Soul Pond, Soul Pond!
It was to build a pond in the soul to make the soul many times stronger.
The Xuan Wu Realm opened up the energy channels. The Spirit Sea Realm condensed the Spirit Sea, which gave the warrior a foundation for cultivation. The Soul Pond Realm focused on cultivating the soul.
When the soul was strong, the warrior's six senses would be sharper and his fighting capacity would be enhanced.
Before the enemy made a move, the warrior would be able to tell the trajectory of the warrior's attack. He could react in advance and win the battle easily.
The body was the foundation of a warrior. Xuan Energy was the source of strength. But the soul was the most important thing for a warrior.
When the soul was strong, the warrior's thinking ability, deduction speed and power of understanding would be greatly enhanced, which would be of great help to the future cultivation.
The Xuan Wu Realm and the Spirit Sea Realm built the foundation, the Soul Pond Realm strengthened the soul, and the Fate Wheel Realm extended the warrior's life.
Only when the foundation was strong, the power of understanding was strong and the life of a warrior was prolonged, could the warrior reach higher realms and change his fate.
The cultivation realms were not randomly chosen. It was decided after hundreds of thousands of years that the forefathers had gone through many failures, painstaking efforts, and perfected it.
The highest buildings rose from the ground. To change one's fate, one must have a good foundation. One must cultivate step by step and climb up bit by bit.
Lu Li already knew how to reach the Soul Pond Realm. He had three high level pellets, the Holy Soul Pellet.
One of them was worth 500,000 Xuan Crystals. It was a very good auxiliary pellet for reaching the Soul Pond Realm.
Lu Li could not guarantee success just because he had the Holy Soul Pellet.
Patriarch Seven, Patriarch Nine and Patriarch Lu all tried to reach the Soul Pond Realm. Each of them consumed one Holy Soul Pellet, but they all failed.
The older a man was, the worse his bodily functions would be, and the harder it would be for him to make the breakthrough.
Lu Li was only 16 years old. The several patriarchs believed that Lu Li had a good chance of making the breakthrough, at least 80%.
Lu Li didn't take the Holy Soul Pellet. It was not the right time yet. The first step to reach the Soul Pond Realm was to build the Bridge of Spirit.
The Bridge of Spirit was the bridge connecting the Spirit Sea and the Soul Pond. To build the Soul Pond, a lot of Xuan Energy was needed. The Soul Pond could not be built out of nothing. It could only be built with Xuan Energy.
Without profound Xuan Energy, one could not build the Soul Pond. Therefore, only when one reached the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm could one build the Soul Pond.
The cultivation system of the Northern Desert had been modified and improved tens of thousands of times by the previous generations. Not a single mistake could be made.
Originally, Dark Force could flow from the meridians to the brain, but the speed was too slow. It needed to flow through many meridians before it could reach the brain.
But to build the Soul Pond, he needed to circulate his Xuan Energy quickly, and it had to be done in one go.
That was why the ancestors thought of forging the Divine Bridge, allowing the Xuan Energy to reach the brain directly.
The Divine Bridge was actually a special meridian, a major meridian that allowed Xuan Energy to reach directly into the brain.
Forcefully opening a meridian in the body would cause a martial artist to suffer unbearable pain. Once they could no longer endure it, the divine bridge would collapse and all their previous efforts would be wasted.
This was only the first step of building the Soul Pond. It was evident that it was not easy to reach the Soul Pond Realm. This was the reason why many warriors were stuck at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm for many years.
Lu Li took a high level pellet, which was designed to relieve pain. One pellet was worth 100,000 Xuan Crystals.
Ordinary warriors couldn't afford it at all. Even some of the Liu Family Elders didn't have the right to buy it, unless they had made great contributions to the family or had great potential.
With the pellet, Lu Li didn't have to endure the pain of his muscles being torn apart.
When the animal tooth pendant glowed, Lu Li immediately condensed his Xuan Energy and began to force his muscles open to build the Divine Bridge.
Even with the pellet and the animal tooth pendant, Lu Li still broke out in cold sweat due to the pain.
His willpower had always been strong. Before, he could build Spirit Sea without the pellet.
