After a moment of hesitation, Qian Duoduo immediately decided that opening the Upper Spirit Sea would be beneficial and harmless to him.
He must do it, and do it now!
If he opened two Spirit Seas, his combat power would surely surpass that of having only one.
Thinking of this, he trembled with excitement and immediately ran towards the cave behind the altar.
To open another Spirit Sea, he couldn't let the Sha Soul disturb him; he had to enter the cave.
Passing the altar, Qian Duoduo replaced the jade box on it with a new one.
These soul liquids were treasures and couldn't be wasted.
Before entering the cave, Qian Duoduo set up several shielding Formations at the entrance, blocked the opening with the yin peach wood that Sky Bear used to block the door, and then took out a bottle of Earthly Path Spirit Liquid and drank it.
Although he had entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Earthly Path Power still caused a strong swelling sensation in his Spiritual Veins.
However, with the previous experience, Qian Duoduo quickly controlled it with his Spiritual Qi and Spiritual Awareness.
Upon reaching his glabella, Qian Duoduo rotated the silvery-white Spirit Liquid to the left, and a silver axe reappeared in his Spiritual Veins.
“It works!” Qian Duoduo was overjoyed.
His biggest worry was that after Foundation Establishment, this Earthly Path Power would lose its effect on him.
The joyful thought had just flashed when a sharp pain immediately followed, and the veins on his forehead pulsed like cotton being fluffed.
Similar to opening the Lower Spirit Sea, it was painful! Truly painful! Heart-piercingly painful!
What was different was that this time the pain was mainly in his head, as if a giant axe was constantly chiseling and hacking at his brain.
“I can endure it! Once the Upper Spirit Sea opens, my Spiritual Awareness will be as vast as the sea, my Spirit Sea as vast as the sea, and all enemies will be defeated…”
Qian Duoduo muttered like a madman.
While constantly telling himself it didn't hurt, he pushed the Earthly Path Power to rotate, expanding his Spiritual Veins little by little, expanding and expanding further.
It hurt, it really hurt too much!
Qian Duoduo shouted loudly and began to sing, listening to what he was shouting and singing to distract himself and alleviate some of the pain.
“Boom.”
At his glabella, a circle took shape.
With the appearance of the Upper Spirit Sea, Qian Duoduo’s head seemed to be dug through, connecting with the heavens, as if light was shining through, and an oval Spirit Sea rotated, slowly filling with Spiritual Qi.
As the Upper Spirit Sea appeared, Qian Duoduo’s Spiritual Awareness surged instantly.
Although he couldn't push away the yin peach wood blocking the cave entrance, by following the cracks in the mountain wall, he saw tens of thousands of tiny fissures in the rocks, where Spiritual Qi slowly condensed and flowed down in trickles, forming the spring source of this cave.
The Foundation of the spring's birth lay in the tens of thousands of small fissures above it.
Quantitative change is the basis of qualitative change.
To open this second Spirit Sea, Qian Duoduo was drenched in sweat from the pain.
The ignorant are fearless.
In the Immortal Cultivation World, a Cultivator can only open one Spirit Sea in their lifetime.
To open two simultaneously, one must have abundant Spiritual Veins, sufficient Spiritual Qi, be able to withstand immense pain, and also have a Cultivator at the Heavenly Human Realm or above as a Protector, with no slightest interference allowed.
Someone like Qian Duoduo, who forced his way through it alone, was absolutely unique.
Had it not been for Cultivating the Eternal Wealth and Nobility Art and the Turning Stone into Gold Art, which made his Spiritual Veins far surpass those of ordinary people, he would have experienced his Spiritual Veins bursting and the Upper Spirit Sea collapsing the moment he attempted to open the second Spirit Sea, turning him into an idiot.
Lying on the ground, Qian Duoduo drank three bottles of Spirit Liquid consecutively, refilling the Spiritual Qi in his Spiritual Veins and Spirit Sea.
It was truly good to have two Spirit Seas.
This feeling was like fighting someone with two Magic Treasures simultaneously.
Calming himself, he folded his Spiritual Awareness, forming a Spiritual Awareness wall.
This wall was much more solid than during the friendly match.
His Spiritual Awareness transformed into a bow, then an arrow; drawing the bow and shooting the arrow, although not as swift as Nangong Nizi, was still a success.
His use of Spiritual Awareness as an offensive and defensive Magic Treasure was merely a simple imitation.
Nangong Nizi, however, had Cultivated a Mystic Art.
To imitate it to this extent was already quite good.
Moving the yin peach wood aside, Qian Duoduo felt that this Secret Realm was a bit brighter than before. He could even sense the Puppets hidden in the yin peach tree holes.
He tried to command the Sword Cultivator Puppets in the cave.
The Sword Cultivator Puppets indeed moved as commanded.
This Spiritual Awareness far surpassed the Qi Condensation Realm!
Sitting down in the Yin Peach Forest, Qian Duoduo tried to condense his Spiritual Awareness into a Magic Treasure to attack the Sha Souls that rushed in.
