Chapter Nineteen: Copper Coins Recovered

  This semester's final exam has come to an end, and the school has officially announced the start of summer vacation. There is no exact news on when the new semester will begin, probably not until after the Beast Invasion incident has passed.

  Yang Tong went home with the trophy in his arms.

  Dad and mom were very happy when they knew that Yang Tong got the championship of the total tournament, so they bought a lot of good dishes and celebrated happily.

  At night, Yang Tong was alone in his room, took out the beast crystal and said to the copper coin with his mind: "The energy is coming, absorb it."

  A low-grade superior beast crystal held in one's hand would be completely absorbed within a short fifteen minutes.

  Yang Tong hastily changed another one.

  An hour and a half later, all ten beast crystals Yang Tong had obtained were completely depleted.

  The bronze coin jumped out of Yang Tong's Tianling, emitting a faint purple glow. The shallowest wound on the coin was clearly visible and gradually recovered until it disappeared.

  At the moment when the wound disappeared, a purple light shot into Yang Tong's brow, and then turned into a ray of light that pierced into Yang Tong's sea of consciousness.

  Yang Tong received countless pieces of information from the purple light, and was digesting them. At the same time, the counterfeit copper coin began to spew out a mysterious power as soon as it entered Yang Tong's sea of consciousness, nourishing his sea of consciousness.

  Yang Tong's horizon was gradually expanding.

  Originally, Yang Tong's sea of consciousness was likened to a large pond, but now the pond had become a lake. The size of one's sea of consciousness determined the strength or weakness of their spiritual power. To become a divine thought master, it went without saying that those born with exceptionally strong spiritual power would have the upper hand.

  Yang Tong's obvious change in the sea of knowledge was just one of them. After Yang Tong digested the information about copper coins, he woke up with a satisfied smile on his face.

  This copper coin is just as Yang Tong imagined, a treasure of the immortal family. Its real name is called: Zhen Hun Zi Qian. Most importantly, it's only one quarter of a pre-heavenly spiritual treasure. In an extremely distant era before the infinite cycle, that treasure was severely damaged and transformed into four copper coins - cyan, purple, white, and yellow - each disappearing in different directions.

  This time, by coincidence, Ziqian recovered his spiritual consciousness and acknowledged Yangtong as the master, which opened up Ziqian's power. Town Soul Purple Money, as its name suggests, is a soul defense treasure. The six scars left on its body are like the six seals of confinement. Each time a scar is repaired, and if the owner's soul can withstand the power, one seal can be unlocked.

  The first seal has been opened, and this Soul Defense Treasure has activated the effect of developing the soul's potential. It can increase the master's spiritual power by tenfold, condense the soul's energy, and make it easier to comprehend the powerful willpower.

  Apart from the efficacy of the treasure itself, there is also some transmission of cultivation knowledge. For ordinary people to cultivate, they must follow a gradual and orderly process, not allowing even half a point of carelessness. All living beings are divided into two major elements, namely the physical body and the soul.

  The way of cultivation is to cultivate around these two major elements. In the words of ancient Huaxia, one is to make the physical body sacred and the other is to merge the primordial spirit with the Tao. Of course, there are also profound methods that cultivate both internally and externally.

  No matter which path one cultivates, they must complement each other. It's not that those who cultivate their physical bodies are strong while their souls are weak, nor is it that those who cultivate their souls are strong while their physical bodies are weak.

  This contrast is relative, a 9th-level Wuling master's physical body is absolutely stronger than a 9th-level Shenying master. However, a 1st-level Wuling master's soul is absolutely much stronger than a 9th-level Wushi apprentice.

  Yang Tong also gained insight into the secrets of awakening from his understanding of copper coins. Whether it was a martial spirit master or a divine thought master, their awakening foundation was determined by their will. A person born with strong spiritual power would become a divine thought master after awakening, while a person with average spiritual power would awaken as a martial spirit master.

  Whether it's a Martial Spirit Master or a Divine Thought Master, they all rely on their will to activate the hidden power within their body and generate spiritual energy before they can awaken. After awakening, whether one becomes a Martial Spirit Master or a Divine Thought Master depends on that person's own destiny.

  The mortal stage is the stage of ordinary people, at this stage, the three souls and seven spirits are scattered in the body and have not gathered together. After slowly cultivating and becoming stronger, some people will stand out, understand the strong will, and then condense the three souls and seven spirits with their will, activate the hidden power of the flesh, this is awakening!

  Yang Tong got the information clearly indicated that this step was called by the Xian family: Departing from the ordinary!

  Yang Tong only got the clear information of the Departure stage, wanting more information, probably can only open the second seal. Of course, Departure is called Awakening in Feng Xuan Continent.

  Transcending or awakening is like a heavy lock, tightly trapping all living beings. Any living being that wants to pursue immortality, pursue power, or pursue the Way of Heaven must first break this lock.

  Having grasped one's will, one can concentrate their soul. Having concentrated their soul, they can activate the spiritual power within their body, and then awaken.

  Yang Tong is different, he has already begun to condense his soul, and it won't be long before the three souls and seven spirits can condense into one body. Of course, just condensing the soul does not mean that Yang Tong can activate the spiritual power in his body and finally awaken.

  The soul is the foundation of a living being, but willpower is what makes it strong. Without strong willpower, one cannot become a strong person. Willpower is like a general, and the power of the soul and spirit are its soldiers.

  So, to sum it up, the key to Yang Tong's ability to transcend the ordinary lies in his willpower. However, Yang Tong being able to condense his soul and gather the power of his soul is also beneficial. The condensation of the soul will give rise to the power of the soul, and with a strong power of the soul, one can broaden their spiritual sea. The broader the spiritual sea, the stronger the spiritual energy. The stronger the spiritual energy, the more likely it is that after awakening, one will become a divine thought master, and also an extremely powerful divine thought master, with greater potential.

  So, taking a step ahead to condense the soul may not make Yang Tong strong immediately, but it can increase his potential. A hidden dragon in the abyss, once the wind and clouds meet, can transform into a flying dragon in the sky.

  The second seal can only be repaired after awakening, and at that time, there should be a transmission of post-transcendence cultivation knowledge.

  "Ah, sleep!" Yang Tong forced himself to calm down and rest. The process of gathering his soul was slow and couldn't be done in an instant, after all, it wasn't awakening, there was still a gap.

  Lying comfortably in bed, Yang Tong slowly calmed down with an excellent state of mind and composure, closing his eyes. "Tomorrow will be even better!"
