Chapter 107-108 The Power of Faith, the Role of Shulings

    

n the divine light, his eyes flickering with subtle changes.If he wasn't sensing things incorrectly, that aura should belong to the Laws themselves.No—It's not just the aura of rules, it even contains...The changes in his body made Shen Changqing's complexion strange.

His sea of consciousness had gained the power of faith, and he wanted to try refining it to enhance his strength.

Unbeknownst to him, he was unable to absorb that divine power.

To be precise.

It's not that it can't be done, it's just that I don't want to.

Exclusion!

Here is your text translated into English:

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The instinctive repulsion in the body is already telling itself that forcibly refining faith power will absolutely bring no benefits.

“Faith is the path to deification. To put it simply, faith is like nourishment for the soul, allowing it to evolve further and enter a realm of profound mystery.”

The path I have walked is one where the physical body and soul are inseparable. It emphasizes the simultaneous advancement of both, leading to the attainment of greatness within oneself.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

After entering the Cave of Heaven, opening up secret treasures is a process of great power returning to oneself.

Shen Changqing recalled his current situation.

Although everyone walks a different path, they shouldn't be devoid of the strength that faith provides.

This is inside.

There are probably still some questions that I don't understand.

>

When encountering a problem, naturally, one should resolve it.

If one could truly harness the power of faith to enhance oneself, it would be immensely beneficial.

Immediately.

>

He then began to suppress the physical rejection, and using his own power, attempted to refine a portion of the faith power stored in his sea of consciousness.

Moment—

When the two forces collided, the previously vanished noise surged back from within, clearer than before.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

All sorts of emotions just surge into my heart uncontrollably.

Shen Changqing frowned, and he couldn't help but use his divine sense to remove the noise and emotions that didn't belong to him bit by bit.

Finally —

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

A pure faith, cleansed and refined. Its power is absorbed little by little.

That force flowed along the sea of consciousness and into the physical body, as if wanting to merge with qi and blood, and the soul.

However.

Faith had just been integrated, but it was immediately repelled by a powerful force. The thread of faith was completely extinguished by the shockwave of that qi and blood.

After a long time.

His mind withdrew from his inner sea, and his face turned rather pale.

"Faith power is indeed able to strengthen oneself, but the energy imbued with countless beings' thoughts is too mixed. To truly refine and absorb it, one must remove all impurities within."

"That requires a great deal of mental and physical effort. If you factor in the time spent removing impurities, it might not be much faster than my absorption of spiritual energy."

This is the message.

It's a good sign.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

It's not that the power of faith is weak, but that faith contains many thoughts and ideas, with a lot of impurities within it. If these aren't refined, forcefully melting and absorbing them can lead to mental fragmentation at best, and even loss of sanity at worst.

Therefore.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

To truly absorb the power of faith, you must eliminate impurities within it.

But this way, it would take a lot of time.

By comparison.

The effects of self-cultivation are faster than those of faith power.

In addition, there is another issue.

When the nascent faith first attempted to blend with one's own power, qi and blood, along with the soul, triggered a powerful backlash.

At that moment.

Several realizations dawned on Shen Changqing's mind.

Faith's power is a treasure for elevating the soul, but this power cannot be absorbed by qi and blood.

This is precisely in line with the path of sealing gods through Qi circulation during ancient times.

From the moment a martial artist chooses to refine their qi and cultivate their soul, they signify their abandonment of physical refinement, focusing solely on the enhancement of their soul.

Arrived at the back.

He couldn't help but wonder if warriors could directly abandon their physical bodies, existing solely as souls.

With such an understanding.

As for the barbarian god, Shen Changqing felt a surge of admiration.

Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!

In the ancient era dominated by spirits and souls, for someone to refine their physical body and spirit to such a realm was truly extraordinary. It demonstrated exceptional talent and incredible perseverance.

If the other party is not a god from ancient times, but only recently came into contact with martial arts.

He suspected.

The other party's martial arts achievements would never be low.

Become a paradise.

Here is the translation of your content:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The probability is not generally high.

