Listening to the discussions around him, Su Yu roughly understood the current situation.
Each Soul Master at the Great Soul Master Level spoke as if they were invincible, criticizing this and that, but their information itself was probably accurate.
"It may be a bit delayed, but it shouldn't be too outdated."
The Douling Empire is the furthest from the Sun and Moon Empire, but it is not the safest. The original Celestial Battle Empire was much weaker than the Xingluo Empire, let alone the two countries after the split. After the split, both the Celestial Soul and Douling had internal conflicts, further weakening their national power.
The border between the Celestial Soul Empire and the Sun and Moon Empire lacks a natural barrier like the Mingdu Mountain Range, making it a sitting duck in the war.
If the Sun and Moon Empire truly makes a firm decision, the Celestial Soul Empire will surely not hold out for long. And if the Celestial Soul Empire is destroyed, will the Sun and Moon Empire spare the Douling Empire?
Two-pronged attack?
Impossible.
Once the Sun and Moon Empire breaks through the Celestial Soul Empire, it will also effortlessly swallow the Douling Empire.
After all, the separated strength of the two countries is even less than their combined power.
With the Mingdu Mountain Range as no barrier,
It's safe to say that capturing these two countries won't consume too much of the Sun and Moon Empire's resources.
And after conquest, they will pressure the Mingdu Mountain Range while advancing from the original Celestial Battle Empire, pushing north to south, making it hard for the Xingluo Empire to escape destruction.
Not only is the Douling Empire not safe, but it is also the most dangerous.
Even more helpless than the Celestial Soul Empire.
Their intelligence might be outdated due to their geographical position, but it won't be completely sealed off.
"Yuhao, are you planning to return?"
Only a year is left until the Soul Fighting Competition in Mingdu.
"Brother Yu, I won't return to Mingdu for the next year. I will strive to break through Level 60 before the competition and acquire my Sixth Soul Ring," Huo Yuhao said.
Honestly, during his travels, the increase in his Soul Power far exceeded Huo Yuhao's expectations.
In just about a year, his Soul Power had increased by twenty levels, a terrifying speed, especially given his Extreme Martial Soul.
"Yuhao, don't follow him for now, we need to visit the Land of the Far North."
In Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit, the Ice Emperor suggested that Su Yu should head to the Land of the Far North next.
"Brother Yu, I'm planning to go to the Land of the Far North next. Do you have any plans?"
"Me? I still haven't traveled through the Xingluo Empire. Although I was born in Xingluo, I haven't been back for a long time, and I didn't stop to travel around the Xingluo Empire back then." Su Yu's travel plan was very complete, from the Celestial Soul Empire to Douling, then to Xingluo, and finally returning to Sun and Moon.
It was a complete circle.
"So is this where we part ways, Brother Yu?"
"Yes!"
Su Yu still had the remaining three Great Rejuvenation Pills with him.
Su Yu reckoned that given Huo Yuhao's situation, he would probably return to Mingdu at the last moment, and by then it would be too late to bring the Great Rejuvenation Pills to Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen. Even though he would also make a round trip, he planned to return six months earlier, allowing time for Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen to refine the Great Rejuvenation Pills.
Moreover, Su Yu would consider the time needed for Xiao Hongchen to hunt Soul Beasts to break through to Soul Saint with the help of the Great Rejuvenation Pill.
...
Without Huo Yuhao, Su Yu did not immediately head to the Xingluo Empire.
He took out a blood-red crystal.
Within this blood-red crystal, scarlet energy flowed, and faintly, a giant Phoenix emerged within it.
Phoenix Blood Essence.
"First, condense the third Qi Blood Soul Ring."
Su Yu guided the bloodline energy from the Blood Essence to merge into himself, while the Qi Blood Power carried the fiery bloodline power.
A rich and vast Life Force surged into his body, and Su Yu felt every cell in his body cheer in delight.
If the Ultimate Life of Blue Silver Grass was feedback to Su Yu's Life Force and essence of life, then this Phoenix Blood Essence was a complete transformation of Su Yu's body.
This Life Force was used entirely to elevate the potential of Su Yu's blood and flesh cells.
From then on, Su Yu's Qi Blood Power would also transform into rich Life Force.
Harness the bloodline power, capturing the Spiritual.
Condense!
A crimson-gold Soul Ring appeared outside Su Yu's body.
If the red from the Fire Dragon King's bestowed Soul Ring was the crimson gold compatible with gold, the Qi Blood Soul Ring granted by the Phoenix was a vivid crimson red interwoven with golden patterns.
...
The next day, Su Yu set off, heading towards the Xingluo Empire.
"Some Blood Essence still remains."
Su Yu hadn't completely refined the Phoenix Blood Essence, leaving a portion, which he planned to use as one of the materials to complete the Life God's fourth trial.
"From life to death, from death to life, the Path of Reincarnation."
This was Su Yu's realization from the last time at the Endless Volcano. His Blue Silver Grass had indeed reached the extreme in the life attribute, but its essence seemed somewhat lacking.
Reincarnation!
This was Su Yu's deeper understanding of Blue Silver Grass, as well as a deeper comprehension of life.
"Is it one Soul Ring from life to death and another from death to life, or is the transformation of life and death in itself a Soul Ring?"
There's no doubt Su Yu still needed two Soul Rings.
And whether these two Soul Rings would complete the process of Life and Death Reincarnation in two steps, or one Soul Ring would suffice?
This question had lingered in Su Yu's mind for a long time, ever since he grasped the concept of Reincarnation.
"Let's try to settle it with one Soul Ring!"
Su Yu found his answer.
If it could be completed with one Soul Ring, why waste two Soul Ring slots?
