Soul Land: Top Comprehension-Chapter 354 - 229: Seeking the Essence Sect

It’s a pity that after going to the Northern Territory, Songzi never met with Su Yu again.

Even when there was news of Su Yu, it was when Feng Kuang and Su Yu encountered each other at the Endless Volcano.

"Songzi, are Boss Zou and Brother Kuang here?"

"They are, they are!" Songzi nodded quickly.

...

Under Songzi’s guidance, Su Yu met Feng Kuang and Zou Yun.

Zou Yun looked every bit the successful businessman, but Su Yu sensed his Soul Power fluctuations and knew that Zou Yun hadn’t neglected his cultivation.

Developing the Guard Team into a Trade Group, Zou Yun’s breakthrough to Soul King was a key factor.

Of course, Feng Kuang’s condition improved by taking advantage of the Phoenix Continent’s resources. Although he hadn’t replenished his Soul Rings, his Qi Blood had been compensated, giving him genuine Soul Saint strength, which was the fundamental reason.

But Zou Yun didn’t rest on his laurels because of this.

...

"You kid still have time to visit us." Zou Yun knew Feng Kuang’s identity and the relationship between the Essence Sect and the Sun and Moon Empire, so he spoke up first to avoid an awkward situation.

"Yeah, long time no see. I came here to visit old friends, and coincidentally, I have some business with Brother Kuang." Su Yu turned his head to look at Feng Kuang, his gaze calm.

Zou Yun sighed inwardly.

As expected, Su Yu was here to find Feng Kuang.

And he could guess Su Yu’s objective.

The Essence Sect!

Sure enough, Su Yu spoke directly: "Brother Kuang, I wonder if the Essence Sect is still in contact with you?"

"Xiaoyu, Old Kuang he—"

"Brother Zou, you don’t have to worry, I have no malicious intent in finding Brother Kuang. I just want to meet Poison Undying, the Sect Leader of the Essence Sect, to discuss something with him."

"Alright, Old Zou, you go out first; I’ll talk to him alone."

Zou Yun looked around helplessly, sighed, and left the room.

Su Yu didn’t set up any soundproofing measures.

"Brother Kuang, your connection with the Essence Sect should still be deep, right?"

"That’s right."

"If I’m not mistaken, the disciples of the Essence Sect should have been transferred to the Phoenix Continent now."

Feng Kuang’s pupils contracted, and his Qi Blood fluctuated intensely. He took a deep breath and looked at Su Yu.

After a long while, he sighed helplessly.

"You’ve guessed it all."

Indeed, through the space channel deep within the Endless Volcano, the disciples of the Essence Sect were moved to the Phoenix Continent during the war and established their sect there.

That place was already a paradise for Essence Sect cultivation.

In fact, after discovering the space channel, the Essence Sect had been exploring the Phoenix Continent, deploying a large number of people and establishing a branch there.

The evacuation during the war wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision but a planned retreat.

However, knowing about the Phoenix Continent also involved Su Yu and Huo Yuhao.

This was what Feng Kuang had been worried about all along.

He thought it was only a matter of time before Su Yu figured out the Essence Sect had moved to the Phoenix Continent.

He just didn’t expect that day to come so quickly.

Fortunately, Su Yu didn’t seem to have any malicious intent.

"Brother Kuang, you know the current situation on the Douluo Continent. The unification by the Sun and Moon Empire is inevitable. It’s unwise for the Essence Sect to continue opposing it. I hope you can help me get in touch with your Sect Leader. Three days later, I’ll go to the Endless Volcano to meet outside the space channel."

"Alright." Feng Kuang agreed.

Even if he didn’t agree, Su Yu could still travel to the Phoenix Continent through the channel on his own.

Meeting him ahead of time and conveying his intentions was already an act of sincerity.

...

Su Yu cultivated for two days at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

Nowadays, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye is no longer a necessity for his cultivation. To be more accurate, it’s no longer essential for cultivating the Spirit Nourishing Technique.

The initial Spirit Nourishing Technique required the aid of Immortal Spirit Qi to show significant effects, or the Power of Faith to nurture Spirituality, quickly enhancing the soul ring’s spirituality, and thereby increasing its age.

As Su Yu turned his attention to the fusion between Martial Soul and Soul Master, he also perfected the Spirit Nourishing Technique.

