Personally Testing
"From this perspective, I am certain that no Soul Master on the entire continent has completely Grafting their Soul Skill onto their Martial Soul."
Zhou Qing simply listed the processes of "Grafting new peach tree varieties onto peach trees" and "obtaining Soul Ring for Martial Soul" for comparison and summary. "If you want to fully Grafting the skills of Soul Ring onto your own Martial Soul, then the prerequisite is that the Soul Beast you hunt and your own Martial Soul need to have extremely strong compatibility."
"For example, peach trees can only Grafting other varieties of peach trees. As for other varieties, such as plum trees or apple trees, needless to say, it will definitely fail 100%."
Tang San agreed with this idea, but then he also wondered, "My Blue Silver Grass is Plant Martial Soul, but a Martial Soul is not a real plant. Perhaps it can contain a wider range of Plant Soul Beast, but what kind of Soul Ring should I choose for my Clear Sky Hammer?"
Soul Beast can be animals or plants, and some even have special gems or minerals on their Soul Beast, but there is definitely no Soul Beast that looks exactly like a hammer, right?
"Do you remember the differences between the Soul Skill I analyzed in Holy Soul Village and skills like Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Mysterious Jade Hand?" Zhou Qing asked.
"I remember, it's—"
Tang San paused for a moment, then realized the key point. "Soul Skill exist within Soul Ring. Every time Soul Skill is used, the Soul Ring lights up, containing the flow of Soul Power, similar to my Mysterious Jade Hand, except that it exists outside the human body, within the Soul Ring... meridians!"
"That's right!"
Zhou Qing said excitedly, "Your Mysterious Jade Hand is Self-Created Soul Skill, and the corresponding Soul Power circulation route is within your hands."
"The operating route of the Soul Skill of the Soul Ring exists within the Soul Ring. Therefore, to use Soul Skill, you need to inject Soul Power into the Soul Ring. Soul Skill can only be used by relying on the Martial Soul. However, in the process of Soul Master using the Martial Soul for many years, his own Soul Power should also take on the attributes of the Martial Soul. The fact that you have two different attribute Soul Power groups from cultivating two Martial Soul is proof of this."
"Self-Created Soul Skill has Soul Power path that is connected to one's own overall Soul Power cultivation path, or rather, it is within the human body's large circulatory system, so its power can continuously increase with one's own cultivation."
"It's just that the circulation route of Soul Power within Soul Ring is not the same system as the human body's meridians. As a result, when using Soul Ring Skill, we need to first connect our own Soul Power with our Martial Soul, and then inject it into the Soul Ring... Although most Soul Master can activate Soul Ring Soul Skill in just one second, if we analyze the whole process, Soul Power does indeed have to go through three stages: Soul Master, Martial Soul, and Soul Ring."
Three levels?
This is indeed a bit complicated. Tang San asked excitedly, "So, we need to connect our own meridians with the Soul Power circulation route within the Soul Ring so that we can skip the Martial Soul and directly use Soul Skill, and the age of the Soul Ring can also be continuously increased?"
"It should be that the Soul Ring Grafting onto the Martial Soul, rather than connecting the Soul Ring directly to the human body's meridians." Zhou Qing shook his head. "The only way for us to use Soul Beast skills is to use the Martial Soul. We humans do not have the strengths of Soul Beast. By using the martial soul to obtain Soul Ring, we are making up for our weaknesses by taking advantage of our Martial Soul."
Human beings have always been like this, and only in this way have they been able to develop.
From this perspective, Martial Soul is indeed a tool, and a very convenient and quick one at that. However, during the cultivation process, Soul Master cannot completely treat the Martial Soul as a tool that can be used at will, because the Martial Soul also has its own instincts, and even its own soul.
Tang San was more concerned with how to achieve a perfect Grafting between the Soul Ring and the Martial Soul.
