Nature and Cultivation

Spiritual Power originates from the mind and Mud Pill Palace. At an early stage, it can extend beyond the user’s body, allowing perception of the surroundings without physical sight. Lin Changqiang initially restrains this sense to avoid revealing that he had begun cultivating it without studying Lin Dong’s training method. 36

It is cultivated separately from Yuan Power, though the two can be combined or mutually supported through special treasures and techniques. The Spirit Nurturing Cushion can calm the mind, nourish the spirit, and fuse Spiritual Power with Yuan Power. 111

Spiritual medicines, tower baptism, lightning and Thunder Source energy can all accelerate Spiritual Power growth. Lin Changqiang’s and Lin Dong’s Natal Spirit Talismans devour lightning, improving their Spiritual Power’s quality by thirty percent. 92

Manifestation

Spiritual Power is normally invisible, but it can become visible as ripples, shields, vortices, needles, barriers, or a fully materialized spirit body.

• Pale-blue ripples from Unity of Man and Heaven formed a shield over nearly one hundred people. 46
• Gu Yuan condensed Spiritual Power into the materialized God Transformation Needle, which could damage an opponent’s mental faculties. 47
• At the Divine Palace Realm, Lin Changqiang’s Spiritual Power becomes lustrous white after fusing with Supreme Power. 533
• A Heavenly Talisman Master can create barriers strong enough to contain violent Yuan Power and prevent even sound from escaping. 154

Abilities & Applications

Spiritual Perception

Spiritual Power can function as a wide-area sensory field, detecting living beings, energy traces, terrain, and movement.

• Lin Changqiang can perceive his room with closed eyes shortly after beginning cultivation. 36
• His Spiritual Power later sweeps an entire forest, exposing demonic beasts and frightening weaker creatures into hiding. 171
• He can spread it as a mental net over tens of thousands of people, perceiving their faces, Yuan Power traces, and even the wind around them. 178
• After reaching Spirit Talisman Master level, he can control nearly every object within a hundred meters with a thought. 115

Spiritual Attacks and Constructs

Spiritual Power can directly pressure, strike, bind, or interfere with targets, including those protected against ordinary physical attacks.

• God Transformation Needle materializes Spiritual Power into a needle capable of harming a target’s mental faculties. 47
• Spiritual Impact can injure an opposing Talisman Master, as Lin Dong does to Gu Yuan. 46
• Yin Demon Howl converts Spiritual Power into destructive sound waves, though it is difficult to execute fully. 115
• Word Spirit: Manipulation forcibly binds targets regardless of cultivation gap; its consumption increases with the targets’ number and strength. 233
• Ever-Changing Game may be drawn with Yuan Power or Spiritual Power; it knocks back enemies, restricts their escape, slows their actions, and enhances the user’s speed. 450

Defensive Use

Spiritual Power can support shields and barriers capable of protecting multiple people.

• Unity of Man and Heaven creates a shield that blocks or weakens incoming Yuan Power and Spiritual Power attacks while allowing allied attacks to pass through. 46
• Spreading this protection over nearly one hundred people can exhaust both Yuan Power and Spiritual Power, leaving the user weakened and suffering intense mental pain. 46
• Sun Moon Divine Light Shield and New Moon Barrier are among Lin Changqiang’s later Spiritual Secret Techniques. 241

Absorption and Refinement

Spiritual Power can be absorbed as cultivation energy, though ordinary methods may require refinement and carry drawbacks.

• The Talisman Master Tower’s spiritual pressure is automatically converted by Lin Changqiang’s system into pure energy. 61
• Jiang Mulin’s Corrosive Spirit Skeleton can absorb and refine another person’s Spiritual Power, but it leaves the user’s power impure. 115
• Lin Changqiang’s five Natal Spirit Talismans directly devour the Corrosive Spirit Skeleton and Jiang Mulin’s Spiritual Power without backlash. 115
• Eternal Illusion Demon Flowers provide enough energy for Lin Changqiang to progress from the Immortal Talisman Master level to Lesser Talisman Master. 467

Supreme Power Fusion

At higher levels, Spiritual Power can be fused with Supreme Power obtained through a connection to the Plane Embryo.

• The Star Ancestral Talisman helps Lin Changqiang establish favorability with Tianxuan Continent’s Plane Embryo. 467
• Supreme Power greatly enhances Martial Arts and Spiritual Secret Techniques and grants recognition from Tianxuan Continent’s heaven and earth. 467
• Lin Changqiang can summon Plane Power defensively against Demonfiend King Halls, using it to reinforce barriers and injure powerful demons. 525 526
• His completed Divine Palace continuously fuses Supreme Power with Spiritual Power, strengthening both his Spiritual Power and his connection to the Plane Embryo. 533