The ability of the Soul Spirit Cultivation System to enhance a Soul Master’s Soul Ring age was initially cited as an attractive benefit.

In Su Yu’s initial vision, Immortal Spirit Qi or Power of Faith was still needed.

But with the development of the Soul Spirit Cultivation System, and using the fusion of Martial Soul with the Soul Master as the training direction, he gradually perfected the Spirit Nourishing Technique to the point where it doesn’t require these two special energies to have noticeable effects.

While the enhancement speed might not be drastic, it’s significantly more notable than before.

According to Su Yu’s estimate, running the Spirit Nourishing Technique, consuming the energy equivalent to cultivating Soul Power to the same level, could elevate the corresponding level Soul Ring age by the corresponding years.

Simply put, a Level 1 Soul Master spending the time it takes to cultivate from Level 1 to Level 10, could enhance a Soul Ring age by a hundred years.

For more talented individuals with deeper insights and quicker cultivation, perhaps three to four hundred years. Lesser-talented ones might achieve around a hundred years, approximately the age of a First Soul Ring.

A Level 2 Soul Master spending the time it takes to cultivate from zero to Level 20 in nurturing a Soul Ring could increase the age by six hundred to eight hundred years.

And so on.

It’s foreseeable that the enhancement of Soul Ring ages will become a part of the Soul Master’s cultivation journey.

...

Two days passed quickly.

Su Yu left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, flying towards the Endless Volcano.

His speed was extremely fast.

In just one day, he traveled from Tiandou City to the Endless Volcano and arrived at the location of the space channel.

Space fluctuated.

A formidable aura emanated from the space channel.

A small figure gradually emerged, surrounded by dark green Soul Power, it was Poison Undying.

Poison Undying looked at Su Yu, who was waiting outside the channel, showing a wary expression.

With a Body Martial Soul, his senses were sharp, feeling a deadly threat from Su Yu.

"Su Yu, do we really have anything to discuss between us?" Poison Undying asked.

"If there was nothing to say, the Poison Sect Leader wouldn’t have agreed to meet," Su Yu responded.

"Hmph."

"The Essence Sect’s creed is that Soul Masters of Body Martial Soul are all family, and there are Soul Masters of Body Martial Soul within the Sun and Moon Empire as well, so I believe the Essence Sect doesn’t belong, or shouldn’t lean towards any empire."

"..."

Poison Undying was silent.

He had to admit that Su Yu was correct.

He was initially dazzled by Vina’s talent, leading the Essence Sect to be tied to the Celestial Soul Empire’s chariot.

And now, continuously opposing the Sun and Moon Empire, causing trouble for them.

This isn’t what Poison Undying wanted as a result.

Yet, circumstances pushed him down this path with no return.

"The Soul Spirit Cultivation System’s technique is still in the experimental phase within Mingde Hall, but for major forces, it’s akin to spreading across the entire continent. I believe your Essence Sect has also acquired the Universal Technique." Su Yu continued, "And I’m sure you’ve realized the difference in condensing Soul Rings within the Soul Spirit Cultivation System."

Poison Undying squinted, glaring at Su Yu, and said, "Yes, the techniques of the Soul Spirit Cultivation System create Soul Rings that not only better fit Soul Masters, but also go further—more than just being Soul Rings of Martial Soul, they are Soul Rings of the Soul Master."

It must be said, Soul Masters of Body Martial Soul outperformed anyone except Su Yu in their research of the Universal Technique within the Soul Spirit Cultivation System.

Even the developers at Mingde Hall, under Su Yu’s guidance, only had a partial understanding.

But the Essence Sect perceived this point through self-exploration.

This highlights the advantage of Body Martial Soul in the Soul Spirit Cultivation System.

Suddenly, Qi Blood Power surged from Su Yu.

Circles of Qi Blood Soul Rings, each differing in color but all marked with golden patterns, floated around his body.

"I imagine the Essence Sect finds the condensation of Qi Blood Soul Rings intriguing, which is why your research into my Soul Spirit Cultivation System prompted such specific studies."

Even if Body Martial Soul has the edge in this aspect of cultivation, the Essence Sect’s progress isn’t following a typical trajectory.

It can only be said that the Essence Sect’s investment in this aspect is unexpectedly substantial.
