Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains!

Two martial spirits, representing two directions of development for the Five Elements.

The Tianyuan Brush follows the principle of transforming the five elements into all things, while the Tianyuan Five Elements Spear does the exact opposite, using the five elements to devour all things, making them one's own, and strengthening oneself.

One follows the laws of heaven and earth, mobilizing the power of the outside world to evolve countless methods; the other nurtures itself, using all things to nourish itself, transforming all things into the five elements, and then integrating the five elements of the human body into itself.

Looking back at the last few souls in the data, Xu Yuan had his answer.

"These five spirit beasts do possess the five elements, but they are of little help to me. However, this Void Beast possesses spatial power, which can further improve the techniques of my Heavenly Origin Brush."

Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

It's not that his development of the Five Elements necessarily requires a spatial approach.

In reality, the path of the Five Elements' evolutionary space is not as convenient as the natural generation of spatial attributes of all things, nor as convenient as the evolutionary space of earth, fire, water, and wind.

However, the existence of spatial power is helpful for the development of many Five Elements techniques, especially the exploration of space, which will help Xu Yuan further improve his dream space.

Among the three martial souls, the Heavenly Origin Brush undoubtedly has the highest affinity with the elements.

The Heavenly Origin Brush is inherently designed to control the heavens and earth. Since the Five Elements can transform into all things, Xu Yuan has always used the Five Elements to construct his Heavenly Origin Brush system.

Now, the space can not only continue to assist Xu Yuan in developing more Five Elements techniques, but also prepare him for the final step of truly transforming the dream space from the virtual to the real.

"Void Beasts, the darlings of space, dwell in spatial rifts, live between dimensions, traverse different spatial layers, and grow by devouring spatial power."

The reason this Void Beast became a Soul Spirit was because it became curious and interested in Soul Masters. It appeared in Douluo Continent and was discovered by a Soul Master, thus becoming his Soul Spirit.

The information did not describe how the Soul Master manipulated the Void Beast, but Xu Yuan was certain that the Void Beast had been severely manipulated. Otherwise, if it could roam freely in the spatial interlayer, no one could catch it if it wanted to escape.

"If we're going to take the path of space, besides the Void Beast, there are several other options."

Xu Yuan turned around and glanced at the several spirits above. In addition to spatial attributes, they also had many other complex attributes.

After comparing them, he still ruled out the previous options.

He walked the path of erudition, but that doesn't mean his soul should also walk the path of erudition.

The Heavenly Origin Brush itself is compatible with all kinds of forces of heaven and earth, so it needs the soul to endow it with the basic ability to control various elements.

At this point, the more pure and natural the basic abilities are, the better.

The purity of the Void Beast's spatial attributes is among the best on the entire continent.

"The only problem right now is that I already have four soul spirits. With the spiritual power of the Spirit Abyss Realm, I can fuse up to five soul spirits, and even have a soul spirit of 100,000 years or even a ferocious beast level. But that's all I have left."

Xu Yuan broke through the bottleneck of 10,000 mental strength two and a half years ago.

Now, two and a half years have passed, and his spiritual power increases by several hundred points every month. He is now approaching the second minor bottleneck in the Spirit Abyss Realm, and the speed has slowed down, but it is still close to 15,000.

However, it took two and a half years to increase from 10,000 to nearly 15,000, which is still far from the Spirit Realm. There is not only a gap of 5,000 points, but also two bottlenecks, one large and one small.

If Xu Yuan can break through to the Spirit Realm within three years, it will be considered that he has had an incredible stroke of luck.

Under such circumstances, Xu Yuan's fusion with a 100,000-year-old soul spirit at this time means that he will have to cultivate with the corresponding martial soul in the future.

This is also a drawback of Xu Yuan's cultivation method.

Fortunately, his arrangements did not hinder his potential. Even if he could not continue to fuse new soul spirits, the soul spirits he already had were enough to provide him with enough soul rings to continue advancing. Just like now, he fused a 100,000-year soul spirit into the Heavenly Origin Brush, which would provide at least four more soul rings, meaning he could reach the ninth ring without any problem.

Xu Yuan frowned.

This requires a decision.

Switching to a different martial soul cultivation style wouldn't have much of an impact on him.

He wasn't particularly reliant on any one martial soul.

It's enough to have a martial soul that can be attached with a soul ring in time to meet the requirement of a soul power level of ten.

However, if the Brain Martial Soul is no longer attached with Soul Rings, and without the support of the Brain Martial Soul, reaching the Spirit Domain Realm quickly will only become more difficult.

Moreover, Xu Yuan was not yet prepared for the subsequent four soul rings of the Heavenly Origin Brush to be granted by the Void Beast.

"Wait a minute."

With a sigh, Xu Yuan still did not immediately seek out Yun Ming to demand the soul of the Void Beast.

While a 100,000-year-old soul would be desirable, Xu Yuan doesn't have an urgent need for it right now.

