—------------------—
Under Ditian's powerful offensive, the two 100,000-year Spirit Beasts had no ability to resist and were quickly defeated.
Looking at the unconscious Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python, Shi Quan suppressed the excitement in his heart.
He was not in a hurry to absorb their spirit rings. In the original novel, Tang San broke through from Rank 60 directly to Rank 65 after Xiao Wu's sacrifice at Rank 60.
When Shi Quan accepted the Blue Silver King's sacrifice, his spirit power Rank had already reached Rank 60, but because the Blue Silver King sacrificed the fifth spirit ring, the increase in spirit power was not evident.
But one thing is certain, Shi Quan's current spirit power Rank is at least close to Rank 65.
The spirit power increase brought by a 100,000-year spirit ring is undoubtedly huge. If Shi Quan's true spirit power truly reached Rank 65 now, absorbing a single 100,000-year spirit ring alone would probably raise his spirit power to around Rank 68 or 69.
However, if he absorbed two 100,000-year spirit rings at once, Shi Quan was certain that his soul spirit should be able to directly cross from Rank 60 to the next Bottleneck, which is Rank 70.
In that case, the Spirit Master treasure chest could be integrated again.
After the plunder treasure chest was integrated, it yielded a Divine Ability like One Qi Transforming into Three Purities, which surpassed the Divine Rank. What kind of treasure would be yielded if three Spirit Master treasure chests were integrated?
Besides diligent Cultivation, a large part of the reason for Shi Quan's rapid increase in strength was the spirit power increase brought by the spirit rings.
"Ditian, before absorbing their spirit rings, can you give me the life gold first?" Shi Quan looked at Ditian.
"Yes. Wait for me here."
As soon as his voice fell, Ditian disappeared from his original spot.
Seeing Ditian leave, everyone couldn't help but gather around.
"Shi Quan, what is Ditian's Origin?" Dugu Bo asked first.
"Ditian is the current leader of the Spirit Beast race, and his true form is a Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King," Shi Quan introduced.
Everyone was instantly startled.
"Then isn't he like the Water Dragon King?" Ye Lingling covered her mouth and said, "No wonder his strength is so formidable."
Shi Quan thought for a moment and said, "Ditian is indeed the current Clan Chief of the Black Dragon race, but there is still a considerable gap between him and the Water Dragon King. The Spirit Bones you and Yan Yan absorbed are the Spirit Bones of the first-generation Dragon King. Ditian is not the first-generation Black Dragon King."
Because he seemed to remember that in Douluo Dalu 2, Ditian seemed to have referred to Elder Xuan's Martial Spirit as 'Uncle'.
Dugu Yan asked, "Then how strong is Ditian?"
"His Cultivation exceeds 800,000 years. He is a semi-Divine Rank powerhouse, and there are very few people on the entire continent who can rival him."
"800,000 years?!" Everyone was shocked.
That number alone was enough to make it difficult for them to imagine.
"There are actually such powerhouses among the Spirit Beast race. It seems the strength of Spirit Beasts far exceeds what humans can imagine," Dugu Bo couldn't help but sigh.
Shi Quan nodded and said, "There are indeed people among humans who can rival Ditian: Qian Daoliu of Spirit Hall, Bo Saixi of Sea God Island, and Tang Chen. All three of them are Rank 99 Limit Douluo. Especially Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi, they each worship the Angel God and Sea God. They might even be able to borrow the power of the gods, so their strength is not inferior to Ditian."
Zhuqing exclaimed, "Spirit Hall still has such a powerhouse?"
"Qian Daoliu's strength is indeed extremely terrifying. If it weren't for Qian Daoliu's existence, Spirit Hall would never have developed to this point," Dugu Bo had to nod in agreement.
"Shi Quan, what is that life gold you want used for?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.
"life gold is a solidified, purified form of Life force, containing extremely terrifying Life energy. In terms of preciousness, its value is even higher than Immortal Herbs. It can not only greatly improve your body and Cultivation speed, but when contained within your mental force, it has endless wondrous uses. You'll understand once you get it and experience it yourselves."
Just as Shi Quan was explaining to Ji Ren, a black crack appeared in mid-air, and Ditian's figure stepped out from it.
"This is the life gold you wanted."
Saying that, a clear, crystal-like emerald green item flew out from Ditian's hand and landed in Shi Quan's hand.
"What terrifying Life force."
Shi Quan looked at the life gold in his hand. The moment he held it, he could clearly feel the extremely rich Life force of the life gold.
Moreover, this piece of life gold was surprisingly large, about the size of a tennis ball, resembling both crystal and metal.
Shi Quan hadn't expected Ditian to be so generous as to give him such a large piece of life gold.
Thinking this, Shi Quan drew the Xuanyuan Dragon Spine from his back.
He did not intend to monopolize this life gold. Based on the situations of Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Bo, he used Xuanyuan to divide the life gold into four parts, handing them to the four individuals. At the same time, he said, "The Life force within the life gold is too strong. If it is absorbed into the body normally, the Life energy within it will not only not provide feedback, but will instead backlash and absorb your Life force."
