LRAB Chapter 5 Han Tianyi
Chapter 5 Han Tianyi
Mingdu, the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda.
A tall, elderly man strode out, his face beaming with undisguised joy, which also gave off a strong aura.
Even if he's an old man at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, how could he be anything but simple?
He is known as the strongest brain because his martial soul is his brain. His mental strength has reached the peak of the Spirit Realm and he has begun to touch the Divine Origin Realm of Han Tianyi.
How terrifying is this level of mental power?
According to the levels divided by the first Tower Master, Lingbing Douluo, spiritual power is divided into six levels from low to high: Lingyuan Realm, Lingtong Realm, Linghai Realm, Lingyuan Realm, Lingyu Realm, and the legendary Shenyuan Realm.
The Spirit Origin Realm, the beginning of all things, a time of renewal. From birth, everyone possesses the spiritual power of the Spirit Origin Realm, the most basic form of spiritual power. This spiritual power can sustain souls of the Yellow rank and below.
The Spiritual Connection Realm signifies spiritual enlightenment and the ability to communicate one's thoughts and intentions. Reaching this realm marks the beginning of mastering mental power, allowing one to truly control their own mental energy for their own use, and enabling them to support two yellow spirits or one purple spirit.
The Spirit Sea Realm is a vast and boundless ocean of spiritual power. It represents the foundation for truly reaching a high level of spiritual strength, essential for both peak mech pilots and peak soul masters. It can support up to five yellow soul spirits, or three purple soul spirits and one black soul spirit.
The Spirit Abyss Realm is like an abyss, a prison, encompassing both the highest heavens and the deepest hells. Wherever the will goes, all things return to the heart. Top-tier spiritual power is the foundation for possessing legendary soul spirits, allowing the fusion of soul spirits of any level. Orange and red soul spirits can only be fused into one. Possessing either of these two types of soul spirits, further fusion with other soul spirits yields abilities equivalent to the Spirit Sea Realm. Without red and orange soul spirits, the maximum number of other soul spirits that can be accommodated is five, regardless of level. Normally, the Spirit Abyss Realm is already the limit for humanity.
The Spirit Realm is a domain of spiritual consciousness, forming its own world. It originates from the soul and extends to the spiritual consciousness, creating its own heaven and earth, a realm of mind and spirit. Within the upper limit of spiritual power, it can fuse any level and any number of souls, with a theoretical upper limit of nine. It is also the standard requirement for becoming a Limit Douluo.
Each realm of spiritual power represents a vast chasm. Except for the Spirit Origin Realm, which is innate, the path from the Spirit Connection Realm to the Spirit Sea Realm is blocked for countless Soul Masters who lack the necessary skills.
Ninety-nine percent of the Limit Douluo throughout history have been trapped at this level. It can be said that if Han Tianyi were to break through that barrier in his lifetime, he would be the absolute number one in spiritual power on the continent.
The Divine Origin Realm: Spiritual Consciousness Transforms into Divine Power, the Primordial Beginning is Formed. Spiritual Consciousness transforms into the Primordial Spirit, and spiritual power transforms into the power of the Primordial Spirit. This is the world of gods; wherever their thoughts reach, they penetrate heaven and earth. Reaching this realm allows one to glimpse the world of gods. When spiritual power reaches the Divine Origin Realm, one can already be called a demigod. Gods are nothing more than this.
For thousands of years, the continent has almost never seen a spiritual power expert at the Divine Origin Realm level. In the present day, there are no records of humans who have clearly reached the Divine Origin Realm level of spiritual power in the intelligence network of the Spirit Pagoda. In other words, Han Tianyi is the number one spiritual power expert on the continent.
The most famous person in history to have clearly reached the Divine Origin Realm is the first tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, the founder of Soul Spirit, and the legendary powerhouse Lingbing Douluo.
(P.S.: Yun Ming does not actually possess the cultivation level of the Divine Origin Realm. This is a qualitative leap, and the earlier claims that he was at the Divine Origin Realm were all speculation. However, in the later part of Legend of the Dragon King, Tang Wulin's breakthrough to the Divine Origin Realm clearly indicates that Yun Ming had not reached this level. The setting was revised several times, and the final conclusion is that he is not.)
"Elder Han, where are you going?"
A woman with long, flowing crimson hair, a beautiful face, and a tall figure asked in surprise.
