Whew!
Shi Quan slowly opened his eyes from meditation. His eyes seemed to contain an endless starry sky, so profound that their depths were unfathomable.
The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone brought Shi Quan two powerful auxiliary Spirit abilities.
The first Spirit Ability was named Blue Silver Light. This Spirit Ability perfectly demonstrated the Blue Silver Emperor's vitality. The brilliant Blue Silver Light would stimulate the Life force within the body, rapidly heal internal injuries, and eliminate negative statuses. As long as one was not dead, they could recover as before. When the Blue Silver Light completely enveloped someone, it could even grant immunity to one instance of damage, making it an extremely powerful healing and protective skill.
The second Spirit Ability was named Blue Silver Contract. This Spirit Ability was very special and could not be released independently. It required a contract target. After contracting with the target, both parties would share Life. Shi Quan could transfer injuries he sustained to the contract target. The contract target needed to be willing, otherwise, the contract could not be formed.
Blue Silver Light was an upgraded version of 'Spring Wind Blows Again', but this Blue Silver Contract was quite interesting. It felt like the appearance of this Spirit Ability should have some connection with the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
Besides the Spirit abilities, this Blue Silver Spirit Bone's enhancement to him was unexpectedly great, and it even allowed him to condense a life soul core.
Logically speaking, even the 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, the 100,000 Year Blue Silver King Soul Bone, and the Life force contained within the Immortal Herb Yearning Heartbroken Red should not have been enough to help Shi Quan directly condense a soul core.
"Is it because of the reincarnation soul core within my body?"
Shi Quan recalled the various events when he condensed the life soul core. If it weren't for the sudden vibration of the reincarnation soul core, his life soul core might not have been so easy to condense.
He thought that it was because his body had already been transformed by the power of Reincarnation, and the appearance of the Blue Silver Right Leg Bone was just a catalyst.
A person's body has three Dantians: the upper Dantian is at the Yintang point of the Du meridian, also known as the "Niwan Palace"; the middle Dantian is at the Tanzhong acupoint in the chest; and the lower Dantian is at the Guanyuan acupoint of the Ren meridian, three inches below the navel.
The life soul core was located three inches below Shi Quan's navel, which was the lower Dantian. The reincarnation soul core was located in the middle Dantian in his chest.
Their locations were not the same, so naturally, they did not affect each other.
The different locations of these two soul cores reminded Shi Quan of descriptions in some novels from his previous Life: a person has three treasures, named Essence, Qi, and Martial Spirit.
The upper Dantian is the place for condensing Martial Spirit, the middle Dantian is where Qi gathers, and the lower Dantian is where Essence is stored.
It was somewhat consistent.
With his strength increased again, Shi Quan was even more confident in absorbing the god-bestowed spirit ring next.
"Shi Quan, have you finished absorbing the Spirit Bone?" As soon as Shi Quan awoke, Dugu Bo's figure appeared before him.
"Yes, I'm going to absorb the spirit ring next." Shi Quan nodded, raised his hand, and touched it. The golden crystal ball formed by the Dragon God Dragon Soul appeared in Shi Quan's hand.
Dugu Bo looked at the golden crystal ball in Shi Quan's hand and nodded, "You caused quite a stir when you were absorbing the Spirit Bone just now. I thought something was wrong with you. You're not even sure about this god-bestowed spirit ring yourself, so you still need to be careful."
"Understood." Shi Quan replied, "Don't worry, Grandpa Dugu, I'll be careful. And you don't need to worry too much; with the two Seniors here, I won't have any problems."
Shi Quan's gaze fell on the Two Great Dragon Kings' Dragon Souls.
The Water Dragon King also said, "This is indeed a god-bestowed spirit ring. It contains the power of the Master. The power within it will grant you the most needed Spirit Ability and the highest possible Rank of spirit ring you can withstand."
Shi Quan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Senior, is there a limit to this maximum extent?"
The Water Dragon King was stunned for a moment, then said, "The Master's power is boundless, but the power of this god-bestowed spirit ring is limited. However, up until now, there has never been a situation where the power bestowed by the Master was completely absorbed."
Upon hearing this, Shi Quan understood. He sat down cross-legged again, "Grandpa Dugu, I'm going to absorb the spirit ring now. Please look after Zhuqing. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Dugu Bo nodded at his words.
Shi Quan then summoned his Soul Martial Spirit. His spiritual aura was restrained, and the Martial Spirit merged into Shi Quan's body.
With a slight movement of his finger, he flicked it gently, and with a 'crack', the golden pearl shattered. The rich nine-colored light from the crystal ball spread like a torrent to every corner of Shi Quan's body, obscuring his figure.
Just as the golden pearl shattered, two halos of light, one yellow and one blue, simultaneously emanated from Shi Quan's body.
The two halos of light only appeared on the surface of Shi Quan's body, instantly filling him with a vibrant Life force and a profound, heavy aura.
The absorption of a god-bestowed spirit ring changed according to one's endurance. This had been described in the original work, so Shi Quan naturally knew it by heart.
The release of the Earth Domain and Blue Silver Domain allowed Shi Quan to receive this god-bestowed spirit ring in the best possible state.
With the two Domains appearing, the nine-colored light surrounding Shi Quan immediately became even more concentrated. Within the nine-colored mist, faint golden threads could vaguely be seen beginning to constantly compress around Shi Quan's body.