But it's a pity that the one who has already become a powerful being in the realm of gods, if he wants to practice martial arts, he has to give up everything. It’s not about starting from scratch, but it's almost the same.

As a normal person, it's impossible to give up on the path that we have walked for countless years and start over again.

Thoughts returned to oneself.

Now Shen Changqing has completely given up on the idea of refining faith himself.

Please remove the impurities.

And it wouldn't even allow itself to be absorbed.

The reason why one cannot absorb it is simple. Faith can only increase the power of the soul, but it cannot be merged with qi and blood. After entering the Immortal Golden Body realm, the soul and qi and blood have long been integrated as one.

When the spirit soars, qi and blood will inevitably surge.

When qi and blood surge, the spirit and soul will inevitably ascend.

The two complement and support each other, with neither surpassing the other. Whenever one side grows, it will reciprocate by channeling some of its strength back to Qi and blood, thereby promoting synchronous growth.

Here's the translated text:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But here's the catch.

A soul empowered by faith's strength is fundamentally rejected by qi and blood.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Thus, it is done.

The soul naturally repels the power of faith, causing it to be pushed back and dissipated when it tries to merge.

"Having faith but not being able to put it into action is a waste!"

Shen Changqing looked at the gold in his sea of consciousness, feeling a bit troubled for a moment.

If one could borrow the power of faith, the benefits would be self-evident.

How many people are there in the world

Formerly, even when there was just one Great Qin, there were countless millions of people. After the unification, it's even more difficult to measure.

Among so many people, one in every hundred develops faith in themselves. When they come together, it becomes extremely frightening.

This is by no means an exaggeration.

Once the Martial Arts Academy is established, martial arts will surely become mainstream. At that time, the number of people who come into contact with martial arts will be countless.

But anyone who enters the path of martial arts must first see their own stone statue.

This way.

Out of a hundred people, there's one who develops faith. That's Shen Changqing's estimation on the lower end.

To be honest, the number of believers is probably even more terrifying.

But.

>

It is undoubtedly a painful thing to have treasure but be unable to use it.

Suddenly.

Shen Changqing was lost in thought.

Such a massive amount of faith, he definitely wouldn't just waste it.

You can't use it yourself.

So, is there any possibility that these beliefs can be used by others

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

If you could.

Then, is it possible to directly give birth to a deity for the human race

"Wait—"

"If my faith can be of use to others, then does that mean it could also be of use to other things, such as..."

Shen Changqing's gaze fell upon the Martial Arts Compendium in front of him.

He tried to wrap his divine sense around the golden light in his sea of consciousness, then carefully moved it out a little bit.

This process.

The consumption is much higher than leaving a divine imprint.

It's very simple.

The faint golden color in the sea of wisdom is actually the source of faith, in other words, the faith of all ethnic groups converges here eventually.

Therefore.

The golden light now appears rather faint, but it actually contains the faith of billions of people. As such, it is naturally extremely heavy.

Fortunately, Shen Changqing was strong enough. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to move.

The longer the delay.

The more something is entrenched, the harder it becomes to move.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

As time goes by, the power of faith will only become more concentrated, and when faith is strong, the consumption when moving will also increase accordingly.

But——

Those are all afterwords.

With his current cultivation at the Dongtian Realm, it wouldn't be a significant issue for him to move the original source of faith.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

A little movement.

Faith originates from the recognition that arises within the depths of one's being.

Shen Changqing's face turned solemn, and he slowly shifted the foundation of his faith towards the martial arts compendium before him.

As the two were about to touch, he focused his mind to the utmost.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

There was no let-up at all.

If the fusion fails, although it will not pose any problems to the source of faith, the martial arts compendium will definitely have to be rewritten.

Under the gaze of eyes.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After coming into contact with the "Essentials of Martial Arts," the roots of faith blended seamlessly, like water and milk, effortlessly merging within.

The next moment.

>

On the cover, the four large characters "Outline of Martial Arts" were subtly gilded, and the entire book exuded a sacred aura that inspired reverence.

Next, the entire book moved on its own accord, floating in mid-air and autonomously turning its pages.

