Chapter 275 - Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [275]
The Angel God also had some complaints about this, as she had developed quite primitively in her early growth stages, solely relying on the instinctive nature of her martial soul. If her martial soul didn't initially possess that sinister devouring ability, she would never have reached the level she ultimately achieved.
She had tried to correct this issue before, but every attempt only resulted in negative consequences.
Although she is a deity, the Angel God was originally a human from ancient times. No matter how advanced her thinking might be, it is ultimately limited. Furthermore, since low-level meditation techniques could gradually be refined into advanced techniques by soul masters, she eventually resigned herself to temporarily setting this matter aside.
Chen Ming used his spiritual power to take the compressed file sent by the Angel God and began reviewing the beginner-level cultivation method. He discovered that the Angel God was quite modest. Not only had she lowered the entry barrier for the technique, but she also meticulously broke down and annotated each step based on her experience.
For beast martial souls, what steps to take first; for tool martial souls, what steps to take first. Which meridian to follow for fire-attributed martial souls, and which for water-attributed ones. How to purify soul power, how to sense one's cultivation limits, and how to alleviate the strain cultivation places on the body.
For unique martial souls, how to proceed; how to channel soul power through the meridians after martial soul possession and physical transformation; key points to be aware of during each stage of soul power and cultivation precautions.
It felt like a college student submitting a thesis to their professor, and the professor nodded approvingly, pointing out minor flaws that needed slight adjustments—only to then hand back a detailed dissection and analysis that was several times thicker than the original thesis.
The core remained the same, but there was an overwhelming amount of valuable information added.
If the initial version of Chen Ming's foundational internal cultivation method (1.0) was akin to a beta version requiring countless revisions and feedback from soul masters as references, then the Angel God's 2.0 version was a polished, public release capable of directly transforming the era.
Although the number of bugs fixed wasn't necessarily massive, the overall usability and smoothness of the system were elevated by several levels, greatly enhancing the experience for soul masters.
Looking at the Angel God, who, while saying nothing, still had the corners of her mouth curved upward into a subtle smile, Chen Ming tentatively offered his own 1.0 version of the Crystal Ball Meditation Method for enhancing spiritual power.
The Angel God was silent for a while upon receiving this spiritual enhancement technique. After briefly analyzing and experimenting with it, she grasped its essence and thought process. Before long, she returned a more refined 2.0 version to Chen Ming.
Once again, it featured lowered barriers to entry and optimizations to the system, making it suitable for mass adoption.

At this point, Chen Ming's gaze grew fervent. He began dumping a slew of ideas and unfinished concepts from his folders into the Angel God's hands.
Many of Chen Ming's ideas appeared groundbreaking to the Angel God, and most of them seemed feasible. Thus, while Chen Ming provided his frameworks and ideas, the Angel God used her experience and comprehension to fill in the gaps, refine them, and improve upon them.
To Chen Ming, this process felt oddly reminiscent of feeding Chatgpt in his past life.
Chen Ming fed the "Basic Body Refining Technique 1.0," and the Angel God returned "Basic Body Refining Technique 2.0."
Chen Ming fed the "Thoughts and Composition of the Soul Core," and the Angel God returned "From An Introduction to Soul Core Structure to Constructing Your Own Soul Core from Scratch."
Chen Ming fed the "Theory of Elemental Opposition," and the Angel God returned "Extreme Transformations and Oppositional Thinking of Elements."
Seeing how the Angel God could instantly comprehend and enhance these foundational concepts, Chen Ming finally presented some of his most prized ideas—the ones he had been keeping in reserve.
For example, he had researched advanced spiritual meditation techniques—though these were not the beginner-level "Crystal Ball Meditation Method" that had just been improved, but rather the more profound "Stellar Soul Refining Method" and the "Seven Treasures Visualization Method," which Chen Ming had conceptualized based on Buddhist principles.
The Stellar Soul Refining Method focused on harnessing the power of the stars to enhance spiritual strength and refine spiritual power.
The Seven Treasures Visualization Method, on the other hand, primarily aimed at refining spiritual power and improving its resilience, while also enhancing spiritual strength. The "Seven Treasures" were based on the principles of the Prajnaparamita Sutra: gold, silver, crystal, coral, amber, mother-of-pearl, and agate.
The Stellar Soul Refining Method could channel the power of the stars to strengthen spiritual power, and theoretically, those attuned to the stars might even acquire mysterious abilities. The Seven Treasures Visualization Method sought to polish the spirit to achieve a state of perfection and flawlessness, theoretically producing wondrous abilities during meditation.
Why only "theoretically"?
Well, because these were unfinished. They were systems Chen Ming designed with fantastical elements in mind, intending to adapt them to the Douluo world. Theoretically sound, but the processes lacked too many critical details to be complete.
The main issue with the Stellar Soul Refining Method was its high entry barrier. Chen Ming wasn't a star-attributed soul master, so while he could absorb the general power of the stars, he couldn't specifically refine the attributes of individual stars.
Each star in the sky had different properties, and a detailed classification of star attributes could easily yield hundreds of categories. Beyond the basic elements, stars carried unique attributes, such as those related to fate. An example from Douluo Dalu 2 would be the martial soul of the "Heavenfiend Lonestar."
The Seven Treasures Visualization Method, on the other hand, was an excellent conceptual framework. However, its "Seven Treasures" represented states of being: nobility, purity, perseverance, tranquility, abundance, health, and perfection. Chen Ming could only theorize and model these concepts, but he hadn't achieved these states himself.
It was akin to the seventh level of the Great Heaven and Earth Shift or the thirteenth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique—realms that even their creators hadn't reached, with only theoretical data to support their existence.
If his earlier contributions were still considered incremental breakthroughs built upon the existing Douluo framework, and the Angel God merely saw them as inevitable advancements driven by the times, then these two meditation methods represented monumental, cross-era leaps in her eyes.
Because she could glean from their theoretical underpinnings that these two methods not only enhanced spiritual power but also granted soul masters extraordinary abilities. Their implications went far beyond the simple improvement of martial soul quality.
On the Douluo Continent, the gap between low, intermediate, and advanced meditation techniques was not insignificant, but it wasn't overly dramatic either. The meridians and principles involved were fundamentally the same.
Intermediate meditation techniques added some refinements, which allowed for faster progress compared to low-level ones. Advanced techniques, on the other hand, targeted specific groups, incorporating attributes or martial soul specializations to achieve even faster results.
However, these differences were mostly the result of soul masters gradually refining techniques through their own experiences. Gifted individuals could develop their meditation techniques while practicing low-level versions, while less talented individuals might find advanced techniques too complex, yielding worse results than simpler ones.
As long as enough people practiced, and experience accumulated, even low-level meditation techniques could eventually be refined into advanced ones. This was because the essence of meditation techniques remained constant—soul masters could only make adjustments to the details.
