"Incense resonance is the cause of the headwind. Once a thought arises and the heart responds, it bears the fruit of association, giving birth to incense essence and producing an Incense Deity!"
Li Ling explained the principles of cause and effect to Mu Qingsi.
What was called Scent Identification had already extended the concept of incense essence to the level of causality, touching on spiritual transformations such as memes and concepts.
Only in this way could the divine abilities and spells of the Incense Path escape their vulnerability to Gang Wind and air currents and become truly powerful.
Li Ling even wanted to "ignite" others, planting a wisp of incense resonance in them so that they would continually generate that fragrance, even creating an avatar of an Incense Deity that haunted their souls and dreams, never dispersing!
"In theory, once this divine ability develops to its utmost, it should possess two major characteristics: boundless reach and permanent existence!
"Boundless reach comes from thoughts and spirit transcending time and space. As long as something is recognized, it leaves an impression.
"Permanent existence follows the memories of the person subjected to this art and the subconscious deep within their mind-root... existing by attaching itself to them.
"Only then will my divine abilities and spells truly reach mastery."
Mu Qingsi could not help saying, "It sounds quite good, but can a method like this really be cultivated?"
Theory was theory; practice was practice.
It was far too difficult. Just hearing about it, she could tell it was a great divine ability that required at least Core Formation or Nascent Soul cultivation to begin.
Yet imagining the scene Li Ling had predicted made it rather enticing.
If this method could be realized, all he would need to do was plant a wisp of incense
