Due to the defects and what my martial soul represents for my future cultivation I can't exactly be casual so learning and combining knowledge and theories about cultivation is of utmost importance be it from this world and the ideas from my previous life more specifically on the relationship of the three treasures and one's martial soul
Any martial soul has three sides which respectively represent a person's bloodline, spirit power, and mental force collectively called elements of the spirit which correspond to the three treasures .
This is a stable structure; under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to destroy it. That's why the Soul Master cultivation system has been able to continue for tens of thousands of years, and it's also very difficult to modify it.
However, there are differences between people, just as there are no two identical leaves in the World, there are no completely identical people in the World.
Even with the same Spirit, appearing identical, there are differences in the spirit power and mental force within. But no matter how great the difference, the overall structure of the Spirit remains unchanged; it is a triangle!
And the total length of these three sides represents the current physical quality of the human body, including body, aura, mental force, and so on.
If a person's bloodline power is very strong, but their mental force is average, to ensure the stability of the Spirit, their spirit power will be very high... But no matter how high, the three combined still represent that person's physical quality at the current stage!
Since the formation of the spirit ha a stable structure. Any change in one of the Three Elements will cause changes in the other two. As long as the sum of two of the can outweigh the third, the Spirit can be stably inherited, and the overall structure always remains a triangle.
If the sum of two doesn't outweigh the third then it will cause the Spirit to self-compensate, which is mutation!
For example, when bloodline is insufficient, the Spirit will excavate more bloodline power from the body, including from parents, or even ancestors.
When spirit power is insufficient, it will also excavate higher Innate Spirit Power from within the body—which is what can be called 'beneficial mutation'!'
The physical strength you consume can be replenished through eating, and the spirit power you consume can be restored through cultivation, but what about the mental force you consume? You can recover it just by sleeping!
Physical strength and spirit power both require external replenishment, so why doesn't mental force? Because it is inherently infinite and boundless, constantly in a state of consumption and replenishment.
What we consume is only a very small part of the mental force we can normally access! When a Spirit awakens, it only excavates a portion from that infinite mental force to form the mental force component.
The most perfect cultivation is naturally when the three elements of the Spirit are balanced, like the three sides of a triangle being equal in length. This not only allows for a high tolerance for error but also promises a sufficiently broad future.
But currently, many Soul Masters only focus on spirit power, believing that once their spirit power reaches level ten and can no longer be improved, they will hunt for spirit rings to break the limit and continue improving, while neglecting the dual improvement of bloodline and Spirit, which means they haven't truly reached the limit of their physical capabilities.
And when acquiring a spirit ring, the Soul Master's physical fitness and Spirit will also be strengthened, which means the three sides of the triangle will increase in length. It's just that in order to maximize improvement, there is the so-called optimal spirit ring configuration.
Little do they know that as long as the three elements—bloodline, spirit power, and Spirit—are all raised to their current stage's limit at each stage, even if all white spirit rings are hunted, the Spirit can still steadily improve, and the future will be broad enough!
But if the balance of the three elements is ignored, and the direction planned for the Spirit is always skewed, coupled with only focusing on spirit power level while neglecting bloodline and Spirit, then the triangle will become increasingly narrow, and eventually, one will find that no matter how they cultivate, their soul power cannot progress.
But how does regulate the three treasures and balance the three elements of a martial soul using soul power note that there are two systems for running soul power in the human body they are the gears the drive the growth of the soul master cultivation system
These two operating systems complement each other and can jointly promote the continuous improvement of a soul master's realm.
The first is the meridian circulation system in the human body and the second is the soul power operation system inside the martial soul itself that is used to maintain the growth of the martial soul and is not directly controlled by the soul master.
If there is a conflict between the two, it will affect the progress of mankind.
This is the so-called Soul Master bottleneck!
In this situation, unless the deficiencies are compensated and the imbalances are alleviated, one will remain at that level for life. If the imbalance is in the bloodline, it can even be inherited by offspring.
A Martial Soul is composed of bloodline, spirit power, and Spirit so as the best supplement and important node of soul master cultivation a soul ring is also the same in addition to helping a soul master breakthrough bottlenecks
There is reason why meditation is the method of practice and why self created soul skills are rare and usually passed down on families and universal soul skills are rare due compatibility issues.
It's not that they don't want to teach but that it's almost impossible to learn even then there are certain pre-requisites which can be blamed on the lack of basic cultivation knowledge in this world as I am not a cultivator or experience in my previous life I should honestly use meditation as a guide to get started with cultivation
I am very lucky in that when I awakened my martial soul I already have a backer as needing to supplement it through acquired cultivation and take it a step further and aim for martial soul evolution
The biggest characteristic of the Douluo Plane is martial soul although this world is called fantasy floor tile it is undoubtedly an cultivation world with a very high ceiling as for why bother study theory to have a safety net to ensure that I don't go astray and gather faith if I ever need to
So creating and writing a book which will be a compilation of my cultivation insights and ideas and leave a mark of my existence that can be used as inheritance and finally resolve the defects of my family's inherited martial soul fortunately this defect doesn't limit the upper limit of cultivation that could be achieved unlike the seven treasures sect
