Chapter 692 Different Understandings

Dao Soul.Soul.The young celestial beings of the Heavenly Realm all cultivated simultaneously across four realms, making Li An wonder if the development of the soul in the mortal world was insufficient.When he was young, he fought Qi Wuguang, and his research into how to counter the soul was agonizingly complex.Later, when he reached this stage of cultivating the soul, the powerful told him not to force it; as his Dao Fruit advanced, his soul would naturally advance.From beginning to end, Li An didn't spend much time on the path of the soul.Dao Soul, Dao Heart, Soul—these three terms refer to the same thing.The Heavenly Dao Soul is a characteristic, the Soul Realm is its strength, and the Dao Heart that everyone talks about is just a common term.Is the Soul, the Dao Soul, related to replenishing the power of the heavens?Li An went to ask Mr. Li.Mr. Li's calm eyes still held inexhaustible wisdom.He said calmly, "The soul is the most fragile substance in the world. A normal person's soul weighs only about 0.7 grams. When a person dies, having lost their vital essence, their soul also loses its protection and is blown away by the winds of the mortal realm.""Those with sufficiently high soul realms can reach the corners of reincarnation and be reborn.""These are the basic outlines of the soul.""The celestial realm has discovered that as long as the soul is not destroyed, a person is not truly dead. If we use an electronic device as an analogy, the soul is like an innate portable hard drive, storing everything about you.""As long as you protect this hard drive, you can install it on a new computer, and you will be reborn on that new computer.""Therefore, people began to study how to protect the soul, in order to..." "Living longer.""But there's a group of people in this world, called martial arts fanatics, or extreme practitioners, like Xiao Fan.""In their eyes, there's only one thing—power.""Living isn't important; living unparalleled is what matters.""When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, everyone gets stuck on a common bottleneck, commonly known as the Heavenly Dao.""Extreme practitioners spend their entire lives pursuing even greater power.""In their eyes, how can the soul be something used to save one's life?""Everything in my body must be used for fighting, otherwise it's not considered giving it my all.""Extreme practitioners are also among the strongest people in the world. They possess extraordinary talent and research how to imbue their souls with powerful destructive force, making them the best weapons." "The most widespread school of thought is called the 'Clone Flow.' When their soul cultivation reaches a bottleneck, they will use the heavens as a knife to cut their soul in two, then find a body and store this 'portable hard drive' inside.""This is a dangerous thing. When a person's soul is split in two, their Dao Soul, cultivation level, and many things related to survival will be damaged and weakened.""But once they overcome the period of weakness, those powerful individuals can restore their soul to its original level and also raise the level of their other clone. Then the Clone Flow is considered to have reached its peak.""This person can repeat this process endlessly, cutting their soul again and again, thus creating an extraordinary army.""Unfortunately, the heavens will not stand idly by and watch this..." "When this happened, the powerful cultivators of the clone technique were punished by Heaven.""However, in recent years, Heaven has become blind. Perhaps some people's hearts have begun to stir again, or they may have already secretly begun planning their clone techniques.""I understand what you're thinking. After the soul is split in two, is it still one person? Aren't they two independent individuals?""Yes, two independent individuals, but those who reach the pinnacle of cultivation are all madmen; they don't care about such things.""However, on this matter, Xiao Fan and I have reached a consensus: we both believe that those in the Celestial Realm have only superficially developed their souls.""Although Heaven dotes on its children, it has still held back, not revealing the true secrets of the soul to them." Li An knew he was about to reach a crucial point and immediately listened intently, his face full of seriousness.Li Xiaocao narrated, "The Celestial Realm has used the Qi of Fortune for countless millennia, developing a strong path dependency. They believe that through calculation, they can deduce all the answers to this world.""But human calculation is no match for Heaven's calculation.""The reason Xiao Fan and I were able to see through this mystery is because we come from another world. Our concepts are completely different from those of the Celestial Realm, and we have no path dependency. We believe that to find certain truths, we need not only dialectics but also imagination.""Use imagination to conjure up the answer, and then proceed through dialectics.""I'll tell you the final answer directly.""We imagine the Heavenly Dao as a tree that can grow infinitely, let's call it the World Tree.""All living beings are its..." "Branches, blown away by the wind, fall to the earth and become seeds.""Therefore, souls are seeds yet to sprout.""It is well known that powerful beings possessing a Dao Soul have their own unique aura, but in the eyes of the world, that is merely a temperament.""But that's because their souls have not yet sprouted and formed new trees.""The reason Xiao Fan could single-handedly fight against the thirteen kingdoms in the Heavenly Realm is precisely because of this.""He is not merely a peerless Dao Fruit master of the fifteenth Heaven, but a Dao Lord of the fifteenth Heaven, a peerless Dao Master of the fifteenth Heaven."Hearing this, Li An's face surged with immense emotion, a powerful surge of feeling causing him to stand up uncontrollably, his body trembling.Because of excitement.Too much excitement.He condensed his Heavenly Dao Soul, endured countless hardships to reach the fifteenth Heaven, and finally awakened divinity and dreams—so what?Could he then sweep through the Heavenly Realm?Could he then protect this world in the palm of his hand?Not only is it impossible, but even the casualty rate might not be significantly reduced in the future. Those who fight alongside him will still die, and he still won't be able to grasp that perfect outcome.Until today, Li Xiaocao told him that there is still a crucial combat power system in this world that no one has cultivated. This means that if he can master this path, it will be equivalent to being significantly stronger than others out of thin air.He has gained confidence.Li Xiaocao quietly looked at Li An and said, "Don't get so excited so soon.""The difference in information between us and them is merely the difference in the way we cultivate our Dao Soul.""Below the Celestial Realm, we cultivate the Dao Fruit.""The Celestial Realm cultivates the Dao Soul; that's common knowledge.""It's just that the cultivation methods we possess are different from theirs."
