Chapter 172 The Way of Spirit Weapons and the Soul Clan

But if you get so close, it's obvious that you'll end up running into someone else's house if you're not careful.

Spirituality is also exclusive. Under normal circumstances, it repels other spiritual powers from approaching.

However, when these certain amounts of spiritual power formed a spiritual body, it was obviously not so easy to let go of the enemy who broke into its home. It directly input all the information of this small amount of external spiritual power at the same time.

Such interaction of spiritual powers will obviously bring more spiritual power disturbances until it completely explodes.

In order to prevent this kind of spiritual energy from running wild, there has naturally been no shortage of talented cultivators throughout history. With the accumulation of knowledge from generation to generation, they have also developed many methods of blocking it.

It seems to be diverse and profound, but it can be summarized into two methods.

First, to restrain, second, to isolate!

After all, what spiritual weapons need is for each spiritual object to retain the spiritual characteristics of each other, rather than integrating a large number of spiritual characteristics like spiritual medicine.

And even if the spiritual weapon may have some problems, at least in most cases it will not directly hurt people, and the cultivator can significantly improve his combat effectiveness by holding it.

As a result, a large number of spiritual weapon masters have continued to conduct research from generation to generation, and have repeatedly pushed the limits of spiritual weapons.

However, their research directions and methods are different. They did not study the deeper principles of spiritual power characteristics. Instead, they studied spiritual arts like this, and most of them relied on inexplicable insights and spent a lot of time on continuous attempts.

The most popular method of converging and isolating spiritual power characteristics is to use special spiritual objects as partitions to separate them.

After all, there are countless spiritual power characteristics in the world, and many of them have isolating effects.

Of course, this method looks simple, but it obviously consumes more energy and requires more skills to refine.

In addition to this, the spiritual object needs to be pre-processed, so spiritual techniques or other methods can be used to block the spiritual power that escapes from the spiritual object.

Of course, there are various other niche methods. After so many years of development, there are too many of them to mention in detail.

In addition to these commonly distributed spiritual weapons, there are even more precious magical weapons.

Magical instruments have spiritual patterns engraved on them through various methods, or simply using objects with original spiritual patterns to make magical instruments.

This magical weapon has all kinds of spiritual abilities, which can be activated by stimulating spiritual power.

Of course, in addition to these, there are also magical artifacts like the Book of Endlessness that Xia Xian owns.

There is not much to say about divine weapons, they are too rare and powerful, while magic weapons and spiritual weapons are actually similar.

The reason why cultivators refine magical instruments and spiritual tools, that is, the phenomenon of forced spiritual infection, is that they rely on large amounts of spirituality to divide and refine the magical instruments and spiritual tools bit by bit.

It is obvious that the magic weapons and spiritual weapons refined by cultivators are naturally of the same level or even higher than themselves, so that they can have sufficient effect on themselves.

Therefore, it is obviously impossible to refine the entire magical weapon or spiritual weapon at one time.

The method of refining magic tools and spiritual tools also uses the method of division, dividing them into small parts to form a sufficient gap in spiritual volume.

In fact, it is similar to refining spiritual power, which is completed bit by bit.

Obviously, it is not a difficult task for monks who have mastered various spiritual arts to separate and isolate magical weapons.

Of course, this also means that the speed of refining varies from person to person, and because the methods of refining spiritual tools are different, it may not be possible to find the most suitable and fastest dividing point, and the refining speeds will also be different.

Such refining, that is, the emergence of the effect of forced spiritual infection, will also allow the spiritual information structure of the cultivator to be preserved in the spirituality of the spiritual weapon, so that when it is used again, it can be used as easily as an arm.

Not only will you feel a great sense of comfort when wielding it, even the spiritual properties or spiritual pattern effects on it can be controlled more easily according to your mind.

This is a representative phenomenon of forced spiritual infection, which allows other spirits to be firmly infected with one's own spiritual information, so as to achieve the effect of making it as if it were one's own thing, and to be easily driven at will.

Therefore, Xia Xian’s current top priority is to strengthen his soul.

As long as his soul strength reaches a certain level, it means that his physical spiritual body is strong enough.

At this time, it is no longer a problem to use one's own spirituality to forcibly infect the spiritual power and force it into one's own shape.

The reason why other cultivators do not need to be forcibly infected is because the spiritual power itself is inclusive enough to actively accept the cultivator's physical information.

It’s a pity that they humans are outsiders after all. They either choose to give up their original selves and integrate into the group, or they have to follow Xia Xian’s path and use force.

That is why he needs to strengthen his soul to a certain degree before he can truly embark on the path of cultivation.