As everyone knows, Han Tianyi is a lifelong homebody, and even she only sees him a few times every few years. What wind blew him out today?
"Do I need to report to you where I'm going?" Han Tianyi kept walking without even looking at her, seemingly at odds with women, and his tone was not very friendly.
"Sigh," the woman said helplessly. Elder Han was rather stubborn, intolerant of injustice, and once he made up his mind about something, he wouldn't change it. Besides, she had indeed made a mistake in the past. "That's not what I meant. It's just that I wanted to ask you to give my disciple some guidance. Her martial spirit requires extremely high mental strength to control, and I think..."
"Your apprentice? Oh, the girl named Gu Yuena?"
Han Tianyi didn't turn his head and quickened his pace. Of course he knew Gu Yuena. He had met her once when she entered the Spirit Pagoda. Her martial soul was that of an elementalist. The stronger her spiritual power, the stronger her control over the elements.
Thanks to her martial spirit, this girl's mental strength is also amazing. In her first mental strength test, she reached the initial level of the Spiritual Connection Realm, with a score of over one hundred points.
Unfortunately, the disciple he wanted to take in was even more extraordinary. Also six years old, at the mid-stage of the Spiritual Awakening realm, his spiritual power was about two hundred points higher than Gu Yuena's.
"Can't you teach yourself? Why bother me? Go away, go away."
Leng Yaozhu watched his retreating figure, a question mark slowly forming in her mind. Wait, who was it that said Gu Yuena was a hidden gem in her eyes? Who was trying to steal her disciple?
She had finally thought things through and was preparing for Gu Yuena's long-term development and future competition for the position of Tower Master before coming to find Han Tianyi, but why did he change his mind?
At that moment, she was incredibly curious.
…………
The Spirit Pagoda of the East Sea.
"You're actually taking theory seriously, aren't you? You're so young but so precocious. What are you doing learning theory at your age? Are you trying to emulate that theoretical master Yu Xiaogang from over 20,000 years ago?"
Arriving at Huo Yuhao's room, and seeing him intently studying the books he'd brought, Sikong Hong curled his lip, utterly speechless. Was that master really interested in learning theory? The title of "theory master" was best taken with a grain of salt.
It would be better to wait until you become a strong person before returning to study. Combining your own strength with this knowledge will make it easier to put into practice. Why did Yu Xiaogang have to study theory? Wasn't it because he was a waste?
With innate half-level soul power, if it weren't for the Sea God's help, he would have remained a level 29 Great Soul Master for his entire life.
"Teacher Si, don't worry, I know what I'm doing and won't let it interfere with my cultivation." Huo Yuhao put down the book titled "The History of Soul Development" and smiled helplessly.
He also wanted to learn about things ten thousand years from now. Fortunately, his worries didn't come true. Although there were conflicts between soul beasts and humans, they still coexisted peacefully. The layers of encryption implemented in the soul spirit system had never been cracked. However, Huo Yuhao couldn't guarantee that no one would crack it in the future, after all, new talents emerge in every generation.
His plan was to wait until he became a god before such a talent emerged in this era, then modify the rules of the plane and imprint the current soul spirit system into the underlying code of the plane, so as to prevent it from being modified and abused into something that would exterminate soul beasts like in the original timeline.
This was the promise he made to Qiu'er, Di Tian, and Xue Di back then.
"As long as you know your limits, that's fine. Hmm, with your innate full soul power, it's time to fuse with a soul spirit. I've picked out some suitable soul spirits for you. With your heaven-defying physique, you can try fusing with a thousand-year-old soul spirit as your first soul spirit."
Sikong Hong shook his head. He didn't need to worry about this; Elder Han would handle the rest. However, he had already made initial investments. "Take a look at this list. Which one do you think is suitable?"
There's no need for Huo Yuhao to look at each soul spirit individually; the list is here, and he's already seen the Soul Beast Encyclopedia.
Huo Yuhao nodded and took the list. It contained soul spirits that were one to two thousand years old, and all of them were soul beasts with outstanding spiritual attributes.
Ice Silkworm, Evil Eye, Illusionary Butterfly, Purple Spirit Wolf, Three-Tailed Demon Fox, Silver Wolf, Silver Elite Beast, and even Mirror Shadow Beast...
"Let's go with the Evil Eye. Your martial soul is an eye, so it might fuse with the Evil Eye and mutate."