Splash!

As the pages turned, one scene after another appeared.

Shen Changqing recognized that the images were actually martial arts techniques as described in the Martial Arts Compendium. Now, these martial arts were all presented before him in the form of pictures.

Compared to reading books on my own, browsing through pictures now is actually easier to understand.

Because in these images, there is always a translucent figure sitting cross-legged. The level of martial arts mastery reached and the context required to achieve it are all clearly expressed.

At last.

All visions disappeared, and the pages of the book slowly fell.

Not long after.

The books, now restored to stillness, seemed to contain something pregnant with life within their pages.

A faint sliver of divine consciousness manifested, transforming into a figure resembling a child.

"Book Spirit"

When Shen Changqing saw the little person, his expression moved involuntarily.

He didn't expect it.

After being infused with the power of faith, Wushu Zong Guan unexpectedly gave birth to a book spirit.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

What can nurture a spirit is considered to be at the level of a spiritual soldier. If it can nurture spiritual intelligence, it enters the ranks of Tao soldiers.

But.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Whether they were spirit soldiers or Taoist soldiers, Shen Changqing had never seen any that could change their shape.

This made him even more curious about this book spirit.

Now.

Shuling looked at the person in front of her, bowed respectfully as if she were a real person, and then said in a respectful voice: "Wu Shu has met his master!"

"Are you called Wu Shu"

A slight smile appeared on Shen Changqing's face.

The book spirit, also known as the martial arts master's nod, has a young face with an uncharacteristic calmness and composure for their age.

“I am the Book Spirit born from the wisdom nurtured by the compendium of martial arts. I named myself Wushu, but if my master finds it unsuitable, I am open to a new name.”

“The name Wushu is a good one, no need to change it. Since you have given birth to intelligence, have you received any information, such as about yourself”

Shen Changqing changed the subject.

To give birth to intelligence is a good thing.

But he was still clueless about the specific function of the Book Spirit.

>

However.

The other party has given birth, they must surely be able to receive some messages from the ethereal realm.

In Shen Changqing's current perspective, the source of these messages should be the Heavenly Dao of this world.

Heaven is everywhere.

Every blade of grass and every tree is a path, wind, rain, thunder and lightning are also paths.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

All creatures born from heaven and earth are also like children of heaven and earth, and they are bound to gain something from it.

That's all.

It can be affirmed.

As expected.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

When Shen Changqing asked questions, Wu Shu replied without hesitation: “Because I am the embodiment of intelligence nurtured by the Wushu Encyclopedia, I can thoroughly understand all martial arts content within it and even evolve them for others to comprehend.”

Moreover, if I grow to a certain extent in the future, I will be able to deduce the subsequent content of the overall outline of martial arts.

“You’re saying you can deduce the continuation of the Wushu General Principles!”

Shen Changqing's face changed.

The fact that the AI can extrapolate the sequel to "Wushu Zong Gan" means something: it demonstrates that the AI is capable of forging its own path.

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

Think about it carefully.

If one only writes about the realm of Dongtian in a general treatise on martial arts and stops there, but as long as there is a Book Spirit present, the other party may be able to deduce realms beyond Dongtian.

This ability is simply terrifying.

If that's really the case, then injecting faith power into the martial arts compendium this time was truly the right decision.

Wushu shook his head. "To deduce the subsequent content is not as easy as the master thinks, there are many limitations. Only when I reach the corresponding realm can I deduce martial arts of the same realm."

Just like now, the master bestowed his faith power upon me. The moment I took form, I possessed a cultivation level equivalent to that of a Heavenly Human Stage One. Therefore, the martial arts I can deduce are those at this level.

Moreover, one can only deduce martial arts within the realm of Heaven and Human. It's impossible to deduce further upwards. Only after a breakthrough can one deduce even stronger martial arts.

Hearing this explanation, Shen Changqing nodded slightly.

Although there are such limitations, the role of Shu Ling is still very significant.

Next.

Then, his eyes lit up with newfound inspiration.

