284. Chapter 284: Soul and Ascension

The soul dominates the body, completely opening the body's shackles and excavating the body's potential?

Li Yi's eyes flickered when he heard this.

No wonder when he fought Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun's casual strike could erupt with unrivaled power. That kind of power was like a martial arts expert who had been immersed for many years, instantly twisting the strength in the body into one. Even if one didn't understand martial arts, one could achieve a similar effect.

It turned out that after cultivation reached a certain realm, the principles were all interconnected.

"I just don't know, after I become a Soul Realm expert, when my soul dominates my body and opens the body's shackles, to what extent will my strength increase?" Li Yi looked down at his hands slightly, and his heart began to feel some anticipation.

At this moment, Professor Zhang Songlin continued: "Actually, besides the changes in physical strength, there are various other changes after the body's shackles are opened. For example, your cultivation values will usher in a wave of explosive growth. Condensing a soul means your consciousness work efficiency is higher, and you can guide more massive cosmic energy. After the body removes the shackles, the speed of absorbing cosmic energy is faster. Almost every Soul Realm expert's cultivation value will exceed one thousand percent."

"Cultivation values above one thousand percent? I understand. This is the special recruitment standard of the Golden Academy. It turns out this value is to screen out future Soul Realm experts," a Spirit Perception expert suddenly woke up and couldn't help but say.

"Only the soul can autonomously cross dimensions; that is where the hope lies. You don't even understand this?" A Soul Realm expert in the front row said calmly.

"Therefore, in our world, only the Soul Realm has the qualifications to survive. Without breaking through to the Soul Realm, if you want to cross dimensions, you can only leave this world by opening the cross-dimensional gate. But the number of times and the time to open the cross-dimensional gate are too short. Even if one can leave, how many people can leave?"

These evolvers who came to listen to the lecture discussed a few sentences among themselves at this moment.

Zhang Songlin let the students chat. After a while, when everyone quieted down, he said: "The soul is important, and the evolver's body is also very important, because a powerful body can conceive a powerful soul. Ancient cultivators, because they didn't have the support of cosmic energy, could only abandon their weak bodies and supply all energy to the soul, letting the soul cross dimensions and leave, seeking freedom. And this was called ascension."

Ascension and cross-dimensional migration?

Everyone was shocked again.

Didn't expect that soul cross-dimensional migration was the ancient ascension to immortality?

It's just that they weren't heading to any Immortal Realm, but heading to other worlds with a beautiful longing for the Immortal Realm.

After all, no one knew what would happen after crossing dimensions, so they imagined an Immortal Realm, believing that it was the soul's destination, a paradise, and strengthened their belief in crossing dimensions.

"Ascension to immortality, soul cross-dimensional migration—their essence is the same. Speaking of this, one has to mention the 'Silent Ones'. The Silent Ones are actually people who cultivated to the Soul Realm and then had their souls leave their bodies to cross dimensions and leave. Their souls are not there, only the shell remains, so naturally, they cannot wake up. Of course, there are also people who wake up, which is because their souls have crossed dimensions and returned again."

Zhang Songlin said: "Six years ago, I also had my soul cross dimensions. After living in another world for about a year, I returned... The teacher was quite unlucky. The world I went to wasn't any Immortal Realm, nor was it any beautiful place, but a place filled with foul air, demons, and monsters everywhere. If I hadn't returned, I'm afraid I would have died there."

Speaking of this, he shook his head, revealing a self-deprecating smile.

"Professor, may I ask, if the Silent Ones cannot wake up, is there any way to go to the world where the Silent One's soul is?" At this time, Li Yi couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Songlin looked at him and said: "If your soul leaves your body and enters the Silent One's body, you can sense the location of their soul through the residual soul power in the Silent One's body. Of course, the premise is that the Silent One's soul still exists in other worlds. If the soul has perished, then there is no way to pursue it."

"However, I don't recommend doing this. After the Silent Ones cross dimensions and cannot wake up, many reasons aren't that they don't want to return, but that there is great danger in the other world, and they cannot return. The former's soul cannot return, and the latter's soul pursues it—this is very stupid."

He saw Lin Yue and also recognized Li Yi. He had heard Lin Yue mention before that Li Yi's parents were both Silent Ones. Asking this now must be to seek the return of his parents' souls.

As an elder, Zhang Songlin didn't want to see this promising young man take risks to cross dimensions in the future, and then have his soul run into trouble.

"Teacher, so you are quite against this matter of soul cross-dimensional migration?" Lin Yue stood out and said.

"Lin Yue, you must understand that soul cross-dimensional migration is a high-stakes gamble, and one can almost only gamble once. The risks are too great. I don't really recommend soul cross-dimensional migration. I prefer opening the cross-dimensional gate and letting the body go over. After all, if the soul leaves the body for too long, without the protection and nourishment of the body's energy field, the soul will quickly wither and even perish," Zhang Songlin said.

