"You can give it a try, but even if the sacrifice is completed as you say, our souls will still be very weak and enter a state of slumber."
Su Wen waved his hand, "That won't happen. I'm not going to do nothing. Since your souls are bound to my Spirit Ring, it's a special contract relationship with me, so I should be able to sense your existence."
He planned to fully sense the souls of the three Stone Monsters throughout the fusion process and not lose his perception of them.
Once the Spirit Ring fusion is complete, he will use his perception of the three souls to awaken them.
Carrying the three souls within the Spirit Ring might restore them slowly, but putting them in the Sea of Consciousness could be different.
Even without nurturing them with his own Spiritual Power, Su Wen could create a space in his Visualized World specifically suited for the three Stone Monsters, which would be enough to allow them to recover quickly and even continue self-cultivation and improvement.
Su Wen didn't expect he would have the opportunity to attempt creating such soul spirits.
Of course, the soul spirits here are different from the soul spirits he knows from later generations in terms of absorption methods, though they are similar in form.
"In the original work, I heard of a soul spirit that could provide multiple Spirit Rings, but I never thought there would be a Spirit Ring containing multiple soul spirits," Su Wen thought, feeling somewhat speechless.
One Spirit Ring actually needs to support three more meals.
The Stone God also invests.
The three Stone Monsters clearly hold an important status within the Stone Monster Tribe; they are among the earliest individuals created by the Stone God, and their close relationship makes having them as Su Wen's soul spirits a huge gain.
Stone Divine Realm.
Blood-red light illuminated the world, with three Spirit Rings overlapping, their crimson glow spreading.
Earth attribute Spirit Beasts lay on the ground, not daring to be reckless.
As the three Stone Monsters made their sacrifice, the remaining Stone Monsters awakened one after another, guarding Su Wen and his three companions around the Stone God Pillar.
The sacrifice of the three elders reduced the power of the remaining Stone Monsters, but they were still at the level of a hundred thousand years and maintained an absolute dominant status in this Stone Divine Realm.
The blood-red halo of the three overlapping Spirit Rings fell upon Su Wen.
The halo shattered and fused into Su Wen's body.
Ring Replacement Method!
Su Wen used the Ring Replacement Method to absorb the three Spirit Rings, and they arranged themselves outside his body.
Purple, black, red, black, black, black.
The colors of the six Spirit Rings caused Ning Rongrong and the others to involuntarily gulp.
This isn't someone with a twin Martial Spirit.
It's a single Martial Spirit!
Seeing Su Wen's Spirit Ring combination, Dugu Bo nodded thoughtfully, finally understanding Su Wen's abnormal ability to fight above his level.
Before the finals of the Spirit Master Competition, Su Wen's Spirit Ring had already evolved once. With the purple-black-black-black-black combination of Spirit Rings, plus his self-created Spirit Skill, it now seems more reasonable that he could unleash power at the level of a Spirit Douluo.
Especially with four 10,000-year-old Spirit Rings combined with the Ring Explosion Secret Technique, as long as he could withstand it, even a Super Douluo would see a significant boost in combat power, not to mention any Spirit Masters below Titled Douluo.
The blood-red third Spirit Ring stabilized, radiating terrifying waves. Within the red Spirit Ring, strands of golden patterns began to spread, gradually forming a complete circle of golden lines across the entire ring.
Su Wen opened his eyes, feeling the fluctuations of Soul Power within his body, and let out a light sigh.
Fortunately, he had only increased by one level.
He needed to complete Spirit Core Condensation before reaching level seventy, and when he arrived at the Stone Divine Realm, he was at level sixty-eight. With the sacrifice of the three Stone Monsters, the boost he received was equivalent to absorbing a 100,000-year-old Spirit Ring. He was concerned that he might suddenly break through to level seventy.
It seems he was worried for nothing.
He had only advanced to level sixty-nine.
The sacrifices of the three Stone Monsters not only did not dilute the quality of his Soul Power but actually improved it, making it even better than achieving level sixty-nine through the compression of Soul Power.
"With the current quality of my Soul Power, Condensing the Spirit Core should be imminent."
Once he forms the first Spirit Core, Su Wen would directly break through to level seventy and then consider obtaining the seventh Spirit Ring to become a Spirit Saint.
Eighteen years old, Spirit Saint!
Su Wen sensed his Third Spirit Ring, infusing his Spiritual Power into it, and drew out the three soul bodies.
The spiritual state of the three Stone Monsters was not bad but could be better. They could not detach themselves from the Spirit Ring, but after Su Wen pulled them out, there was no risk of them dissipating.
"Enter my Sea of Consciousness. I have reserved a space for you in my Visualized World."
The three Stone Monsters nodded and entered Su Wen's Sea of Consciousness, embedding themselves into the space of rocks within the Visualized World, blending into the rocks and becoming silent.
Su Wen sensed their condition and was immediately speechless.
This...
"Why do I feel like, even if I don't help them recover and let their souls remain dormant in the Spirit Ring after the sacrifice, they wouldn't have any objections?"
Recalling the habits of the Stone Monsters and their previous state in the Stone Divine Realm, Su Wen's mouth twitched.
With the sacrifice of the three Stone Monsters, the Third Spirit Ring reached 100,000 years, and the third trial of the God-level Nine Trials was also completed.
"God-level Nine Trials, third trial: Upgrade a Spirit Ring to at least one 100,000-year-old Spirit Ring of the same type to complete. Reward: Power of Faith affinity."
Su Wen heard the notification for passing the God-level Nine Trials in his mind.
Within the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, a large amount of Sea God's Power of Faith surged out.
Su Wen wasn't surprised by this.
Before leaving Sea God Island, or more precisely, at the same time the third trial was announced, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud absorbed a substantial amount of Power of Faith right in front of Su Wen, without any secret storage.
The Sea God's Power of Faith surged out, transforming into divine power.
This time, the transformation of Power of Faith into divine power occurred directly within Su Wen's body, making the sensation even more vivid.
"Sea God really doesn't miss a single loophole in the rules."
He was testing the edges of the rules madly.
However, as a beneficiary, Su Wen hoped the Sea God wouldn't fail.
It would be best if these tests came a few more times.
The Sea God's divine power circulated within Su Wen's body.
Last time it was Divine Power Body Tempering, but this time the Sea God's divine power was not used to temper Su Wen's physique.
Su Wen could clearly feel that the Sea God's divine power was merging with his body.
As the divine power integrated, his body seemed to undergo a subtle essential elevation.
If compared, it could be seen as the change in elemental affinity Su Wen experienced when absorbing Spirit Rings in the past.
Only this time, the changes in Su Wen's body were rarer and more precious.
As the divine power merged into his body, Su Wen felt that the faith he could previously only sense was now gradually becoming tangible.
