In Su Yu's perception, the positions of the first six spirit rings resembled six directions, while the seventh spirit ring appeared to be the core.
With the core in place, the seven spirit rings formed a cohesive whole, achieving synergy.
Since this spirit ring was self-condensed, Su Yu's spirit power only increased slightly, reaching level seventy-three.
The slow cultivation caused by his extreme attributes persisted from level thirty to seventy, but after surpassing level seventy, his cultivation speed began to outpace that of ordinary spirit masters.
At a glance, a 200,000-year-old spirit ring bringing only a three-level boost seemed a bit underwhelming.
Indeed, his seventh spirit ring was 200,000 years old.
Within the Sunset Forest, with the aid of Blue Silver Grass and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Su Yu condensed a 200,000-year-old spirit ring.
However, unlike other spirit rings, this one could continue to grow as Su Yu advanced.
The seventh spirit ring, rooted in his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, drew its spirituality from Su Yu himself.
This spirituality was closely tied to his mental strength, allowing the ring to grow stronger as his mental strength increased.
For this ring, 200,000 years was merely the starting point.
That said, Su Yu could only condense one self-made spirit ring. He couldn't afford to waste a spirit ring slot merely for convenience in breaking through.
Had this seventh spirit ring not been so unique, Su Yu wouldn't have risked creating it himself, even knowing it was possible.
He believed that while this spirit ring deprived him of the life attribute transformation from an external spirit beast, its benefits would not let him down.
And indeed, he was right.
Feeling the six directions converging onto a single core, completing the enhancement of his martial soul in the most direct way, Su Yu knew he had made the right choice.
If he had chosen a different spirit ring, the synergy between the seven rings, with the seventh as the core, would not have delivered the same results.
The seventh spirit ring represented himself, forming the foundation of unity.
Su Yu fell into a state of epiphany, entering deep meditation.
Unity!
The seventh spirit ring, as the core, occupied the central position, with the first six rings filling the six directions. But where should the eighth spirit ring go? And the ninth?
Su Yu pondered this question.
Perhaps, like the condensation of a spirit core, there were two possible approaches for the placement of the eighth and ninth spirit rings.
One approach was to layer them onto the seventh spirit ring, allowing all three to enjoy the core's treatment.
The other required Su Yu to think imaginatively and consider higher-dimensional possibilities.
The three-dimensional framework was complete, but he could expand into the spatial dimension in two directions.
Through this linkage, a spirit master could surpass the essence of three-dimensional life.
But how could spirit rings spread across three dimensions be unified?
*Spirit Core!*
The condensation of three spirit cores was the foundation of godhood.
Thus, if the seventh, eighth, and ninth spirit rings corresponded to three spirit cores, could these rings also be unified?
Su Yu believed it was possible.
The existing theories in the Douluo Continent didn't include any hypotheses about the placement of three spirit rings.
They only addressed the differing methods of condensing spirit cores.
Perhaps:
"Synchronizing resonance might be simpler, but it could result in the final three spirit rings forming a nested arrangement."
Alternatively, the arrangement could be more scattered.
Su Yu's envisioned model was ideal, but that didn't necessarily mean it had to be so.
"Condensing a spirit core at level seventy clearly has its rationale."
The seventh spirit ring corresponded to the first spirit core. Upon absorbing the eighth spirit ring, it might initially remain in a floating state.
Before level ninety, condensing the second spirit core would stabilize its connection.
Similarly, the ninth spirit ring would be anchored by the third spirit core before level ninety-nine.
This triad would form a complete system.
"."
In deep meditation, Su Yu's mental strength advanced rapidly, though his spirit power showed little noticeable improvement.
As sparks of inspiration collided, Su Yu developed one theory after another. He referenced classical texts, conducted logical analyses, and validated his ideas against reality.
Time passed, and three days went by.
Su Yu opened his eyes, his gaze complex and thoughtful.
Over the past three days, he had devoted himself to analyzing the intricate relationship between spirit rings and spirit cores.
Ultimately, his thoughts converged on one concept: *godhood*.
If three spirit rings and three spirit cores could serve as anchor points in different dimensions, forming a stable triangular structure, a spirit master could use this foundation to transcend their limits, potentially surpass level 100 and achieve godhood.
From his perspective, this approach rendered the concept of a divine position less significant.
In Su Yu's understanding, a divine position's role was merely to assist a spirit master in transcending to a higher dimension. After a period of cultivation and adjustment to this realm, the divine position would no longer be necessary as a support.
If his theory was correct, one could bypass the adaptation phase of a divine position, achieving self-transcendence and self-deification directly.
However, this line of thinking had a notable flaw: it couldn't account for the existence of twin martial souls.
How would the relationship between two martial souls fit into this framework?
Su Yu refined his theory to this extent before halting his deep meditation.
"I still need more experiences and understanding," he murmured.
His exceptional perception sometimes led him to comprehend processes he hadn't personally experienced or felt.
Su Yu continued cultivating in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
This time, his focus was on increasing the age of his spirit rings.
He knew he couldn't stay in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well forever. Therefore, he intended to seize the opportunity to use the abundant spiritual energy there to enhance the age of his first two spirit rings to 10,000 years.
Electrolux had once explained to him that a spirit master's comprehension of their spirit abilities required a medium, and the spirit ring was the best vessel for storing such insights.
The amount of comprehension a spirit ring could hold depended on its age, making it essential to increase the rings' years.
Su Yu had already discovered three methods to enhance a spirit ring's age: nurturing with spiritual energy, absorbing external spiritual essence, and utilizing the power of faith.
The second method was too destructive and went against his principles, so he refrained from trying it. However, the first and third methods were feasible for him.
For now, gathering faith would take time. Thus, Su Yu focused on nurturing his spirit rings using the spiritual energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Fortunately, my past efforts inadvertently established several useful projects," he mused.
These accomplishments could later serve as a foundation for harvesting faith.
