The formation of the spirit core was only the first step. Su Yu now needed to resume absorbing and refining spirit power, allowing it to flow once again through his meridians and connect with the core, forming a perfect cycle.
Only then could the process be considered truly complete.
In the blink of an eye, another two months had passed.
The entire process of condensing and stabilizing the spirit core had taken Su Yu nearly half a year, but it was worth every moment.
With his spirit power breaking through to level seventy, he was now ready to attempt condensing his seventh spirit ring.
During Su Yu's seclusion, the Snow Empress also underwent significant growth, nourished by Su Yu's potent vitality. She matured into the appearance of a sixteen-year-old human, transitioning from a petite white-haired girl to a white-haired young woman.
Coincidentally, Su Yu himself was just sixteen years old.
The Snow Empress's spirit power also advanced smoothly, breaking through to Spirit Saint and reaching level seventy.
However, the further she progressed, the slower her cultivation became. Upon reaching the Spirit Saint level, her cultivation speed was nearly identical to that of a human. Her pre-rebirth cultivation was now primarily a means to hasten her spirit power training, rather than enabling the massive leaps in power she once achieved by unsealing it.
Even so, her accomplishments were astonishing.
For a 700,000-year spirit beast to successfully reincarnate as a spirit master was nothing short of terrifying.
Still, the difficulty of her original cultivation—reaching 700,000 years—was incomparable to the path of a human spirit master striving for Titled Douluo or even Limit Douluo.
"Snow Empress, I must go now," Su Yu said as he bid her farewell and left the Extreme North.
The Snow Empress had many heavenly treasures in her collection, but Su Yu refrained from taking any for the time being, planning instead to return for them when he truly needed them.
Nevertheless, with her assistance, Su Yu unearthed two spirit bones from the core region of the Extreme North. Both belonged to ice-attribute spirit beasts and were at the ten-thousand-year level.
Unfortunately, while powerful, they lacked the ultimate ice attribute of beings like the Ice Jade Scorpion or the near-ultimate ice of the Titan Snow Demon.
Half a month later, Su Yu arrived outside Heaven Dou City.
After a moment's hesitation, he decided against returning to the Kuangyun Escort Team. Instead, he turned toward the Sunset Forest and made his way to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Su Yu, you're back!"
The celestial herbs greeted him warmly.
Su Yu's potent vitality had provided unprecedented comfort to all the plant-based spirit beasts, earning their friendliness and trust.
It was likely that only the Golden Ancient Tree could surpass Su Yu in benefitting them. However, the Golden Ancient Tree was far too lofty to appear before a few "small" celestial herbs.
"This time, I'll need all of your help," Su Yu said, explaining his intention to condense his seventh spirit ring here.
"Don't worry about it. We'll assist you by channeling energy," the celestial herbs assured him.
Nodding in gratitude, Su Yu adjusted his state and sat cross-legged to prepare.
The Blue Silver Emperor also materialized within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He closed his eyes, seemingly sensing the surrounding Blue Silver Grass. Every plant hidden within the poisonous mists of the Sunset Forest was within his range of perception.
The Seven-Colored Poison Mist of the Jade Phosphor Seven-Flower lingered densely around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. However, the diluted mist had spread across nearly half of the Sunset Forest, veiling most of its core region.
This vast area served as a natural cover for Su Yu's upcoming actions.
Within the poisonous miasma, no plants could survive on the surface.
Yet, beneath the soil, countless seeds of Blue Silver Grass lay dormant, awaiting their moment to sprout.
The Blue Silver Emperor called upon his kin.
One by one, the Blue Silver Grass broke through the soil.
Even the poison mist couldn't instantly kill these grasses within the Emperor's domain.
Utilizing Su Yu's supreme vitality, the Blue Silver Emperor awakened the Blue Silver Grass across thousands of miles, granting them the power of the life attribute to resist the toxic miasma.
While Blue Silver Grass was naturally resilient, it didn't inherently possess the life attribute.
