“There’s one more thing,” Chen Cong’s expression turned serious, “about your cooperation with Xiao Yi.”

"Although you two have always worked side by side with perfect teamwork, and can understand each other almost without words, your individual strength and methods have improved too much and too fast in the past few years since you separated."

He emphasized the speed of change, saying, “New forces require new adjustments. The changes in your fighting styles, the boundaries of your abilities, and the degree of control you have over the new forces all need to be explored bit by bit in real combat, constantly improving that tacit understanding so that it adapts to your current level.”

“Simulation in the training ground is not enough; we need a real, high-pressure environment.”

Chen Xiaojun continued to stare intently at Xiaoyi, who was becoming calmer: she sat still as a statue, surrounded by a profound Daoist aura that blended into three layers—the spiritual realm was like a bright mirror hanging high, the life realm was like a mother's nourishment, and the true meaning of the five elements was like the evolution of laws.

At the heart of all this lies the state of unity between man and vine, a state of self-illumination of spiritual light, established by the "spiritual vine's original heart," presenting an almost natural harmony and unity.

In a flash, the essence of the Daoist canon from his past life flashed through Chen Xiaojun's mind: "The Daoist classics describe 'the three selves'..."

"Second Uncle," Chen Xiaojun suppressed the shock in his heart, his eyes gleaming with a desire for confirmation, as he looked at Chen Cong, "the 'Spirit Vine Essence' realm you spoke of, where the Martial Soul completely transforms into the resonance of life itself..."

"Isn't this similar to the state of 'realizing one's true self' that Taoist sages pursued—breaking free from delusions and returning to one's original true nature?!"

"Is her 'true self' at this moment the complete and seamless integration of her martial spirit with her life form?"

Chen Cong was engrossed in the mysteries of the Five Elements' circulation when he heard this, as if struck by lightning.

Although he was not very proficient in the Taoist "Three Selves" metaphysics, the two phrases "the true self manifests" and "breaking through false attachments to reveal the true nature" were like a key that precisely pried open the hard shell of his martial spirit theory!
"Wonderful! Wonderful indeed!" Chen Cong clapped his hands in praise, his eyes gleaming with wisdom as he looked at Xiao Yi as if she were a living Daoist scripture!
“Xiao Jun, the ‘true self’ you speak of, in this light, is precisely the human-vine-shared soul body forged by the ‘spiritual vine’s true heart’.”

"This is the 'true self' under the Martial Soul system—it is the true state of resonance between the Martial Soul and the origin of life, revealed after a Soul Master has shed their obsession with control!"

He excitedly pointed to the strange phenomena flowing around Xiaoyi: "Look! Only in this state of 'original mind' harmony can her spirit be as clear and pure as a mirror, and thus more clearly capture the trajectory of the deep flow of the five elements' energy."

"Ultimately, through the concrete manifestation of these five elements' trajectories, we can glimpse the more fundamental laws and rhythms of heaven and earth that govern its flow; this is almost 'following the natural way'!"

"The meaning of life is the root of the true self, the spiritual realm is the mirror of the self, and the mutual generation of the five elements reveals the way of the transcendent self."

"The successive appearance of these three elements subtly aligns with the Taoist cultivation philosophy of returning to simplicity and progressing step by step to glimpse the Dao."

……

He took a deep breath, his tone carrying an unprecedented sense of understanding: "Xiao Yi's current state of mind is based on and anchored by this 'true self,' with the 'ego' will governing the direction and the 'superego' Dao traces guiding the height. Only in this way can she continuously touch the profound mysteries of the laws and truly embark on the path to heaven!"

A tidal wave surged within Chen Xiaojun's heart.

Sure enough!

The greatest truths are the simplest; all paths lead to the same goal!
Chen Cong's eyes were filled with sudden enlightenment: "So that's how it is... This is the 'Foundation Building of the True Self' skill of the Martial Soul Path? If this theory is established, it is enough to shake the ten-thousand-year-old foundation of the Soul Master world's understanding!"

Although he was not deeply versed in Taoist classics, he was able to use the questions raised by Chen Xiaojun to deduce the underlying truth of cultivation from the observation of the Martial Soul phenomenon.

This relates to a major bottleneck in the current Soul Master world: the process of advancing from a level 98 Supreme Douluo to a level 99 Peerless Douluo.

People only know that it requires a certain state of mind to reach perfection, and then to comprehend the power of the rules.

But this only shows what happened, not why it happened.

People only have methodologies for finding paths in practice, but lack systematic theories to understand their underlying logic.

