In the resplendent Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong sat elegantly on the exquisite Pope's throne, a slight smile on her lips as she gazed at Tang San, brought in by Hu Liena. She asked, "Have you returned from your soul hunting?"
"Yes, Your Holiness," Tang San replied. He released the Blue Silver Emperor, and six soul rings—yellow, purple, purple, black, red, and red—appeared in sequence. The sixth ring was especially notable with cloud patterns and two gold lines.
"Why are your hundred-thousand-year soul rings so spectacular?" Hu Liena, emboldened by the intimate setting with only the Pope, Holy Son, and Holy Maiden present, asked curiously.
"Perhaps it's because the soul beasts that sacrificed themselves to me were unique, combined with my extensive research on cultivation and the excess vitality of the Blue Silver Emperor spirit," Tang San explained. He then released Lingyun and introduced her to Bibi Dong and Hu Liena. "This is the plant spirit beast, the Cloud Tree, which sacrificed itself for my sixth soul ring. Hu Liena, you might remember it from the White Cloud Forest where we hunted the Blood Sword Norman."
Lingyun, a bit shy, greeted them, "Hello, I'm Lingyun. The Valley Lord gave me this name."
"So it was that Cloud Tree," Hu Liena realized.
"How many years has this soul ring cultivated?" Bibi Dong asked with interest.
"Two hundred thousand years," Tang San replied, detailing the two soul skills it granted him. "More importantly, my Blue Silver Emperor has gained a trace of creative power. It can materialize and create a fantastical starry world. I plan to plant my spirit within and around Spirit City, with your permission."
Having experienced the illusory star world, Bibi Dong understood much. She realized that the Blue Silver Emperor's roots could potentially cover the entire Douluo Continent.
Once this coverage was complete, Tang San could project his mental image anywhere via the Blue Silver Emperor. If handled well, in the near future, Spirit Hall could control all the continent's information through this ability.
A terrifying power indeed!
"Permission granted," Bibi Dong nodded. "Special green zones will be established inside and outside Spirit City for planting your Blue Silver Emperor spirit."
"Thank you, Your Holiness," Tang San bowed.
Bibi Dong then motioned for Hu Liena to leave and slowly rose from her throne, walking towards Tang San. "You know, you've kept me quite busy these past two years, leaving little time for my own cultivation."
"You're too kind, Your Holiness. Soul masters have limited time for daily soul power cultivation. Beyond that, our meridians become sore, so we must use our time wisely for other pursuits without waste," Tang San responded earnestly, unfazed by the faint fragrance emanating from Bibi Dong. "If there's nothing else, may I take my leave?"
"Why? Are you nervous being alone with me?" Bibi Dong chuckled.
"Not at all. I simply have a very full schedule each day," Tang San replied calmly. "You know, I'm quite a dull person."
Bibi Dong was momentarily speechless.
"Uninteresting?" If that were true, he wouldn't have so many powerful female soul masters attracted to him.
"Alright, let's get down to business," Bibi Dong said, cutting off her irrelevant thoughts and adopting a serious expression. "I've been considering your theories on cultivating qi, soul power, and spirit for two years now. I've tried not relying on soul skills for conversion and found it does indeed enhance oneself, but there are still areas I don't fully understand."
Tang San raised an eyebrow and asked calmly, "So?"
"So, I want to assist in your cultivation experiments for a while," Bibi Dong said, meeting Tang San's gaze directly. "We both have twin spirits. In return, I can share the key points of cultivating twin spirits with you. What do you think?"
"The key to cultivating twin spirits lies in converting soul power with different attributes between the two spirits, right?" Tang San stated his understanding of twin spirit cultivation.
Bibi Dong showed a look of appreciation and nodded. "Exactly. The key is in the conversion. However, I have a more refined method that might inspire you."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong released her first spirit: the Death Spider Emperor.
Instantly, her upper body was covered in a layer of purple-black armor, even her face was shielded by a chitinous mask. Below her eyes, four additional small eyes appeared. Her legs disappeared, and her abdomen transformed into a large, spherical body, sprouting eight thick legs covered in green fur.
"This is my first spirit, the Death Spider Emperor." Due to the spirit possession, Bibi Dong's height reached nearly three meters, towering over Tang San. "It's quite hideous, isn't it? Normally, I don't use my spirit. I rely on my abundant soul power and physical skills to crush my enemies."
"Well, I think it has a certain unique beauty," Tang San remarked, finding Bibi Dong's form somewhat similar to Kumoko from "So I'm a Spider, So What?", though with different colors. Kumoko was white and pink, while Bibi Dong was purple, black, and green, exuding a more majestic aura with her armor.
Bibi Dong was momentarily stunned. She had intended to intimidate Tang San but didn't expect him to find her form impressive. Is his sense of aesthetics off? But looking at Xiao Wu, Guang Ling, Huo Wu, and Ning Rongrong—all of them are beauties, even Guang Ling, though slightly less stunning, is still very attractive.
"And this is my second spirit: the Soul-Eating Spider Emperor." Regaining her composure, Bibi Dong switched to her second spirit's possession state.
She returned to a humanoid form, her forehead adorned with dark green spider web patterns. A crystalline green light spread from her body, and three pairs of green spider legs emerged from her back. Her arms transformed into green spears, and her lower body was enveloped in a green glow, resembling a battle skirt.
"This one is more conventional. Also, I sense a power beyond soul force—this must be the Rakshasa God's inheritance, primarily carried by this second spirit, correct?" Tang San assessed Bibi Dong's Soul-Eating Spider Emperor state and inquired about the Rakshasa God's inheritance.
"Indeed," Bibi Dong marveled at Tang San's strong spiritual power, able to detect divine energy. "But now isn't the time to discuss that. Did you understand how I switch between my spirits?"
"Yes, I did," Tang San squinted. "It's not just the conversion of soul power attributes. Even with similar characteristics like death and soul-eating, such quick transitions aren't possible..."
After all, Bibi Dong didn't have the neutral and balanced internal technique like Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill to harmonize the different energy attributes between the two spirits.
So.
Bibi Dong discovered another excellent method for cultivating twin spirits—
The Dual-Core Meditation Technique!
