He absorbed it little by little, his spiritual power becoming more and more abundant, gradually expanding the boundaries of his sea of consciousness outward.
The whole process went exceptionally smoothly because the two dragon kings were offering their sacrifices voluntarily, and there was no need to fight against their will.
After an unknown amount of time, a roar came from Jiang Yunzhou's sea of consciousness.
He knew that his mental strength had just broken through another barrier, and he had once again achieved a breakthrough, entering the Spirit Realm!
At this moment, his mental power underwent a qualitative change. He could now expand his mental domain centered on himself, distorting his opponent's sense of space and time, making it undetectable, and even inducing hallucinations...
His powerful mental strength is not only offensive, but also comes with an absolute mental barrier that not just anyone can easily penetrate.
Breaking through to the Spirit Realm is not the end.
Then comes another long absorption process...
After completely digesting the remnant souls of the two Dragon Kings, his spiritual power stabilized at the mid-level of the Spirit Realm.
They were just a hair's breadth away from reaching the limits of the mortal realm.
Moreover, because he absorbed the remnant soul of the Dragon King, who was once a deity, his spiritual power was also tainted with a trace of divinity.
This will be crucial in helping him transform his spiritual power into divine consciousness in the future.
Given the current vacancy, it would be difficult to reach the peak of the Spirit Realm simply by burying oneself in arduous cultivation.
He needed more opportunities... Suddenly, a name flashed through his mind: Brother Tianmeng.
That guy should be imprisoned at the bottom of the Lake of Life right now, being used as a collective power bank by Di Tian and the others, right?
At this moment, the Ice Silkworm yearns for freedom, craves revenge, and utterly hates the ferocious beasts that imprisoned it...
Jiang Yunzhou's lips curled into a smile:
"With my current physical strength and mental power, equipping myself with a ninth spirit ring that lasts for a million years... isn't too much to ask, is it?"
Just thinking about it made him a little excited.
However, he quickly calmed down, realizing he had important business to attend to.
Since the remnant soul of the Ice and Fire Dragon King disappeared, the cave has become completely silent, devoid of any light or sound.
Jiang Yunzhou first put away the two dragon pills, then turned his gaze to the two sets of dragon king remains.
"The Ice and Fire Dragon King was, after all, a god in life, and his remains have long since transformed into the purest primal power..."
"It also contains their great Dao: the ultimate ice and the ultimate fire."
"Come on, this is a huge gamble for me too."
He slowly walked forward and placed his left and right hands on the remains of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, respectively.
The moment he began to absorb, two opposing yet equally violent torrents of primordial energy surged into his body!
At this moment, his body became the most intense battlefield.
Fortunately, his body had already undergone a transformation in the extreme environment during the previous dive; otherwise, it's uncertain whether he could have withstood the impact.
Everything is such a coincidence, and now it's just right: the pain is excruciating, but not fatal.
His left side was instantly covered by extreme ice, and his meridians, blood, and even soul seemed to be frozen.
His right side was being scorched by extreme fire, his skin cracked, his blood evaporated, and his bones creaked.
The two extreme forces brought him extreme pain, but he could not stop and could only grit his teeth and endure it.
The body and meridians were constantly being torn apart by the clash of ice and fire, only to be rapidly rebuilt...
This cycle repeated itself until Jiang Yunzhou became numb from the pain.
Eventually, you get used to the pain.
He began to try to draw these primordial forces together.
The essence of ice gradually gathered, and he tried several times, but the ice martial spirit was always just short of being able to condense properly.
A sudden thought flashed through his mind: Is it missing a 'carrier'?
He immediately thought of those two sharp edges.
Thus, the Ice Dragon's Reverse Scale was extracted and integrated into his Ice Martial Soul. With a vessel, the Ice Martial Soul finally began to slowly take shape.
The second martial soul was thus successfully formed and named: Ice Dragon King's Sword!
He then used the same method to attack the Fire Dragon's Reverse Scale.
The third martial soul is born, named: Fire Dragon King's Sword!
Chapter 114 So Lovely It's Unbearable...
He had become accustomed to using a sword, so he decided to go all the way and designate the form of his martial spirit as a sword.
Anyway, he was aiming for the title of 'Sword God' all along.
With his martial spirit fully condensed, Jiang Yunzhou was overjoyed.
With a thought, he simultaneously summoned his three martial souls.
The sword-grass martial spirit hangs in the center, with the ice sword and fire sword standing on either side, appearing exceptionally 'well-behaved'.
