A Martial Soul's Innate Cultivation Technique Is No Weaker Than the Mysterious Heaven Skill!

"The Mysterious Heaven Skill contains the concept of yin and yang," Zhou Qing said. "That is, opposites—like magnets, where like poles repel and opposite poles attract. The two complement one another. Your two Martial Souls, one Blue Silver Grass and one unknown hammer... the hammer is hard, while Blue Silver Grass is soft. Doesn't that make them like the two poles of a magnet?"

Tang San pondered for a moment and found it reasonable. Moreover, the Mysterious Heaven Skill was a Daoist Cultivation Technique. The Internal Energy it cultivated was upright, balanced, and peaceful; it truly would not clash with the properties of Internal Energy cultivated through other techniques.

The hammer was hard.

Blue Silver Grass was soft.

If he could cultivate the techniques inherent to these two Martial Souls and harmonize them, balancing hardness and softness, then it might indeed be possible to cultivate both Martial Souls at once.

People of this world might not be able to do so, but Tang San possessed the Mysterious Heaven Skill. If he used it to harmonize these two techniques, perhaps he could make their yin and yang complement each other.

"So, what should I do?"

"Of course, try out the cultivation effects brought by Blue Silver Grass and the hammer separately. See whether they conflict with the Mysterious Heaven Skill," Zhou Qing suggested.

Judging from how Tang San could use the Internal Energy cultivated through the Mysterious Heaven Skill to activate both Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer in the original story, the Soul Power cultivated through the Mysterious Heaven Skill could adapt to both.

Furthermore, the Mysterious Heaven Skill—or perhaps a censored version of it—would be made public in the future, allowing all Soul Masters to cultivate it. The Internal Energy cultivated by this Daoist Cultivation Technique truly deserved to be called "upright, balanced, and peaceful." It was practically a universal fit.

Thus, Zhou Qing believed that, given the special nature of the Internal Energy cultivated through the Mysterious Heaven Skill, it should be able to prevent the Internal Energy cultivated through Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer from conflicting.

"That makes sense."

Tang San was a man of action. He immediately sat cross-legged and sensed the Meridian route through which Blue Silver Grass circulated Soul Power, beginning his cultivation.

Cultivation techniques required a complete circulation through one Zhou Cycle. Tang San had merely sensed it earlier; he had not truly begun cultivating.

But after circulating it through one Zhou Cycle, he discovered that his Soul Power had not increased in the slightest—because this world required one to obtain a Soul Ring before breaking through to the next realm, this was perfectly normal.

However, a portion of the Internal Energy cultivated through his Mysterious Heaven Skill took on a faint blue hue and separated from the mass of Mysterious Heaven Skill Internal Energy, floating beside the Internal Energy cultivated by the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

The balance had been broken!

Tang San sensed that the Internal Energy cultivated through his Mysterious Heaven Skill was slowly transforming into that trace of blue, life-filled Soul Power. Perhaps before long, it would all turn into blue Soul Power.

Tang San immediately grew anxious.

Even though his Soul Power level had not changed, he did not want all the Internal Energy cultivated through the Mysterious Heaven Skill to transform into Soul Power bearing the properties of Blue Silver Grass.

Once Zhou Qing learned of the situation, he immediately had him cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer.

Tang San did as instructed.

Before long, he circulated Soul Power along the Meridian route brought by the Clear Sky Hammer, causing part of the Mysterious Heaven Skill's Soul Power to turn black. Like the blue mass of Soul Power, it hovered on either side of the pure Internal Energy cultivated through the Mysterious Heaven Skill, continuously revolving around that mass of Soul Power.

On one side, they absorbed the pure Soul Power cultivated by the Mysterious Heaven Skill; on the other, they released the absorbed Soul Power again, making the Soul Power cultivated through the Mysterious Heaven Skill even purer.

"A tremendous opportunity!"

