The soul is the foundation of living things. The reason why the puppets in the King of Martial Arts realm are called living beings is that they have their own consciousness and souls!
Different creatures may have different bodies, they may be made of metal like puppets, or flesh and blood, or plants like bodhi trees, but the reason why creatures are living beings is because of one thing in common, the soul!
Once it touches the soul, it feels like returning to the arms of the mother, that feeling, comfortable, safe and peaceful!
Yang Qi sensed the dragon and phoenix auras that had merged together in the depths of his soul, but was slightly startled, "This feeling is indeed very comfortable, but... what's going on with the dragon and phoenix auras in my soul?"
The soul contains the aura of dragon and phoenix, and it is in the deepest part of the soul, as if it was born with it. This strange situation has never been mentioned in either Li Tianyang's soul guidance or Emperor Haoyang's inherited memory.
"If this is innate, then it should be because the practitioners of the Earth lineage are born with powerful souls." Yang Qi said secretly.
It is impossible for a normal practitioner to have the aura of dragon and phoenix in his soul. In addition, Feng Yan had mentioned the aura of dragon and phoenix on him before. Combined with the special nature of the Earth lineage's naturally powerful souls, Yang Qi vaguely guessed that the aura of dragon and phoenix deep in the soul was most likely the source of the Earth lineage's souls being stronger than other practitioners!
“Although I can sense the aura of dragon and phoenix, if I want to know the impact of the aura of dragon and phoenix on the soul, I’m afraid I need to comprehend the soul to a very high level.” Yang Qi smiled bitterly in his heart.
He has only just touched upon the soul path and wants to know the impact of the dragon and phoenix auras. Even if he uses all of his remaining life span to comprehend the soul path, he may not be able to do it!
Shaking his head, Yang Qi stopped thinking about these things. Now that he had touched upon the soul, he was already able to practice the means of soul guidance and recording.
The soul methods recorded in the Soul Guide are all basic applications, namely soul impact, soul oppression, and soul fortification. The first two are soul attack methods, and the last one is a soul defense method. In addition, there is a method called soul explosion, which is a secret method of detonating part of one's own soul to enhance the soul's attack and defense power, which is somewhat similar to the practitioner burning his life span.
Soul impact, as the name implies, is to condense the power of the soul to impact the enemy's soul, while soul oppression is to rely on the power of the soul to suppress the opponent's soul. These two methods are very effective for practitioners whose soul strength is not as strong as oneself, or whose soul strength is equal to oneself, but if one encounters a practitioner whose soul strength is far stronger than oneself, it is easy to be backfired. Soul strong wall, on the other hand, is to use the power of the soul to form a solid defensive wall to block the enemy's soul attack.
After trying out the soul-guiding recording method, Yang Qi smiled bitterly and said, "It is indeed the most basic method of application. It is really basic enough."
The means recorded in the Soul Induction are like the battles of ordinary people. If one of them uses some exertion techniques, he can win if the strength difference is not too big. However, if he encounters a strong enemy, the techniques will be completely useless.
Recalling the battle between Li Tianyang and Wu Qian, Yang Qi understood a little bit and murmured, "No wonder Li Tianyang couldn't use soul attack methods. It should be because he used soul explosion before, and his soul was extremely weak. If he used soul attack methods again, he would only suffer backlash."
Li Tianyang had fled to Earth after the fall of the Black Demon Sect. He had paid a heavy price to escape from the siege of several martial kings. During the battle with Wu Qian, Li Tianyang had not recovered at all, and his soul strength was not as good as Zhang Sanfeng and Wu Qian, so he naturally did not dare to use soul means, otherwise he would only die faster.
Yang Qi's eyes focused, a gleam of light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he thought to himself, "Although it is only a basic application of the soul, it also depends on the person using it. With my soul strength, if I use soul attack methods, even a mid-level martial king will be affected. If I use soul explosion, I'm afraid it can affect a high-level martial king."
The practitioner's abilities will improve with age, and his strength will also improve.
Because of his practice of the Source Divine Canon, Yang Qi's soul strength is much stronger than that of ordinary martial king practitioners. Even the basic means of using the soul can be exerted with great power in his hands. This is somewhat similar to one force defeating ten skills. Yang Qi completely relies on his own powerful soul to crush the opponent's soul.
“It’s a pity that the comprehension of the soul is too difficult. Otherwise, if I could master the soul methods in the memory passed down by Emperor Haoyang, relying on my powerful soul, I’m afraid I could directly kill the soul of an ordinary Martial King.” Yang Qi sighed lightly.
Even with his powerful soul, Yang Qi would need a lot of time to improve his understanding of the soul to the level of using the soul methods recorded in the memory of Emperor Haoyang. Although according to Emperor Haoyang's records, even if this soul method is mastered, it can only affect the opponent's strength, but Yang Qi's soul is much stronger than Emperor Haoyang's records, and he may be able to kill ordinary martial king souls.
It's like a child holding a sharp knife can only hurt people because he doesn't have enough strength to pierce the blade too deeply into the body. But if it were an adult, he could directly pierce the enemy's body and take his life.
After mastering the soul means recorded in the Soul Guidance, Yang Qi continued to practice the Origin Divine Scripture. His cultivation had entered the Martial King realm, so he naturally needed the support of the Source Realm Pearl to practice the fourth level of the Origin Divine Scripture. As the Source Divine Scripture absorbed the origin, his soul and body were also slowly improving.
I don’t know how long he had been practicing, but the unusual movement of the signal talisman made Yang Qi wake up and end his retreat. However, Yun Lan and Liu Fei had already come out.
In the following days, Yang Qi accompanied Yun Lan while practicing. However, what surprised him the most was that Yan Chihuo came to ask for advice after learning that he had realized the way of fire. Yang Qi was also generous to this senior brother who had helped him before, and fully expressed his own experience and understanding of the artistic conception of fire, which made Yan Chihuo gain a lot.
Yan Chihuo's talent was not low to begin with, otherwise he would not have entered the Nine-Star Martial Lord realm at such an early age. Even Lin Qingyu commented that Yan Chihuo had the potential to reach the Martial King realm. Now with the guidance of Yang Qi, a Martial King realm master who had realized the way of fire, Yan Chihuo's cultivation speed was also greatly increased.
Peaceful days will always be broken, and the one that broke Yang Qi's peaceful days was none other than the returning thunderclouds.
When Lei Yun saw Yang Qi, he immediately blew his beard and glared, "Good boy, if big brother hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you had broken through to the Martial King Realm."
“Senior, it is indeed my fault at this time, but this matter still needs to be kept secret, so…” Yang Qi explained with a wry smile.
“Of course I can understand keeping it a secret, but…” Lei Yun’s eyes fell on Yang Qi, and he laughed, “If you give me the corpse of a Martial King Realm monster, I will pretend that this incident never happened.” (To be continued)