Broadly speaking, the life attribute could be considered innate to all spirit beasts.
However, in its truest sense, the life attribute referred to the awakened ability to manipulate life force and independently harness spirit power imbued with life properties.
The supreme vitality Su Yu wielded, unleashed by the 200,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, instantaneously granted life attributes to all the Blue Silver Grass within the vast radius.
It was an astonishing feat.
Of course, this process consumed a significant amount of vitality, which Su Yu replenished using the Spirit Blade of Life.
Since acquiring the Spirit Blade of Life, Su Yu had repeatedly achieved remarkable accomplishments by drawing upon its immense life force.
The Blue Silver Emperor continued to awaken the surrounding grasses, activating his Blue Silver Domain, which combined with Su Yu's Blue Silver Domain to envelop all the grasses within their reach.
"Sixth Spirit Skill: Ocean's Embrace!"
Su Yu took a deep breath, and his sixth orange spirit ring shone brightly.
Within the domain, the Blue Silver Grass had half of their spirit power and vitality drained by Su Yu in an instant.
As a form of repayment, Su Yu bestowed upon them a trace of sentience.
Massive waves of spirit power surged into Su Yu's body.
Guided by the Blue Silver Emperor, this spirit power circulated smoothly within him.
Su Yu then activated the essence of his martial spirit, the rune for "Spirit," which glowed brilliantly.
Time passed steadily.
Outside Su Yu's body, a spirit ring began to take shape.
First, it gleamed white.
Then, it turned yellow.
Purple.
In the blink of an eye, the illusory spirit ring shifted from white to purple, and its hue deepened continuously.
The latent spirituality of the Blue Silver Grass converged, merging with Su Yu's spiritual power to integrate into the forming spirit ring.
Within the Blue Silver Domain, the grasses thrived with unprecedented vitality. Within half an hour, they not only replenished the vitality previously drained from them but surpassed their prior state.
Now possessing a trace of sentience, the Blue Silver Grass actively absorbed nutrients from the soil and energy from the ambient atmosphere.
"Sixth Spirit Skill: Ocean's Embrace!"
Su Yu activated his skill again, drawing out vast amounts of spirit power, vitality, and a fragment of the grasses' newfound sentience.
In return, their sentience solidified, and their vitality grew even more robust.
This was the dual power of Su Yu's supreme vitality and the innate gift of the Blue Silver Emperor.
If the grasses' initial sentience level was at 3, Su Yu would extract 2, leaving behind 1. However, this remaining 1 had the quality of a sentience level 10 grass, a state that would normally take ages to achieve.
When Su Yu ceased absorbing their sentience, these grasses, with only 1 point remaining, would reach level 10 far quicker than their peers.
The process cycled—absorption and recovery in perfect harmony.
The Blue Silver Grass was exhausted yet joyful.
Under the second surge of absorption, Su Yu's forming spirit ring turned black.
In addition to the grasses' spirit power and vitality, he drew from the primordial energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, energy infused with the essence of divine herbs.
Time passed.
After three days, seven spirit rings swirled around Su Yu—two purple, two black, one red, one orange, and one final red.
Yet, the most captivating ring was not the orange one.
It was the seventh red spirit ring.
Faint streaks of blue and green interlaced within it, occasionally dotted with silvery and violet lights, resembling twinkling stars.
His *Innate Spirit Ring* was complete!
Su Yu opened his eyes, gazing at his seventh ring, sensing an unparalleled resonance with it.
It felt as though this spirit ring was destined to exist.
He could feel the profound synergy of his rings.
Though he had briefly experienced this resonance with the help of his battle armor, the moment the seventh spirit ring solidified, he could sense a deep transformation within his martial spirit.
The seventh spirit ring became the core, with the previous six rings arranged systematically to amplify one another.
"The first six rings align with front, back, left, right, above, and below. The seventh ring anchors the center."
The core had taken its place, completing the system!