Compared with others, the difficulty is obviously much higher, but as long as there is hope of completion, for Xia Xian it is just a matter of spending more time and energy.

So at present, it can be said that strengthening the soul is a level that he cannot bypass.

And even if we find other ways to embark on the path of cultivation now, strengthening the soul is obviously an unavoidable key that needs to be thoroughly studied sooner or later.

Master Bai Mulin learned about Xia Xian's arrangements and didn't say much about it.

He also knew the talent of his disciple, so he didn't need to worry about anything in his cultivation.

However, as a master, when I am unable to decide the future direction for my disciples, I can only provide some other assistance.

"Well, Xiao Xian, since you are researching the method of strengthening the soul, you should also know that there is a race in the world with experience that can give you enough reference, right?"

"Race? Give me some reference?"

When Xia Xian heard what his master said, he nodded.

As for experiences that can be learned from, for him, as long as the experience is relevant and unknown, it can be learned from.

Especially the knowledge about the soul. No matter how different this race seems to be from humans, and how different their souls seem to be, at their core, they are all a collection of spirituality!

Therefore, as long as the knowledge is related to the soul, he can learn from it, and there is no need to stick to a specific race.

It’s a pity that the methods of cultivating and strengthening the soul are already relatively advanced information in this world. Even after countless years of accumulation, there has not been much breakthrough.

In other words, their breakthrough and the breakthrough that Xia Xian needed were not in the same direction.

For cultivators in the past, the cultivation and strengthening of the soul was just about making it bigger and stronger; the fundamentals were not that important.

It only requires the soul to become larger in size, or even stronger and harder in nature, which is enough for cultivators to break through the realm.

So it’s not that the predecessors didn’t gain anything, it’s just that it was simply of little use to Xia Xian.

Even though some of the knowledge made Xia Xian feel amazed, it was not what he needed after all.

Such as elevating the essence of the soul.

It is not like making the soul bigger or something, but it is about making the soul stronger while keeping the same volume, just like turning a volume of cotton into steel.

The mystery behind it and the methods used were so exquisite that even Xia Xian was amazed after reading it, and he even gained a lot of knowledge from it.

It’s a pity that the core knowledge of spiritual enhancement has not been fully touched upon, and the direction has also deviated somewhat from the main line that Xia Xian needs.

So I can only write it down for now, and wait until I find the core knowledge of spiritual enhancement to put it to use later.

After Xia Xian thought about what his master said, he roughly understood it.

Obviously, what the master meant was not that the knowledge of all races was applicable as he thought, and among them, the race that was most related to the soul, or that directly pointed to the soul, was undoubtedly only that strange race.

The Soul Clan belongs to the same spiritual race of heaven and earth as the Undead, Forest Spirits, and Holy Spirits, and specializes in the way of the soul!

The Undead race mainly studies the ways of death.

Forest spirits, also known as the Forest Clan, practice the great way of natural life.

The Holy Spirit Clan, on the other hand, cultivates the great ways of the various elements according to the attributes of the elements from which they were born.

As for the Soul Clan, they are even more peculiar. In fact, they should be considered a kind of holy spirit, a spirit of heaven and earth born in a place with rich soul power.

The reason why they were separated into a separate clan was naturally because of their large numbers.

After all, the key to the spirit of heaven and earth is to gather souls, and places with rich souls are obviously easier to gather souls.

At the same time, compared to the various spirits of heaven and earth that have almost no way of giving birth to direct offspring, the soul clan can even blend each other's soul power to give birth to true direct offspring!

This is different from Master Baimulin and the Wood Sons who possess some of the power of the Forest Clan.

Although these seem to be descendants of the Sen tribe, they are still not from the same tribe and can only be considered as collateral descendants.

This is even more true as for the Holy Spirits of the Dead. From ancient times to the present, there has been no recorded example of them giving birth to any direct descendants. Even their collateral descendants are extremely rare.

It just so happened that there was such a soul clan, which naturally grasped the conditions for giving birth to direct offspring. Even though the probability of giving birth to offspring is still extremely low, they can finally become an independent clan.

The Soul Clan, as its name suggests, is an independent soul body in itself, and is also a natural out-of-body cultivator.

Therefore, it is also obvious that his life, actions, and cultivation all have a direct effect on the soul.

When it comes to the study of the soul, no other group in the world can match them.

Xia Xian naturally answered directly: "Master, you are talking about the Soul Spirit Clan, right? But even if the Soul Spirit Clan has become a clan, they are too rare, and they don't have much contact with humans. There is no trace of them at all. It is too difficult and troublesome to learn from them. It is better to do experiments and research on your own."