Attacking souls with souls was indeed the correct approach.
Previously, his attacks on Sha Souls were purely violent, using Spiritual Qi to destroy their vitality.
Now, the Magic Treasure condensed from Spiritual Awareness struck the heart of the Sha Soul, the original point from which the Sha Soul was generated.
The moment the Sha Soul's heart was struck, the Sha Soul began to decompose, reverting to a mass of lifeless soul liquid.
The vortex above the Yin Peach Forest still spun, and the nine Soul-Summoning Banners on the altar still fluttered.
In Qian Duoduo’s Spiritual Awareness, countless Sha Beasts and Sha Birds were still rushing from afar, wading through shallow streams, crossing small rivers, and arriving at the foot of the mountain.
From among the rocks, from above the forest, they ran, crawled, and flew towards the entrance.
A black tiger swaggered in through the Formation's entrance, and as soon as it entered the forest, it let out a furious roar, its entire body of black fur, like black silk, bristling, proclaiming its tiger might.
A high-grade Jin Beast! Within the Secret Realm, it alone occupied a high mountain, allowing no other Spirit Beasts to share it.
The tiger's roar, like waves, surged into the Yin Peach Forest. Some weaker Sha Souls were immediately pushed aside. A wide path opened up in the Yin Peach Forest.
And Qian Duoduo was right in the center of this wide path. He compressed his Spiritual Awareness, building it into a triangular wall to protect himself, causing the tiger's roar to split into two and pass by on both sides.
Before the black tiger could unleash its power again, Qian Duoduo lightly shouted, “Ten Coins Unite as One.”
A thick copper coin instantly appeared on the black tiger's neck.
The black tiger sensed something was wrong, let out several low growls, its neck bulged, and at the same time, its tiger claws repeatedly scratched, attempting to tear off the copper coin.
If Qian Duoduo wanted to quickly kill the black tiger, he only needed to clench his hand slightly.
But to test the power of his Spiritual Awareness, Qian Duoduo transformed his Spiritual Awareness into a long whip, and the whip's sheath passed through the copper coin.
With a flick of his hand, he pulled the long whip.
The black tiger felt its body being pulled, its four tiger claws quickly gripped the ground, and its body lowered, engaging in a tug-of-war with Qian Duoduo.
Its resistance was exactly what he wanted! The Upper Spirit Sea accelerated its rotation, and his Spiritual Awareness sharply retracted, pulling the long whip taut.
The black tiger swung its head repeatedly, retreating with immense dominance, trying to pull Qian Duoduo towards it.
Qian Duoduo first loosened the long whip, then sharply pulled it back.
The sharp inner edge of the copper coin cut through countless tiger hairs and into the black tiger's neck. The black tiger's body went limp from the pain, and it was pulled by Qian Duoduo.
“Come here!”
Qian Duoduo roared, and suddenly lifted the long whip.
The black tiger's eyes widened, and its four claws slammed down, refusing to move another step forward.
At the same time, its tiger head was also cut off by the copper coin, and a gush of tiger blood sprayed out.
This black tiger had a fierce spirit; it would rather die than surrender.
With the Upper Spirit Sea, Qian Duoduo’s use of the Eternal Wealth and Nobility Art’s “Ten Coins Unite as One” consumed much less energy.
He performed it ten times consecutively, yet felt little fatigue.
The Upper Spirit Sea and Lower Spirit Sea, one above and one below, spiraled within the Spiritual Veins, like two large lakes, constantly driving the Spiritual Veins to flow and continuously absorb the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth.
Two Spirit Seas were indeed much more satisfying than one.
Qian Duoduo sat cross-legged in the Yin Peach Forest, constantly brandishing his Golden Rooster Sword.
The Golden Rooster Sword was like a golden venomous bee, continuously harvesting Sha Souls.
Even Jin Beast-level Sha Souls couldn't withstand more than a few strikes before the Golden Rooster Sword.
Several hours passed, and Qian Duoduo felt that the soul liquid beneath the altar was almost full, so he put away his sword and walked over.
Sure enough, the soul liquid was full to the brim of the jade box.
Qian Duoduo filled two empty golden bottles with Earthly Path Power again.
The moment the golden bottles were filled, he suddenly thought—
Since both the Lower Spirit Sea and the Upper Spirit Sea had been opened, why not open the Middle Spirit Sea as well?
The Middle Spirit Sea was the Holy Land for Body Cultivators.
Opening the Middle Spirit Sea could allow one's entire body to undergo a complete metamorphosis, as if the body had been forged in a cauldron.
Qian Duoduo felt a bit of self-reproach for not having thought of this earlier.
If he had thought of opening three Spirit Seas, Qian Duoduo would have definitely asked Liu Boli if it was feasible.
But now, everything was up to him to decide.
“Just do it!” Qian Duoduo persuaded himself.
“No matter how painful, can it be more painful than opening the Upper Spirit Sea? Besides, I’ve already endured pain twice, so one more time is nothing!”
He mumbled and grumbled, convincing himself.