"Are you saying that you can deduce the martial arts of the current realm Are there any limitations, or can you deduce any martial art of this level"

“There are no restrictions, just that it takes time and faith power to deduce martial arts. Time is not a problem for Shu Ling because she has no lifespan limit. As for faith power—”

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Wu Shu's youthful face.

“The source of my master's faith is negligible compared to the power of faith given by every human at every moment. If you pursue advanced martial arts in the future, the consumption will increase.”

After he finished speaking.

Then Shen Changqing realized that he had stumbled upon a treasure.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Being able to deduce martial arts, this alone is not comparable to any other treasure.

Just think about it.

Shu Ling can now deduce martial arts at the level of heaven and man. Even if she has just reached the level of heaven and man, doesn't that mean that if she integrates martial arts later, she won't have to worry about her initial martial arts being insufficient

Someday.

When the opponent grows to the level of an immortal golden body realm, or even a heavenly cave realm, can their initial martial arts techniques still elevate to the same level

If that's the case, then the fusion process would be significantly shortened, and consequently, the consumption of killing points would be drastically reduced.

Reducing the consumption of killing points is a huge benefit for Shen Changqing.

This is the end of a paragraph.

Not to mention.

When a spirit receives sustenance from the faith of believers, it has the potential to ascend to profound realms.

That's it.

He is practically like possessing a living library.

Is martial arts not enough

It's a small matter.

Just let Shu Ling make the calculations.

But.

Then Shen Changqing thought of another question.

>

"How long would it take you to deduce a martial art that reaches the heavens"

"It mainly depends on what aspect you're deducing. If it's about techniques, it would take less time, perhaps a month or so to deduce a single one. But if it's about the foundation of your realm, focusing on tempering your physical body and soul, it would take at least three months to half a year."

The book spirit answered truthfully.

One month.

Three months to six months.

This time is not only not long, but also very short.

Even a skilled martial artist, with extensive knowledge of their level of martial arts, would find it nearly impossible to deduce them within a month.

Like a book spirit's steady development, its effects are clearly visible.

"If the Compendium of Martial Arts Techniques was full, what should be done"

Although his compiled martial arts compendium still had many blank spaces, he eventually reached the day when it was fully recorded. But once complete, how would he proceed with its further development

The martial arts book said, "Master, there's no need to worry about this. The moment I was born, all the contents of the complete manual of martial arts already existed in my mind. As for my physical form, it has long been empty."

As they were speaking.

He simply waved his hand, and the martial arts compendium, which was about the same height as him, automatically flipped through its pages.

The pages that were once filled with much content are now all blank.

Then.

The martial arts manual's pages suddenly flew open, lines of text appearing on the blank canvas.

“If I choose to, I can manifest martial arts in written form, but if I don't, they will remain forever within my mind.”

If others want to comprehend martial arts, there are two ways: one is to receive my personal instruction, and the other is to receive instruction through written texts.

"And as for myself, I can accommodate an infinite number of martial arts. At least, I haven't noticed any limits to how much I can hold. How many martial arts would it take to fill me up completely"

The content within the tags > should be translated. However, please provide me with the text inside the tags so I can translate it for you. For example: If your content was: >I would return: Let me know what you'd like translated!

“Aha!”

Shen Changqing suddenly realized.

If that were the case, then there would be no limit to the length of the Treatise on Martial Arts.

And.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The opponent's continual expansion of martial arts techniques causes the overall framework of martial arts to grow. One day, the framework of martial arts will surely become the origin of all martial arts in the world.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In that case, the "general outlines" in "Martial Arts General Outlines" no longer refers to a single system.

"So, about divine powers, can you now deduce any"

“Master, I can only deduce weaker Nine-Grade Divine Abilities now. But to deduce more powerful Divine Abilities, I need to raise my realm first.”

Mu Shu replied in a low voice.

As expected!

If one can deduce martial arts, one can also deduce supernatural powers.

When Shen Changqing heard the answer, he already understood.

Now it can be said with absolute certainty that the Spirit of the Book in front of us will undoubtedly become an encyclopedia in the future. The martial arts contained within are bound to shock everyone.