Now that he already possesses a 100,000-year spirit ring, his expectations for it have become quite low. At least for most spirit masters, his desire for a 100,000-year spirit ring isn't that exaggerated.

After reviewing the information again and focusing on the key memories of the souls, Xu Yuan finally turned his attention back to himself.

"If I don't add spatial attributes for the time being, then the realization of my dream space may really only be possible through gradual effort."

Dream space.

Yao Yao circled around Xu Yuan, reporting on his recent cultivation progress.

"Well, it's alright. The dream space has reached a bottleneck. If we don't add more spatial power to assist it, we can only wait for my forging skills to improve further."

Soul Forging.

This is Xu Yuan's current forging skill level.

And when his forging skills advance further, it will obviously be Heavenly Forging.

He believed that the difficulty of his Heavenly Forging was lower than that of breaking through to the Spirit Realm.

To be precise, it's that he can complete the Heavenly Forging in a shorter time.

However, normally speaking, the Spirit Realm is the threshold for Heavenly Forging. Without the spiritual power of the Spirit Realm, one cannot perform Heavenly Forging.

In other words, what Xu Yuan said actually sounds illogical.

In reality, he wasn't very confident about it either.

All we can say is that he has a chance to complete the Heavenly Forging without the spiritual power of the Spirit Realm, but whether he can succeed is unclear.

Just like when he completed the perfect fusion forging, he skipped the control over the power of heaven and earth required for heavenly forging. Instead, he used the interaction between the dream space and the real world to carry out the virtual and real world furnace method to complete the perfect fusion forging. Perhaps the spiritual power requirements of the Spirit Realm can also be avoided to some extent by using the dream space.

Thus, this can be considered a stroke of luck for Yao Yao.

Xu Yuan looked at Yao Yao.

"Yao Yao, you also have to work hard. If everything goes smoothly, the day the dream space becomes a real thing will be your chance to advance to the 100,000-year level. If you haven't even reached the basic 100,000-year level before then, you will definitely miss this opportunity."

Xu Yuan spoke earnestly.

However, Yao Yao on the other side had her head drooping, looking dejected.

The demon is dead.

This Soul Master has started assigning tasks again.

Damn it, shouldn't the soul's lifespan be increased by the soul master going to the Spirit Ascension Platform to fight monsters and absorb spiritual power?

"I will be staying at the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform for two months, which should be enough to help you all advance by ten to twenty thousand years," Xu Yuan said.

He hadn't been to the Ascension Platform in a long time.

The last time he returned to Tianhai City was because Xu Shengqun broke through. At that time, he actually planned to undergo some spiritual ascension there before returning. Unfortunately, he was attacked by evil soul masters along the way and could only launch a counterattack first. After that, he never found an opportunity.

Now that he has time again, Xu Yuan naturally plans to return to Tianhai City and spend some time at the intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platform.

The main reason was that he had just discovered the problem with his mental strength, which spurred him on.

His mental strength is now indeed close to 15,000.

His progress had already slowed down due to the minor bottleneck of advancing from the mid-level to the high-level of the Spirit Abyss Realm at 15,000, and he needed an opportunity to help him quickly overcome this small hurdle.

Improving one's soul is a good way to do this.

The soul is inherently bound to the spiritual origin. When the soul is powerful, the soul master's spiritual power will also be replenished. For soul masters whose spiritual power is at a bottleneck, increasing the lifespan of the soul is a relatively clear way to break through.

There are some useless resources.

After all, to achieve a sufficient level of spiritual nourishment, the improvement of the soul is enormous, which requires immersing oneself in the Spirit Ascension Platform for a very long time.

Even someone as invincible as Xu Yuan, who can accumulate spiritual power at an extremely fast speed, would still need at least two months. For an average Soul Master, it would probably take two or three years to reach the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform.

The Ascension Platform is extremely resource-intensive and cannot be entered casually. The number of places available each year is limited, and even auctions don't guarantee a chance to participate.

It's fine to occasionally get a ticket at an auction, but if you try to monopolize the intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platform for two years through auctions, you're likely to offend an entire city's mid-to-high-level Soul Masters.

Only Xu Yuan could use internal channels; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to think of such a method to quickly overcome a bottleneck in his mental strength.

Tianhai City.

Xu family.

"Two months to reach the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, you really dare to dream," Xu Shengqun couldn't help but curse.

Even a Spirit Transmission Envoy cannot obtain a two-month pass to the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform without any burden, especially since the Soul Master who enters the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform also needs to harvest spiritual power on a large scale.

Using the same conversion ratio, Xu Yuan's consumption over these two months would be equivalent to at least one to two years for an ordinary Soul Master.

Of course, qualifications are one aspect, and resource consumption is another.

Fortunately, Xu Yuan only needed two months, instead of the two years that ordinary Soul Masters need.

First, take care of the time. As for the remaining resources, Xu Shengqun can make up for them himself when Xu Yuan's consumption becomes too high.

Actually, this resource doesn't need to be replenished.
