Chapter 008 Upgrade to the second floor!
Every cultivator in the Beast Martial Continent can merge and can only merge one beast soul. This is stipulated by the Creation God and it is absolutely impossible to change. No one can change this rule. Even the most peak Nine Palace Realm, the ten directions masters can't do it. No one can merge more than one beast soul! Never! However, he has truly merged ten beast souls! Moreover, all attributes of each beast soul are the most peak ten stars!
What exactly is this colorful stone? How does it have such a magical effect? How does it turn a beast soul into ten, and how does it superimpose all the attributes of ten beast souls? Even Zhang Ling, who has been a human being for two lifetimes, could not imagine it.
No wonder the beast soul of two stars and three stars is prompted by the five-colored stone that the attribute value is too high and cannot be integrated. According to the beast soul rules of the beast martial arts continent, the original attribute value of the beast soul is the highest ten stars. No matter what method is used, it cannot surpass the ten stars. This primitive index, also known as the innate index, cannot be changed. The attribute index superimposed by improving the great realm or other channels is called the acquired index.
The highest innate index of the beast soul can only be ten stars, and the highest acquired index can reach twenty stars. If both the innate index and the acquired index are fully valued, the maximum beast soul attribute of the cultivator can reach thirty stars. Of course, this is all theoretical. In fact, being able to break through twenty stars is already a genius among geniuses and a demon among monsters. There are not many in the entire beast martial arts continent.
The ten innate indexes are superimposed by one-star beast souls, and the capped ten-star upper limit has reached the top ten star limit. The ten two-star beast souls, after being mysteriously transformed by the five-colored stone, are twenty stars and thirty stars. This is indeed beyond the upper limit of the innate index, no wonder they cannot be integrated.
Subconsciously, Zhang Ling looked at the hole of the old locust tree. The colorful stone fell out of this tree hole. No one knew what the origin of the colorful stone was and what kind of magical effects it had. It was simply more eccentric than the legendary artifact. As for why it was sealed in the old locust tree, no one knew it. Fortunately, he didn't want to know.
"If you continue to practice, you will know whether it is true or not!"
Zhang Ling immediately sat down, worked hard to practice, and further tested the ability of the five-colored stone.
Since Zhang Ling was unable to merge the beast soul and could not practice it before, there was no famous martial arts at hand. The only book of mind method was picked up halfway through chopping wood, called "Qi Gathering Jue". This is the most common method of gathering Qi in the Beast Martial Arts Continent, which is almost a book by everyone. It can accelerate the transformation of the vital energy of the heaven and earth around it into true qi. At the same time, it can also guide the true qi produced by the beast soul to various parts of the body and strengthen his body.
In the past, he could not merge with the beast soul, and there was no beast soul that could transform true qi. This Qi Gathering Art is of course useless. However, Zhang Ling in his previous life had become accustomed to preparing for the future, and was used to being fully prepared, waiting for the opportunity to come. Therefore, he was still very familiar with this Qi Gathering Art. Now that the beast soul has successfully merged, the Qi Gathering Art that has long been familiar with the heart will naturally come in handy.
"Qi is based on the heart, and the heart is based on the energy. The five elements are based on one mind, and yin and yang are not biased..."
"The upper and lower parts are all in one body, and the parts are different. The front yang is then yin, and the back is light and heavy. The Yin is back yin and the yin is blocked. The Yang is moved when the Yang is moved. The upper part is the beginning of the Yin, but the lower part is the Yang. The upper part is condensed in the middle, and the middle part is very hard. The upper part is rushing to the sky, and the lower part is like a mountain. The left side must turn right, and the right side must pull left."
"Moving forward is like flowing water, and rushing upwards is like lifting mountains. The landing point is like flying stones. The machine is like a crossbow string. The air is like a sound of wind, and the air is like swallowing rivers. The star is running forward to catch the moon, and the back is like a rolling wind. The fingers must be connected and used, and the shoulders are like a thorn..."
When the Qi Gathering Art was running, Zhang Ling immediately clearly felt that the vital energy of heaven and earth around him was constantly absorbed by his beast soul and converted into pure true energy. The location where he was, inadvertently, formed a vortex. The vital energy of heaven and earth around him was desperately rushing towards this vortex. The vital energy of heaven and earth in front was absorbed and transformed, and the vital energy of heaven and earth behind was continuously replenished.
At the same time, Zhang Ling clearly felt that the rich true energy in the spiritual soul space was constantly expanding to his meridians, extending to the ends of the meridians. Waves of true energy kept wandering back and forth in the meridians. The front had not disappeared, but the back had arrived, vast and continuous, like the mighty Yangtze River, constantly washing and impacting his meridians.
