Chapter 2: Seven in One
Sun Qi looked at the little thing in his palm and liked it very much.
After all, this was the Spirit he had nurtured, and it was his Spirit Power that flowed through it!
The little stone monkey had golden hair when it first broke the stone, but now it has become dull and gray-gold.
It rubbed its eyes and subconsciously rubbed against Sun Qi's palm.
"Woo woo woo~~"
Sun Qi smiled and reached out to stroke the little stone monkey's head.
The little stone monkey's head was very smooth and very comfortable to rub.
"My name is Sun Qi, you are my Spirit, you have the same surname as me, from now on I will call you Xiao Sun and I am Lao Sun." Sun Qi said with a grin.
The little stone monkey nodded ignorantly.
It was a product of the Spirit, but it was a completely independent individual with its own consciousness.
Even though it was just born, it was very spiritual and could understand what Sun Qi said.
Seeing this, Sun Qi couldn't help but sigh. This was the magic of the Spirit.
It was probably because the little stone monkey had inherited some basic consciousness from him during its birth, and could understand what he said, and it also had sufficient spirituality.
Sun Qi wondered what state Yu Xiaogang's pig was in when it first awakened.
There was no way that pig could be smarter than his own little stone monkey.
"My innate Spirit Power is level one, which is already twice that of Yu Xiaogang!"
After awakening the Spirit, Sun Qi was not nervous at all.
Even if the innate Spirit Power was only level one, he was very relaxed.
It was because the other bodies had also awakened their Spirits one after another.
Seven bodies, all of them possessed innate Spirit Power!
Of course, possessing innate Spirit Power was not the most important thing. What made Sun Qi most relieved was that two of the seven bodies had full innate Spirit Power!
Indeed, two entities with full Innate Spirit Power.
Sun Qi knew how rare full Innate Spirit Power was in this era.
Of his seven original bodies, two had awakened to full Innate Spirit Power.
One of these two awakened twin Spirits, representing the head and arms, while the other awakened the Armor Spirit.
Besides these two, there were four others, ranked from lowest to highest Innate Spirit Power: the first-level Seal Spirit, the third-level Eye Spirit, the fifth-level Cloud Spirit, and the seventh-level Golden Cudgel Spirit.
Sun Qi's seven entities were governed by a single consciousness.
Although his soul consciousness was inherently powerful after his time traveling, due to his transmigration, it was distributed across seven entities, effectively preventing any overabundance of Spiritual Power, such as frequent comas.
As his body grew, he adapted to living with seven perspectives simultaneously, and mastering the seven functions of a single mind became an instinct.
This is perfectly normal, just like how an average person's field of vision might encompass an entire scene, but because they're watching TV, they only focus on the plot.
In Sun Qi's case, it's like the instincts of his seven bodies are helping him divide his attention among seven perspectives.
All seven entities have successfully awakened their Spirits, and the overall quality is excellent.
What makes him most relieved isn't just this, but the mutual compatibility of the seven Spirits.
In fact, the awakening of the Spirits of the other six entities wasn't necessary; simply witnessing Xiao Sun's awakening was enough to conjure up that legendary figure in his mind.
Now, a day later, with the awakening of the other entities, he's even more convinced.
"My Spirit is modeled after the Great Sage Equaling Heaven."
Not the Fighting Buddha, not Sun Xingzhe, but the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong.
Because he doesn't have the golden hoop!
"Well, Xiao Sun, Xiao Sun, you have to practice hard."
After Sun Qi fantasized for a moment, he returned to reality, focused his attention on Xiao Sun, and began to educate the child, telling it the importance of practice.
Xiao Sun was confused and listened to Sun Qi's words and kept them in mind.
"In this case, let's start practicing!"
Xiao Sun looked at Sun Qi blankly.
"Wuah~"
How to practice?
Sun Qi frowned and thought for a long time.
About ten minutes later, he woke up Xiao Sun who was beginning to doze off and explained to it the key points of meditation.
On the other side, Cloud Sun Qi, who had awakened the Cloud Spirit in Tianshui Academy, was sitting obediently opposite a young girl, listening attentively.
"Meditation is to concentrate one's own consciousness, feel the existence of the Spirit, and use Spirit Power to depict the Spirit..."
Holy Soul Village.
Xiao Sun squatted on the palm of Sun Qi, his head spinning around, feeling dizzy.
Ding, it didn't understand!
"Just mobilize the Spirit Power in your body. Logically, cultivation should be instinctive for you."
Sun Qi helplessly changed his words.
Xiao Sun soon fell on his palm and fell asleep.
Looking at the sleeping little stone monkey, Sun Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Forget it, this little guy is probably too young."
He didn't force Xiao Sun anymore, but began to try meditation himself.
Except for Sun Qi, the other six Sun Qis, except Cloud Sun Qi who was still listening to the lecture, the other five began to meditate.
Because they were of the same consciousness, their perceptions were connected.
In just a blink of an eye, they all understood the true meaning of meditation.
The difference lies in the different Spirits required to sense each other's true forms.
Sun Qi had already taken Xiao Sun back into his body, and as he felt the little creature snoring, he began his training.
Spirit Power flowed through the little stone monkey, as if massaging it, making it sleep more and more comfortably, occasionally murmuring in its sleep, as if applauding.
A night passed.
The next morning, Sun Qi was refreshed.
Despite not sleeping all night, he felt refreshed and full of energy.
"Having Spirit Power, being able to meditate and practice is truly a different feeling."
After just one night, Sun Qi fell in love with this feeling.
Of course, his joy was short-lived before he became melancholic.
Because he was controlling seven true forms simultaneously, he was very aware of the progress of each body that night.
The two true forms, which were born with full Spirit Power, could not increase their Spirit Power, and he could not sense the change.
Of the five remaining entities, Golden Cudgel Sun Qi, with level seven innate Spirit Power, gained a full half as much Spirit Power after a night of meditation as Cloud Sun Qi, with level five innate Spirit Power. Similarly, Cloud Sun Qi's Spirit Power increased by half as much as Eye Sun Qi, with level three innate Spirit Power, and Eye Sun Qi's Spirit Power increased by half as much as Sun Qi and Seal Sun Qi. Calculated this way, Golden Cudgel Sun Qi's Spirit Power increased by more than double that of Sun Qi.
If they were at full innate Spirit Power, the gap would be even greater!
"Although the seven entities are equally ranked, in the final fusion, Stone Monkey is the foundation, and yet, Stone Monkey's foundation is the weakest,"
Sun Qi pondered.
He knew that if he couldn't find a solution to this problem, then even if his Spirit closely matched the legend, it would ultimately remain unattainable.
He might even end up like Yu Xiaogang, stuck at level 30 for most of his life.
"I must find a way!"
