You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts

In fact, the power of emotions, Ye Qingzhou had already had an epiphany when he comprehended the mastery of the Fire Technique.

However, the Secret Technique of the Fire Ascending Dragon in the Divine Power Realm is about burning emotions to achieve an extreme outburst of power, employing "anger" among the seven emotions.

Today, the Dragon Transformation Sword utilizes "joy" among the seven emotions, seeking peace and happiness.

Compared to the fleeting anger, joy is evidently more sustainable, thus it is a kind of vigorous, hopeful, and positive spiritual power that can greatly enhance the mental state of a Martial Artist.

"Powerful strength requires a powerful mind to control."

This was Ye Qingzhou's recent realization. The election campaign in the Western Pole Kingdom made him aware of the wonders of the Power of Thought Ability, while also understanding how terrifying it could be once out of control.

Human nature cannot withstand trials.

The Western Pole Kingdom's might stems from the ultimate openness to the Power of Thought Ability, as if everyone could possess unlimited freedom, doing whatever they pleased.

But the result was that everyone got lost in the infinite expansion of desires, leading to destruction and annihilation.

With such a precedent, Ye Qingzhou first created a Heart Method to understand his own path and direction before attempting to accommodate the scattered Power of Thought Ability around him.

At this moment, Ye Qingzhou's spiritual world is closely connected to Linjiang First High School. As long as the students and teachers at the school harbor expectations and goodwill towards him, their Power of Thought Ability will continuously gather upon Ye Qingzhou.

If it's just one or two people, the transmitted Power of Thought Ability would naturally be very weak.

But with over five thousand students and teachers in Linjiang First High School, three-fifths of whom became Ye Qingzhou's "followers," at this moment, the Power of Thought Ability of thousands of people gathered, forming a vast force like mountains and seas in the spiritual world, allowing Ye Qingzhou's spirit to expand and grow every moment.

Martial Artists who consume exotic treasures containing Primordial Qi have a cap on their Dantian Qi Sea's capacity, but the power of the spirit is formless and boundless, thus having no limit.

In an instant, Ye Qingzhou, who accepted all the incoming Power of Thought Ability, saw his "spirit" among the three attributes of essence, Qi, and spirit, grow to the extreme.

So much so that Ye Qingzhou vaguely felt that if his Yin Spirit were to emerge now, he could immediately achieve Godhood in the Human World, refining his mortal body to gain powerful strength.

And according to different beliefs, the deities thus ordained often have different "Divine Techniques," and their lifespan is no longer affected by its body, enabling immortality, living by the offerings of incense.

"So, this is what ancient divine investiture was all about."

At this moment, Ye Qingzhou also understood how those deities from the mythical stories in Blue Star's ancient times came about. Turns out, they were powerful Martial Artists who absorbed the Power of Thought Ability!

Meanwhile, the Martial Dao path of Blue Star became clearer in Ye Qingzhou's mind: "The path I'm taking should focus on Refining Essence, which is known as the Body Refining Stream."

"Besides the Body Refining Stream, there should also be two other paths: Refining Qi and Refining Spirit. Among them, Three Pure Ones Mountain focuses on Refining Qi. I've heard from Leon that his senior brother Wang Huaxian is an expert in Refining Qi, able to perform the Qi Performance Technique to summon wind and rain, scattering beans into soldiers. As for Refining Spirit experts, the ones I've encountered before like Gu Minghui and Divine General Cyan Dragon, their mind and will were very strong, likely belonging to the Refining Spirit Stream."

Martial Artists in the Dongji Kingdom mainly focus on Body Refining, as it's the Martial Dao path with the lowest entry barrier.

In contrast, whether it's Refining Qi or Refining Spirit, the entry barriers are often intimidatingly high.

Yet similarly, the powers from Refining Qi and Refining Spirit are often very strong and mysterious, impossible to resist using ordinary means, so in practice, they are generally extraordinarily powerful.

If it were the average person, they would certainly choose the path most suitable to themselves among the three martial Dao paths of essence, Qi, and spirit to break through their limits—after all, human power is finite, and Martial Dao values specialization over diversity.

However, Ye Qingzhou's idea was, "I want them all"!

What fights over the Sword Sect and Qi Sect are choices made by the talentless who have to compromise; true powerhouses, with inherent talent, learn quickly and grow strong regardless of what they practice, so naturally, they train in everything!

Only by refining essence, Qi, and spirit together, ensuring no shortcoming in body, mind, and spirit, can one be called the "Supreme Power."

The path Ye Qingzhou aims to take now is the path of the "Supreme Power."

"My Heart Sword Secret Technique can reverse the process of Refining Essence into Qi and Refining Qi into Spirit, using one's own 'spirit' to nurture one's own 'Qi,' and then using one's own 'Qi' to nurture one's own 'essence,' so the higher the spiritual realm, the more Power of Thought Ability, the better!"

Ye Qingzhou, based on the martial technique of Heart Sword Self-Cutting, immediately realized the benefits of a strong spirit and abundant Thought Ability.

However, before he could be pleased, under the impact of the consciousness stream of three thousand people, his own spirit was nearly defenseless, with a tendency to be forcibly assimilated.

Mental Assimilation!

The sole flaw of the path to divine investiture!

Now Ye Qingzhou had no choice but to confront this issue. The root of the problem was that the Ye Qingzhou perceived by others was not the real Ye Qingzhou.

As Ye Qingzhou absorbed the Power of Thought Ability of these people, his spirit would inevitably be influenced by their perceptions, resulting in his will being twisted and gradually "shaped" into the form that everyone expected.

Much like the Martial Arts powerhouses in the history of the Dongji Kingdom who succeeded in divine investiture, there are many such "deities," some even with incense offerings passed down to this day.