"Professor, after leaving the physical body, is there no way for the soul to survive?" A Soul Realm expert asked.

Zhang Songlin immediately said: "Yes. The best way for the soul to survive after leaving the body is to find a creature, occupy its shell, and use the shell's protection to reduce the soul's consumption. And the most preferred creature is best to be flying insects, small birds, and the like, because this kind of creature is weak, and your soul occupying such a shell won't consume too much. The most taboo thing is to occupy the body of a living person, because living people also have their own soul energy. The cost of resisting and eliminating this soul energy is huge, and it is very easy for both sides to suffer."

"Remember there is an allusion called 'Zhuang Zhou Dreams of a Butterfly'. Actually, it was his own soul crossing dimensions and attaching to a butterfly, becoming a butterfly."

"This topic seems to have gone a bit far. Let's return to this realm of the soul."

Suddenly, Zhang Songlin smiled, feeling that his lecture had gone a bit off-track, and pulled the topic back: "The significant characteristics of the Soul Realm, besides condensing a soul, require the body's strength to be high enough. It must be able to support the soul leaving the body to be called the Soul Realm. With the evolution of the body, the cosmic energy contained within oneself increases, and the body will gradually begin to produce an energy field of its own. Some people also call it a biological magnetic field."

"The terms are different, but the principles are the same. Once the human body's energy field is opened, it can influence surrounding things, and within one's own energy field, the soul can move freely without any damage. For example, like this..."

After speaking.

Zhang Songlin, sitting on the stone bench, suddenly had a clear light erupt from his whole body. Subsequently, an illusory figure walked out from his body. That figure looked completely different from Zhang Songlin—white hair and youthful face, looking like an immortal.

But after Zhang Songlin's soul left his body, he didn't stay outside for long and quickly returned.

This scene made many people feel amazed.

It was as if myths and legends were reappearing.

Immediately after, he opened his eyes and smiled: "See? This is the teacher's soul leaving the body. Actually, ordinary people cannot see the soul, because you have all opened Spirit Medium to be able to observe it. Besides that, the appearance of the human body's energy field also represents that the physical body can get rid of the limitations of gravity."

"To put it simply, you can fly."

As he spoke, Professor Zhang Songlin's body actually began to float slowly, then hovered in mid-air, motionless.

"Professor, can one fly in the Soul Realm? Isn't it said that one can only fly after reaching the Spirit Power Realm?" Lin Yue asked curiously.

Zhang Songlin hovered in mid-air and smiled: "The human body's energy field in the Soul Realm is not strong or stable enough. Most people can only achieve short-term hovering. Of course, there are also some gifted people who can achieve flight at the Soul Realm stage, but it's not long-lasting. However, the teacher thinks that it should be because our cultivation system is not perfect enough, so this ability of flight was not unlocked in the Soul Realm, and one can only continue to break through to achieve it naturally."

Li Yi felt deep agreement when he heard this.

One had to know that in the Four Seas and Eight Continents, martial artists in the Meridian-Gong Realm could use Gong-Qi to achieve short-term flight. There was no reason the Soul Realm couldn't do it. It must be that this ability hadn't been excavated, or the correct method of use hadn't been found.

However, listening to such a lecture today, he felt it was worth it, because he knew the secret of the Soul Realm and also understood how to cross dimensions to find the souls of the Silent Ones.

At the same time, he also felt admiration for this professor.

Because the knowledge involved in such a lecture was extraordinary. If you put it outside, you might not be able to buy it for ten million or even one hundred million, but this professor was giving the lecture for free.

Unfortunately, such a lecture didn't last too long.

After Professor Zhang Songlin spoke for a few more minutes, he stopped: "Time is up. Today's lecture ends here. If you still want to come and listen to the lecture, you can come again at this time next week. Now, class dismissed."

He was like a teacher, treating the evolvers in the Spirit Perception and Soul realms as students.

And these students didn't have the slightest displeasure; instead, everyone respected this teacher very much.

"Teacher, goodbye."

"Teacher, then I'm leaving. I'll come to listen to your lecture next time."

One cultivator after another began to leave.

Zhang Songlin didn't forget to exhort them as they left: "Don't have your soul leave your body randomly. Remember to pay more attention to inner cultivation."

"You, date fewer girlfriends, otherwise don't even think about condensing a soul in this life."

"Going to the danger zone to temper yourself is a good thing. Between life and death, the soul might condense at a certain moment. But this breakthrough method is too dangerous, so it's better not to do it."

He remembered all these students, recognized them, and even knew what they were doing now.

Professor Zhang Songlin guided them as much as possible to do some correct things, so as not to go astray. ===== CHAPTER 282 =====
