Chapter 41 Self-Condensing Soul Bones, Shaping Bones and Solidifying Position

It felt like falling from a towering platform into a bottomless abyss; everything around me vanished rapidly before my eyes, replaced by countless buildings that appeared out of thin air.

At one point, the feeling of falling abruptly stopped.

Looking at the familiar blue silver grass lawn under his feet, Jiang Ci'an, as always, cast a layer of "indifference" on himself, then used "X-ray vision" to confirm the location of Tang San and Xiao Wu, and slowly walked over.

He skillfully found Xiao Wu and skillfully made her come up to sacrifice herself in front of Tang San.

He has done this process countless times. At first, he needed to give commands to guide him, but now he has gradually learned to manipulate the puppets with his mind.

With just a glance, Xiao Wu would walk up to him, hug him, and set herself on fire as a sacrifice.

However, this time, he did not continue to carve Xiao Wu's spirit ring.

Jiang Ci'an paid no attention to the newly formed 100,000-year soul ring beside him. Instead, he raised his hand, condensed the power of "Time Control" at his fingertips, and then gently swept it across the void.

It's like dragging a video progress bar.

He turned back time, then adjusted it repeatedly, precisely pinpointing the exact moment when Xiao Wu's soul bone condensed.

right here.

At the very last moment of Xiao Wu's sacrifice, when the energy within her body reached its peak and her bones began to undergo some kind of change...

The process of soul bone formation was clearly presented before his eyes.

Jiang Ci'an focused on this point in time, observing and analyzing it again and again.

He would subtly interfere with the formation of each soul bone, causing slight differences in the formation process each time. He would then capture the commonalities from these differences and finally summarize them.

After coming into contact with the Knight system from the Throne of Gods, Jiang Ci'an has been thinking about how to localize this system and integrate it with the Soul Master system, thereby building a feasible path to godhood.

This problem is indeed difficult, but it's not exactly simple either.

According to Master Yi, his "body tempering method" is very suitable as an access point.

The method he tested using Tang San's life has many similarities in core logic to the Knight system.

Based on this, the conversion of related knightly training methods is not difficult, it just takes time.

If successful, the original upper limit of the "Body Tempering Method" will be raised, and his so-called "martial arts" that he had only talked about before will have a real foundation.

But another problem arises: the "spiritual aperture".

As is well known, the existence of the Spirit Aperture is crucial in the Knights system of the Throne of Seals.

Most advanced cultivation methods after the sixth rank of a knight are based on spiritual apertures. Without spiritual apertures, the development of subsequent systems either requires finding a completely new path, or...

This will fundamentally solve the problem of the lack of spiritual insight.

So, is it feasible to cultivate a spiritual aperture later in life?

The answer is yes, and instances already exist.

That was the Eye of Life between his eyebrows.

The Eye of Life is essentially a spiritual aperture created later in life by utilizing the properties of the Metal of Life and the modifications made by Elder Yi, located between his eyebrows.

It is an exception, the result of a chance convergence of multiple factors, and is not yet replicable.

But its very existence proves that it is possible to construct spiritual apertures later in life.

So, is there a way to enable ordinary Soul Masters to possess an acquired spiritual aperture similar to the Eye of Life?

Jiang Ci'an's research focuses on soul bones.

Humans in the Throne of Seal are born with nine spiritual apertures under normal circumstances.

Because of individual differences in talent, the specific locations of spiritual apertures may vary, but their general distribution follows a pattern, consisting of three main spiritual apertures and six secondary spiritual apertures.

The three main areas are the chest, lower abdomen, and between the eyebrows.

The six secondary parts are the limbs, spine, and brain.

There are nine in total.

Does it look familiar?

If we temporarily ignore the acupoints on the chest, lower abdomen, and between the eyebrows, and only look at the six secondary acupoints—

The limbs, spine, brain—these six locations correspond precisely to the main sites where soul bones appear in the Douluo Continent.

Although this is probably just a coincidence because the human body structure follows some similar underlying rules in different worlds, this coincidence also gave him direction.

In other words, is it possible to use these locations, which should hold soul bones, to hold spiritual apertures?

So he made his initial attempt in the virtual world.

Using Tang Hao, a titled Douluo, as material, he attempted to forcibly condense a spiritual aperture on Tang Hao's body where there was no space to fuse a soul bone.

Then...

Tang San's father was furious.

After bombing it dozens of times, he basically confirmed that, due to some fundamental difference in human anatomy, humans in the Douluo Continent were born without spiritual apertures.

Forcibly condensing a spiritual aperture will only cause the body's energy structure to collapse, preventing it from taking shape and resulting in an explosion.

The fact that his brow and spirit orifice were able to be successfully formed is essentially because the "eye of life" took on the function of the "spiritual orifice position".

Since the inability to condense a "spiritual aperture" is due to the lack of a "spiritual aperture position,"

So, the question arises: is there a way for a Soul Master to acquire "spiritual apertures" after birth?

What he was thinking about was still the soul bone.

Soul bones are special entities that are fused into a soul master after birth.

After fusing with a Soul Master, it will change the skeletal and energy structure of the fused part of the Soul Master, making it integrated with the Soul Bone.

This was the conclusion he reached after cutting off Tang Hao's legs several times.

In other words, theoretically, by using the characteristics of the soul bone to change the skeletal and energy structure, a spiritual aperture position can be created that can hold the spiritual aperture.

With a spiritual aperture, one can naturally condense spiritual energy.

That is, to modify the soul bone, to fuse the soul bone, and finally to obtain the spirit aperture position.

However, there are still a few issues here.

First, there are huge individual differences between soul bones.

Even soul bones from the same type of soul beast and produced in the same year may not have the same microstructure.

Even if he successfully modifies a spiritual aperture with a specific soul bone in the virtual world, the method might fail in reality if he uses a different soul bone.

In addition, the quality of the soul bone is also a major issue.

He looked down on hundred-year-old or thousand-year-old soul bones; their quality was too low, and they weren't worth modifying. Even if he succeeded, he wouldn't fuse with them.

Ten-thousand-year soul bones are possible, but the price is a problem. An ordinary ten-thousand-year soul bone can easily cost hundreds of millions of gold soul coins. Moreover, ten-thousand-year soul bones are mostly in short supply. Once they appear, they are usually bought up by major forces as part of their reserves, making them very rare.

Furthermore, the modification experiments have a high failure rate; each soul bone, worth millions, could be destroyed during the experiment...

Leaving aside whether he has enough ten-thousand-year-old soul bones to create for him, he simply cannot afford the cost.

Therefore, he came up with another method that was more feasible, lower in cost, and more universal.

which is,

Self-condensed soul bones.
