Chapter 37 Deep Meditation, Another Breakthrough
Like Xiao Xiao in the original work, her twin martial souls, the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and the Nine Phoenixes Arriving Flute, are both weapon martial souls, and their grades are far inferior to Kong Tianxu's Silver Dragon and his original body. Therefore, she was able to successfully use the technique of using twin martial souls at the same time when she only had the cultivation of a Great Soul Master.
However, once her cultivation level increased, she was no longer able to do it.
After carefully scanning the area, Kong Tianxu couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly when his eyes regained their clear purple hue.
It seems I was being too suspicious; the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy didn't install any surveillance equipment here.
That's true. These people were so careless as to not take any protective measures in Huo Yuhao's dormitory when he came to be a spy, so they would be even less likely to take such precautions for themselves.
Sitting down on the already made bed, Kong Tianxu began to relive the changes that had occurred in his spiritual sea. The instantaneous surge and tumultuousness replayed in his mind time and time again. He seemed to have vaguely grasped something, but he couldn't quite feel it.
In this repeated quest, he once again entered a state of deep meditation.
Two deep meditations in a row—that's quite astonishing.
It is important to know that Soul Masters usually cultivate in two ways: ordinary meditation and deep meditation. During ordinary meditation, if they are disturbed by the outside world or perceive changes in the outside world, they will wake up on their own and will not be greatly affected. Therefore, this kind of meditation is also called shallow cultivation.
Deep meditation, on the other hand, is a state that is rare and hard to attain. It is a state that arises from insights gained during ordinary meditation, allowing the mind to naturally sink into a state of cultivation, where the person is completely in a state of deep concentration and no longer perceives changes in the outside world. Usually, one can only awaken on their own.
During deep meditation, a Soul Master's Soul Power will circulate on its own, at a faster rate than during ordinary meditation.
Furthermore, deep meditation greatly enhances one's understanding, making it easier to see through things that are difficult to comprehend in normal times. The effect of one deep meditation session can even surpass the improvement gained from ten ordinary meditation sessions.
Every Soul Master hopes to enter a state of deep meditation during cultivation, especially when they are about to break through a bottleneck. If they are lucky enough to encounter deep meditation, there is almost an 80% or higher chance of successfully breaking through.
The way to distinguish between ordinary meditation and deep meditation is also very simple. In ordinary meditation, there will be no changes on the surface of the body, and the soul power will just circulate in the body on its own. Unless it is a special technique or a breakthrough, it will be slightly released. For example, when Kong Tianxu was cultivating the Myriad Beginnings Returning to Origin Domain, he would release golden light.
During deep meditation, as a form of self-protection, a portion of the soul power will spontaneously overflow from the soul master's body to protect themselves, while also concealing all of the soul master's aura.
Because deep meditation involves profound understanding and practice, it is most vulnerable to disturbance. Once disturbed, it can easily lead to mental instability and serious harm to the body.
However, Kong Tianxu was not like that at this moment. As soon as a faint silver light appeared on his body, the luxurious luster that seemed like a treasure was completely absorbed into his body. From the surface, it was no different from ordinary meditation.
Unlike conventional Soul Masters, even when Kong Tianxu is in a deep meditative state, he still retains a portion of his conscious awareness through his physical spirit. He can observe and influence his own state changes from a third-person perspective without affecting the effects of deep meditation.
This is why he dared to let his body enter a deep meditative state in the classroom before; he could exit this state at any time if he wanted to.
Kong Tianxu has developed his martial spirit to the extreme. No matter what environment he is in, he will do his best to eliminate any potential dangers.
When he awoke from his deep meditation, he felt a warmth throughout his body, an indescribable comfort. His sea of consciousness hadn't expanded significantly, but it had become more solid, and his soul power had made considerable progress.
Not long ago, he was at the peak of level 45, but now he has broken through to level 46 and has at least a quarter of the way to level 47.
The immense benefits of this deep meditation are evident.
If only I could stay in a state of deep meditation forever, but unfortunately, this is something that can only be encountered by chance.
Jumping out of bed, Kong Tianxu looked at the sky outside, which was gradually darkening, and immediately felt hungry.
As if remembering something, he quickly changed into his school uniform and hurried downstairs.
The weather today is really not good. Fine drizzle falls in a dense, persistent patter, bringing a chill to this late summer season.
Kong Tianxu didn't pay attention. Just as he was about to use his soul power barrier to step into the rain, his eyes flickered slightly, and he turned his head to look to the left.
An umbrella was already held up, and under it stood a person wearing a moon-white school uniform, with long, golden hair simply tied back. In the rainy night, the person possessed an elfin beauty, and their large, sapphire-blue eyes were full of spirit and a hint of expectation.
"How long have you been waiting here?" Kong Tianxu asked her with a slight smile.
"It's been almost an hour."
Cain brushed aside a few rain-soaked strands of hair, a strange look in his eyes. He handed over one of the lunchboxes, his voice soft with expectation:
"Master was waiting for you, but I knew you might have been delayed by your cultivation, so I told him to go back first. Shall we go to Crescent Lake for a meal together? I heard the scenery there is beautiful."
Kong Tianxu knew she would never lie to him, so he gently agreed. The girl turned and led the way with a little bit of excitement.
The two walked slowly toward their destination, their feet sinking into the damp ground. Normally, Kong Tianxu would complete these daily chores as quickly as possible.
Today, I finally slowed down, listened to the patter of rain, and felt the soft breathing around me, and I found a tranquility unlike anything I'd experienced before.
Arriving excitedly at Crescent Lake, I found that a layer of metal netting had already surrounded the entire lake area, indicating that some facilities were about to be renovated.
"Sorry, Tianxu, I only heard about it from someone else... You made a wasted trip and are now hungry. Shall we go find a pavilion?"
Cain was visibly downcast, forcing a smile of apology as he pointed to a building not far away.
Before she could finish speaking, a hand gently grasped her wrist.
"We're right here." Kong Tianxu brushed her jade-like nose, his powerful soul force rising to block out the rain. With his five fingers forming claws, he effortlessly tore open the rare metal barrier and brought her inside.
Cain pursed her lips and tightened her grip on that hand. It was as if she had returned to that rainy night in the Jingyang Mountains many years ago, when she was surrounded by soul beasts and filled with despair, and it was this same hand that pulled her out of the mud and fear.
The rain wasn't too heavy, and the umbrellas were enough to cover them. The two left some gold soul coins as compensation by the fence, then found a chair to dry themselves and sat down.
The food in the evening was relatively light, with the sweet aroma of porridge rising slowly, lingering in the rain rather than dissipating.
