After eating and drinking his fill, Tian Hao folded a wet towel and placed it on Huo Yuhao's sweaty forehead, then naturally placed his palm over his eyes, circulating his Soul Power to fuse with Huo Yuhao's Soul Power.
During this time, he had explained the Martial Soul Fusion Skill to Huo Yuhao and made attempts, already able to achieve preliminary Soul Power Fusion, which was preparation for the present moment.
This was the foundation for controlling others' Origin to evolve Rune structures; otherwise, if one couldn't even activate and control another's Origin Power, how could they evolve Rune structures?
As the Soul Power fused and guided, Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul was activated, and the Origin Power within it became active, then Tian Hao guided a trace of it to evolve into a Rune structure.
Evolving a Rune structure doesn't necessarily require complete Origin Power; a small amount is enough.
The method of evolution was also relatively simple: using Origin Power fused with Soul Power to condense those bone runes, selecting those with a good fit to keep, then gathering the condensed bone runes together, and using the Spirit Eye Martial Soul itself to guide the evolution of a fitting Rune structure.
The difficulty of this step lay in guiding the Origin Power to condense into bone rune structures, which was very taxing on the mind, as there were too many basic bone runes in the Original True Solution, a total of three thousand, and even those compatible with the spiritual attribute numbered over a hundred.
This arduous process was only completed at dawn.
"It really worked!"
Looking at the eye-shaped Spirit Eye Origin Rune that separated from Huo Yuhao's eyes, Tian Hao could barely suppress his excitement.
The Original True Solution was the only cultivation system applicable to this world at this stage, and if it succeeded, he could quickly complete the stage of discreet development and then intervene in the plot.
Among other things, he absolutely had to participate in the Soul Master Competition a year later; that was a significant plot point, and changing it would surely yield a large amount of Destiny Power.
After examining the Spirit Eye Origin Rune, Tian Hao integrated it into his eyes. Because Soul Power Fusion served as a medium, the rejection was not strong, only a stinging sensation, but it was continuous.
"It's indeed not that easy to fuse. Perhaps I'll have to continue nurturing it with Soul Power and Qi and blood for a period, and the compatibility will increase."
Seeing that the rejection could not be eliminated for the time being, Tian Hao separated the Spirit Eye Rune and sealed it in his lower Dantian, enveloping it with Soul Power for nourishment.
He took a breath, then guided the Origin Power of his Battle Axe Martial Soul to condense into bone runes, evolving a Rune structure.
Because it was his own Martial Soul, he had perfect control, and coupled with a month of continuous attempts and exploration, the construction was much easier than activating Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul Origin.
The reason it wasn't manifested externally but constructed within the Dantian was that it was a Weapon Martial Soul. If manifested, its strength would be very high, making it difficult to activate the internal Origin Power, so doing it internally was just right.
Fortunately, he had consumed two Bodhi Leaves in the Shrouding the Heavens World before, which activated his divinity. This effect was at the consciousness level and was brought into this world, allowing him to perform inner sight, which was necessary for operations within his body.
By early morning, the Battle Axe Martial Soul Origin had condensed into a Rune structure, suspended in the middle Dantian in his chest. Even the Origin Power of the first Soul Ring, which was attached and fused to it, had transformed into a Rune structure, and they were even more tightly interlocked, even somewhat fused.
After the Soul Ring Origin Power transformed into a Rune structure, it actively absorbed the Origin Qi from the outside world, guiding it into the blood, and then, as the blood circulated throughout the body, it transformed into his own vital essence, which is what is called Qi and blood in this world.
In this world, Qi and blood can also be Cultivated, and even Tang Wulin, ten thousand years later, condensed a Qi and Blood Soul Ring and a Qi and Blood Soul Core.
With the nourishment of the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi and the circulation of Qi and blood, Tian Hao immediately felt comfortable throughout his body, and even his stinging eyes felt much better.
"Indeed, it can be Cultivated like the Blood Moving Realm."