At the same time, golden light flickered behind Shi Quan, and the Holy Dragon Eight Spears and Dragon Spine appeared. Simultaneously, his chest, right arm, and Right Leg Bone all emitted faint halos of light. Through the stimulation of Internal Energy, the two external Spirit Bones and the three Spirit Bones within his body all exerted their effects.
Shi Quan was preparing to see if he could directly absorb all the power from the god-bestowed spirit ring condensed by the Dragon God Dragon Soul.
So, from the start, he unleashed his full power without reservation.
Indeed, when the abilities of his five Spirit Bones were released, all the nine-colored mist surrounding his body had already transformed.
All the nine-colored mist dissipated, condensing into countless nine-colored threads. These threads encircled the golden light from before, as if weaving, constantly moving around Shi Quan's body. Accompanying the movement of these nine-colored threads, Shi Quan's spirit power was released without reservation.
The mountain dragon king's torso bone provided carrying and stabilizing properties, making Shi Quan's body as tough and unyielding as a towering mountain.
The powerful Life force from the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone constantly nourished Shi Quan's body. Facing the immense pressure brought by the god-bestowed spirit ring, any damage would be rapidly repaired by the power of the Spirit Bone.
As for the Illusory Martial Spirit Dragon Right Arm Bone and the two external Spirit Bones, the Dragon Spine and Holy Dragon Eight Spears, they provided extremely powerful enhancements to Shi Quan's body.
The five Spirit Bones, layered and diminishing, continuously assisted Shi Quan in resisting the pressure brought by the god-bestowed spirit ring.
As time passed, the nine-colored energy around Shi Quan changed again. The golden line in the center had condensed into a golden halo, and the nine-colored energy condensed into nine single-colored lines. The nine lines were like playful Martial Spirits, constantly leaping and colliding on the golden halo.
With each collision, the golden halo would emit a faint golden glow that converged towards Shi Quan in the center. The converging halo seemed to carry immense power, and with each halo that touched Shi Quan's body, his figure would slightly move.
It was fine at first, but as the collisions became more frequent and faster, sweat began to appear on Shi Quan's forehead, and the Holy Dragon Eight Spears and Dragon Spine behind him also began to tremble.
The inner circle of the golden halo gradually turned blood-red, but this was only the beginning.
Under the powerful impact, a verdant green light emanated from Shi Quan's Dantian in his lower abdomen, with green and blue lights intertwined.
Although it stabilized Shi Quan's swaying figure, it was still far from the golden halo's limit.
The brilliant golden light shone even brighter, and the impact of the nine-colored lines became more ferocious. Even with the support of the life soul core, fine beads of blood began to appear on Shi Quan's body surface.
Under the flickering blood-light, the golden halo was gradually taken over by more and more blood-red color.
The Two Great Dragon Kings' Dragon Souls watched this scene before them with burning gazes.
The golden ring represented all the energy of the god-bestowed spirit ring. If Shi Quan could transform all the power of the golden ring into red, it would mean that Shi Quan had absorbed all the energy of the god-bestowed spirit ring.
A normal Spirit Master could at most absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring. However, for Shi Quan, 100,000 years was just the beginning.
When the inner circle of the golden spirit ring turned red, the energy within it had already reached the 100,000-year level.
100,000 years had not even forced out all of Shi Quan's power.
It was enough to show how profound Shi Quan's current strength truly was.
They were also curious if Shi Quan could surpass his limit, for the energy bestowed by the Dragon God was not so simple.
The Dragon God's bestowal of power was certainly based on the recipient's own condition. This meant that the power within the god-bestowed spirit ring would inevitably exceed Shi Quan's capacity.
However, they could see that Shi Quan's strength had just increased significantly, and in this situation, there was a chance to completely absorb the power of the god-bestowed spirit ring.
As time quietly passed, half of the golden ring had already turned blood-red.
Blood and sweat had already dyed Shi Quan's entire body red.
Next was the test of perseverance and Mind.
"Senior Dragon King, is Shi Quan alright?" Dugu Bo looked at Shi Quan's blood-red figure, his eyes filled with unconcealed worry. He could only raise his hand to inquire of the Two Great Dragon Kings' Dragon Souls.
The Two Great Dragon Kings heard him but did not respond, only the Water Dragon King gently shook his head.
Zhu Zhuqing, who had just awakened from her Cultivation, was startled by this scene. Her eyes were red as she watched, her worry unconcealed.
Before, she could Cultivate calmly, but now, seeing Shi Quan in this state, her beautiful eyes never left his body.
The fine beads of blood on Shi Quan's body gradually turned into a continuous flow of fresh blood, and every drop of overflowing blood made the golden spirit ring even more crimson.
Pfft!
Suddenly, Shi Quan seemed unable to withstand the powerful impact of the god-bestowed spirit ring and violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Dugu Bo and Zhu Zhuqing's expressions instantly changed drastically. In the next second, they only saw the splattered fresh blood completely dye the last bit of gold crimson!
"He actually succeeded!" The Two Great Dragon Kings whispered in surprise.
The nine-colored lines merged into the blood-red halo.
The powerful impact dissipated, and Shi Quan's aura began to calm down. A blood-red spirit ring quietly floated above the four silver spirit rings...
