The Key to Harmonizing "Qi" and "Field": Soul Power

That night, around midnight.

The moon and stars are sparse.

The streets were dimly lit; the once bustling night market was now completely dark and devoid of any lively atmosphere.

Led by Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina arrived at the main road leading from the City Lord's Mansion to the North Gate. They took out the shovel, hoe, chisel, and hammer they had borrowed from You Hui and found a corner near the edge—

Cut!

However, to avoid attracting attention, the four of them moved very quietly, digging only along the gaps at the edge of the blue bricks.

Why are we here digging for bricks?

Xiao Wu took the chisel and aimed it at the gap between the blue bricks. She carefully tapped it with a hammer, not daring to use too much force, and slid it along the edge of the gap, trying to make it bigger.

"Investigate whether there are any special metals or the like underground."

Now that Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina are all on his side, Zhou Qing described what he hadn't told You Hui and Ning Rongrong.

"Tang San should know that for Soul Tool Core Formation to achieve its maximum effect, in addition to being accurately inscribed, it also needs a corresponding material to support it. I suspect that this super-large Soul Tool Core Formation in Falling Star City may also have a corresponding material underneath."

Tang San's expression turned serious. "It is indeed possible."

Zhou Qing continued, "Regarding Qi and field, if you only allow Qi to circulate in the field, the efficiency is actually very low. The examples I gave before were basically based on the two basic conditions of 'Qi' and 'field'. The wind speed must be very strong and the building must be very stable for such Magic Array to take effect."

"So if neither of these two conditions is met, it won't work, right?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Uncertain."

Zhou Qing's eyes were serious. "Do you remember when I mentioned that ' Soul Power is the key to harmonizing 'qi' and 'field'? If you think of the entire Falling Star City as a super-large Soul Tool, you'll find that if someone laid out the corresponding nodes and switches underground in advance, then this rigid Soul Tool Core Formation might be able to operate relatively easily."

"This is actually similar to the principle of Soul Master cultivation. I believe that the essence of Soul Master cultivation is not cultivating Soul Power, but cultivating the 'qi' and 'field' of the human body."

"Comparing the human body to this Falling Star City, or even the entire world, you will find that a human's breath is equivalent to the airflow that is constantly circulating in this world. Breathing is to allow 'qi' to flow smoothly through the human body, and the human body itself can be defined as a 'field'. Soul Power is to regulate the 'qi' and 'field' of the human body, thereby continuously improving our physical fitness and even breaking through the limits of Life!"

"In this process, the Martial Soul also plays a role in strengthening the human body. After all, the Martial Soul and the human body are two sets of 'gear systems' that work together."

"As for the Bloodline Power, it can be compared to another kind of energy that is generated when the 'field' itself undergoes a certain movement and rhythm. Just like Xiao Wu said, your two younger brothers conducted experiments on Soul Beast, feeding them special minerals and herbs, which emitted a power similar to 'light'. The two are similar and can be compared, but they cannot be considered the same."

"However, we currently know very little about Aura Field, and we may need to revise and improve it in the future..."

Xiao Wu blinked, amazed by Zhou Qing's wisdom. He was able to compare two completely unrelated things, and according to him, they were indeed very similar.

Is this human wisdom?

In that instant, Xiao Wu suddenly felt that the intelligence of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was no different from that of a human... It was simply a joke!

How could the intelligence of Soul Beast possibly compare to that of a human?

Only by becoming human!

Only then can we truly possess human wisdom!

At this moment, Zhou Qing paused and said to Tang San, "Tang San, in the future, we might try to find Soul Tool Core Formation that can gather the Heaven and Earth Energy, and use it to build a place similar in scale to this Falling Star City, and set up some key nodes. Maybe we can really make it operate on its own."

Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes lit up.

If the Tang Sect is established in this way in the future, gathering the Heaven and Earth Energy, its future disciples will surely be able to cultivate extremely quickly!

This kind of Soul Tool Core Formation, which can be effective at all times and gather the Heaven and Earth Energy, definitely deserves the name "array"!

Furthermore, Tang San had already decided on the name for this array that could gather the Heaven and Earth Energy — the Spirit Gathering Array.

But Zhou Qing interrupted Tang San's daydreaming, pointing to the crack that Xiao Wu and Romantina had already dug, and said, "Tang San, it's your turn. Spread the Blue Silver Grass seeds and let them grow!"

"Ah?"

Tang San was taken aback at first, not knowing why he needed to use his Soul Bone Skill, but he did as he was told.

In front of Xiao Wu and Romantina, Tang San no longer needed to hide the existence of the Swift Wind Right Palm Bone; his right hand seemed to be wearing a blue glove.

As Soul Power circulated to his right palm, faint starlight sprinkled into the crevice, and then, one after another, Blue Silver Grass sprouted out.

And that heavy blue brick was slowly being lifted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although the Blue Silver Grass is fragile, its growth force has managed to pry open this blue brick and continuously pressure the surrounding blue bricks.

Within three minutes, under the growth of the Blue Silver Grass, a large crack appeared between this piece of blue brick and the surrounding blue bricks, and finally—

Wave!

A crack actually appeared!

After witnessing the power of plant growth firsthand, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina were all deeply moved.

Even Zhou Qing, who witnessed the growth of these Blue Silver Grass in such a short time, was deeply moved. "Even the smallest and most fragile grass can still show a power beyond our imagination during its growth process."

Tang San nodded blankly. It was the first time he realized that the Blue Silver Grass was not entirely weak, but also had a strong side. Moreover, this strength was perhaps more touching than the power of the Clear Sky Hammer.

Especially when he thought about how the Blue Silver Grass was inherited from his mother whom he had never met, a sentence inexplicably came to Tang San's mind: Women are inherently weak, but become strong when they become mothers.

Thank you, Mother! Perhaps I am not your real son, but if you were truly murdered, I will find your killer and avenge you!

In addition to this, Tang San also had more ideas about his future cultivation—

Blue Silver Grass cannot be purely soft; it must be soft yet firm.

Similarly, the Clear Sky Hammer must also possess both strength and flexibility;

Only in this way can we achieve a true balance of strength and gentleness, and harmony of yin and yang!

Then, Zhou Qing squatted down, beckoned to Tang San, and carried out the broken blue brick.

This piece of blue brick is about 40 centimeters long and 30 centimeters wide. After all the debris was cleaned out, the pit that was exposed was actually 20 to 30 centimeters deep.

Once a blue brick is unearthed, it becomes relatively easy to dig out the surrounding blue bricks.

When Zhou Qing and the others saw a pit nearly two meters in length and width in front of them, they stopped digging away the other bricks and began digging downwards...
