Doulou Dalu: The Power of a Book

Looking at the box in Su Wen's hand, Ning Rongrong was also quite surprised.

Clearly, she recognized the origin of the black box.

Wasn't this the one Yu Tianheng had previously given to Su Wen as an apology?

Earlier, she hadn't felt it clearly and her ability to perceive faith was far inferior to Su Wen's. However, as Su Wen opened the box, she realized the preciousness of what was inside.

This is faith?

It actually contains the Power of Faith!

Inside the box was a purple-black ring, crystal-clear and seemingly carved from natural crystal, with lightning patterns running through the ring.

"Thunder attribute." Su Wen narrowed his eyes, beginning to speculate about the deity associated with the ring.

In addition to the intense thunder attribute aura, there was also a faint dragon might!

No wonder it was treasured by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan; just the surface effect of this ring already aligns well with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

After taking out the ring and infusing it with Soul Power to sense it, Su Wen made a preliminary judgment about the ring's abilities.

If he wasn't mistaken, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had likely used this ring as a special Spirit Tool, enhancing their control over the thunder attribute and amplifying their dragon might.

However, a top-tier Martial Spirit is already at the peak, and crossing this threshold to reach a higher level of Martial Spirit is incredibly difficult.

This ring might have that potential, but it's not something that can be achieved merely by using it as a Spirit Tool.

"This is likely a legacy Token similar to the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. Fully acknowledging it as one's own might significantly improve the Martial Spirit's quality, and even a top-tier Martial Spirit could exhibit some of the effects of a divine Martial Spirit."

The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is just a collection of simple, independent skill effects, but this ring is different. Its abilities can be integrated with the user's Martial Spirit.

The thunder attribute and intense dragon might made Su Wen very curious about the deity associated with this ring.

Perhaps this deity is more suitable for Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng than the Sea God.

"Let's go, Rongrong. We'll return to the sect for a while to cultivate. Once you break through to level fifty and absorb the fifth Spirit Ring, we can head to Sea God Island."

Once there, after Ning Rongrong undergoes the Sea God's trial, Su Wen will either continue to lead her to seek this new deity or let her stay on Sea God Island to cultivate while he goes alone to find this deity.

It's very far off.

For an ordinary Spirit Master, obtaining the ring and even fully acknowledging it might not be enough to use the ring to find the corresponding God's Inheritance.

But Su Wen is not ordinary.

He can not only sense the existence of the Power of Faith but has also already begun to mobilize and utilize it.

Although he can't yet use the Power of Faith in this ring to find the corresponding God's Inheritance, he feels that reaching this level won't take much longer.

Even though he hasn't received the reward for the fourth trial and lacks experience in using the Power of Faith, Su Wen believes in his research abilities. Even with just a touch of the Power of Faith's characteristics in his Spiritual Power and Soul Power, he can explore for a long time and develop many methods.

Among these, using the Power of Faith in the ring to search for the corresponding deity is also part of Su Wen's plan.

"Let's go."

"Mm."

Ning Rongrong's progress to level fifty was very quick.

Less than half a month after undergoing the Stone Divine Test, her bottleneck was broken, and her Soul Power smoothly reached level fifty.

At this point, she was only sixteen years old.

A sixteen-year-old Spirit King with such a training speed is among the top in the entire Continent. Apart from Su Wen, only Qian Renxue, who has innate level twenty Soul Power, might have achieved something similar.

"Rongrong, go ahead and absorb this Spirit Ring. This God Bestowed Spirit Ring will determine the final Spirit Ring age based on the absorbent's tolerance, and this tolerance is more dependent on Spiritual will, putting less pressure on the body. With the Spirit Ascension Method mitigating some of the Soul Power impact, your current physical condition allows you to try it directly."

Su Wen nearly mentioned that the only thing limiting your absorption of the Spirit Ring's age now is the level of Spiritual Power.

Ning Rongrong pouted, looking somewhat unhappy.

But she also knew that Su Wen was right.

The lack of Spiritual Power is not just her issue but a common problem among Spirit Masters in the Spirit Master World. Even Spirit Masters with a Spiritual attribute cannot withstand the Soul Shock from a fifty-thousand-year Spirit Ring in the Spirit King Realm.

Moreover, improving Spiritual Power is not an immediate process, and there is no technique like the Spirit Ascension Method to buffer the pressure.

Even though Su Wen has revealed the Visualization Method, providing guidance for Spirit Masters in cultivating Spiritual Power and opening the Sea of Consciousness, the cultivation of Spiritual Power remains a weak point in the Spirit Master World.

According to Su Wen's theory, it is actually possible to develop a Spiritual Power version of the Spirit Ascension Method.

In his theory, the Martial Spirit Space is a special dimensional space between a Spirit Master's soul and body, serving as a bridge that connects and maintains the Spirit Master's physical body and soul.

Soul Power can enter the Martial Spirit Space from a Spirit Master's body, and Spiritual Power can do the same.

Su Wen initially used Source Soul Power to locate the Sea of Consciousness and then impacted it to open it up. He frequently entered the Life and Death Arena, using this method to open his own Sea of Consciousness, and then utilized the Visualized World to demonstrate abilities beyond what would be expected from his six-year-old self.

However, Su Wen no longer needs such shortcuts, so he did not develop a Spiritual Power version of the Spirit Ascension Method.

After some thought, Su Wen considered the cost-effectiveness of developing a Spirit Ascension Method for Spiritual Power for Ning Rongrong.

It's not a matter of whether his effort is worthwhile, but whether it's worth Ning Rongrong's significant cost to absorb a Spirit Ring with several thousand years of age at this stage.

The answer is naturally that it is not cost-effective.

By the time one reaches Spirit King or Spirit Ancestor and absorbs the Fourth Spirit Ring, according to his Theory of Martial Spirit Growth, the Martial Spirit has already matured to a relatively advanced Realm.

At this point, the difficulty of further evolution of the Martial Spirit increases significantly, and the possibility of fundamental enhancement is almost nonexistent.

Before level forty, it involves major improvements and the essence of the Martial Spirit is elevated and evolved. However, from the Fifth Spirit Ring onwards, it becomes a matter of supplementation for the Martial Spirit.

Accumulation will eventually lead to success. To achieve truly epic evolution, a process of accumulation is essential.

A weak Martial Spirit, after evolving through the first four Spirit Rings, begins to accumulate when the Spirit Master reaches the Spirit King Realm. This is also the period of stagnation, marking a significant slowdown in the overall cultivation speed of Spirit Masters at this Realm.

At this stage, the increase in Martial Spirit strength can no longer keep up with the difficulty of Soul Power cultivation.

The improvement between the two has become disproportionate, which is why most Spirit Masters experience a decrease in cultivation speed by two, three, or even five to six times.