Feeling the warm current of Qi and blood surging within his body, Tian Hao's mouth was almost grinning to his ears.
He then manifested the Battle Axe Martial Soul Origin, forming a tangible battle axe.
The battle axe's form at this moment was very different from before. Because the Soul Ring Origin Rune had fused more deeply with the battle axe, it led to changes in the Martial Soul's form.
First, it became larger, now a full meter long, making it a two-handed axe.
Secondly, the single axe blade transformed into a double axe blade, creating a double-edged battle axe, and there was also a fiery red bird-shaped pattern on the axe body. The axe blades resembled the wings of that bird, and the overall appearance was like a Flamingo spreading its wings.
This bird image was the source of his first Soul Ring; it was a Flamingo, hunted for him in the Star Dou Great Forest by the Holy Spirit Church Soul Master who took him to the Star Luo Empire as an undercover agent after his training was complete.
At that time, that Flamingo also had a mother with ten thousand years of cultivation, and they were then hunted, almost dying there.
Now, the Soul Ring Origin has transformed into a Rune structure and deeply fused with the Martial Soul, changing the Martial Soul's structure, much like the Weapon Martial Souls in Douluo Dalu 1, such as the Dragon Snake's dragon head staff and snake head staff, which possessed characteristics of both Beast Martial Souls and Weapon Martial Souls.
This type of Martial Soul has another characteristic: the Soul Skills formed can act upon oneself like Beast Martial Souls, for example, Meng Yiran's snake body Soul Skill.
This kind of change is not strange. Martial Souls will change when they absorb Soul Rings from overly powerful Soul Beasts, or when the Fusion is too deep. For example, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul in the Early Stage was completely transformed by the erosion of those several Soul Rings.
"If I develop it, perhaps it can possess me like a Beast Martial Soul, but I need to further fuse and stabilize the Soul Ring Origin Rune first."
With a plan in mind, just then, Huo Yuhao, who was in a coma, woke up.
After all, he was a level ten Soul Master, and his physical fitness was much better than ordinary people, so sobering up would naturally be faster.
"You're awake. How do you feel?"
Tian Hao, on the bed next to him, asked with concern.
"I'm fine, just a bit of a headache."
Shaking his head, Huo Yuhao felt his mind was numb and a little painful.
"That's normal. Drinking more water will relieve it."
Pouring a glass of warm water and handing it over, Tian Hao knew that it was caused by the body consuming a large amount of water to break down alcohol, leading to dehydration in the brain.
Huo Yuhao took the glass and gulped it down, feeling a bit better. Then he quickly got up and went to the bathroom, feeling like his bladder was about to burst; he had also been woken up by the urge.
"I'm going to sleep for a bit. Wake me up at noon; I need to go out and inquire about how to contact the Body Sect."
After Huo Yuhao came out of the bathroom, Tian Hao greeted him and then lay down to sleep.
Evolving runes was very taxing on the mind, and he needed good rest.
He slept until noon, when Tian Hao was woken up by Huo Yuhao.
He went to the bathroom, simply washed his face, and then ate some dry rations.
"You continue to rest and adjust your mental and physical state to the best. I'll go inquire about who to contact to reach the Body Sect."
After telling Huo Yuhao, he left.
This really required some inquiry, as the Body Sect was too mysterious. He only knew that there seemed to be a princess in the Tianhun Empire's imperial family who was from the Body Sect.
But it didn't matter, as long as he could trick Huo Yuhao into going to the Body Sect.
Eventually, he inquired about Princess Vina's residence in the Tianhun Empire and sent a letter to the gate guards before returning to the hotel to wait for news.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao was eating in the restaurant area on the first floor of the hotel, and there were two other people opposite him, the three of them chatting and laughing.
It was a boy and a girl, looking to be around fourteen or fifteen years old, which gave Tian Hao a bad premonition.
"Yu Hao, are these your friends?"
He walked over and sat down, asking, having some guesses about the identities of these two.
He still met them. Is this the inertia of fate?
