"In addition to innate talent and acquired efforts, the results of a person's cultivation must also take into account the huge role of resources and state of mind."
"It can be said arbitrarily that any strong person who can cultivate to the level of Super Douluo, in addition to the talent that makes him stand out among his peers from the beginning, will also have a great influence on the resources he obtained during his growth, such as the elixirs he eats, the soul rings and soul bones he absorbs, or any special treasures he eats..."
"But after reaching the 95th level of Super Douluo, the importance of state of mind will begin to surpass resources. Unless it is some rare opportunity, it cannot compare to a smooth state of mind. Only with a smooth state of mind can one achieve the best understanding and perception of the martial soul."
"As for this state of mind, it is not necessarily necessary to insist on being aboveboard and upright. Aren't there also top-notch masters among those evil soul masters?"
"The key to the state of mind is to strengthen one's own belief in cultivation and to match it with one's own martial soul. For example, your master believes that one should not take action unless it is necessary, and once one takes action, it is fatal..."
On the surging sea, a ship equipped with advanced soul guidance equipment and a streamlined hull sailed against the wind and waves. The matchmaker in the cabin was driving the boat. Xu Xiaoyun pointed at the stars in the night sky and told Xu Tianxi some unique views of the elderly.
Xu Xiaoyun paused every few words. Xu Tianxi, who was sitting next to him, nodded repeatedly. When he heard something exciting, he applauded, with a gleam in his eyes.
The Far North is located in the northern border of the Tianhun Empire. The Hanhai City, where the headquarters of the Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce is located, is located in the western part of the Tianhun Empire. At this time, they are sailing along the vast coastline from the northern border to the western border of the Tianhun Empire. The journey is long.
There is no moon tonight. It is boring to practice blindly. It is also good to listen to the interesting stories of the elderly.
"Let's take your master uncle Xiao Changfeng as an example. He achieved the Titled Douluo realm at the age of thirty-five, and broke through to level ninety-three after absorbing the soul rings and soul bones of the hundred-thousand-year-old jade Saker Falcon."
"Five years later, he broke through to level ninety-five, and then practiced in seclusion with me for twelve years. He broke through to level ninety-six and went to Hanhai City to take over the position of president of the Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce. It was exactly seven years ago."
Xu Xiaoyun introduced his direct disciple to Xu Tianxi with a smile, and then changed the subject and found the most suitable negative example.
"Let's talk about Yan Shaozhe. He is the strongest man in Shrek Academy and the direct disciple of Moon En, the master of Poseidon Pavilion. He has top-notch resources for cultivation. Except for one set of 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones that your master has, his other resources are no worse than your master's, and even better."
"I also admit that I can't compare with Moon En in terms of understanding cultivation. He is a limit Douluo, and his understanding of the power of light is well-deserved to be the best in the world. No one is more suitable to be Yan Shaozhe's teacher than him. Shrek has a history of thousands of years, and maybe there is something that our Xuanming Sect doesn't have."
"He has outstanding talent and has been practicing for much longer than your master, but he has probably been standing still at the level of 95 for decades. What do you think of him, Tianxi?"
What do you think? There is something wrong with the awakened martial spirit of this guy. If he inherited the Dark Holy Dragon, wouldn't he be able to fly all the way?
When talking about Yan Shaozhe, Xu Tianxi couldn't help but think of his identity as "the descendant of the Holy Spirit Church's Supreme Leader Ye Xishui and Supreme Worshiper Long Xiaoyao". This origin is indeed "evil roots and black seedlings".
Judging from his origin, Yan Shaozhe's qualifications for being elected as the leader are second only to "the son of the former Holy Spirit Church leader Zhongli Laogui and the Supreme Leader Ye Xishui" Zhongli Wu.
After organizing his words, Xu Tianxi raised his eyes and answered the question: "He has a very bad mind and is not suitable for the Light Phoenix Martial Soul."
"Yes!"
Xu Xiaoyun said with a satisfied look of "a teachable child",
"This person is a typical example of a person whose mind and martial soul are completely incompatible, resulting in slow progress in cultivation! People like him are not suitable for the Light Phoenix at all, but the Dark Phoenix and even the Evil Phoenix are very suitable."
