Letting the "Gears" Upgrade

"What a cunning adult you are!"

Zhou Qing wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, chuckled, and didn't seem to care.

However, Zhou Qing was also quite curious about why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul could only be cultivated to Level 79, so that disciples who possessed this Martial Soul 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, such as limbs, brain, Five Viscera, blood circulation, meridians, and acupoints.

In theory, as long as one masters an advanced Meditation Method for circulating Soul Power, one should be able to continuously break through one's own Soul Power, rather than being limited by one's Martial Soul.

This was Zhou Qing's previous thought.

However, that judgment was based on Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill, so it was inaccurate.

Because, in this world, there are two systems within the human body that operate Soul Power!

One is the meridian circulation system within the human body.

Secondly, there is the internal Soul Power circulation system of the Martial Soul itself, which 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, which together can promote the continuous improvement of a Soul Master's realm. If the two conflict, it will hinder the progress of mankind.

Why is Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill effective?

Because the Mysterious Heaven Skill is Daoist Cultivation Technique, the Soul Power it produces is neutral and balanced, making it compatible with almost any Martial Soul.

If we compare the Soul Power circulation system of a Martial Soul to a pre-defined gear, then the Mysterious Heaven Skill is a gear that can be polished and processed later.

The way the Martial Soul transmits the cultivation of Soul Power to the Soul Master is simply the Martial Soul itself, which forcibly drives the circulation of Innate Soul Power within the human body, thereby constructing a gear that is compatible with the Martial Soul's gear.

The difference between the two is that—

In this world, the Soul Master all have their Martial Soul's "gear" start turning first, which then drives the "gear" of their human body to turn.

In the original novel Tang San, who possessed the Mysterious Heaven Skill, started by turning the "gears" of his own body. So much so that after awakening his Martial Soul, he used his own "gears" as a foundation to turn the "gears" of his Martial Soul.

A person's Martial Soul influences their personality, a point clearly illustrated in the original work. This is because in this world, Soul Master are guided by their Martial Soul from the very beginning of their cultivation. As a result, even if Soul Master gains control in the future, the influence they received in childhood remains deeply ingrained.

However, Tang San in the original novel is different. He started cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill from the beginning, taking control of the situation. As a result, in his later growth process, only the environment he was in and the people he came into contact with could influence his thinking to a certain extent, while the Martial Soul itself had no effect on his temperament.

There are quite a few people in Holy Soul Village who possess the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and they are all relatively gentle in nature.

Judging from the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, the owners of the Clear Sky Sect are all very stubborn and arrogant. It is possible that the sect deliberately cultivated them, but Zhou Qing is sure that the Martial Soul itself must have also influenced their temperament to some extent.

However, in the original novel Tang San seems to have been unaffected by the slight influence of the Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul on his personality; it was all under his own control.

Now that Tang San has actively sensed the two Martial Soul and mastered the two techniques brought by the Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer, his personality should have undergone some changes that he himself is unaware of. However, since he still mainly uses the Mysterious Heaven Skill, the impact is negligible.

Let's get back to the main topic.

Why can't Ning Fengzhi break through to level 80?

Judging from the condition of the two gear systems within the Soul Master's body, it is clear that Ning Fengzhi's own system for cultivating Soul Power is no longer compatible with the gears that operate Soul Power in the Martial Soul... or rather, one of them has reached its "durability" limit.

Although these two "gears" can still work together, meaning they can use the Martial Soul to perform Soul Skill, they are no longer able to push the Martial Soul to continue growing.

In reality, Ning Fengzhi's Soul Power was still increasing, but the increase was very slow, to the point that he would not be able to cross the bottleneck from Level 79 to level 80 in his lifetime.

In theory, if Ning Fengzhi's lifespan exceeds three hundred years, at his current cultivation speed, he should be able to break through to level eighty in three hundred years.

"You are indeed very clever!" Ning Fengzhi was amazed that Zhou Qing compared the two ways of circulating Soul Power in the Martial Soul and the human body to two gears that were inlaid together!

The human body has a system for circulating Soul Power.

The Martial Soul itself also has its own unique path for the circulation of Soul Power.

The major sects, families, and the Spirit Hall had already noticed this, but no one had been able to describe it in such a simple and intuitive way.

Two gears inlaid together, working together?

How fitting!

Ning Fengzhi also looked forward to seeing what constructive suggestions Zhou Qing could offer.

"So, Uncle Ning, if you want to break through to Level 79, you need to change your gears." Zhou Qing smiled confidently. "There are two methods. First, you can give up your current way of cultivating Soul Power and switch to another Meditation Method that can improve Soul Power faster."

Ning Fengzhi frowned deeply.

Zhou Qing also knew that he would never consider this option!

reason?

In this world, the methods of cultivating Soul Power for soul Soul Master are based on Martial Soul, which results in each Soul Master cultivating Soul Power in a different way.

Even with the same Martial Soul, differences in quality can lead to variations in the details of how Soul Power is circulated.

Therefore, without Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill or Zhou Qing's Innate Internal Scripture Chart, no Soul Master would rashly change their cultivation method.

Unless one truly reaches a bottleneck and can no longer break through, one will try to find Martial Soul Master whose Martial Soul is similar to one's own and of higher quality, and seek their Soul Power cultivation method for reference.

Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul is already top-tier, so who else could he turn to?

The cultivation methods of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo are certainly stronger, but can the cultivation methods suitable for Seven Kill Sword and Bone Dragon Martial Soul be matched with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?

It will only lead to bigger conflicts!

Moreover, if he were to find a Support System Martial Soul Martial Soul that is similar to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda but of a higher quality, Ning Fengzhi would have to put aside his own breakthrough and consider how to recruit the Soul Master who might threaten the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support status in the Soul Master World into the sect, or find a way to eliminate him.

"It seems Uncle Ning is in a bit of a dilemma. Well then, I have a second option."

"Oh?"

"It's about replacing the gears, or rather, upgrading the gears."

Since Ning Fengzhi couldn't find a more suitable cultivation method for his Soul Power, and Zhou Qing wouldn't give away the Innate Internal Scripture Chart or the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Ning Fengzhi could only find a way to transform his Martial Soul.

Just like in the original novel, Ning Rongrong used the Aromatic Silk Beauty, a Immortal Herb, to transform the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, thus updating the gears of her Martial Soul. As a result, the "gear system" that propelled Ning Rongrong's cultivation of Soul Power also underwent an update, greatly improving the efficiency of enhancing Soul Power.