Chen Xiaojun's unintentional question about the "three selves" is like building an invisible bridge between cliffs, providing a possible path to bridge the gap in understanding between these two realms!

"Id, ego, superego?" Bo Xian'er murmured, repeating the three words, her eyes flashing with a sharp light!
Om-!
An indescribable pressure emanated from her without warning. Behind her, the illusory image of the Sea God Martial Soul, wielding a golden trident and possessing an air of majesty yet also bearing some classical imprints, quietly appeared.

Although the phantom was not towering, it exuded an indescribable sense of oppression.

The aura of a monarch, a blend of majesty and domineering power, instantly became so dense that it felt almost tangible, no longer carrying any sense of etherealness.

The most astonishing change occurred within the Martial Soul itself.

It is undergoing a transformation that is visible to the naked eye.

The outline of the Sea God Martial Soul subtly changed, its lines becoming softer and more slender, revealing a distinctly feminine characteristic.

More importantly, the previously blurry, mask-like facial lines are now slowly but surely becoming clearer—the contours of her eyebrows, eyes, and nose are converging towards Bo Xian'er's own heroic and stunningly beautiful face.

Although the outline is not yet fully formed, the trend of change is clearly discernible.

This is not a regression of the martial spirit, but a deeper level of personalized evolution.

Or rather, this change visually reaffirms that her relationship with the Sea God's inheritance system is more independent, further separating them.

Without a doubt, Bo Xian'er instantly grasped the core essence of the "Three Selves" theory and deeply integrated it into her cognitive system.

This is no longer a simple inheritance projection, but under the control of the Emperor's rules, it is reforged into a "superego" form that fits the soul imprint of Bo Xian'er herself!
The flowing, golden aura of royalty, imbued with the power of the deep sea, was like the most precise carving knife, beginning to reshape this ancient martial soul originating from her bloodline according to Bo Xian'er's own will and understanding.

In the perceptions of top experts like Chen Hong, Chen Cong, and Yang Jingxue, the "transformation" brought about by this change became even clearer and more discernible.

They could see that some kind of constraint deep within the core of power was loosening, and that an unprecedented, closer, and more proactive connection was being established between Bo Xian'er's soul and her martial spirit.

The inspiration from the "Three Selfs" theory was like a precise key, pointing her to a deeper level of exploration and greatly accelerating the process of accumulating strength and reaching the pinnacle.

hum!
A royal will far greater and purer than when Xiao Yi caused fluctuations in the rules of heaven and earth, like an invisible undercurrent in the deep sea, emanated from Bo Xian'er and quickly swept across the entire courtyard!
As a being standing at the pinnacle of the 98th level Supreme Douluo, she has already begun to touch upon and attempt to integrate the "Emperor's Rules," and is steadily moving towards the realm of the 99th level Peerless Douluo.

The aura she unintentionally released in that instant was the primal power of her being infinitely close to that realm.

All the high-level Soul Masters present, whether Soul Saints or Soul Douluos, felt their bodies suddenly sink at that moment.

An invisible yet boundless pressure instantly seized them, even the surrounding air solidified into heavy seawater, tightly choking their throats.

This invisible pressure, originating from Bo Xian'er's own will, with its pure spiritual and rule-based suppressive power, far surpasses the backlash from the rules of heaven and earth that Xiao Yi passively triggered when she lost control during her enlightenment, making people tremble with fear.

This scene evoked more awe and excitement in the eyes of Chen Hua, Zhu Yanfeng, and others.

But for Zhuo Qianren, Wang Wei, Lian Changzhi, and others who were dependent on the Chen family and had only a short period of contact with them or whose deeper relationships were unclear, it was a huge shock.

This silent, immense pressure, derived from the evolution of the martial spirit, was like facing the deep sea itself.

A master? No! This is a terrifying existence that far surpasses the concept of an ordinary Super Douluo!
A super master!
A storm raged in their hearts; they had never imagined that such an unfathomable figure was hidden within the Chen family.

Even Chen Hong, who was at level 96, stood quietly behind Bo Xian'er, his posture naturally respectful.

This stance silently and clearly proclaims her absolute status and strength!
Is this level 98 or 99?
Bo Xian'er's golden eyes took a deep look at Xiao Yi, who was still consolidating her strength with her eyes closed, and then glanced at Zhuo Qianren and the others (sending a chill down their spines).

She didn't say anything more, and turned around briskly, saying, "Ah Hong, Ah Cong, I'll leave this to you. Jing Xue, come with me."