A voice filled with laughter rang out, and Han Tianyi appeared beside him without him noticing.
"Master Han? Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
Sikong Hong was taken aback and immediately bowed. He hadn't even noticed when Han Tianyi had arrived. He was also a level 93 Title Douluo! This made him shudder. Elder Han's spiritual power had improved again, and he was becoming more and more elusive.
"Haha, Xiao Si, what are you afraid of? I'm just afraid that someone else will snatch this disciple away. You know, the water inside this Spirit Pagoda is very murky, and there are some people who are biased towards outsiders. If I had arrived a step later, my disciple might have been taken away before even entering the sect."
Han Tianyi laughed, revealing that the Spirit Pagoda was not so harmonious these days.
Sikong Hong kept his eyes down, his mind at ease, and remained silent. He knew nothing about the internal struggles and conflicts, nor did he want to know. He only wanted to be a local tyrant in Donghai City until retirement.
The headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda is now a melting pot, with various forces deeply intertwined and constantly vying for power.
The soul contract left by Spirit Ice Douluo deeply bound soul beasts to the Spirit Pagoda, causing the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda to not dare to cross the line and target soul beasts for so many years.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing.
The advantage is that with the support of the spirit beasts, the Spirit Pagoda has been pushed to its peak, making it extremely powerful.
Including the soul beasts, the Spirit Pagoda now has seven powerhouses comparable to Limit Douluo, four of whom are quasi-gods!
Which power in the world has more powerful people than them?
Even the once-powerful Shrek Academy couldn't match their number of strong individuals!
However, the greater the power and strength, the less capable anyone can suppress the others when that person is not in charge. Naturally, internal strife will arise.
The soul beasts and humans also vie for power internally.
"Now that Elder Han is here, I don't need to worry about Yuhao's soul. Come, Yuhao, this is Elder Han Tianyi, a titled Xuanyu, a level 98 Super Douluo, the very person I promised to invite to be your master."
"Xiao Si, don't finish speaking. What should I say?"
"Haha, it's just that I'm afraid he'll be ignorant and talk back to you."
"You're always trying to be clever. Yuhao, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
"Is this Han Tianyi, the one with the most brilliant mind? Yuhao, I remember, this kid was originally from the Body Sect, like that Golden Belly Silver Butt guy, a traitor?"
In the sea of consciousness, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chatted with Huo Yuhao, completely unafraid of being discovered by Han Tianyi, after all, He was now a powerful being in the Divine Origin Realm!
In terms of spiritual power alone, let alone one Han Tianyi, even ten of him couldn't compare. Even at the weakest level of the Divine Origin Realm, his spiritual power was still pure Divine Origin Realm existence. From the Spirit Realm to the Divine Origin Realm, this was a transformative change, a true leap into the divine level!
"Don't think like that. This time, things should be very different because I didn't ascend. Besides, I did demonstrate my original martial soul back then, so the Spirit Pagoda should value the original martial soul as well."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was overjoyed in her divine sea: "Tsk. I bet the Body Sect is furious. How come all these powerful Body Martial Soul experts are in the Spirit Pagoda?"
Indeed, thinking of this, Huo Yuhao smiled, but stopped talking to Him and looked at Han Tianyi, seemingly thinking about something.
"I share the same spirit-type martial soul as you, and no one else dares to claim they can teach you. Furthermore, given my status, while obtaining a four-word battle armor might be a bit troublesome—after all, even divine craftsmen have to wait in line—I can definitely get you a three-word battle armor, a red-level mecha, and the like."
Han Tianyi thought he wanted to "sell himself for a good price" and thought to herself that he was a shrewd and calculating kid, so she made a promise without hesitation.
"That's not what I was thinking about," Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly. "Teacher, if I become your apprentice, can I continue my research on soul spirits?"
Han Tianyi was taken aback and looked at Sikong Hong, thinking that he had led his disciple astray. Wasn't this age the time for rigorous training? However, what he saw in Sikong Hong's eyes was innocence and helplessness.
Well, it's my apprentice who's different from ordinary people.
"Sure. As long as it doesn't interfere with your cultivation."
He nodded in agreement, thinking that he would make the most of this time when he got back.
"Huo Yuhao pays his respects to his teacher."
Thus, Han Tianyi became Lingbing Douluo's teacher. Congratulations!
