My construction materials are weird

"It is indeed so."

This is a yellow space with a radius of ten meters.

Beyond the ten meters is a dense fog, as thick as ink, obscuring everything within.

Stubborn sunlight shines in from an unknown source, penetrating the layers of thick fog and illuminating the ten-meter space.

It's like the eve of dawn.

"Deduce the approximate level of the millstone."

With that, Xuan Huang sat down cross-legged.

At this moment, a white light flickered from the center of his brow, with a hint of golden light flashing within its core.

Suddenly, the white light covered the ten-meter yellow space.

As a transmigrator, Xuan Huang possessed a golden finger, which was this space.

Due to unknown reasons, when he transmigrated, he was covered by the millstone's black energy. The previous owner had already had their soul drained and was about to have their flesh devoured.

When Xuan Huang transmigrated into this body, the situation was extremely critical.

He struggled desperately and inexplicably arrived in this space.

When he woke up, he felt a splitting headache.

It's hard to describe what kind of feeling it was.

Fortunately, he not only escaped the crisis but also fortunately bound himself to a space.

As of now, after three days of exploration, Xuan Huang roughly understood the reason.

Due to the transmigration, perhaps when traversing the endless chaos, for some unknown reason, his soul did not perish but instead gained a kind of indelible tenacity.

After arriving in this world, the strange millstone was also key. This millstone must be very extraordinary, and this space was originally the millstone's internal space.

Not only could he enter this place at any time around the millstone, but even from a very far distance, as long as he moved his mind, he could enter this place without hindrance.

It's almost unbelievable...

Originally the internal space of the millstone, it became his greatest reliance because his divine soul experienced the tempering of the chaotic sea when he transmigrated, giving birth to a trace of immortality.

Xuan Huang's experiments over the past few days revealed that strangeness is indeed an evolution of a rule.

This world is undergoing the fusion of myriad realms.

The rules and laws of various worlds colliding and shattering, during the fusion period, are fused with the desires of creatures from all realms, thus giving birth to all kinds of strangeness.

Furthermore, because fear is amplified and various malicious desires are rampant, all kinds of strangeness are created.

Therefore...

This is also the reason why transcendence is impossible.

The rules in this world are broken and incomplete during the fusion, so it is useless to have spiritual energy. The rules are twisting and colliding, so how can they be used?

No matter what kind of cultivation, the essence is to learn from heaven and earth, but heaven and earth are colliding and shattering, and cannot be directly looked at.

.........

White light shone, and Xuan Huang, who was sitting cross-legged, trembled all over, as if undergoing a difficult test. The divine soul's white light, covering the ten-meter radius, exuded a kind of rhythmic beauty.

After a while...

"Huff!"

"According to my estimation, this millstone is at least above the second order."

"And that's not even counting this space of unknown size?"

"Looking at it this way, if the millstone itself is second order, and this space is added to the externally visible millstone, the overall level is at least fourth order."

Having experienced an unbelievable transmigration, after his divine soul mutated, Xuan Huang gained a kind of innate knowledge.

He also received the teachings of the Great Dao of high-level creatures due to the essential improvement of his divine soul.

He doesn't understand the specific reasons now. His level is too low, and he needs to reach a certain stage to understand.

Anyway, it can be used, so let's take it slowly.

According to Xuan Huang's classification, transcendence is a first-order life form. As for the so-called martial masters and immortal masters, they have not even entered the order, even if they can defeat hundreds of people.

This is a qualitative change, and it is difficult to change with mere accumulation.

Xuan Huang calls his method of merging his will with the ten-meter space 'Super Ego'.

The divine soul merges with the ten-meter space. It looks like a small place, but the quality is already different. Strictly speaking, it is a kind of transcendent power.

"However, even though my divine soul has undergone transformation, my body and will are very weak, so I can only open up a ten-meter space. If my body were stronger and my will were stronger, the space I controlled would be larger."

"Based on my judgment, if I had a first-order transcendent body and will, the space I could control should be one thousand meters."

"According to the previous owner's martial apprentice's physical fitness, controlling ten meters is already not bad."

The previous owner was not the lowest of the low. After several years of martial arts practice, he had reached the level of a ten-man enemy martial apprentice.

Of course, this ten-man enemy is based on the previous standard before the human body's physical fitness changed.

Now humans have evolved a little, so it's probably not quite half that. Currently, a martial apprentice can probably defeat seven or eight people.

"Currently, neither martial arts nor immortal cultivation are suitable, as they cannot fundamentally solve the problem of transcendent control loss. I need to find a method that doesn't lose control?"

Xuan Huang doesn't value the paths of martial artists and immortal cultivators too much, as they don't solve the fundamental problem.

"Humans are a unified body of the metaphysical and the physical. The body belongs to the physical, while the soul, mind, divine soul, thinking, etc., including the spirits, belong to the metaphysical, so will is king."

"Will is the key to governing the physical and the metaphysical, the body and the soul."

If a person is compared to a computer, the body 'essence' is the hardware, 'spirit' is the software, and 'qi' is the electrical energy.

And will is the highest instruction set.

"In this world, whether it's a martial master or an immortal master, it's because their will hasn't taken shape, and they can't unify the essence, qi, and spirit of the body, leading to a loss of control."

In a normal world, the world's laws and rules operate completely.

But in this world, the laws and rules of the fusion of myriad realms are incomplete, and even in a state of distortion.

So transcendence cannot be born at all.

After all, humans and all things are formed under the operation of laws and rules.

The foundation of a person is born from the operation of Dao and its laws, how could one possibly transcend it?

"Willpower as King, one's own will integrates all the energy within one's body, a microcosm replacing the current incomplete macrocosm."