Tang San had never expected the Mysterious Heaven Skill to be so miraculous. It could actually control the cultivation methods brought by his two Martial Souls and continuously refine his Internal Energy.

However, the process was somewhat troublesome. He first had to circulate the Mysterious Heaven Skill's cultivation route through one Zhou Cycle, then successively circulate the cultivation routes brought by Blue Silver Grass and the hammer.

Only after all three cultivation routes had completed one Great Zhou Circulation could the blue and black masses of Internal Energy revolve once around the mass cultivated through the Mysterious Heaven Skill, refining the Soul Power. During this process, both the blue and black masses of Internal Energy would also become purer.

Beyond that, Tang San felt that his control over his body had become more intimate. The most obvious benefit was that, while summoning the Clear Sky Hammer still consumed a great deal of Soul Power, the expenditure was much lower than before. It was as if the hammer had already acknowledged him and was willing to make things easier for him.

Tang San also noticed that Blue Silver Grass and the hammer both contained masses of energy—their Innate Soul Power!

But due to this world's rules, level ten was the limit before obtaining a Soul Ring. Those two portions of Innate Soul Power could not merge into his Lower Dantian and could only remain temporarily sealed within the Martial Souls.

So that was it! At the moment my Martial Souls awakened, neither of them acknowledged me, so my Martial Souls' Innate Soul Power was sealed away... Was it because I carried the memories of my previous life?

But Tang San also had another thought, one that made his expression darken slightly when he opened his eyes. After all, from this perspective, he truly was not Tang Hao's son.

In that case... that was fine. He would simply support him in his old age in the future.

At that moment, Tang San finally let go of the last trace of reservation in his heart and truly recognized himself—

Since he was not the other man's son in terms of his soul, there was no need for him to curry favor with him anymore. Having Zhou Qing accompany him as he grew up was enough.

"How was it?"

Seeing that Tang San had finished cultivating, Zhou Qing hurriedly asked, "Can you cultivate them at the same time?"

"I can, and the results are extremely good." Tang San smiled faintly and told Zhou Qing about the effects of cultivating all three techniques simultaneously.

Refining Internal Energy?

Blue and black masses of Soul Power?

He truly was the protagonist!

Zhou Qing sighed inwardly. It would be a lie to say he was not envious, but since Tang San would no longer make trouble for him, the stronger Tang San became, the more beneficial it would be to him.

Besides, his Martial Soul—the Blood Circulation System—would surely bring him an unparalleled cultivation technique as well!

Having cultivated the Purple Demon Eye, his control over Spiritual Power might still be inferior to Tang San's, but he had at least lived two lives. Moreover, Tang San had provided detailed diagrams of the human body's Meridians and acupoints. By comparing them, he would certainly be able to completely memorize the sensations brought by his Martial Soul and match them to the diagrams one by one, gradually gaining control.

"Zhou Qing, why don't you try it too?"

Tang San suggested, "The Mysterious Heaven Skill is upright, balanced, and peaceful. Perhaps the Soul Power circulation route brought by your Martial Soul can complement the Mysterious Heaven Skill as well."

"Alright."

Zhou Qing agreed without hesitation. He then sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and focused his mind, beginning to communicate with the Martial Soul within him: the Blood Circulation System. He hoped that this Body Martial Soul, with such a high degree of completion, would grant him an unparalleled cultivation technique.

In fact, Tang San believed this even more firmly than Zhou Qing himself.

After all, Zhou Qing had started cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill much later than he had. On top of that, Zhou Qing spent most of his time organizing the books, so the Soul Power he had cultivated was at most around Rank Two.

Yet Zhou Qing possessed Innate Full Soul Power!

This proved that the Innate Soul Power granted by his awakened Martial Soul had to be at least Rank Eight or higher!

Thus, Tang San, who already had a certain understanding of Martial Souls, was certain that the cultivation method brought by Zhou Qing's Martial Soul was no weaker than the Mysterious Heaven Skill!
