Swallowing the Starry Sky: Qin Feng

Qin Feng, who had been looking alluring, scratched his head and said, "Well, actually, I was pretty confused too. At first, I was almost going crazy trying to comprehend the domain."

But I've never seen a field before, so I don't know exactly what it is. It's like the blind men and the elephant; I don't even know which direction to put my efforts in, and I'm completely lost.

But based on my recent experience, let me explain it to you in a way that Earthlings can understand: the ancient Chinese concepts of essence, energy, and spirit, you know them, right?

"I know! Our curator also often studies ancient books, and we often follow him around, so we've learned a bit from him as well."

"That makes sense. The ancients often said that people have three treasures: essence, energy, and spirit."

In my view, the so-called "essence" can be understood as physical strength, "qi" as genetic force, and "spirit" as soul power.

The so-called "domain" is a state achieved by unifying the three elements and creating resonance. In simpler terms, it's when essence, energy, and spirit are united, and then the domain naturally emerges. Try it and see if you can achieve it.

Yao Rao closed her eyes and began to try, mobilizing the primal force of her genes, circulating the power of her physical body, and then drawing upon the power of her soul. Unfortunately, the three forces were clearly distinct, and she could not find the so-called resonance state at all.

After several attempts, Yao Rao sighed, gave up trying, and frowned, saying, "What's missing? Why can't the three forces within me resonate like yours?"

Qin Feng reached out and smoothed his brow. "Don't rush, let's take it slow. I was too anxious before and got stuck on a rut. Now, once I calmed down, I naturally succeeded. Don't follow in my footsteps."

For a brief moment just now, I was completely relaxed, almost reaching a state of detachment from desires, which is why I succeeded by sheer luck. This shows that mindset is crucial in understanding a field; the more anxious you are, the more counterproductive it may be. On the contrary, the more detached your mindset, the easier it is to succeed.

"A state of being free from desires and wants, a transcendent state of mind, is easier said than done. As long as a person is alive, it is impossible to be so transcendent. No matter how good a person's mindset is, there will always be some distracting thoughts in their heart. This is unavoidable."

"You don't need to maintain that state all the time. You should be able to succeed naturally as long as you enter that state for a moment. The probability is quite high, so don't worry."

"Forget it? I'm not in a rush. I'm just giving it a try. If it works, great; if not, no big deal. You're right, there will be other opportunities. Once I'm stronger, it should be easier, right?"

"Hehe! As expected of my wife, you have such a broad mind. I admire you."

"Pah! Who's your wife? You haven't said anything yet, don't go around calling me that."

Qin Feng remained silent upon hearing this, and after a few seconds of contemplation, he said, "Yao Rao, let's get married!"

"You! What did you say?"

"I said! Let's get married!"

"I, well, you're in such a rush! I'm not ready yet."

Our owner is still fast asleep and hasn't woken up yet. I think it's important for him to at least witness the wedding.

You may not know, but I was originally an orphan who lived a precarious life during the Great Nirvana. It was the master who raised me and trained me to become a martial artist.

After I reached the peak of the God of War, he personally guided me to break through to the Planetary level. His kindness to me can be described as a second birth.

I don't want to get married without his knowledge, so I can't agree to your request right now. I'm sorry, Qin Feng.

"I understand this. If I were in your shoes, I would have done the same. But don't refuse so quickly. I didn't say we should have a wedding right away. We can wait until he wakes up and invite him to be our witness. We can settle things first, like an engagement, okay?"

"this!"

"You like me, right? I can feel that you have feelings for me too, and I like you very much as well. Since we like each other, let's get engaged. You're already living with me, and I can't let you follow me without a proper status."

"Brother Monkey, you've been watching the show for ages, how about a ring?"

"OK!"

Qin Feng opened his hand, revealing a world ring identical to his own. He knelt on one knee, held up the ring, and looked at her earnestly, saying, "Yao Rao, please get engaged to me. You can wait until you want to get married, but please let's solidify our relationship. I want us to get along better and be more open with each other in the future."

Looking at the man kneeling in front of her with a ring in hand, Yao Rao's eyes welled up with tears. She had only been joking, but she hadn't expected him to be so serious and propose to her right away.

Moreover, he agreed to his somewhat excessive request without hesitation. After all, the master might never wake up in this lifetime, but he did not hesitate at all. What more could he ask for than to meet such a strong, gentle, and considerate man in this life?

Yao Rao gave a soft "hmm," her face slightly flushed, and extended her left hand. Qin Feng smiled and slowly put the silver ring on his left middle finger. The ring, which was originally a bit large, automatically adjusted and tightened after touching his skin.

He stood up and embraced her, inhaling her faint fragrance, and whispered in her ear, "From this day forward, our destinies are intertwined, inseparable, until the cycle of the universe ends."

"From now on, I am your fiancée. You can't keep practicing from morning till night like before. At least you have to spend some time with me every now and then, or I will get angry."

"Haha! Well! Don't worry, I'll try to spend a couple of days with you every now and then. Just remind me then."

You know, once I start practicing, I can sometimes become reckless. If there's anything that makes me unhappy, you must tell me, and I will try my best to correct it.

You don't need to be shy or secretive with me. Men are a bit rough around the edges, so if you don't point it out, I might overlook it.

"Heh! You said it yourself! I didn't force you!"

"Yes! A man's word is his bond, a real man keeps his promise," Qin Feng said guiltily.

"You're spineless. How many powerful beings in the universe are afraid of their wives? Qin Feng, you're a disgrace."

"Monkey King! You're still here?"

"Tsk tsk tsk! You little rascal, you're not going to be completely dominated by your wife in the future, are you?"

"So what? That's just how we Earthlings are. Good men are monogamous and love their wives."

"I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense. I came out to see what was going on because I was a little surprised that you suddenly comprehended a domain. I didn't expect to see such a good show."

It's really strange, isn't it? This tiny Earth already had two little guys who could comprehend domains at the planetary level, and now there's this monster like you who keeps complaining about your lack of talent.

Is Earth some kind of auspicious place? How strange! I'm leaving now, I won't disturb your sweet time together. I'll make time to visit the Origin Space later, there's a surprise for you!

"A surprise! Could it be...?"
