Chapter 262: Updating the “Gears” "What a cunning adult!" Zhou Qing wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, smiled and didn't care. However, Zhou Qing was actually quite curious about why the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda spirit could only be cultivated to level seventy-nine, so that the disciples who possessed this spirit could no longer break through to the Soul Douluo level. First of all, the humans in this world, not to mention the deeper microscopic constituent particles, should be no different from him and the humans in Tang San’s previous life in terms of the basic macroscopic structure of the human body, limbs, brain, internal organs, blood circulation, meridians, acupoints, etc. In theory, as long as one masters an advanced meditation method to circulate soul power, one should be able to continuously improve one's soul power instead of being restricted by the martial soul. This was what Zhou Qing had been thinking before. But that was based on Tang San's Xuan Tian Gong, so it was not accurate. This is because, in this world, there are two systems for circulating soul power in the human body! The first is the meridian circulatory system in the human body. The second is the soul power operation system inside the martial soul itself that is used to maintain the growth of the martial soul and is not directly controlled by the soul master.
The two operating systems complement each other and can jointly promote the continuous improvement of a soul master's realm. If there is a conflict between the two, it will affect the progress of mankind. Why is Tang San’s Xuantian Gong so effective? Because Xuantian Gong is a Taoist practice, the soul power cultivated from it has a neutral and peaceful attribute, and can match almost any martial soul. If the soul power operation system of the martial soul itself is compared to a pre-formed gear, then the Xuantian Gong is a gear that can be polished and processed later. The method of cultivating soul power that the martial soul passes on to the soul master is nothing more than the martial soul itself starting to operate, forcibly driving the innate soul power to operate in the human body, thereby constructing a gear that is compatible with the martial soul's gear. The difference between the two is that - For the soul masters in this world, the "gear" of their martial soul starts to turn first, which in turn drives the "gear" of their human body to turn. In the original work, Tang San, who possessed the Xuan Tian Gong, had been turning the "gears" of the human body from the very beginning, so that after awakening his martial soul, he used his own "gears" as a basis to turn the "gears" of his martial soul. The martial soul can influence a person's character, which is reflected very clearly in the original novel. This is because the soul masters in this world are actively led by the martial soul from the beginning of their cultivation. Even if the soul masters take control of the initiative in the future, the influence they received in their childhood is deeply rooted. But Tang San in the original work is different. He practiced Xuantian Gong from the very beginning and took control of the initiative. As a result, in his later growth process, only the environment he was in and the people he came into contact with could affect his thinking to a certain extent, and the martial spirit itself could not affect his temperament at all. There are many people in the Holy Soul Village who possess the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and they all have gentle personalities. Judging from the performance of the Haotian Sect in the original novel, the owners of the Clear Sky Hammer spirit are all very stubborn and arrogant - it is possible that this is deliberately cultivated by the sect, but Zhou Qing is sure that the spirit itself must have also influenced part of their temperament. But Tang San in the original novel seemed not to be affected in any way by the two martial spirits, Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer, and was in control of everything by himself. Now Tang San has actively sensed the two martial souls and mastered the two major skills brought by the Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer. His personality should have undergone some changes that he himself cannot detect, but he still focuses on the Mysterious Sky Skill, so the impact can be ignored. Back to topic. Why can't Ning Fengzhi break through to level 80? Judging from the situation of the two gear systems in the soul master's body, Ning Fengzhi's own system for cultivating soul power is no longer compatible with the gears of the martial soul's own soul power... or in other words, the "durability" of one of them has reached its limit. Although these two "gears" can still work together, that is, the martial soul can be used to perform soul skills, but in terms of promoting the continued growth of the martial soul, it is willing but unable. In fact, Ning Fengzhi's soul power is still improving, but the improvement is very slow, so that he will not be able to cross the bottleneck from level 79 to level 80 in his lifetime. Theoretically, if Ning Fengzhi's life span exceeds three hundred years, according to his current cultivation speed, he would be able to break through to level eighty in three hundred years. "You are really smart!" Ning Fengzhi was amazed at Zhou Qing's comparison of the two ways of circulating soul power, the martial soul and the human body, to two gears embedded together! The human body has a way of circulating soul power. The martial soul itself also has a set of unique soul power circulation paths.
All the major sects, families, and Spirit Hall have already noticed this, but no one has been able to describe it in such a simple and intuitive image. Two gears that fit together and move together? How appropriate! Ning Fengzhi also looked forward to what constructive suggestions Zhou Qing could come up with. "So, if Uncle Ning wants to break through level 79, he needs to change gears." Zhou Qing smiled confidently, "There are two ways. The first is to give up your current way of cultivating soul power and switch to another meditation method that can improve soul power faster." Ning Fengzhi frowned. And Zhou Qing also knew that he would never consider this! reason? The soul masters in this world cultivate their soul power by relying on their martial souls, which means that every soul master cultivates their soul power in a different way. Even if they are the same martial soul, the difference in quality will lead to differences in the details of operating soul power. Therefore, without Tang San's Xuan Tian Gong, or Zhou Qing's Xiantian Neijing Tu, no soul master would rashly change his or her method of cultivation. Unless they have really reached a bottleneck and can no longer break through, they will try to find a soul master whose martial soul is similar to their own and of higher quality than their own, and seek the other party's soul power cultivation method for reference. And Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial spirit is already top-notch, who else can he look for? The cultivation methods of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo are certainly stronger, but can the cultivation methods suitable for the Seven Kill Sword and Bone Dragon Martial Spirit be compatible with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower? It will only lead to greater conflict! Moreover, if he really found a martial soul that was similar to the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda's but of a higher quality auxiliary martial soul, Ning Fengzhi would have to put aside the question of whether he could break through first, and consider how to recruit the soul master who might threaten the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda's auxiliary position in the soul master world into the sect, or whether he could try to kill him. "It seems that Uncle Ning is in a difficult situation. Then I have a second suggestion." "Oh?" "It's better to replace the gears, or in other words, upgrade the gears." Since Ning Fengzhi himself could not find a method that was more suitable for him to cultivate his soul power, and Zhou Qing could not give him the Xiantian Neijingtu and Xuantian Gong, then Ning Fengzhi could only think of a way to complete the transformation of his martial soul. Just like Ning Rongrong in the original novel, with the help of the magical Qiluo tulip, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower was transformed into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower, so that the gears of the martial soul itself were updated, and the "gear system" that drove Ning Rongrong to cultivate soul power was also updated, greatly improving the efficiency of improving soul power.
