The Golden Pill of Vitality corresponds to the Golden Pill Ring, the Soul Power Heart Core corresponds to the Heart Core Ring, and the Spiritual Essence corresponds to the Essence Ring. To enhance the effects of these three, continuous sampling is required, recording the operational routes of various soul skills within soul rings, and summarizing them. Otherwise, they can only be used to replicate the energy circulation paths of one's original cultivation methods.
While this can improve cultivation efficiency, if it is just for this purpose, the functions of these three rings are greatly diminished.
The main reason for this is that Tang San lives in a very primitive era, where everything must start from scratch.
However, it is precisely because of this that Tang San is motivated.
After all, the things he researches himself bring a greater sense of achievement compared to just taking ready-made ones.
"This is quite good." Bibi Dong thought it was sufficient to enhance the efficiency of the circulation, transformation, and cycle of one's essence, energy, and spirit. As for the future... she felt she would have to delay breaking through the 100th level again.
As for Tang Chen of the Haotian Sect achieving the position of Shura God, it was indeed a hidden threat. But for now, if she and Tang San used their martial soul fusion skill, they should be able to handle the newly ascended Tang Chen, right?
After leaving the Pope's Palace, Tang San returned to the Soul Weapon Manor. Seeing that Xiao Wu, Lan Yinzi, and Zhu Zhuqing had not returned, he didn't mind and went straight to the forging room to complete the final forging of the second Soul Imprint Throne.
"What kind of forging is this?" Gu Yuena walked in, watching Tang San hammering the main body of the Soul Imprint Throne with the Haotian Hammer, and asked curiously.
"The material is entirely eight-pattern forged metal," Tang San replied without looking up as he continued hammering. "Once completed, it will become a true divine artifact."
The Soul Imprint Throne of Wisdom and Spirit used seven-pattern forged metal and was a semi-divine artifact. This one, made with eight-pattern forged metal, would undoubtedly be a divine artifact once completed.
However, its core cannot be made with subpar soul bones. It needs at least a hundred-thousand-year level soul bone or some unique metal or treasure.
Tang San currently had two materials that could serve as the core: the Life Gold and a ten-thousand-year-level Whale Pearl.
The Whale Pearl was slightly inferior, being the inner core of a ten-thousand-year-old whale-type soul beast. Though its energy was depleted, its shell remained intact and could be used as a core.
"A divine artifact!" Gu Yuena's eyes lit up, knowing the power of the Soul Imprint Throne of Wisdom and Spirit. She couldn't help but ask, "Can you give me this second one?"
"You'll have to wait. This one is for a friend," Tang San responded.
The first Soul Imprint Throne was given to the Spirit Hall for Hu Liena to use, essentially serving as Tang San's pledge of loyalty. The second one was meant for Electrolux.
Firstly, it was to thank him for his help and care over the years. Secondly, it was to enhance Electrolux's combat abilities. This divine artifact would enable him to manifest a physical form and aid Tang San in battles.
Why not use nine-pattern forged metal?
Tang San sensed with his primordial spirit that once nine-pattern forged metal is created, a heavenly tribulation would descend, comprising nine tribulations, each equivalent to a catastrophe faced by ferocious beasts.
Nine-pattern forged metal possesses true life. In this world, non-human life forms are considered "soul beasts" by the laws of heaven and earth. Unless they exist in special places (like the City of Slaughter), they drop soul rings upon death.
More importantly, forging nine-pattern metal would attract special attention from the God Realm. It was better to stay cautious to avoid unnecessary trouble.
At least, most gods in the God Realm, except for the Sea God, Shura God, and the Gods of Life and Destruction, should not pay much attention to the Douluo World.
Moreover, for gods to observe specific events in the mortal realm through the endless void, they need coordinates, such as major inheritance sites or divine domains, artifacts, or divine trials.
Otherwise, they can only send down a divine sense personally. For example, the God of Life sensed Tang San's life force and sent a sliver of divine sense to the mortal realm to investigate.
"A friend? Who?" Gu Yuena asked curiously, thinking it couldn't be Yu Tianheng or Dugu Yan. Could it be Bibi Dong? Speaking of that woman who was already very close to becoming a god, her aura had mingled with Tang San's... What a fickle man!
"Secret." Tang San finished the final touches on the Soul Imprint Throne, put away the Haotian Hammer, and brought his right index and middle fingers together, placing them on his forehead.
Buzz!
As his right hand left his forehead, a translucent short sword emerged from within.
This was the Dragon Pattern Silver Crystal Sword.
With Electrolux's help, the dragon pattern within was separated, becoming Tang San's third martial soul: the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. The remaining shell became a tool for Electrolux, used to store Xiao Wu's mother's soul and the souls and wraiths captured from the City of Slaughter.
Xiao Wu's mother's soul had already been placed by Tang San into the starry world within the Blue Silver Emperor's crown pearl, nurturing it in preparation for her resurrection.
The remaining wraiths were sorted and fused by Electrolux, sealed within the sword, becoming his summons.
This Silver Crystal Sword was an excellent energy core carrier.
Since it was originally a martial soul, now materialized, it had the properties of a divine artifact. Combining it with the Soul Imprint Throne would undoubtedly make it more powerful.
Tang San held the Silver Crystal Sword, embedding it into the core slot of the throne. The energy patterns on the throne began to circulate, merging the Silver Crystal Sword into a spherical gemstone, perfectly fitting atop it.
Boom!
Suddenly, dark clouds gathered over Spirit City, accompanied by a deafening thunderclap.
"Heavenly Tribulation!" Tang San sensed the violent energy in the heavens and realized the second Soul Imprint Throne was too powerful, alerting the rules of heaven and earth.
"Put it away!" Electrolux shouted. Together with Tang San, they wrapped the throne with soul power and spiritual power, storing it in Tang San's upper dantian.
After merging with the Silver Crystal Sword, the throne had acquired its characteristics. Being a divine artifact, it could now become intangible and enter Tang San's upper dantian, thus avoiding the heavenly tribulation.
In the Douluo Continent, the heavenly tribulation isn't a test from the heavens but an attempt to prevent non-human creatures from breaking through. Therefore, enduring the tribulation offers no real benefits.
As the throne's aura vanished, the dark clouds dissipated, disappearing without a trace—
"What was up with the weather? I thought it was going to rain."
"Maybe the Holy Son was cultivating a soul skill that influences the heavens."
"The Holy Son is truly amazing!"
"Perhaps the Holy Maiden developed some powerful soul tool."
Inside and outside Spirit City, people were curious and puzzled by the sudden weather change, but ultimately attributed it to Tang San cultivating a self-created soul skill or the Radiant's soul tool research...
