The Supreme One

Chapter 150 Research on the Characteristics of Spiritual Power

Therefore, when the spiritual power of heaven and earth enters into things, it does not have much rejection of the spirituality of the things themselves.

Of course, humans are special cases, which also reflects the strong repulsion between spiritualities with different information structures.

The so-called convergence is actually an individual thing. The internal spirituality is actually a whole, and the characteristics it manifests are naturally basically the same.

Of course, if the scope is expanded or the observation method is more detailed, some regional differences can still be discovered.

Just like in the entire Heliu Forest, in some places that are far apart, the characteristics of the spiritual power of heaven and earth are slightly different.

If we look at the world as a whole, we can see more clearly that the so-called spiritual power of different elements, such as fire spiritual power, earth spiritual power and the like, are still the spiritual power of heaven and earth, but their characteristics are obviously different.

However, this slight difference can obviously be basically ignored when it comes to small spiritual objects.

On the other hand, there is the difference between living things and dead things.

Living things, whether they are humans, animals, insects, plants, etc., are obviously complete individuals. The spirituality they possess is also more similar, and they are even like a complete whole.

Just like the existence of the soul, it is a qualitative change product formed by the gathering of a large number of same-sex spiritual beings.

Of course, there are some subtle differences in spirituality in different parts of the body.

Xia Xian had already obtained relevant data on this when he was conducting an experiment on human spiritual power rejection.

This means that an individual's spirituality itself still has a certain internal structure.

This structure is also basically related to the material structure of things themselves.

One characteristic of living things is that once part of the body is separated, some overall changes will occur.

If a small part is separated from a main body, the spirit in that small part of the body will undergo great changes.

Even living things like animals and insects have a more highly concentrated spirituality throughout their bodies. They have their own consciousness, and their bodies themselves have structures that generate and carry consciousness. Their spirituality is mainly concentrated in the consciousness-carrying structure.

After the other bodies are separated, they will soon lose their activity, and the spirituality within them will also undergo great changes. A part of the overall spirituality will directly dissipate, leaving only the spirituality of this body as the thing itself.

Living things with self-awareness have spirituality that is higher than what the material itself can possess!

This phenomenon is actually very reasonable.

What is spirituality? Spirituality is the vitality of all things, that is, the ability to move and change.

Just like a pond of living water compared to a pond of stagnant water, the living water is obviously more vibrant because it is constantly changing.

Everything itself, even stone and metal, is changing at the microscopic level.

However, compared to life forms that have their own subjective consciousness and can control their own movements, these creatures are naturally more vital and have more spirituality.

Correspondingly, the stronger the self-awareness, the stronger the spirituality will naturally be, the more changes it can trigger, and the stronger the vitality it represents.

This is actually equivalent to an independent small world with its own spiritual structure.

It's just that each individual life still depends on the outside world for its existence, so its underlying spiritual structure still has the shape of the big world.

To improve your spirituality, the main method in the early stage is to strengthen your body. Only with a strong body can you carry and accommodate more spirituality.

When the amount of spirituality that the body as a material itself can carry reaches its limit, it is necessary to take action on consciousness.

Just like Xia Xian himself now, because his brain has been strengthened to the limit, and he does a lot of study and thinking on a daily basis, he is also constantly training and strengthening his soul, so his soul still has some improvement.

However, the effect of such exercise is too weak, just like asking the body to become stronger through simple breathing and heartbeat.

So even now, Xia Xian's soul strength does not even have a natural growth of 0.1.

Xia Xian needs to find a real way to train and strengthen his spiritual soul in order to truly and quickly enhance the strength of his soul.

As for using other methods, such as directly taking elixirs, Xia Xian could have done it a long time ago.

No matter whether it is any spiritual object that can strengthen the soul, or any spiritual medicine learned later, it can be done.

This is just like increasing your body's strength through external force. It may seem stronger, but in fact the foundation is weak and will collapse at the slightest touch.

Moreover, the soul is too important. Those external objects with strong souls are equivalent to stuffing the external objects into the body. The soul is improved, but there is not much meaning in turning a piece of iron into a ball of cotton.

Even if you want to enrich these superficial parts later, you will have to spend more energy.

Adding something is not a difficult task, but modifying and upgrading it without damaging the added part is really difficult.

