Chapter 195: Breaking The Deadlock

The artifact spirit race was a rather special race, and no one knew what their ancestors were thinking. They discovered that moving their souls away from their bodies and placing them in another carrier could greatly increase their understanding of the Heavenly Dao.

The more the soul left the body, the more of the Heavenly Dao one would be able to comprehend, and the more powerful one would be.

The disadvantage of doing so was also very obvious.

All of their comprehension of the Heavenly Dao was done through artifacts.

Therefore, if their souls left their artifacts and entered their bodies, they would not be able to use any techniques at all.

After all, their bodies were not weapons. There was a huge difference between the two, so naturally, the comprehension of their Heavenly Dao as an artifact could not be carried out using the body.

Yuchi could also put his soul into an artifact now. This was not difficult for him, but it did not have much meaning. If his soul entered the weapon, then all of the comprehension he had of the Heavenly Dao would change. The comprehension of the Heavenly Dao in his current body would not be suitable for the artifact.

The same thing represented different concepts in the eyes of different people, so different forms naturally comprehended the Heavenly Dao differently.

However, the Heavenly Dao was singular, and the end of their path of comprehension was exactly the same. It was just that they had walked different paths.

This was why the artifact spirit race had such a big problem.

If they wanted to increase their strength, their souls had to leave their bodies. Once their souls left their bodies beyond a certain range, it became irreversible. The body would start to overreact and damage itself until it finally collapsed.

Strength and lifespan were mutually exclusive.

Yuchi’s method now was equivalent to Sword Heart taking over the flower’s soul shell because the flower did not have a soul, just an empty container where the soul should be. Of course, he could not rule out the possibility of plants being able to cultivate and gain intelligence in this world, but that was not the case for this particular flower..

Now, Sword Heart could freely switch her soul’s container.

It was a rather ingenious solution.

…

Sword Heart cried.

She was so emotional that she cried.

Her body trembled. She was feeling very strange right now. Sword Heart’s subconscious told her that this body was not hers, but in fact, she could somehow control it.

It was like doing things through an extra layer. Although it would feel a little strange, it would not be any different after one got used to it.

Right now, there was a flower living in her body!

99% of her soul’s strength was in her weapon. This way, she could control her body from the weapon’s perspective and fight!

Moreover, she could also think of ways to increase the strength of her body from the perspective of her weapon!

She was saved!

She was really saved!

Then, she immediately came back to her senses. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yuchi nine times in succession!

Her head hit the ground with a loud bang each time.

Yuchi had no intention of stopping her.

If that could make her feel a little better, then go ahead.

After that, Sword Heart examined her body in disbelief. Yuchi then opened his mouth and said simply, “This is not a permanent solution. You still need to find a way to split your soul into two in the future.”

“The flower is a temporary solution to your problem. It will help you resistthe decline of your body.”

“However, there is indeed a flower living in your body. This flower doesn’t have any consciousness for the time being. However, if your comprehension of the Heavenly Dao becomes stronger and stronger, I can’t rule out the possibility that this flower might grow into a living being and take over the body.”

Yuchi’s memory of the fishes in the cold river gaining sentience and intelligence was still vivid in his mind.

Although the current flower was an incomplete shell, there was still a possibility of something similar happening.

At that time, it would not be Sword Heart that controlled the flower, but the flower that controlled Sword Heart.

“When you reach the Dao essence realm, you have to start to split your soul into two. The two complete souls will be placed in different environments and will develop different personalities. However, you will still be you.”

Yuchi could give birth to a new soul in the mountain in his sea of consciousness, but that was meaningless to him.

He was not afraid of death.

After all, he had already died once, and many things could be seen through after dying once, so there was no need to give himself a backup of any sort.

However, it was different for Sword Heart.

If she did not remove the flower’s soul and replace it with her own soul, it was possible that she would be controlled by the flower’s soul when it gained sentience and intelligence.

He felt that this was the only thing he could do for them now.

Before reaching the Dao essence realm, the power of the artifact spirit race would increase much more rapidly than that of other races. However, after reaching the Dao essence realm, they would have to spend a large amount of time condensing new souls and transplanting them. Therefore, when they reached the Dao essence realm, their progress would slow down.

Where there are gains, there are losses.

However, this was a matter for them, and not him.

“Yes, I understand, Senior!”

Sword Heart carefully pondered over Yuchi’s words, and she was suddenly enlightened.

Sure enough, an expert like Senior was able to discern the key point of the problem and point it out in a few words.

A problem that had plagued their race for countless generations had been solved, just like that.

Senior’s comprehension of the Heavenly Dao was truly terrifying!

Of course, as long as a member of the artifact spirit race broke through to the Dao essence realm, they would be able to gain an understanding of souls. Yuchi merely pointed out the way.

With that said, there was naturally no need to stay in this room any longer.

“You should rest and familiarize yourself with it. If you can do what I said, the rest of your clansmen should be able to do it too.”

“You guys can slowly polish the little details.”

“I’m leaving.”

Sword Heart knelt on the ground and wanted to persuade him to stay, but Yuchi had already disappeared.

He had returned to Hanjiang. As for the program they had prepared, he was not really interested in such things. When the artifact spirit race rose up as a race, he would accept their thanks at that point. This was just the beginning for them.

Now was not the time.

In any case, he had just done what he felt like doing.