At this moment, he held a long sword with azure blue color like ice crystals in his left hand, a long sword with burning flames in his right hand, and in the center was the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, which for the time being only eight leaves.
"At least the suffering wasn't in vain."
Jiang Yunzhou smiled, revealing a satisfied expression.
The Ice Sword Martial Soul comes with the ultimate skill: Absolute Zero.
Absolute Zero, extremely Yin and cold, possesses the supreme power to freeze the movement of all particles in the world; its temperature is extremely low, capable of bringing all things to stillness.
The Fire Sword Martial Soul comes with its own ultimate skill: True Sun Fire.
The true fire of the sun is extremely yang and strong, possessing the supreme power to burn away all evil and filth in the world. Its temperature is extremely high, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas.
These two extremely powerful attack methods, once introduced, will surely strike fear into the hearts of many.
He has now taken all the legacy left by the two Dragon Kings, leaving only two Dragon Pills.
From this moment on, all traces of the existence of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings have completely disappeared.
He scanned the cave with his mental power.
Indeed, this place still contains extremely cold ice springs and scorching hot springs that have been formed over countless years.
But he did not intend to take away these ice springs and yang springs.
The system said that as long as these springs are preserved, the special environment of the Yin-Yang Two Elements Eyes can continue to be maintained for a period of time.
He had no idea how long it would take.
He has now mastered the ultimate ice and the ultimate fire, so these two springs are no longer important to him.
But then he suddenly remembered that he had two apprentices who might need it!
"Taking just a little bit shouldn't have much of an impact..."
Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er happen to be of the ice and fire attributes. If we take some back and let them absorb it slowly, they might be able to advance to the ultimate attribute someday.
He collected one bottle of each type of spring water and stored them in his system space.
Looking at the perpetually dark underground cave, time seems to stand still, and you can't feel the passage of time.
Even he himself didn't know exactly how much time had passed.
At this moment, he missed those beautiful women and just wanted to return as soon as possible. He figured his disciples must be worried about him.
This trip was truly fruitful; not only did I condense my second and third Martial Souls, but my spiritual power also broke through to the Spirit Domain Realm in one fell swoop.
The two dragon pills wouldn't be of much use to him, but since they could help Gu Yuena, he would just send them to her later.
He ascended rapidly, several times faster than when he was diving, but it still took him more than an hour to return to the surface.
When the long-awaited sunlight came into view, he couldn't help but squint.
It was a bit too bright, but the air was fresh.
He took several deep breaths of the fresh hydrogen gas, his face showing a look of pure enjoyment; it truly was wonderful.
The commotion of him breaking out of the water immediately alerted everyone around him, and they all rushed towards him.
"Ah~! It's the teacher, the teacher is back."
Jiang Yunzhou looked around and found that three more people had appeared here at some point: Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling.
The five apprentices, who had initially looked gloomy, burst into tears upon seeing him, showering him with concern and care.
Thankfully, it was just a matter of draining their essence. They had been worried for days, but now they could finally relax.
"Teacher! Why were you gone for so long... Waaah, do you know how worried I was! If something had happened to you, how could I live..." Ning Rongrong cried, tears streaming down her face.
Zhu Zhuqing silently shed tears: "Teacher, are you alright?"
"Teacher, I thought I would never see you again." Xiao Wu pursed her lips, tears streaming down her face.
Huo Wu kept wiping away her tears with her sleeve: "Teacher, I'm so useless... I can only dive a few hundred meters at most, and then I can't go any further. I want to come to you, but I can't..."
While tidying his soaked clothes and hair, Shui Bing'er said softly, "Teacher, please don't make us worry like this anymore, okay?"
Before Jiang Yunzhou could even say a word, he had already garnered the attention of everyone present.
He looked at his disciples with a hint of pity and said softly, "Don't you know how powerful your teacher is? Stop crying, you look better when you smile..."
"From what you're saying, do you mean I've been down there for a long time?"
At this point, a hint of resentment appeared on the faces of the group.
Ning Rongrong pouted: "33 days! Teacher, do you know how we spent this past month?"
This brief separation made them realize their own feelings; they were particularly dependent on Jiang Yunzhou.
Their teachers were like their whole world.
The teacher is like a leech; once you're hooked, you can't leave him.
They tried to go deep into the spring to search for it, but they couldn't even reach a depth of a thousand meters.
So they could only do this to desperately temper their bodies and try to dive deeper.