Don't underestimate the other person just because they are currently only one level above you in cultivation.

But with the supply of faith, one's realm will inevitably rise step by step.

Immortality Gold Body.

Heaven's Abode.

>

...may not necessarily be the end of a spirit's journey.

Inheritance!

This is the true legacy of humanity!

As long as there are Book Spirits, the Human Race has the opportunity to continue growing.

Shen Changqing took a deep breath.

"Alright, from now on, you will continuously deduce the highest level of martial arts that can be deduced at present. Also, I will place you inside the Martial Pavilion. You are not allowed to appear casually and let others know your existence."

Whenever someone flips through it, you impart to them the corresponding martial arts teachings based on their situation.

A spirit companion is important, but it cannot be taken with you.

And.

This departure is extremely dangerous. If I were to fall, the martial arts compendium could end up in the hands of other powerful individuals, or even be destroyed entirely.

If that's really the case, then so-called inheritance would be a joke.

Therefore.

The overall summary of martial arts must remain in the hands of humans. This is the essence of the Book Spirit, and there must be no problems with it.

Shen Changqing didn't need to think about it.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Once the Treatise on Martial Arts is destroyed, what will be the consequences for the Book Spirit

Then.

He asked the last question.

“Since you now possess the cultivation level equivalent to that of a Celestial Immortal, do you also have the corresponding strength”

"Yes, the realm I possess determines my strength. Furthermore, for martial arts at my current level, I can achieve perfect mastery. When it comes to true power, I believe within the Heaven-Human First Layer, there are few who could rival me."

On Wushu's youthful face, there was a hint of confident arrogance.

Seeing him like this, Shen Changqing couldn't help but smile.

It's good.

This little thing is not only the future arsenal of the human race, but also a powerful being in the future of the human race.

>

To be honest.

He never expected that the power of faith could be so useful, capable of turning decay into magic, bringing lifeless things to life, and possessing extraordinary might.

For this result, Shen Changqing was very satisfied.

He was not worried that the book spirit would grow up and betray him in the future.

First.

Here are a few ways to translate the content within the tags, keeping in mind that without context, it's hard to know if there's a specific nuance we should capture:* **Literal Translation:** This simply translates the text word for word. Since "" aren't words, they're left unchanged.

Let me know if you have more context about what this content is or how it's being used! That will help me give you a more accurate and helpful translation.

The faith that one receives comes from within oneself.

Although the root of faith has already been given to the other party at present, wanting to take it back is only a matter of one's own thoughts.

That's it.

Shen Changqing himself knew very well, and the Book Spirit also knew very well.

Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!

Therefore, there was no possibility of betrayal on their part.

Of course.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

If one day I were to fall, whether the Book Spirit would still be like this remains unknown.

However.

He didn't worry too much.

As long as one spends time with humans, they will naturally become inclined towards them. Over time, this change will occur subtly and without much difficulty.

That's it.

As long as the compendium of martial arts is placed within the martial arts pavilion, allowing the Book Spirit to experience the aura of other human races and familiarize itself with interacting with them.

>

This process takes some time.

This is what you requested:

Let me know if you have anything else I can translate!

As for how long it will take, Shen Changqing couldn't be sure.

This looks like a snippet of HTML code. It appears you're asking to translate the content within the `

` tags, but not the `

` tags themselves. Since there is no visible text content inside the tags, I cannot provide a translation.Please provide me with the actual text content within the `

` tags so I can assist you with the translation.

“Okay, go back now. Remember, you can't let anyone else know about you unless it's absolutely necessary. Understand”

Spirit is important.

He was also worried that if someone discovered the existence of Shu Ling, they might have evil intentions and covet it, causing some trouble. So he specially reminded her about this.

Wushu nodded his little head and said, "Master, please rest assured," then he returned to the Wuxuezong (Martial Arts Compendium).hysical body, and they also entered the stage of becoming a saint through their flesh.That is to say.The Candle Emperor had reached the level of a divine master in the realm of Shinto, and his physica...
