Chapter 13: Planting the Seeds
🕑 Added 2025-02-27 10:41:17 +0000 UTCThis is actually not a doubt that only Xu Yuan has.
This was a doubt he had in his previous life, but he suddenly thought of this after he had just broken through his soul power.
“Oh?” Mu Ye was a little surprised that Xu Yuan was so troubled by this question, and asked curiously, “What do you think?”
“I actually had this doubt before I awakened my martial soul. At that time, I thought that soul power training was a process of expansion, expanding the meridians in the body, or expanding the Dantian. When meditating and practicing, it is expanding outward, so it is difficult to make progress. Restoring soul power is the recovery of the already expanded part, so it can be done easily and quickly.”
“What now?” Mu Ye asked.
“Now I am practicing by myself. At least now my meridians are not full yet, and there is still room in my Dantian. There is no process of expansion.”
This is normal thinking logic.
Xu Yuan actually had a very detailed understanding of the soul master’s training process, and also knew the details of high-level soul master training. He had long known that what he said before was unreasonable.
He raised this point at this moment just to give Mu Ye his own thought process.
Mu Ye nodded, and was very satisfied that Xu Yuan had these ideas.
“You’re actually right.”
Right?
Xu Yuan was stunned. He looked at Mu Ye, somewhat puzzled.
“The cultivation of soul power is a process of expansion, but what is expanded is not the meridians or Dantian, but the limitations of the martial soul.”
“Limitations of martial spirit?” Xu Yuan murmured, thinking.
“What determines the upper limit of soul power is the carrying capacity of the martial soul, or the control ability. This is also what the soul master meditates on to develop.” Mu Ye further explained: “However, this so-called carrying capacity has nothing to do with the quality of the martial soul. It’s just that its upper limit and the difficulty of development are related to the quality of the martial soul.”
Then, Mu Ye gave an example that sounded familiar to Xu Yuan.
“A strong martial soul can gradually unlock the restrictions of the martial soul and continuously improve its soul power. However, a weak martial soul may not be able to support the soul power of level 30 even if there is no so-called restriction and it exerts its full carrying capacity, so the soul master will be trapped at level 29 for life.”
“But, does the carrying or control of soul power really depend entirely on the martial soul?” Xu Yuan asked.
Xu Yuan still didn’t have a thorough understanding of this more in-depth theory. After all, this specific theory was not described in his previous life’s novels.
Mu Ye shook his head: “Of course not. A soul master’s body and mental strength are strong, and they can share the pressure of the martial soul, but it is limited after all. If you want to get rid of this problem brought by the innate nature of the martial soul, there is no other way except to use natural materials and treasures to promote the mutation or evolution of the martial soul.”
“Your father’s research is actually at the forefront of solving this problem.”
Solve the problem of carrying capacity in the form of a companion soul.
Mu Ye changed the subject.
“In fact, the process of opening up the meridians and Dantian that you mentioned does exist, but it only starts when you reach the 30th level of Soul Master. At that stage, the soul power in the soul master’s body basically fills up the meridians, and then the gaseous soul power must be compressed to form liquid soul power. The soul power cultivated in the subsequent training is actually still in gaseous form, but it gradually turns into liquid under the operation and compression of the soul master. But there is no doubt that gaseous and liquid coexist, and then the meridians are refilled, and then transformed again, and filled again, and repeated until the meridians are filled with all the liquid soul power."
“From level 30 to this stage, each compression phase after filling up soul power will slightly expand the soul master’s meridians and Dantian. After the liquid soul power fills the meridians, the liquid soul power will continue to compress, becoming more and more viscous, and the quality will become higher and higher. This stage will continue to expand the meridians and Dantian.”
“Different soul masters progress differently in these stages, mainly influenced by their martial souls, the meditation methods they practice, and even the quality of their souls.”
Mu Ye described his personal experience of cultivation to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan seemed to be thinking about something.
Combined with Mu Ye’s description, he always felt that he was touched by something.
By carefully recalling and constantly reviewing the two stages, he grasped the key points.
“Teacher, are these two stages inseparable from the so-called upper limit of carrying capacity determined by the quality of the martial spirit?”
Before level 30, you will be trapped because your martial spirit is too weak, because there is no room for development. Is it the same after level 30?
Mu Ye was stunned, nodded, and then shook his head.
“Generally speaking, after breaking through level 30, the soul power has already become liquid. Before the meridians in the whole body are filled with liquid soul power, the demand for the upper limit of the carrying capacity of the martial soul is not so obvious.”
The change from gas to liquid causes a sudden change in the carrying capacity requirement of level 30.
So it will be a hurdle.
“What happens after that? What happens after the liquid soul power is filled? After that, the soul power needs to be compressed. Although the soul power is all liquid, there are also differences in quality. What are the data at this stage?”
Xu Yuan emphasized the data at this time.
Mu Ye frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.
“You still have to go to the Spirit Pagoda to get the most accurate data. As for what I’ve seen, it seems that there is no limit on the quality of the martial soul. I personally think that it is because the soul masters generally have at least four spirit rings at this time, and the quality of the martial soul has been significantly improved with the improvement of the spirit rings.”
Xu Yuan still had a thoughtful expression.
“Xiao Yuan, do you think that the process of developing the meridians and Dantian is also positively affecting the quality of the martial soul and subtly improving it?”
“That’s right.” Xu Yuan was not surprised. He did not regard Mu Ye, who was able to cultivate to level 94, as a fool. Everyone has thoughts. Everyone can think of this kind of problem without being told, but at least he is not the only one who can think of it.
“There should be some. Some people even proposed to develop a method to actively improve the quality of martial spirits using this process, but there should be no results yet.”
Even if there is, it is only under the guidance of this basic theory that natural resources can be used more efficiently, so that the effect of natural resources on improving the quality of martial arts can be maximized.
There is no real secret technique that does not require the cooperation of natural materials and treasures.
“Teacher, what if I carry out this aspect simultaneously with the forging of the soul?”
Mu Ye was stunned.
“That’s up to you. You can think about these ideas on your own, but they can’t affect your normal practice and study.”
Xu Yuan nodded.
Mu Ye took out a stack of information.
“Don’t think about anything else for now. You should start learning mecha design. These are some of the basics of soul guide arrays. You should try to digest them recently. After you finish reading these, I will give you the actual internal principle structure diagram of the mecha for you to study.”
Xu Yuan took the information and didn’t find it difficult.
Ever since his martial spirit awakened, his mind has been unprecedentedly clear and he doesn’t feel tired at all when thinking. These days, he has been following Zhenhua and listening to Zhenhua explain the theory of forging, and he has no burden in understanding it.
The information on the designs of these mechas should be similar.
