In the Dou Po Firmament, Yao Lao, who was known as the Medicine Venerable, was not only an eight-rank alchemist known as the number one alchemist in the continent, but also possessed the strength of the peak of the Nine Turns Dou Venerable. However, why did Yao Lao's soul body only have the strength of Dou Zong after his death?
The soul hall has made great contributions
We all know that the main reason why Yao Lao died was because of the betrayal of his apprentice Han Feng, and the reason why Yao Lao's apprentice Han Feng betrayed Yao Lao was mainly because of the provocation of Yao Lao's junior brother Mu Gu, and Mu Gu was not only the younger brother of Yao Lao, but also the respected elder of the Soul Palace. Han Feng and Mu Gu were both alchemists, and it was impossible not to consider Yao Lao's soul when he backstabbed Yao Lao, coupled with the Soul Hall method that was the best at collecting soul bodies, Yao Lao's soul was definitely hit hard. Not only that, before Yao Lao died, in order to prevent the burning recipe from being obtained by Han Feng, who was ambitious as a wolf, he directly spontaneously combusted with the cold fire of the bone spirit, which was another heavy blow to the soul!
In fact, Yao Lao's soul was definitely awakened after sleeping in the Bone Inflammation Ring for a long time, and how could the damage caused by the two heavy injuries be recovered through deep sleep? Obviously, Yao Lao's soul body was at best an extremely weak remnant soul, and it was already very powerful to be able to exert the strength of the Dou Zong level!
Insufficient recovery
The Heavenly Fire Venerable only had the strength of the Five-Star Dou Zun during his lifetime, but after absorbing the fierce soul, he was able to exert the strength of the High Star Dou Sect. However, Yao Lao has never received such a high-quality recovery. According to the original book, Yao Lao's first awakening mainly relied on absorbing Xiao Yan's three-year fighting spirit. And relying on the Dou Qi cultivated by low-level cultivators to restore the soul body, its quality is definitely very low, and the swordsman even feels that Xiao Yan's Dou Qi probably has the only effect of stimulating and waking up Yao Lao, and the absorption for three consecutive years after that is more of Yao Lao's test of Xiao Yan. Otherwise, the Dou Qi at the Dou Qi stage would be able to restore the soul of the peak of Dou Zun, wouldn't it seem that the Soul Hall that offended the alchemist everywhere to collect souls was very stupid?
Yao Lao's second awakening relied on the colorful phantom spirit saliva prepared by Xiao Yan, and the third awakening relied on the repair liquid refined by Xiao Yan with high-grade medicinal materials. Whether it was a medicinal herb or a medicinal liquid, it was obviously much stronger than Xiao Yan's Dou Qi, and it also restored Yao Lao's soul body to the strength of the Dou Zong. However, the trauma suffered by Yao Lao's soul was much higher than that of the Heavenly Fire Venerable, and the recovery obtained was not as good as that of the Heavenly Fire Venerable, and the strength it could exert was naturally only at the level of the Dou Zong.
Limited by Xiao Yan's strength
As mentioned earlier, Yao Lao's soul has never really fully recovered, and when Yao Lao needs to exert his strength, most of it is because of Xiao Yan. And the reason why Yao Lao appeared to accept Xiao Yan and took Xiao Yan to practice and practice was mainly to give himself a chance to resurrect. Therefore, except when he reached a truly desperate situation, how could Yao Lao exert all his strength regardless of the severely damaged soul?
What's more, Yao Lao's possession of Xiao Yan to exert his strength is also limited by Xiao Yan's own strength. Unless Yao Lao didn't care about Xiao Yan's body, even if Yao Lao's soul was not injured, it would be impossible for him to use Xiao Yan's body to exert his Douzun-level strength.
The combat power expands in the later stages of the plot
In the early stage of Dou Breaking the Firmament, the Dou Huang strong were all terrifying, and the Dou Wang strong could be included in the top ten powerhouses of the empire, and the Dou Zong was a legendary existence. Yao Lao's soul physical strength was already very terrifying. In the later stage of plot development, Dou Zong barely had the qualifications to appear, Dou Zun and Dou Sheng emerged in an endless stream, and the added nine-turn Douzun setting was several times stronger than ordinary Douzun. And with the level of Yao Lao's peak Douzun, compared to Yun Shan, which was particularly weak in the previous Dou Sect, it naturally seemed a little outrageous.
Do you think that in the Dou Po Firmament, why did the soul body only exert the strength of the Dou Zong level with the cultivation of the peak Dou Zun level of Yao Lao?
