"These crooked core array lines might differ from the neat, orderly soul tool patterns we use today, but they clearly follow soul tool design principles too."
"And ten thousand years ago, apart from storage soul tools, there were basically no other types of soul tools on the Douluo Continent."
"I read in an ancient text that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was also called the Sea God's Heart, a treasure the First Generation Sea God Poseidon left in the mortal world to select his successor."
"Since he could design a soul tool like this, perhaps it was an original creation he made after studying the soul tool design principles of the Sun Moon Continent back then."
Chen Ping's words made Mo Fang nod repeatedly. "Exactly, exactly. While studying this soul tool lately, I was also surprised to discover that the patterns on the rubbings of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud followed design principles extremely similar to those of the core arrays I once saw in ancient texts on Sun Moon soul tools."
"You might not know this, but soul tool design principles ten thousand years ago were vastly different from those of today. They emphasized completing everything in a single stroke, achieving perfection in every respect, and integrating every function into a single core array."
"That's also why successive sect masters of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect could never unravel the secrets of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from the rubbings, while I, your teacher, could figure out how this thing was made without much effort and produce quite a few simplified Vast Sea Cosmic Tower soul tools."
