Chapter 3: Future Path
🕑 Added 2025-02-27 10:32:40 +0000 UTC“There are only a few top forces on the continent that can compete with the Spirit Pagoda. Shrek, Tang Sect, and War God Temple are the three best choices.”
Even though Xu Yuan was only six years old, Xu Shengqun did not treat him as a six-year-old. Instead, he analyzed his situation very seriously.
“Among them, Shrek does not hinder you from joining the other two. You can try to get into Shrek. Even if it is just the outer courtyard, you can accumulate foundation through the outer courtyard’s channels. Even if you enter the inner courtyard, the impact will not be too great.”
“As for the Tang Sect, they are too particular about one’s origin. With your true identity, even if you pass their entry requirements, you will not be able to enter the core. However, you should be able to obtain the Tang Sect’s Xuantian Gong and Purple Demon Eye. These two unique skills are very suitable for you.”
“As for the Temple of War God, you have to go through the military route. If you are interested, I will do my best to help you arrange an identity.”
“Actually, I don’t recommend you to enter the Temple of War God. It is under the jurisdiction of the parliament.” Xu Shengqun was silent for a moment and continued, “It belongs to the government.”
The word "official" seems to have a different meaning in Xu Shengqun’s mouth.
If it is official, it means it is too formal.
The Spirit Pagoda has many members in the parliament, so if it really wants to investigate the Temple of War God, there will be no hindrance at all.
“Shrek and Tang Sect are actually the most suitable for you. They are too independent, and that is why they can better conceal your identity.”
“Of course, once you are labeled as a Tang Sect member, you can’t take it off. If you can’t enter the core, then you can only get two or three unique skills at most. But you must belong to the Tang Sect for life and you must not betray it, otherwise you will have to take back all the unique skills you have obtained.”
“So, among these three forces, the only one I recommend you to join is Shrek.”
Xu Yuan listened to his uncle’s analysis and nodded.
“Shrek is just an academy. It doesn’t matter if you join other forces after graduation. You can choose a force. The Tang Sect and the Temple of War God are not suitable for you, but there are other top forces on the continent. One of them is particularly suitable for you.”
“The Benti Sect.” Xu Yuan guessed it himself without Xu Shengqun saying anything.
Xu Shengqun nodded and said with a smile: “Yes, the Body Sect is even more suitable for you than Shrek. They are more protective of their shortcomings, and the threshold is extremely low.”
Xu Yuan’s mouth twitched.
It’s more than low.
The Body Sect claims that all soul masters with body martial souls are their family members.
“Speaking of the Body Sect, your uncle does have connections. I can let you become the sect master’s disciple directly.” Xu Shengqun said with a smile.
Xu Yuan was really moved.
Mu Ye is definitely the best choice to become a disciple on this continent. Not to mention the secret techniques of the Body Sect, but also the many delicacies from land and sea, his extremely protective personality, and his relationship with the master craftsman Zhenhua.
“It seems that you are attracted to him.” Xu Shengqun knew from the look in Xu Yuan’s eyes that his recommendation was very much to his taste.
“The Shrek enrollment will not be held until a year later, and you have just awakened your martial spirit. Obviously, you will not be able to catch up this time. Wait for the next enrollment or the next one. Now I will help you contact the Body Sect.”
“Okay, thank you for your help, uncle.”
“Why be so polite to your uncle?” Xu Shengqun patted Xu Yuan’s shoulder and said with a smile.
Xu Yuan looked at the advanced meditation method in his hand, and a look of enlightenment appeared on his face from time to time.
“The meditation method has actually developed a complete soul power circulation route.”
Yu Xiaogang 20,000 years ago was able to summarize the information and come up with a route, so it doesn’t make sense that no other martial arts except Xuantian Gong have been invented 20,000 years later.
It was okay in the primitive era at that time, and it was okay in the chaotic era ten thousand years ago, but it is ridiculous that we cannot research this thing in modern times with the rapid development of soul guide technology.
