Transcendent Insight: A Dimensional Journey Starting from Douluo

Wu Tong examined the meridian and acupoint map, pondered for a moment, then reached out and pulled at it.

A translucent blue panel appeared beside the other "Wu Tong," sleek and systematic in design.

But this was no system—it was merely a tool Wu Tong had conjured based on his own intellect to better understand the abilities he had mastered.

It meticulously recorded the experimental data "Wu Tong" had undergone, along with Wu Tong's personal logs:

"Second year at the Prince's Mansion: I can no longer practice the Red Wheel Sutra. Every attempt burns my meridians and acupoints. Why? Is my body too weak? Or is the method flawed? I'll focus on physical training first."

"Third year: Still no progress. Each practice ends with my body exploding from overload. Am I missing something? Perhaps a medicinal bath could help."

"Fourth year: Why is this energy so volatile? Why won't it obey in the human body? Wait… 'human'? I have an idea…"

Supplementary Theoretical Notes:According to Taoist philosophy, the human body comprises three elements—essence, qi, and spirit—corresponding to the physical body, energy, and consciousness.

My original Red Wheel Sutra focused solely on energy accumulation, neglecting the growth of spirit and body. Though I trained my physique, its progress couldn't match the surge of true qi. After a year, my body, though stronger, remained insufficient. The only remaining flaw? My spirit was too weak to control such vast energy. Finally, the root cause is clear. Next priority: devise a method to refine the spirit.

"Final day of the fourth year: Success! With the Purple Demon Eye as reference, I've created the Sun Visualization Diagram, a spirit-refining technique harnessing solar energy. It perfectly complements the Red Wheel Sutra."

"Fifth year, first day: 'Spirit' and 'qi' methods are complete. Now, to devise an 'essence' technique—but how? For spirit, I had the Purple Demon Eye; for qi, the Mysterious Heavenly Skill and meditation methods. But physical training? Most in Douluo Continent rely on martial souls for strength. This is a true challenge."

"Mid-fifth year: How could I forget vibration-based training like the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound? Now I have a reference."

"Sixth year: Success! The Morning Body Forging Technique—a solar-powered physical regimen using the sun's fluctuations to temper the body. It aligns with the spirit and qi methods. Testing begins… No operational errors. Physical limits pushed… No internal damage. The body-refining method is complete!"

"Mid-sixth year: Essence, qi, and spirit are finally balanced. Now, to merge the three into a unified practice."

"Late sixth year: Integration successful. Testing for flaws… Hmm? Qian Renxue summons me. I'll resume later."

The logs ended there, with volumes of experimental data sandwiched between—records of Wu Tong's painstaking methodology.

Reviewing the records, Wu Tong's eyes gleamed with anticipation as he watched the other "Wu Tong" before him.

As "Wu Tong" practiced the newly fused technique, the artificial sun in the dream space showered solar energy onto him. After a hundred cycles at maximum intensity, no instability arose—only steady improvement in all physical attributes. Wu Tong exhaled in relief. The unified technique, now dubbed the Red Wheel Heart Sutra, operated flawlessly.

Perhaps this would qualify as a premium cultivation method in some mid-tier martial worlds, he mused.

Dispelling the soul skill, Wu Tong awoke and began practicing the Red Wheel Heart Sutra in reality. As solar energy poured into him, the bottleneck that had stifled him for years finally shattered.

Bang!

A muffled explosion echoed within his body as Wu Tong breached the Level 40 barrier, ascending to quasi-Soul Master status.

"A breakthrough? Perfect. Tomorrow, I'll visit Grandpa Dugu for a soul ring."

The Next Day

Wu Tong arrived at the Dugu residence with his guards.

Upon entering, a robust yet aged voice boomed—laced with sarcasm:

"Ah, if it isn't the grandmaster himself! To what do I owe this rare honor? Or must I personally invite you every time?" The last words were ground out through clenched teeth.

Wu Tong glanced up to see a wiry old man in his sixties or seventies glaring at him. Unlike typical elders with grayed hair, this man's locks were dark green. His gaunt face, sunken cheeks, and serpentine emerald eyes radiated a predatory aura, and his simple gray robes barely concealed the faint腥 scent clinging to him.

This was none other than Wu Tong's unconventional friend—Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

"Old man, your tone suggests I'm unwelcome. Should I rescind my research on curing Sister Yanzi, then?" Wu Tong teased, unfazed.

"No, no—just a joke! Don't mind this old fool, you little monster," Dugu Bo backpedaled instantly, slinging an arm around Wu Tong's neck in a comradely vise.

"Release me first. Your own condition requires rare herbs I lack, but Sister Yanzi's poisoning can be mitigated by sacrificing some of her potential. It won't kill her." Wu Tong squirmed free.

Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed. "How did you guess?"

"Guess what?" Wu Tong feigned ignorance.

"Spare me the act. You'd never come empty-handed. You've already devised a cure for me—admit it."

Cornered, Wu Tong relented: "Your poison's toxicity should've prevented you from reaching Titled Douluo. Yet here you are—unharmed. That means you've found a treasure land to suppress it."

"Three possibilities: the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest's core (ruled out—it's guarded by two Beast Kings), the Fountain of Purification (which would've cured you both outright, yet you hesitate? Unlikely), or… the legendary Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. A natural marvel where extreme heat and cold converge, nurturing rare herbs and neutralizing toxins."

"Well? Am I right?" Wu Tong smirked as Dugu Bo gaped.

"…Yes. The place matches your description. My toxins are suppressed there—that's how I survived to this rank." With a resigned sigh, Dugu Bo laid his cards on the table.
