The responses surging through his body were like a thousand armies locked in battle, each scrambling to burst forth.
However, Chu Lingguang’s attention was currently focused entirely on the spear within his Dantian.
With a single thought.
A powerful presence emanated from his body, enveloping the entire room.
Within this presence, Chu Lingguang felt he held an absolute advantage. It seemed that every thrust he made would be impossible for an enemy to evade. They would be disrupted by his Potential Energy, their strength and state of mind both affected.
It was as if countless spears surrounded his opponent, ready to strike at any moment. Anyone who dared make a single rash move would be crushed by his Spear Stance.
"So, this is my Elixir Field Power."
"Master said there are three main categories of Elixir Field Power: objects, living creatures, and miscellaneous."
"Both Yan and I awakened objects. He got a saber, and I got a spear. We both awakened the weapons we’re most proficient with within our Dantian."
"This must be related to our primary skills."
Chu Lingguang muttered to himself.
Even before awakening his Elixir Field Power, he had learned about it from Guo Wei, Mo Shan, and others. For most people, the Elixir Field Power they awakened was the one most aligned with their own nature.
And the spear was precisely the power most suited to Chu Lingguang.
’I actually managed to form a Spear Stance.’
Sensing the change in the Potential Energy that filled the room, Chu Lingguang was both shocked and delighted. Awakening a spear in his Dantian was thrilling enough, but he never expected it to come with its own powerful presence.
It elevated his mastery of the spear directly to the third realm, allowing him to successfully form a Spear Stance.
’My ability to form a Spear Stance must be related to awakening multiple responses in my Dantian simultaneously. Yan’s and Tuoba Yunhong’s auras must have also been formed by awakening multiple responses in their own Dantians.’
’One response, one power. When multiple responses are awakened simultaneously, they form a powerful presence. That must be the origin of my Spear Stance.’
A sense of understanding washed over Chu Lingguang.
The Dantian was like a vast treasury. Every person’s Dantian could awaken power, yet not everyone was capable of achieving it.
It was related to the level of one’s Mental Realm, the Inner Power Heart Method used for Opening the Dantian and Qi Sea, and, most importantly, one’s cultivation level.
After countless efforts, Chu Lingguang had finally awakened his Elixir Field Power, obtaining a spear and forming a Spear Stance.
At the same time, his Mental Realm underwent a transformation, and he stepped into the state of Unity of Heart and Body. He could once again hear the various responses from within himself.
Because his Mental Realm had stabilized, the responses this time were far more intense than on the day of the Martial Arts Examination. It was like a thousand armies clashing within his body, the various responses vying to emerge as if terrified of being overlooked.
Yet, the stronger his Mental Realm grew, the calmer Chu Lingguang became.
He didn’t lose his composure or rush to awaken every single response.
Having already formed his Spear Stance, he now had a completely new understanding of these responses.
Cultivation involved awakening power from these responses and fusing them to break through the body’s limitations. However, he now understood that not every response resonated with the others, nor was every power compatible. Sometimes, mixing too many different powers would only hinder their fusion.
Likewise, too many responses could cause a Practitioner to feel Confusion and interfere with the process of awakening their power.
The only exception was if one could awaken the same type of power from all of them—for example, awakening the same Dragon Elephant Power from different bloodlines. In that case, the more responses, the better.
However, in his Mental Realm’s state of Unity of Heart and Body, the responses Chu Lingguang heard rarely came from the same source. Some emanated from his very bones, others were released from his bloodline or his blood, and some even echoed from his pores.
He could, in theory, awaken every single response one by one. But the more powers he amassed, the more difficult they would be to fuse. To achieve a breakthrough using these powers, Chu Lingguang had to do what he had done in his Dantian: find the points of harmony between the responses. He had to grasp that unique resonance to awaken the strongest power within his body.
He had to let that power form its own imposing presence!
Therefore, upon hearing all these disparate responses from his body, Chu Lingguang knew his first task was to find the points of harmony connecting them. He had to try to awaken the powers from responses sharing the same harmony simultaneously, thereby creating an even more formidable power.
He intended to follow the same method to find a shared harmony among the different responses. However, he knew it wouldn’t be easy. So, after withdrawing his Spear Stance, he simply went to sleep.
Awakening a spear from his Dantian and gaining a Spear Stance from it already felt incredibly fortunate. Now that his Mental Realm had reached the state of Unity of Heart and Body, those responses from his body weren’t going anywhere. Chu Lingguang knew he didn’t need to rush.
When it was time to rest, he would rest.
Even if his current strength couldn’t place him in the top five, and even if he wouldn’t receive guidance from the experts of Yuanchu Mountain in the future, Chu Lingguang understood that the most important thing right now was to let his body and mind recover.
Only then would he be able to find those rare points of harmony among the different responses.
After all, it had taken him more than twenty days just to find the point of harmony between the multiple responses within his single Dantian.
Finding the points of harmony for responses coming from completely different places would be far from easy. Cultivating without rest might even prove counterproductive.
This was a change in his mindset, brought about by the transformation of his Mental Realm.
His mind was clear now, and he knew with certainty that some things simply couldn’t be forced. To succeed at anything, the most crucial first step was to remain calm and patient.
