7. The Origin of the Divine Pearl and its Three Methods
After Ling Bingtian awakened his martial soul, the martial soul awakening ceremony was carried out as usual. However, with such a beginning, even when a commoner later mutated and awakened a martial soul of the Ice Sea Sawtooth Crocodile at the eighth level of the innate realm, it was no longer as surprising as in previous years.
Of course, this commoner child with the innate eighth level of talent was eventually recruited into the Ling family by the person in charge at the scene. With only one genius emerging, the Ling family naturally wouldn't yield to another noble family. After all, the rise and fall of a family depends not only on its talented members but also on the contributions of its servants and subordinates.
Apart from some initial unexpected events due to Zhao Tong's appearance, the entire Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony proceeded smoothly and uneventfully, just like in previous years, under Ling Yongsheng's supervision.
Finally, amidst the kneeling cries of respectfully bidding farewell to His Majesty the Ice God Douluo, Ling Yongsheng led Ling Bingtian into the carriage to return to his residence.
As soon as Ling Yongsheng left, the crowd in the square began to roar.
"Innate full soul power, absolutely innate full soul power! Heaven blesses the Extreme Ice City, truly Heaven blesses the Extreme Ice City!" An elderly man in a brocade robe with white hair and beard, his face full of wrinkles and age spots, excitedly waved the cane that had been supporting him, looking as if he might die of excitement at any moment.
No wonder, in one day, the old man in the brocade robe witnessed the demeanor of a titled Douluo for the first time, and also witnessed the appearance of innate full soul power for the first time. As a native of Ice City, his excitement and pride were naturally overflowing.
"Yes, yes, this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it in my life," a middle-aged man dressed plainly but reeking of blood said with a simple smile. Unlike Zhao Tong, whose bloody smell was very familiar to everyone, this man was just a small-time butcher in the city, a long-time resident of the neighborhood, so naturally no one was afraid of him.
Others chimed in, picking up where the butcher left off, excitedly chatting with those around them as they dispersed to spread the good news throughout the entire Ice City! It was easy to imagine that the taverns and teahouses in Ice City would be packed to capacity tonight.
"Yes, yes. Right, right, right." The butcher responded to others with a simple smile, but in his heart he sneered, "Yes, the information does need to be sent out, but not to those peasants!" However, he did not reveal any of his inner thoughts on the surface. On the surface, he acted exactly like a normal person from the Ice City.
These things, of course, were something that the long-gone Ling Bingtian and Ling Yongsheng could never know.
At this moment, Ling Yongsheng, who had successfully lured out Zhao Tong and killed him to protect his grandson, grew increasingly satisfied with Ling Bingtian. He had not only satisfied his craving for being a good grandfather but had also awakened the noble and supreme martial soul, the Ice Crystal Phoenix. This grandson he had only recently met was truly constantly surprising him.
Ling Bingtian wasn't idle either. Sitting in the stable carriage, he quickly processed the massive amount of information and memories that had just appeared in his mind.
First, let's discuss the origin of this bead. According to the information, this bead is similar to the elixir of immortality of Eastern immortals and the divine essence of Western deities.
In other words, this bead contains the essence of the cultivation of the halberd-wielding man he saw in the image. It contains a vast amount of information that he cannot currently comprehend.
Therefore, I can't even know the true name of this god right now, so I can only call this bead the God Bead.
Through the information, he finally understood what the halberd-wielding man in the picture was doing. The halberd-wielding man had detonated most of the energy within himself and the divine pearl, launching an attack at the cost of his own soul and spirit.
It was less of an attack and more of a seal, which is why the Titan asked, "Was it worth it?"
But at the last moment, the ancient door behind the halberd-wielding man opened a crack, sucking away a small fragment of the halberd-wielding man's unexploded soul and the divine pearl that had lost most of its energy, which is how the divine pearl before him came to be.
The space where he encountered the divine pearl was none other than the famous Void Dimension.
After the car accident, for unknown reasons, my soul did not enter the cycle of reincarnation, but instead drifted into a void dimension. Originally, my soul would have been slowly worn away in the void dimension by the passage of time and the special energy inherent in the void dimension itself, eventually becoming part of the void.
But things took a turn for the better after encountering the Divine Pearl. The Divine Pearl exhausted its last bit of energy, tearing open a spatial rift and carrying itself into it. After passing through the spatial rift, the Divine Pearl also ran out of energy and could only fall into the Extreme Ice City due to inertia. It happened to be attracted by Ling's mother, who was about to give birth, and ended up landing on her. Thus, it naturally became the young city lord of Extreme Ice City.
Secondly, and most importantly, the divine pearl transmitted three methods to him: Devouring Primal Essence, Nine Revolutions, and Cultivating Divinity.
With his brain working at full speed, Ling Bingtian had roughly figured out the differences between the three.
"Swallowing the Yuan" is divided into two parts. The first part, based on my understanding from my previous life, is a digestion method, similar to the Six Treasures Immortal Thief in Under One Person.
Those who successfully cultivate the Absorption of Essence can maximize the conversion of ingested nutrients into energy through the body's digestive system, thereby helping their physical condition quickly reach its peak.
The lower half represents the stable state, which allows individuals who have reached their physical peak to remain at that peak year after year, possessing energy that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
The only difference between it and the Six Treasures Immortal Thief is that even if one cultivates the Devouring Yuan technique, one will still age; it does not have the effect of delaying aging.
However, those who have achieved mastery in cultivation are able to maintain their peak condition for a period of time before they die of old age.
The Nine Revolutions is a method for condensing energy.
In general, it involves compressing the energy within one's body and then forming an energy wheel in the dantian, thereby greatly enhancing the regenerative capacity of one's own energy.
Each major stage can form an energy wheel. When a cultivator has cultivated to the ninth stage, they will be virtually invincible in a prolonged battle.
The information from "Cultivating God" was the least. Ling Bingtian could only learn from the information that it had a total of five levels, and only the first level, the Expansion of the Sea Realm, was known at present.
Expanding the sea, as the name suggests, means expanding one's spiritual sea until it reaches one's personal limit.
The first level of "Cultivating the Gods" is designed to increase the cultivator's spiritual power, laying the foundation for future cultivation.
Ling Bingtian did not obtain the later levels of cultivation techniques from this massive flow of information. It seems he would only acquire them after expanding his sea of knowledge to a certain level.
"Xiao Tian, go back and get some rest. Once you're rested, have A-Jun bring you to me. I have something very important to tell you." Just as Ling Bingtian finished absorbing the information from the divine pearl, Ling Yongsheng suppressed his joy and spoke to Ling Bingtian in a serious tone.
A-Jun is Ling Bingtian's mother, Ling Jun, a control-type battle soul saint with a soul power cultivation level of 78. Her martial soul is the Ice and Snow Spirit Sparrow, which possesses a trace of phoenix bloodline.
This is also something that puts Ling Bingtian at ease. With a close relative in the family who has the bloodline of a phoenix, it's not unreasonable for him to awaken the Ice Crystal Phoenix Martial Soul.
"Understood, Grandpa," Ling Bingtian replied respectfully. He was still not quite familiar with this relative who had recently returned to the family. However, he could sense that the old man's care for him was genuine.
The carriage moved slowly forward, and under the control of the middle-aged coachman, it moved with exceptional smoothness.
Soon, the carriage slowly entered the northern area of the inner city of Extreme Ice City. In the distance, a golden hue could be seen shining with beautiful colors.
