Chapter 81: Soul Core Cultivation Method
🕑 Added 2025-03-10 10:06:01 +0000 UTCIn fact, the technique that Ye Cheng taught Zhu Zhuqing should be called “Three Methods of Soul Core Cultivation and Condensation” if it is called in a simple and easy-to-understand way!
That’s right, the key to this so-called “Innate Meditation Technique” that allows soul masters to be in a state of cultivation at all times lies in the soul core.
What is a soul core?
The soul core is actually a concept that only appeared in the Douluo II, III and IV periods tens of thousands of years later.
Soul masters of that period were able to form a soul core in their bodies by compressing their soul power.
This kind of soul core has many functions. It can not only prolong the life of the soul master’s martial soul, but also make the soul master’s control of energy more handy and make the soul power stronger. With the formation of the soul core, even if the soul master does not meditate and practice, he can naturally attract the energy between heaven and earth to merge into his body, which is equivalent to being in a state of practice all the time. In layman’s terms, this is the so-called on-hook practice.
Of course, after having a soul core, it does not mean that the soul master does not need to practice anymore. Although the soul core can automatically absorb external energy for practice, if the soul master himself actively practices at this time, the soul core will absorb energy faster. Therefore, the efficiency will be higher!
Therefore, practice is still necessary, otherwise the efficiency will be somewhat low if the soul core only absorbs and operates instinctively.
The Innate Meditation Technique that Ye Cheng taught Zhu Zhuqing was naturally different from the traditional Douluo soul core condensation method. If it was a normal soul core condensation, she would have to have at least six rings of cultivation before she could start trying to condense a soul core. Because the total amount of soul power in her body at this stage was too little, there was no way to form a soul core.
In addition, this process of forcibly compressing the soul power in the body will inevitably cause great pressure on the body, which requires the soul master to refine the body. This is difficult to achieve when the level is low, so generally at least six rings of cultivation are required before one can begin to try to condense the soul core.
But Ye Cheng’s so-called Innate Meditation Technique is different. It uses an extremely mysterious method to cleverly allow soul masters to avoid the negative effects of compressed soul power, allowing soul masters to condense a soul core in their bodies at a very low level.
Isn’t this much better than the crude and simple method of condensing soul cores that traditional soul masters use without any technical content?
And in the future, as her cultivation level deepens, Zhu Zhuqing will be able to condense three soul cores naturally in her body without having to go through many adventures and risks like Huo Gua in the original novel!
That is, in the so-called upper dantian, middle dantian, and lower dantian. A soul core is condensed in each dantian!
As the “founder” of this technique, Ye Cheng, according to the setting, has undoubtedly condensed a soul core in each of the three dantians in his body.
The existence of these three soul cores allowed him to constantly increase his soul power and mental strength even if he did not practice, especially the use of his twin martial souls. Not only could he use the soul skills of two martial souls at the same time, he could even fuse the two martial souls to form his own martial soul fusion skills!
It’s just that because he was so invincible, no one could force him to use these big moves.
…
“Zhuqing, don’t be nervous next time.” Ye Cheng said as he summoned out his Nine Treasures Glazed Tower.
At this time, Zhu Zhuqing was sitting cross-legged on a large bluestone, while Ye Cheng, her teacher and protector, was sitting behind her, ready to help her in her practice of condensing her soul core.
“Teacher, I’m ready!”
Taking a deep breath and suppressing her fluctuating emotions, Zhu Zhuqing was finally ready.
“Then let’s get started!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower in Ye Cheng’s hand emitted a brilliant light, covering Zhu Zhuqing… and Zhu Zhuqing, who was covered by the light, felt that her originally nervous and uneasy mood gradually calmed down.
Slowly closing his eyes, Zhu Zhuqing turned his consciousness back to his body, silently recalling the specific essence of the technique… and began to prepare to condense the soul core!
First, he needed to gather the soul power of his whole body to the dantian in his abdomen, and then continuously compress it!
The first soul core was the lower dantian in his abdomen.
This is the foundation of cultivation.
