The flesh is weak?!

However, after listening to Lu Guan's words, Mu Ye shook his head.

What you're saying is all just superficial talk.

Mu Ye extended a rough finger and scratched a mark on the stone table.

"It's true that the higher your physical fitness, the greater the load you can withstand, but this is essentially related to physical fitness and has absolutely nothing to do with our Body Martial Soul!"

"Most Soul Master with Body Martial Soul simply have high physical attributes!"

"It's still using external objects!"

Lu Guan was taken aback, then realized what was happening.

Indeed, if the physical body is merely regarded as a "frame" to hold the Soul Tool, then the Soul Tool is ultimately just an external object and cannot be considered a true integration.

"So, what does Master mean?" Lu Guan asked, intrigued, leaning forward slightly.

Mu Ye looked at Lu Guan, a near-fanatical glint in his eyes.

"External objects are ultimately just external objects; separated by a layer of skin and flesh, they can never unleash their full potential!"

"I've been pondering this for a long time. Since our Body Sect cultivates the self and emphasizes unlocking the ultimate potential of the human body, why can't we directly integrate Soul Tool into the body?"

"Integrate into the body?!"

Lu Guan's pupils contracted slightly.

Good heavens, they're directly stuffing Soul Tool into the physical body?

Ignoring Lu Guan's shock, Mu Ye continued gesturing to himself, his voice deep and powerful.

"Our Body Sect refines the physical body, cultivating essence, qi, and spirit; it emphasizes pushing strength to its limits!"

"The ultimate goal of Innate Secret Method is to transform the entire body into Martial Soul! Integrating into the body is also integrating into the Martial Soul!"

"So, what if we implanted a specially crafted Soul Guidance Core, or even an entire mechanical structure, directly into the flesh and bones?"

"Use the abundant Blood Qi we cultivate daily, that is, [strength], to nourish it day and night, allowing it to fully adapt to the rhythm of our flesh and blood, and ultimately merge with our bones and meridians!"

"At that stage, it's no longer about rigidly triggering the Soul Guidance Array with Soul Power, but about instinctively using the [qi] and [essence] within our bodies!"

"With every breath, the Soul Tool becomes an extension of the meridians; with every movement, the machine becomes a part of the body!"

As Mu Ye spoke, his pace quickened, as if he had entered a mystical state, his palms clasped together in front of him as if sketching some extraordinary blueprint.

"Even when your Blood Qi and Divine Power are nurtured to their peak, completely permeating every inch of the metal..."

"It can even give birth to a spirit and soul in what was originally an inanimate Soul Tool!"

Boom!

These words struck Lu Guan like Thunderclap, exploding in his mind!

He sat on the stone bench, completely dumbfounded.

Flesh and blood are weak, Mechanical Ascension?!

666, Douluo Continent has this kind of gameplay?

However, Mu Ye's approach is no different from the mechanical modifications in science fiction works from his previous life!

Others discard flesh and blood in exchange for metal, but Mu Ye is different. He plans to use his domineering physical body Blood Qi to forcibly "assimilate" the cold machinery into living organs, and even give the machine a soul!

This is actually similar to the idea of using the whole body as Martial Soul in the [Power] chapter of the Body Sect.

Lu Guan swallowed hard, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and stared into Mu Ye's eyes, asking.

Is it feasible?

According to the existing Soul Guidance Technology in the Douluo Continent, even the most advanced Four-Word Battle Armor is only integrated with the Soul Master through bloodline imprint, and is essentially still equipment that depends on the Soul Master.

If we were to give consciousness to Soul Tool, wouldn't that lead to a crisis of intelligence?

Meeting Lu Guan's surprised and uncertain gaze, Mu Ye's fanaticism gradually subsided.

He slowly raised his head, looked at the azure sky outside the courtyard, and nodded heavily.

"Feasible."

Two simple words, without the slightest hesitation, carrying an unquestionable certainty.

Mu Ye withdrew his gaze, looked down at his calloused hands, and a complex look of reminiscence flashed in the depths of his eyes.

To give life and soul to cold, lifeless machines...

This sounds like a fantasy, and others might think he's crazy.

But only Mu Ye himself knew the truth.

This path is truly viable.

Because he had already succeeded many years ago...

Shrek City, Sea God Island.

In the center of the shimmering Sea God Lake, a rustic wooden house is nestled among towering ancient trees.

A gentle breeze swept across the lake, carrying with it wisps of mist.

A streak of emerald light descended from the sky and landed steadily on the boardwalk in front of the wooden house. As the light faded, it revealed that it was Ya Li, the Holy Spirit Douluo who had rushed back from Tian Dou City.

As soon as she landed, Ya Li's originally rosy complexion turned slightly pale, and her breathing became slightly disordered, almost imperceptibly.

You're back?

A gentle yet supremely authoritative voice came from under the wooden house's veranda.

A man dressed simply in white was standing there, holding a cup of freshly brewed tea.

He looked to be in his early thirties, with a handsome and refined appearance, and a pair of deep eyes that seemed to encompass the entire universe.

Yun Ming.

Upon seeing Yun Ming, Ya Li's weariness instantly transformed into a gentle smile, and she quickly stepped forward. "Brother Ming..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Yun Ming put down her teacup.

A gentle surge of Soul Power entered Ya Li, and in just a moment, Yun Ming's brows furrowed.

"You used your Angel True Body and even depleted your life force?"

Yun Ming withdrew his hand, looking at his wife's slightly pale face. "What happened? Who's in trouble and needs you to expend your life force to save them?"

With Ya Li's current cultivation level, ordinary injuries could be healed with a mere ray of holy light. Just how severe must the injury be to require her to expend her life force to save her?

Ya Li leaned against Yun Ming's chest and softly recounted what had happened in Heaven Dou City.

Upon hearing that Ya Li had sacrificed her life force to save An Ming, the Ninth Ring Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, Yun Ming slowly shook his head.

"Foolish."

Yun Ming raised his hand to smooth the stray hairs at Ya Li's temples, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"You shouldn't have wasted your life force to save an Evil Soul Master."

"Now that Zhen Hua and Mu Ye have joined forces and captured An Ming alive, his life or death is a matter for the Federation. Why should you sacrifice yourself for the benefit of others?"

Upon hearing this, Ya Li was not discouraged at all. Instead, she raised her head and smiled calmly.

"Brother Ming, you can't say that."

"I just received a message from Heaven Dou City on my way back. After that Evil Soul Master was revived, he helped the Federation uncover a large branch of the Holy Spirit Cult hidden in the Sunset Mine Vein."

"They say they captured quite a few key members of the Evil Soul Master, which is considered a great achievement."

In Ya Li's view, sacrificing some of her life force in exchange for destroying a large branch of the Holy Spirit Cult and saving countless innocent civilians' lives was a worthwhile trade no matter how you looked at it.

However, Yun Ming shook his head again after listening.

He looked at his wife, who still retained a childlike heart, his gaze deep and calm.

"What if there isn't one?"
