Chapter 275: Unmatched Among Peers!
The ninth floor of the Soul Tower retained the same cosmic starry sky setting as always.
Upon arriving, Zhu Zhuqing saw a floating portal appear before her. She skillfully pushed it open and stepped inside. The seclusion chamber here was identical to those on the lower floors completely empty except for a single meditation cushion.
In reality, the nine levels of the Soul Tower were actually part of a single space, merely divided into sections. The cosmic background was just an illusion not a real universe but rather a unique pocket dimension.
Although Ye Cheng had yet to gain the ability to create entire worlds, he could open up his own independent spaces.
This Soul Tower was formed using a portion of the divine power from his artifact, the Ten Directions Glazed Tower.
The tower structure visible outside was just a façade the true core of the Soul Tower was the artifact itself.
Thus, the Soul Tower's many powerful functions all stemmed from the divine abilities of the artifact.
Before becoming a god, Ye Cheng's Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda was already the most powerful auxiliary martial soul in the world.
But after ascending to godhood, its abilities received an unparalleled boost, evolving into a multi functional divine artifact.
Right now, the Soul Tower's capabilities were only a small fraction of what the Ten Directions Glazed Tower could actually do.
After entering the chamber, Zhu Zhuqing gently closed the door behind her.
There was no need to worry about disturbances no sound could be transmitted inside, and the door couldn't be broken from the outside. Only the occupant could open it.
She calmly sat down on the meditation cushion, adopting the five heart to the sky posture for cultivation.
With closed eyes, she focused inward, examining her own body.
Inside her, two Soul Cores were already present one in her lower dantian (abdomen) and another in her middle dantian (chest).
These cores had formed naturally after training in Ye Cheng's personal technique, Innate Art.
The second Soul Core had appeared when she broke through to the Soul Sage level.
And now, her next step was to condense a third Soul Core which would allow her to break through to Titled Douluo!
Innate Art was an insanely overpowered technique.
Because of it, Zhu Zhuqing could cultivate constantly, whether she was walking, sitting, or sleeping.
Her two Soul Cores endlessly absorbed and refined energy, making her progress incredibly fast.
Once the second Soul Core formed, her cultivation speed exploded even further.
That's how she had reached this level before even turning twenty years old!
Of course, besides the Innate Art, she also benefited from devouring the core of the Dark Devilgod Tiger which completely transformed her talent, giving her god king level potential.
This was why she had been able to reach this stage so quickly.
Right now, Zhu Zhuqing was unrivaled among her peers.
Once she became a Titled Douluo, she would be practically invincible at the same level.
Even against Ultimate Douluos, she might not lose!
Her cultivation technique, her talent, her combat skills, and her teacher everything she possessed was at the absolute pinnacle.
If she couldn't dominate her peers with all of this, then she might as well find a piece of tofu and smash her head against it.
Sitting still, Zhu Zhuqing felt a pillar of light descend from the void above, enveloping her completely.
Her mind became crystal clear.
Her thoughts flowed like lightning, and her comprehension ability soared.
Endless energy surged toward her, submerging her in an ocean of raw power.
Her body absorbed it all effortlessly.
Innate Art was also known as "The Method for Condensing Three Soul Cores."
As the name implied, this technique allowed a cultivator to form three Soul Cores one in each of the three dantian points in the human body.
The lower dantian (abdomen) contained the Soul Power Core, responsible for purifying and refining her energy.
The middle dantian (chest) contained the Body Core, which continuously honed her physical form, strengthening it to handle greater energy loads.
Now, it was time to condense the upper dantian core (forehead), which governed spiritual and soul power.
Once all three Soul Cores were fully formed, Zhu Zhuqing's spiritual strength, mental control, and overall power would skyrocket!
These three aspects energy, body, and soul were the foundation of all beings.
Once they were perfected, she would be guaranteed to reach godhood, even without the Dark Devilgod Tiger's core.
That was how terrifyingly powerful Innate Art truly was.
The upper dantian, located at the forehead's center, was the hardest to form.
It was dangerously close to the brain, making it the most high risk of the three.
That's why it had to be left for last to ensure that the cultivator's power and mental strength were high enough to handle it safely.
A single mistake could result in catastrophic consequences.
If mental power went berserk, it could damage the brain permanently.
At best, she'd become a vegetable.
At worst, her soul would shatter, leaving behind a lifeless husk.
That's why Zhu Zhuqing had chosen the Soul Tower to complete this step it provided additional protection, minimizing risks.
She steadied her breathing and carefully followed the instructions of Innate Art.
Bit by bit, she began channeling her mental energy toward her upper dantian.
The process had to be slow and steady one wrong move, and she could suffer permanent brain damage.
Gradually, wisps of spiritual energy flowed to her forehead, gathering layer by layer.
With the experience of forming her first two Soul Cores, Zhu Zhuqing wasn't nervous at all.
She maintained a steady rhythm, steadily depleting her mental energy, as the third Soul Core slowly took shape.
Everything proceeded smoothly.
After some time
BOOM!
A thunderous explosion echoed inside her mind.
It was as if a new world had been born within her consciousness!
At the same time
Her soul power surged past level 90!
Eight soul rings floated around her body.
And then
A ninth soul ring rapidly formed in the void!
She had officially become a Titled Douluo!