"Tianxi, you must take this as a warning and choose the most suitable cultivation belief for yourself in the future."
Judging from what you said, although Yan Shaozhe does not have the Evil Phoenix Martial Soul, he has experienced the taste of the Evil Phoenix. Xu Tianxi silently complained about Yan Shaozhe's romantic affairs when he was young, and his heart was touched.
This kind of thing is a mess. Feng Ling, the deputy leader of the contemporary Holy Spirit Church, was once Yan Shaozhe's girlfriend, and now she is Zhongli Wu's wife. How can we talk about their relationship?
Feng Ling did not become Yan Shaozhe's wife, but she became his aunt or even great-aunt? Yan Shaozhe and Zhongli Wu, a pair of relatives, have become like-minded people?
As expected of the Tang Continent's distinctive triangle, the relationship between the Holy Spirit Church and Shrek is so complicated and confusing...
After complaining about this group of bloody guys, Xu Tianxi turned to think about his own future, and confusion soon emerged in his eyes, "Grandmaster, I understand what you mean, but I have a question..."
"What's the question?"
Xu Tianxi stroked his chin, puzzled, "My Fantasy Moon Mysterious Pupil is the body martial soul. What kind of cultivation belief should I choose for this kind of martial soul? Is it the same as those guys in the Body Sect who act ostentatiously?"
"There is no need to think about long-term cultivation goals. I am very sober now. In the future, I must go to Shrek City to avenge the gluttonous Douluo Xuanzi who killed my mother and the hatred of Yan Shaozhe who humiliated my mother."
"And this time should not be too long."
At this point, Xu Tianxi's tone was calm and natural, his eyes were clear and indifferent, revealing a calmness that was not in line with his age.
"Well... it's not necessary. Those guys in the Body Sect are both good and evil, and their behavior is unpredictable. Sometimes they are quite hateful."
Xu Xiaoyun calmed down and recalled his experience of dealing with the two generations of the Sect Masters of the Body Sect, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Those guys are not bad people. They are very loyal and very protective of their shortcomings. But their behavior of making big news at every turn... He doesn't quite approve of it, but he respects it.
He completely understands that the disciples and elders of the sect are killing 100,000-year soul beasts, but these guys are too reckless. It is not untrue that they caused a beast tide and affected civilians.
"But those guys are both good and evil, and their casual state of mind is something we can learn. Our soul masters must pay attention to a carefree state of mind when practicing, and we must know the limits." Xu Xiaoyun smiled and said, "I don't want you to be restricted by those rules and regulations. As long as we do what an orthodox soul master should do, it's fine to do things like being chivalrous and righteous, but remember to do it within your ability and don't sacrifice yourself for the sake of being a hero."
He said meaningfully, "You must know that there are still many evil guys in this world. Some of the powerful ones among these guys even make me afraid. You are still a great soul master who has just entered the world of soul masters. It is not your turn to bear the big responsibilities, and you can't bear them."
"Disciples of the Shrek Inner Court have accidents on the mainland every year. Those Soul Sects, Soul Kings, and even the top geniuses of the inner court with the cultivation of Soul Emperors and Soul Saints will die in accidents, let alone a little kid like you. Upholding justice is often the power of Titled Douluo."
In the past two years, he found that this child was kind-hearted. He would express compassion to civilians from time to time, and occasionally give some copper soul coins to some ragged civilians struggling between life and death when he went out.
He once asked with a smile why he didn't give them gold soul coins, but Xu Tianxi, who was still a child, said in a low mood, "Giving them gold soul coins means letting them die, they can't save themselves..."
This doesn't sound like what a child would say, but it is indeed what a precocious child would say; Xu Tianxi's temperament changed drastically after Kong Xiyue's death. He would stay in the library for a while every day, reading all kinds of miscellaneous books on martial soul cultivation and continental history, almost like a different person.
As an elder, Xu Xiaoyun was full of regret, but all he could do was to give more guidance to prevent this promising junior from going to extremes.