"I have an idea: the Martial Soul itself also possesses a unique method of Soul Power circulation for its growth. This is not the same as the Soul Power circulation technique that the Martial Soul transmits to humans during meditation. That should be more like the Martial Soul autonomously evolving based on the human's meridians in order to grow..."
From this perspective, Zhou Qing regarded the Martial Soul as a truly independent Life. Whether it possesses intelligence is another matter, but it definitely has the ability to modify the human body to better suit it. However, Zhou Qing temporarily put this idea aside, because if he continued to think in this direction, it would feel like the Martial Soul was a Parasitism residing in the human body.
For example, the Light Goddess Butterfly, this kind of Martial Soul isn't inherited through bloodline, but rather chooses beautiful women on the continent, making it hard not to suspect...
"But Martial Soul themselves should indeed have a unique way of circulating their Soul Power, which may complement the cultivation methods they provide, allowing us to use them better, or rather, to cooperate with each other."
"After all, when we use the skills of the Soul Ring, we must go through the Martial Soul as a medium. What we need to do is to perceive the path of Soul Power circulation inside the Martial Soul and find a way to perfectly ' Grafting ' the circulation path inside the Martial Soul with the circulation path inside the Soul Ring. Perhaps, in that way, the Soul Ring produced from the Soul Beast can become a complete part of the Martial Soul and evolve along with the growth of the Martial Soul."
Zhou Qing, without letting Tang San experiment first, sat down cross-legged and experimented himself.
"Qing Ge, how about I do it?"
Tang San was somewhat tempted.
"No, this needs to be done by me. As the one who proposed the theory, I must conduct the experiment myself before allowing others to do so. This is being responsible to myself and to others." Zhou Qing shook his head, asking Tang San to protect him, and then focused his mind on his Sea of Spirit...
"Qing Ge, you will definitely become the greatest Martial Soul Theory Grandmaster!" Having spent so much time with Zhou Qing, Tang San had witnessed his intelligence, hard work, and courage. If someone like him couldn't succeed, then no one in the world could.
The reason Zhou Qing was able to sink into the Sea of Spirit was because of the power of the Innate Internal Scripture Chart, which allowed him to come into contact with Spiritual Power in advance. The so-called Sea of Spirit was just the Upper Dantian.
The Innate Internal Scripture Chart is based on the Three Passes and Nine Apertures, which run through the meridians and Acupoints of the whole body. Among them, the Upper Dantian is located between the eyes, which governs "intention" and is also the "gateway" for the Conscious Spirit, also known as the "gateway of life and death". Once this acupoint is opened, one can enter and exit the Inner Scenery World of one's own body, which is a broader human world that encompasses the Sea of Spirit.
Zhou Qing's Conscious Spirit carefully sensed the rhythm of his own Martial Soul and discovered that his Blood Circulation System did indeed have a different way of operating than the Innate Internal Scripture Chart.
That is the same function as the body's real Blood Circulation System: with the heart as the driving force, through relaxation and contraction, it propels the blood to circulate throughout the body and complete the cycle.
"Next up, the Soul Ring!"
Zhou Qing Conscious Spirit his attention again and found the Soul Ring. He discovered that its existence was not integrated with the Martial Soul, but rather it was suspended on the edge of the Martial Soul, seemingly close yet distant, connected by some invisible force, and capable of transmitting Soul Power.
"No wonder in the original novel, when Tang San revived Xiao Wu, the Soul Ring could be repelled, which means that the connection between the Soul Ring and the Martial Soul was severed."
"An ordinary Soul Master would definitely damage their Martial Soul if they dared to do that, but Tang San is different. The Blue Silver Emperor has a strong Life, and his main skills are all in the Mysterious Heaven Skill. He also has another Martial Soul. In addition, in the original story, he was still undergoing the Sea God's Nine Trials. The power of the Deity and the Sea God's Light can definitely repair the damage..."
"Next, let me see what the patterns inside the Soul Ring look like!"
