Chapter 124: Bo Saixi's Admiration, Yun Yuan's Peerless Talent
"What terrifying soul power! Its fluctuations are very similar to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's."
After sensing Yun Yuan's soul power, Bo Saixi felt both astonishment and confusion.
"Do you feel confused about why the quality of my soul power is far stronger than yours?"
Facing Yun Yuan's question, Bo Saixi nodded and looked at him expectantly, wanting to hear his explanation.
The soul power fluctuations from Yun Yuan and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King were extremely similar. Could it be that there was actually a method that could improve soul power quality?
"The reason my soul power is far stronger than yours is because I've already condensed yin-yang harmony dual soul cores."
"Soul cores first appeared in soul beasts. Generally speaking, all hundred-thousand-year soul beasts possess a soul core within their bodies, while powerful fierce beasts even possess yin-yang harmony dual soul cores like mine."
"If my guess is correct, then that Deep Sea Demonic Whale King in the ocean, which is approaching a million-year limit, has most likely also condensed yin-yang harmony dual soul cores."
Yun Yuan explained to Bo Saixi. By displaying the power of soul cores this time, he intended to pass down the soul core method to Bo Saixi and the Titled Douluo of Sea God Island.
After all, he was now an orthodox Sea God inheritor beyond question. If he truly wished to become the Sea God, all he needed to do was say a word to the Sea God. Within less than a year, he could complete the Sea God Nine Trials and ascend directly to godhood.
As the inheritance faction of the Sea God, Sea God Island was naturally the faction closest to Yun Yuan. Even the Pill Hall could not compare to Sea God Island's loyalty toward him.
Listening to Yun Yuan's explanation, Bo Saixi could not help but feel shocked by Yun Yuan's brilliance. A trace of admiration appeared within her beautiful eyes.
In Bo Saixi's view, talent and brilliance were two entirely different things. For example, she herself was a soul master with extraordinary talent, but in terms of brilliance, while she was still excellent, she was far inferior to her natural talent.
As for Yun Yuan, in her eyes, his talent was simply unprecedented throughout eternity. Otherwise, the Sea God would never have directly ignored the divine trial rules of Sea God Island and personally bestowed the Sea God Nine Trials upon him.
But now, she discovered that Yun Yuan's brilliance was actually no weaker than his talent. Once this dual soul core method spread among the Titled Douluo, it would massively increase their combat strength.
"Then, Lord Inheritor, your meaning is…"
At this moment, Bo Saixi had officially acknowledged Yun Yuan as the inheritor, and even the way she addressed him had changed.
"I wish to pass down the soul core method to all soul masters above the Titled Douluo level on Sea God Island. In the future, I'll also help you condense yin-yang dual soul cores, allowing your strength to rise to another level."
Yun Yuan's answer caused Bo Saixi to slightly bow as she expressed gratitude and respect toward him.
"Many thanks for Lord Inheritor's generosity. Here, Bo Saixi offers thanks on behalf of all the Titled Douluo of Sea God Island as well as all future members of Sea God Island."
"No need. After all, Sea God Island is more or less my faction as well. I treat my own people very well."
At this point, Yun Yuan suddenly changed the topic and looked toward Bo Saixi.
"Right, let me teach you how to condense the first soul core now. With your Limit Douluo strength combined with my guidance, condensing the first soul core will be effortless."
"After condensing the first soul core, the quality of your soul power will improve somewhat, your soul power recovery speed will greatly increase, and your sustained combat ability will strengthen significantly."
"At that point, hunting the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King will become much easier."
Immediately afterward, Bo Saixi led Yun Yuan to a side hall within the Sea God Hall used for cultivation.
The two sat cross-legged, facing one another, as Yun Yuan seriously explained to Bo Saixi the process of condensing the first soul core and the things she needed to pay attention to.
Yun Yuan had already condensed his first soul core several years ago. Thanks to his familiarity with it, he had even created a simpler and safer method of condensation.
Perhaps after a few more years, once Yun Yuan became fully familiar with yin-yang harmony dual soul cores, he might even create an even simpler and safer method for condensing them.
Bo Saixi listened attentively to Yun Yuan's explanations. Although she was the High Priestess and Yun Yuan was the inheritor, at this moment, she resembled a student facing a teacher.
During this time, Yun Yuan also planned out the attribute of Bo Saixi's first soul core. The first soul core was closely tied to the second soul core.
If one wanted to condense yin-yang harmony dual soul cores in the future, then they first had to possess opposing yin-yang attributes. Therefore, the first soul core could not be casually condensed.
Yun Yuan's plan for Bo Saixi's first soul core was to first condense a supreme yin ocean soul core within the middle dantian at her chest.
As for the second soul core, it would be the same as his own: a supreme yang spiritual soul core condensed within the upper dantian between the eyebrows. Finally, yin and yang would clash against each other, allowing her to pass the yin-yang tribulation and achieve yin-yang harmony dual soul cores.
Several hours later.
Within the side hall where Yun Yuan and Bo Saixi were located, Bo Saixi officially began condensing her first soul core.
With her demigod-level spiritual power, as long as she understood the process of condensing the first soul core, there was practically no danger whatsoever.
Sure enough, half an hour later, the aura of soul power around Bo Saixi began to rise. This represented that she had successfully condensed her first supreme yin ocean soul core.
"Congratulations, High Priestess."
Seeing Bo Saixi succeed, Yun Yuan congratulated her with a faint smile.
"Mm, thank you, Lord Inheritor."
"However, Lord Inheritor, I do have a name. In the future, you may simply call me Bo Saixi."
Hearing this, Yun Yuan nodded, then instinctively praised her.
"Bo Saixi? That's quite a pleasant name."
But immediately afterward, he changed the topic while looking toward Bo Saixi. Their gazes met in midair, but Bo Saixi unconsciously withdrew her eyes first.
"You also don't need to call me Lord Inheritor anymore. My name is Yun Yuan. You can simply call me by my name."
"Mm, understood, Lord Yun Yuan."
Hearing how Bo Saixi addressed him, Yun Yuan instinctively corrected her.
"Just call me Yun Yuan."
"Mm, understood, Lord Yun Yuan."
At Bo Saixi's response, the corners of Yun Yuan's mouth twitched slightly. If not for the sincere expression on Bo Saixi's face, he would have thought she was deliberately opposing him.
However, he did not pay much attention to it. Since he couldn't correct it, so be it. After all, it was merely a form of address, not a major issue.
After helping Bo Saixi condense her first soul core, Yun Yuan also planned to return to the continent and bring his grandmaster Qian Daoliu to the sea so they could jointly hunt the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
Toward this Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, whose cultivation was approaching a million years, Yun Yuan was now brimming with confidence. As long as he discovered the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's whereabouts, the beast was doomed to die!
Yun Yuan himself was a quasi-god, while Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu were both peak demigods capable of using divine power. With the three of them joining forces, they already possessed considerable confidence.
Beyond that, Yun Yuan also possessed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, which still contained the Sea God's Light bestowed upon him by the Sea God. It could be used to restrain the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and weaken its strength.
With so many preparations, Yun Yuan truly could not think of any way the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King could possibly escape from his grasp.