Because the ten beast souls with all attributes and full values are too powerful, the efficiency of transforming the vital energy of heaven and earth is too high, and the amount of true qi is generated, so the impact and vibration of the true qi back and forth in the meridians makes him feel a little uncomfortable. His meridians have not been tempered before, but are actually relatively fragile. The sudden huge true qi completely surpasses the meridians' ability to withstand.
When ordinary practitioners are operating the mind method, they are step by step. They need to work hard to strengthen the thickness of their meridians and expand the width of their meridians so that they can accommodate more true qi. However, they are not. Happiness comes too suddenly. His meridians do not have time to strengthen or expand at all. And they produce so much energy and true qi that they are so perverted that they cannot bear it at all.
If Zhang Ling had not tried hard to use the Qi Gathering Art to control the operation of the true qi and try hard to guide the true qi not to excessively impact his meridians, his meridians would be extremely likely to suffer serious trauma. If he was not careful, he might be directly destroyed. Now he is no longer worried that the amount of true qi is too small and cannot meet the needs. Instead, he is worried that the amount of true qi is too large and there is a risk of damaging the meridians. Once the meridians are damaged, all his previous efforts will be wasted.
What's even more terrible is that his true qi is not only overfilled, but also has thirteen different attributes at the same time. All of these true qi of different attributes collided together, as if they were colorful rivers. If they were not careful, conflicts would occur and they could not be controlled.
Each person's beast soul has different attribute indexes. Currently, there are thirteen types of gold, wood, earth, water, fire, life, death, thunder, wind, ice, dark, light, and poison. Different attribute indexes will produce true qi of different attributes, different quantities, and different intensity. In other words, the true qi produced by each beast soul is very complex and cannot be generalized. The proportion of true qi with various attributes will often affect the cultivation of various martial arts.
For example, if a person's beast soul has five stars and one star in metal, then under normal circumstances, he will get a lot of metal true qi, and the fire true qi is relatively small. Therefore, when he practices metal martial arts, his true qi is sufficient, his effect will be very good and his power will be very strong. However, when he practices fire-attribute martial arts, his true qi is insufficient, his effect will be very bad and his power will be very small.
Of course, the transformation of true qi is also related to the attributes of the heaven and earth vital energy around the surrounding heaven and earth vital energy. Among the surrounding heaven and earth vital energy, the more heaven and earth vital energy of a certain attribute, the more it will be absorbed and transformed. Only by organically combining the beast soul and the surrounding heaven and earth vital energy around can the fastest cultivation speed be achieved.
Generally speaking, primary martial arts are all purely attributed. The higher the index of a certain attribute, the faster the speed of cultivation. For example, the same practice of fire attributes, the speed of the five-star beast soul and the seven-star beast soul are completely different. Normally, the difference should be about four times.
However, after practicing at the top of the level, many powerful martial arts require the mix of two or more attributes of true qi. This means that the cultivator's own beast soul must meet the requirements of martial arts in order to continue practicing smoothly. Otherwise, the cultivation speed will be very slow and has no effect. It may even cause the danger of becoming possessed by the devil. When facing the enemy, it will be unable to continue to take action due to insufficient true qi.
Now, Zhang Ling's thirteen attribute indexes of the colorful stone beast soul are all ten stars. This means that all the true energy of his attributes is sufficient and there is no shortcoming at all. No matter what kind of martial arts he practices, he can meet the requirements.
From the perspective of cultivation, of course, it is an absolute good thing. He doesn't have to worry about choosing martial arts at all. He can practice any martial arts. However, on the other hand, the full attributes of true energy is indeed a great test for his body. His ten beast souls are equivalent to ten super-large nuclear power plants, and all of them are fully powered. What he needs to worry about is not that the power is insufficient, but how to transmit the power, how to apply it, and how to avoid the tragedy of explosion.
With the guidance of the Qi Gathering Technique, the continuous true qi flowed back and forth in Zhang Ling's body, repeatedly washing the fragile meridians. His meridians were constantly being widened in order to flow more true qi. At the same time, the thickness of the meridians was also increasing accordingly. However, these changes were far from meeting the needs of his beast soul. He still felt that his body was bulging and uncomfortable.
After the ten beast souls erupted a large amount of true energy, they began to undergo fission in an orderly manner. This is the beast soul that is about to evolve. As long as the beast soul meets certain conditions, it will evolve. The beast soul evolves to a level, and the cultivation level of the practitioner will also improve.
As time goes by, each beast soul is broken down into countless faintly glowing dots, as if they are atoms. According to the high-level practitioners, each atom is a projection of a beast soul. Then, these glowing dots are all aggregated together and condensed into ten beast souls again. This marks that the evolution process is about to be completed.
“Second Level!”
"I've finally upgraded!"
After about three hours, the evolution process of the beast soul was completed.
This marks that Zhang Ling's cultivation level has also been promoted to the second level!
Chapter completed!