Therefore, this was not a big deal for him. He could handle it easily.
The building of the Divine Bridge was slow. After all, he had to break his muscles bit by bit, which was equivalent to building a new special meridian in his body.
The meridian could not collapse yet. It must be kept stable. At the very least, the Soul Pond must be built successfully, not to mention lasting.
Hunchback Tian gave Lu Li a secret method to build the Divine Bridge. Lu Li had learned it a long time ago. In less than half a day, he had built half of the Divine Bridge.
Lu Li took four of the pain-relieving pellets, which cost him 400,000 Xuan Crystals.
The 400,000 Xuan Crystals was only half of the Divine Bridge. Later on, he still had to build the Soul Pond. The pain-relieving pellets would cost nearly a million Xuan Crystals.
In addition to the Holy Soul Pellets, Lu Li would have to spend more than a million Xuan Crystals for each attempt at the Soul Pond Realm. The Xuan Crystals he had spent for two attempts was enough for him to try to reach the Fate Wheel Realm.
Lu Li was playing with Xuan Crystals. How could a small family do this?
The pain-relieving pellets of a small family would not be of such a high level. They might not be able to afford the Holy Soul Pellets. One attempt would cost more than 100,000 Xuan Crystals at most.
Lu Li was not in need of Xuan Crystals. Naturally, he would not let it go to waste.
He also wanted to get to the Soul Pond in one go. He didn't want to go through so much trouble, which would be a waste of time.
More than half a day later, the Divine Bridge was built. It went from the Spirit Sea to the brain, which could provide endless Xuan Energy to support the construction of the Soul Pond.
"Phew, phew ~"
After making sure that the Divine Bridge was stable, Lu Li opened his eyes and breathed heavily. Then he drank some water and collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
The construction of the Soul Pond must be done at one go. Lu Li needed enough physical strength and energy.
He closed his eyes and planned to rest for a couple of hours. After he rested, he would build the Soul Pond at one go.
Soon, he fell asleep. He even snored, which was rare for him. The rhythmic sound echoed in the room.
…
"Report!"
Lu Li had just fallen asleep for two hours when a scout rushed into the Blood Evil Fortress like a sharp sword. He knelt to Liu Yi and Patriarch Seven and said, "Family Patriarch, Patriarch Seven!
Patriarch Lu asked me to send you a message. There are seven battleships approaching the Blood Evil Island. The flag on the battleships is the Black Demon Army, a famous group of lake bandits at the northwest. Their leader, Mo Xi, is at the peak of the Soul Pond Realm.
The Black Demon Army has three warriors of the Soul Pond Realm and more than 40 warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm. Family Patriarch, Patriarch Seven, please be prepared. "
Liu Yi and Patriarch Seven looked at each other. They didn't panic too much.
The enemies came later than they had expected. The first batch of enemies was weaker than they had imagined.
"Ask Patriarch Lu to keep searching and report back!"
Liu Yi waved her hand and ordered. During this time, Liu Yi had matured a lot. She had the demeanor of a general.
Maybe she had been influenced by Lu Li for a long time. Liu Yi's expressions didn't change much after she heard the news.
Liu Yi's fighting capacity had been improved. She had reached the middle stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. Of course, it was not enough.
But nobody underestimated her. Behind her was Lu Li.
"Brother Nine, prepare for battle!"
Patriarch Seven shouted. Soon, Patriarch Nine's voice came from outside. Troops and powerful warriors were mobilized and acted according to the plan they had discussed.
For the past couple of days, Liu Yi, Patriarch Seven, Patriarch Nine and the other patriarchs had discussed for a long time. They had made various plans and strategies.
Lu Li was the master of the Blood Evil Island. Now that he had given the order to fight, Patriarch Seven and the others would not think too much about the consequences. They would fight a few battles first.
"Family Patriarch, I will take care of things here. You go to the Earth Dragon Island."
Patriarch Seven stood up and said to Liu Yi. Liu Yi nodded and walked out.
She would go to the Earth Dragon Island in exchange for Hunchback Tian. Without Hunchback Tian, it would be difficult to suppress warriors of the Soul Pond Realm of the Black Demon Army.
