Microscopic Control

The increase in Growth Base did not provide any obvious boost to Physique.

But for the mind and for Soul Power—two attributes that could not be increased through external forces—it seemed extremely costly and precious.

"Distraction Control Method."

Two years had passed, as if time had returned to its starting point once more.

Han Tao could not help feeling a little nostalgic. It had already been two years since he came to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

And now, he once again picked up the cultivation of the Distraction Control Method.

Five Aperture Scattered Heart, Six Aperture Ruyi Heart, Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart.

For the Distraction Control Method, from the first layer to the fifth layer, it was only an increase in the number of divided focuses.

But from the fifth layer to the Seventh Layer, it was a qualitative change.

The sixth layer was the process of tempering perception.

The Seventh Layer was the enlightenment of Microscopic Control.

In the original work, Tang San had used the Distraction Control Method to complete his mastery of advanced mimicry and gain a preliminary understanding of the embryonic form of a domain.

At this moment, under Ning Fengzhi's guidance, Han Tao began a new stage of exploration.

"Shut your eyes tight!"

Ning Fengzhi's voice reached his mind.

Not by his ear, but in his mind.

To transmit information directly into his brain clearly meant some strange Secret Method had been used.

The fresh fragrance of grass and trees, the smell of earth in the air, and the damp, cool wind after the rain seeped into Han Tao's thoughts through every opening.

"Cast aside useless senses and focus on comprehension of the mind."

Ning Fengzhi's voice came again.

"The sixth layer requires an instant of Spiritual Sense."

How had Tang San done it in the original work? "Martial Soul!"

The Martial Soul was the foundation of a Soul Master. Han Tao summoned his Blue Silver Grass.

Blue Silver Grass, in the field of perception, could be called the greatest of all plant-type Martial Souls.

That fleeting inspiration was like a wave in the vast sea, raising tides with the pull of the moon's gravity.

Sometimes near, sometimes far, close yet distant.

"Blue Silver Grass."

"Boundless Blue Silver Grass!"

Han Tao could sense that, apart from his own Martial Soul, far away on the horizon, deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, there was an ideal homeland of Blue Silver Grass.

There was endless Blue Silver Grass there, magnificent and majestic cliffs, and budding vitality blooming with life.

The distance was very far, far beyond Han Tao's range of perception.

He only knew that those Blue Silver Grass existed, but could not see what they looked like.

"I broke through!"

Han Tao opened his eyes, his heart filled with joy.

The sixth layer of the Distraction Control Method was the process of tempering perception.

Resonating with a Martial Soul of the same kind had forcibly pushed Han Tao into this level.

This was taking a shortcut! But a breakthrough was still a breakthrough; even by taking a shortcut, it was still a breakthrough.

Mastering the sixth layer of the Distraction Control Method meant that Han Tao could use his own Mental Power to temper his perception.

"The sixth layer is perception, and the Seventh Layer is control."

"Perhaps, after the Distraction Control Method is cultivated to its limit, that will be the moment the Multi-Dimensional Domain is born."

Two hundred meters away from Han Tao, beneath a rock, a stalk of Blue Silver Grass was growing.

Han Tao used his Distraction Control Method to establish an informational connection with this stalk of Blue Silver Grass. Its state, temperature, humidity, airflow, and surrounding environment were transmitted one by one into Han Tao's mind.

One stalk of Blue Silver Grass, two stalks of Blue Silver Grass. Was the limit of the Distraction Control Method seven stalks of Blue Silver Grass?

No. From the fifth layer onward, numbers were only a concept.

It could be five, it could be ten, and it could even be a hundred.

Just like how Han Tao could now use the Seven Splits Mind Technique, yet he still remained at the sixth layer of the Distraction Control Method and had not touched the barrier of the Seventh Layer.

"Mental Power determines the range of perception."

This was easy to understand. The stronger a Soul Master's Mental Power was, the wider the range of perception.

At the same time, the wider the range of perception, the more information was obtained, and the stronger the tempering effect on perception became.

"Mental Power is heaven-chosen!"

Han Tao sighed again. The cultivation of soul power required mental power, and the tempering of perception also required mental power.

Although his martial soul was not a mental-power martial soul, Blue Silver Grass was not weak either. In terms of perception, it could still be considered somewhat talented.

"How is it?"

Beside Han Tao, Ning Rongrong stared blankly with wide eyes, puzzled.

"I succeeded. Distraction Control Method Sixth Layer."

Perhaps it was the unique compatibility between Blue Silver Grass and the Sixth Layer of Distraction Control. Whether it was Tang San in the original work or Han Tao at this moment, fulfilling this condition was very easy.

Ning Rongrong, however, was extremely astonished, because she was now a level-44 Soul Ancestor, a Soul Ancestor who had eaten Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

The strength of her mental power was almost ten times greater than Han Tao's, but she had still failed.

Even she could not break through the Sixth Layer, so why could Han Tao break through?

Ning Rongrong was very unconvinced.

"Father!"

"Are you hiding some kind of trick?" she questioned.

Ning Fengzhi was left with an utterly speechless expression.

He glanced at his foolish daughter, shook his head helplessly, and spoke.

"Han Tao, since you have already broken through to the Sixth Layer of the Distraction Control Method, you can now begin the preliminary cultivation of the Seventh Layer."

"Sensing the frequency of soul power is the content of the Sixth Layer."

"Soul power is what a Soul Master can control most easily. Changing the frequency of one's own soul power is the simplest part of the Seventh Layer of the Distraction Control Method."

From perception to control, it was likewise a gradual process.

Even though Han Tao had cultivated for many years and already had an extremely profound understanding of the nature of soul power, at this moment, he began to make initial contact with the microscopic level.

The microscopic—what did that mean?

In the original work, Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes had two realms that represented comprehension of the microscopic domain.

Minute Observation, Mustard Seed.

And now, with the assistance of the Distraction Control Method, Han Tao began to make preliminary contact with this part.

Soul power flowed through the meridians.

Mental power guided soul power, using the meditation method as a blueprint to control the trajectory of the soul power flow.

Perception would seep into the interior of the soul power, sensing the changes in the tiniest details.

As soul power flowed through the meridians, the meridians absorbed natural energy from the air, transformed it into minute amounts of soul power, and then gathered it within the meridians.

"Soul power comes from the outside world!"

"Soul power cannot be born out of thin air!"

If a Soul Master were placed in an isolated place, then his soul power would gradually be exhausted.

"Absorbing power from the outside world."

"Immortal herbs are likewise external power. No wonder they can raise soul power level."

"Opening the Twelve Principal Meridians and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians means an increase in talent, and it means a breakthrough in innate soul power level."

Han Tao once again took out his notebook and recorded the changes he had sensed.

The magnitude displayed by soul power's frequency when it was calm.

When the meditation method circulated, what kind of changes would occur? During the operation of the meditation method, under different stages, what changes would arise in soul power frequency?

"So that's how it is!"

Han Tao's eyes lit up.

He had not yet mastered the Seventh Layer of the Distraction Control Method.

However, he could take a shortcut again.

When soul power flowed, the oscillation frequencies it displayed were different.

But when Zhao Wuji used "Vajra Roar," the frequency it displayed was fixed.

In that case, as long as he controlled himself well and remained at a specific stage of the meditation method, he could use a shortcut to achieve the effect of "Frequency Resonance"! "Opening the Eight Extraordinary Meridians!"

Only now did a glimmer of hope appear.