This is the method Xuan Huang has currently conceived.

"However... it is also very difficult."

Although willpower is the integration of essence, qi, and spirit, it cannot be separated from these hardware, software, and power sources.

"One can only temper willpower first, but one cannot let willpower become too strong and lose control; both must progress gradually."

Xuan Huang's current situation is like this.

The body, representing 'essence,' is weak, but the 'spirit,' representing the soul, is incomparably powerful. Fortunately, with the fusion with space and a bit of immortal characteristic, it can barely bear the burden.

If there were no space to support the soul, Xuan Huang might have lost control.

Therefore...

He currently looks very strong, but regrettably, he cannot bring that strength out.

And the body that can go out cannot bear the powerful soul.

A person's essence, qi, and spirit are synergistic. It is impossible for your body to be strong without strong qi and spirit; that would definitely be unbalanced.

Conversely, if your soul and qi are strong, your body cannot be weak.

In some cultivation worlds, the soul or qi can be strong while the body is slightly deficient; there are even methods such as soul ascension and corpse liberation.

But those are all for complete heavens and earth and Dao, not suitable for the distorted Dao at this moment.

If a corpse liberation immortal appeared here, without a doubt, they would become a carrier of the strange, and possibly even a source of pollution.

"Therefore, willpower, willpower."

Willpower is very difficult to describe, and it is difficult to determine whether it is strong or not. (Note: The willpower mentioned by the author is the setting in this article, an integration of essence, qi, and spirit)

But now, based on Xuan Huang's soul-fused space, this state similar to 'super-ego,' he has a classification.

"First, the first level of willpower must transform the formless into the tangible. Such willpower can control the body to be extraordinary without losing control."

"The first level should be a gaseous state, the second level should be a liquid state, the third level should be a solid state, and the fourth level should refer to my soul's white spirituality, which is similar to the Nascent Soul."

"It is useless to think too much about the higher fifth level, and I cannot sense it."

"As for the path, according to the 'super-ego' state, there are currently three methods: 'Furnace Method,' 'Heaven and Earth Method,' and 'Ruin Method.'"

The 'Furnace Method' is the simplest and safest method, derived by Xuan Huang from the martial arts of this world.

The difference is that while practicing martial arts, the soul outlines the 'Furnace Visualization Diagram.'

Integrating martial arts into the 'Furnace Method' not only tempers the body but also uses the spirit as the furnace and qi as the guide.

While the body becomes stronger, the qi and soul also grow simultaneously, so that the essence, qi, and spirit are synergistic.

When the three are synergistic, they will temper a stronger willpower to integrate them.

This stage is still mainly about tempering the body; a strong body will have sufficient qi, and sufficient qi will lead to a strong soul.

Layer by layer of feedback.

"The second method is the 'Ruin Method,' which is a bit dangerous."

The so-called 'Ruin Method' is nothing more than extreme tug-of-war with the strange millstone.

Using the millstone's nature of devouring everything to temper the soul.

A powerful soul in turn promotes a powerful body, and then the body replenishes qi, qi replenishes the soul, and the body cooperates to promote a powerful willpower.

It's the reverse.

The 'Furnace Method' starts from essence, and the 'Ruin Method' starts from spirit.

As for why it's called the 'Ruin Method' instead of the 'Millstone Method' or the 'Great Mill Method'?

Purely for the sake of sounding good, and that strange millstone devours everything, which has a bit of the meaning of all things returning to the void.

It happened to catch up, is it?

"As for the 'Heaven and Earth Method,' it naturally starts with qi."

The 'Heaven and Earth Method' starts with refining qi. According to his ability to control ten meters of space, he guides spiritual qi into the body.

Letting the qi become strong promotes the spirit, the spirit becomes strong promotes the essence, and the essence replenishes the qi, forming a cycle.

These are the three methods that Xuan Huang has explored in the super-ego state.

It is also a coincidence that there are exactly three paths: essence, qi, and spirit.

However, the paths converge to the same goal, which is to temper willpower.

And the three can have strengths and weaknesses, but they must be within a certain range. If the difference between the strengths and weaknesses is too large, it will inevitably lead to loss of control in this distorted world.

These problems are not big in a complete world, but not in this world.

"The three can also be carried out simultaneously, with essence, qi, and spirit progressing at the same time."

His spirit is of outstanding quality, but the quantity is not good.

A little characteristic is just a characteristic, representing a possibility and a high starting point, not unreasonable.

Otherwise, what he could control would not be ten meters, but the deduced fourth level.

"Let's still use the 'Furnace Method,' with the body as the main focus."

Xuan Huang has a premonition... that focusing on qi and spirit at this time is not the best way.

"It should be that the qi produced by the body is better than absorbing spiritual qi."

It's like one absorbing the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, and the other self-generating innate one qi.

Seemingly both are fine, but in this damned world, let's generate innate one qi ourselves.

Who knows if absorbing spiritual qi now will lead to a bumpy future.

It's not to say that we don't need spiritual qi anymore, that's impossible!

Spiritual qi is the foundation of all evolution. Without the nourishment of spiritual qi, the essence of the body will not transform; we still need to absorb the spiritual qi of heaven and earth.

But the result is different. Spiritual qi promotes a strong body, and the body, after being tempered, breeds a higher level of qi.

This is the key.

By analogy, the innate one qi bred by the body then continues to nourish a higher level of spirit, and the higher spirit continues to temper the body. This seems to be a more perfect path forward.

"Moreover, the 'Heaven and Earth Method' is not useless. After the body self-generates the innate one qi, the foundation is there, and then the 'Heaven and Earth Method' can absorb spiritual qi to become nourishment."

Thus, Xuan Huang temporarily decides.
