Chapter 10: Preparing for a Breakthrough

Chapter 10: Preparing for a Breakthrough

"Xixi material, Wei Junjie! I appreciate your wisdom… you plant!" Du Bushi nodded in satisfaction before casting a murderous glare at the Fiery Apricot Delicate. The Fiery Apricot Delicate trembled like a leaf, reluctantly handing over a ball of fiery red gel.

Du Bushi took out two jade boxes from his storage soul tool and carefully placed the Fiery Gel and the Ice Crystal inside. These items were different from the Immortal Orchid; without the jade boxes, they were highly destructive and would lose their medicinal properties.

Though Du Qianjue hadn't specifically asked Du Bushi to retrieve these items, he had mentioned during his explanation of the various celestial herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that these two items could be used to refine a fire and ice-resistant body, making one immune to water, fire, and all poisons while greatly enhancing physical strength.

Du Bushi remembered this and decided to get them for Du Qianjue's body training before returning for his breakthrough. Du Bushi's care and concern for Du Qianjue were genuine and heartfelt.

After collecting the items, Du Bushi returned to the Delicate Silk Immortal.

"Human, what more do you want?" the Delicate Silk Immortal shrank back fearfully.

"Give me a Snow Swan Kiss, and I'll leave," Du Bushi demanded.

To rid itself of Du Bushi, the Delicate Silk Immortal quickly complied. A pink light shot from its petals, returning with a small pure white flower. Though the flower looked unremarkable, Du Bushi felt a strong sense of threat from it. He carefully wrapped it in pure soul power, placed it in a jade box, and stored it in his soul tool.

After one last look at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Du Bushi turned and left.

He hadn't just robbed the place; he also investigated. Knowing there was likely a god's will present, Du Bushi scanned the area. Aside from the central red and white springs and the Delicate Silk Immortal's roots, he found nothing unusual. If something was hidden, it had to be there.

As long as he didn't provoke the Delicate Silk Immortal too much, there shouldn't be significant problems.

Du Bushi quickly returned to the Ontology Sect, handed the two jade boxes to Du Qianjue, explaining they contained the Ice Crystal and Fiery Gel from the Fiery Apricot Delicate and the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, and then rushed back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

He brought the items back first because he feared his breakthrough might fail, leading to his death, and also worried about provoking the god's will during his breakthrough. If that happened, he wouldn't be able to deliver the treasures.

But Du Bushi still decided to proceed. He planned to create a significant disturbance, hoping to draw out the god's will and deplete it, ensuring Du Qianjue's safe entry.

With a do-or-die attitude, Du Bushi sat in the center of the Green Scale Poison Array, surrounded by thousands of Green Scale Seven-Jewel and Nine-Jewel flowers, providing him with endless soul power.

Du Bushi sat cross-legged, and the surrounding Green Scale flowers trembled from his oppressive aura, having no desire to resist despite their numbers.

Taking the Immortal Orchid, Du Bushi began his breakthrough.

A thousand years ago, those who broke through to level ninety-nine were called Ultimate Douluos. Without the soul core system, breakthroughs relied on martial soul insights, known as the Moon Dominion Realm.

Now, with the soul core system, breaking through to titled Douluo and level ninety-nine had become easier. As long as the mental power was sufficient, forming the first and second soul cores at levels eighty-nine and ninety-eight respectively enabled breakthroughs.

Though martial soul insights were not as profound as a thousand years ago, the soul core system greatly enhanced combat power. It was hard to say which era's experts were stronger.

The first soul core was straightforward, but the second soul core had two formation methods: Resonance and Complement.

Resonance involved rotating both cores in the same direction, creating a large soul power cycle within the body. Complement involved rotating the cores in opposite directions, forming soul power vortices in the meridians, storing soul power with space energy, and was far superior to Resonance.

Due to physical limitations, human soul masters could only use Resonance for the second soul core. Only soul beasts with strong bodies could form Complement second soul cores at seven hundred thousand years.

Du Bushi intended to form the unprecedented Complement second soul core. He was bold and fortunate. His first soul core was based on soul power, and for the second, he had two choices: space energy or his life-threatening poison.

Lacking sufficient space energy proficiency, Du Bushi chose his life-threatening poison for the second soul core.

This place was perfect for him. Surrounded by thousands of Green Scale Seven-Jewel and Nine-Jewel flowers and the thousand-year-old toxic cloud above, with the Snow Swan Kiss to multiply poison production and the Immortal Orchid to protect against backlash, this was a rare opportunity.

With his twice-awakened golden-level martial soul body, he decided to attempt forming the Complement second soul core.

A hint of madness flashed in Du Bushi's eyes. His first soul core spun rapidly, absorbing the surrounding toxic cloud. The Green Scale flowers shattered, transforming into pure poison and soul power, which Du Bushi absorbed.

The breakthrough commotion startled the newly slumbering celestial herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"This aura… is that human back again? What's he doing now?" The herbs were exasperated, having no fondness for Du Bushi.

Regardless of their thoughts, Du Bushi's breakthrough continued unabated.

Meanwhile, in the God Realm, inside the Sea God Hall, Tang San's expression was conflicted.

"How was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well discovered? That's impossible..."