He and people like Long Xiaoyao and Moon En also experienced the turbulent years of their youth. At that time, they were young and didn't know how high the sky was. They just faced life with passion. They would kill evil and take action when they encountered injustice. They just thought that there was nothing they couldn't do in heaven and earth.
But the higher his cultivation, the more darkness he saw, and the more he felt that the dark side of the world was not that simple: apart from the strong ones among the evil soul masters, many evil bandits who harmed civilians were backed by nobles, or they were simply the minions of the nobles, doing some shameful things for the nobles, such as robbing other people's property, or making it easier for the nobles to stop the thief.
It was easy to kill one of these nobles, but it was difficult to kill them all. He couldn't fight the whole country alone, and neither could Moon En and Long Xiaoyao. Moreover, these two people changed after their cultivation became higher. All he could do was to keep himself safe and protect his family.
Xu Tianxi might be able to do it in the future, but not now.
"You're right, but I think that one doesn't necessarily have to have the cultivation level of a Titled Douluo to change the world."
"Dang-dang-dang-"
Xu Tianxi took out a row of second-level fixed-installation soul guide shells that he had made by himself from his storage ring. He squatted down and knocked out clear and pleasant sounds. A sunny smile shone in his eyes, and he smiled brilliantly at Xu Xiaoyun:
"Master, these second-level fixed-installation soul guide shells can pose a life threat to Soul Sect powerhouses. If they all explode, Soul Kings will also be in a panic and even injured."
"My talent for soul guides is still very good. If I can become a ninth-level soul engineer, I will start with a ninth-level fixed-installation soul guide shell. I think there will still be many people willing to listen to me."
"If one is not enough, then two, three. Those who are willing to listen to me can follow me, and those who don't want to listen can follow the ninth-level fixed-installation soul guide shells. Do you think I'm right?"
Xu Tianxi openly promoted his theory of "fire coverage makes people obedient". His little face was very serious, as if he was completely unaware of how terrible what he was saying was.
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyun's mouth twitched visibly, and he was speechless for a while:
"...You kid, the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell is an invincible killing weapon. If you throw one, the world will be turned upside down. If you don't stay away early, or if your cultivation is not high enough, you will be swept into the energy wave and turned into nothing."
"To use the ninth-level fixed-install soul guide shells in battle, you must have at least the cultivation of an eighth-ring soul douluo. This is because you have the talent of twin martial souls. If it were any other ninth-level soul guide, the titled douluo would never be willing to use it easily, because using it would mean both sides would perish."
Xu Tianxi pursed his lips and smiled, nodded and said, "Don't worry, master. Before that, I will definitely use more fixed-install soul guide shells to accumulate experience, and strive to improve my firing level when I reach the eighth ring."
Xu Xiaoyun was amused by Xu Tianxi's words, and nodded Xu Tianxi's forehead with a smile and scolding, "Look at what you said, kid, your second-level fixed-install soul guide shells can pose a life threat to soul sects, where can you find a target with the cultivation of soul sects to practice with?"
"Don't look at the fact that there are so many masters in our Xuanming Sect. Outside, Soul Masters are the best of the best. Soul Masters can even get the noble title of the three empires after making contributions. It's not easy to see one."
Xu Tianxi blinked and said, "Aren't there evil soul masters?"
Xu Xiaoyun laughed and shook his head,
"That's even harder to find. Those gutter rats have always been cautious and dare not show up in a big way. Even to hunt soul rings, they rarely go to the Star Dou Great Forest, and often come to secret places like the sea to hunt soul rings…"
At this time, Yue Lao, who was holding the steering wheel, suddenly spoke, and his old voice was full of vigilance.
"Ancestor Xu, the soul guide scanner shows that there are several soul masters fighting soul beasts a few miles away from us, and they are rushing towards us at a fast speed."
"Huh?"
Xu Xiaoyun looked up, his eyesight penetrating a few miles away, and then his eyes sank, "Ten Thousand Soul Banner Martial Soul? Resentful Ghost Martial Soul? How come there are really evil soul masters coming?"
Xu Tianxi reminded in a low voice beside him: "You seemed to say just now that those sewer rats like to come to secret places like the sea to hunt soul rings?"
Xu Xiaoyun: "..."
That makes sense.
