"However, regardless of which continent it is, they are almost undeveloped, so opportunities won't be scarce."
Even if the area is small, it's still a whole continent. Moreover, according to the Blood Flame Sect's description, the indigenous people's development level is quite backward, with no use of resources at all.
Being able to rise from a Soul Sect to a Soul Emperor in just a few years, that Blood Flame must have encountered an opportunity.
"By the way, how does a space portal like this exist?"
This was something Su Yu did not understand.
Last time, he found a space fissure leading to the actual Dragon Valley Mini-World in the southern part of the Sun and Moon Empire, and now he's found a portal to another continent in the Endless Volcano.
Su Yu also felt that the appearance of these space portals was somewhat abnormal.
Shaking his head, Su Yu did not delve further into the issue.
Encountering it was a good thing.
The Xingluo Continent also has a space fissure leading to the Dragon Valley Mini-World, so it's likely that the Xingluo Continent is in the south of the whole continent, and the Endless Mountain Range is in the east, perhaps this portal leads to the Tiandou Continent.
...
Led by the Blood Flame Sect, Su Yu, Huo Yuhao, Feng Kuang, and the three members of the Guard Team went deep into the Endless Volcano and arrived at a valley.
The dense Power of Space made Su Yu certain that there was indeed a space portal here.
Moreover, with his current understanding of space, he could determine that this was at least a relatively stable portal.
"This is the space portal we discovered. This portal has a stable period every month, and as long as one's Soul Power reaches the Soul Sect level, they can pass through, but it's best to prepare a Fourth-Level Soul-guided Protective Shield, otherwise accidents during the transmission could be fatal."
Under Feng Kuang's cold gaze, Blood Fire honestly recounted everything the Blood Flame Sect had explored.
"Except for this stable period, the Power of Space inside the portal is extremely chaotic at other times. At least during our test, a Sixth-Level Soul-guided Protective Shield could not withstand the impact."
In Su Yu's Sea of Spirit, Ellex had already observed the portal with his Divine Sense and concluded.
"This portal is in a cyclical change, and currently appears stable. The current level of space turbulence inside can barely be navigated by a Soul Douluo. Those with weaker strength won't withstand the damage from the Power of Space. Right now, the space inside is still in an even more chaotic phase, and at its peak, even a Titled Douluo would find it hard to pass."
Su Yu felt slightly eager upon hearing this.
The fact that only a Soul Douluo could withstand it didn't mean he, as a Soul Saint, couldn't.
Having condensed a Soul Core, Su Yu felt more at ease with spatial comprehension. His 'Empty' character rune had long reached a five-thousand-year level, sufficient to illustrate his level of spatial understanding.
Not to mention that both his physical attributes and Soul Power were comparable to a Soul Douluo's, and with Armor Fusion, he rivaled even a Titled Douluo.
"Brother Yu, should we take a chance to check it out on the other side?" Huo Yuhao was very curious about the world on the other end of the portal and asked Su Yu quietly.
"We came to the Endless Volcano primarily for your second martial soul awakening, and it's just as well Feng Kuang is here to guide it. As for the space portal, you can't pass through it right now anyway, so let's wait until it's stable."
Huo Yuhao thought Su Yu made sense.
"Brother Kuang, why don't we wait until the next time the Power of Space stabilizes, and we can go there together?" Su Yu suggested.
Feng Kuang wasn't planning to risk exploring with his own body. Since the Blood Flame Sect discovered that a Soul Sect could pass through during its most stable time, there's no need to take risks.
"Alright."
"How long until the space stabilizes again?" Feng Kuang asked, grabbing Blood Fire.
"We came from the other side ten days ago, so it's about twenty more days." Blood Fire had already given up resisting, not daring to withhold any information.
"Fine, we'll go to the other side twenty days later. Do you two have any business during this time?" Seeing that Su Yu and Huo Yuhao had intentions of leaving during this period, Feng Kuang asked another question.
"Brother Kuang, I may need your help again this time." Su Yu explained their purpose for this trip.
Feng Kuang observed Huo Yuhao closely, focusing on his eyes for a long time before nodding in approval, "Eye Martial Soul, not bad. It's definitely rare among Body Martial Souls, and have your eyes mutated? Are they imbued with the Spirit Attribute? If they've mutated into the Spirit Attribute, perhaps your eyes are connected to your brain. This martial soul mutation has become even more significant, absolutely a top-tier Body Martial Soul."
It's undeniable that as an excellent disciple of the Essence Sect, Feng Kuang's understanding of the Body Martial Soul is far beyond that of a typical person.
Just by observing Huo Yuhao for a while, he drew quite a bit of useful conclusions.
Of course, many weren't based on appearances alone, and his speculation about Huo Yuhao's spiritual mutation was more due to sensing Huo Yuhao's powerful Spiritual Power fluctuations.
Huo Yuhao's reaction further confirmed Feng Kuang's guess.
"Brother Kuang, the Essence Sect is really worthy of being the experts on Body Martial Souls." Huo Yuhao was impressed by Feng Kuang's keen sight.
Back at Shrek Academy, Xuanzi, whom Su Yu and Huo Yuhao referred to as the Taotie Douluo, examined Huo Yuhao thoroughly but failed to notice anything.
"The more significant the body part represented by a Body Martial Soul, the greater its potential. This is our Essence Sect's conclusion. However, such a martial soul's second awakening is more challenging."
Su Yu waved his hand and said, "Brother Kuang, don't worry about that. Yuhao has already met several criteria, and we've prepared well for this time. With your guidance, the success rate should be higher."
Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eyes Martial Soul had absorbed the Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm. Although its Life Essence Qi was gone, the Spirit Origin remained, which was top-notch for the transformation of his Spiritual Eyes' origin.
For this reason alone, Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eyes Martial Soul has abundant potential, vastly reducing awakening difficulty.
The Desperate Autumn Dew from the original work helped him awaken smoothly, compatible with his Spiritual Eyes by design, but also due to absorbing the Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm Soul Ring, crossing levels multiple times to absorb high-level Spirit Attribute Soul Rings.
"Since you're confident, I won't persuade you otherwise. However, second awakenings of Body Martial Souls are secrets of our Essence Sect."
Second awakenings of Body Martial Souls have occurred outside the Essence Sect in other forces too, but no systematic cultivation methods exist elsewhere, nor are awakening techniques well-summarized.
It mostly relied on luck to awaken the martial soul a second time.
After all, the world has never lacked the lucky ones.
The Essence Sect has an extremely high awakening rate and relatively low risk, thanks to this secret method.
This is why, even though many other forces guessed that second awakenings of Body Martial Souls require extreme environmental stimuli, the Essence Sect still holds this secret.
The secret isn't just about stimulating the martial soul but how to stimulate it effectively, how to better communicate with it, and how to better manage the extent of stimulation.
Data, summaries, and insights are the most valuable assets.
"You've developed your martial soul well. Even without guidance from our Essence Sect, your chance of self-awakening is at least thirty percent."
Based on observing Huo Yuhao, particularly his eyes radiating a spiritual glow, Feng Kuang made this judgment.
This was already an indication of significant martial soul development.
"If you don't mind, may I test your abilities?"
Feng Kuang took a stance, ready to test Huo Yuhao's strength.
"Yuhao, have a friendly match with Brother Kuang. And use only your Spiritual Eyes Martial Soul," Su Yu conveyed with his Spiritual Power.
Feng Kuang clearly intends to examine the standard of Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eyes Martial Soul and his mastery over them.
Although he claimed that the secret can't be shared, it's evident that Feng Kuang intended to give Huo Yuhao some advice.
However, perhaps these pieces of advice require a test first.