As for the middle dantian, it is the middle part of the chest, and the upper dantian is the center of the eyebrows. These are too far away for her, so it is better not to mention them for the time being.
In order to condense into a soul core, the soul master’s soul power must first meet the standard. Starting from level 10, the quality of the soul power in the soul master’s body will gradually improve with each level increase… equivalent to the transformation from gas to liquid and solid.
Generally speaking, if a soul master practices normally and reaches the level of Titled Douluo, the soul power in his body can become solid. The minimum requirement for soul core condensation is solid state, which means that if you want to condense a soul core, you must at least be a Titled Douluo.
But this only refers to the most primitive and stupid method, and Innate Meditation Technique does not use this trick. Zhu Zhuqing silently mobilized the soul power in her body according to the operation route of Innate Meditation Technique, and began to wander in the meridians of her body in a unique pattern… a little bit of soul power wandered, like a stream, and finally all the streams returned to the source.
Gather in Dantian!
When the first trace of soul power arrived at Dantian, with this trace of soul power as the center, soul power continued to gather from all directions, wrapping, entangled, condensed, and merged…
This trace of soul power, which was originally in gaseous form, and the soul power that kept coming in, began to change. Just like when more clouds and mist become dew, these accumulated soul powers slowly changed from gaseous to liquid.
But this is far from enough.
Zhu Zhuqing continued to circulate her soul power, constantly gathering it towards the center of her dantian. At the same time, her body was constantly absorbing the energy of heaven and earth from the outside world to make up for her own consumption.
Sensing this situation, Ye Cheng did not hesitate to directly use the pure soul power in his body through the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower in his hand, remove his own mark, and restore it to pure ownerless energy, and then dilute the concentration through light before finally infusing it into her!
If Zhu Zhuqing was allowed to absorb external energy by herself, even if she absorbed it for three months without sleep, she might not be able to meet the soul power required to condense the soul core. So at this time, he, as a master, needed to help.
Thanks to Ye Cheng’s selfless dedication.
Zhu Zhuqing’s process of absorbing and transforming soul power suddenly became more than a thousand times faster. The endless soul power continued to gather in Dantian… Focus a little!
Finally, that little bit of liquid soul power was transformed into a solid state! It was like water freezing into ice.
At this point, the originally transparent and colorless soul power has turned into a rich milky white color, just like solidified milk.
What Zhu Zhuqing had to do next was to compress the solid soul power again and give it new attributes!
Spin it!
She whispered in her heart.
Slowly, the soul power that condensed into a solid state began to rotate…
Under the control of her mind, the solid soul power began to rotate with the center as the point! It spun faster and faster, and finally formed a vortex like a black hole!
A terrifying suction force was formed.
In an instant, countless soul powers swarmed into the Dantian!
The black hole accepted everything and absorbed the energy crazily!
Zhu Zhuqing even had the illusion that even her soul was being sucked away.
Outside, Ye Cheng felt that Zhu Zhuqing’s speed of absorbing soul power suddenly increased several times, and realized that she was about to succeed. He quickly increased the infusion of soul power!
The surging soul power was transformed into ownerless energy as if it was free, and poured into her through the light emitted by the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower!
After some time.
The solid soul power that was originally spinning wildly in the Dantian suddenly vibrated slightly. At this moment, the solid soul power that had been spinning rapidly actually stopped. From extreme movement to extreme stillness, the feeling was simply too abrupt.
The next moment, Zhu Zhuqing felt that everything around her became blurred, and the solid soul power that had stopped rotating had completely turned into a black hole vortex.
Just by taking a glance, Zhu Zhuqing felt as if her soul was being sucked in. There was endless darkness and endless unknowns in the black hole vortex, and she couldn’t sense what secrets were inside.
However, he could clearly feel a bridge-like connection between himself and the black hole vortex.
At this time, around the black hole, a trace of gray ripples continued to ripple. These gray ripples gradually condensed, and Zhu Zhuqing was surprised to find that these gray light patterns finally formed a bead!
With this bead as the center, it was surrounded by a black vortex!
Is this my soul core?
