Chapter 438 Cultivating the Soul Core.
"Hoo!"
After regaining his senses, Di Tian took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down from his excitement. Then, he looked deeply at Xuan Mo with his golden eyes.
"I didn't expect you to have truly evolved your Martial Soul to this level."
Xuan Mo remained silent as he listened to Di Tian's words. Clearly, Xuan Mo understood everything from Di Tian's words, but he didn't say anything. After all, to be honest, although the Dragon Kings and Di Tian each had their own purposes, the help they had given him was undeniably beneficial.
"Senior Di Tian, what brings you here this time?"
Di Tian looked at Xuan Mo, not intending to keep him in suspense, and said, "I brought you here to try creating a Soul Core."
"A Soul Core!?"
Xuan Mo exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this. He was quite familiar with soul cores, but now…
"Hmm?" Seeing Xuan Mo's reaction, Di Tian raised an eyebrow slightly. "Have you heard of soul cores?"
Seeing Xuan Mo remain silent, Di Tian didn't press the matter. After all, he had only asked casually; the most important thing was for Xuan Mo to try cultivating a soul core, and of course, it would be even better if he could cultivate one.
"Your soul power has already reached a liquid state, hasn't it?"
Di Tian said, nodding to himself. "Not bad, you're not like those other useless soul masters." By the end, Di Tian didn't need to hide his disdain.
"Boy, let me ask you, do you know why there are so few human soul masters who reach the Title Douluo level?"
Xuan Mo was stunned upon hearing this. Few?
Then, he recalled the scene he witnessed more than five years ago when he arrived here, and his whole body trembled.
Indeed, compared to the 100,000-year-old soul beasts slumbering on the central island, neither the three upper sects nor the Spirit Hall could match their numbers when it came to Title Douluos and 100,000-year-old soul beasts.
And in this situation of significant disparity in strength, the soul beasts didn't intervene. Firstly, it was due to the Silver Dragon King's orders; secondly, it was probably out of fear of the existence of those gods.
Thinking of this, Xuan Mo shook his head at Di Tian.
"Heh, those trash simply don't understand."
Di Tian was inherently arrogant and didn't take human soul masters seriously at all. Of course, this was also because he genuinely possessed the strength to back it up.
"To achieve a title, one thing is unavoidable."
Xuan Mo instinctively exclaimed upon hearing this, "A Soul Core!"
Di Tian glanced at him, then said calmly, "That's right, a Soul Core. This is the foundation for those of you who become Title Douluos. After Soul Power solidifies, it transforms into a Soul Core, which resides in the Soul Master's dantian. The Soul Core, in its constant rotation, absorbs external Soul Power through the Soul Master, supplying it for their use. Both combat power and recovery ability are far stronger than before. Hence the saying, 'Achieving a title is like ascending to heaven in one step.'"
Then, a cold smile appeared on his face, "However, this method of obtaining a Soul Core, the key to breaking through to Title Douluo, is completely unknown in your Soul Master world."
At this moment, the images of Flander and Zhao Wuji suddenly appeared in Xuan Mo's mind.
"Then, Dean and Teacher Zhao, to be precise, how did those Title Douluos break through?"
Xuan Mo suddenly remembered this.
And just then, Di Tian picked up the thread, "You were just saying why those Title Douluo humans outside can become Title Douluo even without the Soul Core technique, right?"
Xuan Mo nodded silently...
"It's simple, what they have isn't a pure Soul Core at all. Instead, it relies on Soul Power, rare and precious materials, or Soul Bones, or... sacrifice."
When Di Tian mentioned the last two methods, the subtle aura in his eyes revealed the unease within him.
"Those Title Douluos outside are very lucky. Actually, if a Soul Master reaches the peak of Soul Douluo, even if they don't know the cultivation method of Soul Core, they can still use those two things to sublimate their Soul Power and then forcibly cultivate a Soul Core. As for whether it's pure or not… hehe."
After hearing Di Tian's words, Xuan Mo quickly asked, "Is there any drawback to using this method of borrowing external forces to break through?"
"There is, but it's not a big problem."
Di Tian shook his head, "It's just that among Title Douluos of the same level with and without Soul Cores, those with Soul Cores are stronger."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mo's heart stirred, and he quickly asked, "Then how should we make up for it?"
"It's very simple, just re-condense it. For a Title Douluo, this is not difficult."
In the ensuing question-and-answer session between Xuan Mo and Di Tian, Di Tian had completely explained to Xuan Mo what Soul Cores were and how to cultivate them…
"Alright."
After explaining the last point about the soul core, Di Tian said, "After all this talk, shouldn't you try it out yourself?"
Xuan Mo's face stiffened upon hearing this, and he pointed to his nose. "But it's only been a year since my soul power changed from gaseous to liquid. Could this be..."
"Don't rush." Di Tian interrupted Xuan Mo. "You're going to inherit the power of several first-generation Dragon Kings and prove yourself a god."
He paused, then added, "Besides, it's just an experiment."
Seeing this, Xuan Mo knew Di Tian was right. Besides, it was just condensing a soul core at the Soul Saint level, right? He refused to believe he couldn't do it. So, after taking a deep breath...
"Since that's the case, let's begin."
"Yes. I'll protect you from the side."
Di Tian waved his right hand, instantly sealing off the surroundings. "Your most important task now is to feel that sensation. You haven't experienced it before, so you can only try it little by little. Of course, I suggest you use Devouring and Earth Power for this Soul Core. As for the second Soul Core, I'll tell you later..."
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Xuan Mo's eyes.
Looking at the serious-faced Di Tian, the introduction to Di Tian's second Soul Core gradually surfaced in his mind. It seems that what Di Tian is doing now is preparing for my Yin-Yang complementary dual Soul Core.
"So, shall I begin now?"
"Yes, let's begin."
Xuan Mo first calmed his mind. Then, following Di Tian's instructions, he adjusted his mental state, closed his eyes, circulated and internalized his spiritual power, and checked his soul power.
Di Tian stood beside him, and even though his expression was cold, he still nodded secretly upon seeing Xuan Mo's current performance.
When Xuan Mo reopened his eyes, he slowly raised his hands, and a stream of black and a stream of yellow soul power flowed out from his left and right hands respectively.
Then, after about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Di Tian showed no change in emotion.
"You failed."
Then, another hour passed.
"Failed again."
And then, it continued...
