation of all things, as if they were a manifestation of the will of Heaven.

Clearly, Lu Yan is currently in a state where his primordial spirit is in charge.

However, since it has taken on human form, it is no longer in a state of pure Yang.

Rather, it is the old Yang among the four symbols, the state of ultimate Yang.

Although the primordial spirit is in charge, the acquired consciousness is not completely dormant.

It is a state where yin arises from yang.

Thus, the primordial spirit gradually transitions to the consciousness spirit taking over.

A faint smile appeared on Lu Yan's illusory face.

At this moment, his understanding of the Refining Spirit Technique deepened even further.

Thus, with his thoughts, the space in his sea of ​​consciousness began to have up, down, left, right, and all directions.

The pure air rises to become the sky, while the turbid air sinks to become the earth.

Wood represents the east, fire represents the south, metal represents the west, and water represents the north.

The so-called four symbols of heaven and earth are all images formed from Lu Yan's thoughts.

These respectively represent his various ideas about good and evil, desire for tranquility, and the differentiation of Yin and Yang and the Four Symbols.

The illusory image of Lu Yan is located in the very center of the sea of ​​consciousness, at the intersection of the Yin and Yang elements of the Earth element.

At this moment, it is gradually taking shape, just like the physical entities in the outside world.

He reached out and gestured towards the void, and a stone book materialized in the air.

The four large characters engraved on it are: Great Evolution Heavenly Book.

This book is a product of Lu Yan's memories and cognitive images.

The central earth element, impartial and balanced in yin and yang, symbolizes the steadfastness and unshakeability of Lu Yan's own will.

At this point, Lu Yan's sea of ​​consciousness was considered to have been opened up.

Meanwhile, outside the palace, Lu Yan had also entered the third stage of adding spirit rings.

Chapter 122 A god casually manipulates a mortal's fate.

Just as the origin of the soul ring began to nourish Lu Yan's martial soul.

A faint, purplish-black light flashed across the soul ring.

Spirit world.

As if sensing something, the Rakshasa God's sensual lips curved into a slight upward curve.

"Interesting. I never thought that wisp of mixed divine power would be obtained by a mortal soul master."

If the connection were not so weak that it would be inconvenient to descend with divine sense to observe.

The Rakshasa God was also somewhat interested in investigating.

However, since the conditions were not met, He naturally lost interest.

Through sensing, he made some small arrangements as a "gift" within that faint and chaotic divine power, and then paid no further attention to it.

Meanwhile, Lu Yan's sea of ​​consciousness began when the third stage of the Soul Ring's origin feedback began.

He had a strong sense of impending crisis.

This premonition comes from the mysterious and profound intuition of the primordial spirit.

"what happened?"

Lu Yan felt a sense of dread, and in that instant, even the entire sea of ​​consciousness seemed to begin to tremble.

He soon sensed it.

Outside the space of consciousness, a filthy and malevolent evil thought is constantly approaching.

This filthy, resentful evil thought transformed into the image of turbid waves, like pitch-black silt.

It surged towards Lu Yan's sea of ​​consciousness in an overwhelming manner.

Holy crap, what the hell!

Lu Yan, who had just finished opening up his sea of ​​consciousness, felt that this evil thought was incredibly large.