"Then how should this life gold be used?" Everyone stared at the life gold in their hands, puzzled.
"The Sea of Spirit Sense!" Shi Quan pointed to his glabella and said, "Although the body cannot withstand it, if it is placed into the Sea of Spirit Sense and isolated with mental force, there's no need to worry about it absorbing the body's Life force. Moreover, the Life force within it can also nourish the Soul, which will greatly benefit both the body and the mental force."
Ye Lingling and the others had all Cultivated the Spirit God Art taught by Shi Quan, and their mental force was not weak, strong enough to withstand the life gold.
The amount of life gold primarily depended on the mental force strength of each person.
"Lingling, I'll assist you with the absorption first." Shi Quan looked at Ye Lingling.
Shi Quan's choice was not without reason. Because Ye Lingling had the Sea God's Heart within her, coupled with her Wisdom Spirit Bone, her mental force was the most condensed. Helping Ye Lingling first was the safest option. With Ye Lingling as a precedent, Shi Quan would have a smoother time helping Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing later.
"Okay." Ye Lingling agreed, then asked, "What do I need to do?"
"Place the life gold on your glabella, focus your mind, and sense it with your mental force. The process might be somewhat painful, but you must endure it. As long as you persevere, it will be fine."
"Understood." Ye Lingling nodded.
Shi Quan summoned his Soul Martial Spirit, connected his Spirit Sense with Ye Lingling, and his mental force surged out, guiding Ye Lingling's mental force into the life gold.
In an instant, the life gold glowed with a brilliant green light, and an extremely rich and vibrant Life force instantly poured into Ye Lingling's body through her glabella.
An unprecedented feeling of comfort spread throughout her body. Ye Lingling felt as if every tiny part of her body was moaning in bliss.
The rich Life force continuously cleansed Ye Lingling's body.
This was just the beginning. After Ye Lingling's body had somewhat adapted to the life gold's Life force, the true Fusion began!
Suddenly, the life gold on Ye Lingling's glabella fiercely struck her glabella. The hard life gold pierced her skin and sank into her skull.
The intense pain made Ye Lingling want to let out a painful shriek, but Shi Quan forcibly held her down.
"Lingling, hold on."
After a brief blankness in Ye Lingling's consciousness, she quickly recovered at Shi Quan's call.
She only felt a vast Life aura surging from her forehead into her Sea of Spirit Sense. The originally gentle aura now stimulated her nerves like thousands of steel needles.
Shi Quan released his hand and watched as the emerald green life gold gradually softened and slowly flowed from Ye Lingling's glabella into her mind. He knew then that it was a success. From then on, Ye Lingling would have to rely on herself to fuse, transform, and absorb it.
The absorption of the life gold could be said to have further laid the foundation for the three girls to become gods in the future.
Shi Quan then successively helped Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan absorb the life gold, and finally Dugu Bo.
All of this took only a short half an hour.
Absorbing life gold does not require too much time. Shi Quan planned to absorb the life gold first, which would also allow him to recover some spirit power during this time.
To absorb the two 100,000-year spirit rings from the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python simultaneously, Shi Quan also needed to make ample preparations.
Before obtaining One Qi Transforming into Three Purities, he had no such idea. After all, the two 100,000-year spirit rings were prepared for two different Martial Spirits. It was already unheard of to attach multiple spirit rings to a single Martial Spirit, let alone simultaneously attach spirit rings to two Martial Spirits.
But with the Divine Ability of One Qi Transforming into Three Purities, it was different. He could split an Incarnation to absorb the spirit rings. Although the Incarnation could only last for one hour, as long as the Incarnation started it, he would only need to endure the impact of the energy afterward.
Powerful mental force spread out, and the life gold in Shi Quan's hand slowly floated up, attaching to his glabella.
Feeling the vast Life force coming from his glabella, Shi Quan's life soul core instantly vibrated wildly. Powerful Life force permeated his body, intertwining with the life gold's Life force.
A verdant green light bloomed from Shi Quan's body.
The floating life gold directly transformed into a verdant green liquid and melted into Shi Quan's forehead.
A vast Life aura continuously washed over his body, centered on his forehead.
His Sea of Spirit Sense was enveloped by a vibrant vitality. Three light figures formed in Shi Quan's mind: Yin Lao, Xiao Meng, and Shukaku.
At this moment, Shi Quan's Sea of Spirit Sense had turned into a verdant green ocean. His Sea of Spirit Sense was vast, and as the dense Life aura continuously accumulated, it also began to become viscous. His Sea of Spirit Sense was also strengthened again under the influence of the Life force.
The process of the Life aura nourishing the Sea of Spirit Sense was equivalent to nourishing their Martial Spirit Origin, which also brought considerable benefits to the three of them.
The life soul core frantically absorbed the Life force emanating from the Sea of Spirit Sense. Under the pull of the Life force, the life soul core actually came into Shi Quan's Sea of Spirit Sense. The Life aura and mental force intertwined. The originally silver-white, ethereal mental World now transformed into a verdant green lake, full of vitality.
