Chapter 6 Aiming for Perfection, First Cultivation
Of course, there is also a very important point, which is that if the innate attributes of a martial soul can approach or reach their extreme, it will naturally not be restrained.
This point was already vividly demonstrated in the original novel when Shui Bing'er fought against Tang San.
Even though Tang San ate the immortal herb and gained the abilities of fire immunity and ice immunity, he was still completely suppressed in front of Shui Bing'er's near-ultimate ice power, and his so-called immunity was just a formality.
Its extreme attributes are enough to disregard the rules.
Unfortunately, Huo Wu wasn't so lucky.
Her prized flames caused almost no effective damage to Tang San; in fact, it could be said that the power of her flames was even less than that of Ma Hongjun, who possessed a chicken-like martial soul.
The reason for this is simply that the purity of the attribute is insufficient.
If we divide the extreme properties of elements into four distinct levels.
The first tier consists of the legendary "ultimate attributes," such as ultimate fire and ultimate ice, which are extremely rare, one in ten thousand.
The second tier is "near-ultimate attribute". Although it is not perfect, it is far beyond the ordinary. Only the top-level martial souls have it, and it is a single element with a single attribute.
The third level is the type like Fire Dance.
The innate attributes brought about by the mutation of the martial soul are considered advanced, far surpassing those of ordinary fire attribute soul masters, yet there is still an insurmountable chasm between them and true top geniuses.
The fourth level, naturally, consists of the most common and ordinary elemental attributes.
And my current situation is so similar to that of Huo Wu.
Both being innate attributes resulting from benign mutations in martial souls, the light attribute inherent in the Light and Shadow martial soul can at best be considered within the "advanced" category.
It's more than enough to deal with ordinary Soul Masters, but if it encounters a Soul Master with top-tier attributes, its fate might not be much better than Huo-Wu's.
At that time, my light attribute was probably just a joke in front of the other party.
It seems that the primary goal going forward is to do everything possible to purify and evolve one's own light attributes, until finally reaching that elusive "ultimate light".
Otherwise, let alone striving for further advancement, they probably wouldn't even qualify to be a true rival.
With these thoughts cleared, the fog in Ye Feng's mind was completely lifted, and the path ahead became clearer than ever before.
He slowly withdrew his Light and Shadow Martial Soul, and a strong sense of fatigue instantly swept over him, a natural reaction after a long period of intense mental concentration.
Ye Feng could no longer hold on and collapsed onto the simple wooden bed. Almost the instant his head hit the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep, snoring loudly.
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed.
Ye Feng's life has been exceptionally fulfilling these past two months.
During the day, she is the most diligent waiter at the Red Romantic Hotel, serving tea and water, greeting guests, and doing her humble job flawlessly.
At night, he would transform into the most studious student, pestering Manager Wang Dali to painstakingly study the common language of Douluo Continent, word by word.
Wang Dali also treated this genius waiter with innate seventh-level soul power differently, as if he were investing in his future, and taught him patiently and tirelessly.
Relying on his adult soul and understanding from his previous life, coupled with his relentless drive, Ye Feng finally managed to escape the realm of illiteracy and become able to read books independently.
Today is a day that will go down in history for him.
It was late at night.
Ye Feng took out the book "Basic Meditation Method" from his pocket, which had been flipped through so many times that the edges were slightly curled.
This is the only cultivation resource we obtained from Su Yuntao, and it is extremely precious.
Instead of rushing to start, I sat cross-legged on the bed and, by the moonlight streaming in through the window, carefully read it three times from beginning to end.
Every word, every sentence, and every meridian pathway was carefully studied until they were completely imprinted in the depths of the mind, ensuring that there would be no mistakes whatsoever.
"call……"
Ye Feng let out a long breath, carefully put the booklet away, and then slowly closed his eyes.
According to the general principles stated at the beginning of the meditation method, the first step in cultivation is to "cleanse worldly thoughts and sense the universe".
To put it simply, it's about calming your mind and trying to sense the free-floating energy in the air.
This was not a difficult task for Ye Feng, whose temperament was already far beyond that of his peers.
Empty your mind, discard all distracting thoughts, and your entire being gradually sinks into an endless darkness.
Time passed by, second by second.
A quarter of an hour.
Half an hour.
One hour.
The surrounding air seemed unchanged, and the so-called "energy of heaven and earth" was ethereal and elusive, impossible to find.
For an ordinary person who has never been exposed to cultivation to sense soul power on their first try is nothing short of a pipe dream.
This requires painstaking effort and unwavering patience.
Continuing to immerse myself in meditation, my consciousness is like a lone boat adrift in a deathly black ocean, trying again and again to establish that faint connection with the outside world.
After an unknown amount of time, just as his mental state was about to reach its limit and his consciousness began to dissipate.
Sudden.
In that eternal darkness, a tiny, almost imperceptible golden light flashed without warning.
Although it was only a fleeting moment, it was instantly captured by Ye Feng's highly concentrated mental power!
that's it!
Ye Feng was shocked. All his consciousness frantically focused at this moment, probing towards the location where the light had appeared.
Sure enough, a moment later, another golden dot appeared.
Then came the third, the fourth...
More and more golden specks of light began to emerge in the dark world he "saw," sparse and faint like fireflies on a summer night, yet truly present.
These are the energy particles in the universe!
It worked!
Ye Feng suppressed his inner joy and immediately began to try the second step, "Guiding Qi into the Body," as recorded in the meditation method.
He carefully separated a wisp of his spiritual energy, like an invisible tentacle, and slowly and tentatively moved toward the nearest golden light.
The point of light seemed to have its own consciousness; sensing the approach of spiritual energy, it swayed slightly and dodged away.
Ye Feng was not surprised. He once again manipulated his mental energy to wrap around it even more gently.
once.
twice.
Ten times.
Hundreds of times.
This tedious process tests one's patience and control to the extreme.
Finally, after tireless efforts, the golden dot seemed to give up its resistance and was successfully "sticked" to by his mental power.
Ye Feng dared not be careless in the slightest. He immediately followed the cultivation method and used his mental power to guide the hard-won first energy point towards his body.
This process was more difficult than I had imagined.
The point of light seemed to weigh a ton, and with each inch it moved, Ye Feng felt his mental energy being severely depleted.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his face turned somewhat pale.
Nearly.
closer.
The moment that golden light finally touched his skin.
"Buzz!"
An indescribable coolness instantly spread from the point of contact, as if a long-parched riverbed had finally received its first drop of sweet rain.
Ye Feng's spirits lifted, and without hesitation, he immediately guided this extremely weak energy towards the first barrier in his meridians, following the instructions in the meditation method!