So even though there are many ways to improve soul strength, Xia Xian never tried them.

Before he figured out the underlying principles, Xia Xian was not used to doing things that he did not have absolute control over, especially when they involved himself.

As for the general information structure of spirituality, Xia Xian naturally did not have the ability to directly observe the specific information and structure therein.

However, by observing and studying a large number of appearances, we can also deduce some of the truth within these appearances.

Although the predecessors in the past did not know the essence of spiritual power, they had already done very comprehensive research on the characteristics of spiritual power.

And compared with equally complete physical research, it is simply not on the same level.

After all, no matter how much one studies the body, it is only used in the first extremely short eighteen years, which is only a very small part of a monk's long life.

Moreover, only a small number of monks conduct research on the body. Some of them are interested in body strengthening, and some are mainly engaged in physical cultivation.

However, even for physical cultivators, most of their research is about how to use spiritual power to better strengthen the body, or they want to study some physical techniques that can temporarily enhance strength.

The rest are even smaller numbers who really want to research better ways to strengthen their bodies, whether for the sake of the entire human race or their own families. Ultimately, they are contributing to the research on the human body.

However, the study of the characteristics of spiritual power is a completely different matter.

Not only the human cultivators, but also the cultivators of all other races, who doesn't study the characteristics of spiritual power?

Even if you don't want to research anything new, but simply want to learn certain spiritual arts, you still have to study the characteristics of spiritual power.

With so many monks and an extremely long period of time accumulated, even if the probability of discovering something is very low, it is still a continuous contribution to the research on the characteristics of spiritual power.

By the time Xia Xian reached this stage, the research on the characteristics of spiritual power had been basically completed, leaving almost no room for Xia Xian to continue to explore.

However, under such circumstances, Xia Xian naturally did not feel any dissatisfaction, but was very happy instead.

This does not require you to spend more energy to explore unknown areas. You just need to collect the experience and knowledge of your predecessors and study the deeper essence.

But the result is that Xia Xian had spent a lot of time studying before, and his research on the characteristics of spiritual power was extremely in-depth. He even worked out the formula for the combination and change of spiritual power characteristics through the appearance of spiritual power characteristics.

Xia Xian basically already knew how those spiritual power characteristics were combined, what effects they could play, and what changes would occur.

Compared to those predecessors who could barely do this, Xia Xian simply had a more thorough understanding of the characteristics of spiritual power, and the formulas for the changes in spiritual power characteristics he derived also enabled him to obtain the spiritual power characteristics he wanted more easily.

But that was where the research stopped. Xia Xian had never figured out the true nature of spiritual power until he suddenly realized it just now, when he was enlightened by the saying that all things have spirits.

Otherwise, even if he could successfully research it, it would probably take a lot of time.

Now, after knowing the nature of spiritual power, combined with the knowledge of spiritual power characteristics that I once mastered, I have naturally done a lot of research on the spiritual information structure.

Although he didn't know exactly what it was made of, he knew its specific functions.

In terms of actual effect, the formula for the change of spiritual power characteristics that he had previously derived has been greatly simplified from being extremely complex.

Many seemingly different transformation formulas, however, found common ground in the essence of spiritual power and were greatly reduced.

This means that the study of the characteristics of spiritual power, which used to require a lot of time to deduce and calculate, can now save a lot of calculations and get the answer very quickly.

Moreover, some things that were completely impossible to do before now at least have the direction and ability to start.

For example, the medicinal properties and spiritual power of elixirs. Before, Xia Xian had no idea how to eliminate this easily changeable characteristic of medicinal properties and spiritual power.

And now, Xia Xian naturally has the direction to achieve this.

But it’s just a direction.

In order to solve the volatile nature of medicinal spiritual power, it is naturally necessary to stabilize the unstable information structure that is accumulated in its spiritual power.

Or simply optimize these information structures and transform them directly from various scattered parts into a complete information structure!

The knowledge mainly involved in this point is still the characteristics of spiritual power, or the common characteristics of information structure in spirituality.

In the characteristic spiritual power of general spiritual objects, although it has the entire information structure of this thing, it does not mean that this characteristic spiritual power is a complete replica of the energy form of this thing.

Because spirituality itself is not as stable as matter, it is full of changes. How can it be exactly the same as things themselves?