“It’s just that it’s not called an internal power technique anymore. In fact, the meditation method itself has been updated and upgraded.”
Except for the basic meditation method, the rest of the meditation methods are fundamentally different from the meditation methods of 20,000 years ago.
“Different from the pursuit of inner strength in Xuantian Gong, the soul power circulation routes in meditation method all pursue the speed and intensity of soul power cultivation, but do not pay attention to the so-called endless life, let alone the so-called moderation and peace.
In contrast, the essence of meditation has not changed. While using the soul power circulation route to make soul power cultivation more efficient, the core meditation part is also constantly being explored. “
Xu Yuan had in his hands not only the information circulating on the mainland, but his father Xu Zhiben was a researcher and also served as the deputy director of the Spirit Pagoda’s main research institute. He had access to a vast amount of information and had collected a lot of information related to soul master cultivation.
These were also found by Xu Zhi using his own authority and prepared for Xu Shengqun to cultivate his soul power, so the information remained in Xu Shengqun’s hands.
Xu Yuan officially began to practice, and Xu Shengqun also found the information for him.
“Try meditation first.”
The operation route is complicated, but entering the meditative state is very simple.
Xu Yuan just tried it and quickly got into the state.
In the dim space, the Tianyuan Brushwas suspended. The brush shaft was gray in color, dotted with black lines. It looked quite mysterious. The brushtip was round and neat, and the tip was sharp.
His consciousness was immersed in this special meditation space. There was only a Tianyuan brush. However, Xu Yuan could feel that his martial soul in his brain also existed, but it seemed to exist in this space along with his consciousness.
“Is this the magic of the main body martial spirit?”
He did not delve into the special features of his own martial soul, but instead deeply sensed his own martial soul and used it to perceive the outside world.
His consciousness merged into his martial soul, and the dark space around him gradually became brighter. Points of light of various colors emerged and were captured by him and merged into himself.
He constantly captured spots of light and integrated them into himself. The soul power in his body fused the spots of light, which circulated in his body over and over again, blending with his martial soul again and again.
This process of absorbing and transforming vital energy was very wonderful, and it brought Xu Yuan an instinctive joy.
This practice lasted for one night.
Early morning.
Opening his eyes, Xu Yuan slowly exhaled.
“Soul power has increased a bit.”
At this moment, the soul power in his body has increased slightly.
Every bit of soul power growth is the result of capturing vital energy during the meditation process. As the soul power circulates, the soul master’s body and mind merge with it, and the martial soul blends with it. The soul master can naturally feel its growth clearly.
“The natural dispersion of soul power during meditation is more suitable for martial souls. It scatters and wanders in the body along with the essence of martial souls, but it is too vague and uncertain, and is not as efficient as the standardized soul power circulation route.”
After truly practicing, Xu Yuan had a very profound feeling.
Meditation is actually the most suitable method of practice for soul masters.
However, during the meditation process, the natural dispersion of soul power is very irregular. Even if it is more in line with the martial soul, it is not as effective as a standardized and unified route for those who are just starting to practice soul power.
Of course, this is also a process of exploration for soul masters.
The so-called route is just a template, a reference.
When a truly high-level soul master meditates, the flow of soul power in his body is completely different from the meditation method he originally learned.
With practice, the circulation of the so-called soul power would actually have been adjusted by the soul master himself long ago, becoming more suitable for the natural control of the soul power by the martial soul during meditation.
In fact, it’s not that there are no martial arts in Douluo Continent.
It’s just that every high-level soul master on the continent has figured out a ‘kung fu’ that suits him or her during the process of cultivation.
This ‘technique’ is not strong, but it suits me best.
“First, I will master the route of my uncle’s meditation method, and then adjust it to a state that suits me.” Xu Yuan also had a clear plan for his future soul power training.
Only—
“Which route should I take?”
This is an era where bloodline is supreme. With the birth of the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, not to mention any dragon-related martial spirits, even your weapon martial spirits will be pulled out to shock you and affect your performance.
