In truth, Chen Ming did have a direction for cultivating his vital energy and blood.
The fusion of soul and body!
The body was tangible and corporeal, while the soul was intangible and incorporeal. If the two could fuse with each other, it might benefit both the strengthening of the body and Spiritual Materialization.
For Chen Ming, so-called Spiritual Materialization meant reclaiming everything that belonged to him.
This was easy enough to accomplish. He merely needed to continuously expand his Sea of Consciousness so that he could gradually fuse back the source of his Spiritual Sense that had been sealed within his Soul Martial Soul.
And with the support of his body, he could fuse an excessive amount of power from the Soul Martial Soul, first raising his Spiritual Power beyond the capacity of his Sea of Consciousness, then using that surplus Spiritual Power to expand his Sea of Consciousness even faster.
The moment the Soul Martial Soul achieved compatibility with the Body Martial Soul, Chen Ming's life in this world was destined to be far from ordinary.
"What is your other martial soul?"
"My other martial soul is the Reincarnation Disk."
Chen Ming summoned the Reincarnation Disk.
Du Busi observed it for quite a while but failed to discern any specific traits. Still, he could always sense that there was something extraordinary about this Reincarnation Disk.
"Also, my Body Martial Soul may be different from ordinary Body Martial Souls."
Chen Ming appeared somewhat "hesitant."
"Different?" Du Busi frowned as he stared at Chen Ming.
How could it be different?
Besides, how many Body Martial Souls had this brat even seen?
"Teacher, feel it for yourself."
Chen Ming did not explain outright. Instead, he quietly attached the Soul Martial Soul to his body before activating his Body Martial Soul.
The Soul Martial Soul itself was in a state akin to attachment, so Chen Ming could effortlessly deploy it together with his Body Martial Soul.
At that moment, he seamlessly integrated the Soul Martial Soul's presence into the Body Martial Soul. Of course, this was not a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. He had merely hidden it and released a faint ripple of Spiritual Power.
Yet it was precisely that faint ripple of Spiritual Power that made Du Busi look as though he had seen a ghost.
"Your body has the Mental attribute?"
Good heavens! Having cultivated Body Martial Souls his entire life, Du Busi had never imagined that a Body Martial Soul could possess the Mental attribute.
Generally speaking, regardless of which body part a Body Martial Soul represented, it could indeed possess certain elemental inclinations. For example, a heart martial soul might have an affinity for the fire attribute and be suited for Yang Attribute Secret Techniques, while leg or right-hand martial souls could follow speed-oriented paths.
Then there were people like Du Busi, who possessed high poison resistance and could cultivate Poison Cultivation.
But aside from a few regions related to the mind, such as the brain, Du Busi had never seen a Body Martial Soul with the Mental attribute.
A Body Martial Soul consisting of an entire body could actually possess the Mental attribute?
Was the brain region exerting its influence?
Or could it be...
Thinking of a possibility, Du Busi's dark green pupils abruptly contracted.
His breathing then became rapid.
"Your martial soul's awakening level must be extremely high. It may even already show preliminary signs of Second Awakening. This Mental attribute could be the direction of your Martial Soul Second Awakening."
He took a deep breath, his tone extraordinarily solemn.
"Your Martial Soul Second Awakening will not strengthen your martial soul's power, but expand it! It will be a true reawakening after an incomplete initial awakening!"
As Du Busi spoke, his tone grew increasingly excited. Coupled with his expression, he seemed almost frenzied.
"That's right. You awakened on your own, so an incomplete awakening is entirely possible."
"Little Ming, your martial soul is not merely your physical body. It may even encompass your soul. You simply have not awakened it completely yet. Now, you need a Second Awakening to fully manifest it! Once you complete the Second Awakening, your Body Martial Soul will become the most complete Body Martial Soul!"
"Moreover, after your Second Awakening, your martial soul state will differ from ours after our Second Awakening. Instead, it will return to the state our Body Martial Souls had at the very beginning. Like us, you can undergo another awakening after the Second Awakening—a Third Awakening!"
My disciple Chen Ming had the potential for a Third Awakening!
Chen Ming was gripped by the shoulders by Du Busi, but he was not overly excited.
He actually knew that this supposed ability to undergo a Third Awakening was false, and that the most complete Body Martial Soul was false as well. He merely possessed two martial souls formed from the two halves of the most complete Body Martial Soul.
Of course, once he fused the two martial souls in the future, he could claim it was Martial Soul Evolution. As for a true second evolution, he could also follow Du Busi's explanation and call it a Third Awakening.
Chen Ming could reveal the matter of Twin Martial Souls to others, but he would absolutely never tell anyone about his Triple Martial Souls. That was the foundation of his Reincarnation, his greatest secret. Besides, there was no point in revealing the Soul Martial Soul. His cultivation and battles would not make use of it!
The Soul Martial Soul, which could not be revealed, could only be concealed under the guise of Second Awakening.
"Now I don't even know how to arrange your martial soul cultivation." Du Busi began to fret.
The good news: his disciple's talent was monstrously heaven-defying, perhaps the greatest talent the Body Sect had ever seen!
The bad news: he did not know how to teach him.
Chen Ming, however, did not mind.
What he needed from joining the Body Sect was not guidance. More than that, he needed this platform, a teacher to rely on, and—resources.
"Sigh, why don't you try the Yang Spring first? I feel that part of your Reincarnation Disk martial soul is highly compatible with the Yang Spring's power. Your affinity in this aspect should be quite high."
Du Busi found a Yang Attribute Secret Technique and began explaining the key points of secret technique cultivation to Chen Ming.
"The reason our Body Sect chose to establish itself here is because of this Yang Spring. Ten Thousand Suns Valley naturally gathers the purest Yang energy, which eventually formed a Yang Spring within the valley."
"The power within the Yang Spring can nourish the body. It is the foundation of our Body Sect. You have not yet cultivated with the Yang Spring, and your first time will yield the greatest benefits. It is also the easiest time to successfully attempt a secret technique."
Yang Spring?
In his perception, there truly was an area of scorching heat.
"Guide the Yang energy through your body. Beginning from your lower abdomen, circulate it through these acupoints in sequence, gather it at your heart, then let it flow through your entire body via the blood."
As he spoke, Du Busi injected Soul Power into Chen Ming's body, guiding him to locate the corresponding acupoints and meridians.
As he guided him, Du Busi became increasingly alarmed.
He had checked Chen Ming's physical condition at the village entrance, but his focus had been on Chen Ming's meridian quality and physical strength. Instead, he had overlooked the condition of every meridian within Chen Ming's body.
Now, as his Soul Power traveled through Chen Ming's body, he became more and more astonished.
These meridians were simply perfect!
There was not the slightest obstruction.
Chen Ming had given him far too many surprises.
These conditions were no longer a matter of whether they had reached the limit.
Chen Ming's situation even made Du Busi feel that the limit was merely his starting point. His future should be to challenge those illusory, ethereal gods!
After finishing the guidance and confirming that Chen Ming had fully grasped every detail of the secret technique, he led Chen Ming out of the Skill Transmission Tower and toward the Yang Spring.
No one else could hear the conversation between master and disciple in the Skill Transmission Tower. Du Busi had shielded them with Soul Power throughout.
Yet even so, Du Busi still feared that Chen Ming's circumstances would be exposed. Along the way, he repeatedly instructed Chen Ming not to reveal the Mental attribute of his Body Martial Soul again. If his Spiritual Power was exposed, he was to attribute the Mental attribute to the Reincarnation Disk.
"Remember, you must not reveal your martial soul to your senior sister!"
